Just Not an Ordinary Guy
Ichigo walked into class late Monday morning only once again to be disrupted by Mrs.Sasaki.
"Ichigo kun ,where have you been? Skipping huh?"
"No I just" he stopped he really wasn't in the mood for this, he only had 1 thing on his mind today and that was Riya, even though he wanted to talk to Rukia too who seemed to be ignoring him but he didn't care, he already knew Rukia wanted him no matter how she might fight it and hide her feelings its all in her eyes. He could read her like a book sometimes when she let her feelings get the best of her he said to himself as his eyes went back to Riya. Who had been avoiding him every since he left the hospital, pretending to be sleep when he called and pretending not to be home when he came over, locking her windows knowing he could get through them. But it wasn't just her it was Irin too. He
seemed to be ashamed at Ichigo's presence he hasn't not once looked him in the eye since.
"Ichigo, Ichigo" Mrs.Sasaki Screamed but nothing seemed to be getting into the boys head for he was too lost in his own thoughts.
"Huh" Ichigo said awaking from his thoughts slumber.
"I'll let you off the hook this time because of what you've been through this last 2 weeks but if your late one more time its one month of detention for you"
"Thanks" Ichigo said as he noticed Riya sitting in the back of the class avoiding any glares he might throw at her. Riya couldn't stand the presence of Ichigo it wasn't that she couldn't stand him it was how she felt about him getting hurt. She knew or at least thought Ichigo would be mad. But really she blamed herself and so did Irin. Ichigo took his seat next to Chad wondering why every girl he knew was so difficult, All except Yuzu of course.
"Everyone down to the field were doing environmental research today, everyone must bring back at least two things that has to deal with the earth such as rocks grass bugs exedra." Mrs.Sasaki said as the class cheered. Ichigo saw this as an opportunity to talk to Riya. One that seemed to be brought by the kurosaki luck which was none Ichigo said to himself as the class lined up at the door. Ichigo began to walk to the back of the line were Riya was but was stopped by Orihime who looked worried.
"Ichigo are you alright now? I was so worried" Orihime said expecting Ichigo's body as the class left the room.
"Stop it Orihime the scars don't matter."
"Scars? maybe you could come by later and" she was cut off by Ichigo
"That's unnecessary use of your powers Inoue but thanks for the offer though" he said as his eye's slipped to the door
"Ichigo are you sure your okay you don't seem to be yourself today you seem really distracted"
"Look Orihime i already told you I'm fine, now we better get going before Mrs.Sasaki notices were not a part of her class anymore"
"Okay" Orihime said following Ichigo through the halls to the field to rejoin there class.
Ichigo knew his words came out a little rougher then usual but he was in a hurry even though that was no excuse to act that way towards Orihime, he have to apologize later "but for now" Ichigo said to
himself as he spotted Riya near a tree by herself "I'll have to leave it alone". Ichigo approached Riya silently for she seemed to be concentrating on a pink butterfly that landed on a piece of grass. Riya
didn't hear Ichigo sneak up on her all she heard was.
"So you still have a thing for butterflies huh?" Riya gasped but didn't say a thing just gave him a slight nod
"You know you" Ichigo tried to get out but was cut off
"Aren't you even mad?"
"Mad about what?"
"Just leave me alone"
"Oh why do all girls have to be so damn difficult?"
"Alright class back inside" Mrs.Sasaki said but no one seemed to be paying attention all eyes were on Ichigo and Riya. Rukia watched Ichigo and Riya they reminded her of how her and Ichigo used to be.
"Leave me alone Ichigo"
"No not until you tell me why your avoiding me"
"It's my fault your hurt"
"You had nothing to do with what happened"
"I knew Irin was trouble, I sent him out"
"Am I that weak that other people have to take the blame for things that has nothing to do with them" Ichigo asked
"No Ichigo you're not weak your anything but weak" She said walking up to him
"Riya are you okay?"Ichigo said poking her in the head
"Of course I'm okay, You on the other hand are bleeding again"
"That's good to know, you know you always did say stupid things, I got in front of those bullets, I took the risk if you weren't the one pulling the trigger then you had nothing to do with it.
"How dare you call me stupid"
"I didn't call you stupid i said you say stupid things"
"Well that's basically the same thing"
"Well then your really stupid if you believe that"
"I'm the stupid one but you have yet to realize your bleeding"
"Wait I'm bleeding?"
"Yeah your stitches busted open when you started yelling at me"
"I DIDN'T YELL AT YOU, YOU YELLED AT ME" Ichigo said nearly fainting from blood lost.
"Are you okay Ichi"
"Yeah i just need to find a friend to patch me up, so how's Irin?"
"He's still pretty shaken up"
"I guess i better talk to him huh?"
"Yeah"
"Tell him to meet me at the park around five"
"Okay thanks Ichi" Riya said hugging him "You always did make me feel better." Rukia couldn't stand watching some other girl touch Ichigo and hug him in that way it reminded her too much of them and what they used to be. So she went back to class and watched everyone come back in from the window. She watched Ichigo rejoin the boys and Riya rejoin Tatsuki and Orihime. Rukia sat in her sit thinking "Is leaving without telling Ichigo the best thing to do" Rukia sighed "I mean he already has someone he can talk to and love and" but her thoughts were stopped by the class re-entering. Ichigo went straight to the back of the class where the boys were all gathered up. Every girl except Rukia, Orihime, Tatsuki, Riya and Chiziru were skipping class probably in the bathroom smoking. So when Orihime asked Rukia to join them in their spying on the boys she jumped at the opportunity always wondering what boys talked about when they thought no one was listening and it happened to be quite interesting.
"Why do you always get the beautiful girls Ichigo" Keigo said pouting
"Well it seems to me that Kurosaki's got himself a girlfriend" Ishida added
"Shut it Uryu, Riya's not my Girlfriend." Ichigo said
"Yeah okay then what was all of that about by make out tree"
"None of your business Keigo and since when has that been make out tree? huh?" Ichigo silently slurred
"Since I made out with that 12th grader um uh um uhhhhhhh?"
"Ki-o-ko-sa?" Mizurio asked
"Yeah kiokosa"
"Whatever it doesn't matter we were just talking anyway"
MEANWHILE...
"You couldn't call Ichigo a liar that's for sure" Riya said "all we did was talk."
"Yeah" Tatsuki said. "Ichigo's not the type to pull a move on a girl in front of anyone"
"Ichigo's so sweet" Orihime added
"So are you" Chiziru added as Tatsuki attacked her
"So is there something more then just a friendship between you and Ichigo? Tatsuki asked
"No, were just friends and even if me and Ichigo did like each other we wouldn't risk losing our friendship that's just how it is between us besides he Just not an ordinary guy, you don't go out thinking you can find another Ichigo because you can't he's his own guy."
And that's why Rukia loved Ichigo he reminded her everyday that she loved him because he choose to
be different, not the same, he doesn't want to fit in or be cool he could care less about his hair color he just wanted to be himself and that's who he is the stubborn orange headed fool Rukia fell for.
Meanwhile…
"Yeah ok we believe you" Chad said with a smirk on his face that pissed Ichigo off.
"SOOOOOooooooooooo Ichigo out of all the girls in the class which one would you go out with?"
"None of them"
"Yeah right Ichigo" Mizurio said
"I'm talking about any girl in the school now." Keigo just had to say
"None of them I told you and even if I would I wouldn't tell you it'd be all around the school?"
"Awww I'm supposed to be your bestfriend" Keigo cried
"I never said anything about that"
"Okay then Ichigo but between Rukia and Riya which one would you pick"
Ichigo glanced at the clock just a couple more minutes tell the bell rings. Rukia was into this question
was Ichigo really going to answer it and if he did would he choose her?. Riya didn't care she and Ichigo
knew they were just friends right?
"Well" Ichigo said "If I had to pick between" Insert Jaws Theme " Rukia and Riya I would choose...
The bell Rung
"I guess we'll never know" Ichigo said
"Come on tell us Ichi" they yelled as he walked out of class
"Name's Ichigo" Ichigo said
"Well tell us then Ichigo "Mizurio said impatiently
"Riya's just my friend"
"What about Rukia" Ishida asked curiously
"Were like 75 year old acquaintances that don't get along
"So that would make Riya your pick" Keigo through in
"That would make this conversation over" Ichigo said on the verge of losing control at keigo's words
"So, Ichigo my man, who you taken to the dance?" Mizurio asked
"Hadn't really planned on going"
"You cannot I repeat you cannot miss this dance" Mizurio said "So what about you Chad"
"Not the dancing type"
"Ishida?" Keigo begged
"Yeah like I'd ever go anywhere with you guys, No offense Mizurio"
"None taken"
"So I guess that just leaves me, Mizurio and Ichigo "Keigo said
You could see the horrified look on Ichigo's face as the words Keigo just said
rang through his head, he had a dead and distorted look on his face as he blurted out...
"I never agreed to go to the dance, I'm not going"
"If you don't go I'll come over your house."
"And I'll beat the bananas out of you monkey"
"If you beat me up I'll have to stay your house is a clinic after all"
Ichigo had to admit maybe high school was helping Keigo out because some kind of way Ichigo had just got outsmarted. Which is a pretty hard thing to do to someone who always keep their guard up, which only made Ichigo wonder was he letting himself go, was this breakup getting to him or had he just been caught off guard. "I was just caught off guard" Ichigo said to himself. The rest of the day had gone by so quick for Ichigo he had to agree to going to the dance it was that or a night of not only his crazy mood swinging father but his pathetic womanizer of a bestfriend. so Ichigo had no other choice but to agree that him, Mizurio and Keigo would go to the dance as a group.
Rukia separated herself from the group of listening girls she had a lot to think about
was what Ichigo said what he really thought about them had there relationship gotten
that bad. She needed to get something's off her chest something's she could only trust
one person with.
"Orihime" Rukia called out to her as the bell for lunch rang
"Yes Kuchiki san"
"Would you mind taking a walk with me after school?. There's something i need to talk to you about"
"No not at all" Orihime said as she watched Rukia walk away, she envied Rukia in so many ways. The way she had automatic trust with Ichigo, from day one. The way she could cheer him up in no time.
They were like twins you can separate them but eventually they'll be brought back to each other. Orihime not only envied her way to lead and trust in Ichigo but there relationship. They way they went to such lengths to save each other, the way they helped each other, how in some way their soul's were entwined together. The way they just instantly bonded in a way she never could with him, they had gotten so close to each other when everyone else was so far away. It was true Orihime would never have what they have, but she could sense that whatever Rukia had to tell her in someway involved Ichigo and it wasn't good news either.
