Chapter 10
'How the hell did this happen? Maybe it had something to do with that weird headache thing…'
Ichigo thought as he watched Rukia fighting with the hollow. She looked frustrated, because the hollow didn't seem to wanna go down too easy even though it was only a low level hollow.
'Why won't you dieeee!'
Ichigo laughed slightly as Rukia yelled in frustration inside her head, and then jumped in the air and swung her zanpakuto down on the hollow's mask.
'Damn that shinigami how can I have been beaten by someone so small and weak?'
"Well what do you know." Ichigo mumbled to himself. "I can hear hollow's thoughts as well."
Rukia walked over panting slightly.
"It wasn't that hard was it?"
"Shut up, it's not like you helped at all."
"Well you're the one who said when we got here "I haven't had a chance to do much training for a while so let me deal with this one" and so I let you and now you're complaining."
"Shut up…" Rukia mumbled, even though she was smiling slightly.
"Any way how 'bout we walk back instead of using shunpo, 'coz it's a nice day and also by the way, I need to stop by Urahara's."
"What do you need to see Urahara for?"
"I just need to ask about something, don't worry I'm sure it's nothing."
Ichigo wasn't sure whether or not he should tell Rukia about this reading minds thing…but then again it wasn't like he could just stop listening. It was like someone talking to you, unless you blocked your ears or walked away you couldn't help but hear. And he figured that he would look a bit weird blocking his ears or running away every few minutes.
Rukia was now walking a few feet behind Ichigo and the only way he could tell if she was thinking or talking was that when she thought something it sounded slightly different, like it was distant and had a slight echo.
'I wonder if he even remembers what I said last week…That I love him…*sigh* I don't even know what to think on that topic anymore…'
Ichigo nearly tripped over in surprise. It was true, he forgot about it completely but now that she said/thought it he remembered clearly.
'I think I really do… God I feel like such an idiot he's had the guts to tell me how he feels so why do I feel so damn afraid?'
Ichigo couldn't help but enjoy having the inside scoop on everything, even if it was really a dodgy thing to do listening to someone's private thoughts. He just kept telling himself that he couldn't help it and at least he was going to Urahara's to find out what was happening.
'Hmm, nice ass…'
Ichigo burst out laughing and held onto a fence to keep him from falling over.
"What is wrong with you?"
"Nice ass!?" He blurted out through his laughter in disbelief.
"You heard what I thought!?"
"No… Were you thinking that?" Ichigo said innocently.
"Ichigo what the hell is going on?"
"Okay okay, don't get angry 'coz it's not my fault, but I can somehow hear people's thoughts, it only started just after that headache thing. That's why I wanted to see Urahara."
"YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO MY THOUGHTS AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"
"You loovee me" Ichigo teased, ignoring her anger.
"You loovee me more so you can't talk!"
"Have you got a problem with me loving you?"
"Maybe I do."
"Doesn't sound like it in your thoughts."
"Shut up, you annoying bastard!"
Ichigo laughed at her and ran off.
"Race ya to Urahara's shop. I bet you'll lose with those midget legs of yours." He called out behind him.
'You're on, you mind reading idiot!' She yelled back in her mind and then shunpoed after him.
