I dunno how long this story is going to be. I will probably end it between 10-15 chapters. I don't like writing long stories that much... After I get past a certain point, the quality of the story begins to decline. And I hate that...
But don't worry, I'll be writing another story once this one is finished.
"So... it's like a comic..." Rukia mused as she walked slowly behind Ichigo down the sidewalk. Her hand was on her chin, and her mind was deep in thought. "But the pictures... move?"
"Yeah, something like that," Ichigo sighed. 'I've explained it five times, and she still doesn't understand the concept of movies...' he thought to himself, trying to keep his frustration under control. 'I'm sure she'll understand when we get there...'
"So how much further is it to the thetator?" Rukia asked.
"Its called a theater. And it's about 2 blocks further."
"We need to find an easier way to travel..."
"I know, but at least this is healthy..."
"What moobie did you say this was going to be?" Rukia mispronounced yet another word.
"Movie. And its some scary movie my dad thought we would like," Ichigo held up the tickets. 'Why he thought we'd like that, I do not know.'
"Scary? Why would we pay money to be scared?" Rukia raised an eyebrow.
"The same reason you read those cheesy suspense mangas," Ichigo replied. Rukia glared at him, but didn't say anything. "And because its just fun..."
"Hmph. Well, I don't see what the fun in it is. And it will take a lot to scare an experienced Soul Reaper like me!" Rukia boasted.
-----
"OHMYGOSH!!!" Rukia shrieked along with most of the audience. Popcorn flew through the air, and Rukia grabbed onto Ichigo.
'Well, I think I now know why Dad wanted us to see a scary movie..." Ichigo glanced down at Rukia, who was barely allowing him to breath. "Scared?" Ichigo grinned.
"No!" Rukia denied it, leaning back into her seat.
"Then why did you grab onto me?"
"The guy behind me kicked my seat, and I lost my balance!"
"Sure..." Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"SSSH!!!" several people around them hissed.
"Sorry," Ichigo whispered. He returned his attention back to the movie. It was about vampires forming an alliance with some aliens to take over the world, and Big Foot was mankind's last hope... or something like that. Whatever it was, it was pretty cheesy. But it was also doing a good job of scaring everyone in the theater. Every few seconds, something would happen and everyone would scream. Ichigo had a feeling it would take him days to get all the popcorn out of his hair.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" everyone screamed as Big Foot was attacked out of nowhere by a Chupacabra. Rukia wrapped her arms around Ichigo again, holding onto his neck for dear life.
"Erk! Rukia!" Ichigo gasped. She didn't hear him over the sound of her own screams, of course.
That was how most of the movie went. Every time something remotely scary happened, he found himself unable to breath. By the time the movie was over, his entire neck was one huge bruise. "That was a good movie!" Rukia chimed happily as they left the theater. "I liked it!"
"I can tell..." Ichigo replied raspily.
"Are you alright?" Rukia looked at her friend.
"Throat hurts," Ichigo pointed at his neck. There were bruises around most of it. "You have a tight grip..."
"Sorry," Rukia smiled innocently.
"Its alright... Now what were you saying about not getting scared?" Ichigo smirked.
"What do you meam?" Rukia growled.
"The tough Soul Reaper was afraid of little aliens on the big screen!" Ichigo taunted her.
"I wasn't scared!" she growled.
"You were holding onto me for dear life!"
"That guy kept knocking me out of my seat!"
"That's no excuse to go and grab onto me!"
"I didn't want to fall on that nasty floor!"
"Sure... scaredy cat."
"WHAT?!"
"Scaredy cat!"
"Grrrr... I wasn't scared! I don't get scared! Nothing can scare me!" Rukia exclaimed. "ABSOLUTELY NOTH-"
KERBLAM!!!
"Ah!" Rukia jumped, hopping closer to Ichigo. "What was that?!"
Ichigo looked around. "It sounded like a gunshot..."
KERBLAM!!! KERBLAM!!!
Rukia jumped at each noise. "You seem a bit on edge..." Ichigo noted.
"Be quiet..." she hissed. "Where is that coming from?"
KERBLAM!!!
"Wow!" a familiar voice exclaimed. "That's amazing!" Ichigo and Rukia both recognized it as Urahara's.
"I didn't know we were near his store..." Ichigo looked around.
"Me neither... I guess we got turned around somewhere..." Rukia walked over to a fance. "Give me a lift..."
"Okay..." Ichigo walked over and held out his hands. "Step up."
"No," Rukia pointed down to the sidewalk. "Get on the ground."
"What?
"Just do it!"
"Okay, okay..." Ichigo got down on his hands and knees. Rukia stepped up on top of his back. "Erk! Heels!"
"Sssh!" Rukia hissed. She peered over the top of the fence and looked around. She realized that she was looking into the backyard of Urahara's shop. (A/N: Does it have a backyard? Oh well, if it doesn't, it does now!)
"What do you see?" Ichigo grunted. The pain of Rukia's shoes digging into his spine was driving him crazy.
"Um..." Rukia didn't know what to say. Urahara and H were standing next to each other by the shop. Somebody had set up several cardboard and wooden targets made to look like Hollows. Most of them were missing their heads. Rukia also noticed the large smoking pistol H was holding. "I think he's showing off that gun of his..."
"What did you say the name of that gun was?" Urahara stared at the weapon.
"The Broken Butterfly," H grinned. He then aimed at another target. Rukai gasped. It was right in front of the fence.
"GET DOWN!!!" she dove off of Ichigo and laid down on the sidewalk.
"Huh?" Ichigo raised his head up a bit. "What?"
KERBLAM!!!
A large section of fence just above Ichigo's head exploded. "GYA!!!" Ichigo sprawled backwards, trying to get away from the cloud of wood, smoke, and splinters. "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?!"
"Hm?" H stuck his head through the hole in the fence. "ICHIGO?! RUKIA?! I'M SO SORRY!!!"
"You friggin' psycho!" Ichigo yelled. "You tried to kill us! You should be more careful!"
"And you shouldn't spy on people," Urahara's voice crooned.
"Errr..." Ichigo didn't have a comeback for that.
"What are you doing?" Rukia stood up and dusted herself off.
"Showing off my gun," H spun the revolver around in his hand.
"He wasn't kidding about those hollow point bullets..." Urahara commented.
"Ehhh..." Rukia surveyed the damage to the fence. "I can see that..."
"What brings you out here, anyway?" H asked.
"We were walking home from a movie," Ichigo replied.
"AWWWW!!!" Urahara exclaimed from behind the fence. "How sweeeeeet. They went on a little date together!"
"CAN IT, HAT-AND-CLOGS!!!" Ichigo punched his hand through the wooden fence like it was tissue paper.
Thud.
"I'd say he canned it..." H replied.
Awwwww, well idn't that cuuuuuuute?
BUT ITS WRONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!
Sorry, old reference to an old cartoon. Nobody got that, probably... Oh well. Review, please!
