Ranbu no Merodi
Shizuka ni shizuka ni maku wa kiri otoshi
Kakusei no yoake ni aoi honoo
And the rock that blares to life was just one of awesomeness. In a short description: Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki were rock stars and ever since Ichigo's life was changed after getting Soul Reaper powers and Rukia a fugitive of Soul Society for abandoning her post, they have lived together. Keeping a low profile as well as plotting the destruction of a corrupt individual in the afterlife named Sōsuke Aizen, for now they just continued life as if nothing happens...
Miwatasu kagiri no yami to kattou tesaguri no hibi
Bokura wa make wo shiranai yowasa wo dakishime aruita
Atarashii kiba de jidai wo kizame
Shizuka ni shizuka ni maku wa kiri otoshi
Kakusei no yoake ni aoi honoo
"Mamoritai anata" ni deaeru sono hi made wa
Yuushuu no bi yori me no mae no teki wo
The school was having a fun time with this school festival and Ichigo and company have thought of doing entertainment for everybody, thus the song being played and Ichigo as the vocal of the lyrics, Rukia doing real awesome on a guitar, backups with Uryū, Orihime, Urahara on drums, and Yoruichi as secondary back-up.
Kokoro nai kotoba hokosaki subete wo nomikomi aruita
Tsukareta fushin wa jishin ni neji mage
Kurushikute nigetakute ma ga sashita mirai wa
Yume egaita bokura to tooi tokoro de
Jikan nante yoso nante kechirashite hohoenda
Ano koro nani mo kowaku nakattaro?
The author would like to take this time to state that he does not own the lyrics or the song Ranbu no Merodi by SID. This song just came to me in an odd plot bunny birth. :P
Shizuka ni shizuka ni maku wa kiri otoshi
Kakusei no yoake ni aoi honoo
"Mamoritai anata" ni deaeru sono hi made wa
Yuushuu no bi yori me no mae no teki wo
Itoshikute itoshikute hoka ni wa nani mo nakute
Koko kara miwatashita keshiki zenbu
Matomete tsureteitte ageru sa hanasanai de
Zutto nari yamanu ranbu no merodi
The entire audience of the school cheers loudly for the awesome rock performance. Ichigo looks to Rukia, who had a huge smile on her face. She was used to living as a human for the past year. The group decides to take a break from the playing as Rukia drags Ichigo off somewhere. Urahara just smiles at the two disappearing into the crowds before putting his hat back on.
"I wonder where Rukia's taking Ichigo," Yoruichi comments out loud, a mischievous smile on her face.
"It's probably not what you may be thinking, kitty cat," Urahara tells the woman.
Yoruichi laughs softly, following the man back to his booth to sell more of his (non Soul Reaper-based items) candies to the ryoka. All of them were unaware of Soul Society having sent cameras into the World of the Living. They had been searching for the missing Rukia Kuchiki for a year until they finally got a lucky break. They had just seen the rock performance at the school, and have seen the missing Rukia hanging out with another of Soul Society's fugitives.
"I never thought these would taste so good," Rukia told Ichigo.
Between them they were sharing a unique food item called Pepperoni Pizza Puffs. And yes, they DO taste as good as it sounds.
Ichigo chuckles in amusement. "Yeah, they are good, huh?"
Rukia just smiles back. "To think... a year ago I was just a complete stranger in your life."
"Until I surprised you when I showed up at Urahara's place..."
Ichigo had been a Soul Reaper longer before meeting Rukia; however he fully did not grasp his powers until finally meeting Rukia. He had known half of what was going on, and this evil man named Aizen who wanted to become a god. A full year of training and the two have gotten close. It helps when Ichigo is not the only one with an Inner Hollow (although today Shiro no longer tries to take control of his host's body; only more interested in Dark Rukia who enjoys playing hard to get).
On the tallest point of the school's lot, Ulquiorra stands there, his spiritual pressure completely masked. He was vigilantly eyeing Ichigo and Rukia, both whom were just staying real close to one another. Or rather, Ichigo had his arms fully wrapped around Rukia who was content with leaning into his embrace.
"So... that must be Ichigo Kurosaki," the Cuatro Espada whispers to himself.
Currently he was not impressed. But he knew looks can be deceiving. His hand shoots out and grabs something invisible before clenching his hand tight. A puff of smoke explodes from his hand as an illusion of sorts vanished, revealing a crushed metal sphere with a camera lens sticking out on one side. In Soul Society, the captains and head captain see nothing but a snowy haze on the large monitor in the meeting hall.
If you squint hard, you can see a hint of IchiRuki shipping...
