Time seems to slow down and it was about to stop. He had left the note on the teacher's desk and wait till time for him to leave. And Hichigo was not helping.
"Hey king, what do you think my gigai will look like? Have you been to this thing before?" Hichigo just kept on asking questions all morning.
"I have no idea what your gigai will look like and yes ten years ago with my mom."
"So what was it like?"
"I don't remember much because I was little and had a bed time of 7 o'clock and my mom had two little girl no older then two. So I left after an hour or so. All I remember is a big bon fire."
"Is it just me or is time going backwards?"
"It's just you." Looking at the clock and it read 11:39. "Damn six minutes. This will take forever."
"Kurosaki you are excuse for the rest of the day." The teacher said seeing he was just starring at the clock.
"Thank you." Ichigo said with a bow and left to go get Hichigo gigai.
After they left the school grounds Hichigo appeared next Ichigo. "So are you sure about not remembering about it?"
"For the last time yes I'm sure that I don't remember a thing but a big bon fire. You know you could just go and check yourself, if you don't believe me."
"Why I'll find out in two weeks or even today at the fitting."
"Then stop asking me about it. Besides we're here. Go get your gigai."
"Welcome Hichigo and Ichigo. It's right inside, just go in it like you would when Ichigo goes into his body." Urahara said as he fanned himself on a breezy day.
"Ok," Hichigo said as he walked in.
Ichigo just stood outside for a minute or two waiting on Hichigo to come on out.
"I look like a human." Hichigo said as he walked out. His gigai was the same height and same hair color but that was it. His eyes were green, his skin was pale but not sickly pale. His nails were a normal color but could paint them later if he wanted to. He was dress in blue jeans and a black t-shirt that read 'eat shit and die' on the back. Plus he had a pear of black sneakers on.
"While you are supposed to blend in the human world not stand out like a sore thumb." Urahara said shooing the two teens off for their fitting.
Walking down the street where everyone can see you was making Hichigo little unease. "Hey king, why is everyone looking at me?"
"Well that's because of your hair. They see it as disrespect to authority, or a Yankee. But Urahara did make you look like my twin. I need to think an excuse on why we look alike. What are you looking at?" Seeing that Hichigo had stopped to look at a window.
"I'm just looking at these lizards in the shop-a-pet (desert style) store window. This one," he was pointing to a Regal Horned Lizard in the window.
"What about them?"
"This is the type of hollow I am.
"How do you know what kind of lizard, you are? Plus you don't look like that." Ichigo lowered his voice so no one can hear him.
"I just know what I am." Hichigo hiss back at Ichigo.
"Well you can't have one, because it's related to you. Come on we are going to be late for our fitting." Ichigo said as he started to pull Hichigo away from the window.
"Are you making fun of me? Because if you are. I will kill you." Hichigo allowed to be pull away and stared to walk with Ichigo again.
"Calm down, will you. I was just saying that you can't have a pet. Plus I have Kon and he is enough of a pet for both of us. I don't need more pets to take care of." Ichigo said as he walked down the road with Hichigo in tow.
"Kon is not a pet, but a mod-soul. Sure he is annoying and a royal pain in the ass. But he helps you when you leave your body untended for a lathy time. Or do you want your body to rut and be useless to you when you get back. I tell you now that this gigai feels like crap compare to your body."
"We here."
"What?!" Hichigo stop talking for a minute to look where he was. "Oh really, that soon. What a shame."
Ichigo just look at him, "what do you mean by 'what a shame.' Looking at Hichigo with a worried look.
"I mean nothing by it. I was just like talk to you like this."
They broke their physic link with each other.
They both walked in. to be greeted by an old lady behind the deck. "Welcome to our store of parties and costumes. My I have your names, please." The lady opens her book to see if there was any in it.
"Ichigo Kurosaki and Hichigo Kurosaki. We are here for a fitting for Sunday in two weeks." Ichigo inform the lady at the deck.
"Yes I see it right, here. Hichigo please come this way so I can get your measure and the coloring right." She got up and walked to the back and waited for Hichigo to follow.
Ichigo just sat down and read a random magazine on the table. It took 35 minutes for her to get Hichigo measures and now she is starting with his color.
"Will your hair be this white on that day?"
"Yes it will be this white."
"Ok then lets see." She holds up weird colors at first. Like a puke green then sea green.
"No greens please. I really don't think I look good in the family of green." Hichigo said hoping to go to another color.
After another 35 minutes all the colors were pick out. "I will have you costume ready in one week please come back at the same time for finally fitting." She wave Hichigo and goodbye and then wave Ichigo to come in for his measure and color.
After an hour and ten minutes Ichigo was release from that mad woman and her bad taste in colors chooses.
"How did it go?" Hichigo ask as he eats a triple scoop chocolate mint chip ice cream cone.
"How do you think it went? And where did you get the money for that ice cream cone?" Ichigo looking at the ice cream like it was a good idea.
"With this," he hold out Ichigo's picked wallet.
Grabbing his wallet to see how much is left and saw that the hollow just bought ice cream and nothing more. So he walked away to go get his own ice cream cone.
After another five minutes of waiting for Ichigo. He came back with his own triple scoop chocolate, chocolate mint chip and chocolate fudge brownie ice cream cone with strawberry and chocolate jimmies on top.
"Alright lets go home." Ichigo said while licking his ice cream cone.
They stop to finish their ice cream before going into the house. Neither didn't want to hear Isshin whining about them having ice cream and not bring him some.
After they finish, then they went inside and was greeted by Isshin foot in both of their heads. Sending them both out the door. "Don't come back with out my ice cream cone." Then slammed the door in their faces.
"Well that's one way to get out of not hearing him whine about not having an ice cream cone." Hichigo said sitting down on small porch in front of the door. "So you can get whatever it is that old goat likes, so we can go back in."
"Sure why not, I guess that I'll get some other sweets while I'm at it." Ichigo said while walking away knowing that his hollow will follow too.
"Hey wait for me," jumping up from his spot on the porch and started to run after Ichigo.
"So what are you planning on getting anyway?"
"I don't know. Maybe some chocolate and hard candy to suck on."
"What kind of ice cream does that idiot want?"
Walking into a store, going to the freezer. Opening the door and pick up toasted coconut sesame brittle ice cream.
"What the fuck? Who in there right mind will like that shit?" Hichigo ask as he was turning a pretty shade of green.
"My dad, and don't ask why he likes it." Ichigo walked up to Hanataro to pay for the ice cream. "Shit can you grab cones from aisle seven?" He asked Hichigo as he stands in line.
"Sure why not if it means that we leave sooner." Hichigo walked to the aisle seven to get the cones. Then he came back and handed him sugar cones.
"Hey Ichigo-san." Looking at Hichigo then move in to ask Ichigo about him. "Who is he?"
"Who him?" jabbing a finger at Hichigo, "he's just my hollow in a gigai."
"Oh ok, if you say he's ok then it most be ok." Handing Ichigo his paid things.
"Ya good bye Hanataro. See you next time." He wave at him. Then he and Hichigo walked out and went home.
