Rosario Diaries: Blood And Moon-Chapter 5
Two weeks had passed and Ichigo was happier than usual. It was because it was the middle of the week and today, he had most of his classes with Moka. And for a bonus, it had been a few days, or so with him not having to deal with Hollows. Not that he was complaining, it was just nice to be a normal teenage boy every now and then. Although, he would still keep his gaurd up for any reiatsu and still watch over Kon, but for the most part, he would have free time on his hands, which gave him more time to try and get to know Moka. During the last few days, they became friends and talked a lot. It seemed almost natural the way they connected.
As Ichigo was walking into the classs, Moka was sitting next to his empty desk, happily talking to Orihime and Tatsuki. When she got a glimspe of him, she put on a happy smile. "Good moring, Kurosaki-kun!"
"Good morning, Moka..." He look at her and gave her a smile.
Tatsuki quirked an eyebrow at this. 'Ichigo is actaully smiling for once, let alone a pretty girl. I wonder what happened to him.'
The teacher came in, which gave the signal that it was class time as everyone around each other got into their assigned seats. As class went on, Ichigo found it hard for himself to stay focus on certain things, that was going on in front of him. He checked to see if anyone around him was completely oblivious to his presence, before looking at Moka from the corner of his eye. She didn't really seemed to being paying attention to the lesson, seeing that she was only writing in her diary. Ichigo has always wondered about that little, pink book of hers, that she always wrote in. Everyday in school, he would find writing in it, not even caring about what was going down. He knew it wasn't something, he should look through. It was Moka's, not his, so he didn't have any right to look through, without permission. 'I wonder what's so special about that diary of yours, Moka.' His thoughts were suddenly shattered away, when the bell signaled that it was time for lunch. Moka followed Orihime out, not even noticing something dropping out of her bag. However, Ichigo took notice and picked up whatever object, that the pinkette left behind. He stared at it and begin to examine it. It was a pink book, that had the words "Moka's Diary" carved on the front of the object in light pink words. Ichigo wanted to look through it, but deep down inside, he knew he'd regret later if he did. It was none of his business, so he shouldn't look through it.
At lunch, Ichigo was silently eating his lunch with his friends, keeping Moka's diary from falling into the hands of Keigo, who desprately wanted to take a peep through and check, if Moka had the hots for him, or not. "Oh, come on, dude! If you have her diary, then that must mean we could probably find out, if she likes one of us, or not."
"No way."
As Ichigo instantly said that, Keigo began to fuss and wail. "Why not?" Ichigo didn't give an answer, but continued to eat his lunch. "Well, if she dropped her diary and you have it, how come you're not looking through it, then?" Keigo asked, with a huffy tone.
"Because it's her diary and it wouldn't be right, if I read one of her secrets aloud. If I did that, then you'd probably open up your big mouth and go around telling everyone about Moka." Ichigo explained, glaring at Keigo. "Anyway, you're just wasting your time. She probably doesn't even like you, or anyone around here, so why don't you give that crazy mind of yours a rest."
Muzuiro stared at Keigo, with a rightful expression. "Ichigo's right, you know. It wouldn't be right to pry into people's privacy, let alone a girl's. Besides, Ichigo's not the type to do crazy things, that a guy would want to do."
Keigo gave out a sad sigh of guilt. "You're right. I'm sorry." Keigo then had another another idea. "But can I just peek through it, just one little peek..."
"I told you no." Ichigo rejected, whacking his goofy friend on the head.
When school ended, Ichigo didn't waste any time searching for Moka, when he finally found her walking alone near the gates. "Hey! Moka, wait up!" Just as commanded, the girl spun around to find him jogging towards her. Ichigo dug through his bag and pulled out something. "Here, you dropped this." he said, holding out her diary.
Moka's face sparkled with happiness. "Oh, thank goodness, you've found it!" She gently took it out of Ichigo's grasp and smiled at Ichigo. "Thank you so much, Kurosaki-kun! I was looking all over for this."
Ichigo could only smile, with a shrug. "It's was no problem. It's the only thing I could do, considering it's yours." The two of them began their walking home. "How do you like the school, so far?" he asked.
"Well it's different, than some of the other schools, I went to. I'm not used to this type of attention, but I just like how everyone is so friendly." She replied.
"Yeah, if you like a bunch of horny assholes." Ichigo mumbled, Moka laughed as she heard him.
"Well, you have nice friends. Like for an example; Orihime, Chad, Uryu, Tatsuki, Asano-kun and Mizuiro, in some of my other classes. They appear to be good people."
"Some of them, but I have to say about the others...they're just crazy sometimes." Ichigo replied.
"You know...I used to have friends like that myself. They were just about as crazy as you said your friends were. But...they were always there for me, whenever I needed someone to talk to. That's what friends are for, right? They're always by your side, whenever you need them?" Moka smiled softly.
Ichigo seemed confused at first, but smiled softly at what she said. "Yeah, you're right. That is what friends are for."
"Kurosaki-kun?"
"Yeah?"
Moka stared down at her feet, shifting with her hands nervously. "Are you busy on certain days?"
Ichigo looked at Moka, curious. "No, why?"
"Well, I was wondering...if you could...um..." Moka trailed off, not wanting to finish the rest. "...could um... could you probably tutor me?" she asked, with a shy face.
Ichigo face turned red at the thought of him tutoring Moka, but turned his face away, so she wouldn't see it. "Uh, sure. What do you need help in?"
"Well, I'm kind of falling behind in math, so I was wondering, if you're any good at math."
Ichigo could only smirk in response. "It's no problem. So when do you wanna start?"
Moka gave Ichigo a smile, her cheeks flustered. "How does tomorrow sound?"
Ichigo gave a shrug. "Doesn't sound bad."
"Well, this is my house." she turned to Ichigo and smiled softly. "Thank you, Kurosaki-kun, I really appreciate you walking me home."
"No problem, I enjoyed walking and talking with you." Ichigo replied.
"Me too, perhaps we can do it again." She commented.
"Yeah, definitely."
"Goodnight, Kurosaki-kun, see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight, Moka." Ichigo replied as she entered her home and closed the door. He then sighed and began to walk home, which really wasn't that far, considering that she lives next to him.
"I'm home-" he was cut off, when he felt a kick connect with the side of his face, sending him to the floor.
"You let your gaurd down again. Didn't I tell you, that you always have to stay alert when you enter a room? And you're late for dinner again." Isshin said with his hands upon his hips.
Ichigo quickly recovered and stood up, glaring at his father. "You bastard! Is that anyway to welcome your own son after he has walked someone home safely?" he asked, angrily while getting into his father's face.
"Someone?" Isshin asked dumbfounded and confused. "You walked someone home?"
"Yeah, you don't have to repeat it twice." Ichigo said.
"Someone, hmm..." Isshin pondered, putting a hand to his chin, trying to find out who this "someone" is. A thought suddenly hit him like a hammer that was a nail. "This someone wouldn't happen to be a girl would it?"
Ichigo piped up in surprise and fear, knowing fully well that his father hit it right on the nail. "She's just a friend, I just walked her home just to make sure she's safe, nothing more." he replied
"Friend? And what is this "friend''s name?"
"Her name's Moka, she lives right next to us. So, don't go getting any funny ideas, because we're just friends." Ichigo said.
"Well if it's a friend, you should have them over for dinner tomorrow. Besides you should know the rules, you can't be home alone with a young lady." his father commented.
"Easy for you to say, old man. Last time I checked, that rule didn't exist, when I brought Rukia and Orihime around."
"So your father wants me to come over for dinner, after school?" Moka asked with a confused look plastered upon her features.
"Yeah..." Ichigo scratched the back of his head, nervously. He was trying his best to tell Moka, how his dad wanted her over for dinner. "well, you see...when I mentioned that I was suppose to tutor you today, he just thought it would be polite to invite you to dinner, since we're friends and all. Typical bastard." he gloward.
Moka just giggled. "Your dad seems nice."
"Yeah, but he's a real pain in my ass, I'll tell you that much."
"Well, I guess that's his way of showing love."
Ichigo just scoffed.
After school...
The two of them were at Ichigo's house having dinner with his family. His family were behaving and not asking Moka a billion questions. Ichigo thought the night was going pretty well. No one embarrassed him and Moka seemed to be enjoying herself.
"Moka-chan is really pretty." Yuzu said.
"That's why Ichigo wants us to be nice to her." Karin smirked.
"So Moka, how long have you been in town?" Isshin asked between bites.
"Since last week." She said, digging her chopsticks in her food. She went to take a bite out of it, when Isshin suddenly striked up another question.
"Why'd you move here?"
"My parents had got a new job here, so they decided to move here." she answered, again trying to take a bite out of her food.
"Where did you move from?"
"I moved here from Kyoto." Once again, she attempted to eat her food.
"Where do you live?"
A vein perched itself on top of Ichigo's head. "Damn it! Would you stop with the questions, Old Man and let her eat for once!" Ichigo lectured, mutiple veins popping on his head.
"Yeah, Dad. Her food is probably getting cold and she's probably hungry." agreed Yuzu, her face filled with worry.
"Oh no, it's okay. I'm not really that hungry." She protested, waving her hands back and forth.
"No, I made this food for the family and especially for you. Go ahead and dig in."
Not really wanting to offend the girl, Moka finally ate her food and seemed to really enjoy it. "Anyway, I actaully live-"
"We know. You live right next to us." answered Karin.
Moka, who seemed a little shocked on the inside, just smiled. "Well, I guess that I won't have to explain."
"How do you like Karakura, so far?" Isshin asked.
"I love it here. I like how everyone is nice and welcoming, that I've been able to make new friends."
"But don't you miss your friends?" Yuzu asked.
"I do, but we still talk and try to make plans to see each other. But I've met a lot of new friends, like your brother." Moka said looking over at Ichigo, who seemed stunned for words.
"Aww, I wanna be friends with you too." Yuzu said. "We can hang out together, cook food and eat it together. Ohh and go shopping..."
"Enough of that, Yuzu. The girl is too old to play with you." Karin interrupted.
"I really don't mind." Moka said. "I'm really not that old. I've noticed a few scars and scrapes on your knees and forearms, you wouldn't happen to play sports?"
"Yeah I play soccer. But why do you ask?" Karin asked, in return.
"I have a few scars, myself." Moka smiled down at Karin. "I play soccer with my youngest sister on free occasions." Though, half of it was true.
"Sweet! Wanna play sometime? Are you any good?" Karin asked excited.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but no. Moka is busy with school and follow your own advice, she is too old to play with you." Ichigo stated.
"Ichigo, you jerk. You just want to play with her by yourself." Ichigo turned deep shades of red. Suddenly he jumped up from his seat and grabbed a hold of Moka's hand.
"Well, would you look at the time. I guess it's time to study before it gets late.." He grabbed her bag and headed quickly upstairs.
"Thanks for dinner, Mr. Kurosaki!" Moka called behind her.
"Leave the door open, son!" His father yelled, as they heard the door shut.
Ichigo leaned against it and sighed. Moka laughed at him. "I'm sorry about my family. They don't know how to act around new people."
"There's nothing to be sorry about, I like your family, they're sweet." Moka smiled.
"Yeah, you live with them too long, you'll see what I mean." She started to look around his room and take everything What really surprised her, was that he kept his room clean, but she could still smell his musky male scent in the room. She expected to be a messy room, with various junk and posters plastered on the wall, but she was dead wrong. "Sorry, if you think it's a mess."
"No, it's great. It feels comfortable and very clean for a guy." she replied.
"Thanks." He smiled. He watch the beautiful goddess before him, sat on his bed looking around his room. Soft features graced her face and her lips seemed so small and kissable. Not only was she amazingly beautiful, but was a dream that he himself and every guy would want to have. He indeed felt lucky to have met her. He felt himself begin to realize that he liked her. It wasn't because she was beautiful, it was because that she was different from the other girls out there in the world. She was smart, funny, gentle and even talented... 'Wait wait wait! What am I saying? I can't like her already, if she hasn't been here that long.'
"Kurosaki-kun?" called a soft voice. Ichigo quickly rushed himself back to reality, to see Moka staring up at him. "Do you want to get started?"
"Uh...sure. Let's get this over with."
Moka pulled out her math notebook, while Ichigo did the same. Soon the two of them were engrossed in math and Ichigo was determined for Moka to understand why she was following behind. "Is this how you do it?" she questioned, writing down the problem. Ichigo watched her carefully and smirked, impressed.
"Yeah, that's right. You got it." Moka could only smile.
"Am I keeping you from your homework, Kurosaki-kun?"
"Nah. I just have to study for a test, that's all. It's fine."
"Ichigo, if I am-"
"Like I said, it's fine."
Moka could only smile. "Well okay, then." About to head back to her studies, she picked up her pencil, only to have it fall out of her hands and roll itself right towards Ichigo's closet. Moka walked over and picked it up. She took a step foward, only to feel her foot give out and fall foward. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the hard impact to meet her body. However, it never came. Instead of a hard impact like she expected, she felt a softer one. Moka opened her eyes to see chocolate eyes staring in her emerald ones. She could that she was okay, but something definitely didn't feel right. Something soft was touching her lips and it wasn't the floor. (Obviously) Moka's eyes could only widened in shock and horror. 'No...no it c-couldn't be... Oh no...' "Oh no" was right. Her lips were touching Ichigo's and to make matters worse, she was laying on top of him! Moka quickly roused up and frantically started apologizing. "Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Moka, it's not your fault..."
"Yes it is! I just stole your first kiss! Oooh, I'm so stupid."
Ichigo could only let out a sigh, while blushing. "You're not stupid. It was just an accident, it's nothing to fuss over." To be completely truthful, he didn't really care about his first kiss. The only thing he cared about was protecting the people he cared about and getting finished with school.
The door suddenly opened to reveal Karin. "Guys, I heard a noise. What's going on-" she cut herself off at what she was seeing in front of her. Moka was lying on top of Ichigo...on the floor. The thing that Karin could do, was smirk. "I'll leave you two alone, then."
"Karin, wait a second! It's not what you think! Hey!" Ichigo shouted to the girl. "Come back here!"
I know, that was slightly unimformative. Sorry. If you're wondering why Moka always write in her diary, you should actaully look at the title of the story, and you'll know why it's called that. Oh and I kind of like that the long reviews that some of you are leaving behind. So I want some of you to keep it up, it's kind of influencing. If you're wondering if that was Ichigo and Moka's first kiss, yes it was, but not technically. It was accidental, meaning that it was not real, if they're friends. I'm thinking about doing a fanfic based off Stephen King's novels and movies, Carrie, because I love his work. But for right now, I have to focus.
