I do not own Bleach and all its entirety. Enjoy! ^^
Ichigo walked with only one goal in his mind, home. But not Yuzu apparently. While Ichigo's eyes were fixed straight ahead, Yuzu's were on almost each shop along the street.
"Is there something else you need to get?" Ichgo asked, noticing his sister's behaviour. The bags in his hands were heavy and Yuzu was not helping to get home fast enough.
"I'm looking for a doughnut sh- Ah, there it is!" Yuzu pointed a shop in delight.
"Doughnut? Why?"
"Because I want some." Yuzu said and half ran into the shop.
Ichigo watched his sister disappeared into the shop and sighed seconds later. Giving up to stop her and went into the shop himself.
The aroma that welcomed him was quite tempting but what does a guy like him knew about doughnut anyway? It's all the same to him. I thought doughnut was something you get at a regular bakery. There's actually a shop dedicated to doughnuts alone? He wondered. He put the bags on top of a table and went to Yuzu. Noticing her brother, Yuzu turned with a smile on her face.
"Oni-chan, which one do you want?"
"What do you mean which one? Aren't doughnuts all the same?"
"No. Look, they come in different colours and flavours." Yuzu explained and motioning her hands to the selections of doughnuts. Ichigo looked around him and saw colourful doughnuts. Seriously? Doughnuts have flavours? Ichigo looked at Yuzu again and still he couldn't believe it.
"Fine whatever, just don't take too long." Ichgo went to take a seat. I really need a seat, especially now that doughnuts come in many colours and flavours.
But Ichigo noticed something and stopped in his way. A tray of doughnuts topped with what looks like honey to him with some blue-coloured sprinkles laid there on his left. The frown got deeper, his mouth half opened. He stared at the doughnuts nonetheless. Is that honey? Who eats doughnuts with honey? Now why do these doughnuts look familiar?
Ichigo stood there wondering and eyes locked on the doughnuts. After a few seconds, he found the answer. Inoue, these doughnuts look like Inoue. And these are something only she would eat. How ironic is that? Ichigo chuckled. I swear, if I put googly eyes on them, they'd looked like Inoue.
"Oni-chan, you want that?" Yuzu looked up at Ichigo, a bag in hand.
"What? No." Ichigo said defensively. Yuzu stared hard at him, sensing something fishy.
"Wait, you already paid for that?" Ichigo pointed the bag.
"Yeah. Don't worry Oni-chan, wait here a moment." Yuzu went to get a tray and came back.
"How much do you want of this?"
"Err...two. Wait, that's not enough. Make it three." And Yuzu just went along with Ichigo.
"Here's the money." Ichigo gave his money to Yuzu when she was about to go to the counter.
What am I doing?

"Oni-chan, you sure she's nearby?" Yuzu looked up at Ichigo and Ichigo just nodded.
"How do you know that?"
Right, now how do I explain this to her? Yuzu doesn't know a thing about reiatsu and that whole shinigami stuff. Ichigo looked at his sister and rubbed his head.
"I just do." He answered simply.
"Aww..."
Yuzu's reaction brought confusion to him and he stared at her questioningly. Yuzu kept smiling without answering him.
"Kurosaki-kun?"
Both Ichigo and Yuzu turned around to the voice. See? The doughnuts really do look like her.
"Hello, Orihime-chan." Yuzu said, almost beaming.
"Hi,Yuzu-chan." Orihime answered in her usual tone. Smiling but still looking confused. "What are you two doing here?"
"Hehe...Oni-chan got something for you." Yuzu said, grinning wide to the ears.
"Eh?" Orihime turned to Ichigo. Yuzu, smiling in glee, backed off a few steps as Ichigo handed out a bag to Orihime. Orihime knew what it was with only a glance.
"Aah! Doughnuts!" Big eyed Orihime took the bag from Ichigo and opened the box inside. I should've put some googly eyes on the doughnuts.
"I...just thought they look like you." Ichigo said, trying to make it sound flat. Orihime looked up from the box to Ichigo. She smiled her biggest smile and chuckled.
"Oh, no wonder you want me to carry it carefully." Yuzu said meaningfully. She smiled, teasing Ichigo.
No blushing, no blushing.
Ichigo glared at Yuzu, trying to telepathically tell her to stop.
"Thank you Kurosaki-kun. You don't really have to. You can just tell me about it tomorrow at school and I can get them myself."
Yup, that's the first thing you're going to do after school then.
"No, it's nothing really." Ichigo tried to sound casual.
"Hehe...you're so nice Kurosaki-kun. I can't wait to eat them."
"Well, enjoy it then. We're taking out leave." Ichigo started leaving. Yuzu then followed him after saying goodbye to Orihime.

"So, you want cake this time?" Ichigo asked Yuzu in disbelief but following her to the cake store anyway. Yuzu just nodded to answer him.
Ichigo took a seat as soon as he got into the store. Yuzu came to him a couple of minutes later with a big smile plastered on her face. Ichigo looked at her questioningly but she didn't say anything. She just grabbed his hand and walked to a row of cakes.
"You don't want to buy this Oni-chan?"
Ichigo turned to look at the cake Yuzu was pointing at. It was a caramel pudding topped with strawberries.
"Why would-" Ichigo stared at Yuzu, understanding her point. Damn!
"No."
"Come on, it looks like Orihime-chan." Yuzu protested.
"No it doesn't. And why do I have to buy her food?"
"I'm sure she'll love it." Yuzu insisted.

Yep, she loved it.
