When you went to school next day, most of the people you pass were staring at you. But staring didn't bother you so much. More annoying was you had to answer the questions about this cuts again and again.
-Midori? What have happened to you? - Ichigo asked when he saw you at school
-Nothing... Geez... Only few cuts and everyone start to panic... - you were in really bad mood. "Just like they don't have THEIR problems"
And this boy who did it to you... You couldn't stop think about him. You didn't sleep all night and were extremly sleepy, you fell asllep during the class. Teacher walked to you and bang at your desk. You shuddered and looked into her eyes.
-Rheumatism, strange scratches, falling asleep during the lesson. Something definitely wrong with you, Nakamura. - she sounded angry.
-I'm sorry. - you said quietly - It won't happen anymore.
-I hope so. - she screwed her eyes. You were angry at yourself. "This stupid kind of troubles with teacher is something I definitely don't need now."
After classes Inoue and the others was trying to take you out to this new emporium again
-I'm not in the mood, sorry, guys. - you said
-That's why we want you to go with us! It will be fun! - Tatsuki responded flatly. You sighted and started to think about some good arguments which let you NOT go with them.
-Yea, I think you should go, Midori. - Ichigo said all of the sudden and Rukia supported him, vigorously nodding.
-Et tu, Brutue, contra me? - you sighted, looking at them. They both smiled a little.
-Nakamura-saaaan, pleeeaaaseeee! Go with us... - Inoue pulled your hand
-Ok, ok. - you scratched your head. You knew you didn't have chance...
After 20 minutes you all were in front of huge building. It was crowded and loud. You really didn't like this kind of places. You entered it reluctantly. Inoue started to taking a pictures... "What a pain... I shouldn't come here."
-Look! Oh, LOOK AT THIS!!! - Inoue screamed, delighted. You glanced at direction she was pointing.
-What's this? It looks like a huge... panda? - you said, unsure you are looking at thing she meant. But she already started running at it. It was someone in panda's costume, walking along the mall. You felt sorry for him or her, cause you were sure it was extremally hot in it. And probably because of this fact panda sat on the bench and took off the head.
-RENJI!?!?!?! - you yelled and people looked at you. You, Rukia and Ichigo bursted out laughing. You laughed so hard and couldn't stop for few minutes.
- It's that job!? That guy was right! Only you are fit for it!!!! - you grabbed Inoue's camera and took him some pictures
-Panda-san... Can we take a picture with you? - some kids walked to Renji. Renji nodded, his face was bright red.
When kids walked off you hugged Renji
-Paaandaaa-saaaaaan! Take a picture with me toooo! - you yelled, doing sweet eyes
-Kiss my... - he said and you kicked him in the shin. Suddenly you hit on an idea.
-Give me a head.
-What? - he looked at you, surprised
-Panda's head. Give me it.
-What are you going to do with this? - he asked, giving you a head
-First thing: Inoue do a picture - you said and poked your head in the costume. You arranged a small photo session with Renji and the others. - Okie-dokie. Now... Real fun will start
-Gimme a bamboo! - you growled to passerby
-I... I don't have to... - he responded, a bit scared. People strted to walking faster when they were near me. My friends at first were looking at me with their eyes wide open, but later they were laughing really hard. You had so much fun!
-I want a bamboo!!! - you growled to strangers, grabbing his hands, clothes and bags. They looked like they're going to have a hear attack. But who could blame them? - Gimme a bamboo!!!
You were about to jump into a fountain when you saw a few peoples running in your direction. They were uniformed.
-People! Guards! Run! - you shouted - Renji, you too! - you grabbed his hand and started to run.
-But what about my job? - he asked, still laughing
-Throw away this damn costume! Run for life! - you laughed, but you didn't throw away this panda's head. This thing give you too much fun to just throw it.
When you run out the emporium you saw a woman with a microphone and man with camera. You stopped in front of them and put costume again
-Will I be in TV? - you asked them, but you didn't hear an answer, because Ichigo pulled your hand.
You run a bit and stopped. You started to laugh really hard
-Midori you are CRAZY. What was that? - Tatsuki asked you, she looked like she don't believe what just happened but she had also small smile on her lips.
-Some fun. Renji, sorry, I guess, they'll fire you! - you laughed. You knew it was stupid but it was also soo fun! And you distracted them. They seemed forget about your cuts. No. They didn't forget, they just didn't want to ask about it anymore.
-They won't let us enter this emporium again... - Inoue said, a bit sad.
-What a pity... - you responded. Another good thing came from doing it.
You went home with Renji, Rukia and Ichigo. You grabbed some milk from fridge and went to the room, when others turned in the TV, a local chanell
-I'm in TV! - you shouted! "It's realy boring town... You act like a panda and you're in TV already..."
-Know what? You look better when you have this on your head. - Renji said, putting on your head panda's costume. You punched him in arm.
-We've been in TV. Remember? We ended in principal's office. - Ichigo said to Rukia and she nodded.
-Don't tell me you're scared of principal! - you said it, but you didn't believe it could be true
-Of course we're not. But none of us need troubles because of something like that. It was unnecessary. And childish... You should be more mature...- Ichigo said all of the sudden. You got angry a bit.
-I am sick of your "maturity"! It's like you can't relax and do something just for fun!
-For fun? You're acting like an idiot just for fun? I know it could be hard for you but it's time to grow up! We're not five years old anymore, Midori!
-We're not fivty years old either, Ichigo! I really hope that someone in this town have a bit of sense of humour! And don't you think it's stupid to doing only "necessary" things all the time?!
-Stupid!? It's not a thing person who scare people in panda's costiume should say!
-Know what? I would like to be a stupid brat than stiff oldman. Life is short... - you said and went out your house. You took a deep breathe. You were angry on him. you thought and started to run i random direction. Air had such a sweet smell. When you stopped you saw a black cat staring at you. You recognized it.
-Yoruichi! - you pick her up. You didn't see her for really long. She was your best teacher ever and... a good friend. You knew her thanks to Urahara-san.
-Long time no see, Mi-chan. - she responded
-You know how much I hate when someonoe call me 'Mi-chan'...
-That's why I call you that!
-Ok... - you sighted - But what are you doing here?
-I can ask you the same. I'm here, cause... cause... I missed you! - you didn't like the way she was hasistating before she responded.
-Yea... You didn't even know I'm here... - you said, sweatdropping
-Don't say that! I can sense you like no one else! - it was the truth. She was better even than your dad. - But I didn't have a damn idea where have you been last year! It was like you just disappeared!
-Yes.. It was because... - you didn't want to talk about it again, but most probably you had to do it.
-I know, I know everything. It'll have no sens if I force you to told me this story again. Instead of this, let's go train a bit! I want to see if you improved! - she said and you sighted with relief. One more reason to like her...
-Of course, I did!
-Yeah? I want to see it - she said and turned to walked off - But... what's with your face?
-Don't ask... - you sighted.
You were heading to Urahara-san's place.
-Kisuke! We're going to use your training ground. You don't mind, do you? - Yoruichi shouted when she went in
-Of course I don't. - Urahara-san responded with smile.
-I knew it. Midori, wait a second. - she said to you and went to another room.
-Midori! What's with your face? - Urahara-san asked you suddenly and came up to you.
-Small... accident... Nothing much, really. - you responded. You felt bad lying to him, but it was no helping.
-Are you sure? - he grabbed your chin and looked at your cuts, frowning. - Looks like it was pretty deep cut. How did you get it?
-I... fell from the roof... To the bushes. - you said, your voice was weak and you cursed yourself. "I have to be more believable. Especially when I'm lying..."
-You should be more careful - he let you go, but you were sure he didn't believe you.
-Yes... - you sighted when he let you go.
-I heard some strange rumors. Something about a panda in this new emporium?You know something about it?
-Actually... - you were about to explain when Yoruichi went to the room in her human form. Urahara-san looked at her with smile. You smiled too. In your opinion Yourichi and Urahara-san would be a most awesome couple ever! But they don't look like they're going to do something about it. It pissed you off a bit, but what could you do?
-You don't have enough of this stupid blabering?! Let's go! - Yoruichi pulled you to the door in the floor.
You were fighting a few houres. With Yoruichi you could train your hand-to-hand combat. You really enjoy it even if Yoruichi beat you up pretty much
-You really improved. Last time I kicked your ass a lot more!
-I consider it as a compliment. - you smiled and winced. You didn't feel like it was less than before.
-And your Kagayaku's skills improved too. Only your zanpakuto is stubborn, huh? - she said looking in the space. You hoped she could come up with something what could help you with this problem. -Well... It's matter of time, I guess. You'll do it. - she smiled. You felt a bit dissapointed. - Don't make such a face, I'm cheering you up! - she said and punched you in arm. You winced again.
-It's time for me to go. Thanks Yoruichi! - you said and went home. When you come back home you noticed that Rukia and Renji were sleeping already. Quietly you went to your room and instantly fell asleep. Next day you woke up sore.
-She really kicked my ass! I don't wanna go to school! - you said, tumbling out the bed. When you sorted yourself a little bit you went to the kitchen.
-Oh Midori... You look terribly! - Renji said
-Thanks! Compliments are the best for start the new day... - you murmured, sitting on the chair
-You're tired... - Rukia added, giving you a glass of milk. You drank it at once.
-Really? I didn't notice, sorry... - you lay your head on the table
-Acting as a panda tired you so much? - Renji asked with derision
-Let's don't forget who was originally a panda-san...
-Ye... Thanks Midori - he said seriously. You knew what he meant. If you didn't do what you have done he would be the one in panda's costume. It will be the best subject for derisions.
-It was nothing, Abarai-sama. At least I have tons of your pictures... - you grinned. After a while you become serios - No, not panda. A cat.
-Cat? Yoruichi? - Rukia asked
-Yes... She came back and beat me up without a pity...
-Maybe you shouldn't go to school.
-Of course I shouldn't! But I will.
When you walked to school you felt like everyone stare at you and talking about you. Again. Normally you wouldn't care, but you were tired and annoy after your fight with Yoruichi.
-I heard that Nakamura was... - you heard, walking near a bunch of girls
-I was WHAT!? - you shouted above shoulder the one who was talking about you - On drugs? Drunk? I had multiple personality? Or maybe it wasn't me? Evil twin sister? Clon?
-Midori, quit it... - Rukia was trying to drag you away from them, but you pulled away your arm.
-No. If she want to say something about me, she should be able to tell me it right in my face. Not enough courage? What a pity... - you turned back and walked away. You were pissed off. You didn't do this in order to give him subject for rumors. But if they want to gossip... Now they have one more reason. And after all your opinion was the last thing you really care.
You saw Orihime running up to you
-Nakamura-san! Everyone...
-Talking about me. It is hard to not notice... - you said - I don't care, Orihime.
-Is it true that you beat up a girl just because she said your name? - Keigo walked up to you with strange look
-Pardon me? - you opened your eyes wide. "They are fast! And stupid..." But it started to be funny. At first they annoy you like hell but now... It's funny and could be useful.
You didn't even start a classes when principal asked you to go to his office. In office were three people: principal and two others you didn't know: man and woman. You were ready for this. At first he started to yelling at you and wanted you to explain. You took a deep breathe
-I'm sorry. Forgive me... It's all because... - you made your voice shake - I have multiple personality!
-She has also rheumatism. It's a poor girl... Let her be. - woman whispered
-Furthermore I heard that when she loses her temper she became really dangerous... Do you see her cuts? It was after the firght with 2 gangs! She beat them all, just because they said she has strange hair. - man whispered and you wanted to laugh, it was something new, you didn't hear this news before.
-You don't like my hair, sensei? - you asked sweetly
-Your hair is beautiful! Just beautiful! - man said, it was obvious he was afraid.
-Thank you... - you smiled. "Cretin!"
-Ok, Nakamura. This time I let you go. - said proncipal seriously
-Yes, sensei! Thank you! You have really big heart! - you smiled and went off his office. You met Rukia and others and told them about it.
-I can't believe it was so simple! - Tatsuki said with admiration.
-Power of gossips. And human's foolishness... I can't believe that even teachers... - you laughed.
You were heading home, when in your hands fall a plane made of paper. It was a note.
"Know what? I think you are too carefree. In your situation you shouldn't be too famous... But you looked lovely as a panda. Are you encouraging me for hunt, sweet Nakamura?" You read it quickly and look around. Your heart beat faster, you knew he had to observe you in that moment.
"It had to give me a scare? Hunt? But who will be the quarry?" You smirked and pocketed the note.
