Chapter 7: To Lightheaded To Think

"Thank you very much for walking us here." Maura thanked for Rachel and Britney and smiled shyly. Britney was standing far away from them and was scoping out every guy that walked by her. Rachel, on the other hand, was looked every where for thee most relaxing spot of campus. Maura laughed nervously and Rukia giggled. Rukia smiled and watched Maura turn to retrieve her cousins that were making a scene on the first day. Rukia laughed and then started began to walk to homeroom. Instead of following her, Ichigo stood there watching Maura walk away. The way she walked, the way her hair bounced and she walked away from him. The way he looked at her, it was as if he was fascinated by the goddess of black magic and it would kill him just to be alone with her for one night. All he wanted was just to be with her, feel her touch, listen to her talk, and kiss thee un-kissable. He turned red thinking these untold thoughts of love and explicit images of love making. These images of dreams he dreamt all night of her being close to him or even both of them wanting that feeling of being inside each other. These feelings he was sensing made him get lost in his own body once again. But before he knew it the bell interrupted his thoughts and he freaked because he was going to be late for homeroom.


The bell had just rung for lunch when Keigo Asano jumped in front of Ichigo's desk, making Ichigo stay sitting while Keigo freaked out about something that was taking up Ichigo's lunch time. "Ichigo have you heard about the three new Hotties! Three of them! Three new Hotties!" Keigo was freaking out but Ichigo stood up from his desk, not saying any interest in what Keigo was saying. He was more interested in what food was going to fill his stomach in the matter of minutes. "Ichigo are you listening to me?! Three New Girls! Ones in Class A and the two other ones are in Class C! And the best thing is there in our class for HISTORY!" Keigo just kept explaining and Ichigo kept ignoring. Ichigo just walked out of class while Keigo freaked out on him be Ichigo was apparently not listening.

I wonder what Maura's doing for lunch? Ichigo thought as he walked out of the classroom and scanned for any signs for Maura's radiant aura. He felt and saw nothing so he continued to walk towards the cafeteria for his food.


Maura was walking down a path on the other side of school going to the spot her cousin claimed they would meet for lunch. This place was new to her, nothing like Massachusetts. This place confused her. She hugged herself, lost in her memories. She then turned the corner, not paying attention to where she was going and she bumped into someone. She lost her balance causing her to fall backwards onto her ass.


Ichigo was walking, hands in his pockets, away from the cafeteria because it was so crowed. He didn't even get any food. His stomach growled, he was hungry but this crowded school was getting in his way. He walked by himself around the soccer fields, past the cluster of shady trees where he saw Rachel and Britney eating lunch and possibly waiting for Maura. He walked toward the dark wall. The dark wall was a wall on the farthest part of school that was a place to go when you wanted to be alone or with a girlfriend or boyfriend. It was the one place in the school that didn't get any sunlight all day and everyone knew where it was except for teachers. Well not like her wanted to anything at the wall with himself, he just needed to get away. A lot has happened in the past day that hasn't sunken in yet, and he just needed to get away. He was about to turn the corner when someone turned the corner and bumped into him. They were sent flying off of him and Ichigo was too deep in thought to even think about if anyone was turning the corner. "Hey I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." Ichigo apologized and looked down at the person on the ground. MAURA!!!! Ichigo saw the small, beautiful person that he was falling for. He saw her hurt face and he felt his heart sink. He bent down, "Hey Maura you okay?"

Maura looked up into his stern face and chocolate brown eyes and her heart started pounding so badly it made her body shake. "Yeah I'm fine." She smiled and Ichigo held out a hand for her to take. She took it openly and he gently brought her to her feet. Ichigo was dying because feeling her touch again just made him too complete. Maura, on the other hand, heart was going ballistic in her chest and it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Also her fingers were tingling form Ichigo's touch. Ichigo didn't want to do it, but he let go of her hand and Maura dusted herself off. The tingling sensation left her hand and started to spread through her body and made her body hot especially her face.

Ichigo saw her face and wasn't sure if she was blushing or just plain hot. Maura was looked to the ground and Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "Maura you okay?" Ichigo asked and she began to walk in the direction she was going before.

"Yeah fine." She replied and hid her face behind her bangs.

Ichigo walked up next to her, "You sure, your face is all red. Why don't you sit down?" Ichigo suggested and looked down at her.

Maura felt light headed and her heart was about to explode. She stopped walking, turned towards Ichigo who stopped walking when she did and looked up at him. She smiled, "I'm fine really," But when she looked into his eyes her heart started to ache and she began not to breathe right and not think right. "I . . . just . . . stood . . . to . . . quickly . . ." She then started to loose all senses of her body, her whole mind went black, and she started to loose balance.

As she started to fall backwards Ichigo reflexes reacted and he caught her before she even got to the ground. "Maura?" Ichigo shook her lightly when she was lying in his arms. When she didn't respond he knew she passed out. He swore under his breath, "Shit!" He then gathered her up in his arms and ran as fast as he could to the nurses.
