Chapter 1: The Boy in the leather jacket

Tatsuki and I stood inside my empty apartment. Saying the final goodbyes was unbearably sad and I felt my heart clench painfully. The weight of the fact that I was leaving to go to college on my own weighed heavily on my mind. As expected my eyes started watering. She looked at me and shook her head.

"I thought we agreed no tears" she said wrapping her arms around me in a hug.

"But Tatsuki-chan, I don't want to go without you" I said in between sobs. She held me tighter as my tears became a gushing waterfall.

"I'm joining you in three months! Just hold on till then" She said patting my back. I took a deep breath that failed to clam me down. It's just three months, three months without my best friend in the world that I could do nothing without.

I tried to put a smile on my face but I'm sure it looked more like a pained grimace through my puffy red eyes. She shook her head and pinched my cheeks.

"Don't exaggerate, this is college! Your chance to explore and go a little wild till I get there" She said smiling although I could see she was also blinking away some tears.

Tatsuki was going to Tokyo for three months to study as an apprentice to a martial artist professional in some big shot university. It was such a huge honor and probably our school's proudest achievement this year. I was proud of her and completely overjoyed until I found out I'd have to go to Ishigawa University on my own.

"I'll be fine." I say to stop Tatsuki from worrying, as I know she would.

"Don't have too much fun" she says smiling. I almost burst into tears again but instead I pull a shaky thumb up. She shakes her head at me and pulls me into another hug.

As expected I spent the entire taxi ride crying in the back seat. I must have made the taxi man uncomfortable because he tried to cheer me up by playing some cheerful music. He played a song I knew, a song Tatsuki and I had danced to many times. This of course resulted in me crying louder. The confused taxi man started sweating and sped up to reach our destination faster.

Although Karakura was a small town, Ishigawa University was a very prestigious university and I had been ecstatic when I'd gotten accepted. The taxi pulled up in front of the huge black gates. It was huge, the building was a mix between modern and old architecture. I could stare at it forever but I had to help the taxi driver with my luggage. After I paid him he looked at me awkwardly before he said in a sympathetic tone, "Good luck. It won't be that bad"

I smiled for the first time today and he nodded before entering his taxi and driving away. I felt silly for bawling like a child but I tried to cheer myself up.

Tatsuki's instructions were;

1. Don't shed a single tear when you get there, smile and have fun.

2. Don't have too much fun, stay the fuck away from people that I wouldn't approve of.

My luggage wasn't too heavy and I didn't have any trouble dragging it to what I guessed was the administration office. The secretary there seemed bored and she completed my registration without smiling once. I didn't let it bother me though; she probably had a long day. I thank her politely when she hands me my schedule and a map of the campus. She returns my smile and I leave the office.

I feel a tingly excitement as I walk the distance to the dormitories. By the time I reach there, I'm panting slightly and my arms are starting to cramp up. When I realize my room is on the third floor I almost faint but thankfully there is an elevator. I drag my luggage to the open lift. Before I get there a tall boy with spiky orange hair enters first. He presses the button before I could enter.

"Hold the lift please!" I yell walking faster as the doors begin closing. The boy ignores me and pushes his hands into his pocket, the doors are closing but I jump in the second before they close. I pull my boxes in and try not to glare at him. He notices my disapproving look and shrugs.

In the silence of the lift I can't help staring at him from the corner of my eye. He was wearing a leather jacket, the type with spikes that said 'don't touch me' He was wearing torn jeans to complete his bad boy look. Except he didn't look anything like a boy, he was more like a man-boy.

The lift stops and I pull my stuff out with my stiff arms. I want nothing more than to crash on the nearest bed, as I walk towards my room I notice the boy came off at the same floor. I don't think much about it but when he starts walking down the same hallway I start feeling uncomfortable. I walk faster and reach my room.

My eyes widen when I see him standing right behind me, I stand there staring at him in shock. Why was he following me? With the deep scowl on his face, he looked scary. The type of scary that you don't want following you to the place you sleep. I don't even know what to say, is this the part where I beg for mercy? Or is it too soon for that?

"Are you going in or not?" he says raising a brow at me. I gasp and I'm not sure if it's because of his question or because of how his deep voice sent chills down my spine.

When I don't answer he reaches past me and opens the door. I look down at the piece of paper with my room number on it, maybe I made a mistake, and maybe this isn't my room. However when I looked down the information I had told me I was right, this should be my room. I carefully push open the door the boy had left ajar and look inside.

What I see inside almost has me walking the opposite way, there are about five people lounging in the room.

The boy that just walked in lay on one of the beds and made himself comfortable on the bed. On the other bed there was a girl whose hair was much like my auburn hair playing with her phone, A kid with white hair reading a book and two guys that were arguing loudly. I stood there extremely confused, finally the girl noticed me.

"Oh! You must be Orihime! I'm Rangiku, your roommate!" She hugged me extremely tightly and I was a bit surprised but I smiled at her anyways.

"Nice to meet you" I said dropping my bags.

"Oh my gosh! You're absolutely hot! I'm so glad! My roommate last year was a total bore! But I'm so glad!" She immediately started playing with my hair and pulling my cheeks. I had no idea what to say to that so I smiled.

"Oh right! I'll introduce these guys to you. Ok the baldy over there is Ikkaku and-

"Who the hell are you calling bald?! I'm like this by choice!" The bald guy shouted loudly, he was completely bald, his head was shining like a light bulb. On top of that he was wearing some kind of red eyeliner and his eyebrow was pierced. I couldn't help staring.

"Hey you! Are you staring at my hair?!" he yelled at me so loudly I jumped

"What hair?" the guy next to him said.

"That's Renji" Rangiku said beside me, Renji had long bright red hair tied up in a pony tail but what was extremely fascinating about Renji were the tattoos that were peeking up from his chest and circled his face and joined to his eyebrows. Again I found myself staring. I had never seen people as…colorful as these guys.

"That cutie over there is Toushiro" Matsumoto said pointing at the white haired kid. I tore my eyes away from the bald guy and the flame haired guys to look at the white haired kid.

"That's Hitsugaya to you!" he said frowning adorably.

"Yes sir!" Rangiku said in a joking tone, she turned to me and whispered loudly, "He's kind of a teacher" I must have looked surprised because Rangiku smiled; he looked like a high school kid and a short one at that.

"He's kind of a genius prodigy so he's a researcher for the university. He doesn't actually teach" she reassured me.

"Wow! That's unbelievable! You must be a genius Toushi- I mean Hitsugaya-san" I said smiling at him. He blushed and crossed his arms clearing his throat.

Rangiku laughed and Hitsugaya glared at her.

"It's nice to meet all of you" I said smiling politely at each of them. They either ignored me or nodded.

"So come on make yourself at home! This is your room!" Rangiku spread her arms out. "This one is my closet, the one on that side is yours, the study desk is for both of us but you might as well call it yours I only use it as a coffee table. Oh, and this is my bed and that one is yours." She pointed at the bed with the orange haired boy on it.

"The rude human being on your bed is Ichigo." Rangiku said pointing at who I now knew was Ichigo. He hadn't been paying attention to anything that we had said so far and he didn't even look up.

I wanted to sit down somewhere to take off these shoes that were starting to kill me but I felt so awkward I didn't know what to do. Rangiku stared at me clueless and I smiled back, still standing by the door awkwardly.

"Uhmm we should leave" Hitsugaya said. He stood up and Ikkaku and Renji got up too.

"You guys are leaving? I thought we could get to know each other, I mean…" Rangiku pouted.

"She must be tired, let her get settled before you pester her" Hitsugaya said pulling Rangiku away towards the door.

"Aren't you going to leave bastard?" Renji yelled at Ichigo. Ichigo glared at Renji and then shot me an annoyed look. Without a word he got up and left. When the room was empty I took a deep breath. I felt so overwhelmed all of a sudden. The weight of leaving home hit me and I tried to slow down my breathing. I had to get used to this, I had to adjust.

I distracted myself by unpacking all my clothes into the closet Rangiku had said was mine. It didn't take long but I was so exhausted all I could think about was how much I wanted to sleep. Instead of sleeping I decided to take a shower. I took my towel and shower things and hurried down the hallway to the bathroom.

The hot water felt like heaven, I washed my hair and brushed my teeth. After I felt completely refreshed I walked back to my room. My mood was brighter and I was smiling at myself. When I opened the door and closed it behind me I screamed.

Ichigo was standing in the room; he looked up when I screamed. I was wearing nothing but a towel and he was looking at me up and down slowly.

"What are you doing in here?!" I whisper shouted. My heart beat sped up at the look on his face and I'm sure I was blushing as red as a tomato.

"I left my jacket" he said holding up the leather jacket in his hand. He started walking towards me and I quickly moved away. But right then I heard a ripping sound. In horror I froze. Looking back I saw that my towel had caught on the door. Slowly I looked down at myself and then slowly up at Ichigo.

I was standing there in front of him completely naked. Completely, butt naked.

You know those moments that last forever? Where time seems to move in slow motion, when your body seems to move so slow no matter how hard you try you can't react fast enough? This was one of those moments for me. As I stood there completely naked in front of Ichigo, our eyes staring at each other's, mine in horror, his in shock. I could not move fast enough. His eyes slowly lowered as my hands tried to cover up whatever skin they could. I screamed and my body finally sprang into action.

I jumped forward and slapped my hands over Ichigo's eyes. This was a very wrong move because he fell backwards onto the bed with me on top of him. This situation just became a hundred times more embarrassing. I was lying down naked on top of a guy I met an hour earlier! I was about to explode but I didn't take my hands off his eyes.

"I'm sorry! But... don't look!" He smirked and chuckled.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" he asked, his voice was rough and I started feeling hot and squeamish.

"I-…"

"I mean underneath those bulky church clothes, you're pretty hot." My face became hot.

"Y-you saw?"

"Yes, I did. I saw everything so can you take your hands off my eyes now. Not that I'm complaining having you naked on top of me."

My whole body grew hot and I found my chest beating faster and faster almost to a point it was painful.

"Promise not to look" I said quietly.

"I've already-"

"Just keep your eyes closed please!" I pleaded with him. He sighed before he nodded. Slowly I took my hands off his eyes. Like he promised they were closed. For a second I looked at him, and again I noticed he was completely flawless. I slowly got off him and without turning my back to him, I walked back to the door. I pulled my towel from the door. It wasn't torn so I wrapped it around myself again.

"Y-you can open your eyes again" I said with a blush on my face. He opened his eyes slowly and I almost gasped at the beautiful sight of his chocolate brown eyes. He stood up and picked up his jacket. He passed me and left. I don't know if I was disappointed or glad he didn't say anything. Either way my heart was beating long after he left.

AN: Leave me a review to let me know what you guys think. Till later :D
