Chapter 1
Inoue felt herself bump into someone as she was absent minded walking back from school. She fell backwards on to the pavement, "I'm sorry." She looked up at a man with long red hair and a very friendly face. He was wearing regular street clothes but he looked like a teenager, shouldn't he of been wearing a school uniform?
"No my apologizes," he said holding out his hand to let her up. He was the one who hadn't been paying attention while he was walking. She grabbed his hand and he fluidly pulled her back on her feet. "Are you alright?"
"Uhm," Inoue was at a loss for words, who was this man, he was very handsome.
"Miss?" The man asked again looking at her, did he really hurt her? Did she have a concussion or was anything broken and she was in shock?
"Oh yes I am fine, and sorry again," Inoue said as she picked her bag up off the ground and ran away smiling and waving. She decided it would be safe to run all the way to her house, non-stop. She didn't even stop as she passed Rukia and Ichigo as they said hi to her.
"What's that all about?" Ichigo said as him and Rukia were left in the dust. Inoue never acted rude like that, she always said hi and came over to talk to them.
"I don't know maybe we should check on her?" Rukia said worried as she watched Inoue's back retreat farther and farther away from them.
"Nah, we will just ask her at school tomorrow," Ichigo said as he yawned and scratched the back of his head. "We have to go pick Karin up and take her to her soccer game."
"Yeah, all right," Rukia said hanging her head as they walked along to Karin's school.
After the game they all returned back to Ichigo's house and Yuzu had cooked up a dinner for them. Isshin was sitting at the table moping and over exaggerating crying so that his children would ask him what was wrong.
"Dad stop," Ichigo said smacking his father on the back of the head. Isshin started to wail even louder and grabbing at Karin's shirt.
"DAD!" Karin screamed as she tried to wiggle away from her father, he was so embarrassing.
"My daughter, my son, do you not care what is upsetting your dear old Papa?" Isshin yelled as he grabbed Ichigo's pant leg leaving Karin's shirt. He wrapped himself around Ichigo's leg and cried as hard as he could.
"No we don't," Ichigo shouted kicking his leg forwards causing his father to go flying off and into the other room. There Isshin decided to stay curled in a ball and continued to cry throughout dinner.
"Guys, what do you think could be bothering him so much?" Yuzu said as she handed Rukia a bowl of rice.
"Who cares," Karin and Ichigo said at the exact same time and then they both dug into their food.
"They are so in sync," Rukia mumbled feeling sorry for Isshin and embarrassed for Yuzu, this family was one huge mess.
The next day at school Rukia decided she would talk to Inoue alone. So before they met at the usual spot to eat lunch she pulled her into an empty class room. "Inoue what happened yesterday? Me and Ichigo are worried about you," Rukia said leaning against the closed door so Inoue couldn't bolt.
"Well, its nothing really," Inoue said as her face went red and she was starting to feel butterflies in her stomach as she remembered his face.
"Why did you run away from us?" Rukia looked at the girl, what was wrong with her, something serious must of happened.
"I just met this guy," Inoue said and Rukia felt like falling down.
"You met some guy and you ran away from him and us?" This was unbelievable never in a million years would she assume Inoue's issue involved some guy.
"Yeah we bumped into each other, and he was so nice. To tell you the truth I feel really stupid, I couldn't even talk to him," Inoue said still blushing as she recounted the whole thing to Rukia. She had to tell someone and Rukia had asked first so she would tell her about this mystery guy she had met.
"Wow," Rukia mumbled to herself, Inoue never told her these kinds of things before. She guessed it was alright, they were friends right? "You have to find this guy," Rukia said after she had heard the way Inoue talked about him. This man and Inoue were destined to be together, it was fate and Inoue ran from it. Now Inoue had to take the high road and find him and confess to him, and Rukia would be there to help her.
"No, I mean, how?" Inoue said looking at the confident Rukia, she was jealous of her strength.
"How old do you think he was?" Rukia asked as they both sat down at a desk and Rukia sat backwards in a chair so they were face to face. She pulled out her notebook so she could draw him as Inoue described him.
"The thing is, he looked like he was in high school but he was wearing regular clothes," Inoue said feeling like this whole thing was hope less, she would never meet him again.
"Well that is quite a problem," Rukia said as she closed her notebook and they tried to think of something else.
Else where Ichigo and his friends sat on the roof eating their lunches and messing around, "Where did the girls go?" Keigo asked looking around at all the males, he missed his female peers that usually sat with them.
"Probably with the other girls," Chad said as he pointed backwards out onto the grounds where the rest of girls usually ate lunch.
"Ugh, I like it when they are here, Sausage fest is so gay!" Keigo screamed grabbing his hair and pulling it.
"What is sausage fest?" Chad asked looking down at Keigo who was having a mental breakdown.
"Um, he just means he doesn't like having all of us guys together with out a few women," Ishida said as no one else wanted to explain it to Chad. Chad was so clueless, Ishida hated naïve people, but Chad was his friend so he dealt with it.
"Hot women!" Keigo cried looking down at the floor, he was so depressed all of a sudden.
After school Rukia and Ichigo decided to walk with Inoue and go into town and get something to eat. Since the girls had talked throughout lunch and Ichigo usually never ate lunch. As they walked the girls talked and Ichigo didn't even pay any attention. As he walked he felt some strong spiritual pressure that they were approaching, was a captain near? As he walked behind them he tried to locate where it was coming from. The girls stopped walking and Ichigo not paying attention bumped into them and Rukia turned around and punched him.
"What the hell did we stop for?" Ichigo yelled at Rukia holding his throbbing jaw, "Your punches are so manly!"
Rukia's vein in her forehead popped out and she punched him again before turning back to Inoue, "Why did we stop?"
"Look," Inoue said pointing across the street. There he sat with a man who had orange hair and wearing a blue uniform and another man with black spiky hair and wore all black. They were sitting at a table and seemed to be eating as the orange haired man ranted and raved about something. "That guy with the long red hair, that's him!"
Rukia looked to the men and her eyes narrowed on the man Inoue was talking about, he seemed very calm and aware. "I think that's a girl," Rukia said knowing it was a man but he looked ridiculous with that hair.
"Yep that is defiantly a woman," Ichigo said as he joined the conversation and watched the three men. Then he remembered the pressure, it was really close, there was more than one. He looked around and couldn't place it any where, then he looked back at the men, was it them?
Inoue and Rukia watched just the man with red hair as he talked to the others, even the way he moved his mouth was mesmerizing. As Rukia looked at him more, he just grew more handsome each second. The man looked up from his conversation and looked directly at them, Inoue and Rukia quickly turned their backs to him. "Damn, now I can see why you ran from him. His eyes are heart shattering," Rukia said as she held her chest where her heart was pounding.
Ichigo looked at the too girls who were giggling and acting strange, "What the hell?" He looked back at the men and the red head was coming their way. Ichigo cracked his knuckles, no doubt about it the strongest was headed their way. The man smiled as he crossed the street over to them and he ignored Ichigo as he tapped on Inoue's shoulder.
Inoue turned around and bowed, "I'm sorry, I was just," she started trying to avoid his eyes.
He laughed, "It is alright, I just came over to make sure you were okay." The man looked at her as Inoue finally looked at his face.
"Yes I am thank you," Inoue said smiling, he was so nice!
"My name is Kurama Minamino," he said holding out his hand.
Inoue hesitated for a moment but then she grabbed his hand, it was so soft. "I'm Orihime Inoue, and these are my friends Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki," she said and Kurama shook both of their hands.
"Kurama who are these people?" The gruff loud voice of the orange haired man boomed behind Kurama. He pushed Kurama to the side and looked at the 3 people his friend was talking too.
"Um, that is," Kurama started trying to get his friend to be more polite with out telling him.
"Huh? Oh names Kuwabara Kazuma," he said giving them all a sheepish smile.
Ichigo was eyeing Kurama suspiciously and as if Kurama knew it he looked back at Ichigo with a stern face. "Who are you?" Ichigo blurted out at him and he didn't seem taken back at all.
"That is none of your concern," Kurama said nicely and he felt Rukia's eyes on him as well.
Rukia didn't know why she hadn't sensed them earlier; she was way to wrapped up in Inoue's stuff. She was surprised that Ichigo had noticed before she had, that was something new.
"What do you mean, what the heck is that?" Kuwabara blurted out looking at Ichigo, he felt his spirit energy rising. "Don't do that are you trying to attract them!" Kuwabara was screaming at Ichigo and surprised Ichigo quickly lowered it.
"Attract who?" Ichigo asked looking at the annoying man.
"Don't worry about it, we have it all taken care of," the short man with black hair had now joined them, he must of gotten lonely and left out. As fast as he appeared him and Kurama were just as fast gone.
Kuwabara looked around, "Where the hell did they go?" He looked around for them, he hated when they left him in the dust.
"Who are you guys?" Rukia asked knowing that this man would most defiantly tell them.
"We are Spirit Detectives, who are you guys?" Kuwabara looked at them with his shoulders hunched, he hated being left behind.
"Don't worry about it," Ichigo said as he looked at Rukia for an answer, but she looked completely lost.
"What don't pull that shit on me; if you're not going to tell me then I will just pummel it out of ya!" Kuwabara screamed at them but the just walked away.
Inoue didn't want to leave, she wanted to talk to Kuwabara more, but Rukia was pushing her away. She looked back as Kuwabara started to scream threats at them but Rukia pushed on.
