He was was soft

She kept things hidden , he said whatever he thought

She healed wounds, he inflicted them

Two completely different people, from completely different worlds.

But for some reason Orihime felt drawn to him, ever since their first encounter in Soul Society, then the parallel world between the worlds thing(1), she would find herself occasionally thinking of him at the most random times, then it was generally followed by an ice cream craving.

By the time the threat of the winter war loomed, and Ikkaku came to school, she found herself thinking about the older man a fact if she had to say It herself then she ws starting to think about him more then Ichigo. Orihime stopped on the sidewalk , grocery bag in one hand as she stopped and tilted her head in thought.

She was thinking about Ikakku-kun more then kurosaki-kun! But what did that mean? Orihime frowned, then patted her cheeks, 'frowning won't help me! Maybe I should ask Rangiku about this' she thought immediately perking up and smiling as she walked down the street back to her apartment.

Opening the door she was greeted by Rangiku, Hitsuguya, Ikkaku and Yachimoto all sitting at her table. "Welcome home!" Rangiku said waving her seat farthest from the door.

"I'm sorry, didn't know more people were coming for dinner, I'm not sure if the groceries I bought were enough!" she said as the others looked at the strange assortment of goods in her bag.

"Oh that's all right, Ikkaku I and I were about to leave anyway" yachimoto said with a smile standing up in his gigai, while Ikkaku grumbled on the floor.

"Why are we leaving?" Ikkaku said staring at Orihime for a second then quickly switching to yachimoto(2).

"Because you're not staying here and so you should go fend for yourself!" Rangiku said with a finger in the air as if pointing out the obvious to a child.

"Would you shut up woman, I didn't ask you!" Ikkaku said glaring at the busty strawberry-blonde.

"Well you're the one thinking about taking advantage of poor Orihime and her kind heart!" Rangiku countered as Hitsuguya tried his best to ignore the noise as he worked over some papers.

"would you stop being so lewd woman, you know very well ill get when I'm not wanted!" Ikkaku said the smallest tinge of pink on his cheeks, Orihime stared at the ruckus, perplexed.

Rangiku stuck out her tongue, "oh dear you've made her angry" Yachimoto said sighing

"I wouldnt mind you taking advantage of me…" Orihime said with a smile , the argument immediately stopped even Histuguya looked up and stared at Orihime, Ikkaku's face was slowly turning as red as his eyelids.

"Surely you can't be serious Orihime" Rangiku said confusion written on her features.

"I wouldn't mind at all, Ikkaku is well mannered and really strong, so why not?" she said now even more perplexed. Yachimoto looked like he about to laugh, and Hitsuguya looked shocked.
