Anku: Wooooohoooo! Damn! I feel like celebrating because... we are past the 10th chapter! That was my goal and I did it!
Toushiro: * rolls eyes*
Ichigo: Hey, how many more chapters do we have exactly?
Anku: You know what...I've decided to make it 15 chapters at least since I still have more ideas and probably an epilogue. Oh no that's means I gotta type even more!
Ichigo: Yay! Sorry to those who are expecting a...lemon. I was too but she isn't really...ready for that despite the rating so we'll have to change it to a T. Maybe on the sequel? And also, you had better get those poll results in. She really needs to do something else than bother me and Toushiro all day because of having no friends!
Anku: Ehehe. Yah. No friends...Anyways enjoy! ^^*
...
Toushiro leaned against the wall with her arms crossed. She made sure to go over her plan carefully. Ichigo needed to know, despite how useless he may look. But those strong arms don't!-
Ah! Shut up...
Forcing her face to keep from burning up, she sighed and looked out.
" We need to leave and go somewhere else more private."
" Fine with me. I dunno how Ichigo can stand such a boring school like this." Renji agreed with Ikkaku. Oh the days at the academy...
" W-wait up! I have school and lunch hasn't even started yet!" Ichigo complained while everyone else made their way to the edge to jump.
" Don't worry Ichigo. I said I'd cover it." Matsumoto waved off before jumping down along with the rest. The boy gasped in shock and ran to the edge before looking down, desperately searching for the bodies. Only to discover everyone is busy dusting themselves off and making their ways towards the school gates.
" Hey wait! Ugh." Making sure no one was watching, he climbed down as well and ran to catch up with everyone. " Huff. Alright where to?"
Toushiro knew she couldn't bring everyone to Kurosaki's house since his family was most likely to be there. Or, one of them, and they would be wondering why he isnt at school. They could go to a cafe or somewhere but they needed a change of clothes so no one could mistaken them for school students.
" Let's go to the clothes store first. Kurosaki's paying." She said and everyone agreed almost immediately. Well, not everyone since Ichigo was the one who was going to pay more than his whole allowance.
" Ch. Hey, Toushiro." The girl looked back and motioned for everyone to keep owing while staying behind.
" What do you want?" She muttered. Ichigo just brushed that off leaned slightly down with a smug look.
" That's twice you owe me now." Toushiro forced herself to keep from having her face flush from the sudden handsomeness and looked to the side.
" So what? What do want so badly?" Already having his answers down, Ichigo shrugged his shoulders.
" First, a date- Whether you like it or not." He added when he saw the sudden look of irritation on the pretty face.
" And second..." Ichigo leaned down and quickly gave a light kiss on the girl's cheek before running off with a big smile.
Toushiro's face flushed red completely as a small hand went up to trace the spot of the sudden skin contact.
Did he just...
Ichigo looked back and laughed when he saw her turn around with and embarrassed look before scowling.
" KUORSAKI!"
...
" Ne ne captain, what do you think?" Matsumoto asked as she twirled around, her knee-long white skirt swirling along with the motion.
" It's good. But Make sure it doesn't cost a lot for Kurosaki. He's the one paying after all." Toushiro waved off until she realized who she was talking to.
" Eh! Captain you really do care for him!" Matsumoto gasped with a fake shocked expression.
" I-I do not!" Toushiro protested until Ichigo swung by and looked at her, which instantly back fired.
" Huh?"
" I-I mean I do! I mean sometimes- no! I-It's..." The woman just laughed at the girl's stuttering while Ichigo just smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder, in which Toushiro looked up but regretted it when she looked at the winning smile,
" Hey it's fine. Just doing a little favor right? Helps a lot, thanks." He said sincerely and walked off to see the other lieutenants but turned around long enough to say," Oh and make sure you return my jacket later on Kay?"
Toushiro just nodded timidly and continued staring at the direction the boy had just left until Matsumoto had to block her plain of vision to catch her attention.
" Wh-what?" She asked, slightly dazed.
" Why are you wearing Ichigo's sweater anyways? It's almost 80 degrees out here.." The vice-captain watched the other instantly blush (again) and turn away.
" I-I was a little cold okay?" Matsumoto didn't buy it and faced her again.
" But you know about your heat problems and it is no where near cold to mistaken the heat for it. come on just tell me and I won't tell anyone about it." The captain gave a look of uncertainty but exhaled.
She might as well. The woman is more annoying than she looks anyways.
" I was sexually assaulted. The end." Woops. Matsumoto kind-hearted face immediately switched to a dark, cold-blooded expression. " What?" She growled. Toushiro waved her hands.
" I-I wasn't hurt or anything no! My shirt just go ripped a-and Kurosaki delt with them. I'm fine so..."
" Ooooh okay. Your knight in shining armor came to rescue is snow princess eh?" ( Credit goes to Cortiarte Apa Lagranges for that idea. You are awesome man!)
" Shut up."
" Haha yes ma'am!"
...
" Alright is everyone situated?" After the shinigami team found clothes that did not attract a crowd, Ichigo paid for them and was surprised that he had to pay only 3/4 of his allowance.
" Yup!" Matsumoto happily answered for everyone.
" Good. I found a cafe we could all go to." The captain began to lead everyone to their destination, secretly thanking Kurosaki for all the trouble he went through just to help them out.
Actually, that cafe does look like an ideal place for a date-Urg! Why is she getting excited over it!? It's just a dumb date! No...not even a date!
" Hey captain! Can I say something?"
" What is it Matsumoto?"
" I like your outfit! It's really cute!"
" ...Sh-shut up."
Once, everyone entered the cafe, they seated themselves in a booth with Toushiro next to window, followed by Matsumoto, who quickly got in front of everyone, and Ikkaku and on the opposite side, Ichigo, Renji, and Yumichika . The restaurant was a little deserted so that helped them keep away from straining ears.
" Okay, now that you know everything you needed to far, we just need to patrol the area for about a week. The head captain mentioned that Aizen is planning to attack here today, or tomorrow so we needed to be a little a head of time." Toushiro summarized orderly.
Ichigo nodded with a strained look. It was that bad huh? Well, at least as long as Toushiro is here he live his days while they last- what the hell is he thinking?
"Alright then. Hey you mentioned that you all are staying here for a week right?" Toushiro nodded with a raised eyebrow.
" Why?"
Ichigo smirked.
" No reason." Toushiro scowled as her need to hear what he had to say heightened. Stupid Kurosaki.
" Well if there is no more to say, I'll be going now." She said as she hopped out the booth.
" Captain!"
" You all have cellphones! Use them!"
Ichigo and the other's watched the captain take off before standing too.
" I had better get home too. Since I won't be able to go back to school now like this. Rangiku-San you said you got that right?"
Matsumoto sweated and just dismissed it.
" Y-yeah of course."
...
Anku: Did anyone see the Bleach season premiere or something like that? The one when Matsumoto was shaking Toushiro by his shoulders furiously but he just kept smiling... while eyeing his meat. On the grill!
Ichigo: Aw man. That was seriously weird. But I can't deny that being sexy though.
Anku: Hehe yah. chapter contains Toushiro's and Karin's meeting and the soccer game! Gonna be a nice, long chapter so stay alert!
Also, my twentieth reviewer shall get their very own gift fic of their choice!
