A/N: Before I say anything else, I am so sorry about not updating for so long. I've just been kinda burnt out lately.
Tanya: But it's summer vacation…
Mimi: That don't mean nothing! Not for me at least because I have to go to summer school in a building that has no air conditioning.
Tanya: Wow. Tough break!
Mimi: Thank you for your support Tanya. But anyway, you won't have to wait for me to update this that much because it's almost done, but I can't say that for the sequel.
Tanya: You're writing a sequel?
Mimi: Yes ma'am! And the sequel is planned so I'm actually looking forward to the responses.
Tanya: R&R!
Who We AreThe sun came into the open window and pierced my eyelids. It hadn't even come into a full shine yet. It was only rising. I looked to my left and saw that Ichigo and Tanya were still asleep, so I didn't bother them by getting up. This made me realize that this was the earliest I had woken up since I was there, but it was the usual time I woke up when I was at home. When I was at home…
I just lay back down and tried to go back to sleep but my mind was over cluttered. I couldn't shake all of the things that had happened to me in the time that I had been here. Some of it was fun, but some of it was absolute hell. My mind flashed an image of Hueco Mundo and when Aizen almost killed me. I frowned, but still tried to sleep. I almost managed to drift off to sleep, but I was interrupted when Ichigo, somehow, rolled over. He didn't roll over completely, but just enough so that his head was on my breasts (which was still pretty uncomfortable). I tried to shake him a little but he didn't move.
"Ichigo. Ichigo!" I whispered, but he only murmured something in his sleep and stayed there. I looked down at him. He gets pretty rosy-cheeked when he's asleep, and that is a phenomena that I may never understand. I stared at his orange hair.
I've been a real bitch to him. I thought. I've gotta apologize some time soon.
He murmured something in his sleep. I didn't have the slightest idea of what it was, but I could feel my temperature because of the movement of his lips brushing past my chest.
He's gotta move! Now! I thought before I tried to push him off. I placed both of my hands under his arms and tried to move him back to his original sleeping place, but he clutched his arms around my waist.
"Come on, don't be so mean Mimi." He said in his sleep. He's dreaming about me?
I stopped trying to move him because he had a pretty tight hold on me, so I just looked at his orange hair once again. I lifted my hand up and slowly moved it toward his head until it was in his hair. It was a lot softer than what it looked like. I always had a hair problem; I loved playing in whoever's hair I could get my hands on. It helped avert me from biting my fingernails because, incidentally, I have bad nerves.
"Mimi, how did you two get like that?" Tanya asked from her side of the bed. I hunched my shoulders.
"To be honest, I don't know." I said. I just closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep, which actually did happen for about 15 minutes. Then the alarm clock rang. Ichigo slowly opened his eyes and realized where he was laying.
"HOLY CRAP!" he yelled as he got up. He moved so fast that he almost knocked Tanya off the bed.
"Myesha, I-I-I…" he stuttered. I just got out of bed and turned off the alarm clock.
"It's cool." I said calmly. "I kick and push when I'm asleep." I picked up the small digital clock and looked at it. 7:30 a.m. Aug 6.
"IT'S AUGUST THE SIXTH?" I screamed hysterically.
"Yeah. Why?" Ichigo asked.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHY?'" I yelled once again before slumping into his chair. "I missed my brothers' birthdays…" I said sadly.
"That's right," Tanya said as she stood up. "Didn't your baby brother turn one?"
"Yeah, and Derrick turned 18." I stated with my head down.
"Now that you think about it, everyone's probably worried sick about us." Tanya said. I looked up.
"Dammit that's right!" I yelled. It took me until then to realize that we had been gone for about a month and hadn't contacted our families at all. "Tanya, give me some electricity to charge my phone."
When I said that, Tanya grabbed my phone that had been dead for so long that it didn't make any sense. She placed her fingertip on the charger jack and in about three seconds the phone lit up and said "Charging Complete".
"Damn that was fast." I said as I took my phone and scrolled through the contacts. I went to the number that said 'Mom', took a deep breath and dialed the number.
"We're sorry, but your phone is out of the service area."
"Fuck." I said before placing the phone back on Ichigo's desk.
"What happened?" Tanya asked me with concern laced in her voice. I cracked a smile.
"Out of the service area." I said quietly. Tears reached over the brims of my eyes and streamed down my round cheeks. Tanya came to me and wrapped her arms around me and I could hear her sobbing a little. We sat there for almost a minute, just crying. We let our own selfish otaku content get the better of us. We hadn't even remembered that we had families at home who probably cried countless hours for us while we were giggling and having fun. It made me feel so guilty, but crying wouldn't fix it. I stopped and let go of Tanya.
"Come on, we have to get ready for school." I said as I wiped my tear stained face. "Crying won't fix it." Tanya nodded in agreement and wiped her own face as well. We then looked over to Ichigo who sat there looking concerned.
"Ichigo, can we go see Urahara after school?" I asked him. "Maybe he can figure out how we can get back home, or if not that at least contact our families."
"Sure." He said. That one word made me feel like the happiest person in the world, but it's not like he was going to say no.
"But at any rate we have to start getting ready or we'll be late for school."
School seemed like it took forever to end. It made me realize that school started in a month back at home and all of those people who I would actually call friends would probably think that I had transferred. Not that it would matter to most; I was like a ghost there. People still tell me "You go here? I've never seen you before." And the people who do know me classify me as a bipolar psychopath, which isn't really insulting to me at all. As a matter of fact I took it as a compliment, but I digress. We are on our way to see Urahara now. When we made it to his shop, he greeted us with his usual smile nad asked how could he help us.
"We need a way to get home or at least contact our families." Tanya said. His grin grew larger.
"I knew you would say that. In fact, I've already started experiments for communication systems." He said. My eyes lit up with joy.
"Well, does it work?" I asked anxiously.
"No." he said simply. My smile fell immediately, but he explained the problem.
"The device that I've made is almost like a radio. I tune into the right frequency and I'm able to communicate, but it's not that easy," he began. "I have to find the right frequency for your world, and even after that I have to tune into a second frequency that is very specific to reach your parents."
"I see." I said with my head down.
"Don't worry!" he said as he placed a hand on our shoulders. "As soon as it's fully functional I'll let you two know, okay?" I nodded my head slowly.
"Here, take these." He said, handing us two bags full of candy. I looked at the candy and looked at him.
"I'm not a kid," I said angrily. Still, I smiled, "but thanks."
Third PersonThe two girls marched out of the shop sadly with their escort. Not long after they left, Yoruichi came out of the back in cat form.
"How long do they have to stay?" she asked out of concern for the girls. Urahara sighed.
"According to orders, they will be leaving in thirty minutes." Urahara replied. "He said thirty minutes after they requested to go to their homes or speak to their families in any way, shape, or form then they will be returning."
"Well, that should be a relief for them." Yoruichi said. "The girls and Ichigo."
"So true." He said. "I'm kinda gonna miss them though."
"Creep." Yoruichi said with a grin on her face.
"You know you'll miss them too!" he retorted.
"Yeah, I will…"
Mimi's P.O.V.
"You two okay?" Ichigo asked as we approached his house. We hadn't breathed a word during the walk.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said.
"Me too." Tanya agreed. We walked into the house and, like always, Isshin dropkicked Ichigo in the face. I didn't feel like laughing. I just kept on walking to Ichigo's room without saying a word. Tanya stopped to say "Good evening Mr. Isshin." before following.
"Are you happy son!" Isshin said like an epic retard. "You made your lady friends upset!"
"SHUT UP!" Ichigo yelled before finishing their daily fight and coming to the room with us. I fell on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, but after ten seconds I spoke.
"Ichigo, let me tell you something." I began. "My name is Myesha Rashera Carson. I'm from Chicago Illinois, and I love my family. I love them to death." I paused before I spoke again.
"I have three older brothers and one baby brother. I'm the only girl. A lot of people would tell me that my baby brother doesn't count because he's actually my stepbrother, but I've grown to love him like a real one.
"I have a niece and nephew." I said before chuckling. "They hate me. It's strange because I remember before my nephew could walk I was his favorite person. He would smile whenever I entered the room and cry whenever I would leave.
"I'm a tomboy, but that's not a problem. That's just who I am." I sighed.
"Well, since we're having closure, I guess I'll speak too!" Tanya said before giggling.
"Shut up!" I said before hitting her with a pillow.
"Anyway, I'm Tatiana Elizabeth Jenkins. I have four brothers and one sister. I have three nephews and one niece, who hates Mimi, by the way." We both giggled.
"But I guess from the way Mimi described her niece she would probably hate me too."
"Damn skippy." I said before she continued.
"I've been a pretty quiet person for all of my life. Mimi and I met when I was in second grade. She said that she skipped seventh grade so we could graduate together. To think, she was willing to go through all of those people who picked on her for being smart, for me. She's the best friend I've ever had." I smiled.
"Thanks." I said while smiling.
"But anyway, that's who I am." She concluded.
"And that's who I am." I said. Tanya fell back on the bed. We both closed our eyes.
That's who we are…"Young ladies. Excuse me!" said a woman while shaking our shoulders. I opened my eyes.
"HOOO SHIT!" I yelled when I opened my eyes. "How the hell d- OW! FUCK!" I yelled as I hit my head on a rather low ceiling. It took me about 5 seconds to register where I was, which was on a metra train.
"How in the blue he- Mmmhmmn." Tanya placed her hand over my mouth, I'm guessing so I wouldn't curse any more.
"I'm sorry ma'am. Is there a problem?" she asked. Her voice was a little shaky, but she still spoke.
"Your stop is coming up." The conductor said calmly. She shot me a dirty look before walking away, but I flipped her off.
"Just play it cool." Tanya said as we approached the train doors. After we got off and the doors closed, I flipped out.
"HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET HERE!" I screamed. The trauma of getting back home was so great I almost threw up. Sure being home was great, but it just scared me how one second we were laying on Ichigo's bed wearing school uniforms and the next we were on a train in our street clothes. I also took note of how I had my purse with me as well. I went through it and everything was there. My iPod, my money, my switchblade, everything except for my phone.
"Well, what do we do now?" Tanya asked. I just hunched my shoulders.
"I have no idea, but we should go straight home first!" I said.
"Yeah!" Tanya agreed before we went in our different directions.
"I'll call you!" I said as I ran off into the sunset to my home.
I can't believe it. I'm going home…
