Okay, you guys are too nice and glad you enjoyed my story. The thing is someone commented did mention that I had some repetitive sentences, so I went back to chapter 1 and try to clean it up the best I can. I was so embarrassed, after looking at it I was thinking I was seriously on something. I'm glad, you took the time to read it even with it 's flaw. See I take criticism. LOL. It's shorter that the last chapter but not to worry I still continuing to write more of the chapter.


Orihime woke up from a blissful sleep, she giggled to herself as she remembered the dream of a certain orange haired man. She had been excited by the late night text knowing that Ichigo caved into his sister's pleas like Sora did.

Orihime left the house with Ulquiorra hopping on the train to Karakura University. The same university that Sora had attended had provided great opportunities for both her and Ulquiorra. Her brother had graduated from high school since he was 1 year older in age. He was top in his class in high school and had excelled college courses. He followed in his brother's footsteps by taking criminal law courses and Orihime had convinced him into joining Nel's dojo since his interest in karate. One of his foster parent's was a strict dojo instructor who insisted on having all his foster boys learn karate as long as they were under his roof. Ulquiorra was a fast learner who excelled the teachings of his foster parent/dojo instructor He was soon removed from that household after he challenged the instructor and completely ruined the man's image in beating him. Nel accepted the request from her friend for her brother to attend her family's dojo just like Tatsuki. Through the years Orihime knew them to be her 3 protector's or what Orihime like to call them, Las Tres Combatientes (The three fighters).

Orihime also excelled in her studies, she worked really hard, she wanted a degree in business and culinary arts. Her idea was to open a bookstore filled with science fiction, fantasy, Japanese lore, and manga with her original baking creations. Sora encouraged her dream and found that it suited her personality. Ulquiorra would walk to college with her before they left to their respective courses. Before they went their separate ways she stopped him to ask if he wanted to go this weekend to the party. Tatsuki and Nel had already texted that they were going and Friday they'd go shopping for dresses.


In his spare time, Ichigo continued to train at the dojo it kept his mind at ease. In college, he would spare with Grimmjow and Renji but lately their schedules always conflicted and their sparing days were non existent. He tried to meditate after his workout but gray eyes and beautiful auburn hair clouded his thoughts. He didn't sleep a wink last night, every time he went to sleep he would have sensual dreams of the girl and he would wake up ashamed of was mortifying, especially when having dreams of Sora catching them as she pleased him on her knees. He groaned and shook his head in irritation.

"What the hell is wrong with me" he yelled out. He heard a chuckle in back of him as he turned to see who it was. He saw his scarlet haired friend Renji, He was dressed in his sparing clothes, judging from the sweat and lack of breath it seemed he recently been training.

"I didn't know you still come here?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah, this wedding has got Rukia and I stressing out, Training always put my mind at ease. Question is what's got your panties in a twist and why do you look like shit?" Renji eyed the horrid dark circles around his eyes and disheveled hair.

Ichigo glared at him before he answered, " You always look like shit, what's your excuse?"

'Prick," Renji swiftly kicked the orange haired man's legs from under him. He fell on his back as he quickly lifted himself to dodge a punch that was aiming for his face. He elbowed the tattooed man. Renji groaned as he nursed his chin, laughing and staring at his irritated friend.

"You know now is not the time to piss me off, I'm not in the mood," he angrily shouted at the man who sat up still nursing his chin. Renji rolled his eyes as he spoke, " Your always in a foul mood, and secondly your always pissed about something."

"Why the hell is everyone keep saying that?" Shuffling the back of his head roughly as he sat across from him.

"Hmpf, because it's true," the scarlet man grinned as he saw his friends scowl become more apparent. Renji scrunched his eyebrows trying to figure out what was making him sulk. " Okay that is gonna bother me, your making that pathetic looking face. What the hell is wrong with you man?" He urged his friend to talk but he seemed reluctant to confess. That only heightened the redhead's curiosity.

'You know, it doesn't matter if you tell me, but you see a certain violet eyed beauty might come snooping when I tell her that I saw you in this state that your in."

Wide eyed the orange head began to speak, " You wouldn't?"

"I would" he caught his friend smiling at him mischievously.

Ichigo closed his eyes in thought before he angrily said,"Fine! You have to promise me you won't tell anyone, not even that crazed bunny obsessed midget."

"Wow, this must really be good"

'Renji!" Ichigo yelled impatiently.

'Fine, I promise I won't say anything to anyone not even Rukia."

Ichigo eyed his friend wearly as he took a deep breath and started to confess, " You remember the conversation at the Restaurant about Sora's sister?"

The red haired man pondered for a minute before he answered," Yeah, poor bastard! Having all those guys at his job talking about his sister, Grimmjow told me what Rangiku said." As the red head began to laugh and shake his head.

Ichigo groaned not liking how this conversation was going but asked , " What did she tell him?"

Renji stopped chuckling as he shrugged his shoulders, " The things her co-workers said was she had perfect breasts, that is was a crime for a young girl with a sweet innocent face to have a seductive body, and that she's so hot that she makes any pop idol or porn star look like a plain Jane."

Ichigo turned red as he had to friggin agree with the rumors one by one, which made him feel all the more terrible. He had to lump himself in with those pervs at Sora's office. Renji saw Ichigo's expression and looked confused, "What does Sora's sister have to do with you looking like shit?"

"Umm, well you may know my sister's still keep in touch with her and they texted her last night, she sent her most recent picture to Yuzu, " his eyes were downcast avoidingRenji's eyes, " I saw her damn picture."

Renji still seemed confused,"So...what's your damn problem?" The redhead seemed upset his friend was being irritatingly unforthcoming.

"Shit Renji! I would think you would understand of all people, especially with Rukia."

Dumbfounded, the red haired friend scrunched his face in puzzlement, "How the hell should I know what..." He stopped in mid sentence as he realized what his friend was trying to convey. Eyes wide he glanced over to Ichigo who looked at him in embarrassment.

"How can you like her when you don't even know her, and from one picture?" Renji voice started to rise in volume.

"I'm not sure what I feel, I mean I was ready to punch Grimmjow for being so disrespectful. I'm so protective of Yuzu and Karin I'd rip anyone who looks at my sister the wrong way. But.."

"But what?" Renji asking intently.

"I couldn't sleep last night because I was having dreams."

"Oh shit! About Sora's sister, " Renji shouted before he laughed hysterically.

Ichigo regretted telling his friend he mentally thought of ways to dispose of his friend's body when he killed him. Renji stopped laughing at it faded to a grin as he watched the murderous glare across from him.

"Look!" He said seriously, " I somewhat know what your going through difference is Byakyua and Rukia and I were friends for awhile. So you're a man, it's okay to lust over a hot girl you'll realize once you get to know her this thing will soon fade away as if it was nothing."

Ichigo thought of Renji's words, he probably was acting like pubescence ass I mean he's never seen anyone as beautiful as her. But he knew beautiful woman and most of the time they were just that, beautiful, hollow and dull inside. Renji's wisdom made him feel a lot better as he nodded in understanding.

"Guess your right,' he said rising up feeling the weight in his chest disappear somewhat. His friend rose to his feet also as he gave him a hard whack, 'See you at the party .. perv."

He scowled watching the redheaded man run off and wave to him. Ichigo made no attempt to correct his insult because in some ways he felt like a pervert.


"Orihime! Are you done yet?" Nel asked from across the changing room. Nel could only hear a frightened gasp and whispering.

"We can't hear you when your whispering,, it's been 5 minutes it does not take that long to put on an outfit." Tatsuki shouted aggravated.

"I...I think this is too revealing!" They heard their auburn haired friend stuttered as she slowly exited the room.

She wore a tightly fitted emerald dress that reached mid thigh with spaghetti straps. The top seemed to tight for the well endowed girl that her breast seemed squished in the material.

Nel and Tatsuki looked at each other both shaking their heads no in agreement, "Your breasts look like their trying to gasp for air, " the green hairy beauty giggled.

"It makes her look cheap, " Tatsuki blurted out making her friend run back into the changing room in embarrassment," we have to find something that makes her seem likes she's not trying too hard.

After Orihime changed, all three girls stepped out of the female boutique carrying bags of items they bought. Orihime didn't have the luck of finding a dress that complimented her as she walked and pouted.

"Don't worry Orihime, we've been to a couple of stores and we just started shopping," Nel mused winking at her distraught friend.

"So is your brother going too?" Tatsuki asked Orihime.

"Yep, I explained to him I really wanted him to come with us to the party and just like that he said, I'll go." The last words she said with a serious tone and expressionless demeanor mimicking her brother. The impression of her green eyed brother was so dead on it made the other two girls laugh in the process, making the auburn girl giggle as well.

"Is that the lovely, Miss Inoue?"

Orihime turned to see her brother's busty assistant holding shopping bags.

"Ms. Matsumoto, it's so nice to meet you again," the auburn girl said brightly.

"Please call me Rangiku, and these lovely girls are your friends?" She gestured to the bubbly green haired and the fierce spike haired tomboy as they introduced themselves.

"I'm Nel!"

"My name is Tatsuki"

"So can I assume you guys are coming to my get together and that's why your shopping?" She eyed the girls as she noticed the timid one had no bags and seemed down. "Orihime what seems to be the problem? Having trouble finding the perfect dress?"

"No! No trouble at all you don't have to worry, Ms. Mat.. I mean Rangiku.. I," Orihime insisted before she was caught in a bear hug from the busty blonde. She then proceeded to grab her arm as she pulled her into a store of her choosing, with the other girls tagging along.

They entered a clothing store called Pink Lace, the girls entered to find beautiful clothing from dresses to casual wear.

"I love this store, you'll definitely find something in here," the blonde said grabbing clothing she liked as well as handing a few to the quiet girl. Orihime went into the fitting room as Tatsuki and Nel waited, Rangiku continued her shopping tirade. The dresses she tried on were gorgeous but really didn''t compliment her figure. Suddenly, the older woman ran into the fitting area Orihime was in with a dress, startling the half-naked and Nel heard their friends squeaks and Rangiku telling the girl there was nothing to be ashamed of among women.

"Girls!" Rangiku shouted and she poked her head out from the door, " I think I found the perfect dress." As she winked.


Ichigo walked into his family's home, exhausted from the dojo,

"Ichigooo" his dad sprang into the air raising his foot towards his son aiming for his chest. He only made it half way before he was grabbed by his kin and thrown several feet across the living room.

"I've been training all morning, is this really necessary,' he growled.

"Training is a lifelong commitment," the older man grinned at his son. Ichigo felt his eye twitch, "I don't think Life and long is in the cards for you old man, you keep with this crap,"

He noticed a bag with the logo from his favorite brand of clothing on the table. The older man notice his son's peaked interest towards the bag.

"Your sister's And I went shopping for Saturday's get together ."

"Oh no, I said they could come not you."

'Come now! You would never know I'm there."

"If I hear or feel you trying to push some girl on me, claiming daughter in law, I'll be taking everyone home. Now you don't want to be the one to make yuzu upset?" He eyed his father with a stern look.

The elder Kurosaki timidly kicked the floor and nodded, " I promise, not a peep about daughter in law," Isshin raised his thumb up and winked.

The orange haired man was about to walk upstairs, when he sensed something thrown in his direction, it was the bag as he raised an eyebrow at the man below the stairs.

"Yuzu and Karin got you something also, make sure you say Thanks."

Ichigo was a little irritated, he liked dressing himself, but the kind hearted gesture eased the irritation away.

After a relaxing bath he walked with a towel around his neck, he headed towards his sister's room. Stopping abruptly when he heard other voices on speaker along with his sister's. He was about to head in when a name caught his attention.

"Orihime-chan you have got to be lying," he heard his sister Karin say. Then he heard a beautiful angelic voice that sent heat to the pit of his stomach.

"I .. I'm not lying Karin-chan, I'm concentrating on other things. "

Then another voice sounded girly but firm, " Also it's because Tatsuki and Ulqiorra seemed to get rid of any guy who approaches her."

The third voice sounded familiar and rough, " Whatever Nel, I just get rid of the ones who are trying to hurt her or want her for one thing."

There was an erupt of giggles on both ends as Ichigo redden.

"It's also because she's saving herself for someone."

Ichigo's heart stopped for a moment then he felt anger rise as he clenched his fist.

"Oh Nel-chan who?" Yuzu squealed.

"Oh Nel please don't, " he heard the woman plaguing his dreams nervously say.

"Fine! Your no fun, Orihime." He heard the girl sound defeated.

"Awww, I wanna know, is he handsome?" The blonde sister impatiently asked.

There was a long pause then a small scuffle, "Umm, I'm sorry Yuzu for keeping a secret from you but I promise to tell you someday. He been handsome to me since the last time I've seen him, I don't think he knows I exist." She sounded so hurt it caused him to be unnerved by it.

"It's okay Orihime-chan, whenever your ready," Yuzu declared.

They could hear the girl's relieved giggle before someone else shouted," Well he's a dumbass to not notice you, your hot," he heard Karin bluntly said as he agreed.

"Well it's been awhile since we last met and plus he's older than me so technically we didn't go to school together."

"Older?" Karin sounding interested, after a long pause she continued," So how did you see him then?"

"Well, in passing and school yearbooks," she whispered sounding dodgy.

"In my opinion if Orihime and I thought he was hot when he was a teenager he's probably gotten manlier , I'm so jealous?" Nel pouted.

"Why are you jealous, Nel-chan?" Orihime sounded concerned.

"You'll have the hottest guy in Karakura and I'm stuck still dating immature losers," the girl on the phone began to wail as she was comforted by her friends words.

"he's not my boy..friend," she stuttered cutely.

"I still think your lying of never having a boyfriend," Karin shared.

Ichigo felt the wind kicked out of him as his eyes bulged out, realizing just how innocent she was and it made him feel more guilty then he already felt.

"Karin, she told the truth," her twin began to pout.

'why don't you see if anyone interest you at the party?" Karin began.

There was a pause, as Ichigo felt a rush of realization at the prospect of her noticing him.

"Sora gave her a whole speech about watching out for certain guys at the party." Tatsuki giggled.

The orange haired boy listened and had wondered if he had been on Sora's 'certain guys' list.

"It was just two actually," the orange haired waited for his name as the auburn beauty continued, " He said Rangiku's boyfriend Gin and also Grimmjow."

Ichigo felt relief as he began to snicker inside.

"Why?" Yuzu spoke curiously.

Ummm it's because … ummm" Orihime had a hard time expressing what she really wanted to say. Her friend quickly helped her with the rest.

"I'll say it! Sora said they are womanizing man whores."

Ichigo holding his mouth trying to hold in his laughter, he heard his younger sister gasp.

"What's wrong Yuzu?" Orihime asked worried.

Karin sniggered first as she responded," Yuzu's upset because I used the word man whore to describe a certain..."

"Ichi-nii is not that gross word, Karin, take it back." Yuzu shouted.

Ichigo stopped laughing as realization dawned on him that they were talking about him.

'Shit' he thought.

"Who?" Tatsuki said as she couldn't quite make out Yuzu's outburst. When suddenly they heard the door slam on the other end and a growl of a man's voice.

"What the hell are you guy's talking about?"

"Ichi-nii' they heard both girls shout as Karin began to mouth off in anger, "Why don't you knock, next time."

"Not when I hear man whore and my name? Who the hell teaches you that?"

Nel and Tatsuki looked over at Orihime who'd been silent and red ever since she heard the girl's shout for their brother. Both Tatsuki and Nel were too excited to hang up hoping the girls on the other line stayed on.

"Like I said before I heard it from your many adoring fans," Karin said with a hint of sarcasm and amused tone.

There was silence as they heard him speak again, " I said I am not a …"

"Arrogant Ass," Tatsuki blurted out as Orihime became mortified as Nel giggled out loud.

"What the hell .. Are you on the phone? Who the hell said that?' They heard the older man say as both girls stared at Tatsuki.

"Tatsuki, the girl who's going to kick your ass, for rudly interrupting our girl talk."

Then they heard a snicker as the man's voice spoke in a humerous tone,

"Ah Tatsuki! Still mad about losing to me, always losing to me," he snickered.

"I've grown and gotten a lot stronger, I'm not that same little girl you knew."

"You still have the same arrogant big mouth."

"Why you bastard, wait till I see you, I'm gonna..."

"No Please! No Fighting. Let's just enjoy tomorrow night, Please. It's my first time going to something like this. Please Tatsuki." Orihime looked at Tatsuki with a puppy dog look.

Tatsuki rolled her eyes," Fine! I'l leave him alone for now."

Orihime smiled at her friend then began to speak, "Kurosaki-kun?"

There was silence on the other end.

"Kurosaki-kun?" He finally registered the sweet voice was speaking to him.

"Umm Sure. I'm not planning on fighting," he felt the heat rise in his face as he gulped.

"Thank you, Kurosaki-kun!" He heard the polite girl say.

"Your welcome," he muttered.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Orihime-chan, Tatsuki-chan, and Nel-chan." Interrupted Yuzu. They heard the girls on the other end say there good-byes.

Ichigo made to leave as he heard Karin begin to giggle.

'What's wrong Ichi-nii, you look flustered?' Karin mused.

"Are you okay, Ichi-nii are you getting a fever?" Yuzu began to panicky ask him. Ichigo said he was fine as he closed the door. He could still hear Karin's mouth on the other end.

" It's not a fever Yuzu. He'll be fine it's normal guy stuff nothing a cold shower won't fix."

'Where the hell is she learning this shit?' Ichigo thought to himself.


"Oh my God! I am so glad that I choose to sleepover Orihime, I am having so much fun," Nel said bouncing happily. Orihime still eyed the phone in a dream like state. She finally became aware of her actions when her tomboyish friend called her name snapping her finger in front of her.

" Oh, I'm sorry Tatsuki," twiddling her fingers.

"It can't be helped Orihime I found his voice extremely sexy," the green haired girl spouted as her cheeks began to blush just as red as her auburn haired friend.

"Don't make me sick, besides he's a man whore," Tasuki said with conviction.

"Please, Karin said his adoring fans said that, which could only mean jealous girls, do you believe every rumor. If you did you would of never been hanging with me." She eyed Tatsuki who sighed in defeat. She knew rumors of Nel being the school bitchy slut ran rampid, she knew to never judge.

"He still sounds like a jerk and jerks break girl's hearts. I don't want that for Orihime, if he does I'll break his face."

"He's not a jerk, you kind of started it when you called him an arrogant ass," Nel baited.

"Whatever, I'm going to get something to drink. You guys want anything from the kitchen?"

"Oh, Tatsuki, I'll do it you're my guest," Orihime began to rise before being stopped by her friends hand, "Juice then?" Orihime shyly sat back down and nodded yes.

"Same," the green hair beauty said. Tatsuki walked out the room hearing Nel talking non stop to Orihime about how Ichigo.

"Is he tall? …. Do you think he's a good kisser...?"

She grinned knowing Orihime was probably red as a strawberry.

She headed to the kitchen opening the fridge to get the juices. She eyed the contents in her hands as she giggled and rolled her eyes, "So what if he sounds sexy he's still a jerk." She closed the fridge as she became startled sensing green eyes staring at her. Ulquiorra was leaning against the countertop with his hands in his pockets.

"You scared the crap out of me," her nerves began to settle as he walked past her opening the fridge to get a bottle of water. She continued to stand there eyeing him strangely as he leaned against the counter again eyeing her as he drank. She noticed her was talking as his voice broke the silence all she heard was, "… sexy."

She began to blush as she stuttered out, " Wh.. What did you say?"

"I said who sounds sexy?" He said the word with such ease like it's didn't make him uncomfortable.

"He's just a dumb jerk, it's nothing," she uttered turning to quickly leave.

"So you fancy unintelligent jerks?"

She whirled around to face him, clearly irritated as she fumed, "Don't assume I like him, next time you shouldn't sneak up on people."

He continued to stare at the angry girl as he slowly walked up to her, his tall figure over her started to make her blush.

"So who fancies the unintelligent jerk whose voice you find sexy?" She began to grit her teeth, and angry at how he was making her feel uncomfortable.

"Nel and …" she stopped herself as she realized her mistake, she was so angry she wasn't even thinking.

"That only leaves Orihime, am I correct?" The green eyed boy said unwavering.

"What are you the Spanish Inquisition, your so damn nosy. "

"I just don't want my little sister liking unintelligent jerks, you of all people should know she's too good for that?" He leaned down closer as he examined the spiky hair girls blush and shortness of breath.

"Do I arouse you?" He asked flatly watching her reaction.

She was taken aback by his question as her eyes widen, " I. I am..not aroused."

"Your flushed, rapid breathing it's the same signs of blushing or what a girl looks after intercourse."

He watched her as she caught her breath and became even redder. She was upset with herself because she couldn't speak. She was a fighter but in that moment she felt like hiding as he continued to speak.

"Of course, the other observation I found with the same symptoms is that they became extremely wet, " he mouthed the words as he blocked the punch that was aiming at his face like he anticipated it.

"Your sick," she spat struggling to remove her fist from his grasp.

"Interesting," continuing to hold her eyes still fixed on her as he leaned in even closer.

Her eyes widen, his face mere inches form hers as he stopped to stare. After seconds of watching he let go and backed away still eyeing her.

"Judging by your reaction you seemed disappointed," he said as he slowly entered him room.

She walked up slowly to his door trying to find the words as he turned facing her.

" You.. Wish." She weakly said.

He began to unbutton his shirt exposing his chiseled chest, exposing his abs. He stood there staring at the girl in front of him as her eyes focused on his exposed flesh. She suddenly noticed what she was doing as she looked up angry to find a small hint of a grin.

"Goodnight Tatsuki," as he closed the door.

She eyed the door, she was so pissed off she had been dead set on kicking the door down and beat him to a bloody pulp. But her body wouldn't move, her body including between her thighs she could feel intense heat. She became mortified as she muttered silently , "asshole." She shook her head trying to ready herself before she entered Orihime's room.

"Gosh, Tatsuki! It was only juices what took you so long." Nel said skipping towards her grabbing the juices from her hand.

She thought of something quickly as she answered, " Ulquiorra wanted to talk, " Tatsuki said trying to keep from blushing.

"Being that's he's so talkative, about what?" Nel eyeing her friend.

"About one of our dojo members, Isao-chan, he lacks enthusiasm," she started hoping her story sounded believable.

"Right, I thought so too, Sensei finds his movement's dull, he's not cut out for karate, but we can't deny who's willing to learn," the bubbly girl twirled around before she sat on the ground near Orihime.

Tatsuki sighed in relief as she answered, " We felt the same way too."


As I was writing Ulquiorra, I loved the idea of having him as Orihime's brother. As I continued to write him Tatsuki and him just sort of happened and I love it. I hope you do too. I promise next chapter is the party and Ichigo and Orihime finally meet. Don't worry about Nel too she's going to meet someone. (grins menacingly)
