E- Elephants
Summer is the best time to go out and travel. Many go to the beach or go shopping. Maybe some go hang out with friends at the amusement park, concert arenas, or even the zoo. Being in Soul Society has limited souls to experience many things that are available in the Living World. So after being seperated for seventeen months from each other, Rukia demanded that during the summer she would be taken to all the attractions around Karakura and other cities close by. During the first week Rukia was taken to the aquarium and the arts museum. The arts museum was quite interesting for it being such a small attraction. Rukia got to see brilliant paintings of cherry blossoms in many states. Ichigo shivered and stared hatefully at the cherry blossoms. Ichigo thought at random times the cherry blossoms would come out and attack him. Who could blame the poor soul for being cautious around the deadly flower? After all, he was dating the Kuchiki-taicho's adopted sister. What came worse was when Ichigo took Rukia to the aquarium. Ichigo has taken his sisters to the aquarium many times and had no problems, but with this midget.. Words cannot describe it, except the word hell. Yeah, Ichigo believed the experience was like hell. How could he lose the midget so many times in two hours? Ichigo thought his hair would turn grey everytime he lost sight of the midget. By the time he found his girlfriend after two hours, he scolded and carried her home on his back. Let's just say that the night ended with bruised shins and no kisses at the end of the night.
Walking towards the entrance, Ichigo prayed to all of the death gods and anyone up in heaven that he would have a successful day with his girlfriend at the zoo. Dragging her to the ticket booth, Ichigo got one adult and kid ticket. He smirked as he got away with pretending that Rukia was a child. His wallet was happy when she didn't cost that much. 'Ha! Rukia can pass as a little kid. I hope that knocks her down.' Walking through the gates, Ichigo feels a strong force pulling him towards the first group of animals: Lions. "Oh Ichigo! Look at these creatures laying around. I remember seeing them in Science books at school. These are Li-ons. Why are they just laying around? The book said they were quite active animals." Rolling his eyes in a upwards, Ichigo bends down and explains into her ear. "Midget, these lions are always laying around. Here at the zoo, they just rest all day long until they are fed. I heard they like to eat little girls with big violet eyes." Feeling anger boil through her body, Rukia elbows Ichigo and tackles him to the ground. "Stupid idiot! Don't make fun of my height. You should know better than do that. I should feed you to the lions instead!" Stomping on his stomach to stop him from moving for a few minutes, Rukia runs off to a random place in the zoo. Ichigo groans and gets up so he could prepare for more torture from the midget.
On the other side of the zoo from Ichigo, Rukia walks around watching other animals interact. She has seen just about every animal ranging from lions, hippos, flamingos, bears, penguins, reptiles, zebras, and pandas. Making it around the giraffes, Rukia spots on animal she has never thought of seeing. Right in front of her eyes, she sees a gray elephant that is eating peanuts from a child's hand. Feeling excited seeing this scene, Rukia runs over towards the elephant. Raising her hand towards the elephant, she begins to pet it's head. Seeing this animal makes Rukia feel like she discovered something new that no one else has. 'I wonder what this animal could do? It's so much bigger than I expected!' Thinking of a great solution to get to know the animal more, Rukia seeks out for an elephant expert. "Excuse me, sir? Can you please inform me of this large animal over there? The gray ele- eleph. El-e-phant." Smiling up, she sees the older guy prepare for a story. "Why sure thing sweetie. The gray elephant over there is a wise animal. The elephant is a mammal from the order Proboscidea. Elephants can weigh up to 7,000 pounds. Starting today we are letting customers ride the elephants. Would you like to try?" Rukia's eyes fill with joy and she happily accepts the offer. Walking over to the gate, Rukia begins to climb the ladder to get onto the elephant. "Rukia, what are you doing on an elephant?!" Ichigo starts to run faster towards the girl climbing onto the elephant. "Don't you dare climb onto the elephant without me Rukia!"
Moving side to side relaxed Rukia as she happily sat on the elephant, but Ichigo was having the opposite emotion. He felt tensed being high up and moving in a constant motion. Feeling slightly sick, Ichigo decided to look down at the midget. 'Who ever thought that I, Ichigo Kurosaki, could get motion sickness on this dumb elephant ride?' Wrapping his arms tighter around her waist, Ichigo attempted to calm down his aching stomach. "Ichigo what's wrong? I thought you would like this wonderful ride!" Rukia slowly rubbed his arms to comfort his body. She could feel the tense muscles along his arms and the scowl on his face. "I'm fine Rukia, just promise me we will never ride elephants again." The elephant came to a halt by the ladder and Ichigo dashed off. Finding Ichigo by a trashcan, Rukia smiles and rubs his back. "Baka, you should of told me you get motion sickness. I promise to not take you on an elephant ride." relief flooded Ichigo's whole body as he slumped in front of the trashcan. Soon the teens look up to hear a bunch of kids, that included his sisters. "Ichi-nii! Come ride the elephants with us! You too, Rukia-nee." Laughing at Ichigo's terrified face, Rukia laughs and run towards the twins. "Let's ride the elephants!"
