CHAPTER TWO: A DRINK TOGETHER.
And so, Orihime got pissed with Ichigo talking about Rukia. " So, why not talk about yourself?", Orihime said. "Uhmm, what do you want to know, Orihime?", Ichigo replied. Orihime stopped, looked Ichigo in the eye and said , "Everything? Yes. Everything!". Ichigo said, "Why don't we buy ice cream first?" and smiled. Both of them had a good time. And so, Orihime will feel the same feelings she felt the first time she met Ichigo. And after hours of spending time together, they decided to go home.
The next day at school, "Ohayou, Rukia-san!", Orihime greeted. "Ohayou Orihime. So how was the date?", Rukia answered. Orihime jumped and looked Rukia straight in the eye and said, "Rukia, first it wasn't a date and second I enjoyed it! So much, that I feel I can fly right now!". Rukia just smiled as a sign of reply. "They really had fun huh? I mean what can I do? I'm his best friend and besides she's pretty, rich and smart. What do I have?", Rukia said to herself.
At lunch..
"Can I excuse Kuchiki? Kuchiki Rukia please?", a strange boy said in front of Class 1. "Rukia! Someone is looking for you!", Tatsuki said. As she walk near the door, she saw red hair that seems very familiar so she quickly ran to the boy. "Oh my! Renji? Renji!", she said as she hug the boy.
Renji is a good friend of Rukia. They've been friends since they're young and what Rukia doesn't know, Renji has feelings for her.
"Hey, how are you? It feels like a decade since you last came to Seireitei, so I decided to visit you here.", Renji said with a big smile on his face. "Yeah, I know. Sorry about that, but visiting at this time of the day? Plus, you're in my school! You must have miss me that much.", she replied with a friendly slap on Renji's shoulder. "Yeah, I did miss you that much. Say, I should go now. It seems that classes will start any minute. And anyway, I'm going to stop by at your house to see Byakuya, so I guess I'll just wait for you there. Ja!", Renji said.
It was a long day, but at last, classes were over. On Rukia's way out of the school, she was busy with her phone that is full of messages and with her was tons of books on her hand. "Ouch!...", Rukia said as the books fell down from her hand. .. "What's your problem? Oh,..". Ichigo picked up the books and said, "I'm sorry, so sorry. Hey, why don't I accompany you on your way and carry your things? A girl like you shouldn't be carrying lot's of books you know.". "I'm sorry about that, it looks like I hurt your big head.", Rukia replied. "What you're offended about what I said? Come on, please. I insist.", Ichigo said with a pleasing tone. And so, Rukia finally agreed.
They were walking with their shoulders next to each other, Rukia's head that tilts to Ichigo's shoulder, and with their hearts beating fast. " So… It's a long walk. Uhmm. So how are you and Orihime?", Rukia said. Ichigo got shocked and replied, "WHAT? Me and Orihime? No way. I promised that every girl I would like will go through your judgment right?". Rukia felt a stirring of feelings and replied, "But you never even told me a story about those girls you seem to like since we became best friends?". "Ichigo whispered, *because you already know who you are, midget* and smiled to Rukia. Rukia smiled back.
After a long walk, they're finally at the Kuchiki's residence. "Ichigo, wanna stay over for a while?", Rukia said. Ichigo nodded. "Brother, brother, where are you? I'm here now.", Rukia shouted at the front door. Later on, they heard footsteps and the front door was finally open. Byakuya opened the door.
Byakuya is Rukia's older brother.
"Hi there little sister, Renji is right inside waiting for you.", Byakuya said. "Good afternoon, Byakuya-san!", Ichigo greeted. Byakuya replied, "Yes, good afternoon to you too. Come in!".
On their way in… "Rukia you haven't told me about this Renji guy.", Ichigo said to Rukia. She replied, "Why do I need to tell you about him?". "Maybe because I care. I don't want you to go running along with guys okay? Specially, other guys.", Ichigo answered. "Well, I don't care. What I care about is that his my visitor, not yours.", Rukia said while facing the opposite side. "Rukia, everything all right?", Renji asked. She answered, "'Hai! I'm just going to get you two drinks, please wait for me.".
Meanwhile, the two started talking to each other while Rukia is busy preparing drinks. Renji raised his hand and said, "I'm Renji. You?". Ichigo didn't raised his hand so Renji just placed his hand on his lap. "So you two dating?", Ichigo asked with a frown. "I'm about to ask her later, so maybe yeah.", Renji answered. Ichigo stood up and went straight to the kitchen. He threw the cup Rukia was using and shouted, "I thought it was a promise! I thought that (Ichigo whispered *I thought I have a chance*)". Rukia got confuse. She knew it was about Renji. But she didn't expect such a reaction. So, she tried to calm him down but Ichigo ran on his way out. Rukia sat on her knees and began to cry and said, "Why? What did I do?".
Ichigo felt upset. On the contrary, Orihime was on her way home after a club meeting and saw Ichigo, "Ichigo! You look a little bit down today. What happened?", Orihime said. "Nah-ah. Don't answer. Let's just have a drink together", she added. And so they did. They didn't stop drinking until before midnight. But, the most drunk was Ichigo, so Orihime carried him up to their house and laid him on her bed.
Orihime had a plan. It was the perfect time to carry out her plan. She sat on her bed and grabbed Ichigo. She can feel Ichigo's warm breath. She started kissing him. Orihime trailed his fingers on Ichigo's flesh, and would start to remove his shirt and started kissing him again. Orihime pressed her face on Ichigo's palm. But, she was also drunk herself so she fell down on her bed together with Ichigo. Nothing happened, the only thing that Orihime did was kissing.
Orihime's brother went up stairs and glanced at Orihime's room, He saw Ichigo shirtless. He opened the lights and shouted, "ORIHIME!". Orihime stood up unbalanced. Her brother slapped her in the face. "Orihime, how could you?". Ichigo regained consciousness and saw he was shirtless. Orihime's brother went up close and punched Ichigo in the face and added, "YOU! You did this. You'll pay! You have to be with her and after college, you'll have to marry her.". Ichigo got shocked but he couldn't do anything. He couldn't remember anything.
