Thanks for the review WammyBoysFTW ^^ And yeah, Ichigo is part shark, cause it's sooo classy... XD
10 Have a nice lunch!
...
...
"What do you mean all the fishes disappeared?" A very very angry Kenpachi yelled.
The small cook were sweating heavily. "Th..that's the truth, nothing is left! I checked the dustbins, the garden the stables! anywhere, the fishes have just disappeared!"
"Any other seafood?"
"N…No, chief, no seafood at all…."
Whispers filled the room. The cooking team was in a really bad off. A lunch to serve in 2 hours and the main ingredient was missing.
"Let's cook meat." He simply said
Everyone turned to looked at the orange haired man who had just talked. Kenpachi eyed him. "What's your point?"
Ichigo crossed his arms behind his head. "Well, we don't have fish anymore, so let's prepare some meat! If we make a very tasteful dish, he can't really blame us. And what is this obsession with fish? He should try, taste other things, and it's our DUTY to make him discover new flavor! So who's with me?" He shouted enthusiastically. Silence. 'Great… I totally failed…' He thought, sweat dropping.
Kenpachi grinned. "You're right! I'm really taking a liking to you kids. Everyone, get ready, at noon, it will be boeuf rossini!" He shouted, giving Ichigo an affectionate punch which nearly made Ichigo passing out.
...
...
"Uryuuuuuu!"
He rolled his eyes as he saw a goofy Keigo happily gamboling toward him.
"I missed you this morning! Hey, next time you go check something in town, tell me, I love going with you to brighten your day!"
He sighed. "Good for you, unfortunately, I DON'T like you "brightening" my day, but thank you for the suggestion." He said sarcastically. "And I didn't tell you what I was doing today 'cause I thought it was your first day as a cook apprentice…"
"Yeah it was… But when I woke up, I felt more like going with you!" Ishida rolled his eyes. "And can you keep a secret?" Keigo said lowering his voice.
Ishida glared at him. "Whatever…"
"I'm…not interested in cooking at all!"
Ishida sighed. "You should get a life…"
"I HAVE a life!"
"Which sounds very interesting, really. "Ishida said smirking, as he went away from Keigo.
"Yeah, I know." Keigo said with pride. He turned his head to see his friend wasn't even listening to him. "Hey! Where are you going?"
"Lunch!"
"Cool! Wait for me."
Ishida stopped and turned around to look at his friend. "I don't want you for lunch." He told him sternly.
"Hahahaaaa, nice job, I never thought you were so humorous, nice joke Uryuu but I don't go for it, you should search harder." He mocked, as he passed Ishida.
Ishida grabbed Keigo's shoulder immediately, stopping him. "Keigo, I was serious, I don't want you at my table this noon!"
Keigo's eyes watered. "B..But…WHY? I'm always gladly invited at your lunches!"
He lifted his glasses. "The correct sentence is you are always allowed to impose yourself at my lunches." He sighed. "Keigo, please, leave me alone for once…"
Keigo burst in tears and hugged Ishida. "Uryuuuu, what happened to our friendship, you don't like me anymore?"
A vein popped out of his head. "I tried to tell you gently, but since you didn't understand, fine! Guards! Take care of Asano, he's pissing me off!"
A bunch of guards arrived and grabbed Keigo to separate him from Ishida. "What do you want us to do with him?"
"I don't care, just make sure he doesn't bother me until tomorrow."
The guards saluted him, and Ishida walked away as they took a whining and crying Keigo away.
...
...
The dining room was in the corner of the castle. The room was high-ceilinged and the walls adjoining the outdoor were made by glass, a well as the ceiling, so you could enjoy the beautiful view of the ocean.
As Ishida arrived in the dining room he saw Nanao and Orihime. He smiled. "You are right on time for lunch!" He exclaimed. "Did everything go well?" He asked Orihime.
"Perfectly, your Highness!" Nanao answered.
"I'm glad to hear it! Tell the chief he can begin to serve us!" Nanao nodded and left, and he turned to Orihime, leading her to the table. "Come in, have a seat." He helped her sitting down and show her the view in front of her. "Nice view, isn't it, I moved the dining room there cause I love the watching the ocean." She smiled and looked at him. He blushed and, realizing their closeness, he straighted up and went to his sit. "I ordered a seafood menu, it's the speciality of my kingdom, I hope you'll like it!"
...
...
They woke up in the late morning. She couldn't stop thinking about last night,should she tell him or not? A voice interrupted her thoughts.
"So what are we doing today?"
She blinked a few times. "Huh? are you talking to me?"
Renji rolled his eyes. "No, to the bush behind you! Who do you want me to speak to? There are only the 2 of us!"
"Yeah, you're right!" She beamed.
He frowned. "You're weird…"
"Hey, don't call me weird! Just tell me what you were asking for before!"
"You're definitely weird AND swinging moods today…" He muttered. "I asked you what you planed for today?Do we keep helping Orihime or are we looking for those who wanna break them?"
"Oh, right, we have enemies, I totally forgot 'bout them!"
"Or perhaps, we should just rest today…you seem a bit off…" He muttered as he eyed her suspiciously. Something hit his head hard.
"Me, a bit off? I'm never off! See, I already know what we are doing today!" She yelled angrily.
"Which is?…."
"I trust Orihime for flirting with the guy, he's already head over heels in love with her anyway. Our first priority is to take down those bastards!"
"Yeah! Some action! Finally!"
"Hold on! We have to find them first."
He frowned. "And how?"
"Following Orihime." She simply stated.
He sighed.
"Don't complain, if they want to cause her difficulties, they must be near her!"
"Hey, I didn't complained!" He snapped.
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Pineapple…"
They walked alongside the walls of the castle, searching for an opening where they could sneak in. She went back to her thoughts. 'Guess I won't tell him, think it will pain him more than help him… Anyway, if Ichigo is there, they will eventually meet, it's more fun to let him the surprise.' She smirked. 'Ichigo is there, that's good… Wait if Ichigo is there… Rukia's there too… It will be good to see her… Could she be the one who's annoying Orihime, she's the one who bet with her after all… No, she's not the one… Rukia is a fair one…'
...
...
"Here are your starters, Your highness, the chief choose the best vegetables of the kingdom to make a "salade printanière" accompanied by its toasted slide of bread and foie gras and fig jam. Please you enjoy this meal. Do not mind call me if you need anything. Bon appetit, your Highness" The head-waiter lowly bowed and went to the back.
"Thanks, Albert!" Ishida replied courteously. He turned to Orihime and smile. "Well, let's begin!"
They started to eat. Ishida told her about his morning, then his life. She loves every bit of it. He liked the way she respond to him just by her cheering smile. She was brightening his day. After finishing the starters, there was a pause. She looked up to look outside. Her eyes widened.
...
...
"Gaaaaw!"
A vein popped out of Tatsuki's head. "Stop shouting like that! Do you want every being of this kingdom to hear you squeezing like a little girl? And how many times do I have to remind you not to stay close to the window? We have to hide, hide! Not parading like a cocky male during the mating season!" She yelled as she gripped his collar to drag him behind a bush .
"I will not respond to that you, you filthy woman…" He muttered between his teeth. "Orihime is there!"
Her head popped out of the bush as she shouted. "Orihime? Where?"
He pulled her shirt to make her sit down. He rolled his eyes. "And you're the one who tell me to be more "unnoticeable"…" He moved some branches apart and pointed to the castle. "You see pan of wall made glasses?" She nodded. "She's inside, I saw her eating, I think."
"Right, it's noon! I'm staaaaarving!"
Silence.
He blinked. "Is that all you have to say? that you're starving?"
She glared. "But really I am…Anyway…Let's go…" She added standing up.
He looked at her growing silhouette muttering. "I'm tired of your constant swing of moods… Wait…Where are we going?"
She looked at him as if he was insane. "Telling her that we're here? Why else?"
He raised an eyebrow. "And how?"
"Well, we stand in front of the windows and we wave at her."
He huffed. "Ha! Nice joke! What's the real plan now?"
She gave him a baffled look. "What are you talking about? This IS the real plan!"
He blinked for at least 5 seconds. "Are you KIDDING me?I knew you always come up with shitty plans, but this….It is far beyond all I have ever imagined…" He thought
She grabbed him and drag him behind her as she walked toward the windows. "Come on, hurry up, I' hungry, so we'd better begin to deal with this now, don't forget we have to look for our lunch right after!"
They stood right in front of the windows and she started doing big signs with her arms, wondering if her friend had seen her yet, even if it was really difficult not to notice her. He just stood beside her, his arms crossed over his chest, rolling his eyes.
...
...
Orihime gaped at what she was seeing. Tatsuki, here, but why. She glanced at Ishida, thank god he hadn't seemed to notice her sudden change of behavior. As happy she was to be with him, she had to see why her best friend was there. Was she there to tell her to back off? She frowned at the thought. She had to cleared her mind.
She begun to write something on her sketch. Hearing the sound of the pencil scratching the paper, Ishida's eyes focused on Orihime. Not that he had forgotten about her being here, no , in fact he had been gazing in the space thinking, thinking of her. "Something's wrong?" She hold the sketch so he could read what was written on. "All my apologies, but I need to go to bathroom." He read out loud. "Well, sure…I'll wait for you."He added. She quickly bowed and made her way to the outside.
...
...
"Oh, she's leaving, I think she has seen me!" Tatsuki said eagerly.
"Great! Now let's hide, quick, before someone ELSE sees us!" He ordered, as he stepped away.
"Oh, yes, you're right" She caught up with him.
...
...
"I'm not going to serve that." The head-waiter sternly said. "His highness specifically required to have some fish for lunch, I'm to ashamed to serve him…that…" He added with disdain in his voice.
Kenpachi rolled his eyes. "Not only you have a shitty job but you also have a shitty brain…" The head-waiter shrugged. Seeing it, Kenpachi grinned. "Oh, sorry, I forgot you actually had none."
The head-waiter huffed. "Whatever you say Kenpachi… Don't rely on me to serve your shit this time."
"Like I've ever relied on you, scumbag." he said as the head-waiter was leaving. He scanned the room with his eyes. He stopped them on Ichigo and smirked. "You".
The said man shuddered and looked at the chief suspiciously. "Me…"
"Go and serve his 'highness'" He emphasized on the word highness.
"I don't know…the…Art of serving high rank people." He said sarcastically, crossing his arms over his chest, thinking he got away from the task.
Kenpachi shoved him the plates. "Then learn!" He shouted. "Is there a better way of learning than learning directly on the front?" He added grinning.
Ichigo was taken back by his superior's reaction. He forcefully pushed the dishes back to his owner. "I won't do it." He said sternly, scowling.
"I don't think you have the choice, apprentice." Kenpachi put the plates full force on the counter which separated him from his subordinate making it shaking.
Ichigo was about to retort but was cut by a certain someone. "Fine chief, it's a great honor for us to fulfill this task." Rukia said bowing. She glanced at Ichigo who gave her a what-the-fuck look. She took one plate and began to walk away. "Get a move on Ichigo, we don't have all the day!" She barked. He reluctantly took the dish that left and followed her.
As soon as they were out he hissed. "Why did you do that? What if she sees us?"
She rolled her eyes. "Why not?" She told him bluntly. "What if she find about us, it's not like she can say anything, right?"
"Sure…but don't blame me if the mission fail…" He grunted.
"Did I ever blame you for doing something wrong?" She said sweetly, batting her eyelash. He rolled his eyes.
Thanks for reading, hope you liked it ^^
Yeah, Tasuki is a bit (a LOT) OOC, but I make her act like that cause she's with Renji (the girlfirend behave when she's with her boyfriend, even though Tatsuki would probably not be this type of girl...)
