The Mysteries of This Life
Chapter 19: The Mysteries Continue
I woke up in a daze. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, trying to figure out where I was. I saw Orihime getting ready in the corner and Rukia sleeping peacefully next to me in the huge bed that was in the room. I suddenly remembered what had happened. I was in Ichigo's house. Rukia lived there in a room of her own. I had slept in that room with her and Orihime for safety reasons. I got out of the bed and stretched. I joined Orihime in getting ready for school. All I had left to do was change when Rukia shot up and sped through getting changed. I stared at her with my uniform in my hand. She turned to face me quickly and started looking between me and my uniform.
"Yamasorrowichi hurry up and get changed!"
"What's going on Rukia? Why do I need to hurry?"
"Just do it! You'll thank me if you finish in the next 3 minutes!"
"What's going on?"
"I'll explain when you're done changing!"
"Ok. I'll just get changed then." I changed as fast as I could. Once I finished, the door slowly creaked open. I stared at it in wonder. Suddenly it burst open and a lion looking stuffed animal burst in the room. It jumped towards Rukia.
"Rukia!"
"Ah! That thing talked! It moved too! What is it?" I screamed frantically. IT turned around to face me and Orihime. It stared at me for a long time. It jumped at me and I moved out of the way. It slammed into the door. The door closed. The stuffed animal got up and turned around to face me again.
"My name is Kon!"
"It has a name! Rukia kill it! It might jump at us again!"
"He's harmless unless you let him get close to you. That's Kon as he said. He's what's called a mod soul. He's a real pervert so you should stay way from him."
"Don't say that about me Rukia. I'm not a pervert. I just like to be social with beautiful girls like you 3." I walked over to Kon and stepped on him.
"If Rukia says you're a perv I believe her. I don't know you so I won't believe you."
"Perfect. Stay right there," he said from under my foot. I looked down at him and saw that he was looking up my skirt. I screamed at the violation and started stomping on him. Ichigo came into the room in an irritated way.
"Yamasorrowichi I see you've met Kon. Kon I see you've met her foot. What did he do that caused all the screaming?"
"Take that you stupid pervert! Don't look up my skirt again or I'll kill you. I don't care if you're just a stuffed animal!"
"That answers my question." Ichigo left after saying that. AS he left the room, he was mumbling something about breakfast. I stopped stomping on Kon when I heard that. I raced out of the room after Ichigo.
"Ichigo did you say something about brea-?" I stopped my question as I went into the kitchen and saw the breakfast that had been prepared. Yuzu turned around and saw me staring at it.
"Yamasorrowichi your plate is over here." She pointed to a plate that was prepared for me. I rushed over and ate it with enthusiasm. I hadn't eaten dinner last night and since I had been hanging around Yoko, I was hungry all the time. It was amazing at how that happened. She must have been eating away at my spiritual pressure and that was why I was so hungry all the time. I finished my breakfast at around the same time Rukia and Orihime came down the stairs.
"That was amazing Yuzu. Thank you so much for the breakfast." I said once o was finished. She smiled at the compliment.
"You're welcome. I'm happy that you liked it so much." There was a knock at the door. She went to open it. "Just a minute and she'll be out here. You can come in if you like," I heard Yuzu say to the person at the door as she started to walk back to the kitchen.
"Thank you, but I think I'll just wait here," I heard Uryu reply. I stayed in my seat until Yuzu came back into the room and looked over at me. It hit me at the same time her eyes landed on me that I should be leaving. I let her say it anyways before I excused myself and got my school bag from Rukia's room. I came down the steps with a smile and thanked Yuzu again before thanking Ishiin, Ichigo, Rukia, and Karin for letting me stay and not protesting the idea. It went towards the door but got stopped by Yuzu.
"Here's some lunch for you today." She handed me a bag. I smiled at her thoughtfulness.
"Thank you Yuzu. You're so thoughtful," I told her as I grabbed the bag she offered me. I put on my shoes and walked out the door. I smiled at Uryu when I saw him. He smiled back at me and embraced me in a hug. I returned the hug and we started our walk to school. "You're here earlier than I expected."
"I'm sorry but I wanted to take you somewhere before school."
"Oh really? Where?" I asked excitedly. He smiled at me before looking ahead again. I waited for an answer but there was none. "Uryuuuuuuuu. Where?"
"You'll see. It's a surprise."
"I wanna know now though."
"Sorry but no. It's a surprise so don't ruin it."
"Ok fine. How was your night? I'm curious about it. Did anything happen?"
"Nothing happened after I left. My night wasn't that good. I couldn't sleep because I was worried about you."
"Oh."
"How was your night? Did anything happen to you?"
"Nothing happened last night after you left for home. This morning I met a perverted stuffed animal named Kon and stomped him into Rukia's floor after he looked up my skirt. And last night was pretty good. I slept very well and you can even ask Rukia and Orihime with the same answer about my sleeping habit from last night. All in all I really enjoyed being with them. Now I need to figure out where I'm going to stay tonight and who is going to stay with me."
"We can all figure that out later. That necklace is pretty on you."
"Thank you. My mom wanted to give it to me in the winter after I turned 15. That's what my dad said. He gave it to me last night while we were upstairs. It was early but he thought I should have it now instead of waiting. He also gave me her crossed bracelet." I held up my wrist for Uryu to see the bracelet. He stared at it for a while as we walked. "Isn't it pretty? I'm kinda nervous about wearing it though. It's strange to wear something of hers. And she made this necklace too. I miss her and her smiling face. I guess that evil monster that killed her was clueless about the fire he was extinguishing when he killed my mom and her soul disappeared. I always had this feeling when she was near me. It's like I was sensing her presence. Is that possible to do?"
"Yes. I'm sensing you right now. I'm also sensing Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, and some others."
"That's so cool. My bag seems like it's got something extra in it today. It's so weird. I don't remember putting anything extra in it." I started to open my bag when Uryu pulled me to turn. He stopped after the turn and I was still trying to get my bag open.
"We're here now." I stopped trying to open the bag and looked up. It was our old school.
"This is the front of our old school." There wasn't anyone there yet. I walked inside the gate and went to the tree I had my first fight at the school in front of. I stood there and remembered the first time we had actually talked to ach other. We had to introduce ourselves personally to each other in the class but that was all we had done. In front of the tree is when we had first had a conversation. I looked at the tree and smiled as I remembered how we had always met in front of the tree when we were at the school. "Uryu this is our tree. I remember all the fun times in front of it. I used to look forward to meeting in front of this tree." I turned around to face him. I smiled at him.
"You're not allowed in this school yard! Go to your high school," I hard a teacher shout at us. I quickly faced the direction of the teacher and bowed low in apology.
"I'm so sorry. We used to come to this school and I wanted to see it once again on the way to school. It won't happen again. I promise you." I stood up straight and the teacher looked me and Uryu over. She suddenly looked at us in surprise then joy.
"Yamasorrowichi Kunarowichi and Uryu Ishida is that really you two?" We nodded. She jumped up and gave us both a hug. Went she stopped she looked professional again. "I always knew you two would go out and get married. I also had the idea of you having 87 kids together." I recognized her as she gushed about our 87 non-existent kids. I stared in shock at our old teacher. She looked so different. "Oh I can see it now, you two on the news with all 87 of your kids as the biggest family ever."
"We aren't married and we don't have any kids. We are going out but we aren't married."
"You will be though. Am I right Yamasorrowichi?"
"I don't know. I'm just sticking with what I said about us not being married and not having kids."
"You're no fun! Let me dream! You have a future together! I know it!"
"I believe you. I really do. You're scaring me though." I started to back away with Uryu watching us in amusement.
"Wait! Don't leave meeeee! Tell me all the details about your relationship! I want to know!"
"You're really scaring me! That information is confidential! You're so scary sometimes!"
"Tell me what I want to know!" Her eyes held a look of so much anger that it looked like they were going to make me catch on fire. I turned around and ran away as fast as I could. Uryu followed me. When we were 4 blocks away from school I stopped running. Uryu laughed about what had happened.
"Stop laughing! It's not funny!"
"It actually is."
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is."
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is." I stopped arguing. I stormed away. "School is the other way."
"I knew that!" I turned around and stormed off towards school. He caught my wrist. I turned around to face him in anger. "What is it?" I shouted at him.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help but laugh. Don't be mad at me."
"You will have to force me not to be mad at you." He pulled me close to him and placed his lips on mine in a gentle way. He slowly and gently kissed me. I kissed him back once the feeling got to me. I stopped thinking and just kissed him back. We stood there kissing and got stopped by a shout of shock and another shout of anger. We looked at the people that caught us. Tatsuki, Orihime, and Rukia looked at us with a shocked expression. Ichigo looked at us with anger painted all over his face.
"I'm gonna kill you Ishida."
"Shut up Ichigo. He can kiss me if he wants. You have no right to be mad. You aren't my brother so quit being overprotective when I'm with Uryu." I grabbed Uryu's arm and held it tight. I glared at Ichigo as he stared at us with an angry look still on his face. Eventually he just stormed off to school. "I think that went well. So how are you guys doing?" I asked everyone happily as they just stood there in confusion about what I told Ichigo. "It's the only way to get him to get over it." They all nodded and started mumbling things about what just happened. "You guys are very strange sometimes." I walked off after I said that. Uryu followed me and he was still mumbling. I turned around. "Will you quit that?" He stopped and stared at me. I heard a noise coming from my bag. I opened it up and saw Kon inside. He was getting squashed by some books. I closed it and looked at Uryu. "What do you have planned today?"
"Well after school we have crafts club. After that I'm taking you to where you're going to be staying tonight."
"Ok. What's your project for crafts club?" He pulled out a paper and showed it to me. It was an exact copy of the picture he gave to me that showed me in the dress he wanted to make when we were little. "That's so nice of you. I'm making a couple of tapestries. You're idea is so much better. When do we have to have our projects finished?"
"It's due after the weekend."
"Ok. That should be enough time." We walked towards the school discussing our ideas of how to make our project. It was so nice to talk to Uryu so normally after we had just kissed each other and had people stare at us. When we walked in the classroom, Ichigo was in his desk. He was staring at it angrily. I walked over to him. "Cheer up Mister Carrot!" He looked up at me angrily. I glared at him but he didn't stop. I smacked him in the back of his head.
"What the hell was that for?" he snapped at me.
"Don't yell at me! And that was for looking at me like that! You don't glare at me unless you WANT to get hit! I barely even tapped you so be grateful. You have 20 seconds to stop glaring before I really hit you!"
"Haha, Kurosaki is getting schooled by a girl."
"Shut up Ooshima unless you want this girl to kick your ass again!" He stooped talking and looked away. I turned back to Ichigo. He was trying to hold back a laugh. "That's better. Now are you going to be mad about what you saw earlier?"
"Not if you keep doing stuff like that."
"Good." Keigo walked in and saw me standing in front of Ichigo.
"Miss Kunarowichi you are beautiful and radiant like always."
"Shut up Keigo. I will never go out with you."
"Just give me a chance!"
"No. I'm already going out with someone anyways."
"Who is it?"
"None of your business."
"Tell me now."
"He's none of your business. He lives at the corner of never gonna tell you and just shut up before I kill you."
"You're so evil!"
"I know. I honestly don't care though." He went and sat in his seat. Orihime walked in and started asking me how things are in the relationship. I couldn't even answer with how fast she was talking. "Calm down Orihime. My relationship is great." Rukia and Tatsuki walked in. They rushed over and started talking to me about how I should be careful and know the kind of person I'm dating. "I know! Will you guys just leave me alone?" I shouted. I looked at them. They were staring at me in shock again. "What?"
"Is you're relationship making you angry?"
"No Tatsuki. You're making me angry." After I had said that I walked to my seat and opened up my school bag. Kon was still in there. I pulled him out and handed him to Rukia. "I think this belongs to you." She grabbed him and put him in her bag. I went back to my seat and talked to anyone that came up to my desk. Things were great again. The only problem in my life was nowhere in sight. I could only hope that she didn't appear today. I couldn't deal with her if she did.
