"Inoue do you want to see a magic trick?" Ichigo askes while they were heading toward her apartment.
"A magic trick? But Kurosaki-kun, yours do not like magic." She responds starry-eyes thinking about what could make him to tell her that.
"Tsh ... It does not matter." He concludes regretting his choice.
He knew that Orihime loves magic tricks, but he hated the fact that she know him so well.
"What is it?" She continues the conversation when she realizes the disappointment hidden behind his eyes.
"I will make you read my mind." He explains.
"Should not you make me read your mind?" She replied doubting that the boy understood the trick correctly.
"No. That would be too easy." He responds amused.
"Um ... what am I thinking now?"She asks testing him.
"That's too simple. You're thinking about bread with wasabi and chocolate topping." He says casually, surprising her.
"Wow ... you're amazing ... Kurosaki-kun" She notes. "Hm ... and how's the magic trick ? Do I need to do something ?"
"It's easy. You just need to close your eyes and let me do the rest." He says smirking.
"Ok." And she close hers eyes. "It's not painful, right?" She askes after a few moments during what the substitute shinigami looked at her, trying to encourage himself to make the next move.
Hearing her voice was the only motivation he needed to lead his plan to its finish. In the next second his lips had crashed violently on her and he kissed her passionately until he felt like running out of air.
The girl was surprised by his gesture, but she could feel his emotions. It looks like their unrequited love for so many years working ended in each other's arms.
When he withdrew and he saw the expression on her face he was really felt fulfilled.
"Inoue?" He called her while his hand was investigating the softness of her hair.
"Um?" The girl reacts still trying to get used to his touch.
"I think I just started to like magic."
