This chapter is not that hard to write since Ichigo and Rukia do this all the time. Yeah, so I'm not going to update for a little while because of exams and all that crap. Grr...I hate school
Heated Arguments
A black musty train chugged its way through the snow, leaving black ashes and smoke behind. It was in a good distance of leaving Karakura Town and to Seireitei. Lucia and Renji were already sitting in their seats with Lucia playing around with the white hilt in her pocket while slouching on her seat near the windows. Renji was already filling out the travel papers and Kon was sitting next to him, enjoying his view of Lucia. Naomi and Hitsugaya had already left the passenger car, but with different reasons. Naomi left because she needed to go to the little girl's room and Hitsugaya wanted to get some fresh air.
Ichigo lifted another heavy bag and a long wrapped package into the bag carriers that were above the seats. He gently placed the stuff above Lucia's seat and he moved back to take the seat next to Renji with the window. Suddenly a loud growl was heard once Ichigo was about to sit down.
"HEY!! Back off!!" Kon yelled out with annoyance in his tone.
Ichigo growled back at Kon since he was really pissed at the moment. "The toy gets the window seat", he muttered under his breath and took the seat right next to Lucia.
"Yeah! That's right!! Go, shoo!!" Kon boastfully said, which really ticked Ichigo off. Soon popping veins were sprouting out of Ichigo's head.
A couple minutes later, Naomi shuffled her way back to her passenger car from the little girl's room. Once she opened the sliding doors, she saw Hitsugaya sitting in the seat Kon was occupying. "Wasn't Kon just there before?" Naomi curiously asked Hitsugaya.
Hitsugaya, who was staring out the window at the moment, merely glanced at Naomi before looking back at the view of the window. "He was…but now he isn't."
Naomi stared confused at the seat Hitsugaya was in. She swore she heard that Kon was never going to give away the seat that is right in front of his lovely little Lucia. Quote. She shrugged off the confusion that was going on in her head and took the seat right next to Renji, who was still working on those papers. But she was still wondering where Kon might be…
Elsewhere…
The baggage car sat at the very front of the train. Everything there was below freezing and the hot engine in front of that car couldn't warm it up. Taped to one of the walls was Kon.
"ICHIGO!!! YOU JERK!!" Kon screamed out through the hollow darkness.
Back to the Passenger Cars…
Ichigo slid open the doors of his car and he haughtily took the seat right next to Lucia since the window seat he wanted was again, occupied. For a moment there, everything in that car was silent. Lucia kept fiddling with the snowy white hilt that was in her pocket and Naomi was reading one of the travel guides that were in the train. Hitsugaya and Renji were doing their own thing while Ichigo was secretly observing Lucia from the corner of his eye. He suddenly caught on to her bad posture and her constant moving fingers that were in her pocket.
"Stop fiddling with whatever's in your pocket and sit up straight", Ichigo reminded Lucia and stared straight at her.
Lucia haughtily removed her hands from her pocket and crossed them on her chest whilst glaring at Ichigo the entire way through. She slouched down even more into her seat and gave a groan of annoyance.
"Remember. You're a princess", Ichigo told the still slouching Lucia.
"And how is it that you know what princesses do and don't do?" Lucia snidely retorted back at Ichigo.
"I make it my business to know", Ichigo said smiling at her. Unconsciously, he had placed his arm around her and was looking at Lucia deep in the eyes.
"Oh", Lucia dully replied and went back to her slouching position and her unnerving habit in her pocket.
Renji peered up from the top of his half filled papers and rolled his eyes at the two's obliviousness. He certainly knew what exactly was going on and so did Hitsugaya and Naomi.
"Look Lucia…I'm just trying to help", Ichigo said in a compromising way to Lucia.
"Ichigo", Lucia asked and she sat up straight from her slouching. "Do you think I'm royalty?"
"You know I do", Ichigo said and smiled to Lucia again.
"Then STOP BOSSING ME AROUND!!" Lucia screamed in a fit of anger right at Ichigo's face. After yelling, she crossed her arms on her chest again and reverted her attention back at the window. Ichigo looked like his mind has been blown to pieces and Renji and Naomi were dying inside from all the comic relief they were getting.
"She certainly has a mind of her own", Renji said as he held back the chuckles.
"Yeah, I hate that in a woman", Ichigo haughtily said and turned as far away from Lucia as humanly possible.
Yet he didn't notice that Lucia was sticking her tongue at him when he wasn't looking and once he turned back, she averted to her current posture. Renji stealthily pulled out a piece of paper he had hidden inside his coat. He opened the folded paper and added two more slashes under Lucia's name making her 28 into a 30 and Ichigo was still standing there with 3. He quickly hid the paper again since Ichigo would kill him if he found out that Renji was keeping track of the times Ichigo was getting owned by Lucia.
On the other hand, Hitsugaya popped open one eye from his resting face, and saw that Lucia and Ichigo were fighting…again. Complete idiots, Hitsugaya thought to himself and went back to staring out the window.
Oh boy… Naomi nervously thought to herself as she peeked from the top of the travel guide she was reading at the moment. Ichigo quickly caught Naomi strangely looking at them and Naomi turn back to her book in fear.
Renji had left for the dining car, accompanied with Hitsugaya and Naomi, after a few moments of awkward silence in their car. Ichigo had left the car after them to go to the little boy's room. All of them had left Lucia alone in her car. She was starting to get even more bored from her loneliness, so she took out a random book that was in the seat pockets and started reading it. All of it was boring since it only talked about how great Seireitei is and the amazing sights there were to see there.
Soon Ichigo returned from his trip and he finally took his window seat. "Look I think we got off on the wrong foot", he said trying to compromise with Lucia.
"Well I think we did too", Lucia replied and turned back to her book.
"Okay-" Ichigo was about to continue until Lucia butted back in and cut him off.
"But I appreciate the apology", she dully said.
"Apology!! Who said anything about an apology?" Ichigo exclaimed surprised. And here he wanted to compromise and this girl in front of him is acting like she's the Queen of Shiba.
"Look, don't talk anymore. It's only going to upset me, okay", a very irritated Lucia retorted and threw her book at Ichigo, which he easily caught with one hand.
"Fine I'll be quiet!!" Ichigo angrily spat out. "I'll be quiet if you will."
"Alright I'll be quiet", Lucia spat back at Ichigo and placed her legs near the seat Ichigo was sitting reverting back to her slouching position.
"Fine!" Ichigo angrily said.
"Fine!!" Lucia angrily repeated and Ichigo groaned as a reply.
"So you think you're going to miss it?" Luca suddenly asked since she wanted to try and make compromise with the ogre sitting across from her.
"Miss what? Your talking?" Ichigo said back, still irked from their last conversation.
"No!" Lucia retorted angrily at him. "Karakura Town."
Ichigo smirked at her and gave a definite reply. "Nope"
"But it was your home", Lucia said and straightened her posture since the slouching was starting to hurt her back.
"It was a place I once lived. End of story", Ichigo immediately replied.
"So you plan on making Seireitei your true home?" Lucia asked in curiosity.
"What is it with you and homes?" Ichigo exclaimed and placed his legs up onto the seats opposite of him, blocking the exit for Lucia.
"Well for one thing, it's something that a normal person wants and loves", Lucia exclaimed in anger and she stood up to leave since she couldn't stand talking to Ichigo anymore. "And for another thing-" Lucia started and she tried to kick Ichigo's legs out of her way, but he just wouldn't budge. Ichigo couldn't help but smirk at her attempts. "Well-its-Uhh!! Just forget it!!" She screamed at Ichigo.
Ichigo rubbed and tweaked his ears that were in pain from the screaming fit Lucia was giving him. "Shut it you midget", he annoyingly told Lucia whose anger was building up more and more. "Your talking was bad enough, but your yelling is hell."
"Oh!!" Lucia loudly groaned. "Why don't you shut up, you cheeky idiot!!"
"What was that midget!?" Ichigo dangerously said and he angrily stood up, almost towering over Lucia.
Lucia stood up as well and haughtily gave Ichigo a stare up. Lucia just couldn't take the midget comments well and her anger exploded at that moment. "OH!! I HATE YOU!!! BAKA!!" Lucia yelled at Ichigo and kicked him in a place where male individuals should definitely not be kicked. Ichigo doubled over in pain just as Renji, Hitsugaya, and Naomi walked into their car.
"Thank goodness you're here", Lucia anxiously went up to Renji. "Just please. Remove him from my sight", she angrily spat out and she pointed a finger at the still in pain Ichigo.
"What did you do to her?" Renji asked in irritancy since he needed to go to the little boy's room bad after eating a four-course meal.
"Me!! Look what she did to me! It's her!!" Ichigo said recovering already from the pain Lucia had given him.
"HA!!" Lucia exclaimed and ran out of their car. She promptly slammed the door shut with so much force that their bags were rattling in their carriers. Lucia turned on her heel and ran in one direction in the hallways leading to the little girl's room. Her hair was getting pretty messed up from the outbursts she was giving. (A/N: Hah. Everyone's going to the bathroom except for Hitsugaya)
"He digs her", Renji whispered to Hitsugaya.
"No doubt", Hitsugaya agreed, but their little conversation was unfortunately heard within the earshot of Ichigo.
"Me!? With that stupid little brat!! No!!" Ichigo finalized angrily and stormed out of their car and slammed their door harder than Lucia did. The bags didn't just rattle since one fell out and landed on Renji's head. He left and stomped away in the opposite direction Lucia went. "Me and her? Ridiculous!!"
"You gotta admit", Naomi said to Hitsugaya and Renji. "They're cute when they fight."
