[RR 2006] Scene 1/?
Just a few last minute notes! We will be accepting sign-ups throughout the length of the Round Robin, so don't think that just because we've already started that I won't be blackmailing asking you nicely to join! <3
Also, I began this in Rukia's POV, but feel free to switch when it comes to your turn. Anything goes in this, as long as it's IchiRuki! :D And with that, I hope you all had a wonderful New Years and let's get the ball rolling!

Deciding on Snow Angels
"When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels."
-- Unknown
"You know, we wouldn't be in this mess if you had just listened to me."
Ichigo tried to scoff but it came out more like a pathetic sneeze that made Rukia smirk privately. If he was coming down with a cold it would serve him right. Especially since she wasn't far behind him in that department. Rubbing her cold nose, she looked out over the snow-covered landscape, silently cursing as snowflakes caught in her lashes. Really, she could have been at home where it was warm, having hot tea and reading that new manga Orihime had let her borrow. It was getting so good, too, Reichi was just about to ask Tanaka to the dance...
"I did listen to you and look where we are! Out in the fucking snow because you had to pick up a last minute gift with my money." Ichigo motioned to the bag he carried, a scowl on his face. Well, at least he hadn't tried to peek at her gift yet. She wasn't about to tell him the present he carried was for-
Ichigo sneezed abruptly, his whole body jerking forward. He glared at her as she laughed but the effect was lost as he snuffled miserably.
"Come on," she said, moderating her tone a little. It really wouldn't do to torture him too much. "Just a little further and we can get out of the snow for awhile."
They were in the forest by the cemetery, ascending the long flight of stairs that led to the small temple on the hill. The trees around them were covered with white and the strange stillness that came with snowfall muffled all sounds, giving them the oddest sensation that they were truly alone in a city full of people. Rukia found she really enjoyed winter. She liked bundling on layers of clothes, wrapping a scarf around her neck and slipping gloves on her fingers. It made her feel warm inside as well as outside.
And the scenery was awfully nice to look at, too. It was like one of those photographs that came with new picture frames.
Her breath coming in little puffs, Rukia buried her hands deeper into her coat pockets and concentrated on making her way up the stairs, leaving Ichigo to slip and slide his way up behind her. By the time they reached the crest of the hill, she was feeling a little overheated under all her layers and Ichigo was cursing about his feet being cold. He almost ran into her as she stopped abruptly, doing an awkward turn to keep from knocking her into a snowbank.
"Why the hell did you stop?" he grumbled, the shopping bag swinging. She didn't answer, just stared ahead of them, dark eyes widening slightly. He followed her gaze and paused, blinking himself.
"What the heck is that?"
TBC...
