This is really short and sweet. I just really ship this couple a lot! R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. If I did, I would totally make this pairing happen!


"Ichigo!" the cute, auburn-haired young lady called out. They were playing hide-and-seek at the beach. Along with Chad, Uryu, Rukia, and Renji. Orihime found all of them except Ichigo, who has taken this game a little to seriously. They've been searching for him for almost 30 minutes.

"Okay, where the hell did that bastard run off to?" Rukia could only complain. Orihime found her first, she was hiding behind large rocks at the edge of the beach.

"The man is like 5'11 feet tall, where the fudge is he supposed to be hiding!?" Renji was really fed up. Orihime didn't actually find him, he was hiding underwater, only to be found right after Rukia. Not a very smart hiding place.

"Kurosaki! This has gone a bit too far!" Uryu shouted, "Any sign of him, Chad?" Orihime found them simultaneously , they were both hiding behind the Beach Hut.

"No. He's not here." Both of them sighed.

"Ichigo! Ichi-ah!" suddenly, Orihime tripped over. "Gaah..that really hurt." Looking back at what she tripped over, it seemed, at first glance, to be a log buried in the sand. "Why is this log…breathing?" Orihime thought to herself, reaching for it.

Suddenly, to the top of her voice, Orihime screamed. Catching the attention of the others, they all started running towards her.

"Haha! I got you didn't I Orihime?" Ichigo laughing histerically, while wiping off the sand from his body. He looked at the girl, who was still sitting on the sand, her hands clasped to her face.

She was crying.

"Inoue -san! Looks like you found-" Uryu paused to see the auburn crying, the gang all suddenly looked at Ichigo, knowingly that it was his fault.

"Orihime…" Ichigo said this faintly, he couldn't bear seeing her crying.

So he got on his knees. Taking off Orihime's hands from her face.

"I'm sorry, my Hime…" Ichigo kissed Orihime's forehead. The others' hearts melted. They were watching from a distance.

She stopped crying, but she refused to talk.

"Hey. Guess what I made you a little while ago…" he stuffed his hand into his pocket.

It was a necklace.

A necklace made out shells from the beach. Made from 2 very tiny, white conch shells, and in between those two shells was a blue clam shell. On it was a carefully carved flower, much like the one on Orihime's hairclips.

Ichigo put it around her neck, "Do you like it?" he asked with a blush.

Orihime started crying again, not because she was sad, because she was happy. She threw her arms around Ichigo. Ichigo landed on his back. Orihime lifted her head and planted a small kiss on Ichigo's lips. With that, Ichigo knew he was forgiven.

"That is one lucky Shinigami!" their friends could just exclaim.

Waah! That's done! Please R&R! Unless you don't know,"hime" means princess in Japanese. xD
