Chapter 2: Like I'm gonna fall for--
After skipping most of Ichigo's morning classes to defeat two low level hollows, Ichigo was on the roof eating lunch with his friends, while, Rukia was once again welcomed to sit with the girls of the class. Mizuro took a sip of his juice before commenting on the new upperclassman girl who transferred in from America.
"Yeah! I hear she's really pretty, but buff."
"Buff?"
"Yeah!"
Mizuro put a hand on Chad's shouder,
"Like Chad here, he might be the only one to handle her, eh?"
Chad kept silent and Ichigo raised a brow,
"You realize, that if she's so buff, she's probably not... into guys."
Mizuro blanked for a minute and then grabbed his juice,
"Like I care, I'm not into the muscle-y type."
(Tiny bubble over Ichigo's head, "Muscle-y?"
Chizuru was smiling as she ate her lunch, Orihime looked closely,
"You look really happy today, Chizuru. Did something good happen?"
Chizuru smiled at Orihime, and little shiny sparkles shined around her face,
"You mean someone?" Ooh, Orihime, I love your innocence, but brute muscles make me all the more excited."
The girls raised their eyebrows and stared at Chizuru, while Orihime poked the sparkles around her face, 'How'd she do that?'. Tatsuki grabbed Orihime by the top of her head, and moved her away from Chizuru,
"What ARE you talking about?"
Chizuru smiled,
"This new girl transferred here from America, oh, she's got muscles, she speaks perfect Japanese, and she's going the karate team..."
"WHAT? LIKE AN AMERICAN CAN TOP ME!"
Tatsuki stood up and huffed off, Orihime following her. Rukia stood up and brushed off her skirt calmly before walking into the school, she knew that there were only few young, muscled, American girls who can speak Japanese.
Morana Aiastes, knew they were talking about her, knew they were looking at her, knew that the news of her would be all over the school after lunch, knew the whispers when she walked by,
"Look, that's the American..."
"Wow, she's got so much muscle."
"Ew, she's on steriods."
"That's so unattractive on a girl."
She knew it, she also knew she didn't care, she just came here to find one girl. But...
All the strong psychic auras! She could hardly tell them apart, they all clouded her senses, following the strongest trace of power she made her way up the stairs to the roof. Keeping her eyes down on the stairs and concentrating on the psychic aura she didn't hear the extra footsteps getting louder and closer.
Chad trudged down the stairs, his hands in his pockets, and zoning out on the stairs, until he heard the click of heels on tile and a girl in the school uniform, maybe a head shorter the himself, ran into his chest knocking herself back on to her bottom. She cursed in English, and he stared, she was... pretty... she had soft, wide, sad green eyes, long dark brown hair reaching mid back where she tied it back, and... she had muscles. She groaned and rubbed her head, looking up she smiled sheepishly,
"I'm sorry..."
Her voice was almost like a whisper, Chad held out his hand to help her up, she took his hand and stood up, brushing herself off,
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something, I didn't hurt you did I? No, of course not, I'm rambling aren't I? Uhm, I-I'll just be going.."
She put her hand to her forehead and made her way around him muttering under her breath in English. Once she was up a few steps Chad regained his senses,
"Oh, uh, Why are you going up there?"
She turned and smiled,
"Looking for someone."
"Oh."
"Hey... What's your name?"
"... Yatsutora Chad..."
She smiled,
"I'm Aiastes Morara, nice meeting you, Yatsutora."
Then she turned the corner and with a flick of her skirt she was gone. Chad stared up the stairs for a minute before walking back down the stairs, the only people up there were Ichigo and Rukia, and how would she know either of them?
Rukia turned to look at Ichigo,
"All I'm saying is that she's going to be looking for me. I need to be with you until she finds me."
"Why me?"
She sighed crossed her arms,
"Because, many people here have high psychic auras, your's is the strongest, so, she's going to follow the strongest aura, thinking it's me."
"But-"
"ICHIGO!"
"Okay! Okay..."
Ichigo slumped down and leaned his head back on the railing, he shut his eyes to block out the sight of Rukia in her uniform looking out over the school grounds, the wind making her hair fly back... Rukia looked over and saw the look of distain on Ichigo's face, and sat next to him,
"Are you okay, Ichigo? You look, ti--..."
'Ichigo? Tired? Exhausted? Worn out? He doesn't do that...'
"... depressed."
He cracked his eyes open to look at her, then shut them again,
"It's nothing."
She scooted closer to him,
"Come on, tell me."
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"I won't make you go out and fight hollows for one night."
"Tempting, but no."
"What do I have to do to get you to tell me?"
When he didn't respond, Rukia grabbed his shoulder and turned him to face her, his eyes opened and looked into her own, brown locking with blue.
"I--.."
Ichigo moved closer and grabbed her hand off his shoulder, then,
"Oh, gosh, um, sorry..."
Ichigo and Rukia turned towards the sound, it was a tall muscular girl with long brown hair, blushing and facing the other direction,
"I'm sooo sorry, I just, uh..."
Rukia and Ichigo blushed, Ichigo dropped her hand and turned away from the two, Rukia, still flustered, stood up and walked to the girl,
"Uh, it's okay."
She turned around and Rukia smiled into those familar green eyes,
"Morana, it's good to see you again."
Morana(Death in Slavic) Aiastes(Mourner in Greek), oh yeah, hidden meanings, bitch.
