The current currency difference between U.S. currency and Japan's currency is;
1 dollar = 97.2384 Yen
But I'm gonna round it up to the nearest tenth making it;
1 dollar = 100.000
SOO much fluff!
R&R makes me a happy cookie!
Heavily breathing, Rukia paced herself as she weaved through the crowd of people. Brushing her way through with a barge of excuse me's and sorries.
She knew her way to the Museum and she was sure she was going to be there before Ichigo. Rukia knew the last stop would take longer than usual because of traffic and the many streets where stop signs are located are on the route to the Edo Museum. That there is enough time cusion for Rukia to arrive at the Edo Museum before Ichigo.
Within moments of weaving through the crowd and waiting for the walk sign to flash, Rukia finally arrives at the Edo Museum. Her violet eyes gleams under the bright sun as she scans around for an orange haired boy that would stick out like a sore thumb.
No dice.
Ichigo was no where in sight and Rukia feels great. Ichigo will be paying for her ticket for entrance in the Edo Museum.
Happily sitting on the stairs, kicking her feet around, Rukia pulls out her cellphone and takes a picture of herself infront of The Edo Museum, flashing a peace sign with her and takes a quick picture with it. She then quickly texts Ichigo with the photo attachment.
Kurosaki! Looks like Your going to be paying for my ticket! 4:19 P.M.
Shut up! You probably knew there was going to be traffic. 4:22 P.M.
Well, it doesn't matter now! I'm getting my free ticket! :) 4:24
How much are the tickets? 4:26 P.M.
20,000¥ for an adult. 4:30 P.M.
How much does it cost for a kid? 4:33 P.M.
Eh? Why are you asking? 4:34 P.M.
Cause you look like a little kid and I was thinking of getting a discount. Midget. 4:37 P.M.
Stupid strawberry! I'm not a midget! 4:40 P.M.
...
Sporting nothing but a smile, Rukia tucks away her cell phone as she continues to look around for the color orange. After all, if Ichigo stopped texting her it most likely means he arrived and he's walking right towards the Museum.
Kicking her feet in the air, Rukia takes a look at her watch as she taps it. It's been longer than she thought and she figured, Ichigo got lost since he was looking at the bus schedule confused.
Stupid Kurosaki probably got-
"Oi! Kuchiki!" Bright orange hair could be seen in the distance as Rukia pops up off of the stairs with a devious grin on her lips, after all, she's getting in the Edo Museum for free.
Her arm shoots up as she jumps and waves it, "Kurosaki! Over here!"
After receiving old looks from passer bys, Ichigo slinks through the crowd of people towards her before giving her a glare. "You knew that there would be traffic didn't you?"
"It's not my fault the bus brought you here so late-I even told you I go the Edo Museum a lot when I was younger with my parents. That should have been a dead give away."
Rolling his eyes, he stuffs his hands in his pockets, rummaging for his wallet. "So it's 40,000 ¥ for two of us?"
"Your forgetting abotu taxes~~" Rukia sweetly cooes as she batts her eyes.
Letting out a sigh Ichigo walks away, "Yeah, yeah, yeah... Just stay there. I'll be back.."
Quickly weaving through the crowd, Ichigo disappears as a group of quiet giggling grade school slowly walked towards Rukia. There was five of them, each cute and adorable with their different little quirkiness.
Quietly giggling with one in another, the group mumbles with each other.
"Ask her!"
"Nya! Make her ask her!"
"I don't want to ask!"
"But don't you want to know?"
With a bright smile, Rukia slowly walks up to the group of little girls and sweetly asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
"Ahh!" The cute little girls squeals. They didn't expect Rukia to confront them so suddenly. But, with Rukia's warm smile? the little girls warmed up to Rukia real fast.
The little started to shyly push each other around, urging one another to be the one that speaks up and it happens to be a cute little girl with long pig tails and glasses.
The little girl with long pig tails and glasses fumbles forward as she straightens herself out and clears her throat, shyly, "Are you his girlfriend?"
Rukia tilts her head. "What do you mean his girlfriend?"
"The guy with the orange hair." The tall one from the group chimed, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Rukia's eyes widen the moment laughter comes spilling out of her mouth. Shaking her head, "Oh no-no-nooo... He's not my boyfriend..." An eye brow arches. "Why are you guys asking?"
"Well..." The little girl with long pig tails and glasses fumbles with her glasses as she lightly kicks the ground beneath her and quickly quips, "We think he's cute!"
The small group of little girls all burst out in giggles as the little girl with long pig tails and glasses smiles and blushes all shades of red.
That was when Rukia came up with a plan that would benefit both her and the little girls.
Calming down the group of little girls, Rukia quietly askes them, "Would you girls like to meet him?"
The group of little girls squeal in delight as they all did a mini jump and bump up against one another agreeing.
So, without wasting time Rukia takes a good look around and sees a orange haired boy shuffling his way towards her.
"Okay," Rukia quietly whispers to the group of little girls, "His name is Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Oi! Kuchiki!" Ichigo huffed once he faces Rukia, "I have the tick-"
"Kurosaki!" Rukia happily chirps with a devious smile as she presents the group of little girls, "These little girls would like to meet you..."
Quietly squealing, the girls nudges forwards the little girl with long pig tails and glasses who shyly mumbles, "Kurosaki senpai..." The little girl with long pig tails and glasses blushes hard as she looks at him right in there eyes, "We think you're cute!"
The group bursts out in giggles as the little girl with long pig tails and glasses darts back into the group giggling with one another...
Ichigo on the other hand...
Ichigo glares at Rukia who happily watches the little girls giggle with one another.
"I can't believe you told him that!"
"He's soo cute!"
"I wish I was older!"
"What if we-"
"Girls~ It's time to go!"
The group break out in sad whimper while Ichigo stares at Rukia who suggests the unimaginable...
"Would you girls like to take a picture with him?"
The eyes on the little girls glistened with joy when Rukia asked them that-Ichigo? Well, Ichigo wasn't too happy with Rukia's suggestion.
Digging for their cameras Rukia quickly whips out hers as she whispers to Ichigo, "I'm not missing this opportunity!"
Ichigo attempts to grab the camera away from Rukia who quickly pranced away from him and took the cameras the girls gave her to use.
The girls are now clustered up with bright smiles and Ichigo who just stood there annoyed.
"Okay!" Rukia happily chirps as she takes the last photo, "I have your cameras so come pick them up!"
All the little girls bumble their way towards Rukia as they take their camera, but one stayed behind.
"Kurosaki senpai?" The little girl with long pig tails and glasses shyly mumbled as she faces Ichigo, "Can I get a photo with just you and me?"
Rukia couldn't help but squeal in laughter as she thinks to herself, Revenge for calling me a midget.
Shooting a quick glare at Rukia as the little girl with long pig tails and glasses hugs onto Ichigo's waist face smiling with her eyes closed-surprising Ichigo, he looks at the little girl mortified and..
Snap! Snap!
The pictures have been taken and there is no going back as the little girl with long pig tails and glasses quickly bows, "Thank you for the picture Kuchiki senpai and Kurosaki Senpai!" And the little girl with long pig tails and glasses went bumbling off to join her friends which all swooned over the one on one photo she has with Ichigo.
"Kuchiki..." Ichigo gritted between his teeth. "Why did you-"
"That was for calling me a midget." Rukia proudly smiles, "We're even now."
Letting out a huff, Ichigo runs his fingers through his siginiture orange hair as he hands Rukia her ticket. "Here. An adult ticket."
Sticking out her tongue Rukia takes the ticket and nudges Ichigo. "What are you waiting for? Let's gooo!"
-o-
Bustling through the crowded exhibits, Rukia manged to take some photos of small minture villages, clothing, traditional hand written books and scrolls and she manged to steal a few photos of Ichigo picking his boogers without him noticing of course.
They've toured around the Edo Museum enough for their project. Now, all they are waiting for now is the promised free live Kabuki theater. Which starts within 15 minutes so the pair decides to wait outside the door so they can get good seats.
"Oi, Kuchiki." Ichigo watched Rukia from the corner of his eyes, "Your friend told me about some balll you were going to attend and you needed a date..."
A sigh was released the moment Rukia face palms. "Forget about what Akane said.. She doesn't know what she's talking about.."
"Eh?" Ichigo takes a quick glance at Rukia. "So you don't want to go?"
"I am going. Just alone."
"I can always go with as fr-wait... Oh... Okay...Good." Ichigo quickly added as Rukia looks at him suspiciously.
A slight deviously grin creeps upon Rukia's lips. "You want to come to the Future Alumni Ball?"
Ichigo lets out a huff. "Look, forget what I just said."
Rukia's eyes narrows as she jabs him on the side. "Jerk."
"What the hell!?" Ichigo stares at her, "What was that for?!"
"For being a jerk."
"How was I being a jerk?!"
Folding her arms, "You were saying something and stopped mid-sentence. That's rude."
"It's not!" Ichigo retorted as he rubs his side, "I just didn't know you'd be fine going alone... That's all."
Raising her eyebrow she looks at Ichigo, "Have you ever been to Future Alumni Ball?"
Shaking his head scoffing, "Future Alumni Ball? I'm not rich like you are.."
A sly grin creeps onto Rukia's mouth as she nudges him, "You wanna come along? We'll go just as friends. Nothing more."
Nothing more?
"It's not going to be something boring is it?"
"Not when you have me as a friend." Happily chirps. "Trust me, we'll have fun together with my friends on Sunday. Plus, you'll have to bring an extra pair of comfortable socks."
"Eh?" Ichigo now looks at Rukia confused. "Bring an extra pair of comfortable socks?"
"Yeah," Rukia repeated, "Bring an extra pair of socks cause you're going to need it. Unless you want to risk your nice socks, that's all you..."
"Why would I need an extra pair?" Ichigo repeated confused. "It's not as if we're going to go somewhere else..."
Narrowing her eyes, Rukia gives Ichigo a look. "You really think all me and my friends do is go to the ball and that's it? Ha! We have fun after a boring dinner."
Fun? Ichigo inwardly thought to himself. What does she mean by-
"Ah!" Rukia happily exclaims. "The doors are opened! Hurry!" Rukia grabs Ichigo by his wrist as she pulls him inside the theater and finds the perfect seats for them and settles in.
