Bleach is too awesome to be made by me. Ha anyways, please enjoy!

' If Anyone'

Patiently standing in line with a calm state of mind, Tatsuki waited for her roommates. She was just intoxicated by all the amazing smells cumming from the cafe. Fresh brewing coffee, steaming baked goods straight out of the oven. It was as if her nose was in heaven, and all the chatter in the background faded away... Then laughter and yells, along with trudging footsteps, broke through her calm. Her face tensed at the destructing noise, how could someone be this energetic this early in the morning. When she heard a loud thump followed by a yelp, she immediately slung her head.

There, side by side on the floor, were two bright haired buffoons looking crushed. Tatsuki hurried to her friend's aid, reluctantly leaving her spot in line. Ichigo got right up, taking his arm off Orihime and carefully helped her up.

" Orihime you okay?" Tatsuki questioned with worry clear in her voice " I tripped..." Orihime chuckled. " I know, you always do."

Once again the gang returned to the line, only this time it was the back. Everyone was scanning the colorful chalkboard menu, trying to find what they're craving for. Ichigo was a bit intimidated by the names of each different beverage. He didn't get what the big deal was I mean basically it's just a bunch of crap mixed together.

" Ichigo- sorry I'm so clumsy." He looked down to Orihime's innocent puppy dog expression and rolled his eyes. " Listen, you need to stop apologizing so much. Shit happens that's all there is to it."

Orhime's head sank a bit " ...Right..." He sounded so cold, what happened to his earlier enthusiasm... It was probably just her, she was thinking too much, as usual. Maybe this is how Ichigo really is, then again it was morning he might be tired.

If any ones going to over Analise something like this, it would most likely be Orihime.

After they ordered their drinks the girls looked for a place to sit. Ichigo stayed behind to grab the goods and carried them back to his awaiting roomies. They picked a small yellow tilled table with dark metal legs. It was against the outside of a pillar that supported the cafe's low ceiling.

He couldn't believe how excited Orihime was when she got her huge piece of chocolate cake. Tatsuki was probably watching her weight, considering she was in advanced martial arts classes. All she ate was half a cinnamon roll, but Ichigo got the other half so he wasn't complaining.

As they ate their sweet treats together, they talked on and on about nothing. Just the same random retarded things that popped into their thoughts.

Usually Ichigo was grumpy in the morning, but today was different. He was, for the first time in ten years, thrilled about starting school.

It wasn't like he actually believed that you had crazy parties and wild romance. He wasn't stupid, he knew better then to think school could be connected in any way to anything remotely close to that. No, he was excited about this whole new level of Independence and satisfaction of making it this far in life.

Although Ichigo was overflowing with great pride as we speak, you wouldn't see it on his face. Same old trademark scowl, the one that was always glued on even when he was sleeping. Even as he chewed his side of the Delicious sticky bun it was still stuck on there rather well.

" Ichigo you okay, I think somethings wrong with your face." Orihime played. The way he always looked so tense and serious, even while eating something so warm and yummy- it was hilarious to her.

He offered her the 'What?' eyebrows with the muffled by food 'Huh'. At that moment, both Tatsuki and Orihime burst of laughing. He looked just like a serious, confused hamster with his stuffed cheek and crumb-covered mouth.

Ichigo pushed down his mouth-full with a bottle of water and whipped his lips of the unwanted residue.

" Gees can't a guy just eat without someone mocking them!" The two girls tried to hold back their laughter and shock their heads side to side. He melted in his seat, crossing his buff arms to his chest then turned his head, avoiding all eye contact.

" Aw come on Ichigo, stop being such a baby." Tatsuki Teased grinning smugly to her delight. She just loved tormenting these so called "tough guy" because it was so easy to get under their skin. Even if the insult was miner it would drag out for hours, it was simply delightful.

" We're just playing Ichigo don't let it get to you." Orihime almost reassured, but screwed it up with a giggle.

Ichigo was about to retaliate against the enemy, but was stopped dead in his tracks.

A dangerous and immensely deadly weapon was being pointed at him, only an inch away from his nose.

It was a silver fork with one large piece of chocolate cake wedged at the end. " Try some of this, it's really super good!" gleamed Orihime brightly.

At first he didn't do anything but he eventually excepted her humble peace offering. He, believe it or not, let her put the dessert in his mouth and feed it to him.

Ichigo's eyes were as wide as the sky as she pulled the utensil from his lips. They exchanged serene looks as seconds felt like hours, unsure and apathetic of what would happen next. It was hard to describe this feeling, but unbeknownst to them a new sense of trust was stitched between the two.

Tatsuki practically chocked on her drink trying to restrain her laughter " Holly crap Ichigo you're being hand fed now?! You're such a cute little baby aren't you."

He squinted his eyes in a sinister glare, but for once healed his peace.

It didn't taste bad at all, not too sweet, moist, and chocolaty all over. In other words, Orihime's to be exact, it was 'super good' for a coffee shop cake.

" I need to get me some of that." he complemented still chewing it, not caring if it was bad manners to talk with your mouth full. " Yeah me too man, she's sexy as hell!!" Snickered a deep anonymous voice.

Ichigo spun around in a flash setting his arm on the backrest of his chair " What'd you say!" He searched the surrounding area, darting his eyes at the back of every persons in sight's head. " Where'd he go!?"

" What??" Tatsuki questioned leaning off the side of her seat, trying to see what was going on. " Didn't you hear that who said it did you see him?"

" There wassome guy next to the pillar- I think..." She stopped, seeing Ichigo stand up and fling his head behind the pillar. Serving around his back he glancing at the rest of the lobby like his life depended on it.

" What the hell did he say to get you all worked up?" She was obviously, completely confused about what was going on.

The strawberry studied his surroundings and saw that they had an unwanted audience. " What the hell are you looking at!!" he yelled in annoyance causing all heads to turn away from the scene, and others to do the opposite.

He's getting upset over nothing and causing unwanted publicity. It was just a stupid comment by some ignorant bastard, for god's sake he heard that stuff every second of his life. She herself probably got crap like that all the time, just look at her. When he first saw her she literally had eight guys stalking her, along with the eyes of every male in the room!

Remembering that moment Ichigo started to calm down as if realizing something. You could say he was having an epiphany, but he didn't completely understand it.

Maybe he wasn't over blowing this after all... Orihime was his friend now right, and she was kind enough to let him live with her. Any decent person would do the same thing he was if they were in his position.

Anyways it wasn't like he was going to find the guy any time soon, he didn't even know what he looked like.

Ichigo sighed in defeat and plopped back in his seat, stealing some more of Orihime's cake " Nothing..." If he told them Tatsuki would just go on a rampage then end up in prison for assault and murder.

Besides, if anyone's killing that son of a bitch it's him damn it!

Sorry this took so long, I really am... I've just been caught up in school.

All right I made this longer and it is starting the real story if you get what I'm saying here. I was going to put more in this but I found a little flaw in my plot, so I stopped hear so it would make sense. I completely hate giving hints and preview etc. but I'm excited myself so I'm going to share a little tiny hint with you. Several new character will be introduced in the next chapter, that's why I stopped here (you'll see why it's better this way soon trust me.) If you want you can guess which characters will be added, there will at least be 5. If you get them 3-5 right, I'll give you something in return okay!

Also,

It may be a while before I update because I have school (HOMEWORK, french, creative writing, and art is so time consuming) and dance (ballet, jazz, hip hop, modern, lyrical, yoga, point etc.) it's not summer anymore... So please be understanding and patient with me, I promise I'll try to update on the weekends kay!

Anyways,

PLEASE R&R PLEASE, TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKE AND DISLIKE. GIVE ME A REASON TO CONTINUE THIS STORY! HELP ME MAKE IT BETTER!! THEN I JUST MIGHT UPDATE FASTER!!

Don't be afraid to tell me what you think, and what you'd like to see. I will most definitely listen, the ones who R&R are the ones who give me inspiration and hope for my story. If you ask nicely I'd probably give you some of my future ideas who knows!
