"Hey, hey, pass another marshmallow over here!" Mizuiro yelled to Orihime who was holding the bag of marshmallows in her hands. She nodded happily with a smile and passed over the bag, making sure it wouldn't fall in the snow.
"Thanks," he said as he pierced the marshmallow with his stick, holding it into the fire. Ichigo sighed, looking at his group of friends that surrounded the fire. He grabbed another marshmallow.
"Whose great idea was it to have a camp out after a freakin' snow storm?" Ichigo muttered as he blew out his marshmallow, which was on fire. He looked over to the confused Rukia who was across the fire. She was attempting to stick the marshmallow on her stick, determination showed in her violet eyes, their color magnified by the burning fire.
Ichigo sighed. He got up and walked over, taking the empty seat in between Rukia and Tatsuki. He snatched the marshmallow and the stick out of her hands.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?! You better not eat that!" Rukia yelled, slightly confused with Ichigo's actions.
"That's not how you do it, idiot," Ichigo said, sticking the marshmallow on the stick, he handed it back to her. Rukia looked at the stick. She took it off the stick and stuck the marshmallow in her mouth.
"Okay…what's the point of putting the mar-mallow on the stick? Can't you just eat it with your hands?" Rukia said looking the stick over again. Ichigo took the stick from her again.
"Oh, it's alright Ichigo, I know how to do it now," Rukia said confidently, putting her hand out, hoping to receive the stick once more. Instead, Ichigo put the marshmallow in the fire. Rukia almost screamed.
"What are you doing, baka?! You'll burn it!! she yelled, grabbing Ichigo's arms. He sighed again and pushed her away.
"Just watch!"
After a few minutes, the marshmallow was brown and crisp. He handed the stick to Rukia. Rukia stared at the marshmallow, finally putting it into her mouth. Her expression brightened each time her jaw moved up and down, chewing the marshmallow.
"This is delicious! Thanks Ichigo!" she said as she stood up from the fire and walked over to the rest of her friends who were making a snowman. Ichigo got up and followed her. The two were met by Orihime, Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, Chad and Uryu. Keigo got up from his spot.
"You can sit next to me if you please, Rukia-Chan?" he said with sparkles in his eyes. Rukia began to put on her act.
"Why, thank you, Asano-kun," she responded, blushing slightly as she sat down. Keigo went to sit next to her but was punched in the face by Ichigo. Keigo flew a couple yards. He landed in darkness.
"HEY!! Ichigo!! Don't be a meanie!! Keigo whined from far away. No one heard him. "Fine! I'll just get my revenge!" he said as he scooped up a ball of snow in his hands. He snuck up behind Ichigo…he was only a few yards away and….
SPLAT!
"WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL?? Ichigo screamed as he turned around to see Keigo with a victorious grin on his face. "YOU'RE A DEAD MAN, DAMN IT!"
Ichigo picked up some snow in his hand and chased him around the park, the distant fire their only light.
"How 'bout we have a snowball fight?" Orihime suggested, clasping her hands together.
Everyone nodded happily in agreement as they tried to gather up Ichigo and Keigo. When they came back to the fire, Ichigo arrived with his usual scowl while Keigo had a black eye and a bloody nose. Ichigo noticed Rukia trying to hold in her laughter. He smiled.
"Alright! Let's make teams," Tatsuki yelled, sounding like their P.E teacher. "Okay, um, me and Orihime, Chad and Uryu, Keigo and…Mizuiro, and Ichigo and Rukia. Got it, get it, good!" she finished with a smile on her face. "The team that gets hit the least wins. Let's go!"
And with that, the teams ran away and the fight began.
"Alright, Rukia, try not to get hit, would'dya?" Ichigo said him and his partner back to back, both holding snowballs.
"Relax Ichigo, I remember the first time we did this at the park," she reassured him, getting into her game mode. "We have the advantage here, even if we can't see them, we can feel their reitsu and throw accordingly," Rukia added as she shifted her weight and began to explain her strategy.
"Will this work, Tatsuki?" Orihime asked, patting more snow on their fort.
"Of course, we both hide behind. You make the snowballs; pass them to me and I throw. I do have the best aim in our grade," Tatsuki said with a cocky grin. Orihime smiled.
"Whatever you think will work, Tatsuki!"
"So, what do we do, Uryu?" Chad asked quietly, making sure Ishida could think. He smiled as an idea popped into his mind.
"We'll hide in the bushes near the fire so when people come over because they can't see, we'll attack. The fire also gives us a better range of sight so we can see people from far away and attack from long distance," he finished, pushing up his glasses.
"All right, let's get moving."
"What do we do now? We're stuck in the dark in the middle of no where and we can't ask anyone for help 'cause they'll just attack us!" Keigo whined, tears rolling down his face.
"Well, we should at least try to win, right?" Mizuiro said, making an effort to be positive.
"Aw, how are we supposed to win?! Ichigo will cream me!" Keigo whined again, plopping down into the snow.
"Well, how about we try to get the weakest group?! Mizuiro suggested.
"Orihime and Tatsuki!" the two boys said in unison.
"Well, first let's get to the fire so we can get a game plan going."
"All right."
With each team preparing for battle, Mizuiro and Keigo begin to walk to the glowing fire in the middle of the park, unknown to them that the other three teams will be waiting for them, ready to attack.
I really like the snowball fights cause you can really get creative with them. I guess you can say this is a continuation od SnowBalls and SnowAngels...I guess I'm making my own SnowBall chronicles! Any chapter that has SnowBall in it is a continuation of the last SnowBall. That way its fun and confusing at the same time! Ichigo and Rukia are on the same team... Oo-La-La!
WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD WIN? LET ME KNOW!!
