This story is based on an other story from me; called: "The sleepoverparty"
!warning!Renjixichigo and Yaoi (in later parts)!
my first intention was to make thi story an oneshot story, but i couldn't make it on time before i went to greece ( and i promised to my reviewers from "the sleepoverparty" that i would update this story before i would go to greece) so i decided to make it a story in more parts. this is the first part and i hope it's good enough...

THE COOLDOWN.
part 1:
"Why are you always calling me out?"
"Because you're annoying me! Isn't that obvious?"
"Boke!"
"Are you calling me a Boke? Baka!"
"BAKA!"
"Are they still fighting with each other? It's never gonna stop, is it?" Orihime asked, and she looked at the fighting Renji and Ichigo.
"No, probably not." Ishida replied, he pushed up the bridge of his glasses; a flash of light lit the glass in his pair of spectacles and blinded Orihime's eyes.
She said nothing and sat down on a bench. Rukia sat next to Inoue on the bench, and looked at the scene Ichigo and Renji were making. "It's hopeless. If this is going to happen every time they see each other and we're supposed to beat some hollows it's going to be very hard. We need a plan."
Everyone agreed, and they came together to make a plan.
While Sado, Orihime, Rukia and Ishida were plotting, Ichigo and Renji were having a long silence and had their backs turned against each other with their arms crossed.
"Okay, that's it. It's brilliant!" Inoue said excitingly, and she looked over her shoulder at the two immature boys. She blinked and smirked of excitement. Renji saw her facial expression and poked Ichigo.
"What are they doing?" He asked, and tried to hear what they were saying.
"How the hell should I know? I'm not a medium or something!" Ichigo replied, and he avoided eye contact with Renji.
"OI! You over there!" Renji shouted pointing at the plotting group of friends. "What are you talking 'bout?" He continued, and glanced angrily.
"Not for your ears!" Rukia said, smirking at the pair of guys. Renji turned to Ichigo.
"Okay let's have a truce and combine together to find more information about their plan." Renji proposed, and sneaked to the group of friends.
"That's so childish! I'm going home!" Ichigo yelled, and walked away from Renji. "Bye!" He said, but no one replied.
"Geez…" Ichigo mumbled, and walked to his house. He didn't care about their plots and plans. He was just tired and wanted to go to his bed.
He walked past a few children who were throwing stones against a traffic sign, and after a while he stood in front of his house. Ichigo walked inside and his father immediately kicked him in the ass. "You're late! AGAIN! You can't come home at 11! Ten is okay, but eleven!" He yelled at Ichigo.
They started a fight for a couple of minutes while Ichigo's sisters were watching them struggle.
After a while they stopped and Ichigo went upstairs to his bedroom…it was already half past 11 and he was tired. He undressed himself, put on his pajama's and lay down on his comfy bed, watching the ceiling above him.
Darkness fell upon his face and soon he fell asleep, dreaming about the daily things.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stop knocking on that door already! It's not even dawn yet!... Stop it!" Ichigo mumbled in his sleep, and he turned around in his bed. His hand slapped against the side of his bed, wakening him in the early hours of the next morning. A cool breeze blew through his hair, cooling his head and neck. The sheets were half fallen on the ground and showed his upper body. Last night he had taken off his pajama's, it was too hot and sweaty to sleep and now his well build body was revealed.
A faraway knocking made him open his eyes. He heaved up his arm and stretched his arms out. He sat up and pushed away the rest of the blanket.
The time on his clock wasn't how it was supposed to be; it was broken and showed only the numbers 88:88. Ichigo slowly stood up and dressed himself.
The door knocking was over but now someone was tapping on the window. Why was there no one to open the goddamn door! Ichigo walked out of his room and down the stairs.
"Where is everybody?" He asked himself and walked to the front door. Ichigo opened the door and saw Ishida standing in front of him.
"Ishida? What are you doing here?" He asked, frowning his brows together.
"Uhm…." Ishida muttered, and turned around, showing a happy Inoue on the street.
"ICHIGO! We were told to pick you up by Urahara. He's waiting for us." Inoue yelled, backing up Ishida.
"And why is that?" Ichigo asked, rubbing his head, questioning about the 'picking up thingy'.
"Don't know, perhaps he wants to teach us something new…come on! Let's go!" Inoue replied, waving her hand, showing Ichigo to come along.
"Yeah yeah… just a moment… I need to get my stuff…wait here." He said, and walked back inside his house.
Walking to his room he saw a small note on the dining table:
We're out, to the city.
Dad, Yuzu and Karin.
That's all there was written. Like they seemed to care about Ichigo… NOT!
He climbed up the stairs, two stair steps at a time, hurrying for Inoue and Ishida. He got his stuff together and rushed back to the front door. Ishida was quarreling with Inoue about something, and Inoue didn't seem to care at all. She had only eye for Ichigo.
"Are you ready?" She asked, while Ichigo was closing the door behind him.
"Yes, we can leave now." He answered, walking to Ishida and Inoue.
They walked for a couple of minutes and came to a small playground where a few children were playing in the sand and oscillating each other on the swing. There were 3 people who didn't seem to fit in the picture. 2 tall men and a small woman.
Renji and Rukia were talking to each other, Renji seemed to try to get some information out of Rukia, but he never got it out of her. Sado was watching the children play and said nothing.
"Renji? What the..? Has Urahara also asked you to come?" Ichigo questioned and walked to Renji. Renji turned around when he heard Ichigo's voice and started a contrariety against him.
"Well of course he did! Why are you asking? That's a really dumb question!" He counterattacked, and bowed to Ichigo, showing his angry eyes.
"It was just a question, don't act so retarded!" Ichigo resisted, glaring in Renji's eyes.
"Oh no, here we go again…" Inoue said, watching the fighting pair.
"Yeah let's hurry." Rukia replied, and walked to Ichigo and Renji. She grabbed Renji's arm and tried to drag him along. "Don't interfere!" Renji said, he struggled back and got loose of Rukia's grip.
Renji walked back to Ichigo and continued the fight.
"Sado? Could you?..." Rukia asked, watching Ichigo and Renji.
Sado nodded his head and walked to the glaring pair. He put his hand around Ichigo's waist and dragged him away from Renji.
"Sado? Wadda ye doing! Lemme go!" Ichigo struggled, trying to catch his breath. Everyone started to walk and Sado still held Ichigo in his grip.
"Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!" Renji yelled, and he followed Sado. He walked behind him to continue the fight with Ichigo, who was hanging behind Sado's back.
After a while they stopped fighting and Ichigo was hanging loosely in Sado's grip.
"Did you get the information you wanted?" Ichigo asked, and he gaped a long sigh. He was still tired from the night before and wasn't really prepared to stand up this early.
"Nah, I don't know what they were talking about… but I don't really care anymore since I have better things to do than getting stupid information about something I don't know nothing about." Renji replied, and he sighed too.
"That's one of the longest sentences you've said in ages." Ichigo noticed, and he smirked at Renji.
"Wahah, yeah probably." He said, and looked around, finding they were walking in the direction of Ishida's fathers hospital.
"Ey, what are we doing here? Aren't we making a detour?" Renji asked, and walked along Rukia's side.
"No, Ishida needs to pick up something from his father." Rukia explained, and she glared at Ishida, trying him to persuade him to help them with their little plan.
"Yeah…uhm…it's a big box… and very heavy…" Ishida rambled, trying to make it look like he was telling the truth.
They were standing in front of the entrance now and Ishida walked to the doors. Sado put Ichigo on the ground, and let him stand on his own feet.
"Lemme guess…: You're to weak to carry the box on your own and now you need me and Ichigo to help you carrying." Renji joked, and he walked to Ishida.
"Yeah! That's right!" Rukia yelled, happily Renji didn't notice everything was just a lie.
"Meh…do we have to?" Ichigo questioned and walked back to the street. "I mean, Urahara is waiting for us, perhaps we can do this when we head back." He continued.
Renji rushed to Ichigo, and tapped him on his shoulders.
"Come on! After this we can joke about Ishida's fathers huge hospital. Think about it…'irritating Ishida'…." Renji said, laying his chin on Ichigo's shoulder. "Can't you see it?" He continued, and stretched his arm out in front of Ichigo's face, trying to simulate some sort of absent room.
"No…not really…" Ichigo said ingeniously, and pushed away Renji's arm. "Okay okay, we'll help."
"Good! Let's go inside." Inoue proposed, and she walked to the doors.
Ichigo POV.:
"What are they so happy about? There's something going on here. I don't like it." Ichigo thought while walking into the hospital.
They walked to some door somewhere in the back of the hospital. The door was heavy and probably filled with lead. There was a lock on the door which was placed on the middle of the right side.
Ishida took a key out of his pocket and opened the door.
A cold wind came out from the inside. Everyone shivered, and Renji and Ichigo looked at each other, questioning of what the hell could be inside.
"What is this? The morgue? It does seem like one…perhaps it's a place where they keep body parts cold to keep them good enough for operation." Ichigo thought, and a cold shiver went down his body.
"Okay, it's somewhere in the back…I'll put on the light." Ishida stepped inside the room, fumbled in the dark and found the button to turn on the light. The room was very small, position cupboards and small tables were spread all over the room, making it even smaller. There were jars and boxes all over the place, and if you didn't watch your feet, you could trip over one of the boxes.
Renji and Ichigo walked inside while Ishida went out.
"Aren't you going to help?" Ichigo asked, and looked at Ishida's face.
"Uhm...no…I…uh… need to ask something…. to my dad." Ishida mumbled, and he walked out of the hall, leaving Sado, Rukia and Inoue standing alone in the corridor.
"And what about you? Sado?" Renji asked, doubting about everything.
"Sado, needs to help me and Inoue." Rukia said suddenly, she took Inoue and Sado and walked away.
"With what!" Ichigo yelled questioningly.
"Strange…very strange…" He thought and looked at Renji.
"Come on. Let's get that stupid package and get the hell out of here." Ichigo said, and he walked back inside the room.
The coldness made him shiver again, and he quickly walked to the back, with Renji on his tail. They searched for some kind of package, but Ishida had never said anything about how it looked from the outside.
"Perhaps over there." Ichigo said, and pointed his finger at a huge box in he corner of the room. It was covered with small boxes and all kinds of stuff.
"Can you reach it?" He asked Renji, and moved a few boxes away to get close to it.
"Why me? You are thinner." Renji replied, and he helped Ichigo moving some boxes.
"Okay, I get the picture." Ichigo responded, trying to get through the massive jars and stuff. He reached the box and tried to move it. It wasn't heavy at all; it was even as light as a feather.
"Read the label. What does it say?" Renji questioned, and he leaned forward, trying to read the label.
"It says: 'Empty'." Ichigo read, his frown deepening.
"Well then that's not the right one." Renji said, and he walked away from the box, searching for another one.
Ichigo walked to Renji and searched along.
"Perhaps we could ask Ishida what he really needs. We're losing time and Urahara is waiting for us." Ichigo questioned, and he walked back to the door.
Suddenly the door closed itself and locked Ichigo and Renji up in the ice cold room.
A soft bang resounded through the room, making Renji look up.
"What was that?" Renji asked, he had not seen the door closing, and that they were now stuck in this room.
"Uhm we have a small problem, the door closed itself. We're locked in." Ichigo said, with a small panic in his voice. He looked at Renji who had come from behind one of the position cupboards and knocked on the door.
"Hello! Can anyone hear me!" Ichigo yelled, slamming his fists on the cold door. (It was made of steel so it was very cold.)
"Ichigo? Is that you?" Inoue asked from behind the door.
"Yeah, what happened?" Ichigo questioned, and he put his ear against the door. The coldness made his ear red and painful.
Renji had come to the door too, and tried to open it with stamps of his feet.
"Renji, violence doesn't always work, especially not when a door is made of lead." Ichigo said, watching Renji's foot, stamping against the massive door.
"Could you stop that! I'm trying to have a conversation over here…" Ichigo complained, and he pushed Renji's foot away, making him hopping on his other foot. He lost his balance and crashed into one of the position cupboards, causing a lot of noise.
"Ichigo? What's happening in there? Is everything okay?" Inoue asked, talking louder because of the subduing door.
"Yes it's very cozy and lovely in here… What do you think? It's goddamn cold in here…where's Ishida? Ask him to unlock the bloody thing!" Ichigo yelled. He was now really pissed off. "Goddamn Ishida…where the hell is he?" He thought, banging his hand against the door.
