Last Song:

“I Put A Spell On You” by ‘Screamin’ Jay Hawkins (just an aside, if someone reading this can put me out of my misery I would be forever grateful because when I last heard this song I could have SWORN it played during the opening credits of a movie or TV show like when the character is getting rained on or something BUT I CAN’T FIND PROOF AND IT’S DRIVING ME NUTS!! So please bring me answers and/or cyanide...either option works)

Last Movie:

Blackboard Jungle with Glenn Ford and Sidney Portier (I do not recommend this movie as I couldn’t stand Glenn Ford’s portrayal of a teacher, but was completely surprised to see Mr. Portier playing a delinquent teenager and was quite enthralled with how within the span of a few years he went on to play a MUCH more interesting teacher trying to handle difficult students)

IchigoxOrihime In the Movies: The Mummy

No request to fill here. Just my imagination running amok.

“Renji, why are we going to the guardhouse? Is your contact the warden or one of the officers?”

Grinning sheepishly down at his half-sister, Renji replied rather evasively, “Well, I believe I remember him saying something about how he fought in the army at one time.”

Sensing more than seeing Orihime’s stern look, Renji held up his hands in surrender and said, “All right, all right...he’s one of the inmates at the guardhouse,” then he held up a defensive finger as he finished hastily, “However, I wasn’t lying when I said that he said he was part of the army.”

Firmly planting her feet, crossing her arms and glaring daggers from her slightly over five-foot-tall stature, Orihime nevertheless struck quite the intimidating figure as she said in a deceptively calm voice, “Before I take another step, you give me three valid and irrefutable reasons why I should talk to this...’friend’ of yours.”

Intentional or not, Renji merely said, “Look, I obviously can’t vouch much for his character as he is in the clink, but I’m telling you that he knows what he’s talking about. He can actually take you to...well, there.”

Shifting her weight, Orihime arched an eyebrow at him and asked in a flat tone, “Took you there last night, did he? All the way to Hamunaptra?”

“Well, no. Obviously not,” spluttered her brother, before he leaned close to her ear and said in a hushed tone, “It’s a risk, I’ll grant you, but what isn’t? You know what all the quacks and blowhards sounded like when they claimed to know how to get to there, but this guy I’ll swear has been there.”

Still not entirely convinced, Orihime’s body language nevertheless became more relaxed as she asked in a resigned way, “Why? How are you so convinced he can take us there?”

Leaning in closer, Renji whispered, “Because he doesn’t sound like he ever wants to go back. I think it’s also possible he regrets it and doesn’t want other people to find it.”

“Okay...then why did he say anything about it to you?”

Stiffening momentarily, Renji straightened up and tried to walk away when Orihime instinctively grabbed one of his arms and held it fast as she demanded, “Renji...what did you do?”

Massaging the back of his neck, Renji let out a half-hearted chuckle and said, “Oh well, I can’t really recall the details. Pretty sure there was a bottle or two downed during our little visit. Maybe a couple of poker hands where during a couple of hands secrets about that city were traded instead of money by the loser.”

“Great,” sighed Orihime, “Now I’m dealing with two gamblers, drinkers and cheats. Honestly, why me?”

Walking into the compound, Orihime had to suppress the urge to pick up her skirts and run away as fast as she could from the sights, sounds, but mostly the smells of the prison. Had her much taller and burly brother not been at her side, Orihime would have done so without a second thought, but as it stood at the moment, she figured that she’d come this far, so might as well see it through to the end.

While the warden had the good sense not to overtly leer or make offensive remarks about Orihime’s appearance, there were more than a few slow looks that made her feel once again like bolting. Arriving in front of what seemed to be an empty cell, Orihime was just turning to glare at the two men and rip them a new one for involving her in a ludicrous goose chase when a door on the other side of the cell burst open and two massive men forced another man into the cell.

At first, Orihime couldn’t see how the prisoner was any different from any of the other filthy and crude inmates she had seen thus far, but after the man gave his two jailers a rather impressive withering look, there was something about his posture and bearing that gave Orihime the impression that there was more to the man than what she was currently seeing. When he turned his attention to the group on the other side of the bars of his cell, Orihime found herself wondering what he might look like if he wasn’t covered in who knew how many layers of dirt and grime.

Her musings were interrupted when the man stalked over to the bars, menacing glower firmly in place as he demanded gruffly, “You two the reason I was so rudely woken up from my last nap ever?”

Completely taken aback, Orihime could only ask automatically, “Beg pardon?”

Raising his shackled hands to grip the bars, the man huffed and replied, “Guess it would be too much for a condemned man to expect that his last few minutes of life couldn’t be spent in relative peace and quiet.”

Before Orihime could think of anything else to say, the man asked curtly, “So, what exactly are you so desperate to find out from me?”

Stepping in beside Orihime, Renji said firmly, “You just keep a civil tongue in your head when you’re talking to my sister, Kurosaki.”

To Orihime’s utter astonishment, the man named Kurosaki suddenly lunged forward to land a resounding punch square on Renji’s nose. Unsurprisingly, Renji hit the ground clutching his nose while Kurosaki hit the ground not two seconds later when the two jailers dealt the man a punch each.

Before the jailers could continue with beating the prisoner, Orihime held out her hands and pleaded, “Oh please don’t! He’s had enough!”

After the men backed away, Kurosaki gave Orihime a wry smirk as he said, “Not bad, lady,” but then his scowl returned as he said, “but you still haven’t answered my question. What do you want?”

Looking down at her moaning big brother, Orihime decided that it would be best to finish this business up quickly and answered truthfully, saying, “My name is Orihime Inoue-Abarai and this is my brother, Renji. He said that I needed to meet you because you told him that you claimed to know the way to...Hamunaptra.”

Kurosaki’s face remained impassive as he asked, “What’s it to you if I do?”

Not at all phased by the man’s tone or demeanor, Orihime replied, “Well, it was always my father’s dream to find the city of Hamunaptra and up until the day he died, I helped him with his research and tireless searching. His passion for history and all the secrets it held quickly became my own dreams,” when she realized she was rambling, Orihime finished with, “It may seem silly to you, but I want to find this city to honor my father’ memory and if you have any information that could help me, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me.”

For a long moment, Kurosaki looked at Orihime with an expression she couldn’t quite read before he finally answered with, “Can’t.”

“Why?” asked Orihime before her brain was able to think that it was a ridiculous question and stop her from saying it aloud.

“’Cause they’re gonna hang me in less than an hour, lady,” Kurosaki said as he shrugged, “Unless...”

When he trailed off, Orihime didn’t realize that she had drifted closer to the bars to hear what he had to say as she asked, “Unless?”

Kurosaki leaned in closer as he said in a low voice, “Unless I was somehow pardoned of these trumped up charges they have against me and released, I won’t be able to tell you how to get to...”

“Hamunaptra,” Orihime supplied without thinking, staring up into his intense brown eyes.

“Right,” he said, “Think you can do that?”

“Do what?” Orihime asked in a daze.

“Get me out,” said Kurosaki gruffly, “Can I count on you?”

“I...I...” began Orihime in her usual flustered manner when all of a sudden she found her voice unable to leave her mouth as Kurosaki’s was suddenly covering hers. Had her brain been able to function at that particular moment, she would have been mortified at the thought that her very first kiss was coming from a man she had only just met, who was a prisoner near to being put to death and filthy as anything...and yet for some reason she never wanted the kiss to end.

Yet end it did, rather abruptly when the jailers landed two more ferocious blows and started dragging Kurosaki out the door in the back when the man in question turned back to Orihime and demanded, “Help me and I’ll help you!”

“Okay...”

Tale of the Knight’s Christmas Angel: Part 1

Okay, okay. So, this first part doesn’t get to Ichigo and Orihime yet and I’m not completely satisfied at this point with what I’ve done, but I HAVE to get to sleep tonight and get up in the morning early, so...here’s the best I’ve got. I’ll mull it over tomorrow and see if I can keep moving in this direction or need to start over from scratch...

“How much longer?” “Can you see anything through the keyhole?” “Ouch! You stepped on my foot!” “I’m bored…”

A chorus of hushed whispers from children standing in the hallway outside the ballroom were becoming more and more petulant as time wore on. ‘Holiday cheer’ was gradually declining the longer they had to wait for the most anticipated portion of the evening’s festivities to begin.

Standing slightly off to the side, Ichika looked over at her companion, Nemuri, and said, “One might think they’d never celebrated Christmas before, the way they’re acting.”

Pushing a loose strand of hair back beneath her maid’s cap, Nemuri replied deferentially, “Yes, Miss.”

Giving the young servant, who also happened to be her closest friend as they had grown up alongside each other, a sidelong look, Ichika said, “Oh please, Riri, no one’s paying any attention right now, so you don’t have to be so formal.”

Before the other girl had time to reply, a voice called out from behind the doors, “Welcome to Christmas!”

The ballroom doors opened and the sight of the Christmas tree lit up with seemingly hundreds of candles whose soft, flickering light filled the entire room and the opulent, yet tasteful, decorations in an almost heavenly glow Ichika could barely repress her squeal of delight, but being thirteen years old and practically a young lady in the eyes of the adult guests. Her younger relatives, however, had no such desire or need to hide their enthusiasm and all but sprinted over to the tree, their attention entirely focused on the splendidly wrapped packages piled around and under the tree. Said packages were efficiently distributed and the colorful paper enclosing them was just as swiftly torn asunder to reveal the entracing objects inside.

Glancing around the room, Ichika easily caught sight of her uncle and father who each towered a good head or so above the other adults. While her mother was mostly certainly shorter than most everyone, including a few of the younger guests, it wasn’t difficult to guess that the hostess would be in the same vicinity as the aforementioned gentlemen.

As she approached, her Uncle Byakuya turned in her direction first and said in a low rumble, “Good evening, niece. Have you located your gifts yet?”

Smiling in a way that clearly displayed her genteel upbringing while still being completely natural and sincere, Ichika gave her uncle her most graceful curtsey as she replied, “In a while, Uncle Byakuya. Is there anyway I can be of help with the guests?”

While her uncle gave Ichika an approving look and the barest hint of a smile, her father ran a hand through his hair and laughed as he said, “Who are you and what have you done with my daughter? Last I knew she was still my little girl, but you…” he reached down to brush the back of his fingers along her cheekbone in a familiar gesture of affection, “...you’re quite the young lady.”

Noting just a hint of sadness in her father’s eyes at his last statement, Ichika scrunched up her nose and whispered conspiratorially, “Well, this young lady will never be too old to challenge her old Papa to a good, old-fashioned snow fight.”

Before her father could reply in kind or her uncle interject in his coolest manner, Ichika’s mother cut in, saying, “Oh for heaven’s sake, Renji, don’t. And Ichika, you go and enjoy yourself. This night is for you to enjoy with the others.”

Grasping Ichika’s shoulder and pulling her gently aside, her mother said softly, “One can always enjoy the wonders of Christmas no matter how old they are, but I know I speak for your father and uncle when I say that we all want you to cherish this time while you are still young.”

A commotion from the front of the room stopped Ichika from being able to reply. When she turned to look, it took a moment before she realized that one final guest had just arrived, one whom she had not seen in quite some time and yet had no difficulty in remembering quite vividly. 

Along with the rest of the children, Ichika clambered forward with a cry of, “Mr. Urahara!” and wondered what wonderful thing he might have brought with him on this, the most magical night of the year.

Sooo....

I commissioned a piece back in December from the amazing, wonderful, talented and absolutely incredible @fire-in-the-starry-sky because I was toying with the idea of creating a new story. Needless to say, I never got around to posting that story for Christmas and so then I thought to myself, ‘Self, why don’t you take some time over the next couple of months and get it ready to post around Tanabata/Christmas in July and then that will give you a HUGE opportunity to work out some of the kinks in the story? Great plan, Self, so let’s go with that.’ Again, it should be very obvious to most that my plan went precisely in the opposite direction...

Anyway, I’m posting the picture she drew below and hoping to get the first part of the story posted before the end of today. There’s likely going to be a few installations and I’m not even entirely positive on the title yet, so yeah. It’s business as per usual with me.

I couldn’t be happier with the picture and was completely selfish for not posting it sooner...but @fire-in-the-starry-sky is too great of an artist not to share the amazing work that she does. I also just wanted to bask in the glory of it for as long as possible because she drew it to perfection and beyond my wildest imaginings. I just hope whatever I write lives up to this beautiful piece of artwork.

Stay tuned!

[jylener22]

OMG welcome back! :D

Yeppers. Working my way to recovery. I’ll get there eventually...

Are you alive?

Maybe now that I am out of school for the summer.

Bleach X Disney week

Good morning (in my time) to the Bleach fandom ✨🌷🌈

I noticed some mild inactivity in events for the canon ships and this has made me sad

So I have decided to arrange a crossover event between Bleach and Disney for the lovely IchiHime and lovely RenRuki fandom 🤗💖

Some other ships are also fine, but I will talk about this later 😊 (hint hint HitsuHina, GinRan, UraYoru..etc 👀)

But first I want to know if you’re on board with this, sorry for the tags, but I will need the fandom’s approval before everything starts, if the fandom does I will post the rules and conditions for this Bleach X Disney week

I hope I’m not being rude by asking people who agree to repost this for everyone to see, I hope this event becomes a huge thing for all of us, and I hope to share positivity, something I have learned from Disney 🌈🌸💫

I want to participate!

[jylener22]

I wonder who Orihime's entourage would consist of? lol

Pretty much goes without saying, sweetheart!

Ichigo, Tatsuki, Rukia, Uryu, Chad, Chizuru (in a lot of crazy ways), Rangiku and Renji are the most obvious, but I would also include Isshin, Karin and Toshiro to that list.

[jylener22]

How are you getting on with all your fics?

As for this particular question, you know all those memes fic writers post about having all sorts of grand plans to write on their down time, getting to that time of the day and then having no energy, ideas and/or desire to write??? That’s about where I’m at once I get off of work...
