Chapter 6
Author's note: Sorry about taking forever to update, just haven't been too motivated lately.
"What do you mean you don't have it?!" Karin was seething, her cards unguarded, shown for all to see. Ichigo grinned.
"Go fish."
Karin threw down her cards angrily, Yuzu giggling behind her palm.
"You fucken cheated!" Karin barked, Ichigo frowning as he stood up, towering over Karin who growled angrily.
"I didn't cheat. And watch your disgusting mouth," he growled back, Karin narrowing her eyes.
"You guys lets just play another game," Yuzu said quickly to end the war that was about to rage, picking up all the cards before shuffling them.
The three were the only ones home, their dad gone for the night. Due to it being Friday they could stay up late, and every time they took advantage of it.
Bowls of popcorn and homemade slushies sat on the ground, a few buttered pieces of popcorn forgotten on the tiled floor.
Blankets were pulled into a circle around them, used as seats, the cushions left on the couch.
The TV was on but it was turned low, mainly used for back noise. All the doors and windows were closed and locked, the only light turned on the one in the kitchen. They could see perfectly though, reseating themselves.
"Wanna play blackjack?" Yuzu asked, Ichigo shaking his head when she looked to him. Karin didn't seem to interested either.
"Bullshit?" Karin suggested, Ichigo sending her a quick glare before sighing in defeat.
How the hell can you argue with the name of a game?
"Fine," he agreed, Yuzu squealing happily as she dished out the cards.
They played three rounds before they ran out of popcorn, Ichigo hyped up since he was so close to winning this round, again.
"I swear you are cheating!" Karin yelled angrily, Ichigo rolling his eyes, not even caring to try to convince her anymore.
He popped a bag of popcorn he had left on the counter into the microwave, pressing popcorn, the microwave taking a second before buzzing as it began to heat up their snack.
His phone buzzed, Ichigo taking it from his back pocket, leaning against the counter as he flipped it open.
It was from Grimmjow so he was quick to open it. For the past month many tests had been barricading his free time as he increased his studying, so he and Grimmjow haven't really done anything for a good two weeks.
'I have a surprise,' it read, Ichigo frowning.
He hated surprises.
But he decided to play along, sighing as he typed in his response.
'What is it?'
He looked to the time remaining on the microwave, beating his fingers against the counter.
He looked back to his phone when it vibrated, opening the message.
'Hollow Hearts is coming to town, I got tickets.'
Ichigo was deadpan. He could distinctly hear the beeping of the microwave, a surge of excitement entering his veins.
They were? He did?
"Are you deaf?" Karin grumbled as she walked into the kitchen, opening the microwave and taking out the popcorn.
Ichigo shook his head, giving her a half hearted glare.
"Are you a whiny brat?" he asked, grunting when she punched him in the stomach, Karin smirking as she ran out of the kitchen with the bowl and popcorn.
Ichigo grumbled beneath his breath, forcing himself to look at the text and not chase her down.
His phone vibrated again, the yellow letters saying new message lighting up his screen.
'They won't come till another two months, but I got it early because they sell out fast,' it said, Ichigo nodding in understanding. Even though the member's were a little creepy looking, their music was not only exhilarating, but electric and intoxicating. Despite the fact that the lyrics were a tad on the dark side.
'Alright, what day?' he texted as he walked back into the living room, Karin this time shuffling the cards, Ichigo pointing at her angrily with a shake of his head.
"No, she gonna cheat if you let her shuffle," he claimed, Karin rolling her eyes even though she distributed the cards between them, Ichigo sitting down when he was plainly ignored by a relaxed Yuzu.
"Yeah right, like I would cheat like your monkey self," Karin said haughtily with a roll of her gray eyes.
Ichigo frowned.
"Monkey? Well I guess it takes one to know one," he retorted with a smirk, Karin growling angrily at him.
"Say's the Strawberry," she replied mockingly, Ichigo stuttering as his comebacks shortened considerably.
"Why you-" his retort was cut short when his phone vibrated, pulling it out of his pocket with a huff, opening the message.
'June 9,' it said Ichigo frowning. He looked to the calendar on his phone, frowning when he realized it was on a Monday.
'That's a Monday,' he pointed out, picking up his cards as the game began.
'I know, but I already got the tickets…'
Ichigo rolled his eyes at the text.
"I have two aces," he claimed, putting down two cards. His lips twitched up into a smirk as Karin stared at him, trying to distinguish if he was lying or not.
"Bullshit," she said after a long while, Ichigo's small smirk rising into a full smile. She flipped them over, growling when it was the actual two aces.
She picked up the two cards, only adding more to her hand. Now it was Yuzu's turn.
'I will see if I can go,' he texted before putting his phone on the floor next to him.
They each put down their respectful cards, neither wanting to say bullshit as the pile grew larger and larger.
Ichigo looked down when his phone vibrated, Karin taking the chance to glance at his cards as he momentarily remained unguarded. She grinned evilly.
"It's your turn Ichigo," she said sweetly, Ichigo looking to her cautiously.
"Let me just answer this text," he mumbled, a terrible shiver of warning going down his back.
'Alright,' it said, Ichigo snorting before looking to both of his sister's.
"What was my number again?" he asked, Yuzu looking confused herself.
"It was ten," Karin replied, Ichigo nodding before looking down to his cards. The only thing was that he didn't have a ten.
He sighed, placing down a king.
"I have one ten."
"Bullshit," Karin claimed before Yuzu could put down her card, Ichigo raising an eyebrow, shaking a little as he looked to the pile. It had added up to a near two inches thick, Ichigo gritting his teeth when she flipped over his card to prove his lie.
"Not so good at lying now, are you Ichi?" she asked with an evil chuckle, Ichigo picking up the pile grudgingly.
"Don't bother laying down your next card," she told him, Ichigo stopping what he was doing. Yuzu raised an eyebrow.
Karin paled as ichigo growled.
"Cheater!"
Author's note: This was actually inspired by my younger sister. She is the champion at Bullshit. And I know, short. I will try to extend it next chapter.
