I don't own Bleach

Orihime looked at her watch and noticed that it was already in the middle of the day. She peeked into Ichigo's room hoping that he was still asleep. She looked around and notices he was snoring. "Yes!" she thought then crept into his room and looked for his wallet. "I have been wearing your clothes for far too long Strawberry-san." She said to herself. She stopped in the center of the room when he started to turn in his sleep. She shut her eyes then opened one slowly hoping he was still sleeping. He started to snore again then she let out a small sigh. She looked around again and saw a black wallet on his dresser. She made a little victory dance then tip toed toward the wallet. She looked back at him and he was still sleeping. She took the wallet then opened it. "Daamn!" she yelled to herself. "This kid is filthy rich!" she looked back and he was on his belly now. She smiled to herself. "Sorry Strawberry-san, but I think it's time for me to dress my own gender."

"I-Inoue." She heard him mumble. She froze in her spot. "Did he say what I think he said?" she asked herself then walked closer towards him. "Inoue." He murmured again. A little blush came across her face. "H-he's dreaming of me?" she asked herself. He turned again and it made her jump a little. She looked at the wallet then back at him. "I need to get out of here." She said then darted quietly across the room. She ran downstairs then quickly left the house. Since she didn't have a cell phone and there was no guarantee that she would be safe, she decided that it was best to go shopping with Tatsuki. Shortly after thinking it through, she arrived at Tatsuki's and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later the raven haired girl opened the door.

"Orihime?" Tatsuki asked surprised. Orihime then gave her a big bear hug.

"Tatsuki!" she yelled. "I have a proposition for you." She said as she released her best friend. Tatsuki looked at her worried.

"W-what is it?" she asked very curious. Orihime then reached into her pocket and took out a big black wallet full of money. Tatsuki's eyes widened. "W-where did you get that?" Tatuski asked worried. Orihime gave her a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry I'm borrowing it from Strawberry-san. I'm sure he wouldn't mind." She said then grabbed her hand. "Let's go shopping!" she yelled then pointed in the direction of the mall. Tatsuki laughed then went inside to change.

"What the hell!?" Ichigo yelled as he looked for his wallet. "I swear I put it here last night." He said still rummaging through some boxes. He ran down stairs to see if Orihime has seen it. "Oii! Orihime! Have you seen my wallet!" he yelled as made his way down stairs. He waited for a response but got nothing. "That's weird." He said to himself when he noticed that it was very quiet in the house. He jogged back up stairs and went toward her room. He knocked a few times. "Oii. Are you awake?" he knocked again. When he didn't hear an answer he slowly opened the door and saw that she wasn't in the room. He sighed heavily then entered the room. He saw that there was a note on the bed and clothes that were folded neatly underneath it. "What the hell is this?" he said then snatched the letter up angrily.

"Strawberry-san,

If you're reading this that means that you probably couldn't find your wallet and came into my room to ask me if I have seen it. Hehehe. Yeah, I've seen it and I would like to tell you that I have it right now."

Ichigo shook the paper angrily. "The hell she doin' with my wallet!" he yelled. He kept on reading the note.

"Okay Okay, I know it was wrong to take your wallet without asking, but I am tired of your baggy clothes! I'm greatful that you gave them to me but I think it's time for me to dress in my own gender. So I am sorry for taking your wallet again so please don't be mad at me. Don't worry. I won't be alone because I asked Tatsuki to accompany my shopping. And if that doesn't ease your mind (and I know it won't), I asked her boyfriend to come with us so I know I'll be pretty safe. So relax.

Thanks again ;D, Orihime

Ichigo crumbled the paper up then ran down stairs. "Don't worry my ass!" he yelled as he grabbed the house keys. "And since when did Tatsuki have a boyfriend. Ima have to talk to her later." He said locking the door. He rushed down the street till he finally made it to where all the stores were. "She can't be that hard to miss." He said then started to jog all over town searching for her.

"Orihime? Are you sure it's okay to spend all this money on clothes?" Tatsuki asked carrying a whole bunch of shopping bags.

"Yeah Inoue-san. I heard this wasn't your money." Said another voice behind another bunch of bags.

"Tatsuki, Uryu-san. It's alright he won't be that mad." Orihime said then stopped causing both of them to drop her bags. "Or will he?" Orihime thought then realized that they dropped all of her stuff. "I'm so sorry!" she yelled then bent down to help them pick everything up.

"It's fine Orihime." Tatsuki said balancing the bags in her arms.

"No problem." Uryu said as he picked up the last bag. Orihime sighed.

"Sorry guys. Let's go get something to eat." Orihime said then turned back around. "It's my treat." She sang then skipped off happily.

"Orihime, wait up." Tatsuki yelled for her. She obviously didn't hear her because she vanished into the crowd.

"Tasuki I think that we should hurry and catch up with her." Ishida said trying to push his glasses back in place. The two of them then rushed in the direction they saw her last.

Ichigo rushed around the mall looking in all the stores he would think she would go to but had no luck in finding her. "Where the hell did that woman go!?" he yelled as he searched the stores. He exited the mall panting with his hands on his knees. He finally stood up straight and saw two people carrying many pink bags. Then it clicked. A scowl crept on his face. "I found you 'Hime." He said in a dark voice then rushed over to the two people holding the bags. The two didn't notice him running toward them till the last second. Ichigo stepped right in front of them causing both of them to drop all of the bags. "Orihim-"

"What the hell Ichigo!" Tatsuki yelled then hit him very hard on the head. Ichigo's scowl deepened.

"I'm guessing those are Orihime's." he said angrily.

"Y-yeah." She said quietly.

"Where's Orihime? She said she would be with you and your boyfriend." He said then scanned him. He pushed his glasses up from his nose. "I'm guessing this is your boyfriend." He said.

"And who might you be?" he said irritated.

"Kurosaki Ichigo. And who're you?" he said crossing his arms.

"Ishida Uryu." He said as Tatsuki started to pick up the things from the ground.

"Ch. I didn't know you went for the nerds Tatsuki. How fall have you fallen?" Ichigo smiled. Ishida's brow twitched.

"Ichigo!" Tatsuki yelled while blushing.

"What was that Kurosaki?" he said.

"I wasn't talking to you Ishida. I said Tatsuki." He said waving his hand.

"Then keep my name from your mouth." He said pushing his glasses back up.

"Or what?" He said closer to him. Then Tatsuki hit both of them in the head very hard.

"Stop the damn fighting!" she said angrily. "I'm still worried about Orihime." She said quietly.

"Wait. Where is she?" he asked seriously rubbing his probably bruised head. Ishida refrained his composure and glared at him.

"That's what we were trying to find out until you interrupted our search." He said irritated. Ichigo's eyes widened.

"Why'd you lose her!?" he yelled griping Ishida's shirt roughly. It shocked both Tatsuki and Ishida.

"I-ichigo let g-go of him!" she yelled. Ichigo realized what he was doing then backed away.

"Sorry." He said then started to run to search for her.

"Ichigo wait!" she yelled but he was already gone.

"What's his problem?" Ishida said as he turned to her. She was still looking in his direction.

"I have no idea." She said still shocked. Orihime looked around and saw no familiar faces. She pouted.

"I guess I lost them somehow." She said sadly as she walked slowly around the crowd. "I don't even have a jacket to wear." She said trying to keep herself warm. She looked down at what she was wearing. It was the only thing that was hers from her house. She looked at the sky. "It's already getting dark."She sighed. "I need to hurry up and find them before Strawberry-san starts flipping out." She said then somebody touched her shoulder. She immediately turned around, letting her orange locks fly as she turned. When she turned around to see a tall blond guy standing in front of her.

"It looks like you're lost." He said with a big smile. The smile wasn't like Gin's but it so she was a little relieved that she was safe.

"Y-you could tell." She said with a small smile. He smiled back at her.

"Want me ta' help you' look for whoever' you lost?" he said with a smile.

"Y-you would do that for me?" she asked truly shocked.

"Why of course I would. I wouldn't let a beautiful girl walk alone in this dangerous world." He said as they started to walk. He saw her shiver under the cold breeze then he took his jacket off and covered her with it.

"You didn't have to do that!" she said waving her hands across her face. He chuckled.

"I'm not gonna let you stand out here in the cold while I stay warm. What man would I be if let that happen?" he said with a smile. Orihime smiled back at him.

"Um. Thank you. Um Stranger-san?" she said confused on what she should call the nice man.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I still haven't told you my name. I'm Hirako Shinji." He said with a smile. Orihime smiled back at him.

"I'm Inoue Orihime." She said with a big smile. He took her hand and kissed it.

"The pleasures all mine." He said with a wink. She blushed many shades of red.

"Get away from her!" yelled a voice from the side of her. Then all of a sudden Shinji flew all the way across the sidewalk. Orihime's eyes almost bugged out of her head.

"S-Shinji-san!" she yelled and tried to run to go help him but someone grabbed her wrist. She turned around to see who held her wrist.

"I caught you 'Hime." Said a dark husky voice.

"S-Stawberyy-san!?" she yelled surprised. He glared at her and she didn't say anything else.

"What were you thinking walking around all by yourself!?" he yelled at her gripping her wrist tighter. "You could have been killed!" he yelled at her.

"B-but I wasn't alone. S-shinji-san was helping me look for Tatsuki and Uryu!" she yelled pointing at the limp Shinji. Ichigo snapped his head toward his direction.

"Who the hell is he?!" he yelled at her. She tried to get free of his grasp but failed to do so.

"I told you he's Shinji-san!" she yelled then wiggled free from him. "Shinji-san! Are you okay?!" she yelled as she ran toward him. Ichigo felt his brow twitch. "She's wearing his jacket and he was kissing her hand. Is that her…boyfriend? No it can't be. Why would she stay with him in a house if she had a boyfriend?" he said to himself. His blood started to boil.

"Ichigo why'd you have to be so mean!" she yelled helping the skinny guy up. "He was being so nice to me and you hurt him!" she yelled at him. Ichigo glared at him.

"He was being a little too nice." He huffed. Then the blond stood up on his own.

"Jealous much?" he said with a toothy grin. Ichigo snapped his head in his direction.

"What was that?" Ichigo said walking toward him.

"I-ichigo, S-shinji please don't fight." She said.

"Orihime!" yelled a female voice. Orihime turned her head toward the voice and saw Tatsuki and Ishida running with a whole bunch of bags in their hands.

"Tatsuki, Uryu." She said surprised. Tatsuki rushed over toward her and carefully put the bags on the ground so she could give her a hug.

"Why'd you run off like that!?" she yelled as she gave her a big hug. "You scared the living hell out of me." She said quietly.

"S-sorry. Don't worry. Shinji-san walked me while we looked for you guys." She said looking at the two of them fighting. "I-ichigo stop it!" she yelled then ran over toward them.

"Imbecile." Ishida said then put his glasses back in place. He placed the bags next to the ones that Tatsuki had. "Common Tatsuki lets go home. We'll let them take it from here." He said grabbing her hand. She looked back and called out to Orihime.

"We're gonna go home now! See you later and be safe Orihime!" she yelled.

"Okay Tatsuki! You too! Bye Uryu!" she yelled waving her hands. He waved one hand and they were gone. Orihime sighed then looked at the two fighting. "Guys stop fighting over me!" she yelled. This caught both of their attention. Ichigo blushed a little then snorted.

"Who would want to fight over you?" he said looking down at her then Shinji shot up out of nowhere.

"I would." He said then gripped her hands gently. "I will always fight for you 'Hime." He said to her. She blushed massively then Ichigo kicked him.

"Shut up!" he yelled then took his jacket off of Orihime then through it at him. He then took his own jacket and put it over her. She looked at him shocked.

"I-Ichigo…" she said then he turned around.

"I wouldn't want you smelling like that when we get home." He said to her. They heard Shinji protest about how he smelled.

"T-Thanks." She said getting cozier in his jacket. He looked at her then to the bags on the ground then sighed.

"I wonder who's carrying those." He said to her and she smiled.

"You are of course." He was taken back a little when she actually though that he would carry all of them by himself. "I'll help a little and Shinji could help us too." She said with a big smile. Ichigo glared at Shinji.

"I'll carry them myself." He said then picked them up one by one. Then they all heard something gargle. Shinji and Ichigo looked at each other then down at Orihime. She was smiling nervously. "A-are you hungry?" Ichigo asked slowly. She waved her hands across her face.

"O-of course not!" she yelled embarrassed then the gargling of her stomach continued. He sighed.

"You had all my money and you didn't get anything to eat?" he said to her confused. She pouted.

"I said I'm not hungry." She said under her breath.

"You don't sound like you're not hungry." Ichigo protested. Shinji nodded in agreement and picked up some of her bags. "C'mon. Let go eat." He demanded. She pouted some more.

"I told you I'm not-"

"I said lets go eat." He growled at her. She gulped then lowered her head.

"Okay." She said slowly and followed him obediently. Shinji scoffed at the sight.

"Just my luck. Another pretty one taken away by an idiot." He said to himself and let out a sad sigh. They arrived at the closest food place. Apparently Orihime hadn't eaten for a long time so she ordered the whole menu. Both Shinji and Ichigo looked at her surprised that the small girl could eat so much.

"Not hungry my ass." Ichigo said under his breath. Orihime finally finished with what she was eating.

"I can't eat another bite!" she said as she stretched. She stood up from the chair. "I'm gonna go freshen up." She said then skipped toward the lady's room. They both watched her as she made her way saftly to the bathroom. Ichigo also stood up. Shinji automatically went into defensive mode but was surprised to see him bowing. He eyed him.

"I would like…. To thank you for keeping Orihime safe while I wasn't there for her." He said with his head still bowed.

"Ch. It's not like I saved her life or anything." He said looking back through the window. Ichigo stood up tall.

"Knowing her, you probably did without even noticing It." he said as he looked for his wallet again. "Dammit. She still has it." he said then sat back down. Orihime came out the bathroom looking refreshed and came and sat down.

"So we should split the food up into thirds." Orihime said looking at all of the food on the table.

"Wait. Why?" Ichigo said.

"Because. There will be some for me and some for you and some for Shinji-san, right?" she said looking at Shinji who was still staring in the window. He looked at her then smiled.

"Right." He said. They asked the waiters for carry out boxes then Orihime pulled out Ichigo's wallet and paid for the tab. When Ichigo saw her taking money from his wallet and after she did he snatched the wallet out of her hand.

"You milked me dry woman!" he said looking at his wallet sadly.

"Sorry. I couldn't help myself. And plus Uryu helped me pick out so many outfits it made it hard for me to choose so I just had to by all of them." She said bowing. Ishida's face popped in Ichigo's head then he balled up his fists.

"That bastard." He said under his breath. Orihime sighed as she packed the last of the food into the boxes. She handed one to Shinji before he left.

"Thanks Shinji for walking with me." She said with a big smile. He took her hand and kissed it once more making her blush again.

"I already told you it was my pleasure." He said with a toothy grin. Ichigo then kicked him again.

"Didn't I already tell you to get away from her?!" he yelled as he stopped on him.

"Stawberyy-san! D-don't kill him he was just being nice!" she yelled trying to pull him off.

"Yeah to nice for his own good!" he said still stomping on him. Then Orihime finally gave up and let them wrestle for a little bit. She said on the steps with her shopping bags next to her and looked up at the sky.

"It's so nice and pretty." She said looking at the stars. They both looked at the beauty and blushed. Ichigo felt a hand on his shoulder.

"You're one lucky kid Kurosaki." He said then waved and started to walk away. Ichigo blushed for a while then joined her on the steps. He watched as she 'ooed' and 'awwed' at the sky. He didn't need to look at the sky because the most beautiful thing he's ever seen was sitting right next to him. She looked up at him with her brown orbs and it made him want to just lean in and kiss her but he immediately crushed the urge.

"We should get home." He said standing up and collecting her bags. She smiled and nodded. They walked together in silence then Ichigo broke the silence.

"Orihime…." He said then looked down at her.

"Yeah. " she said looking back at him. He put his hands on her shoulders.

"Don't ever do that again. Okay?" he said softly looking deep into her eyes. Her eyes widened as he hugged her. She tried her hardest not to fall or melt away in his embrace. "You could have died." He said as he rested his chin on her head. "I don't know what I would have done if anything bad happened to you." He said softly.

"I'm sorry for worrying you." She said quietly into his shirt. He nodded in response.

"Just don't leave me like that again. Okay." He said pulling back from the embrace. She smiled at him.

"Okay Strawberry-san." She said with a big smile.
