The Mysteries of This Life

Chapter 4: Lunchtime and Fights All Around

Yamasorrowichi and Ichigo were sitting on the roof eating their lunch peacefully. Mizuiro came up to them and looked at them eating together and interacting.

"Ichigo open my juice box for me."

"Open it yourself."

"I don't want to!"

"Just open it yourself. You're a big girl. You can do it."

"Just open it for me."

"No." She threw her juice box and it hit Ichigo in the face.

"Hey! It didn't break! Now open it!"

"No!"

"Do it or else!"

"Or else what!" She hit him in the face. "Ow! What the hell!" She hit him again. "What the hell!" She hit him another time. "Why do you keep hitting me!"

"Don't cuss in the presence of a lady."

"I don't see a lady around here." She hit him again.

"Jerk."

"You're the one that keeps hitting me!"

"You're the one that deserves it."

"I do not!"

"Do too."

"Nuh-uh."

"Yeah-huh."

"Nuh-uh."

"Yeah-huh. Now give up before you lose."

"Fine."

"Hi. Looks like you two are together for lunch. Are you sure you didn't go out when you were kids?" Mizuiro asked them. Yamasorrowichi got a disgusted look on her face and Ichigo just stared at him for a while.

"We never have gone out and we never will!"

"Well put Itchy-chan."

"If you two never went out then why do you call each other 'chan'?"

"We were friends and 'chan' seemed fitting." Yamasorrowichi answered right away.

"Oh. That makes sense I guess."

"By the way, who are you?"

"I'm Mizuiro Kojima. My hobbies include-"

"Picking up chicks."

"What! Don't tell her that Ichigo!"

"He may not look like it, but he's a real player."

"Oh really? For some reason I find the concept of him getting a lot of girls like any normal player unfathomable."

"I can get girls. But I only like older girls. I'm harmless to girls my age and younger."

"I still don't believe it."

"It's true. It's a good thing you aren't older or he'd be after you right now."

"I still don't believe what you're saying."

"But it's true. I can get girls."

"Prove it."

"How?"

"Try me."

"But you're my age. I don't want to have you as a girlfriend. No offence.

"I think you'll fail. But you should at least try. I'm not easy after all."

"Most girls that he gets are pretty hard too… Then again you are probably the only girl that can resist him. You are able to resist anyone anyways."

"Ya know Ichigo; these compliments you're giving me are starting to creep me out."

"They're true though."

"Even creepier."

"Helloooooooooooo Ichigo!"

"Hey, it's that gullible dude from class."

"His name is Keigo Asano."

"Oh. Thanks Ichigo. Now open my juice box! I'm thirsty!"

"Ok. Fine." He opened the juice box and handed it to her. They were completely ignoring Keigo.

"Uhm. Yamasorrowichi?"

"What is it Asano?"

"I'm sorry about believing all those rumors without even knowing you."

"It's alright. You just need to learn something."

"And what's that?" She stood up and looked him in the eyes before answering him.

"If you keep that up someone will end up hurting you out of anger."

"Oh." There was a pause before Keigo continued. "Are you looking out for me?"

"I wouldn't say that."

"But you gave me advice. You have to be."

"No I don't. And it's completely true."

"Ok. Well welcome to the men lunch party. If you happen to like any of the men you see, such as me, don't be afraid to make your feelings known!"

"You're trying to hit on me huh?"

"M- maybe."

"You are! Well it's not gonna work. I'm not interested in any of you guys." She paused and looked behind Keigo. "Who's that? Another friend of yours?" she asked pointing.

"That's Ooshima. An idiot that thinks I'm copying his looks by having orange hair," Ichigo responded.

"But your hair is natural."

"I know."

"Hey Kurosaki, When you gonna dye your hair black? Just look at yourself. Why are you trying to copy me all the time?" Yamasorrowichi burst out laughing. "What're you laughing at!"

"You! Ahahahahahaha!"

"Well quit it."

"No! HAHAHA!"

"Just listen to him Yamasorrowichi."

"No Ichigo!"

"Ichigo's right. You should listen to him."

"Shut up Asano. Just because you apologized doesn't mean you can tell me what to do."

"I'm sorry! I won't tell you what to do anymore!"

"Good." She turned and faced Ooshima. So you think that Ichigo is trying to copy you? Are you stupid!"

"No! And don't call me stupid! All you are is a sorry little excuse for a person."

"What was that?"

"Ooshima for once in your life be smart and don't insult her or try to fight her."

"No problem. You're the one I really want to fight Kurosaki." He started walking towards Ichigo. And he pulled out brass knuckles.

"Did you just pull brass knuckles out of your pocket? And are you threatening Ichigo?"

"Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"

"I do in fact." Yamasorrowichi stepped in front of him. "If you want to fight Ichigo, you have to get through me."

"Hahahahahaha! That's the funniest thing ever! Kurosaki has to have a girl fight for him! If you really want to protect him that bad, then I might as well just throw you out of my way."

"It's not gonna be that easy. I can probably beat you in 20 seconds?" she said. She was confident and Ooshima found her confidence in beating him infuriating. He swung at her and she ducked. "You're really slow." He tried again and she ducked again. Then she punched him as hard as she could while she was going to stand straight again. He stumbled back. "And you're much lighter than you look." She walked over to him and kicked him in his gut. He fell on one knee. "You're very weak. And you are a complete waste of time. There is no reason for me to fight you and Ichigo could take you on easily too. Hmmm. I just wasted my time. But I think it did some good. Ooshima, if you don't want me to fight you and beat you easily again, then don't mess with my friends or even insult them or I will be much worse than I was this time." Ooshima got up and glared at her before turning around and leaving. "Easy. Very easy." She turned back to everyone else. "Shall we continue our lunch?" She smiled and everyone gave a nod. She sat down and they continued their peaceful lunch. Well it was sorta peaceful.

"Are you sure you aren't interested?"

"Yes Asano. I'm sure."

(A/N: So that was chapter four. I know I said this was gonna be the fight, but I wanted to put this in here and so I decided I would put it here and do the fight next chapter. So NEXT chapter is the fight and I promise it to you. Please review. I don't own Bleach or its characters. I own any OC I put in here though so no taking them! Have a great day!)
