11. Dead Wrong
Gin saw them laying out in neat rows in the sun. They were wrinkled and dark. Persimmons, he was sure.
His mouth watered, and he glanced around. Rangiku was not in sight. Which meant he could sneak one. He could always blame a wild animal if she asked.
Gin knew he should wait, but he could not help but pick one up. It was his favorite thing to eat, after all.
He bit into it, smiling in anticipation.
A second later, he spat it out, trying to get the taste out of his mouth. It was nothing like the sweet, succulent taste of his beloved persimmons. What on earth did Rangiku do to them?
Rangiku walked outside of the house yet. "Hey, don't eat that yet!"
Gin looked at the evidence in his hand. "Tha's horrible. What'd the poor persimmon ever do ta ya?"
She stared at him a long moment before she started laughing. "It's a dried sweet potato."
"Oh," he said. He had a feeling he should have known that. "Well, I still don't like it."
"You really thought it was a dried persimmon?"
Now that he looked more closely at it, it was obvious it wasn't his beloved dried persimmon. "Guess so." Never again, he vowed to himself, intent on never tasting another dried sweet potato again.
In the "Official Bleach Bootleg" Rangiku's and Gin's favorite food is the persimmon, and Gin's least favorite is dried sweet potatos.... because he mistook it for his favorite food.
Hit the review button, it makes me smile.
