After hours dealing with the constant teasing and advice from Yoruichi and Ichigo's constant argue with Urahara, it was finally time for them to head home and as much as Orihime loved them all dearly she really missed home and wanted to check on her brother's shrine. Heading outside she bowed towards them as Ichigo came and stood next to her.
"Thank you Urahara-kun and Yoruichi for letting me stay the night I really appreciate it and don't be forget to come visit sometime" She smiled widley at them both as Yoruichi reached out to mess up her hair.
"No problem kiddo it was our pleasure to help out and we'll make sure to visit you and your brother sometime" she said while calling Ichigo alone for a quick chat
"Hey what's the deal?!" he yelled as Yoruichi kept smacking him upside the head, she paused for a second trying to remember "Oh yeah now I remember..ahem if you so much as chip this girls heart I will kick your ass and furthermore try to at least act like a normal boyfriend and gain more experience"
"No shit Sherlock!" he yelled angrily as she smirked walking away alongside Urahara leaving them both alone outside in the cool winter day.
"Let's get home shall we Hime" Blushing slightly he quickly took Orihime's hand in his looking away fast before scowling in concentration as he directed them both home.
Giggling lightly to herself she smiled at how hard he was trying to act calm and grumpy like normal but his face proved to be rather funny. Never the less she squeezed his hand in reassurance as his face relaxed and he even seemed a little bit more happier.
Arriving near Orihime's house Ichigo became reluctant to let her go. During the entire walk he listened to her funny stories about how the little blue men will take over the world while riding on a robot. He found it amazing how carefree she was and was patient with him. She even made up for his lack of conversation whenever he was tongue-tied. He wasn't use to just relaxing and hanging out even with Keigo, Mizuro or even Chad. Most conversations either led to a silly argument or were about his next battle so being with Orihime calmed him and these new experiences he could adjust to so long as she was still by his side.
"Umm..Ichigo we're here" he heard a soft voice bring him out of his thoughts as they both stopped near the steps of her house "Oh yeah? my bad Hime I was thinking...anyway are you alright now I mean after that night I'm not sure if you should be alone"
"Don't worry Ichigo I'm super strong did you know I'm part ninja" she laughed while showing her so called 'mega punch' He laughed while eyeing her window which was fixed but still had a little visible damage.
Watching as she opened the door she was tackled into a hug by an unsuspected Rangiku "waaah! Ragiku when did you get hear?" she muffled trying to break free of her busty friend but was finally able to breathe as Ichigo pulled Orihime towards him "Idiot! can't you see you're suffocating her" Ichigo yelled as she stuck her tongue out towards him before snatching Orihime in the house slamming the door in his face. "Sorry girl's night out" she yelled playfully as ichigo swore before yelling goodbye to Orihime. Rangiku squealed while sitting Orihime down before bringing out some popcorn "Now how was he hime?"
"Eh?" and it seemed as though the day got ten times longer.
Ichigo arrived home just as Yuzu was preparing lunch, feeling relieved that his father wasn't home he headed straight upstairs just to be on the safe side.
The room was cleaned by yuzu and kon was nowhere to be seen. Hopping on the bed he thought back to how many new things have been going on in one day, he basically has a girl who he likes... not his girlfriend yet but he's working on it slowly.
Sudenly he heard a knock on the window alerting him from his thoughts. Getting up he unlocked the door letting in a weak Rukia being held by a frustrated Renji. He grabbed Ichigo's collar and punched him forcefully onto the ground.
"The fucks your problem man?!" Ichigo yelled getting into a defensive stance
"No! What the hell is your problem not coming to help as multiple men were killed tonight because of your unawarenesss" Renji yelled coming in for another punch but was only stopped as Rukia held him back.
"Will you two please calm down so we can all figure what is going on better yet some medical assistance please?" both guys looked at each other reluctantly backing away to treat to Rukia' wound.
"Where are you hurt?" Ichigo asked laying out a spare futon as Renji went to get Isshin for help.
"Nothing serious just a small gash on the side...I would of healed it myself but unfortunately my enery was pretty used up after fighting so many hollows"
"Was it that bad out there?" Ichigo asked watching as her eyes drifted towards the window
"Hell yell it was didn't you feel the change in atmosphere" Renji scoffed walking past ichigo as his dad came in to inspect Rukia's wounds.
"Well its not that deep and not too much blood was lost...you were lucky now if you'd follow me downstairs I'll treat you" Isshin stated guiding Rukia downstairs leaving the two hot heads alone once more.
"So are you gonna tell me what happened?"
Taking a deep breath Renji began started discussing what occurred last night. It turns out their was a huge invasion on Kakura, multiple hollows began appearing and acting more stranger than usual. Usually their spiritual pressure would be so low that any soul reaper could kill them but last night every hollow that appeared began glowing a bright dark purple which multiplies their strength 10 fold. Along with that when one was killed another one appeared along with many others.
"At first we were okay and continued killing...but as their numbers increased so did their power. their spiritual pressure was suffocating but among them was a man who stood surrounded by those hollows absorbing the energy of those killed from their attacks...where the hell were you Ichigo?!" Renji said sighing as Ichigo Tried to process what happend.
" Are you sure they weren't just Arrancars?"
" I know what the fuck I seen Ichigo and it wasn't an Arrancar it was almost as if those hollows were possessed by an unknown power...most hollows fight to eat a powerful soul but these looked almost as if they were being forced to kill even if its not for a soul" Renji stated as the bedroom door opened revealing Rukia and Isshin
"So did you fill him in?" She asked heading over to ichigo's bed
" Of course how you holding up?" Renji asked looking at Rukia 'seems as though the bastard likes her afterall' Ichigo thought as he watched Rukia blush and shoo him away saying he shouldn't be worried of stuff like this.
"Anyway we should be going we need to report this to the captain as soon as possible in order to send out an investigation on the matter" Rukia stated hooking on her zanpakto and heading for the window
"By the way good luck with your girlfriend tell her I said hi bye bye" she smirked hopping out the window alongside Renji "Later dude"
Ichigo blushed red 'How the hell did she know...' Suddenly Isshin was laughing behind him and soon Ichigo became even more close to realizing how Rukia knew
" I hate you so much"
"What? She only asked me where you were and I said 'he was spending the night with his girlfriend Orihime' well thats what Urahara told me and I must say I didnt think you had the old Kurosaki charm but I am impressed and she has such a nice bod..." Isshin was silenced as Ichigo punched his face kicking him outside. "Oww!"
"Stop jumping to conclusions you idiots" Ichigo yelled blushing slamming his door shut as he tried once again to process this major turn in his life but more importantly the new dangers that are arriving quickly.
