IM SO SORRY!! I planned on updating a good chapter five days ago, but I had to go camping. Then guess what?!? I give you this short chapter. I am so sorry! don't hate me! Also, to answer your question on why the love didn't start between Toushiro and the OC, its because whenever I read a love story in a fan fiction the love starts in the FIRST chappi and stuff, and it just annoys me. Its not realistic. I started it in this chap.
I woke up to the soft rays of sun running across my face. I got up and walked to the kitchen when I remembered. Today we were going to the fair! I was just getting up from my bed when I smelt it.
I smelt a crime against nature in the kitchen, which only meant one thing. Orihime was cooking.
I rushed down the hallway trying to make my way to the kitchen where a lot of stifled groans could be heard.
I burst into the kitchen when I saw the abomination Orihime had created. It had the texture of soup… but was colored lime green.
"Orihime…" I started cautiously "what is that?"
"Skittle Soup! With some other things thrown in."
"It looks tasty," I said lying through my teeth "how do you make it?"
"Well I started boiling water… then I crushed all the lime green skittles into it… I cut up oranges and put fresh squeezed orange juice in it… then the rest is quite simple. There is onions, small apple slices, a little bit of caramel, some cut up zucchini, and then I put some milk in it!" Everyone at the table gave me the 'help me' look.
"Sounds delicious!" I said grabbing a bowl. I pretended to drop it and slide across the table knocking everyone else's off the table including the pot. "Oh no! Orihime im so sorry! I know you worked hard!"
"It's okay! Just go change clothes so we can go to the amusement park. I'll make it some other time." Everyone sighed with relief and I went to go change.
We all loaded into Ichigo's dad's car and his dad drove. Im kind of upset that none of them ever learned to drive or weren't old enough because Ichigo's dad was really, really childish.
We were about halfway to the amusement park when Rukia's stomach let out a loud growl.
"Hungry?" Ichigo and Renji asked at the same time.
"…yeah."
"I am too." I noted.
"Food sounds good." Orihime agreed.
"Should we stop at a Burger King?" I asked.
"Sure." They agreed.
Burger King was a disaster. Ichigo's dad had gone off somewhere when we pulled into the driveway and Ichigo followed. Id driven many motor vehicles before so they had left me to pull through the drive-thru. No, I did not crash the car, didn't run into anything, and I didn't just drive away for a joyride.
No, the disaster was caused by the freaks in the backseat. Here's how it went:
"So what do you guys want, before I pull in?"
"What do they have here?"
"Well its still breakfast and I usually get cini-mini's. They're basically mini cinnamon rolls." I went on to explain everything they had, eventually they decided on what they wanted and I pulled into the drive-thru.
I got up to that talk-box thing-y they have and started ordering.
"And some French toast sticks."
"Will that be all?" Then hell broke loose. A few screams came from the back and when I looked back Renji was outside whacking the talk-box with his Zanpakuto. You've got to be kidding me.
"WHAT'RE YOU DOING?"
"WHAT IS THIS THING? ITS TALKING!"
"YOU BONEHEAD! THERE IS ANOTHER PERSON ON THE INSIDE TALKING THROUGH IT!" The argument went on for about two minutes when I spotted the manager exiting the building to see what the commotion was about. "Get back in your body, we gotta run." He hopped back in and I sped away. The manager had run up to the now broken, mangled, and destroyed piece of machinery that was no longer usable.
Ichigo was arguing with his father about twenty feet away from the drive-thru, over something childish I bet.
I shouted at them to get in and to my surprise, they obeyed. I sped down the road for a good twenty miles before stopping to switch places with Ichigo's father.
"What the hell happened back there?" Ichigo asked me the second I got back in the backseat.
"Bonehead here didn't know what the walkie-talkie thing was for the drive-thru. He completely destroyed it with his Zanpakuto."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Baka!" Ichigo yelled at Renji before hitting him over the head. They got in a huge fight and I ignored it. They were such idiots.
We pulled into valley fair and Orihime got really excited. Renji and Ichigo started to make bets about who would go on more rides, the rest of the people were gaping at the power tower.
"So beautiful isn't it? A true work of art." I sighed lovingly at it. The others turned and stared at me like I was crazy. I turned and grabbed Toushiro's hand and ran to the gate where we would pay. I liked the way his hand felt in mine…
Once Ichigo had paid admission I ran to the power tower. The park had recently opened so the line was very short. I ran to the power tower, all of my friends in tow. (For those of you who don't know what a power tower is ill explain.)
The power tower goes up sixty stories in the air and suspends you there for anywhere between eight and fifteen seconds. Anytime between that seven second gap it will drop you unexpectedly leaving you plummeting down sixty stories to be caught and bounced back up.
The power tower was shaped in a rectangle, four seats on the front, four seats on the back, and two seats on each of the ends. Ichigo sat with Orihime and Renji sat with Rukia. On the edges I sat next to Toushiro and Rangiku and Chad was on the end. On the other side were some teenagers we didn't know.
The ride slowly rose up and I was slowly feeling the fire of adrenaline pumping in my veins. I looked over to see how everyone else was doing.
Rukia was teasing Renji about being afraid of heights, Orihime and found a way to hold on tightly to Ichigo while the harness was strapping her down, Rangiku was talking and giggling with Chad about something stupid, and Toushiro was… afraid?
"You all right?" I whispered to him. His face hardened to the best of his ability and he muttered a small 'yes'. He still took my hand in his and squeezed tightly. I was gawking at the action and didn't even notice the ride drop. I liked the way it felt, holding his hand in mine. The only question was… why?
The same thing happened on roller coasters, and I kept making us go on roller coasters and on the power tower just so I could hold his hand in mine… I am so selfish.
We were leaving the park when it happened.
A screech came from the sky and black lines spread out. They cracked and rippled across the sky before it opened and revealed Ulquiorra.
Again, sorry for this chap, I still hope you enjoyed it. Well remember reviews are love and cookies.
