Perfection For Us (Bleach Story)

Perfection For Us (Bleach Story) Ch.15 The Festival Pt.2

Ishi and Hizume calmed down finally much to the relief of the other girls. “I told Yoruichi and Urahara that I’d get you both beautiful kimonos.” Rangiku was saying. “We already got some.” Hizume and Ishi said in perfect unison. All four of the other women stopped. “You already snatched us might as well help you all find kimonos.” Hizume sighed. Then Kiyone ran up. “Hey sis!” she said to Isane. Isane smiled a little at how loud her sister is. “Well come one everyone lets go into the kimono shop!” Momo said cheerfully. First they decided to do Isane. The other four were making Isane try on dozens without looking at what it was. “OI! All of ya’s cut it out!” Ishi bellowed shaking the whole store. Then she waved a hand at Hizume who was holding a kimono. “We looked around why don’t you try this one Isane?” Hizume asked kindly. Isane nodded and took the kimono while Ishi was chiding the other soul reaper women. When Isane came out they all shut up.

 The deep neck line was daring but it had a faint silver trim all around the pale gray material looking like a silver radiance from her body. Then it was adorned at the bottom near the feet with blue and green five petaled flowers growing bigger as it went around till it got up to her waist. The obi was navy with flecks of green. There was also some on the bottom of the sleeve. Hizume moved forward and took down her braids and pinned her bangs back with some emerald and sapphire pins. “There.” They said. “Wow sis you look sooo pretty!” Kiyone said. “Yes really Isane you’re really pretty!” Rangiku agreed and Rukia and Momo nodded then the four remaining women asked, “Can you find a good kimono for us?” Hizume and Ishi nodded. “I’ll do Rangiku and Kiyone. You can handle Rukia and Momo.” Hizume said and Ishi nodded. Then they both went off to find kimonos. Ishi had flipped a coin and was doing Rukia first. She came back with one first. She held it up to Rukia who went inside to change. Ishi barked for the others close their eyes. Then Ishi did Rukia’s hair.

 She stood the girl back up and told the others to open their eyes. They gasped. Rukia was wearing a bright red/purple kimono with black trim. It was adorned by soft golden swirls; it also had a black obi. Her hair was pulled back into a low bun which had some pins that had rubies dangling from then to hold it up, there were three of said ruby hair pins. She looked amazing. They all applauded. “It looks amazing on you Rukia! If only Ichigo were here to see!” Hizume said. This made Rukia blush. Ishi and Hizume were confused as enlightenment dawned on the other four who began to laugh. “What aren’t they like a couple?” Ishi asked. “No!” Rukia said. Hizume shrugged. “Oh well, our bad. Well Rangiku here and like Ishi said before everyone else close your eyes.” Hizume said.

 They all did. “Open.” Hizume said. Rangiku’s hair had been left alone except for the slight bit of glitter in it. The kimono was a pale green which made her ginger hair stick out. The darker green seams and trim made a contrast to it making you look. On the darkest green obi there were bright green leaves. Again she looked amazing. Ishi crossed her arms. Her arm warmer was a little loose so she unwound the string then tightened it as she went to look for a kimono for Momo while Hizume went for on for Kiyone. Hizume was back first. Everyone knew the drill close your eyes. When they opened them they were in awe. There was a pretty water lily hair piece in her bang with leaves. Her kimono was an azure color with a paler blue obi. It was decored by faint silver parts like water drops. At the neck line there was an even darker trim. “Kiyone you look pretty.” Isane said. Kiyone blushed a little. “Aw your making me blush!” Kiyone said. The others hadn’t taken off their kimonos yet for the record. That was when Ishi arrived. “Very pretty Kiyone. Mature if only your personality could match.” Ishi said jokingly as she handed Momo the kimono and shoved her into the changing room.

When she came out the kimono was a peach color. Her hair was in a bunt this bun was low and the cloth over it was matching to her kimono. On the trim was a darker oranger shade of peach., and the final touch was peach blossoms on the dark orange obi and vine like clusters on the kimono made out of a medium peach color. “You guys sure know how to work magic.” A new voice said. They turned and there was Soifon. Ishi and Hizume shared a looked and smirked then they ran off and came back. “Try this on Soifon-chan!” Hizume said. Soifon was embarrassed but she took the kimono and changed. She came out. It was a dark purple color that hugged her the right way making her look more like a woman. Hizume and Ishi went for her hair and took out the white braids and added a paler lavender instead of the usual white and exchanged the golden rings for a cluster of orchids. The obi had pale gray cat’s paw prints on it. The kimono it’s self was rather plain but it was the obi and accessories that made you want to look. “Are you magicians?” Soifon asked as she looked in the mirror. The six women were looking at themselves. “Well well well I see Hizume and Ishi have worked their fashion magic again Jushiro.” A MALE voice said. Ishi and Hizume sighed as the other six jumped. It was Ukitake and Kyoraku. “So you discovered your fairy godmothers hm?” Ukitake asked. “C-captain!” Kiyone said slightly embarrassed. Nanao was with them. Ishi was already gone. Hizume grabbed Nanao. “You need one to right?” she asked. Nanao blushed.

 Ishi came back and they again shoved another woman into the changing room. “The worst part is the fact all of this is coming out of our pockets. Just because it’s a festival.” Ishi sighed. The others looked at them. They were buying all of this for them? Nanao said. “I am NOT coming out while my captain is here!” Hizume went in and did her hair then Ishi pulled her out. Nanao’s hair was down and curly with a pale pink ribbon in the left bang. The kimono was a medium pink with darker pink swirls. The obi was the darkest pink on there. She was embarrassed so a pink blush also brushed her cheeks. “Wow! You looked good!” they all said. Kyoraku and Ukitake were silent. “Now go get out of those so we can buy them.” Ishi roared interrupting them. “Ah Miss Mai and Miss Ran you kimonos are ready do you wish to try them on?” the woman said as she took the clothes and separated them into different bags. “Can we?” Ishi asked. The woman nodded. The others were excited. Now that they heard this Ukitake and Kyoraku had a reason to stay. They rarely saw them in a kimono. Hizume came out first.

 Her kimono was a blue and purple tie dye. The trim was white and the obi was a dark purple with some blue polka dots. Her chopstick still held her hair up but like Rangiku’s it had sparkles only they were purple sparkles. Then Ishi came out. Her arm warmer was gone and the kimono was a pale brown. The obi was scarlet with brown and white plaid. Then there was a darker brown trim. Her hair was left alone except for the pale red strip in her bang. She also had a medium brown chocker on to cover her scar. She was holding a fan that was plain darker brown wood with pale brown paper with white and red plaid. Hizume’s fan was white wood with purple paper with blue polka dots. They al applauded. After they got out they realized the men had left long ago. Walking side by side they also went to dinner together. “Captain will love you in that kimono!” Rangiku cheered making Ishi blush deep. “In what kimono.” A chilly voice said making all nine of the women at the table jump. It was Toshiro. “The one they drug me away thinking i didn’t have one when I did. Still me and Hizu hung around and helped them find kimonos. Sorry Toshiro.” Ishi said her voice softening. Rangiku was close enough to feel her temperature spike. “Oh my are you getting sick?” Rangiku shrieked. Ishi blushed. Hizume giggled. “No the more she likes someone the higher her temperature spikes when she sets eyes on them.” She said. Rangiku and the others began to howl in laughter while Toshiro and Ishi were blushing with slight steam from their ears. “Ishi do you want me to walk you back to your barracks?” Toshiro asked. Ishi nodded and jumped up. She put money down for her portion and her and Toshiro got away for the questioning could begin. “So can I see it?” Toshiro asked. “Not until tomorrow. I and those eight are meeting up. Then we split. Is that alright Toshiro?” Ishi asked. Toshiro nodded. Ishi then grew slightly braver and grabbed his hand. Toshiro jumped at the sudden contact but he held her hand back. Toshiro was excited. Everyone was excited for the festival.
