"what happened to you?" he groaned
He closed his eyes as he thought back to what happened " I went to find ichigo, I needed to see if you changed your mind….he said you left months ago. He had zaraki with him and we got in a fight." she jumped up " is ichi ok? Did he get hurt?" aizen hid the hurt from his face at her concern for the boy. He shrugged "I have no idea" she darted out of the room to find a phone. She dialed ichigo's number and held her breath as she waited for him to answer. "hello?" she sighed happily as she heard his half asleep, gravely voice "im so glad youre okay! Youre okay right? Did he hurt you?" she heard him chuckle "im alright shiro. Wait…howd you know I got in a fight?" shiro said nothing which caused ichigo to get worried "whats going on?" she groaned and spoke quickly "sosukeishereandhewashurt. Hesaidtherewasafight!". "slow down and say it again please" she groaned " sosuke is here and he was hurt. He said there was a fight." ichigo nearly shouted into the phone "hes with you! Where are you!" she held the phone a few inches away from her ear because of his loud voice. " im in okayama at a small hotel" he nodded " ill be there soon. Stay away from him!" with that he hung up. She groaned and put the phone down.
Shiro went to her boss's office " I still have the week off right?" the old woman smiled and nodded. "yay!" shiro jumped up happily "I have a friend that's gunna visit!" she happily skipped out as the old woman smiled fondly at the young woman.
Shiro went back to aizens room but saw that he fell asleep again, she then went to her room to wait for ichigo. She yawned and crawled under a blanket, quickly falling asleep.
Hours later ichigo made it into okayama, he found a small hotel near the road and pulled into the parking lot. He got out, locked the car behind him and walked down a rock path to the front door of the hotel 'nice place' he thought. As he walked inside he took off his sunglasses and looked for the front desk. The young woman that worked at the front desk smiled at him "hello sir, how may I help you?" his trademark scowl never left his face as he approached the girl "im looking for shiro" the girl furrowed her brows "she doesn't have any family so who might you be?" he sighed " just tell me where she is. Its important" the girl pouted but pointed down the hall " last door to the right". He nodded and went down the hall. Once he reached the door he knocked quietly "shiro?" after a minute of no response he knocked harder. Still not getting an answer he opened the door "shiro are you here? you shouldn't leave the door unlocked, its dangerous". He smiled softly to himself as he saw the white haired woman asleep on the bed. He closed the door and sat next to her, he rubbed her back " its time to wake up, we need to talk.". She groaned and sat up, eyes still closed "im up, im up.". Ichigo ruffled her hair and chuckled " its nice to see you again" she peaked open an eye and pounced on ichigo " ichi!" he smiled " yeah its me, so whats going on?" she groaned and flopped back " ill take you to sosuke but be nice" he nods and gets up then watches as shiro gets up. He noticed that she got a slight tan. She grabbed his hand and led him out of her room and down the hall into sosukes room.
Aizen was sitting up in his room, extremely bored. He perked up bit as he heard the door open but sighed under his breath as he saw the orange headed man with the woman he wants. Ichigo scowled at aizen " how did you find her" the man shrugged. Ichigo looked at shiro " wait outside please" she nodded and skipped out. Ichigo stormed over to aizen and lifted him by the collar of his shirt " I thought I told you to stay way from her. If you don't leave ill call the head captain" aizen smirked "I will do whatever I want. If she says I can stay then I will stay. She was mine first and I will have her again." ichigo threw aizen against the wall. Shiro heard a loud thud and peaked her head in the room, she saw ichigo standing over aizen "stop it guys!" ichigo glared at aizen then walked over to shiro "hes dangerous he ca-". Aizen cut him off mid sentence " I will stay! You cant keep me from her!" shiro groaned.
Shiros boss heard two male voices arguing and decided to be nosy, she followed the voices and recognized they were coming from aizens room. Out of concern for shiro she opened the door dramatically and stood there like a woman on a mission. She stood next to shiro, elbowed her lightly and whispered "two handsome guys. Nice job!" shiro giggled and blushed. The old woman leered at the young men and grinned "whatever is going on with you guys needs to be figured out" she nodded and started to walk out of the room " follow me!" shiro skipped after her boss while the two men groaned and followed.
The boss led them into a traditional tea house, they all sat sown except for shiro "ill get the tea ready" before she left the room she bowed out of habit. The old woman looked between the two men with a serious face "if either of you hurt my sweet shiro I will hurt you in ways that you cant even imagine" she then smiled sweetly as shiro walked back into the room with the steaming teapot. She let it steep and sat down between ichigo and aizen " so whats up boss?" the old woman smiled warmly at shiro " we are here to settle whatever issue is causing these two fine men to fight" shiro nodded and poured everyone a cup of tea, she grinned at aizen like a child that figured something out "I can drink tea!" he let out a fond smile as he remembered how shiro scalded her tongue on her hot tea before.
Shiro happily sipped her tea as the boss began to speak "so my dears, why are you fighting?" ichigo scowled but no one said anything. the woman started to stand up " if you wont answer then I expect both of you to leave my hotel." ichigo sighed " fine. He is a horrible man. He lies, manipulates and he doesn't treat shiro right. He never has." the woman sat back down and nodded then looked to aizen. He stared at his tea "I will admit, I have messed up but all im asking for is a chance" the woman looked to shiro and noticed how uncharacteristically silent she was " shiro honey, what do you want?" she shrugged. The woman reached over and placed her hand on shiros " no one decides what you do, you must choose for yourself. This is your life and no one elses" shiro nodded but still remained silent. Aizen looked at shiro " give me a chance, all im asking for is friendship." she looked at ichigo in hopes of him giving and answer but all he did was smile at her. She then looked at aizen " I suppose a friendship is okay "she leaned in close to his ear" but if you ever hit me again I will make sure you regret it." she smiled at aizen then sipped her tea. The old woman smirked at how shiro threatened him "is everything settled then?" shiro nodded and everyone stood up. Ichigo grabbed her hand " can I speak to you?" she nodded and led him down a path to a small koi pond "whats up ichi?" he pulled her into a tight hug "I missed you…" she nuzzled into his chest and giggled "I missed you too strawberry" he pretended to be mad at the nickname but couldn't and laughed as she stuck her tongue out at him. He sat down by the edge of the pond and shiro did the same. Ichigo tore up a sakura petal "I don't like him here with you, I don't trust him…can I stay here as well…to keep an eye on him?" she smiled and nodded "of course ichi…but what about your life in karakura?" he shrugged "its boring, my old man keeps pestering me about you" she giggled "I like your dad, hes funny" ichigo nodded and stood up " its getting dark, lets go inside" she grabbed his hand as he pulled her up. They quietly walked back to the hotel.
