A/N: Three songs in the story are: Only You by Ashanti, then Differences by Ginuwine, and the third song is stated in the story! It's a surprise! Can't tell ya now! ;)
Chapter 8: The Dancing Store
"Inoue, did you really have to order all that crazy stuff on the pizza," Ishida asked while he fiddled with the key as he tried to hold on to the pizza.
"What do you mean crazy?" she looked at him innocently.
"Never mind…" he replied as he opened the door, "Home sweet home…"
The two walked into the apartment. Inoue turned the lights on and went over to the sofa, then sat down while Ishida set the pizza in the kitchen and prepared their plates.
"What movie did you pick Uryuu?" she yelled as she seared through the bag full of candy for the movie.
"Sabrina!" he yelled back to her.
"Sabrina? Never heard of that…"
"It's a classic I like. Has Audrey Hepburn in it; she was a great American actress" Ishida said as he set the plates down on the coffee table and picked up the movie choices.
"Saw 3? This is what you picked?" he said looking at Inoue in disbelief.
"Why of course! I can't wait to see what happens!" she said cheerfully, "but we can watch your movie first. Sweet then scary is the way to go!"
"It's actually the other way around," Ishida said as he adjusted his glasses, "And why does the movie I pick have to be sweet!?"
"Well- what's this?" Inoue asked surprisingly at a note next to her plate of food.
She studied the paper for a moment before she finally picked it up. She opened it slowly and read the letter silently to herself. It didn't take much to guess it was a disappointing note from Ichigo. It was written all over Inoue's face.
Dear Orihime,
I came by the apartment and you weren't here. But anyways, I'm going out tonight and I'll be back late. See ya when I get home.
Ichigo
Inoue casually closed the letter and placed it back on the table. She stared off into space thinking of Ichigo; more importantly who he was with. Ichigo had never really given her his full attention, but now, he hardly spoke to her. She lowered her eyes to the floor and unexpectedly met Uryuu's gaze. He gave her a quick smile as he stood up with the movie in his hand.
Uryuu tried his best to act uninterested as he stood and put "Sabrina" into the DVD player, but he was worried about her. So instead of comforting her, he gave her a smile. Anything else would be crossing the line.
He pressed play on the machine as he sighed to himself. Why she let Ichigo have such effects on her was beyond him. But at least now she sees.
"Maybe this movie will open her eyes up more," he thought hopefully to himself.
The movie started and he came back to sit down closely next to Inoue and put his arm around the back of the sofa. Much to his surprise a head came to land on his shoulder.
"Thanks for the movies, Uryuu…" Inoue said somberly.
Uryuu didn't reply but he put his arm around her shoulder and she didn't flinch. He smiled as his focus turned back to the movie. He could only hope she would like it and the meaning behind it.
It was almost 10pm. An annoyed short woman sat at the bar, looking a little irritated as she ordered another drink. She had arrived to the "dancing store" pretty late her self, but Ichigo should be here. Stopping by Urahada's shop to pick up some clothes from Yoruichi, did take longer than she thought. It took her a while to find something that was appropriate; she was hoping that Ichigo hadn't left if he had arrived on time.
Crazy….'bout
the…way you …make me feel
I just …..gotta ….have you
…here
And I…wanna….let you…know
I won't …ever …let
you
go
Rukia began swaying her hips to the song as she downed her drink. This was one of her favorite songs from the human world. Nice beat, and it made her think of Ichigo.
Ichigo just walked into the club, and went over to the DJ for a brief moment. Afterwards, it didn't take him long to find the woman he was looking for; he knew just were to check. He smiled as he spotted the short raven head quickly; right at the bar. There were plenty of guys eying her, but Rukia was giving off the "don't come near me vibe" so most of them stayed away, but they continued staring. She looked good, very good. She wore a short black skirt with a dark purple halter top, her back and stomach were slightly exposed as well. He walked over to her, trying to surprise her.
"Your late." She said not even turning around as she finished her drink and ordered two more.
She has eyes in the back of her head.
"Yeah I know, the hollows were a little crazy today," he replied and causally stood next to her as he took one of the drinks, "But its nothing I want to worry about now."
"Oh," Rukia said, as she continued drinking and dancing to the song.
Ichigo stared at her moving. Yes, that new shape of hers was nice, not that he didn't like the old one, but this was nice; especially in this outfit.
"So you still remember how to dance," Ichigo said grinning as he finished his drink and ordered a shot.
"Of course I do, I think I have gotten better," she smiled, "You wanted dance?"
"Sure do, but to the next song," he said smirking.
Rukia knew this look. He more than likely asked the DJ to play something for him. That smile only came when he was planning something.
She eyed Ichigo as "Only You" came to a close. That smile he was giving her was making her feel hot, though it may have been all the drinks she had. He was wearing a pair of loose dark jeans with a black short sleeve button up shirt with the top two buttons not fastened showing the white t-shirt underneath. The outfit showed off his muscles and that grin he was making made him look sexy. She was looking forward to the next song; "Only you" just had a few more seconds.
Only
you can make me feel
And only you can take me there
Only
you can make me feel
And only you can take me there
OoOo I
can't wait to get next to you
Oohh I just can't leave you alone
The song closed then, bass and a soft beat started again. Rukia knew what was about to play. She turned to Ichigo who quickly drank his shot and held out his hand to her as the song started slowly. The song started with a man singing the chorus.
My
whole life has changed
Since you came in, I knew back then
You
were that special one
I'm so in love, so deep in love
You
make my life complete
You are so sweet, no one competes
Glad
you came into my life
You blind me with your love, with you I have
no sight
The bass got louder as a soft beat continued in the background. Rukia's eyes lit up when she heard the opening to the song; Ichigo was cute when he wanted to be. She smiled at the thought as she took Ichigo's hand and headed for the dance floor. He let his hand slide down her arm and grabbed Rukia by the waste and led her to the center of the dance floor. She swayed her hips to the slow pace of the music and hurried to get to a good spot. They reached the center and Ichigo slowly pulled her closer to him. He was smiling as the song continued.
Girl,
you open me, I'm wide open
And I'm doing things I never do
But
I feel so good, I feel so good
Why'd it take so long; me finding
you
Ichigo looked intently at her as he held onto her tightly. His eyes were telling her to listen to the words. Rukia couldn't continue looking into his eyes. She was already listening to the words. She buried her face into his chest and held him tightly as they continued moving to the beat.
This is
my story and I'm telling you
It's not fiction, it's surely a
fact
Without you right here having my back
I really don't know
just where I'd be at.
Rukia felt her eyes tear up. She didn't want Ichigo to know so she turned around and her back was against his chest as she continued dancing. Ichigo could tell the song was affecting her, he knew it would. He took his hands and slid them down her body from her shoulders to her hips as she began to grind into his hips slowly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and unconsciously began rubbing him as she continued to dance. She was fully engulfed in the song. Those words, were Ichigo words, she knew he could never say them out loud, but just the fact that he requested the song was enough for her.
Girl, I
put you first
You made me, helped mold me,
Turned me into a
man, I'm so responsible
And I owe it all to you
The chorus came again after that, and Rukia was still grinding slowly onto Ichigo and rubbing the back of his neck as he roamed her sides with one hand and held onto her stomach with the other. They both lost themselves for a moment, just one moment. He bent down and kissed her neck as she continued dancing suggestively with him.
God
blessed me
Girl he was good to me when he sent you
I'm so happy
baby
Share my world
I'm so in love
I'm addicted to your love
baby
Ichigo kept trailing kisses down her neck as she rubbed the back of his neck, drawing him closer to her. They were soft kisses, sweet kisses, just like the song. She closed her eyes to embrace the moment to the fullest.
"Damn it Ichigo, why am I so happy with you… and only you," she thought to herself as she felt his soft kisses reach her lips.
Rukia opened her eyes as the song came to a close and looked up at Ichigo. His face was a little pale and his eyes had a hint of worry in them. He was looking at the door.
"Ichigo?" Rukia asked alarmed as she glanced over to where his eyes were staring.
Rukia froze, just as Ichigo had. 5 shinigami members in gigai were standing at the door with their eyes glued on them. And judging by the way they were looking; they had just seen everything.
No one moved, time was frozen. Everyone just stared at one another. The group that just entered the club wished they never spotted the two, but it was hard to miss the orange headed man in the mist of the crowd. They couldn't help but look and think of Ichigo. The hair identified the man, and also made it easy to identify the girl he was dancing with; the girl he was kissing. A tall man with orange hair, and a short woman with black hair; it was unmistakable.
All 5 shinigami wanted to forget what they witnessed; they were about to turn away and live in denial. But he looked up. Ichigo looked at them dead in the face. Still, they didn't see the girl. It wasn't a fact yet. They wanted to pretend, they needed to pretend, that the girl was someone else. But when the young woman looked up as well, it was a confirmation as well as a smack in the face. Nothing could be refuted.
"So they are having an affair….Ichigo with Rukia."
"Damn it…"
It late; very late. It was another cold and beautiful night in Soul Society, but a certain vice captain could only feel the cold as he sat under a tree recalling the days events.
"Damn it all…" the vice captain said as he continued to curse himself silently. He should have gone with the others for that drink. He could have been there, instead of here, waiting.
Rukia was still not back from her mission to the real world. She had been gone nearly 4 hours. There was nothing in the world that needed that much analysis. She was with him again, and he knew it.
The wind blew making the air even colder. Renji felt it, but he didn't shudder. The cold made him aware of past events; the mistakes he has made and how foolish he had been.
Suddenly the cold was being blocked. Renji looked up to see a familiar face staring down at him. He wasn't happy at the intrusion and frowned at the woman.
"And here I was coming to cheer you up, Abarai," she said sourly.
"What is it Hinamori? And stop calling me Abarai!"
"Well, excuse me Mr. Vice Captain, but you still call me Hinamori! Anyways, I wanted to see how you are feeling. Are you ok?" she asked sincerely.
"I'm fine. And even if I wasn't how could you help," he responded angrily.
She sighed and looked away from Renji, though she sat down next to him. Her face was no longer the cheerful helping one she presented Renji with, but a sad one.
"I don't know Abarai," she started, "How could I help you? It's not like someone I cared for has ever betrayed me…"
Her last words drifted off with the wind that blew some of her hair out of her bun. She reached up to fix it slowly and turned to look at Renji again. His face had changed to one of regret.
"Hinamori, I didn't mean-"
"I know you didn't. I know you are upset. I also know it's not my place to pry, but… it's just… you worry me," she began, "Abarai, I know your hurt, but you can't get drunk or sit around and sulk and expect your problems to get solved."
Renji frowned at her forwardness, but he knew she was right. He signed and let his defenses down. He sat more comfortably as Hinamori inched closer to him.
He sighed and turned to look at her.
"I have never said this out loud to anyone," he started sadly, "But I know I am not the man she wants; I've always known that. It's just I thought I could be the man she needed. It just sucks that it took me so long to realize that the man she wanted and needed were one and the same."
Hinamori looked at him and giggled. Renji frowned.
"I JUST SPILLED MY GUTS OUT AND SOUNDED LIKE A PUNK AND YOU LAUGH!" he shouted angrily.
"NO! That's not it at all! I just never thought you would say it out loud. You are much stronger than me." She said as her giggle changed into a fake smile.
"Hinamori-"
"You don't have to try and lie to me. I was foolish for so long. It took me almost 4 years to admit that Azien had played me for a fool. And what a fool I was…" she started sadly as tears formed in her eyes, "but at least Rukia does care for you. She won't manipulate you and she is trying her best not to hurt you. Be glad to have someone who cares for you. I wish I had someone to care for me that much."
Renji changed his face to that of a more serious look. Hinamori knew how he felt better than anyone. She knew how it felt to loss someone she loved, twice.
FLASHBACK
"Hinamori, I understand that you were under Azien's influence, but what you have done is inexcusable and unforgivable." a short silver haired captain said fiercely.
"But Shiro-chan-"
"THAT IS CAPTAIN HITSUGAYA TO YOU AND DO NOT FORGET IT!" he yelled as the room fell to a freezing temperature.
Hinamori looked to the floor. Tears were falling constantly from her eyes. She didn't even remember when she started crying.
"Will you ever forgive me?" she asked with a shaky voice.
Hitsugaya sighed angrily then turned and began to walk away.
"You attempted to kill your friends, and did kill a few….and you tried to kill me, again. It was by my graces that you weren't sent to your death. You knowingly let that evil man control you. As I am right now, I have nothing to say to you. I have enough hate inside me to last a lifetime."
Hinamori cried as ice and cold air left her presence. She was alone, truly alone. Hitsugaya put his life on the line for her and she stabbed him in the back, literally. She had betrayed the one person who cared for her unconditionally.
She turned slowly to head back to head quarters, only to notice Renji standing at the corner. She turned red and cried even more, she was completely embarrassed. She fell to the floor, admitting her defeat.
Renji stood next to her and helped her stand up. She buried herself into his chest and cried to her hearts content as Renji raised his arms and held her.
"It's going to be ok. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have gotten the inside plans for Azien's attacks," he began, "…and don't worry about Captain Hitsugaya, he said his hatred was enough for a lifetime, well that's only about a hundred years!" he finished and Hinamori looked up and gave a soft sniffle.
It wasn't a smile or a laugh, but at least her crying was stopping.
"Arigato, Renji,"
"No problem, Momo."
END FLASHBACK.
Hinamori stopped crying at the touch of a hand go over her shoulder. She sniffled a little and looked up at Renji who was staring at the stars.
"I thought you were supposed to cheer me up?" he said nonchalantly.
"Yeah, I was," she smiled, "Arigato Renji."
"That's my line," he said as he smiled to the stars, "But your still welcome nonetheless, Momo."
The club was really getting loud. It was about 11pm; more and more college students packed in due to the day off tomorrow; everyone was having a good time. Everyone, that is, except one couple that was standing in the middle of the dance floor; no longer dancing, but staring at three people who had just entered the door.
The orange headed man suddenly took his "date" by the hand and began making their way through the crowd. The raven head held onto his hand tightly, for she didn't know what he was doing. What could he do? They were caught. Neither one of them should be where they are; neither one of them should have been out with someone of the opposite sex; neither one of them should have been dancing so suggestively with someone they didn't belong too. The woman cringed at the thoughts, and just followed the tall man, holding his hand tighter with every step.
A blonde woman with 4 other men just stared at the two people approaching them in awe. They stood still, not moving an inch. What were they going to say? What could they say? Was it their place to say something; was it really right to stay quiet and act as if nothing was seen?
"Ichigo and Rukia," the large breasted woman repeated, "What do we say?"
Ichigo walked up to the group sternly with Rukia in tow. He stopped in front of them, just staring for a moment. Rukia stood slightly behind him, still clutching his hand, but it was so that the group in front of them could not see. She was completely embarrassed. She was caught cheating on someone she was supposed to love so much. This was unsightly.
Rukia shivered again. She was nervous. Ichigo looked over to her and sighed. He knew how Rukia felt about private matters becoming public without her consent. Her dignity was at stake. Rukia looked up at him for a brief moment and he gave her a reassuring look. He was going to do all the talking, and make it right for her. Seeing her like this, having such a defeated look on her face, he'd rather be in hell.
"Hey guys," Ichigo said finally speaking up.
"Hey…" they all replied looking every where but at Ichigo and Rukia.
"Look, let's not play coy, we know what you saw, you know what you saw," Ichigo started and Rukia squeezed his hand tighter as she turned her focus to the floor.
Ichigo looked to Rukia with saddened eyes. "Don't give up Rukia, I'll make this ok," he thought as he turned back to his friends.
"Look guys-"
"Hey, it's cool," Shuhei started.
Rukia suddenly lifted he head quickly with a shocked look. Within seconds, she and Ichigo were eyeing their friends in disbelief. How is this cool?
Ikkaku noticed the confused looks on their faces and decided to explain. He sighed and looked at Ichigo straight in the eyes as he explained.
"Look, we already knew this was gonna happen," he started, "Its just we were surprised it was here and now. But the point is: this is something you two gotta figure out. It's already a fucked up situation. We're not gonna say anything to make the situation completely fucked up." He finished with a slight smile.
Ichigo let himself grin. Ikkaku was too good of a friend. Ever since the war they had been close friends, especially when he and Renji began drifting apart. Ikkaku always had his suspicious about the two of them, but he never pried. It must be hard for him; he is best friends with Ichigo and Renji.
The silent agreement between the men began making Matsumoto uncomfortable, she decided to get back to the reason they came to the human world. Not to mention have a "girl talk" with Rukia.
"WELL…….." she yelled loudly causing all the men and Rukia to jump, "Let's get this party started! Rukia lets get a couple of drinks!" she said smiling as she pulled her away from Ichigo's grip and took her to the bar.
Ichigo smiled as she saw Rukia's expression return to normal. Then he turned to the guys.
"Matsumoto made sense, and when that happens we should be drunk or insane. We need a drink fast so we have an excuse when it happens again," Ichigo said grinning.
They all nodded and smiled as they headed for an open table.
The girls grabbed a table near the back as did the guys; just enough space to keep an eye on each other, but not enough to be able to ease drop.
"Get something strong!" Shuhei yelled across the table as Ichigo got the waiters attention.
Ichigo nodded as the men eagerly awaited their drinks. Once the waiter arrived it took but a few moments before they had to order another round. After about two rounds the guys were all buzzed and feeling the music as the nodded their heads as the bass continued. Ikkaku and Shuhei began eyeing the women at the club. They dance very different from the women in Soul Society.
"How'd you get Rukia to move like that?!" Ikkaku yelled not even noticing the awkwardness of the question. Not that it mattered; Ichigo was too buzzed to notice.
"It didn't take long, she wanted to learn. Took one night!" he yelled back.
Meanwhile at the other table Matsumoto and Rukia were well past the guys in drinking, there were only two of them, more alcohol for them.
"So Rukia….." Matsumoto started.
"Yeah…" Rukia replied, she knew what Matsumoto was going to ask, she was too nosey not to.
"Does he know?"
"No."
"You gonna tell him?"
"Of course!"
"When?"
"Tonight."
"So that means-"
"Yes."
"And what about-"
"Yes, that too..."
"Wow…"
"Yeah, tell me about it."
It was amazing that they understood each other after all the drinks they had. But Rukia and her large breasted friend had talked a lot more in the past then anyone really knew. Matsumoto could keep a secret when she really wanted to. She alone knew things about Rukia and Ichigo that no one else did, not even Renji.
"Well, enough of that mushy stuff! Let's dance!" Matsumoto yelled in a cheerful drunken voice as she held out her free hand to Rukia and still clutching onto her drink with the other.
Rukia smiled and nodded as she accepted her hand, grabbed her drink, and moved to the dance floor. It didn't take them long to find a decent spot; it just had to be anywhere that a certain table of guys had a good view.
Another song came on that Rukia knew all too well. It was the song Ichigo had her practice on the first time they danced together. She was very prepared to tease him with her new curves and far too drunk to care who else saw.
She signaled to Matsumoto to follow her move as the chorus of the song came. Matsumoto smiled, she was going to get a lot more drinks with this song.
I like
it when she
Rock her hips then wave and sip
She rock her hips
then wave and sip
She rock her hips
She rock her hips
She
rock her hips then
Wave and sip
As
soon as the two curvy women started dancing, all eyes were on them.
Every single guy, and some taken ones, were watching two dead chicks
rock their hips, and then causally take sips from their drinks as the
song cued.
"How the hell do you keep up with these chicks!?" Ikkaku yelled, mesmerized by the way they were moving.
"Watch…" Ichigo said smiling as he coolly stood up and walked over to Rukia.
Rukia watched as Ichigo slowly approached her. Then she gave him that look. Suddenly she was stopped in her thoughts as she felt someone grab her waist and practically grope her.
Matsumoto was also being attacked by several men. Ikkaku and Ichigo's face dropped. They both quickly got up to get the guys off them. It wasn't that they couldn't handle themselves, but Ichigo and Ikkaku were drunk; and in a drunken man's eyes women are supposed to be protected.
"GET OFF ME!!!" Rukia yelled as she pushed a guy off her.
Though the two women got the Men off them, Ichigo and Ikkaku had to add their contribution. They knocked the two men out in one punch, causing the entire club to stare at the two men.
"What? You all want some?! We'll take all you BITCHES ON!!" Ikkaku yelled smiling wildly.
He was drunk; no he had to be insane. Kira, Yumichika, and Shuhei looked at their friend in disbelief. There had to be about 100 drunken guys in this club that were looking for a reason to fight. And this idiot just gave it to them.
Just as the men were going to stop their friend, something happened that shocked them all. Ichigo of all people walked next to Ikkaku.
"What's taking so long?! BUNCH OF DICKLESS BITCHES HERE IS IT?"
The music was switching songs when Ichigo spoke. Every man in the club heard him. Ichigo took his jacket off and threw it to Rukia as stares and scowls came from every angle of the club. Rukia and Matsumoto took a step back, a BIG step back. Ichigo and Ikkaku were about to get jumped, but with the way they were grinning who could tell.
"I like you drunk," Ikkaku smiled as the first group of men came charging at them.
Ichigo took the first three men down easy, and Ikkaku took the next too. And if on cue the next song playing, "What they gonna do" by Lil' John; The number one club fighting song.
For two drunken fools, they were kicking ass. Both men took down every man that came at them; that is until 6 guys came at BOTH of them at once.
Ikkaku looked at his six, then to Ichigo's six. They both made a confused look at each other.
"One at a time drunk, I can do all night, but this?" Ichigo said, sighing.
"So Rukia's turned you into a pansy ass bitch huh Ichigo?!"
"Fuck you!" Ichigo yelled back as the two were thrown onto the floor by 12 men.
Shuhei looked at the disapprovingly. "Shit, come one, we gotta help,"
"And mess up my-" Yumichika started but was cut off by Kira dragging him into the brawl.
The three men barged through the men around their two friends and threw guys away left and right. All 5 men were drunk and still beating the shit out of half the bar.
About 15 minutes of fighting had gone by and someone had finally called the police.
"What's that sound?!" Matsumoto yelled.
"SHIT! WE GOTTA GO! GUYS MOVE YOUR ASS!" Rukia yelled as she pulled Matsumoto out through the back door of the club.
Ichigo didn't understand at first until the sirens got louder, then the police smashed through the door. He immediately grabbed his friends and bolted out the door behind Rukia.
Being the center of the fight the police entered and followed Ichigo and the group out the back. They were going to be arrested!
Ichigo panicked as they were surrounded by the police. There was only one thing he could do. He knew he would hear it later, but it was either this or jail.
"Head for my apartment!" Ichigo yelled as he turned into a shinigami and took his body and jumped on top of a building.
The rest knew this was wrong in so many ways, but so was going to jail. They all turned into shinigami in front of the police who were currently looking dumbfounded at dead bodies flying to the top of a roof.
"What did you guys see?" the head officer asked.
"Not a damn thing." One officer responded. He wasn't going to be the one to write this up in a report.
All the officers nodded in agreement and returned to arrest some normal college students.
The movie ended and the credits began rolling. Ishida looked over to Inoue to get a response.
"Well? Did you like it?" he asked a little unsure of whether or not he wanted to hear the answer.
"It was ok. I just don't understand how she loved and admired one man her whole life and when she finally gets him, she goes to another man."
"Well, it's actually quite simple," Ishida started as he removed his glasses and set them on the table, "She was infatuated with a man she knew nothing about. A fantasy; it wasn't really love."
"Oh," she replied, "Then why did it take Linus to make her see it?"
"People say love is blind. I say that Lust and Infatuation is blind; and only true love can make you see again. Such is the case in this movie."
Inoue moved away slowly from Ishida. She started at him accusingly.
"Why did you pick this movie Uryuu?"
"What do you think?" he replied sweetly as he inched in slowly and touched Inoue's check.
She backed away and stood up.
"I think we should watch the next movie," she said.
The next thing Uryuu knew a man on TV was getting his legs, arm and head twisted in a way no human was meant to be twisted. He turned to get the remote to turn it off, but found that his body had some extra weight on it.
"Inoue…"
He must have fallen asleep somewhere in the beginning of the movie. And somewhere in the mix of people being dismembered Inoue had crawled over from her end of the sofa and joined him. He smiled to himself.
"So you do see…" he slowly rubbed the back of her head as she slept soundly on his lap.
His bliss was disturbed when he heard rattling and loudness at the door. Not wanting to be caught in an awkward position if it was Ichigo, he cautiously moved Inoue off of him. Luckily she didn't wake up.
The noise at the door was getting louder. It was obvious Ichigo was drunk and had forgotten how to open doors again. Ishida huffed as he walked to open the door.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ICHIGO!!!" Rukia yelled as she stormed into the door.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WHAT WAS THAT" YOU DID IT TOO!"
Ishida stood back in awe as 7 shinigami trailed into the apartment; all of them were drunk and their gigai were beat up. He watched as they continued to argue and returned to their "bodies".
"That was fun! And I don't know why you girls are all mad anyways. They way you were looking at us I thought I was getting some tonight!" Ikkaku said as he smiled at Matsumoto.
"So did I…" Ichigo mumbled.
Both men were met with a hand smashing into their heads. They cried out loud, making a lot of noise.
"WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS?" Ishida finally yelled.
"Oh, Ishida, so it was you that opened the door." Kira said taking the Quincy to the side, "It's a long story…"
Kira began telling the tale to Ishida who was staring at the lieutenant in amazement as Ichigo was still being harassed by Rukia.
"Well your stupidity is unrequited to say the least. What where you thinking fighting like that?!" Rukia asked.
"That guy touched something that belong to me, had to let him know hands off." He grinned.
Rukia blushed for the first time in public. Matsumoto smiled at her, and she turned away and tried to change the subject.
"Ahem, anyways, get your wounded ass up so I can help bandage you," she said with a blush still on her face.
Ichigo smiled and complied and followed Rukia to the kitchen to get the bandages.
"Come on baldly!" Matsumoto yelled as she grabbed the back of Ikkaku's bald head to drag him to the kitchen.
Things were starting to quiet down as the men were getting their "battle wounds" tended to. They all sat in Ichigo's room, some on the floor, and some on his bed.
Ichigo sat with Rukia on the floor by the window. Rukia did drink a lot, but she was not going to go near a bed with Ichigo while the other 5 were in the room.
"Rukia, how about we go to Ishida's bed then?" Ichigo whispered.
Rukia paused for a moment, and then hit Ichigo on his head again.
"I DO HAVE A HEADACHE!!" he yelled.
"That's why I hit you there!"
"Uh huh, and you also paused, honey. You never pause when your about to hit me. Bad Rukia, thinking of doing stuff with all these people over…" he said as he leaned in to kiss her.
Shocked by his awareness, even in his drunken state, she almost let him kiss her. But he was stopped by Rukia's hand covering his mouth. "You're drunk. You'll be lucky if you get anything form me tonight, just be happy we didn't get caught."
"I wouldn't go that far…" a man said coldly from behind them.
The room froze with fear. Every shinigami in the room knew that voice all too well.
Ichigo turned his head up to look at his window. There was Captain Kuchiki and Captain Hitsugaya entering the room.
"You all have broken Soul Society's ban on alcohol. You are all to return immediately to be reprimanded. Leave your gigai here." Hitsugaya said as he opened the portal to Soul Society on the wall.
Ichigo looked around and decided that was his cue to leave. He deliberately stepped toward the back of the line and attempted to leave the room.
"Where do you think you are going, Kozo?" Byakuya asked, as he eyed him coldly.
Ichigo frowned at his words and stopped in his tracks. He knew he was going to have to go. This was going to be a very long night/morning/hang over. He peaked out his room to yell to Ishida, who had been eavesdropping.
"Tell Orihime what happened, Ishida. I'll be back sometime tomorrow I guess." Ichigo said as he exited his body and left into the entrance to Soul Society followed by Byakuya.
"Right….Oh shit, Inoue!" Ishida yelled as he looked over to the sofa.
Inoue lay there, still fast asleep.
"That girl can sleep through anything," Ishida smiled and turned to where Ichigo had once stood. "Good luck Kurosaki, you'll need it."

WHEW!! My first song fic. I hope you guys liked it. Sorry, I know it was long, but I didn't want to split this up into two chapters. I hope it doesn't seam too OOC, but they are all drunk. And (sigh) they are gonna get in trouble!! Oh no! Don't worry, it won't be too bad. Thank you all for your song and movie suggestions!! Special thanks to Bella68. She gave me the idea for a movie that shows the same situation Inoue is in. I haven't seen Sense and Sensibility so I went with Sabrina. It's a good movie! Also, what do you guys think about Renji and Hinamori? He needs a new girl Friday, but I don't know if they should just stay friends, let me know! And yeah i know everyone was a little too cool about the "affair" but everyone just wanted to have fun, with no worries and they are all good friends, so i don't think its unbelievable. And last, don't forget……
