十八番 - time to move on and look forward

[chappy_wuv]

Naruto's left. I... I really hope he's doing well, wherever he is now. ...Back at the Christmas party, he told me 'next time'... Now I feel really bad that I messed up the whole "mistletoe" thing. *blinks suddenly* I wonder if he liked me. ... *shrugs it off* Heh, of course not

Ah...Thank you for your congratulations.

...And I agree with you on Silv. I was one of the people responsible for apprehending him, actually.

...Oh, I don't think we've met before. What's your name?

[chappy_wuv]

*a little excited to be meeting the tournament champion*

My name is Rukia. Kuchiki Rukia.

...And you also have my thanks for helping to lock Silv away. It is fortunate that the winner is on the side of the community as well.

[future_defender]

Nice to meet you, Rukia.

To be honest, I don't like to fight very much. The main reason I entered the tournament was so that I could test my capabilities against the other people here. But I won't hesitate to fight to protect others.

[[EDIT: Typo fixed.]]

[chappy_wuv]

((oh god, must Rukia have potential crushes on ALL your characters?! XD))

You don't like...to fight? ...That's surprising. Especially to have made it so far in the tournament.

...to protect others...

[tattooed_brows]

*caught off-guard by Rukia's demand* Uh...Onsen dinner party? Or maybe one of the new ships or something?

[chappy_wuv]

Hmmm...

Not bad. Let's see what Ichigo has to say.

[bubblyhealer]

I'm . . . sorry about Naruto, Rukia. But I'm sure that you're going to be happy with all the new people here, right? Yeah yeah?

((R-Rukia-mun, I need to talk to you about something ;-; If you wouldn't mind (you don't have to, really, not if you don't want to), c-could you contact me soon . . . ?))

[chappy_wuv]

*slowly grows a smile on her face* ...Yes, I hope so. I'm...I'm glad you came here, too, Serra-san.

You helped a lot of people during the tournament...when you weren't busy causing a ruckus.

((sure, contact is good! 8D I shall hunt down your AIM or something through your application with Serra... I'm irisbelltree))

[bubblyhealer]

. . . What do you mean, causing a ruckus? There as no ruckus-causing! It was you who was always disturbing me during my healingness time, anyway. I mean, sure, the dead were piling up, but they're dead, they can wait a little longer!

((:D!! Added. Though you don't seem to be on AIM right now. I am tehpluminu on AIM, anyway. Now I feel like I should add something like 'nice to meet you' though the circumstances completely do not call for it.))

[chappy_wuv]

...Serra-san. I hope you didn't forget my friend Ichigo was one of those "piling up" dead.

[aboveheaven]

Ah, you must be Rukia-san. I believe Abarai-kun mentioned you. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[chappy_wuv]

*completely taken off guard, responds without a thought* Oh, yes that's me--

!!!

*stops, staring up at him wide-eyed* This spiritual energy... It's as strong as Brother's...!

This must be...

[aboveheaven]

Is something the matter?

[chappy_wuv]

I'm sorry, I.... *her thoughts are having trouble coming to her, the spiritual energy is still very surprising*

...Um...Would you be...Sosuke-san?

Once he confirms it, just find an excuse to leave...

[orange_renge]

*also surprised* I dunno....what Renji said? I'm no good at this kinda thing.

[chappy_wuv]

*POINTS* Think harder!!

At the very least, decide between an dinner party at the Kiokushitaka onsen or going on the new boats they have.

((although, with the Chinese New Year event coming up, that may delay our little event...

and btw, I'm not really planning anything Teh Hueg; Hokuto just said she wanted to get to know better these friends of Rukia's who she keeps whining about all the time XD))

[orange_renge]

I told you I'm no good at this kind of thing! You decide something!

[chappy_wuv]

Tch, fine.

If I decide, you won't complain about what it is?
