A/N: Hey! This is my newest fanfic. So, I hope that you enjoy it. I don't own Bleach, Title Kubo does.
Chapter One: New Spiritual Pressure
Rukia and Ichigo walked out the door of the Kurosaki clinic, hearing Issin cry to his late wife's picture.
"What is he crying about now?" Rukia asked as the two of them walked down the street towards Urahara's. Ichigo just shrugged his shoulders as they passed an alley way. Suddenly a voice rang out behind then, causing the teens to stop and turn around.
"Hey babe. Come with me and leave the carrot-top," a man said as he felt up Rukia. Ichigo pulled Rukia away from the man and pushed her behind himself.
"Hands off," Rukia and Ichigo stated at the same time.
"Why?" the man asked, getting mad. He always got the women he wanted.
"Dude, you really think that my girlfriend would leave me for you?" Ichigo arched an eyebrow at the man as Rukia took his hand and intertwined their fingers. "I believe that both of us would appreciate it if you left us alone." Ichigo and Rukia turned around and continued on their way. Once they were about five blocks from the shop did Rukia speak up.
"So, I'm your girlfriend?" Rukia teased as Ichigo groaned. Neither one noticed that they were still holding hands.
"Shudup! I had to think quickly…" Ichigo trailed off as the soul reaper and substitute soul reaper entered the shop's lot.
"I know, just had to tease you." Rukia laughed as they walked towards the door. Suddenly the door opened and Orihime walked out.
"Ichigo! About time you got here," Orihime stated as Rukia released Ichigo's hand, much to both of their disappointment.
"Hey, Orihime," Ichigo replied as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Hey, Rukia. Sorry, I didn't see you there." Orihime turned her attention to Rukia, giving her a cold glare. Rukia shiverd a little bit before replying back.
"Hey, Orihime." Rukia truly wondered what caused Orihime to be cold to her, or rude for that matter, but didn't want to ask and cause a problem. Ichigo glanced at Orihime before looking at Rukia.
"Come on, let's go inside." Ichigo led the way inside the shop.
"About time, Strawberry," Renji said as Ichigo sat down across from him. Ichigo flipped Renji off as Rukia sat on his left, next to Chad, while Orihime sat down on Ichigo's right next to Uryu. Ichigo noticed that Tatsuki was watching Orihime closely.
I'll have to talk to her about it. Ichigo thought as Urahara noticed that he was there.
"Well now, that Ichigo is here, we can begin," Urahara spoke up from behind his fanm.
"What's going on Hat-n-Clogs?" Ichigo questioned as Rukia looked at him before turning to Urahara with her attention.
"There's some spikes of spiritual pressure in Hueco Mundo. I know that we have to worry about Aizen , but this is stronger than him." Urahara watched as Ichigo glanced at Rukia and the others before his attention to Renji again.
"Oi, Pineapple. Did you or Rukia get any orders from the Soul Society?" Ichigo inquired as Rukia glanced at him again before pulling out her soul pager.
"No. This is new to them also. Everyone's worried about the upcoming war this winter," Rukia replied as Renji nodded his head in agreement. Orihime turned to Rukia to face her.
"Maybe you should go back and report this to the captians," Orihime suggested as Ichigo and Tatsuki looked at her.
What the hell? I need to talk to Orihime after this. Ichigo glanced at Tatsuki and saw that she didn't like what Orihime said either. "The captians most likely already know, right?" Ichigo questioned the two soul reapers as they nodded their heads.
"It needs to be anaylized more. You guys can hang here or go. Bye," Urahara said as he stood up and walked away, causing the teens to look at him. Rukia sighed before standing up and stretching.
"I'm heading to the park. Anyone coming with?" Rukia's question was answered by six yeahs.
"Orihime, can I talk to you for a second?" Ichigo asked her as she stood up.
"Sure." Orihime sat down again as Ichigo looked at the others.
"We'll be right there guys." Ichigo noticed that Chad nodded his head.
"Just hurry," Chad replied before following the others out the door.
"What's going on, Ichigo?" Orihime asked as he faced her.
"What's going on between you and Rukia?" Ichigo demanded as Orihime stared at him dumbly.
A/N: So what did you think? I don't really like Orihime. I am a Ichigo and Rukia person. I think that Orihime is more of a good friend to Ichigo. So there are going to OOC moments with the characters. Read and Review please.
