A/N: Okay well, uh, I updated kind of late here... WAAAAAYYYY LATE.
I think this week is a bit hectic because niners stole my Ipod and the only typing resource I have is the shitty library at my school since my computer's been murdered. D:
Stupid niners and the library!
And my parents being retarded again and lectured me for 3 hours about losing shit in a airport or something... like shit... how the hell does it relate to my Ipod?
I think I should buy a new one?
I'll worry about that later... Review response time!
To: The Flying Lion, I can't really tell you why Ashido is working for the U.S since I don't want to you know the ruin the story for you and of course that's how you unleash 'Rukia' ;)
To: Kyurikochan: He was unfortunately... ahaha, well the next chapter is down below!
I like this chapter, even though it took me a while to think about it: like is it too early for them or what?
Okay next chapter!
Chapter 9: Soccer and the 'Soft' Rukia
December 17 1941
7:15 a.m.
The morning yellow sunlight rose just over the snowy white hill as I stood there wearing my long, thick black jacket; looking down at the whole camp below me.
I stared creepily at the Kuchiki house and saw Rukia stand by the window with her elegant long light yellow night gown that hung above her knees, yawning in tiredness.
I smirked evilly as I quickly loaded my silent pistol and carefully aimed it for Rukia's head.
Revenge is just too sweet.
As I was about to pull the trigger, someone grabbed me from behind and dragged me down the hill.
Ichigo's POV
Date: December 17, 1941
1:35 a.m.
Renji kicked the soccer ball across the wide open field as the other soldiers on the other team ran for it.
It was 40 minutes into the game and we were at our last round with 3 minutes on the clock that Kenpatchi was keeping track of. It was a score of 15-15 for each team.
Our final game was in the indoor recreation centre that Byakuya obviously provided us for training and sports. The walls are literally the whitest of the whites and the lighting is so bright... to the extent, it practically blinds me!
It's great to take a little break after all that stressful and brutal situations from yesterday since Toushiro wanted us to investigate Ashido's station intensively. We had to search every square inch of the place and we found nothing. What a waste of time.
Since I woke up stressed and grumpy, I think I kind of took all my anger towards some people on my teammates by kicking them hard by accident...ish.
Poor Iba-san... I kicked him in the face in the middle of side kicking the ball hard into the net.
I hope I didn't break his nose or anything cause that'd be a bitch for him and me, we would be enemies or rivals and that won't be pretty.
The soccer ball hits my chest and fell onto the ground as I stomped on it with my foot, narrowing my eyes cockily at 4 oncoming soldiers rushing towards me with a concentrated scowl on their faces.
I started dribbling the ball as I bolted towards Hisagi's net. I dodge the shirtless soldier who was trying to block me and stumbled as I just kept running and not look back.
Suddenly a soldier wearing a red Jersey and black shorts slid smoothly through the grass attempting to trip me, I kicked the soccer ball up in the air and jumped over the soldier who clearly had a shocking and stupefied look on his face.
I dribbled the ball some more and intended to pass it over to Toushiro who was wearing the same light blue Jersey and black shorts as I am wearing.
"Shiro! It's all yours!" I yelled as I kicked it in the air which landed on Hitsugaya's head.
He headbutted the ball hard onto the left the ball ended up landing to our other teammate Kaien.
I seriously think he's like my twin or something...
Everything about him, the cockiness, the facial features, the spiky hair and the toned body; damn! He is like a second version of me, except with black hair and noticeable lower eyelashes. In my opinion, it's seriously creepy and damn, get rid of those long eyelashes boy! Use scissors to cut them or something!
Kaien dribbled twenty meters more towards the other team's net as the group of five to six soldiers suddenly appear eight meters in front of him, defending the net. He gritted his teeth and growled at the soldiers before him.
It was now less than one minute before the game is over and before it goes into a tie breaker. If we lose the game to Kyuoraku's squad, we would have to run an extra 500m to our 3000m run everyday since Kenpatchi is my sports/gym coach.
Sometimes I just hate him. He's scary as hell too!
In a great distance between me and Kaien, I ran side by side with him and he looked over and nodded at me.
"Kurosaki! Heads up!" He yelled as he side kicked the ball into the air back to me.
I headbutted it and dribbled it once again when it hit the floor. I was ten meters from the net and Hisagi was getting ready to catch the ball by putting himself into an athletic position.
I gave him a determined and cocky smirk as I kneed the ball up in the air, turned around and did a backflip. Everything went into slow motion as my foot touched the ball and I kicked it hard, right into the net.
The whistle blew loudly as my teammates cheered enthusiastically since they are elated that we won the game. The bet was whoever won the game doesn't have to run the 3000 and the 500 extra meters for a whole week!
That, is pretty awesome.
The game is over with a score of 16-15 with only 0.51 seconds left.
I couldn't help but smile at the great accomplishment for ending an amazing game. I then ran my hand through my slightly long damp tousled hair from the sweat.
Hisagi was definitely shocked and unable to comprehend through his ability to catch the soccer ball, especially when the backflip caught him off guard.
I literally had to laugh at the look on his face.
Kaien quickly ran behind me and grasped my shoulder.
"Whoa! Kurosaki, that was amazing!" He said astonished by my amazing skill.
I turned my head back to face him.
"Thanks!" I said grinning widely at him as he lets go of my shoulder and grinned back at me.
I looked around as people on my soccer team crowded around me and started complementing me.
"Great job Ichigo!" Renji yelled from the net at the other side of the field.
"Yeah!" I yelled back at him.
"Alright boys, game over." Kenpatchi said pushing the soldiers away from me as he blew the whistle.
The soldiers started to head through the white double doors, going back to the men's changeroom as I stood there watching them and Kenpatchi putting away the equipment. I looked around and saw around 9 soldiers staying behind to practice football or soccer.
I looked over to the sidelines and saw a huge rectangular window where you can see another room; basically the entire room in there. It looks way different than this field.
The room has oak wooden floors like a basketball court but has gymnastic equipment and royal blue thick padded mats everywhere on the floors and walls. All I could see from here was a tumbling mat, 3 uneven bars that are 3 sizes different, a spotting platform, beams, rings (even though I don't know what to do with them) and a vault.
My eyes widen in surprise as I suddenly just saw Rukia doing backflips and the splits in the room. I couldn't help but stare at her since she's wearing a really tight dark purple leotard that shows off her curves.
And those legs! Like shit, i just want to touch it so bad! It looks so... soft.
Hey! Since when did I ever think of doing that?
But damn... she looks sexy in that.
My hand twitch in desire for her creamy looking legs, I couldn't help myself... honestly!
And these dirty thoughts are just getting into me like never before and it's creeping me out! I feel... weird.
Me an my creepy perverted thoughts... I'm so bad... (Sigh)
Oh... and now I think my shorts got tight just now... shit... that's just what I needed!
I saw her glance over at me as I quickly turned my head on the side to look somewhere else, I decided to look at the soldiers playing football to hide my slightly red cheeks in embarrassment for catching my really long stare.
I hope she doesn't take this the wrong way because I'm not like staring at her in desire or something.
Well... actually I kinda am right now.
I stole a glance with the corner of my eye, checking her out from head to toe as she looked back forward in concentration working on her front flips.
I feel like a total creep here.
. . .
I think I should go talk to her... hmmmm... I dunno... maybe that's not such a bad idea.
Oh wait... never mind, she might murder me and throw me into a ditch, trenches, shell hole or whatever if I disturb her...
I looked back at her while she was doing a handstand spreading her legs outward.
OOOOOORRRRRRRRRR I'll just say 'Hi' and check her out at the same time... YEAAAAHHH!
I smiled at the thought of my devious plan and started to walk across the field towards the small black narrow door beside the window.
I opened the door slowly and entered quietly without her noticing.
Rukia flips her hair back and sighed in tiredness as she grabbed a water bottle off the bench with her back facing me. I stood behind her, biting my lower lip and tapped her shoulder.
She was so startled by my sudden touch that she quickly turned around and side kicked me in the kidney with her heel.
I grunted and winced in pain as I fell onto to the ground holding my now aching side, she gasps and knelt beside me, looking at me with an apologetic face.
"I'm so sorry Ichigo!" She said worryingly as I tried to lift my head up to say something to her.
"Argh!... it hurts!" I said throwing my head back onto the ground from the pain and attempting to get back up again.
"Are you okay?" She said holding my hand and tugging to help me up.
"Yeah," I grunted. "I'm fine..." I said getting myself up onto a sit up position in one swift move.
She looked at me in a concerned face still holding my hand. She then started talking in a panicked voice.
"Do you need anything? Bandages? Ice-"
"No, it's fine," I cut her off as I looked at her.
For a moment there, she had a soft side and not that cold, bitchy side... this is a good start here. I'm starting to think she has a good side after all.
What's better is that she's holding my hand! Oh jeeze... my heart is pounding so hard that I can hear it. Shit... I don' know why but something tells me that it's probably a good thing?
I can barely feel the pain if she's holding my hand like that soft, gentle and full of concern. Let alone if she's going to touch me all the time... heh heh. OKAY ICHIGO... stop with those thoughts!
Damn it, I hate having stupid hormones... they just ruin my life everyday of the week. It just makes me more nervous when I'm around women. Why else am I always single?
"Are you sure?" she said uncertainly, letting go of my hand.
"Yeah" I responded firmly as I got up onto my feet and pulled my shirt down.
Awwwww... don't let go.
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
"So... you do gymnastics?" I said scratching the back of my neck, breaking the awkward silence and looking around the room.
"Y-yeah." She studdered a bit as she looked down at her outfit.
"That's cool, what else do you do?" I asked curiously, looking down at her.
"I uhm, can do Karate and Archery."
"Nice, I do Karate too." I said a bit over excited that I was meant to put out.
"Oh, really?" She said looking up at me.
"Yup."
. . .
. . .
. . .
. . .
"D-do you mind showing me your uh, gymnastic moves?" I asked a bit firmly.
Really Ichigo? Really?
She looked at me in surprise as I scratched the back of my head nervously.
"Maybe later..." She said a bit uncomfortably. "So what do you do other than Karate Ichigo?" She asked.
That's the first, she calls me Ichigo and not Kurosaki... weird.
"I do Karate, Soccer and a bit of Football."
"I see..." She said peeking over my arm to look at the windowed field behind me.
"Were you the one doing the backflip?" She pointed at me, looking back up.
"Yeah, that was me." I said a little proud.
"Wow, that was really amazing." She said admirably.
"Yeah, thanks." I smiled.
I think I'm beginning to like this new side of her; sporty and nice. That sporty side in my terminology is hot. Pure hot.
"When is your birthday?" She asked curiously with a slight pink blush plastered on her face.
"July 15, how about you?"
"January 14." She said looking at the ground with a now noticeable blush on her face.
Why is she blushing?
"It's coming up huh?" I said sitting down on one of the silver benches that were lined up in a row.
"Yeah." she responded plainly as she sat down beside me.
Since it's going to be her birthday... what should I get her?
"What do you like? You know... as a gift?" I looked at her, slouching my back, having my elbows on my lap and my hands hanging between my legs.
She looked up into the tall white ceiling, tapping her finger on her lips. Thinking hard about what kind of gift she wanted.
"Uhhhhh... I don't know." she said looking back at me.
"Anything in particular?" I said trying to find a perfect gift for her in my head.
"Not really." She shrugged.
"Alright."
. . .
. . .
"We are are uhm, throwing a huge birthday party at my hous- I mean Byakuyas... and uh, I want you to come." She said having slightly red cheeks.
Damn, she looks even cuter when she blushes!
"Yeah, sure." I said a bit happy.
Yes! I haven't partied in a long time.
She smiled and then stood up from the bench.
"I'm going to get changed... see you later, Ichigo." She said my name seductively as she started to jog towards the change room.
That totally caught me off guard.
"Y-yeah! See ya!" I yelled nervously back at her.
Hmmm... I wonder what happened to her... she completely changed! From being an annoying bitch to soft and cuddly an now she calls me Ichigo other than Kurosaki.. Is this a dream or what? * Pinches myself * Ouch... oh... then it's not a dream! Then... WOO! NO MORE BITCHINESS!
Just wait until she sees me at her party, I'm going to be wild and of course Playful with her.
A/N: I think Ichigo is a bit OOC (Out of character)
But that's how romance fics go in terms of romance here and especially when Ichigo isn't interested in these 'things'
