Darkness surrounded them, only a swing set and a some trees could be seen in the distance. Ichigo had just awoke from his trance and was regaining his thoughts. "How long was I out for?" Renji's face was also recovering from terror to a calm and collect expression. "Well I'm not exactly sure when you fell asleep but we left at around 4 and its almost 10." A shock was apparent on Ichigo's face, "Wow, it didn't seem like that long, I had only been on my walk for about two hours."
Ichigo was still on the bench, during his shut down he must have slumped down with his legs dangling off the bench but his body laying sideways against the seat. Because of this position, for Renji to wake Ichigo and see his face he had to sit close to his body pressing against it. But that still wasn't enough so the read head reached and leaned above the orange haired boy's face. Once Ichigo had waken up he had rolled his body slightly so that his torso was just about parallel to Renji's.
Rukia had just stood over him at his side for the moment in which it took to wake up Ichigo. At the moment in time in which both boys realized their situation, their faces both darkened and Renji's arms faltered and wobbled for a split second. Witnessing this, Rukia furrowed her eyebrows.
Jealousy and anger flared and she grabbed Renji's arm firmly. "Ah, what is it Ruk-"
The angered Kutchiki pulled with what looked like minimal effort and yanked Renji off, he fell to the cold, cement sidewalk.
"Ow! Damn it Rukia! What in the hell are you thinking!" She stood still, motionless, with an almost bloodthirsty tone she answered. "Its pretty dark out here, lets not fool around and get home. We wouldn't want anyone to get lost or hurt out here, now would we?" Her sinister eyes floated over to glare at Renji before he went stone cold. "Y-y-yeah, that s-sounds good."
Ichigo had no idea what was going on but he was terrified and just wanted to get home before someone was killed.
He sat up to walk with the two shinigami back home but he had to get them out of the death stare first. "Uh, Rukia's right, lets go back to my place, and on the way there I want to know what is going on."
The two stood and followed the boy as they set a course for home. It was quiet so Ichigo broke the ice. "Rukia I am not going to ask you any questions on why did it, but I swear it was all just an accid-"
"Its alright Ichigo," she had a smile on the was to happy to be real, "I was just confused by an odd turn of events, but I'm all better now, me and Renji worked it out." The abrupt change in mood caught the orange haired boy off guard and he didn't ask any further questions…..
It took awhile to get home, and most of the trip was spent with an awkward silence lingering in the air. Once Ichigo's door to his room was open he ran and pounced on his bed. If was 11:30pm and the long eventful day had tired him out.
The other two shinigami slowly found their way into the room. Rukia stood by her closet room where she sleeps when she visits and Renji just stood by the door way, Rukia was the first to open her mouth, "Its time we go to bed, Renji I think you should go back to the Shop with Urahaha and get some sleep.
Discomfort spread through Renji and he was bent on getting his way at the moment. "Well its to late to go all the way there so I think I ought to just stay the night here. But only if its okay with Ichigo.." After a quick glare at Rukia he turned to smile at the now puzzled Ichigo. "Well Ichigo, would you mind if I stayed the night?"
Authors Note: its been a very long time, I'm extremely sorry for this, but it didn't seem like a priority. So It might take some time for the next chapter :/ or not, I guess that's YOUR decision. ;)
