PLAYING WITH ORANGE FIRE

Chapter 1 "Stay with me"

She looked carefully up on him and couldn't help but blush, not from embarrassing, but from shame. She really was a clumsy person. She didn't want to interrupt or trouble him at work, but here she was. Sitting in the chair waiting for Ichigo to stitch her wounded finger.

She had a little accident on work while she was cutting up the sandwich breads and had almost cut of her whole finger. Not only had she left the kitchen in a whole mess with her blood and the manager had to drag her to the hospital, but of all the hospitals in the town it had to be were Ichigo worked. She had waited in patience for the doctor to arrive to stitch her finger, and almost jumped of the chair when she saw Ichigo come in the door.

Even if she now was a twenty-one year old mature woman, Ichigo still had this effect on her. To make her paralyzed only by looking on her and to make all her bones tightened when he touched her.

When he at first had touched her wounded finger she had to use all her force not to drag her finger back, it really was difficult to act normal around him.

"What happend to your finger, Inoue?" Ichigo asked while cleaning the wound on her finger, and Orihime snapped out from her thoughts when she heard his voice. She could feel her cheeks become warm by embarrassment "I-Its kinda embarrassing" She said while laughing awkwardly and her other hand scratching her head.

"Its a little deep and need three stitches, but I can guess you cut yourself?" Ichigo looked up and saw Orihime in the eyes with a half smile on his face, while Orihime felt her face become hotter "Y-Yes, it was a accident on work" She smiled to him and Ichigo started to find the equipment's he needed.

She saw he took up some kind of a small scissor, a pincer and a tread. When Orihime stole a glance from Ichigo she couldn't help but smile in admire, he was so serious about his work. From the years she had know him he had become more mature, and also more handsome. He had grown taller, if that was even possible and he had let his hair grown. He was unbelievable handsome.

"Something on my face, Inoue?" Orihime widen her eyes and realized she had been caught by staring on him, and she saw Ichigo smiled a little teasing to her. She could die in embarrassing now "N-No no! It was j-just… I-I really admire you being so serious about your work" She didn't make the situation more comfortable by saying this "Thanks, I guess. It may hurt a little but I will finish it quick"

She watched him take the small scissor in his hand and the tread in the other; she tried to hold her eyes down and forcefully holding her head down. But her eyes soon were up on his face; she knew it wasn't a smart to stare. When she saw Ichigo move his head up she immediately turned her head to the right, "I'm going to start now" She heard him say and saw in the corner of her eyes he took his face down, and shut her eyes when she felt pain in her finger.

"How is Ulquiorra?" Orihime blinked two times before recorded his question "He's doing great and he is working hard on his job" Ulquiorra was her boyfriend and they had been together in 3 months now, but they didn't see each other quiet often like a couple would do. Both were busy at work and Ulquiorra was especially busy in the moment, she hadn't seen him for almost a week now.

"W-What about you? Have you someone?" She felt really awkward asking the question, but she was really curious and couldn't help feeling disappointed if he says yes.

Ichigo chuckled "No, I had someone one month ago but it didn't work out can you say" Didn't work out?

"Why?"She didn't mean to ask the question, it was after all personal.

"I-I mean of course you don't need to-" "No its alright" he said interrupting her.

"She didn't like my family and was a little.. kinky" Orihime widen her eyes, kinky? And didn't like his family? What kind of girl had he be seeing?

"Well, I like your family Kurosaki-kun" She said with a smile.

Ichigo laughed "I can sure you that they like you too Inoue"

Orihime blushed by the comment and Ichigo faced her, chocolate brown meeting stormy grey.

"I'm finish" He murmured interrupted the silent between them, Orihime took her gaze away from Ichigo and looked on her finger and smiled in admire of his work"Ahh, Its pretty! You could work as a tailor if you get tired from working as a doctor" She said happily.

Ichigo smiled by the comment "Saying its pretty is a new reaction from a patient" He knew only Inoue could be the only person to call a stitched finger pretty.

"Then I will take my leave"

She took her jacket from her chair and faced him once more "I'm sorry for troubling you and thank you very much for stitching my finger Kurosaki-kun" She bowed in respect to him.

"You never trouble me, Inoue. I just hope you will be more careful with the knifes on work from now on" Orihime rose up and smiled to him, Ichigo giving back a little smile before she started to walk to the door.

"If you have any time and want you can come and taste our delicious bread, its very good and taste heavenly" She said and was halfway out the door " I surely will and… say hey to Ulquiorra from me"

She nodded while saying "I will! Goodbye Kurosaki-kun and help many patients" before she was out the door, leaving him all alone.

Ichigo took his hand trough his orange hair "Damn" he said in frustration. She still had this effect on him.

Orihime scanned her finger once again while she was walking out the hospital; she smiled and was interrupted when her phone was ringing. She searched in her jacket pocket and found the yelling telephone.

She happily greeted "Hello, Orihime speaking" She waited for response and finally a familiar voice was heard.

"Hello, where are you?" It was Ulquiorra, a voice and a face she haven't seen a while.

"I'm right outside the hospital, how are you doing Ulquiorra-kun?"

"Hospital? Why are you with the hospital?"

"I had a little accident at work" Orihime said while laughing a little for her clumsiness and you could hear he sighed.

"Stay were you are, I will come and get you" he sounded tired.

"Okey then, I will wait for you. See you soon!"

He gave her a low goodbye before he hung up, Orihime looking on her phone before she laid it back in her jacket pocket. It was a little cold outside because it was close to Christmas, and there was even a little snow on the streets. It was only two months till Christmas, what in the world should she give Ulquiorra? And her friends? Well she had time to decide.

Orihime took her wrist out from her pocket and looked on the clock,it was seven.

She had waited here for almost 30 minutes and started to get a little worry about Ulquiorra, he was never late but if he were, he would always give her a message. She found herself a spot to sit but when her bottom touched the seat, she almost let out a squeak because it was so cold. But she managed to sit down and waited like a dog for his owner to come home.

She looked on her clock again, it was over nine.

Had she really waited for him over two hours? and it started to become dark to. She took up her phone no calls or messages, and for her luck it was out of power.

She should take a taxi home but she didn't have any money with her, but she could walk home, but that would take her almost one hour. She sighed and decided it would be for the best to just wait for Ulquiorra to come, she didn't have a phone now either so he couldn't contact her.

She took out her shivering fingers from the cold jacket pockets and started to blow warm breaths on them, trying to get some warmth on her pink fingers. She blew two more times before she took her hands up to her cheeks trying to warm them too, it was getting really cold.

"Inoue?"

She squeaked in surprise and jumped up from her seat,

"K-Kurosaki-kun?" She said trying to hide her shivering.

"What the hell are you doing outside here on this hour?" Ichigo scowled at her, he saw clearly that she was shivering and her nose was dangerously pink. He scanned her from top to toe, she was only wearing jeans, a white shirt and a blue jacket that didn't even cover her ass.

"I-I waited for Ulquiorra-kun"

She was even pecking teeth, goddamn it.

"Why didn't you ask me to drive you home? Or at least waiting inside so you don't freeze your freaking butt off" She saw and heard he was annoyed.

"I-I couldn't ask you to drive me home when you were working and I bet Ulquiorra will be here soon" She smiled to him.

Ichigo sighed "Of course you could ask me Inoue, have you been waiting here since I stitched your finger?"

He knew the answer it was clearly but he just hoped she would say no.

"Uhm… yes, but really is not a big deal! He will come soon" She waved her hands in front of her face and since she have covered her face and fingers, Ichigo snapped when he saw how blue they were. It was fucking dangerous to stay out with this little clothing on such a cold day.

He marched up to her and almost yelled at her when he touched her fingers, she is cold as ice.

"K-Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime said in surprise by his action, he had suddenly grapped her hand and looked quiet mad.

"You are freezing to death Inoue. You are fucking blue on you fingers, can you even feel them?"

He stared on her and she blinked,

"I-I'm…"

She couldn't answer when he was standing so close to her and he was even staring at her, how lucky she was that her cheeks was pink from the cold.

He let go of her hand and started to take off his jacket and when Orihime understood his action she waved her hands in front of her face again in protest

"No no Kurosaki-kun! I cant have you too freezing"

He didn't seem to listen to her and took on his jacket on her,

"Don't argue with me now Inoue"

She was going to say something back but didn't get the chance when he took her ice cold hand again and started to walk.

"N-No Kurosaki-kun, I have to wait for him to come, I don't have the key to my apartment"

He stopped but he still held her hand and turned to face her,

"Where is your key?"

She fidget and said embarrassed "I forget my bag at work, because I thought I was going back after I had been on the hospital. But then Ulquiorra-kun called me to wait here instead, and he has the other key"

She didn't face him but she could feel he was looking at her.

"Where is he?"

She still didn't face him and answered, "I-I don't know, by phone died"

Ichigo let go of her hand and she already missed the warmth from him, he searched in his pocket and handed her his phone, she looked up at him.

"Go ahead and call him" She said thank you and carefully took the phone out from his hand and slowly started to dial Ulquiorra's number, it was a little hard to type it because her fingers was shivering the whole time.

When she pressed call she took the phone up to her hear and listened. She only heard the ringing sound and after a while a voice come,

"This is Ulquiorra"

Orihime smiled "Ulqui-"

"I'm busy for now, leave a message. Piip"

He didn't pick it up, this was his voicemail.

She swallowed her own salvia "You... You can stay at my place till tomorrow" She suddenly heard Ichigo said and she looked up at him in surprise.

"I mean you don't have your key and he doesn't pick up his phone, so if you want you can stay with me" He was right, she didn't have any other place to go and she didn't have money to stay at a she was once again bothering him.

"I already told you before, you don't bother or trouble me Inoue" He said like he had read her mind, Orihime licked her lips and didn't know where to look.

"I-Is it really alright Kurosaki-kun?" She said hesitating,

"I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't"

She looked up at him and almost forced herself to say "Then, I will stay with you. B-But only till tomorrow and you will have your place again!"

She realized she was still holding his phone and she handed it over to him "It is still on voice mail, tell him you are at my place"

She nodded and placed the phone back to her hear again.

"U-Ulquiorra-kun? I will stay one night with Kurosaki-kun; my phone is dead so you can't contact me with it. I'm worried about you and I hope you are all right, I will see you soon then… Goodbye and goodnight"

It was kinda awkward leaving a voice message while Ichigo was listening. She handed him the phone while saying her thanks and he started to walk with Orihime following after.
