Hitsugaya looked at them expectantly and Renji, at length, began to talk:
“Well, you see, it went something like this…” he cleared his throat, shifted, winced and cleared his throat again.
“……Well?” Hitsugaya prompted.
“Er, right. Well, Ichigo got called out by some punks from school a year ahead an’ we go an’ follow ‘em to make sure he’ll be okay. ‘Cause, you know, we’re on the same side an’ all. ‘S what we do.” Renji paused, probably for some dramatic effect that wound up lost on his audience. “So, you know, we just kinda hung back an’ watched an’ Ichigo was out there, kickin’ ass. I mean, these guys were nothin’, but there’s a group of ‘em against just Ichigo. So me an’ Ikkaku, we didn’t think he needed any help, but we’re just there. Just in case.”
The dramatic pauses were getting annoying. “Just spit it out already.”
“Yeah, uh… So Ichigo’s kickin’ ass, but he’s movin’ slower than usual. He’s not as fast as he was against us and some of these guys get in hits. I mean, nothin’ major, just enough to wince at an’ so we decide we gotta, you know…” Renji rubbed the back of his neck. “Cheer him on?”
“You cheered him on?” The two shinigami nodded. “Dare I ask how?”
“Well, you know…”
“Makin’ fun of him.” Ikkaku put in.
“Being helpful.” Renji articulated sharply. “We were being helpful and trying to encourage him.”
“Yeah, ‘cause, you know, ‘He’s got a bat, dumbass!’ is real encouragin’.”
“Hey, I didn’t hear you sayin’ anythin’ helpful either-“
“Just get on with it!”
They winced. “Yes, Captain.” Renji cleared his throat again. “So, anyway, Ichigo started yellin’ at us an’ we yell back an’ then he says he’ll kick both our asses AGAIN an’, you know, we couldn’t let that slide an’ er… I don’t really remember what was said but Ichigo kicked Ikkaku, so he punched Ichigo in the head an’ I smack Ikkaku ‘cause, you know, we’re supposed to be on the same side here an’… Things sorta degenerated from there.”
Hitsugaya gave them a long, slow look. “And these ‘punks’?”
“Oh, well we kicked their asses first.”
“Yeah, this wasn’t some open invitation. ‘S just between us three.”
The captain sighed heavily. “Let me get this straight. You followed Ichigo to a fight, tried being helpful by insulting him, got into an argument and subsequently a three-way free-for-all which is why I’m currently holding a medical bill from the Kurosaki Clinic. Is that pretty much it?”
The two shifted uncomfortably. “Geez, Captain.” Renji said. “When you put it like that, it sounds kinda juvenile.”
“It WAS juvenile you IDIOTS!” He snapped. “We’re supposed to be allies!”
They shuffled their feet and mumbled out a ‘sorry, Captain’.
He, in turn, rubbed a hand over his face. “Just… go to your rooms. Right now.”
“Yes, Captain.” They hurried past.
“I told ya I shoulda told it. I coulda made up somethin’ good an’-“
“What, like that motorcycle gang shit you were feedin’ Ichigo’s dad?”
“He bought it!”
“He’s got the mentality of a fuckin’ five-year-old!”
“Do I have to separate you two??”
Even at the other end of the hall he could see them blanch. “No, Captain!”
“Then get in there and shut your mouths!” He added quickly. “And I’m checking your homework tonight so get it done for once!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Hitsugaya let out a ragged sighed. “Matsumoto.”
The blonde poked her head into the room. “Yes, Captain?”
“Why did we bring those two along?”
“Because in a fight, they get to play decoy.”
“Ah, right. Good call.” Pleased at the answer, Histugaya asked, “What’s for dinner?”

Date: 2005-09-20 02:06 am (UTC)Trust me, I seriously believe Ichigo, Renji and Ikkaku are going to get along (to quote PTerry) "like a house on fire. There may be no survivors." Hitsugaya, seriously, are there to remind them 'we have work to do so STOP KILLING EACH OTHER!' XDD
