I Love You
Well, I have a list of favorite pairings in Bleach, one of them being the Ichihime pairing. I'm not sure if that's what you call it but its IchigoxOrihime pairing. So Tite Kubo owns Bleach! I Love You is owned by Avril Lavigne.
Her fingers twirled a lock of her orange hair until she couldn't do it anymore. Closing her brown eyes, Orihime listened to teacher talk on and on about what was being discussed in class. She, like everyone else, could feel the excitement in the air that caused her to remember that morning when she looked at the calender.
"Inoue-chan." Rukia said as she poked the teenager in the shoulder to get her attention. Seeing her turn to look, she smiled. "Did you make anything for Valentine's Day? At least that's what Ichigo called it? That's what you call it too?"
"Hai. I did actually. I made this." Orihime opened her bag, showing the small chocolate ball that was wrapped. "I first made it from regular milk chocolate then put it in white chocolate. Then I dipped it in more milk chocolate and in crushed peanuts."
Secretly, even if she wanted to say something, Orihime wanted to know if Ichigo liked peanuts. Turning her attention back to her teacher before her and Rukia got into trouble, a small smile played on the young woman's lips. She hoped that Ichigo liked it.
An eyebrow rose as Rukia looked at her friend that had an ability to heal. It was almost like she was trying to hide something from everyone. Shrugging, the female Kuchiki turned her attention back to the lesson. At least it was the last period of the day.
As Keigo answered a question, Orihime's gaze flickered to the clock that told her she had a couple minutes left until school was over with. She prayed that she got a chance to see Ichigo before he left with Rukia to go home. Closing her eyes and closing her pencil case, sticking it on the pile of books that were out for the class, the orange haired teen opened her eyes.
The bell rang with some students already heading out the door while a few stayed in their seats to get their things together. Orihime was one of them while Rukia stood beside her desk.
"So who's getting your chocolate then Orihime-chan?" Rukia pondered as she handed the other female her sketch book. Blinking, seeing Orihime act a little different from normal, she wondered what was going in her mind.
"Oh no one special." Orihime lied with a smile. Closing her bag, she rose from her seat and walked out of the room with Rukia beside her. No one knew of her feelings for Ichigo, and in a way she wanted it to stay that way. Even if it wouldn't be fair to see the substitute shinigami seeing someone else, but at least he would be happy.
"Hey Chad." The brown eyed girl greeted with that smile as she waved at her friend and teammate. Stopping at her locker to slip on her regular shoes, Orihime smiled and waved at Uryû as he got his own things together.
"Where's Ichigo?" Kuchiki asked as she noticed the teenager missing. Looking around, she found nothing of the teen that can see ghosts and gave her a run for her money when she first met him. Blinking, Rukia found nothing still when she looked behind another set of lockers.
"If you're looking for Ichigo, he's getting chewed out by a teacher for not doing his homework last week. Somehow she just found out he didn't do it." Mizuiro answered as he passed by them with Keigo in tow. "Come along Mr. Asano or I will leave you behind."
"Will you quit calling me that?"
Orihime giggled and looked at the three that were standing there. She was almost waiting for Uryû to say something about Ichigo getting lectured for something. It was bound to happen since those two still seem to fight like cats and dogs. Leaning against the cool metal that made up her locker, she said, "you guys can go on ahead if you want. I can wait for him."
She had to be confident or someone was going to figure she was up to something. Smiling a little more at her friends, the orange haired teen waved at them as Rukia shoved Uryû toward the entrance.
"Will you quit doing that?" Uryû hissed through clenched teeth as he dug his heels in.
"Let's go or I'll sick Chappy on you." Rukia threatened since her gikongan was able to get Ichigo's body immobilized when Grimmjow had his fracciónes attack. Waving to Orihime, she smiled back at the teenager that was always there for everyone.
Orihime smiled and stood next to Ichigo's locker. Looking back, seeing that there was still snow on the group, she sighed. It made her wish that Sora was still around so she could build snowmen with him and have snowball fights like when she was younger and he had a day off. Smiling at the memory, Orihime turned her attention to the main hallway.
When she spotted the orange hair that stuck out from everyone else, she smiled a little more. Waving to Ichigo, she saw him pick up the pace until he was standing in front of her.
"What are you doing here Orihime-chan? I thought you went home already." Ichigo stated as he dug around his locker for his shoes so he could get out of the slipper like ones that he had on. Slipping one of his sneakers on, his gaze went over to the teenager that was friends with Tatsuki.
"I thought that I should walk with you so you didn't have to go home lonely." The brown eyed teenager said with a smile as she closed his door for him when he was done. "So you got lectured for a paper?"
"Hai. I don't see why she had a cow over it because it wasn't that important." Ichigo griped as he ran a hand through his unusual hair. Rolling his eyes, he stepped out into the sunshine that wasn't strong enough to melt the snow.
"Um Ichigo-kun . . ." Orihime's voice trailed off as she grabbed the wrapper to the chocolate that she made last night. Looking into the direction he was in, her lips pursed. How could she ever give him if she was going to be shy about it?
"What is it?" Ichigo inquired as he stopped to look at the teenager that was beside him. Raising an orange eyebrow at her, he felt her forehead. "You're not sick so why are you red in the face?"
"It's not that." Orihime said with a shake of her head. Pulling the object she was playing with, she held it out to him. "I wanted to give you this for White day."
Grabbing the plastic and eyeing the candy up, Ichigo smiled a little. Unwrapping it, he popped it into his mouth, feeling her watch him all the while he did it. Rolling it around and melting the chocolate the held the peanuts there, he bit into it. "What chocolate did you put in this? I know you put peanuts in it but what else?"
"The cores milk chocolate then there's a layer or two of white chocolate, then another layer of milk chocolate that held the peanuts. Why? You don't like it do you?" Inoue jumped to conclusions and started to bow her head. Maybe Tatsuki was right about her food creations.
"No, I-I actually like it." Ichigo stated with his eyes widening a bit, taking in the taste of the white chocolate. Blinking, he walked over and leaned against a pole, making sure that there wasn't a memorial for someone there first. "That was really good."
Hearing those words instead of the ones that she was expecting to hear made her smile. It almost made the entire day brighten compared to what it was before. "That's great to hear. I spent maybe an hour getting it to melt since I only had the huge chips at the store. Also I was talking to Tatsuki on the phone so I wasn't really paying attention."
Ichigo nodded and looked around. He was almost expecting to see a spirit floating around for someone that could see them. Blinking, he found nothing of what he was expecting and turned to look back at the orange haired teenager that was rambling. Getting off the pole, Kurosaki strolled over to the teen that was his friend and classmate.
"And I had to give one to onii-san since he was a big part in my life. Hopefully he liked it if he ate it. I hope he ate it." Orihime worried over it as she looked around. She wasn't sure to run home and ask him if it was all right or stay there in Ichigo's company.
"I'm sure he did Orihime-chan." Kurosaki said with a pat on her shoulder.
Thanks to a review from Eszter that I accidently mixed up Valentine's Day and White Day. I was just going by information provided to me from an issue of Shojo Beat. Thank you for the correction though, so you didn't offend me in anyway. I'm glad that you pointed it out so I'm not clueless to it. So it's a lot more then I expected it to be because it just popped into my head from I think Itachi my muse. *points at foot tall weasel* He gets credit along with Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, chibi kitty Kaido, chibi Eiri, and Grimmjow! Please review.
