Orihime was always an early riser who got up with the sun, but even this is early for her. She yawned behind her hand, holding a slice of buttered toast in the other, as she toddled down the street with a large, heavy backpack slung over her shoulders. She'd packed her clothing as tightly as she could, taking along only the most necessary of necessities since she knew she'd be riding with Kamina, and there was no way they could fit a suitcase on a motorcycle.

It hadn't really occurred to her that she could have stuffed a suitcase into someone else's car. She'd shrugged it off, thinking that it would just burden someone else, and she hates that above all else.

Spotting Kamina, looking fresh and invigorated, Orihime brightened and shot her hand into the air to wave. "Good morning, Kamina!" she called out cheerfully. "Ready to roll when you are!"

[crimsonignition]

He didn't think she'd try to carry THAT much on her own all the way to school, he would have been more than happy to try and off load it in someones car to save her the effort.

Breaking himself away from the others, he jogged over to Orihime hoping to lighten her load. "Jeeze, didn't think a backpack could hold that much stuff!" He said looking quizzically over the heavy looking baggage ready to grab hold of one of it's straps. "Lemme give you a hand with that!"

[leekspin]

"Well, we ARE going to be gone for at least a whole week..." Orihime explained with a sheepish grin. She nodded gratefully at his offer, easing the thing off of her shoulders.

It was heavier than it looked. How did a girl that small manage to get that strong? She certainly didn't look like the muscle-laden type, with those thin arms and legs.

Orihime held her shoulder as she gave it a roll, exhaling in relief. "Whew, that's a lot better, thank you very much! AH! I packed a tin of wasabi balls in there too! I thought we should save them to eat in case you get sleepy while driving, so they'll wake you up and we won't drive off a cliff!" she beamed.

[crimsonignition]

The bag wasn't too heavy, but at the same time Kamina wasn't expecting it to be THAT heavy either. As he relieved it from her shoulders the weight from the bag almost overwhelmed his arm nearly hitting the ground but with a quick recovery he flung it back over his shoulder.

"Heh, no need worryin about that. I've got enough energy to make it through another day! But you know I'll have to take you up on those snacks soon enough!" This might not have been too far from the truth, He was certainly the most energetic out of the group even if he didn't get as much sleep as he had planned last night.

Tohru stretched, stifling a tiny yawn as she leaned against her car.
She spotted Kamina and Orihime and waved at them, "Ohayo Kamina, Hime!" she chirped," Ah- I mean..Good morning!"
"Ive made some snacks for everyone durning the ride! Oh and hime, I brought some peach jam for the cookies you like with them. " she smiled, giving a small thumbs up.
"So, who shall be riding with me?" she asked.

[crimsonignition]

"Heh, with this much food this mornin looks like it's off to a good start!" He grinned as he tossed Orihime's bag along the back seat of tohru's car. It might nor be the best place if there were going to be a lot of people sitting there, but Kamina figured as long as it was somewhere for now they could organize everything later.

"We gotta wait till everyone gets here." he said as he exhaled. "Tch, where's that goof Kittan?"

Rinali walked briskly down the sidewalk toward the school, her backpack in about the same state as Orihime's. She had been afraid she would be late, and didn't want to make a bad first impression on her new friends. She always had difficulty getting up in the mornings, especially because of what her medication did to her...and this morning had been no exception. Her hair was still soaked from her very quick shower she had to take after realizing she slept a half hour too long.

She ran up to the front of the school to meet everyone, panting. She bent down and rested her hands on her knees to try to catch her breath.

"I...I'm...s-sorry I'm...late..." she said through labored breathing. "I..never can.....get up...on...on time..."

[leekspin]

Hearing her nickname, Orihime glanced to her left and spots Tohru. "Ohayouuuu!" she returned the Japanese greeting. Why not? She was fluent, thanks to her big brother, and sometimes it just feels more natural to say. There have been times where she caught herself saying 'yosh!' and 'mou...' too

[rinali_li]

"Y...yea...I'll...I'll be fine..." she said, still trying her best to catch her breath. She took note that she needed to exercise more.

"I'm...really early? I'm surprised...that I made it one time." She slowly stood herself upright and slung her backpack over one shoulder, opening it up to start digging around inside.

"I guess..I'd better take my medicine...before we head out. Are we going to stop for breakfast any time soon? I have to take this stuff a certain amount of time before I eat food..."

[leekspin]

Medicine...? Was she sick? Orihime very nearly piped up about the wasabi balls, since they seemed to be very popular.

But on the other hand, it would make a bad first impression if she burned Rinali's face off with all that wasabi. So what to do? Her gaze fell to the square of toast she still had in her hand, and she beamed. Toast! Toast was normal! And probably a good thing to take with medicine!

"Here you go!" Orihime sprang to the rescue, presenting the toast proudly in both hands. "It's whole wheat, so it's extra nutritious! Hopefully it'll help you feel better very soon!"

[rinali_li]

Rinali stopped digging in her bag long enough to stare at the square of toast...for some reason looking oddly confused.

"...oh! I'm sorry I must have just been talking without realizing it! Hahaha..." she laughed nervously as she played with her left side pigtail with her left hand...a nervous reflex she had.

"It's okay...I have to take the medicine about an hour before I eat anything. Thank you very much for the offer...it's very sweet of you." She gave Orihime a warm smile before turning back to her bag to continue digging for her medicine and bottled water.

A car was suddenly heard screeching down the road just out of sight...when suddenly as it crested the hill a yellow Mitsubishi's wheels all lost contact with the ground. The car landed heavily on the ground and drifted around to park smoothly next to the curb right behind Tohru's vehicle.

Kittan stuck his head and an outstretched fist out of the driver's side window, positioning himself so he could look over the roof of the car at everyone.

"Hell yea! We're goin' on a fieeeeeeeeld trip!" He grinned at everyone and gave a big, over dramatic thumbs up with the toothiest smile a human could possibly manage. "Don't worry, King Kittan doesn't drive like this with precious lives in the car!"

[rinali_li]

Rinali finally recovered her medicine, holding it in the air triumphantly...but her victory was cut short by the sudden sounds of destruction behind her. Rinali turned to stare in shock at Kittan's display of vehicular destruction.

She laughed nervously at Kittan's display, "Well...if you wanted people to ride with you I'm sure you scared them off with that!"

She stormed up to Kittan's car, standing up against the passenger side and leaning her head as far over the top of the car as it could go, stretching an arm out over the top to point at Kittan.

"You should be more careful! What would all of your friends do if you hurt yourself like that??" She huffed and glared, ready to fly into a lecture.

[onigiri_in_a_fb]

Tohru smiled at Orihime and Linali,"Ah its no trouble at all Hime, Im glad you like my jam, and dont worry Linali, we're all arriving so its no trouble at -ALLLLLLLLLLLL" she squeaked loudly, pressing against her when a car randomly schreeched right behind her car.
"..a---a.....arrraaa..." she fanned herself,"O-Ohayo...Kittan.." she squeaked and blushed.

[k1ng_kittan]

Kittan looked at Rinali, a bit confused.

"You make it sound like I've got a whole lotta friends missy." Kittan gave a toothy grin again. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doin' anyway. By the way, name's Kittan...KING Kittan!" He reached his hand over the top of his car, took Rinali's index finger and shook her hand with it.

"Guess this is already off to a fun start, eh?"
