Enjoy!
Normal POV:
The last bell of the day rang, announcing the dismissal of school; which was soon to be vacant for a month and a half. Joyous shrieks and roars followed. Summer time had arrived, and that meant the arrival of the term break, to the relief of students and teachers both. While all the other classes has nearly been emptied, one particular group had stayed behind to discuss of their summer break plannings.
"Okay Okay listen up!" Keigo shouted as he stood infront of the class while slamming his fist to the board, "Summer break has arrived and you know what that means?~"
Orihime Inoue eagerly raised her hand and waved it around frantically, as if waiting to be called on "Ano..what does it mean?" she asked, her amber eyes shining with enthusiasm.
A perverted grin came to Keigo's face as he answered "Oh~ It means we must go to the beach and have fun! The sun the sand and of course the hot babes wearing bikinis playing in the water. You should get a bikini Inoue, I bet-.." not being able to finish as Tatsuki's foot jammed down on his, sending him howling in pain.
"The beach? That's a great idea Asano-kun! And we should stay at the beach houses or chalets, oh it'll be so fun! Oh won't everybody come?" she turned to everyone, her eyes now sparkling.
"Sure, sounds fun! I'll go" Muzuiro spoke as his mind filled with all the woman that he could meet at the beach, he nearly shivered in delight.
"What about you Tat? Come on come on, come with us pleaseeeeee?" Orihime pouted and pleaded Tatsuki, whom only sighed and nodded in response "YAY! " she squealed and wrapped her arms around her raven-haired friend. Orihime turned and faced the male who had matching hair color to hers and blushed. She slowly walked towards the scowling and sulking said person and nearly-whispered "Eh..Erm..Kurosaki-kun, would you come with us to the beach? It would be nice if you could join us" her fingers gripping the hem of her skirt.
Ichigo raised his hand and scratched the back of his head lightly "I don't know Inoue.."
"Ah, it's okay then Kurosaki-kun" she smiled, trying to hide her disappoint. "What about you Kuchiki-san? Can you come?" her bubbly exterior once out again.
Ichigo then turned to his petite friend and found her staring idly out of the window, daydreaming "Oi, Rukia" he called out, receiving no response and tried again though with the same result. He scowled deeper and smacked her at the back of her head, pulling out from her trance. She turned and glared at him "What?!" she yelled, obviously annoyed that he had disturbed her peaceful thoughts.
"Cheh! I called you so many times and you didn't answer, stupid midget" he scolded and grinned when he noticed the tick had appeared when he insulted her height. "What did you say?" He had barely enough time to reply her, let enough to dodge when the incoming book smashed against his face.
Rukia smirked and mocked "Not so cocky now huh Ichigo?" she folded her arms and huffed before sitting down again "So what did you call me for? You have my full attention now"
Ichigo rubbed his face and was about to curse her when he decided against it, seeing how she was glaring at him with deadly eyes that swore to skin him alive had he say anything to displease her. So he decided to answer her, not wanting to gain another blow to his face "Y-yeah, Inoue was talking about the group going to the beach during our break, you going?"
She shrugged "I guess I'll go, it'll be nice to go out in the sun once in awhile" and gave a glance to her hopeful feminine companion, "You should come Ichigo, don't be such a hermit, you'll die alone if you keep yourself at home for too long".
Again, he was about to retort when he saw her glaring at him, daring him to insult her. "Fine" he folded his arms and slouched down, resting his head on his hands as his elbows supported the weight on the desk. Expecting him to put up a fight against it, Rukia was surprised at the easy victory she gained. Orihime nearly jumped in excitement when she heard that her crush agreed to come.
After a moment of silence between the three, feeling slightly awkward and tense, Orihime excused herself as she joined the others in the discussion over the details of the trip.
Rukia noted the silence as well, sighed and got up from her seat. She took to the seat infront of him and observed his facial expression before leaning in and pressing her small fingers on the frown-etched eyebrows "Relax Ichigo, smile" before giving him grin of her own.
Ichigo blushed slightly at the sudden proximity and quickly faced the other direction, "Chh, says the Ice Queen herself" he weakly retorted before the sides of his lips pulled up into a smile
Rukia's POV:
"Alrightttt!" Keigo shouted at the top of his voice and waved his hands in the air, his tattersall shirt flapping vigorously against the wind.
Orihime's brother, Sora, was kind enough to offer us a ride to and from the beach, so now the other eight of us sat at the back of the shelterless lorry, vulnerable had it decided to rain. I had my doubts on bringing Keigo along with us at first, but now that I thought about it, it's hard to deny how his enthusiasm was welcoming. Though also excited for the arrival to our destination, the rest had decided to relax and enjoy the sun and the wind while watching as the scenery of tree and road flashed pass us, colors in a mix on a canvas. I sat back and leaned against the railings as I watched the sky above us, white puffy clouds shapes changing in unbelievably slow speed to other forms, the wind tangling our hair into a mess. I had my earpieces plugged in, decidedly that none of us were to engage much in any form of communication.
Then I felt a nudge on my arm, turning to see what he wanted only to find him mouthing words on which I could not understand. Doesn't that idiot know that I can't hear him? I shrugged and was about to turn away and I felt him tug off my left piece. "Oi, dont ignore me Midget!" He scowled and I responded to him with a scowl of my own. I smacked the back of his head and placed my hand infront of him, palm up, demanding for my left piece back.
"Come get it from me if you want it" he dared and I narrowed my eyes at him. I made a few quicks grabs at his hand only to unsuccessful, his movements too quick to my dismay. He then lifted his hands above his head and straightened them out to full length, swaying them around slightly to mock me "bet you can't even reach it now shorty" he snickered. Oh that's IT, now he's just asking for it! I shoved my elbow into his side and dug my knee onto his thigh, dangerously near his crotch and used it to hoist myself up. "You were saying?" I said smugly and held my prize infront of his face, taunting him.
Our small "skit" earned us full attention from our friends, the small group of audiences snickering and clapping to my victory. "HEH" I smiled and played along, making a small bow as a appreciation to their encouragement. Ichigo frowned and crossed his arms across his chest, definitely not pleased about his defeat. Child~!
I was about to go back to my activity when my foot got caught by the wire and my movement disconnected it from my Ipod. With such great timing, a new song started, the sound of smashing guitars and the pounding of the drums blared through the speakers.
"Hey I know this song, it's Holiday by GreenDay!" Orihime announced bubbly before humming along softly to the song. Everyone nodded nearly in sync and one by one joined in with the humming. It was quite a rare sight to see, though definitely inviting. Getting into it as well, I started tapping my fingers against the boards to the beat of the drums while Keigo began playing an imaginary guitar in the air. Just then a voice was heard, deep, its sound smoothly and soothingly gliding the air, beautifully singing along. Everyone froze in amazement, I stared, perplexed when I realized that the wonderful singing was from Ichigo.
Noticing that everyone else had stopped and placed their focus on him, he too stopped and glanced around nervously. It took me awhile to realize that he was actually feeling awkward and shy to have their attention, so I decided to encourage him. I started singing and he looked at me curiously and questioningly, I smiled and started drumming along. He understood what I meant, and plucking up his courage, he joined me and started singing as well. Everyone seemingly getting out from their shock, continued with their humming(Keigo with his air guitar-ing).
The last line of the lyrics came, "I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies, this is the dawning of the rest of our liveeeees," and everyone joined in "This is our lives on holiday!" raising our fists and smacking the air. Laughter broke out and everyone had a huge smile on their faces, it was fun and even I had to admit that it made me feel closer to everyone. This was just the start of the wonderful group "vacation".
So that's all for this chapter :D
