This is Week 5: Challege 1 ~ part 11: I'm working with each flower for each Gotei Thirteen division as well as the meaning. (21/124+)
Summary: Orihime's imagination runs a little wild.
Notes: I came up with an idea and made a few adjustments so it wouldn't be a crack-fic. Well... Orihime's imagination is of the crack-fic genre wo you can probably imagine what the fix is.
Yarrow
~fight~
Ichigo let out a sigh as he set his school bag down onto the top of his desk. Orihime looked up as he did so. "Something the matter Kurosaki-kun?"
The orange haired teen looked up, a frown on his face. "Oh... yesterday I had to deal with an incident between Toshiro and Jinta."
"Really? Why?"
"Toshiro found out that Jinta has a crush on Yuzu."
M
Orihime was in a place with big square mats that were elevated off the ground by a couple of feet. The area was surrounded by leathery ropes. She raised up her hand. "We have here the fight of the century! In the far corner we have Jinta-kun the Ball Brawler from Urahara's Shop and in the other corner we have Toshiro-kun, Captain Ice from Soul Society! Today they will be contending for the heart of the beautiful Miss Yuzu-chan!"
She then chopped her hand down and watched as the two came forward. Jinta was dressed in red boxing shorts and had red boxing gloves while Toshiro had blue boxing shorts with snowflakes on it and his boxing gloves where the same in design. Jinta sneered at Toshiro. "You're such a pipsqueak. I'll win this for sure."
The two danced back and forth and suddenly the scene switched to a western town and the two were getting ready to draw their guns and they pulled them out, only to suddenly switch to light sabers and finally back to the boxing ring where Toshiro punched Jinta out.
M
"Um... Orihime... that's not how it happened. And Toshiro doesn't have a crush on Yuzu."
"If he doesn't have a crush on Yuzu then why defend her?"
"Because he respects me and also has a crush on Karin and neither one of us was there so he stepped up. Jinta sure was pissed off about the whole thing."
"But there was no fighting?"
"No... there was no fighting beyond a verbal match."
M
Toshiro stood up from the seat at Urahara's table and headed back towards the storefront. His arms were behind his head as his body was for once relaxed. Clean up of the latest incident wasn't at all problematic. He stopped short when he saw the red headed member of the shop up at the front but shook his head thinking nothing of the situation. He made to move his foot forward, only to stop short when someone stepped through the door of the shop.
The small female stopped short upon seeing Toshiro standing there. "Toshiro-kun? It's been awhile since I've seen you."
"Of all the people to run into. I'm glad Matsumoto isn't here as the two of them would talk about that of all things."
"Ah... Yuzu-chan..." Jinta spoke then. "How are you doing?"
Toshiro's head tilted to the side, looking at the boy and wondering why the other boy was acting strangely. The small female smiled at the boy. "I am doing quite well thank you."
"The usual order of sweets?" The red haired youth blurted the words out causing the white haired boy to look at him.
"Yes. I'm still surprised I can get such a good deal on candy here."
"Umm... yes... hold on." Jinta turned towards Toshiro and then walked right up to him, grabbing his arm and tugging him into the back area. "Could you just leave?"
"Why?" Two bright teal eyes narrowed.
"Because... as if I can talk to her in front of her!"
"Kurosaki is rather easy to talk to despite the fact she is annoying."
"Excuse me!" Jinta suddenly placed his face right up to Toshiro's. "Yuzu-chan is not annoying! She's sweet, cute and the most amazing girl ever!"
"Wait..." The smaller boy frowned. "It sounds like you have a crush on her."
"You really don't have room to talk."
"Shut up Hyorinmaru."
"I... I don't know what you're talking about."
Toshiro's frown deepened and he then found himself poking Jinta in the chest. "Now you see here..."
M
"So Toshiro got mad at Jinta and because he also has a crush on Yuzu-chan?" Orihime bubbled over.
"Um... no." Ichigo frowned. "Why would you think that Inoue? Particularly after I told you that Toshiro doesn't have a crush on her."
"Well... why else would he..." The female frowned.
"Could you let me finish the story. All right?"
M
"Now you see here. I am fully aware of the fact you have a crush on Kurosaki. Be very aware that if you try anything on Kurosaki's younger sister you will wish you never were born."
"Excuse me?" Jinta got into Toshiro's face. "What do you think you can do about it? You're a lot smaller then me."
The white haired boy's mouth suddenly twitched. "Smaller? That may be but I am stronger then you. Don't forget the fact that I can freeze your butt to the floor and don't forget that I'm also stronger then you. I'm not necessarily the person that you have to worry about. Kurosaki likely wouldn't like to find out that you're messing with his little sister and Kurosaki wouldn't like the fact you are messing with her twin."
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Excuse me?"
"You just called all three of them by their last name."
"Nice come back. Not."
Jinta's mouth twitched. "Now see here. You're just being all blustery because you actually think that you could win her over."
M
"Well... if Jinta insists that Toshiro has a crush on her then he certainly does." Orihime frowned.
"No... I'm telling you that Toshiro doesn't have a crush on Yuzu."
"Yes. But he's defending her from Jinta's advances."
"To be honest Jinta isn't exactly making advances at her as of yet. For one thing he struggles to speak to her. Second, he has to deal with me and Karin. And Toshiro."
"But seriously... why would Toshiro..."
"Just let me finish my story!"
M
"Say what?" Toshiro frowned at the boy. "Why would you assume that I have a crush on Yuzu? I'm simply saying that if Kurosaki or Kurosaki isn't here that you will have me to deal with. How hard is that to understand."
"But why would I have to deal with you. That makes absolutely no sense at all."
"This is why I'm smarter then you. Most people actually would get what I'm saying." Toshiro narrowed his eyes at the boy and proceeded to move his finger to poke Jinta in the chest again. Yuzu peeked her head through the door causing him to stop what he was doing.
"Are you all right Toshiro?"
"Why would you ask?"
"I called Karin and let her know you were here. She says she'll be here in a couple of minutes. I'm going to go and select the candy that I want."
Jinta and Toshiro stopped short. The red haired youth snapped out of it first and poked Toshiro in the chest. "Exactly what do you mean about you dealing with me if I do anything to Yuzu-chan? Seriously. You have no business saying that you'll kick my ass if I do anything to her. The person I have to fear in that regard is..."
"Me?" The boy's turned to see that Karin was looking at them, their arms folded. "And Toshiro. What is this about you doing something to Jinta if he does anything to Yuzu? I can very well take care of her and so can Ichi-nii."
"I'm telling him that if the two of you aren't there he has to deal with me."
"You little... seriously..."
Yuzu popped her head into the back room. "Hey? Toshiro, are you going to be eating at our place or are you going to take Karin out on a date?"
Toshiro felt his cheeks flush up. "Wait... I've told you that we're not dating."
Jinta blinked a couple of times. "Wait... so are you telling me that you have a crush on Karin?" The boy burst into laughter.
M
"I think that you're pulling my leg." Orihime frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Why would Toshiro-kun have a crush on Karin-chan. I mean... I don't think they're really compatible."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... um."
Ichigo let out a deep sigh. "I've seen the two interact with each other. They actually balance each other out quite well. I think Toshiro knows this as well, though he isn't quite ready to admit it. I think it's in part because he knows he's a Shinigami and she isn't. He's also getting used to the concept as well. I also trust him far more then I trust Jinta, so if he were to date either of my sisters I would be fine with it. Now... let me finish the story.
M
"Excuse me..." Toshiro narrowed his eyes. "Why do you think that is so funny?"
"Her of all people? She's a tomboy for crying out loud." Jinta continued to laugh. "What?"
"This is why I say again that I'm smarter then you."
"I'm not sure what is going on." Yuzu looked from Karin, to Jinta to Toshiro hoping for an explanation.
"He... but..." Jinta frowned at Toshiro. "You have a crush on her."
"I never said that I did. Kurosaki is nice, smart and an amazing person."
"But..."
Karin let out a sigh. "Jinta... I suggest that you stop thinking about it as it is obviously making your brain hurt. Come on Toshiro."
M
"That's it?" Orihime frowned at him. "I mean..."
"What were you expecting?"
"You said that you had to deal with an incident with Toshiro and Jinta and yet you didn't have anything to do with that."
"Yes... well... I wasn't there at the time. There is a bit more to the story."
M
Toshiro walked behind Karin and Yuzu. Every so often he would look over his shoulder and look for the person who was following behind him. Something bothered him and he had the feeling exactly what was bothering him. A flash of red confirmed the matter and eventually they arrived at the house. The downstairs living area was empty. The boy looked up the stairs. "I'm going to go and see your brother."
He then headed up the stairs, only to hear the doorbell ring. The boy cursed under his breath and turned around to see Yuzu go and answer the door. "Ah! Jinta-kun! Do you wish to stay at dinner too?"
The white haired boy turned and headed up the stairs wishing that the red head hadn't taken the time to follow behind. He heard the stairs behind him creak and the next thing he knew he was in a headlock. "Exactly what is your problem?"
"We didn't finish our conversation."
The white haired boy frowned, thinking it over. "I thought it was very well finished."
"You made me look bad in front of Yuzu-chan!"
"You..." Toshiro watched as Jinta opened first the door to Karin and Yuzu's room and then the door to the bathroom on the other side of the hall.
"Here's what I want." The boy tipped the seat of the toilet up and began to push Toshiro inside.
"What are you..." The smaller boy suddenly gripped the edges of the toilet. "What are you doing!" He thought to himself. "Great..."
"You should just beat him up."
"And kill him in the process? And considering the fact I don't understand his logic at all?"
"Shush! I'm pissed off enough as it is with you!"
"Yes... but..." The words came out as bubbles as Toshiro felt his head dunked into the toilet. "He stuck my head into..." Then came the sound of the toilet flushing and Toshiro's mind went blank. He did though hear Ichigo shouting and the sound of Jinta yelping. Someone pulled him out of the toilet and tried shaking him, trying to get him to snap out of it.
M
"Oh... poor Toshiro-kun. I didn't know Jinta-kun could be so mean."
"Well... Jinta didn't realize Toshiro would have such a bad reaction."
"You mean Toshiro-kun is allergic to the toilet."
"No... if he was allergic to the toilet he wouldn't be able to use it. No..."
M
Ichigo heard the sound of Toshiro yelling and then the sound of someone he never expected to be in the Kurosaki household. He stood up from his desk, setting his pencil down. Opening the door he saw the door to the bathroom open and let out a deep sigh. Walking over to the room he was greeted by the site of Jinta dunking Toshiro's head in the toilet and flushing the toilet.
The orange haired teen yanked on Jinta's shoulder before giving him a back fist into nose. He pulled Toshiro up and saw that the smaller boy's eye's had glazed over. "Of all! What are you doing here Jinta! No... seriously... just get out of the house."
Ichigo turned back to Toshiro, only to realize that the red head was still there. Tugging the small boy behind him, he headed down the stairs, his finger pocking into the boy's chest. Jinta tumbled down the stairs. Karin looked up while Yuzu remained busy in the kitchen. "Ichi-nii? What happened?"
"What happened? For some reason this idiot decided to stick Toshiro's head into the toilet!"
Karin let out a sigh. "Oh... you're still going on about that Jinta?"
"What do you mean! Your brother punched me in the nose!"
"You stuck Toshiro's head in the toilet. You rather deserved it."
"For someone who said he could best me he sure didn't!"
"That's what this is about and not that?" Karin shook her head.
Ichigo sighed. "What is going on?"
Karin titled her head at Yuzu. "Toshiro told Jinta that he wasn't to do something."
"Oh..." The orange haired teen scratched his head. "There is a difference between defending oneself you know and defending another person. However... once Toshiro comes too you may very well get even more of what is coming to you."
The darker haired twin looked at her best friend. "Ichi-nii? Why isn't Toshiro snapping out of it?"
"He's..." Ichigo let out a sigh. "Hey... could you watch him for a bit and punch him if he moves? And you know I mean two different hims there?"
"Sure... sure..."
The boy headed back up the stairs. He grabbed from his clothing a rather big shirt and then headed into the bathroom. He grabbed two towels and shampoo as well as soap. When he got down both Toshiro and Jinta hadn't moved. The orange haired teen grabbed the smaller boy and tugged him over to the sink in the kitchen. Pushing a stool over he lifted the boy up.
He then pulled off the boy's shirt and wrapped one of the towels around the boy's shoulders. He then turned on the sink water and let it warm up. He then tipped Toshiro's head over and let the warm hair wash over the boy's head. He turned to glare at Jinta. "You know... if Toshiro really wanted to he could easily kill you. The reason he didn't fight you back was because he knew he might seriously hurt you."
"That... well! What the hell is the wimp doing just staying like that."
"He's likely thinking about what a toilet is supposed to be used for." Ichigo poured some shampoo into his hand and then began to put it into the small boy's hair and then rinsed it. He repeated it two to three times and then washed the boy's face with the soap. Toshiro slowly began to move and the physically older male turned off the water and began to dry off the boy's hair.
Toshiro stood up, glaring at Jinta only to have a rather large shirt pulled over his head.
M
"Ah! So that is the incident you had to deal with?"
"I made it clear to Jinta that he isn't allowed around the place at all."
"I can't blame you."
"Well... he's also bee following Toshiro around."
"So he can do it again?"
"No... what he did made Yuzu mad at him as well as Karin. He also didn't know Toshiro would react the way he did. Toshiro on the other hand is finding the fact Jinta is following him quite creepy."
