OH when a I put a sentence in ' ' It's the P.O.V's Thoughts
Rukia P.O.V
A strange looking boy got up, and walked towards her. His head was exposed to reveal a large mass of orange hair, this took her by surprise, not for the fact she'd never seen orange hair before (after all, Ireland and Scotland aren't exactly far away, not to mention the many red-heads seen around the place anyway) but for the fact that he was obviously Japanese too.
'He must've dyed it, I wonder if he knows he looks very much like an aubergine?' she pondered, momentarily forgetting her embarrassment 'wait no . . . they have green leaves . . . either way, he still looks somewhat odd . . .' He stopped in front of her.
"Hey tomato-face, would you happen to be Kuchiki Rukio by any chance?" He smiled and scratched the top of his head.
'Wow, he's ta . . . TOMATO-Face? Don't tell me I went pink' she cried mentally 'I NEVER go pink'
She smiled and nodded politely
"Yes, that's me" She giggled
"Ah good, that means we've got everyone, follow me and I'll introduce you. By the By, Why are you so red?" he turned around, obviously meaning for her to follow. 'NOOOO' Her Smiley face left as quickly as it came 'Ohh, that boy's ALREADY getting on my nerves, He notices EVERYTHING. Bet he'll ask immediately why I giggled' –That had come out involuntary; she forgot she was a guy AGAIN, but luckily, he seemed not to have noticed, at least to her. He turned randomly, and sniggered
"Why'd you giggle, you a girl or somthin'?" He smirked, her insides turned out 'He can TELL already!'
"Ha, NO, me a girl? You gotta be kiddin' I like . . . er . . Beef an stuff". . . 'beef an' stuff?' She shook her head mentally, 'well I guess it's not a lie, but still . . . I gotta get better at this'
"HA, yeh, like you could be a guy, you're way too boyish, how old are you for that matter?" her eye twitched 'boyish? . . . He was being sarcastic, right?'
"Er, sixteen"
"You sure about that?" he smirked 'Oh smart, real smart . . . arsehole'
They reached the Camp.
"So this is our group" he pointed out each individual
"The Guy with the crazy Hair's Renji . . ." 'like you can talk' she smiled and waved
"That's Ganju by the keg, Tatsuki's the one hitting Renji, and the huge guy's Chad" they stopped for a moment, nodded and smiled friendlily at her, then resumed their original positions. 'So you must be Ichigo . . . wait . . . doesn't Ichigo mean . . .'
"So you're strawberry-san then?" She smiled innocently at him, adding honorifics for 'politeness' inwardly she was smirking 'may as well learn as much as I can hehe'. His eye twitched
"It's. Ichigo."
She looked at him wide-eyed
"But I thought Ichigo meant strawberry in Japanese?" The others snorted. She knew perfectly well what else it could mean, but settled for payback. In the meantime, Ganju had started gulping from the tap of the keg. Renji hastened to stop him
"OI, Save some for ME dude, I've only had 3!" Ganju lifted his head shakily
"ain't gunna tafte sis for anofer free monfs, drinkin mi free monfs wurf"
"I don't CARE!" Renji started wrestling him off it, not succeeding much. 'Idiots, they probably forgot we have another three days here until we actually START' Rukia turned back to Ichigo, smirking.
"No. It means one protector"
"OHH . . . so it means . . . strawberry AND that? . . .Ah, I get it, It's like when you're ill and your mum would get herbal remedies if nothing else works, So you're like a Herbal remedy?" She smiled widely "wow, I wonder how many people came to you when they were ill" The others burst out laughing at this.
"Look dude, what is yo . . ." he stopped midsentence, "Hey, what does Ukitake-san want?" 'Ukitake?' she looked over to whom Ichigo was looking at 'Oh, so that's his name' it was the general she had seen when she landed.
Renji stopped trying to wrestle Ganju "Looks like he's gonna make an announcement" the others tuned in, and sat down.
"Well, my new recruits, looks like everyone's met their groups. Get to know them. These people are gonna be your family for the next three months." 'Ah hell, Strawberry-herbal-guy, pineapple-head, and beer-guzzler over there are already getting on my nerves' "So I propose you all sit in a circle around a campfire and tell stories about each other" he Smiled gleefully 'eh?' "And then In your three days here, spend time getting to know each other, go to the local pubs, go hiking, skiing, whichever you wish" He smiled exuberantly "that is all"
"Gawd that guy smiles a lot" Tatsuki murmured Rukia nodded
"Definitely. So I guess, does anyone have any 'funny stories?'" She looked round the group, each glazed over to their memories, chuckling at the experiences.
"Looks like it" She smiled "Who wants' ta go first?" she looked at the others, each looking around the group.
"I guess I'll go first" Renji sat up, twiddling a bit of bark in his hands. "well, One time, me and my mate were in chemistry, and we were doin' some sorta experiment, think it were that blue crystal thing, and we were messin' around with the splint's to light the Bunsen's you know? And, we trapped part of it down the middle of the tube that the fire comes out, so we got the teacher to come check it out,- our chemistry teacher was awesome, let us set fire to ourselves with ethanol an everything!," He grinned
'Let . . . you . . . well, actually that sounds like my chem teacher so makes sense I guess'
" anyways, he turned on the gas tap, and lit fire to it - you know, to burn out the splint – only we hadn't realised we'd previously trapped a load of gas in the tube, the whole thing blew up, singed all the hairs off his arm, didn't complain or nothing just said 'oops' and chucked it out!" He burst out laughing, as did the others "Aww, do miss them days, so much fun" He chuckled, and turned his head to the left, looks like your next Tatsuki. She sat up, "alright then."
"Well, there are actually quite a lot, but I'll just go for the one I remember more clearly, s'one of them you have to be there ones though, hope you don't mind" she smiled while the others chuckled and moved in to listen.
"Well, it was a Sunday, and me and my friend had biked down to this old quarry filled with water – to make a scuba diving centre – yeah, weird I know, anyways, we were racing down a hill on the way back, when a car swerved around the corner, I was in front at the time, having not seen it, jammed the handle bars to the right, flew straight OVER a ditch, and some god-forsaken-way managed to literally fly into a tree, I fell out of the tree, landed in the ditch I'd flown over, crap all over my back, bike STILL wedged in the tree, took me and my mate 2 hours to get it down, had to keep jumping and climbing and to add to it all the whole thing was covered in poison ivy"
Everyone cringed, "Ooooohhh"
"Still have the scars now" The others laughed
"Niiiice, looks like I'm next then" Ganju smiled
"Well, it was a day like no other, the sun was shining, the birds were tweeting, an I was stuck in a bathroom. "
"Was it from your excessive need to drink?"
"Oh ha ha Ichigo. No, I had ate a vindaloo the night before"
"Aaaaaghh"
"Exactly, anyway, the fire alarm had gone off – we were in a B+B at the time – an I was still stuck in the loo, so being the nice guys they are, the guys left me, and ran out the room. So there I was panicking like hell, finally managed to open the door ran out, when my pants got caught on the door handle."
"Uh oh"
"yeah, my pants ripped off, as you can imagine, so thinking, 'oh it's a fire, there will be people out there with them funny foil things on them'. I got out the door, and all I heard was an explosion of laughter. Of course that day, I'd gone and left a load of tissue in my undercracks, and it was a Drill. Still not got them back for that"
The rest guffawed, Chad, was to his left
"Well don't go and try the finger-in-a-cup-of-water-when-their-asleep gag, Spent the rest of the week bleaching my carpet for my mother. And If you do the feather and the shaving foam thing, don't stand right next to them, shaving foam stings when it's slapped in your eye." The rest laughed more.
Ichigo sat up "Well, let's just say, don't let your little sisters anywhere near your first ever car when you've pissed then off, and have spray-paint in the garage" the others eye's popped
"You have a car?" Rukia looked at him
"Yeah, I'm 17, but my dad taught me some stuff, and I got a car ready for when I could drive"
"Too bad you don't live in England, you could drive now" She stuck her tongue out, and Renji sniggered.
"Shut-up-you" He smile-frowned "anyway, basically, I came downstairs the next morning, and my once, blue car, was now a flower" The others giggled
"Ah, me I'm guessing?" Rukia chuckled.
"Well. It wa . ." Ganju cut her short
"Sorry to interrupt, But is that red dot in the sky shouting and growing bigger or is it just me?"
They looked up to where he was pointing
"Yeah . . . hey . . .is that . . .a parachute?" Chad squinted his eyes
They watched as the dot, came to reveal itself as a human, landed in a pool of mud.
"Ooooooh"
The person unclipped their parachute and started walking up to Ukitake.
"looks like a late recruit" Ichigo murmerd to the others, who nodded
They followed the guy, when all of a sudden, he tripped (over air) and landed straight face-first into a patch of goat-crap
"Uugh, feel sorry for the troupe that gets him" Ichigo wrinkled his nose
"Yup"
The other troupes seemed to have noticed him too, as all eyes were now on the late-comer. He stood up, and carried on towards Ukitake, who just frowned and looked confused. The guy reached him. At a distance, all the group could decipher, was that this guy was shouting to Ukitake who just kept checking his list and shaking his head.
"Intruder?" Rukia questioned. At this everyone's hands shifted closer to a weapon, ready at any moment's notice to 'silence' this guy, he noticed the shift of movement, and looked round to see 100 eyes directly on him, hands at the ready. His eyes widened, and carried on more frantically trying to persuade Ukitake, until
"Hey, who's the blonde dude in the weird green Gi?" Ichigo nodded to the said person, who had walked straight past them, and started talking to Ukitake, who at once, smiled and nodded, while a sense of relief washed over the guys face. The troupes relaxed,
"Must just be some late comer" Ichigo stated
"Have to say, feel sorry for the unlucky bastards that get him in their group" the others just nodded, and laughed with him.
All of a sudden, they saw the green Blonde person whip round, and point straight at Ichigo, the guy smiled at him, and started walking towards them, a look of horror worked its way swiftly on to the groups faces.
'Oh please NO'
"He's probably pointing at the troupe behind us" Ichigo laughed shakily "surely . . .not . . . cant . .be"
The 'guy' Stopped in front of Ichigo,
"Hey, I'm Asano Keigo, Iv'e been told this is where I'll be seated" He smiled and scratched his head at the others, who jsut stared at him in shock.
"Ri . . . Right, I'm . . . Rukio Kuchiki" She held out her hand at the newcomer.
