Authors Note: This is set in an AU with vampires^^. I'll most likely be using the ideas of vampires from TV shows like True Blood, The Vampire Diaries etc. Oh and it's been at least 2 years since I've written a fanfic so I'm sure it'll be a bit rusty at first.
Anyway enjoy and please review!
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of its characters, they belong to Tite Kubo. I'm just borrowing them to create this.
'Sorry I'm late!' Orihime said running in behind the counter of the bar she worked at. She took off her coat to reveal her work uniform; a fitted white blouse with a black skirt, which was needless to say, flattering to her body assets.
'I'm glad you showed up, we're run off our feet tonight' Tatsuki sighed, pouring a drinks for the waiting men at the bar. 'Oh and your in for a treat, today's the day you'll finally see some of them, they came in here earlier to reserve one of the rooms out back, some sort of convention or family gathering…'.
Orihime's face lit up, her grey eyes dancing with excitement. 'Really? I can't believe it! First the discount at Kuineda's bakery and now this!…..today couldn't get any better Tatsuki-chan'. Orihime threw her hands into the air, as though she had won a large sum of money, and didn't stop smiling as she served each customer with the best enthusiasm she had.
Vampires were co-existing with the human world for centuries. Because there was no distinct difference regarding appearance between them and humans, they would usually pass each other day to day, not knowing who was a vampire and who wasn't. The only way someone would know was if it was a vampire or not, would be if they ordered a drink of 'Pigeon Ruby', which was human blood in a bottle, or of course, if they were seen biting someone.
For Orihime, she never encountered a vampire, but most likely passed them several times on the street.
'Hey Orihime, I need to you to unload the Pigeon Ruby from the back and have it ready for them please, I'll take care of out here'. Tatsuki waved her off while trying to multitask getting drinks for the after work crowd which consisted of old perverted men sitting around the bar staring at her uniform. At least it was good business.
Orihime nearly skipped her way into the back, to unload the boxes of Pigeon Ruby which were stacked on top of each other. 'What should I say to them?…Would they like ice with that?, What was Dracula like?. Do they have a house in Transylvania too?….'. She thought to herself while unloading the box into the nearby fridge. She shook her head and laughed ' No that's silly, he can't go out into the sun. Oh…what about the capes?'. Orihime stopped unpacking and went back out to Tatsuki who was about to serve a group.
'Tatsuki-chan! What about their capes? We've nowhere to hang them?' She looked around her for a rack of some sort while Tatsuki grabbed her arm. 'Orihime, can you show them where the back room is please?'.
She felt the colour rise to her cheeks as she looked at the men in front of her who were staring back at her. She laughed nervously and pulled at a lock of her long auburn curled hair before bowing. 'Yes, ah follow me please'.
Orihime led them to a room near the back and opened the door for them. As each one passed her by she couldn't help but feel slightly star struck. 'They're vampires?….Wow they're so handsome'. Her eyes scanned each one of them, one had bright red hair tied into a ponytail and he had tribal tattoo's on his face, another had raven hair with glasses, the other one was really tall, muscular and tanned with long curly brown hair. But one caught her eye instantly, he had very light, almost orange hair, with brown eyes and a scowl on his face.
He looked up at her, and once again, heat filled her cheeks 'What do I say? He's staring right at me…its like those eyes see right into my soul….say something, anything'.
'Drinks? Yes of course you want drinks, otherwise you wouldn't be here!'. She laughed backing out the door and into the storage room. 'Stop being nervous, what must he think of me already?. She shook her head again and took a deep breath before returning with a tray full of bottles of Pigeon Ruby. They stopped talking once she returned to the room and watched as she put a drink in front of each person on the table.
The one with the bright red hair in the ponytail slightly smirked before saying 'Thank you, what's your name?'. Orihime stared at him, momentarily forgetting her own name, 'Ah… Inoue Orihime, nice to meet you'. He nodded in return 'Abarai Renji, this is Ishida Uryuu, Sado Yasutora, and the sulky one is Kurosaki Ichigo'.
Ichigo flashed him a glare before looking again at Orihime, who was staring back at him. 'Kurosaki-kun….'.
Orihime broke the stare and bowed again before leaving 'If you need anything else, please let me know!'.
She shut the door behind her, nearly sure she could feel the stare through the door, still able to see her. 'What was that just now?…'
