Okay, this was totally not my idea. This is what really happened.
"Hey Haya we were thinking of a beach party to, you relax and take a break!" said Rangiku out of the blue. I has been a month since I left Squad 4 because of the 'Nishimura incident.' So far, Captain Hitsugaya has been giving it easy to me. But I think he just pity me, maybe the Captain of Squad 10 does have a heart.
"I don't know. Are you sure Captain Hitsugaya will be fine with it?" I asked while scratching behind my ear.
"Oh I invited him so he gets a break too. I sent an invitation for everyone from rankings of third seat and above" explained Rangiku. She walked over to the Captain's desk and opened a cabinet. Reaching inside, she grabbed a bottle of sake.
"Wanna cup?" asked Rangiku as she took a cup off the desk and poured herself a cup full of sake.
"No I'm underaged. Plus Father wouldn't approve of it, he says that it would tarnish the Kuchiki name if I drank" I shook my head and waved both of my hands to make it clear that I didn't want any.
"Okay you're missing out, oh have you bought a bathing suit yet?" asked Rangiku and this is the moment where I dreaded.
Back to reality, I'm in the world of the living with Yugana and Rukia at a bathing suit stor that Yuzu suggested. She said the store had really cute bathing suits.
Inside was pretty neat and well, summer themed. There was one section of the store that was for bathing suite, another for towels, accessories and flip flops. Father gave me some change to spend for the stuff.
Looking at all the bathing suits, Yuzu wasn't wrong when she said the bathing suits were cute. There was a whole bunch of them to choose from. Though I thought some of it was a bit too revealing.
"Hey Haya what do you think of this one?" asked Yugana as she pulled up a bathing suit. It was a nice bright blue one piece. The back was open except for some zigzags covering it up a bit. Simple if you ask me.
Meanwhile Rukia just came out of the changing room with her bathing suit. It was a strapless red bikini with white polka dots.
"What do you think? Cute am I right" said Rukia as she flashed a victory sign. Sometimes I wonder if my aunt is the same age as me.
"Aww you look so cute Rukia! What do you think of this one" and just like that Yugana and Rukia were chatting away.
I looked at the rack of bathing suits. Some of them are too sparkly while others are revealing. In the end, I picked up a nice white bikini that is tied around the neck. (The bathing suit looks like Ty Lee's from The Last Airbender)
We bought our bathing suit and head towards the beach. There was a change room there so we changed over there. Father rented the whole beach so there won't be any humans to disturb us. Well, with the exception of Ichigo and his sisters, Orihime, Uryu and Chad.
There was a long table that was filled with fruits, pastries, chips and fruit punch. And over to the right was a big box of toys that we could use like beach balls, skipping ropes, a soccer ball, a net and a surf board. I believe it belongs to Yuzu and Karin because their names were written in big letters on the box.
"Wow there's a lot of people here" I said.
"Yes, we took the opportunity to invite as many as we can. Unfortunately Captain Kurotsuchi and Urahara was unable to make it. Oh and Captain Hitsugaya said he was coming around the evening where it's cooler" said Captain Unohana. How did she get there I don't know but I was really startled.
"ALRIGHT WHO WANTS TO PLAY SOCCER?!" yelled Karin and a number of people including me decided to play. In total there were ten people who wanted to play, less than an actual team.
The people who decided to play was me, Ichigo, Rukia, Ikakku, Yugana, Nemu, Orihime, Chad, Karin and Captain Komamura.
"We'll have two team captains. Who ever doesn't get first pick get first ball" explain Karin as she also picked two people to be the captains.
"For team one it'll be me, Haya, Ichigo, Captain Komamura and Nemu. Team two will be Rukia, Yugana, Orihime, Chad and Ikakku. Got it" announced Karin. We then went in a little huddle to discuss positions. For goalie it is Captain Komamura, defense is me and Nemu and the mid-fielders/forward will be Karin and Ichigo.
Yachiru was chosen to be the referee so just like that we started the game. We played till the evening when we were all called for dinner.
"Wow! There is so much food!" said Yachiru as a line of drool came from her mouth. Captain Zaraki had to hold her back so she doesn't eat all the food before everyone else does. There was pizza, fried rice and rice cake on the table and boy did it look tasty. We all ate until we couldn't eat anymore. Some went and took it further and drank sake too like Captain Kyoraku and Rangiku. Captain Hitsugaya made it just in time for the meal.
Once everyone was done eating we all decided to have various competitions.
"Okay there'll be three total competitons. Right now form a group of four first" said Nanao. I grouped up with Yugana, Father and Momo.
"The first competiton will be a relay race where everyone has to run 100 metres before handing over the baton to the next person. Drop the baton and your team is out!" announced Nanao. We decided to have Yugana start us off, then Momo, and after that Father and to end it off it'll be me.
"On your marks, get set, GO!" and boom the starters all ran. In first place was Yoruichi and in dead last Omaeda.
"Come on, come on" I muttered as Momo ran. We were in fifth place. When Father got it, he boosted us up into fourth place and when I got it, I ran as fast and hard as I can. In the end we got third place but it's too bad. First place was Yoruichi's team but I only think that they won because of her and Captain Soi-Fon.
"Next is the treasure hunt. There are ten action figures hidden in this beach before the competition started. First team to find one wins!" yelled Nanao as she and Isane handed out the maps. In no time we found the action figures and came in first place. Well technically second but Kenpachi's team cheated so they're disqualified.
"Last but not least, the last competition will be a sand castle competition! The team that has the best sand castle wins! The judge will be Captain Unohana, Ukitake, Head Captain Yamamoto, Captain Hitsugaya and Kyoraku. Good luck!" yelled Nanao as she ran to make her own sand castle with Isane, Kiyone and Kentaro.
For my team we built a typical sand castle nothing too fancy. But when I glance over to Ichigo's team, they were building a freaking mansion!
"Time's up time to judge!" said the Head Captain. He looked at all the castles and a small meeting broke out from all of the captains.
"In first place is Ichigo's team" announced Captain Ukitake as Ichigo's team of him, Uryu, Chad and Orihime broke out in cheers.
"In second place is Ikakku's team" announced Captain Hitsugaya.
"And in third place, Captain's Kuchiki's team!" announced Captain Kyoraku who was clearly drunk.
"Third place in a sand castle competition isn't too back don't you think guys" said Yugana.
"Well it's certainly better than last place. Speaking of, is there any prizes?" asked Momo.
"I don't know but guys, this was really fun!" I said. Then I remember something.
"Well after today it's be back to the regular work days I guess" I sighed and everyone except for Father sighed with me.
To close off the day, we watched fireworks that lit up the dark sky.
School is out next week! During the summer I'll update twice a week. It'll be Saturday and Wednesday! New chapter ideas are welcomed. Oh and one more thing, I'm accepting a Beta Reader to Beta read this story. Tell me if you're up to it! See ya next time!
