Chapter 2 - Mind Field

Ichigo blinked shaking his head, coming back to his present surroundings. The headache had a tendency to cause him to blank out a few moments.

"Ahh did you hear me?" the blond girl with tan skin said. Her backpack looked like a cat, her other equally tan friends were giggling and staring at Ichigo covering their mouths as they traded compliments about him.

"Hmmm... I apologize. What was your order?" He was at work, a waiter, he had wanted to be in the kitchen away from everyone when the took the job at Kanpeki na Ryoori restaurant, but the owner, Haru Takemago saw how much his young female patrons liked him, and made him a waiter. He was wearing black slacks, a crisp white shirt and a red apron around his waist.

Tips were good and helped him pay his rent. Isshin had offered to pay but Ichigo had refused.

"I said I want two Oyaku Donburi and one tempura udon and 3 CC lemon." He wrote down the order this time, as she stared in his eyes, openly flirting with him. twirling her honey blond hair around her finger.

"So what time do you get off?"

"Ahh.. around 8."

"What school do you go to?"

"Ahh Karakura High School."

"Hey you're that Kurosaki kid, One of my boyfriends says your a bad-ass."

"Not really, just a bad reputation."

"I like bad asses, and bad reputations." She leaned forward staring at him lustfully. Ichigo pretended to blush, he was used to it now. He wasn't the least turned on. they were all cute alright but they smelled like smoke and liquor. It was hurting his nose, he felt a dull throb begin. The smile stayed plastered to his face.

"You should you have a bad reputation you slut." they giggled. Ichigo smiled, rubbing his head.

"Really that's cool and I'll get your drinks."

"There's a party later, do you want to go?"

"Sorry I can't," He looked back at Orihime. She was a waitress working with had hired her when she saw her come to visit Ichigo one night and her had her out as eye candy for all the perverted high school guys and businessmen that came in. Of course she always went home with 5 times as many tips as he did.

Ichigo walked back to the kitchen.

"I need two Oyaku donburi and a tempura udon for table one."

"Whooo Ichigo..." Sachi Mobura said, he worked in the kitchen an he was definitely a perv. Ichigo was sure he some shrine up to Orihime in his home but as long as he kept his hands to himself then they were cool. " Did you get any numbers, or email?" he said with a lecherous smile.

"What? No." he said looking back at his table full of girls and smiling, then turning back dead face to Sachi. "Fill the order please."

"Why are you so angry all the time man. You get to go home with that fine pi-" Ichigo shot him a look as sharp as Zangetsu.

"NO! Wait I mean, the lovely Orihime," Sach said cleaning up his language fumbling with the orders he was trying to fill.

"Leave him alone Sa-cho" Takemago said coming in on the conversation and patting Ichigo on the back. "At least he's smiling for the ladies. That's what keeps bringing them in." Takemago was a a short barrel chest man, with skinny legs. He looked like an orange with two toothpicks for legs. But he was well dressed,he tried to dress like his clientele, which was something to see. His graying hair was re-dyed black every few weeks and today he was wearing a pair of sunglasses that were too small for his head.

"Remember I'm leaving early tonight, my sisters are coming over for dinner. Your making the order right Sachi?"

"Got it Ichigo." Sachi said saluting to him.

"On a Friday night Kurosaki?" Takemago said almost pouting as the restaurant was filling up.

"I've already missed like 3 dinners with them because of cram school, so I'm not missing it tonight, besides you already said it was okay so I'm leaving at 8 Takemago."

Takemago remembered staying yes and now was trying to get out of it, but he didn't want to lose Ichigo all together and definitely not Orihime.

"Ok you got me, Kurosaki, just do that last table and you guys can go."

Ichigo headed to his table, smile plastered to his face.

"What can I get you guys?"

"Hi Ichigo."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"C'mon.."

"I don't want too."

"This is stupid, you guys can't keep going on like this."

"He did it."

They walked into Kanpeki na Ryoori Restaurant. Looking around. Tatsuki looked around, She sighed, in relief seeing Ichigo. He was working tonight. She knew it she wouldn't be able to get Chad and Uryuu to come with her again after she had sprung this on them. They call piled into the restaurant. Mizuiro Chad Keigo Uryuu. She had treated everyone to a movei and suggested they go out to eat, Uryuu had tried to cut out when he felt Ichigo's reiatsu getting stronger the closer they got to the restaurant, but a swift kick in the nuts from Tatsuki had incapacitated him. Chad didn't want to hurt any of his friends, ore get hurt(he was a little afraid of Tatsuki) so had agreed to come along quietly.

Ichigo stared in shock at the table full of people he used to call friend. Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, Ryou,Chizuru, Mahana,Michiru Uryuu and Chad.

"What do you guys want?

"We came to eat and see you," Tatsuki said cheerily.

Ichigo cut his eyes at Uryuu who adjusted his glasses and turned away.

"Hey Kurosaki." Chad said. Ichigo nodded at him.

"We miss you." Mizuiro said.

"Ahh yeah we do," Keigo chimed in after feeling the burn of Tatsuki's elbow in his ribs. Can I get and order of ten ju?" Tatsuki elbowed him again. "I thought we came to eat?" he mumbled to her."I'm hungry."

"You wanna do something after work tonight, we're gonna see another movie."

"No, I'm hanging out with my sisters tonight." he looked at his watch 7:55pm. He was uncomfortable, though a part of him was happy very happy to see them.

Orihime looked at her watch as the two men stared at her breasts tying to pretend they were looking at the menu, she knew it was almost time for she and Ichigo out head out and meet Karin and Yuzu. She looked around the busy restaurant seeing Ichigo, she looked to his table seeing Tatsuki and the others.

"Tatsuki... TATSUKI!"

Tatsuki looked up seeing Orihime, bounding over to them, Tatsuki hugged her. "Orihime," she said "its so good to see her."

Uryuu stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Ishida.

Ichigo let the girls reconnect and told Takemago that his last able was full of old friends and to make sure they got whatever they wanted. He delivered to the orders to the flirty tan girls and and took his dinner and left out the back exit of the store. He felt he had kept Orihime from her friends long enough so he didn't want to pull her away from them now.

Ichigo rounded the corner from the restaurant heading to the clinic.

"Ichigo there you are," He looked up seeing Yuzu running to him. she threw her arms around his waist hugging him fiercely.

"Ahh Yuzu what are you doing here,? I was coming to get you?"

"I know but we decided to come here."

"Hey Ichigo" Karin said hugging him trying to sound nonchalant. She covered her head in his chest trying to hide her tears. She missed him so much.

"Hey Karin. You're getting taller every time I see you."

"If you saw us more often then it wouldn't seem like a shock." She looked up at him angrily.

"Ahh...I'm sorry Karin. With cram school and work its just hard right now," He looked around.

"Your fathers not here Ichigo." Ichigo looked over his shoulder to see Kisuke Urahara.

"Yeah dads away on business, so we're staying with Urahara -san," Yuzu said taking the bag of food from Ichigo.

"Away on business?"

"Yeah, he took your old post Ichigo." Urahara said. "Rukia's not here. He was backing up Zennosuke, something came up with... he looked at the girls they still didn't know everything yet. "HQ and he's been there."

Ichigo narrowed his eyes angrily.

"So I'm taking care of these fine ladies until he shows up."

"Fine." Ichigo said. "Lets go.." they headed toward Ichigo's apartment. the girls running ahead, ready to eat.

"Your father's missing," Urahara said, flash stepping next to Ichigo.

"Huh?"

"He was taking over your duties for Karakura town but somethings come up in the Seireitei, we can't get any info. They had called to see if Isshin could help but that was 3 weeks ago and we haven't heard any info from them. We just tell the girls the business trip has been extended, but I don't know how much longer I can keep telling them that." Urahara waited for a response that didn't come..

"Well I just thought you should know." he said happily lifting up his fan,"Don't worry Yoruichi is on the hunt for info and I'll be back to get the girls on Sunday night."
