Party All Day Long (OPEN)

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime smiled and nodded she knew Keigo and Ichigo were really different in personality she it would probably worry his sisters and maybe his father. But she also knew that Keigo was a trickster he probably was kidding, right? The subject had changed to Mizuiro having not brung his girlfriend she smiled happily ''Aw we could of met her, i'd like to'' she said to him but it seemed she was working so another time maybe.

Orihime had intantly become concerned when there had been a loud noise before a battered Keigo complaining was heard. They had all gone to see if he was at least alright and he claimed to of been really hurt or broke his neck she looked surprised ''Well you should take it easy'' she said to him and glanced to Yuzu.

She was however tugged by Ana to get back to their cooking masterclass ''Oh yeah, ok'' she said with another look back at Keigo. She focused on the task at hand ''Right, so we just gotta wait a little while longer'' she said watching it cooking in the over, she often watched food in the oven like a hawk so that it wouldnt burn. She suddenly heard Karin asking what had just happened yeah she didnt think they'd be too pleased with broken furniture.

She looked to Tatsuki and smiled a little seeing she was eager to see Ichigo's face when he saw the surprise and of course beat him to a pulp like Tatsuki like to.

[Shoshi Ana]

Wait Mizuiro was dating a 25 years old! Ana's eyes widened a little before she smirked "It's not easy landing an older girl... good on you" she added winking to Mizuiro before she kept cooking though she was sure Ichigo wouldn't go to some club with Keigo... well not until he graduated at least, he really needed to focus on his final year at school more than anything else. "Oh we could all go to an amusement park or go to a spa... escape the town for a bit and the badness... you're all on holiday... you could bring your girlfriend Mizuiro" Ana said smiling, she liked that idea, them all getting away for a little bit and having some fun, when was the last time they all hanged out... well not counting today.

After observing the scene Keigo had caused she simply shook her head, "Ah you'll be find Keigo" she added before watching Karin see what was going, she didn't stick around for long returning to keep watch as Yuzu made sure Keigo was fine, he seemed ok so when she heard it from him she came back to the kitchen and started on some other food she was making for the party. "Yea not much longer" Ana said before Tatsuki came into the room "Probably more than once" Ana added and smiled a little. "Nah we kept the party a big secret so he shouldn't see it coming... Ichigo probably thinks I'm keeping some big secret from him like I did a few years ago"[/b she said laughing a little, though Ana was keeping some important facts from Ichigo and she wanted to tell him but Isshin had asked her not to. She couldn't help but laugh at Tatsuki's comment on what she was going to do to Ichigo.

It was then Ana saw Ishida and Chad enter the room. "Hey!" she said waving as Chad put an eski down "Hey you're tall Chad think you can help Keigo and Mizuiro with the decorations, Keigo fell off a chair and nearly broke his neck, like to avoid that again if possible" she said as Chad nodded his head and went to help the guys. Ishida however said hello to everyone and put some containers on the kitchen table before standing beside Tatsuki.

"What can I do to help?"

"Oh well... we need the fruit and cheeses cut up" she said pointing to the stuff on the counter as Ishida nodded and got to work. "Hey Orihime... I think we can do the next batch while those ones are cooking" Ana said bringing over some pastry to her "Want to help Tatsuki?" Ana asked.

[Asano Keigo]

Mizuiro sighed, he should have known Keigo would say too much ''Uh, thanks i guess'' he said to Ana 'He's got a thing for older women'' Keigo butted in with a grin. Mizuiro frowned at him ''Say how about everyone else, anyone else taken yet?'' Mizuiro asked but he did direct it towards Keigo who frowned ''Oh shhhh! i dont do girlfriends its all about playing the field why were young Mizuiro'' he smirked. ''And that is why your single'' Tatsuki took a dig at him.

They al seemed to agree on a holiday away with the group it sounded like fun and not many of them had haoliday in ages. ''Im in!'' Keigo said ''It will top our summer off before we all go our seperate ways to Uni and stuff....well not that im going Uni im gonna be a rock star like in bad sheild or something'' he cheered. ''I dont think bad sheild will ask for a third memeber'' Mizuiro said. ''But a holiday with the gang sounds great! i'd be happy to ask my girlfriend if she can book off a week or something'' he said.

It was then that the door had opened up again and Chad and Ishida joined the party. ''H-heyyyy Chad my old buddy come to help'' Keigo said as Ana had asked him to aid them. ''We got it covered but you couldnt hold that banner up while i tape it'' he said. ''Hey has glasses turned up to then....didnt think he'd come'' he added but it seemed this party was shaping up.

Tatsuki laughed at Ana's comment ''Yeah the guy hits his head all the time, even today'' she said. ''Yeah he's not too good with secrets but hey he might be hiding stuff too....Ichigo's not innocent i mean i bet he never told you guys i beat him in a fight once'' she grinned as she brushed her knuckles over her shirt.

She looked round to Chad and Ishida ''Oh hey guys...really for the fun?'' she smirked. ''Yo Ishida go and raid Ichigo's room for his guitar play us something'' she said hoping for some entertainment although if he could she'd gladly play. She leant off the counter she was resting on and nodded, she'd help out she was a whizz at cookery well sort of, her mom was pretty good so she had taught. Walking forwards she washed her hands ''Just tell me where to help'' she smiled. ''Hey what'd you two get Ichigo then?'' she asked curiously she honesty had no idea ''I got him the new tekken game out he's forever borrowing my copy'' she sighed.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime raised her eyebrows, Mizuiro's girlfriend was 25 that seemed like super grown up to her bearing in mind they were still 17 going on 18. She wondered how Mizuiro could come across someone in work when he was in school but still it was nice, and Orihime would love to meet her because Mizuiro seemed a nice enough guy she was surly just as nice as him and it could mean one more extra friend for them to hang out with. She blinked and then looked down as Mizuiro asked if anyone else's status had changed ''No, but im happy for you Mizuiro'' she smiled to him.

Ana had made a great suggestion to all go on a little trip as a group and it would be the perfect opportunity to meet Mizuiro's girlfriend. ''Wow, i'd love to, that'd be so good think of things we could get up to'' she smiled. She had never had a family holiday really only once when her brother took her to the beach and that was so much fun so with all her friends she could imagine how good it would be. ''Count me in too'' she said but couldnt help but laugh at Keigo wanting to be the third member of that band called Bad Shield.

Orihime was then swiftly back to the task at hand, no party was complete without food. She nodded agreeing that the first batch was done really for the next she began to start on the next lot mixing and chopping ingrediants oh how tempting it was to eat one now. ''Hey i should of made something, i could of done some jelly and potato its really good if you mix the two'' she smiled but that probably made most people's toes curl at eating it but Orihime was oblivious to it.

Orihime heard some other voices that she recognised ''Hello Chad, Ishida-Kun'' she said happily ''How are you'' she asked them before Tatsuki had told Ishida to raid through Ichigo's room to find his guitar ''Oh yeah a song will be good'' she smiled but then paused and frowned before looking back at Ishida''Can you play!?'' she wondered but more to the point why did Ichigo have a guitar in his room ''Can Kurosaki-Kun play too!?'' she quizzed.

She had been asked however what she had brought Ichigo and what else but his favourite chocolates she knew it was his favourite food. ''Chocolate of course'' she smiled.''''Oh yeah tekken, i always see you ask him if he brought it in to return to you'' she said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana smiled a little, yea no wonder Keigo was single, not many women saw being young that way and not many women saw it being that way anyway. Playing the field, whoever taught Keigo that? She'd go teach them reality. It was good to explore sure but playing the field... that just sounded so... dirty. Ana shook her head "Nah... relationships are so much work... besides I don't mind being single and mingling" she added smiling though frankly Ana didn't like being single but she would deal with it. She simply glanced to Orihime,she wished the girl would just tell Ichigo her feelings or move on... she was wasting her youth on a guy who hardly noticed her in such a way and as Ana thought there were so many more guys out there that were much better for Orihime than Ichigo... plus she'd hate to beat Ichigo up if he hurt Orihime... no wait who was she kidding she'd love slapping him across the back of the head and drilling him.

Everyone seemed in on the idea of heading off for a bit and all going on a holiday together "Wicked we'll set a date then and head off. It'll be so much fun!" she said and hugged Orihime's arm as she agreed to come along also. Shortly after that Chad and Ishida came along. In no time Ishida was chopping up some fruit while Chad went to help the guys.

"Sure" Chad said to Keigo and grabbed the banner holding it up "This high enough?" he asked looking down to Keigo and Mizuiro.

Ana smirked to Tatsuki, she wouldn't tell her how many times she'd pushed Ichigo around then. "Oh really... what else? We should totally embarrass him today" she said leaning in to Tatsuki and winked before she took a picture of them and then of Ishida cutting up some fruit. Of course Orihime saying jelly and potato's had Ana doing a re-take, she had just said what exactly? Really... man she had some strange taste buds. "Oh have you had grapes and cheese before Orihime?" Ana asked her.

Ishida pulled up his glasses on his face as Tatsuki told him to go raid Ichigo's room. "If you want the guitar you can go raid his room yourself" he added and started chopping up some more fruit before glancing to Orihime when she asked him if he could play. "I'm not playing guitar" he added but gave Orihime a small smile before he continued with his job at hand.

"Oh I wonder if Ichigo and his family have a keyboard, Hey Yuzu, do you have any instruments here?" Ana asked as Yuzu nodded her head and said she'd go get them. "We could start our own band!" Ana said excited before She remembered Orihime asked what they'd gotten Ichigo "Oh I got him that Hamlet books remember, we talked about it the other day... I also made like this friendship pendant for a necklace I got him... but you I don't expect him to ever wear it" she added shrugging her shoulders. "Oh you three picture" she said waving her hand for Ishida, Tatsuki and Orihime to bunch together for a photo before she snapped it. "I need some cheeses cut up, if you wanted to do or the table needs setting, we have plastic plates and stuff so we don't have to wash up afterwards." she added winking before she heard them talking about a game. "What's Tekken?" she asked, she'd never heard of it before "We can play that game!" she added giving Tatsuki the thumbs up. She then snuck off for a moment to take pictures of the guys setting up the room and to get the twins in a picture.

[Asano Keigo]

Mizuiro nodded he knew all to well about the complications of relationships and Ana didnt strike him as someone who needed to be in a relationship to be happy. ''You'll be taken soon Inoue-San, one day'' he smiled to her. ''I've seen the guys in our school always talk about like your a celebrity or something'' he said to her.

It seemed Orihime was up for this little trip althogether too ''Great!'' he began ''So now we just gotta get Ichigo on board too and it will be a trip to remember'' Mizuiro said. ''Hey if im there it will make it memorable'' Keigo piped up ''Oh yeah im it sure will, for entertainment reasons'' Mizuiro said.

Tatsuki just ginned at Ana wanting more dirt on Ichigo ''Haha, well i'll remind him of the crybaby he used to be he'll hate me for it'' she smirked. ''Nah he loves me really, or he'll get beaten up'' she laughed. She did however poke out a tongue at the distasful words of Orihime using potato and jelly together ''Ughh thats not gonna taste good Orihime'' she said patting the top of her head. ''Maybe you should take a shot at these sping rolls Ana made up a recipe sheet for'' she said.

''And you!'' Tatsuki glanced to Ishida ''You look shifty when you push up yor glasses, just thought i'd tell you'' she smiled. ''Fine, i will raid Ichigo's room he hasnt asked me over since we were in kiddie school''. Tatsuki looked surprised hearing what Ana had got Ichigo ''He's into that stuff.....'' she asked confused. ''He dont seem the type to be all intellectual and shit'' she said tapping a finger on her chin ''Maybe i got Ichigo all wrong........nah!'' she smiled. She quickly stood straight in time for a great picture getting in close to her friends and giving a grin. ''Tekken....you've never played Tekken! its only the most awesome game ever! its a fighting game Ichigo's too damn good at it some im so gonna beat him when i challenge him to a rematch'' she said ''You'll have to have a go yourself'' she said as she continued to chop up some cheese.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime simply smiled towards Mizuiro suggested she'd be a taken girl soon enough. ''Yeah, maybe'' she said but looked a little disappointed when he brought up how the other guys at school acted around her much like Keigo acted around other girls. She could hear what they said and some of the things put her off them very quickly, it was one of the reasons Ichigo was for her.

She was already however excited about this little trip they had started to plan. Everyone seemed all for it so it was on. ''Where should we go? like a weekend stay somewhere or just a big day trip to an amusement park'' she asked wondering what everyone thought, either way it would be great. She felt Ana's arm and raised her shoulders as she smiled she couldnt remember everyone all doing something together like this.

She couldnt help but laugh as Tatsuki and Ana seemed to recoil at the thought of her meal idea. ''Haha i wouldnt make it for guests...i just experimented'' she said. She raised her eyebrows as Tatsuki spilt some childhood info about Ichigo being beaten by her, was funny to think about it now seeing as Ichigo was who he was currently. ''Yeah, how strange to think he's now a like-'' she paused glancing to Yuzu who didnt know who her brother really was and had to come up with something ''Grown up and all'' she quickly covered her tracks sighing with a little releif.

Orihime's thoughts turned to the idea of them being in their own band, she tried to picture it and began to daydream before she shook her head fixing her concentration on the food she was making. She had to think back at Ana's question, had she had cheese and grapes before, hmmm ''I dont think so...why is it great?'' she asked curiously.

Oh now she remembered, the gift Ana got Ichigo ''Ah yeah, i know now....he's gonna love it'' she smiled and also some jewelry as a sign of their friendship she looked towards her, Ana was so thoughtful. She snapped out of her thoughts to pose for a photo of course with a big beaming happy smile of hers.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana smiled a little, "Oh Ichigo will come because if he says no then I will drag him by the ears" she added with determination and grinned. She was sure Ichigo wouldn't mind escaping everything for a bit, he needed some time away from Hollow hunting and his shinigami duties, he needed to be a person for a bit. Ana couldn't help but laugh at Mizuiro's response to Keigo, it was very much true and amusing. Though she turned her attention to Orihime "Why not do both, amusement park first and then the spa, I know of a really good spa, Turasho took me there a few years ago, the owner's might give us a discount... or there is a new one we could try out" she added.

Of course Ana got more scoop on Ichigo and laughed again, Ichigo a crybaby really, she never saw that one. Isshin had told her how Ichigo was very close to his mother but never how he was such a wimp, oh this was priceless stuff. "Oh yea I'll give you the recipe before the party finishes Orihime just remind me" she said, she figured it could be a good experiment for Orihime especially if she really liked them and then she could do her own spin on them and experiment more, who knew she might do something to actually make them even better. "Grapes and cheese is great... it's like wine and fine cheeses... well not as good but still good" Ana said smiling, she was surprised Orihime had not tried it before "Oh and cellary and peanut butter is good too" Ana said smiling wondering if Orihime had tried that one.

Ishida glanced to Tatuski, who said he got a present for Ichigo, wasn't turning up enough? Of course Ana had bribed him into coming, had not been too hard. "You'll find out when he get's here, I'm not spoiling the surprise" he said, heck his idea of a present was probably to battle Ichigo in how many Hollows one could kill over the other and naturally he would have to beat Ichigo.

Ana though looked to Tatsuki "Ah yea... well my sources tell me he is into that stuff. He's taking English right? So the only way to really learn English is by reading the great classics and William Shakespeare has several, my favourite is Romeo and Juliet but figured that might be too mushy for Ichigo, Hamlet might be more his style, it's in English and full on so it'll challenge him" she added and smiled a little. Of course Tatsuki explained the game to Ana and she blinked a few times, there was a game you could play fight... what was the fun in that when you could fight for real? Eh maybe the game was really good so she nodded her head to Tatsuki, she'd have to try it out. Of course she soon snuck off to get pictures of the guys.

"Hey you three smile won't you" she added taking a few pictures. "The rooms looking good!" she said giving them the thumbs up as Chad thanked her and held another item up for Keigo, probably a little too high for him though. Snagging some pictures of the twins she then helped Yuzu bring the guitars in "We got guitars! I had no idea you could play guitar Tatsuki, can you sing too? What else can you play? You've been holding back on me now haven't you? What about you Orihime can you play any instruments?" she asked helping Yuzu put them down and then started setting the table or rather putting stuff on the table, likes bowls of chips and dips and lollies and party poppers and then the cut fruit Ishida had finished cutting up, the only healthy thing Ana had really though of for the party. Ichigo liked junk food so that's what most of the food would be. "Hey do you two have your ears pierced?" Ana asked seeing Ishida look her way "Not you them" she added before quickly snapping a shot of Ishida's facial expression and laughed.


occ :: sorry if i am doing Ishida wrong... never played him before

[Asano Keigo]

This little trip was coming together nicely providing after running by Ichigo he'd come for sure though he may require some persuasion or not mentioning Keigo was coming could do it. ''Yeah we can go stay at my aunt's place she's not there at the moment she's holidaying im sure she wont mind if i run it by her we can all stay there for the weekend'' Mizuiro suggested for those he wished to stay. ''Great, so a good spa Ana knows of and a trip to the amusement park'' he confirmed.

Tatsuki rubbed her hands together as if she were plotting ''Oh its good being a childhood friend you get to know everything'' she smiled. Tatsuki could only thank Ana for suggesting grapes ad cheeses to Orihime that would be a better combination for her to try. ''You should give it a go'' she encouraged her friend.

Tatsuki carried on cutting up some ingredients for the party food but she lifted the knife she held in her hand turning to Ishida ''I didnt think you'd got him anything glasses....although im sure a duel on Tekken could settle the difficult task of who is better right...unless your scared'' she smiled as she chopped a large chunk of cheese without looking. ''Hey least you turned up'' she made sure to add.

She had a look of thought, Ichigo did pretty well in his exams so maybe he did study and read alot. ''Hmmm....never had him down as a Shakesphere fan...well good on him'' she said. It reminded her that she may know lots about his childhood but his current self not so much. She held back a grin, yeah Romeo and Juliet didnt sound like Ichigo's thing ''Ha! the day Ichigo gets into romance novels is the day Keigo grows up, hardly gonna happen'' she chuckled at. Hamlet did seem more to his taste.

''Good job Chad!'' Keigo said with a thumbs up as they guys sorted out decorations. Then suddenly there was a flash and Keigo didnt look all his best to say the least, oh well mug shot number one had taken place and there would probably be more later. ''Ohhh hey Ana...you got us by suprise'' Keigo said ''Yeah i made sure everythiing went in the right place'' he said. Mizuiro sighed ''He kinda just stood there while me and Chad put everything up more like'' he brought Keigo back down. Tatsuki had carried some more plates of various foods and into the nicely decorated room ''Oh nice job guys'' she said putting the food down on the table.

Yuzu had appeared with guitars ''Oh great!' Tatsuki said ''I can play a bit me and your brother messed about with them'' she said but she frowned a little ''Uh actually i only sing in the shower'' she smiled towards Yuzu. Tatsuki looked up towards Ana ''Who, me?'' she began ''I had them pierced years ago'' she said but grinned at Ishida's sudden photo they would come out funny.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime smiled ''I hope he would like to come'' she said but it made her laugh at how Ana would make sure Ichigo would join them so he had no choice in the matter. ''Well he better say yes or you'll drag him'' she said it would be good for him none the less a nice break from the chaotic life of the spiritually aware. She liked the sound of all staying at Mizuiro's aunts place for a couple of days with her permission of course. A great weekend break for them all seeing as they could all go seperate ways now that work or further education or maybe something was calling. ''Yeah we can do both then, ah i cant wait'' she said excited.

She had never tried such combinations Ana suggested but they sounded yummy. ''Ive really got to try those then'' she said. The spring rolls they had made seemed so easy and simple to do with some spare time she could make her own she nodded when Ana agreed to give her the recipe after the party. ''Thanks'' she said to her. She would sure go away today with some new ideas to try with food she felt like taking a trip to the supermarket now.

Orihime smiled towards Ishida it was nice of him to be present at Ichigo's party she new the two werent best buddy's or anything but she knew they had the same goals to protect their friends despite their differences, it probably came as a shock to other Shinigami or Quincy when they saw Ichigo and Ishida team up but they were setting an example that it can be possible to work alongside one another when you have the same principals. But she knew it wasnt that simple yet. ''But Kurosaki-Kun doesnt know that Ana is aware of his secret love of Shakespeare'' she said. ''He will be so surprised that she knew'' she added.

The food was pretty much all prepared and she followed Tatsuki and Ana into the room all fitted out with birthday banners, she smiled at their good work and set some plates of spring rolls down. She clapped her hands together ''Wow, so goood!'' she praised them before smiling behind her hand at Keigo and Ishida being caught out by Ana's camera they probably werent very good faces they made.

She looked round seeing the guitars Yuzu brought down she too had no idea Tatsuki could play the guitar ''Play us something Tatsuki-Chan'' she asked her. She looked a little confused by Ana's question wondering why Ishida had answered but she smiled a little and nodded ''Yeah, but i havent worn some in a ages'' she said.

(OOC: thats ok you're doing great with him :D )
