Forgotten Memories
The sun shined through the open window. The birds were singing, and a pleasant spring breeze sent the cherry blossoms dancing through the sky. Hanataro opened his eyes, awaking from his deep slumber. He smiled at the morning serenity and turned to see a girl sleeping next to him. ...Wait THE GIRL SLEEPING NEXT TO HIM!?
Hanataro sat up suddenly, trying his best not to freak out. Tatsuki mumbled something nd turned over, ddrifting back to sleep. Maybe I can sneak out before she notices I am in here. He slowly tried to climb out of the bed, only to be stopped by his hand. She's grabbing my hand! I can't leave now. What do I do!? He tried to pull his hand free, but no luck there. He decided to give up and lay back next to Tatsuki. Unfortunately for him, she was waking up. She was less than thrilled with the situation.
Damn, she can punch really hard! Hanataro was walking on his way to Ichigo's house. It was Sunday, so there wasn't any school. He turned left at the corner by the convinience store he worked at when in the human world previously, and went to the end of the street. He turned right by the park and went straight until he could see the Kurosaki clinic. He took a breath and opened the door.
"ICHIGO!"
"Wha!" Hanataro was tackled to the ground by the older man he assumed to be Ichigo's father. "I'm...not...Ichi...go..." was all he could make out with the man still on top of him. "Oh? I guess you aren't! Sorry!" He helped Hanataro to his feet. "It's fine, really. These past couple months have made me quite a bit tougher." At that moment the door swung open and Ichigo walked in. "Ichigooooo!" his father whined, "I accidentally hit your friend instead."
"What friend? Oh god Hanataro! Are you okay!? Your not dead are you!?" He saw Hanataro slowly stand up. "I'm fine. But you aren't going to be for long! How could you get me sick like that!?" Ichigo held his hands hope."Geeze! I told you not to heal yourself with your zanpacto!"Hanataro just ignored him. "Not only was I ridiculously sick, but Tatsuki punched me in the face for being a 'molester in her room.'" Ichigo snikered. "Wait... you were in her room? Hanataro you sly dog! I didn't know you had it in you!"
Hanataro turned red. "T-that isn't what I meant! I mean... I was in there, but nothing happened!" Ichigo just smirked. "Suuuurrrrree. And your shirt being onside-out is completely coincidental." Hanataro looked down at his shirt. "HIIEEE! I need to fix this before anyone... ELSE gets the wrong idea!" He quickly took his shirt off to fix it and Ichigo's eyes widened. "Damn Hanataro! What have you been doing? You've actually got muscle! Tatsuki is a miracle worker!" Hanataro blushed deeper. "I think I'll just be going now." Ichigo smirked again. "Alright, see ya!" Hanataro, you're getting a lot stronger.
~o~
Hanataro ran out of the clinic. "Well that was a waste of time!" he said to himself. Thinking about what he would do the rest of the day, he failed to notice the boys approaching him and they collided. *CRASH*
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking were I was going!" He helped the boy up and recognized him from school. "Hey! I know you! You're in my grade."
Kururu looked startled. Why is he talking to me? I don't rally have a lot of friends..."So, do you want to hang out?" Kururu blinked. Didi he hear that right? "Hang out?" The other boy grinned. "Yeah, go somewhere fun! I'm Hakari, remember? I have a twin sister Mizuno?" Kururu blinked. "Yeah, I remember. But, why do you want to spend time with me?" Hanataro chuckled. "Well, we're friends, aren't we?" Kururu felt so happy at the sound of this, but he also felt slight uneasiness. Why did it feel like he was forgetting something important?
~o~
Momo felt hopelessly confused. Whenever a guy acted nice to her, the next time she saw him, he would be trembling with fear and say he couldn't see her anymore. Why did this keep happening? She sighed. It was times like this she wished Toshiro were here.
Maybe I can call him! She took out her phone and dialed his number. "Hello?" "Shiro-chan! You picked up! That makes me so happy! All the guys are afraid of me and I wish you were here." Trying to ignore the fact that she called him "Shiro-chan," he said, " Momo, those guys aren't good enough for you. And if it will make you feel better, I cn probably stop by for a visit." "REALLY? Thanks Shiro-schan! You're the best!" "Just don't call me Shiro -chan." "Okay! You know, you actually sound close by. Where are you?" "I'm nnot anywhere important , but I, um, have to go because... the... Matsumoto is slacking off again!" "Ummm okay! Bye~" click.
Yay! I get to see Shiro! That was too close for comfort. Toshiro Hitsuguya had, in fact, been very close by. In a tree about ten feet away to be specific. I was a good thing she was completely oblivious to her surroundings.
~o~
What was that idiot thinking!? Tatsuki paced around her house thinking. She woke up from an amazing dream that morning, and she saw Hanataro's face right next to hers. She punched him, not knowing how else to react, and spent the rest of the day practicing karate in the dojo nearby. She returned home, but nothing had helped her get it out of her head. ARG! I am such an idiot! Why do I always feel so strange around Hakari? I mean, last night when I was taking care of him, he was laying there and I wanted t hold him and tell him it would be alright. And then when he clutched me to him, I could feel the even muscle tone he built up through training. His muscular arms held me tight, and I felt so safe. I looked at his sleeping face and wanted nothing more than to k... NO! Tatsuki stop thinking like that! You didn't want to do anything like that!... Aw, who am I kidding? I do feel that way for him.
Tatsuki went out on her patio and looked to see Hanataro and another boy from class walking with him. She turned to walk back to her room, but twisted her foot and fell over the edge. No! s this really how it's going to end? I'm five floors up! there is no way I can survive this fall! She closed her eyes and braced for the impact...
...only to be caught by a pair of strong arms. She looked up and was shocked to see who it was.
A/N: Whew! This chapter was really difficult to write! Please don't hate me too much if it was bad! I tried to get everyone's point of view in this chapter, so please tell me what you thought! This chapter focused a lot on romance, so I will try to put some more action in the next!
1. I don't know if cell phones work in soul society, but for the purpose of the story, I say they do! ^^
2. Tatsuki has her first crush! *squeeeee* I think it is too cute! ;
3. I ended with a cliffhanger! (I am so evil!) :p
4.The person who caught Tatsuki is not who you think it is! Whoever guessesit right will get 100 virtual cookies! And recognition as the smartest person ever! (in my book!) So please review! :3
I suck at writing romance, please tell me! It's really hard for me to write, and I don't exactly have *ahem* any... experience necessary. (I know it's sad. I'm pathetic) xo
6. Anyone who likes my writing should also check out my fictionpress profile! I am nekonotebook and I am writing an original story! C:
7. Finally, I am currently writing two other stories. One is a fic for Fairy Tail and I am soon going to start one for Fullmetal Alchemist! Don't worry my millions (yeah right) of fans! I will still make finishing this story priority! o;o
See you next time! Manga-neko signing out! ^_^
