More Than Friends (Ichigo One-Shot)

What you look like:

Ichigo and I had been best friends for as long as I could remember. My family had lived next door to his family after all. So it was only to be expected that we became such great friends. But over the years I found myself growing more and more attached to Ichigo. I’ve just started to think and believe that I may be in love with Ichigo.

“It’s Amazing how I’m back in Karakura town and still haven’t seen a single sign of Ichigo ANYWHERE!” I said to myself as I began to stare out a window. Ichigo had gone missing a few days ago. Orihime, Uryu, Chad, Rukia, and Renji had no clue where he went, and I was beginning to worry about him. I missed him terribly. Urahara and Yoruichi said that there was nothing to worry about and that Ichigo was fine, but I just didn’t like being without him for too long.

Now completely board with the oh-so-familiar view out the window, I created my microphone head set. I lifted my fingers gracefully high above to where my right ear was and slowly dragged it down to where my mouth was. As I did this a bright silvery object began to appear. Once my hand was past my mouth, the glowing figure around the whole right side of my face finally took a solid form. This was my most precious microphone set.

You see, I’m just a regular human. My name is Hamasaki Monika. And unlike strength or Healing abilities like Orihime and Chad have, my powers are very different. I always enjoyed singing when I was younger and as the years grew on, my voice got more powerful. Living in Karakura Town heightened my spiritual powers and awareness, so my voice works on a spiritual level. They say that you sing from your soul, right? Anyways, the Microphone that I use amplifies my voice and my singing so that my voice becomes so sharp that it can cut, slice, or do anything a sword can. It can pierce through skin, organs, tissue, and my voice can even confuse or stun my enemies with a simple pitch switch. I call my ability Songu no Kokoro to Konpaku.

I soon began to sing to myself softly, in hopes to try to get my mind off of Ichigo’s sudden disappearance.

“Otoko no ko wa onna no ko no koto itsumo oikaketeru
Ichi-nichi-juu onna no ko no koto bakari kangaeteru
Dakedo otoko no ko wa yappari sukoshi baka de
Zen zen onna no ko no kimochi nante hora wakaranai mitai
Uu hontou ni dame yo ne obaka-san
Oshiete hoshii no obakasan-san
Sou kono yo de ichi-ban
Taisetsuna koto wa
Yappari taimingu dato omou kedo...nanchite na
Onna no ko mo otoko no ko no koto naze ka suki ni naru no
Hi-to-ban-juu nemurenai nante kurai muchuu ni naru
Dakedo otoko no ko wa yappari itsumo baka de
Zen zen onna no ko no kokoro nante mada wakaranai mitai
Nee, hontou ni hontou ni obaka-san
Oshiete ageyo ka obaka-san
Sou kono yo de ichiban
Taisetsuna koto wa
Zettai hazushicha ikenai koto wa ne
Yappari taimingu dato omou deshou
Sou suki dato iu no mo deeto wo suru no mo
Nani wo suru no demo
Uu kisu toka suru no mo sayonara iu no mo donna to ki ni demo
Sou kono yo de ichi-ban taisetsuna koto wa
Yappari taimingu dato omou no de
Omou no de...konnichiwa
Sou suki dato iu no mo deeto wo suru no mo
Nani wo suru no demo
Uu kisu toka suru no mo sayonara iu no mo donna to ki ni demo
Sou kono yo de ichi-ban taisetsuna koto wa
Yappari taimingu dato omoubena
Omoubena, omoubena, omoubena
Pon poko rin
Ra ra ra ra…..”

I finished singing and looked out my window once more. It was darker now and I need to get some rest. I took off my microphone, and as I did it just turned back to its pure white glowing form before it faded into nothing in my hand. I walked over to my bed and then threw myself down on it and fell asleep. But I hadn’t been asleep for a while when I heard knocking coming from my window. I woke up to see that someone was throwing rocks at my window. I raced over to see who it was, desperately hoping that it was Ichigo.

“Hey! What’s up Monika? How have you been?” A lovely, familiar voice called up to my window. I immediately looked down to see who it was. It was Ichigo!

“Ichigo! Where on earth have you been?!” I asked, ignoring his questions addressed to me.

“Training with a few friends. But never mind that, I have something for you.” Ichigo called up to me as he began to climb up my house to where my window was.

“What? You didn’t have to get me anything.” I called back down.

“No, I have to give this to you.” Ichigo said once he was sitting on my window sill.

“But-“ I began to protest but I was cut off by Ichigo as he placed his lips on mine. I froze, not too sure if this was the best dream I ever had or if this was real. I must have turned a million shades of red once I realized that I wasn’t dreaming. I soon began to finally kiss him back, and Ichigo smirked once this happened. Ichigo’s arms snaked their way around my waste and I found mine tangled around his neck, pulling him closer to me.

“That is what I had for you.” Ichigo said once he broke the kiss.

I didn’t say anything at the moment. I was too busy trying to catch my breath.

“Monika, I have to go back for a little bit longer. I’ll see you again when I come back from training. I love you Monika.” Ichigo said as he pulled me into a hug.

“I love you too, Ichigo.” I said as I hugged him back. From that moment on I knew that we would be more than friends.

WRITER’S NOTES:

Hello readers! I just wanted to say that the dedication of this story is in the memo. And just to avoid any confusion, this story takes place when Ichigo goes off with the Vizards to learn how to controll his inner hollow. And one more thing that I have to say is that I know this One-Shot was short and all, but I still hope you liked it. If there is something that you think I need to work on in future One-shots that I write, please message me with your suggestions. Just don’t be really mean and crush my self esteem please! ^_^
