Rain and its Mishaps
Chapter 2- Grumbles
AN Hey peoples it's a new chapter!! Its raining outside :'( … I think that's where I got the inspiration for the setting of the first…sentence? I've told some of my friends that actually KNOW what Bleach is, and I've been given some pretty…interesting comments on it… But so far I think only one other person who I DON'T know personally has reviewed. claps for dbzgtfan2004 Thank you!! I love you so much!! Just so everybody knows, italics are thoughts and bold is what's written on the board and this story takes place say…right when the arrancars and vaizards come in ok? So excuse me for spoilers, but you've been warned! :D This chapter's called "Grumbles" Enjoy!
"Crap! I'm gonna be late!" yelled an angry orange-haired boy who was running to school through the rain. Of all the days for me to sleep in, it just HAD to be raining! He thought to himself. Usually, Rukia would have woken him up at 5 in the morning for a hollow attack or something and they would have gotten back in time for him to get to school. But apparently she had beaten the hollow up a long time before he woke up, and went off to school without him because of how majorly pissed off she was at him. This would have been fine on any other day, but today he forgot to set his alarm! And, its raining. He added, but that only depressed him even more.
Suddenly, the warning bell rang and the grumbling teen swore and sprinted his hardest. Luckily for him, he arrived right on time, and slid into his seat just when the bell rang. He was panting slightly. How could he not be? He just ran a five minute mile for Pete's sake! It was only after he had put all his things away and gotten out his books when he looked at the chalkboard. It read HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT VIDEO TODAY. Shit. As if this day couldn't get any worse.
That idiot. Thought Rukia as she watched Ichigo half sit, half fall into his chair. She had woken up earlier then usual to exterminate a hollow. It was actually pretty boring compared to the fights that they've had with arrancars.
She looked outside. When she was fighting the hollow, it was only drizzling. But now, it was pelting down like bullets! I sorta feel bad for Ichigo…he had to run through that to get to school. Rukia thought. But he deserved it! I mean, I had to wait through the rain for three hours yesterday, then I had to walk all the way home! and with that final thought, she turned her head to the chalkboard. HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT VIDEO TODAY it read. What's Human Growth and Development? She wondered, and was about to ask Ichigo, when she remembered that she was mad at him. I'll show him that I don't need his help for everything!Rukia smiled smugly and anticipated the start of the video. However, she was horrified when it started. I hope lunch comes soon!
Lunch had better quick! Or I may just barf on the midget... Ichigo thought darkly. He sighed along with the rest of the class when the lunch bell rang, and quickly grabbed his lunch. He headed toward Rukia and the rest of his friends who all were making their way to the roof to eat lunch, just like every other day in school. But all of their friends knew that something was different. There was a heavy, dark aura who everybody knew belonged to Rukia and Ichigo. Rukia was treating Ichigo with a cold demeanor, but was otherwise acting the same as she usually was. Ichigo was grumbling darkly, and giving Rukia glares every couple of seconds.
Suddenly, Rukia's cell phone rang and Ichigo's badge was flashing. Ishida, Chad, and Inoue understood and promised to give the teacher some sort of excuse. The two shinigami then took off, leaving their bodies in their friend's care. Inoue watched them leave with sad eyes.
They found the hollow in front of an apartment building. They quickly exterminated it, Ichigo in the front holding his attention, with Rukia coming up from the back and killing it. Everything was done wordlessly, with an awkward silence. Suddenly they heard a familiar voice.
"Oi! Rukia! Ichigo!" called out a red-haired shinigami.
"Renji?" they asked at the same time, then glared at each other and stopped talking.
"What's up with you two? Got in a fight or something?" Renji asked.
"No we didn't!" they replied, again, at the same time. "Stop copying me!"
Renji sighed at the quarreling pair. Would they ever stop? Surprisingly for him, that's what exactly happened…but not in the way he imagined.
Rukia sighed. They were at it again. Fighting and trying to bite each others heads off with insults.
"I don't see why you have to argue about every little thing!" Ichigo yelled at her, shaking her out of her thoughts. Rukia sighed once again, because it was starting to get boring.
"Fine, Kurosaki-kun." she answered and walked off. Ichigo was just as surprised as Renji. Not only had she not argued back and admitted defeat, but she didn't even say it like she was mad! Just…disappointment. Ichigo caught Renji staring and voiced both of their thoughts.
"What the hell was that all about?"
For what seemed like the umpteenth time, Rukia sighed. This week had been horrible. First, she had gotten injured by a hollow and decided to go to Urahara's for something to help it heal. Then, she had to walk all the way back in the rain because Ichigo was too stupid to remember to pick her up, and now this! Was she really not that important in his life?
She shook herself out of her thoughts. Why did it matter anyways? Its not like she cared what he thought, and it wasn't like she could stay here forever. Her captain only let her stay here, because that was her original mission. It wasn't going to last forever. So I'd better just forget about it and get some rest.
And with that final thought, she walked home.
Renji was utterly confused. He had just came from Soul Society to visit and help a little with the hollows in this area, but he ended up getting caught in a storm between Rukia and Ichigo! Sure, they fought nonstop, but this time it was different. For some reason, Rukia seemed…more solemn and lost the desire to argue back to Ichigo. And Ichigo…well, he was just as clueless about what was happening as he was. Then, a thought came to him.
"Oi, Ichigo." Renji called out. Ichigo glared at him. He was so not in the mood for Renji to start teasing him about that fight.
"What, Renji? I'm not in the mood for your stupidity." Ichigo grumbled, clearly not happy with the situation.
"This may be crazy, but I have an idea of getting you two back on well… better terms anyway." Renji told him. Ichigo must've looked suspicious about it because he quickly added, "What? I have my moments sometimes!"
Heyaz! How do you like this one? Yeah, I know, nothing happened. But stuffs gonna happen in the next chappie! And please review! I had people favorite and stuff, but only one person commented! TT Pretty please? jk XDD I was planning on uploading a new chapter every week, but it seems like that won't be possible.
