Short 9: - Finding Dates II !!
Shuuhei Hisagi didn't know what was wrong. He had privately asked Hermione after the class, for advice on getting a date and she had given what he thought was very good advice. Soul Society didn't have a curriculum on sex education, after all, it wasn't the most important topic to teach when facing hollows. He had taken her advice seriously and had tried his best. Although the that fact she couldn't look him face to face seemed to be disconcerting.
Dressed in something she called a 'Tuxedo', he was busy walking the hallways of Hogwarts. She had assured him his jagged, black hair and athletic build looked fine in the tuxedo. Confident, he decided to complete this date mission….thing.
He saw and approached a group of girls, carrying fresh flowers and a box of chocolates. But before he could even open his mouth, they took one look at him and run off. "Pervert!" he heard them call out.
Perplexed, he closed his eyes and steadied himself. 'You can try a witty pick up line to attract a girls attention before asking her to the ball' he remembered her saying. He thought to try that approach next. Walking casually up to a blonde 4th year he smiled and said in the most casual voice he could muster, "If you were a hollow, I'd let you eat me…"
The girl turned around and slapped him. Screaming "Damn lolli-pedo pervert!!" before storming off!
Stunned, he didn't understand her reaction. He thought the line was fairly funny and complementary, after all, it was a Hollows dream to eat a Shinigami. He really didn't understand these humans.
'People can meet by accidents too, sometimes merely bumping into someone can lead to friendship or more' Another piece of advice he remembered.
Stepping cautiously up to the good looking asian student, he tripped purposely, and while toppling over he grabbed her and was careful to land underneath her, to absorb the impact and not hurt her. "Sorry about that! It was an accident. By the way my…." His sentence was cut short by the line of dribble landing on his face. He hadn't thought of putting away his Zanpaktou before doing this, and it had now stood vertical, rammed hard against the girls body, which was making a fairly good impression of a tent on it.
"Aaarrrggghhh!!!" A girl shrieked. "Cho! Are you ok speak to me" The new girl came running down the narrow hallway fixing him with an evil glare. Looking the asian girl over, she mumbled something about 'broken ribs' and 'unconscious' before carrying her off.
Dejected he wandered the hallways, carrying his broken flowers and crushed chocolates. He had tried to approach a few more girls but they either looked at him and ran off screaming or blushed heavily and said they were already going with someone else. He'd even tried bribery, "I'll give you these if you come with me tonight." But that had earned him even more scolding and shout's of 'not being cheap' or some such statement to that effect.
He was about to give up. This date thing was hurting his ego immensely. Sitting down on a bench outside the castle he tossed his chocolates and flowers into a bin next to him and murmured to himself, "This missions too hard."
Closing his eyes, he was suddenly shaken out of his reverie by a young girl with shoulder length, dirty blonde hair. He noticed her sitting down beside him, some sort of stick behind her ear and a necklace made of some sort of weird bottle top. "Hi! I'm Luna Lovegood." She gazed at him through grey eyes which seemed to focus beyond him.
"Shuuhei Hisagi" he answered
"I've been watching you. You really try too hard." She gave him a weak smile.
"I do?"
"Yes, You should be more natural and less forced. Be yourself!"
"Be.. myself" he repeated as if tasting the words for the first time.
"What's that tattoo on your face mean?" pointing to the large '69' tattooed on his cheek.
"This," He said pointing to his cheek, "Kidou, this is my favourite technique."
She turned a weird look on him and half blushing, half confusing. "Technique?"
"Yes, Kidou, it's similar to your magic." He asked intrigued why she found his tattoo so interesting.
"Ooooohhh…. I see" Then she giggled nervously staring away into the yard in front of them. "I thought you called me Kiddo!"
Perplexed he stared at her. He didn't have anything to lose so he asked, "Do you have a date?"
"No… The boy I fancy's asked another to go…"
"Would you be my date to the ball?"
"Aren't I a bit young?" She didn't really care but wondered why he would ask a child.
"Well I am 150 years or so old, so I guess everyone here's too young for me…" he paused thinking about it a little, "…where I come from age isn't too much of an issue because I'll look like this for another 800 years or so!"
"Wow that's incredible" she looked at him with genuine interest. What he liked was the fact that she looked like she actually believed him, unlike most humans he had met at this school.
"So… Would you come to the ball as my date?"
She thought about it a little, gazing off into the distance dreamily before answering without turning her head. "Sure… Strictly platonic ok!"
"Thank you" he answered, whatever 'platonic' meant he didn't care. He had got a date.
Remembering something, he reached over to the flowers in the bin and pulled them out. Although battered and crushed, he handed them to her. "I heard this was the custom."
She laughed and accepted them as she stood up to leave. Thinking he should just be himself, he asked her as a way of thanking her, "So, would you like to see my technique?"
