It had been four days since Orihime started living with the Kurosakis and she started to realize how different Ichigo when he was with his family. He was not a rough and idiot muscled guy like what she had thought. Oh how wrong she was. Ichigo was nothing like what the media said. He was actually a good brother, she loved how he joked and teased or getting teased by his sisters and Orihime could see that he was really close with his mother (and father though the father-son relationship in Kurosaki household is kind of complicated thanks to Isshin Kurosaki and his antics). Those people would never know what they had missed. Just like, how they missed the chance to see his genuine smile... Oh the Ichigo Kurosaki people know always had his own charm, but the real Ichigo Kurosaki was someone different. Orihime knew some people would get disappointed knowing that the real Ichigo wasn't as badass as what they had expected but she liked him better that way. Wait, did she say she like him?

The first time she realized it was after dinner on the third night. They were sitting on the sofa, watching some comedy on the TV and he laughed. He wasn't laughed at the lame joke the comedian made but at something his sister had said about the comedian. That was the first time she realized that he looked so much different that what she had seen on TV or newspaper. She decided that he liked to see him like this. She didn't dare to say it out loud but he was much more handsome when he laughed like that. She knew this kind of face was private. He wouldn't show this side of him just to everyone.

So he wasn't an idiot, was he?

Orihime sighed. It seemed like all the plan she had in mind had been ruined. First of all, she shouldn't have gotten married with him... Now her perfect plan wasn't perfect anymore. Of maybe it had never been perfect at all... Of course she should have known that being reckless like this was not her forte.

"Orihime nee-chan? Are you listening?"

Orihime blinked and turned to looked at Yuzu, one of the twins, who was sitting on the carpeted floor looking at her with a worried look. The older woman smiled and apologized because she didn't listen to her.

Yuzu smiled, she didn't seem to be offended or upset because her new sister-in-law didn't listen to her, "I was asking if you would go shopping with me and Karin tomorrow, you are free right?"

Orihime almost said yes until she realized that she couldn't decided it that easily. She turned to her husband and tilted her head to the right, "is it OK if I go shopping with them, Ichigo-kun?"

Ichigo's eyes were still on the television, "hnn, sure, just don't get too excited or tire yourself out. You can use my card to buy clothes."

"You won't join us?" Karin asked, "Well, maybe you want to drive us to the mall?"

Ichigo frowned, he shook his head, "nope, sorry. I have work to do tomorrow."

"Work?" Orihime looked at Ichigo curiously. The J-league hadn't been started yet and he did tell them that he had taken days off, "I thought you were free?"

If Ichigo were nervous, Orihime couldn't see it at all. The carrot top grunted, still focused on the television, "well, there is some important work. A meeting. I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow."

Orihime furrowed her brows but said nothing.

.

Ichigo Kurosaki felt bad lying to his family, not to mention to his wife. True she wasn't really his wife but still... Technically, they were married and he was grown up being taught by his parents that the base of marriage is trust. Fake or not, a marriage is still a marriage, he knew very well that he shouldn't have done this to her but he had no choice. Ichigo had been lying to her.

Well, it wasn't like I am going to cheat on her or something, he thought as he drove his expensive car, scowling as if disgusted by the idea of being a cheater.

Ichigo curse loudly. He knew that Uryuu hated him but still they were friends, weren't they? Why couldn't he do something about this? Uryuu was a really smart man, he should have at least known how to lie, or making an excuse.

"Shit!" Ichigo cursed. He had a feeling that today's meeting would be hell.

First of all, he felt bad after lying to Orihime. It wasn't like he preferred to drive back to Tokyo to meet one of the scariest woman he had ever known rather than spending sometime shopping with his beautiful wife... Well, he had never admitted but lately he found that Orihime had been even prettier since she got pregnant. He let out a deep sigh. No, he shouldn't feel that way, they were not really married. It was just about time before they had to end their contract. Until then, he had to control himself not to fall for her.

.

"Nee-san, tell me, how do you fall in love with Onii-san?"

It was Yuzu, of course. The three of them was having lunch in a cafe in the shopping district. Orihime had never known that shopping could be so fun with the twins. They talked about many things while eating their lunch, about her work, their school and family. It was so fun until Yuzu started asking details of her relationship with Ichigo.

Orihime smiled nervously, "well, it just happened..."

She was not a good liar so she hoped that Yuzu would just stop there, but of couse the cheerful girl was not satisfied with the answer. She wanted to know about the detail. She had seen his brother with many women before but never had he dated a girl like Orihime Inoue. Of course she admitted that Orihime was really beautiful, even more than those stupid girls Ichigo had ever been going out with before, but she was not like the kind of girl Ichigo would ever date before. First of all, she didn't look as young as those girl. It was not a secret that Ichigo only ever dated younger girls before, and by younger means a girl who was barely even legal. Actually Yuzu was really happy because in the end her brother chose someone like Orihime to be his wife, but there must be a story behind their marriage, right?

"Oh, come on, tell me how did you meet him, and how he proposed you? I mean, Ichigo had never mentioned about you before so I wonder since when did he date you." Yuzu placed her hand on top of Orihime's and smiled, "please tell me, Onee-chan?"

Now Orihime knew why Ichigo had always spoiled his little sisters. With the way they begged, there was no way to refuse it. Knowing that she had lost, Orihime sighed. She couldn't lie but if she just altered the story a little, it would be okay, wouldn't it?

"Well," Orihime smiled awkwardly, she blushed when she remembered about the first night she met him, "I met him on his birthday party, his friend introduce us."

Well, she had been the birthday present, but of course she couldn't say it. Yuzu and Karin listened to her story excitedly. Eager to hear what happened next.

"At first I thought he was rude, but then I changed my mind. He was actually nice. I couldn't stopped to think about him," this was the truth, she was just skipping some details, "I thought he was the perfect man for me," that before I know that he is not actually stupid, she added mentally, "then well, when he knew I got pregnant, he asked me to get married. So that's it." Orihime ended her story with red face. She hoped that the twin had been satisfied with her story and wouldn't ask for more details.

"He must be serious about you," Karin said, "to think that he would finally get married and soon would be a father... Just, wow!"

Orihime smiled faintly, she looked at her plate and bit her lower lip, "but you know, there is a chance that he was only marrying me because I got pregnant. I mean, I am glad that he was a responsible man but..."

"No, no, no, you're wrong!" Yuzu laughed cheerfully, she shook her hair and smiled, "it is not my place to say this but, well, I understand if you feel insecure about Nii-chan's feeling for you, after all you both got married after found out about the baby but, believe me, even though Nii-chan married you because he was being responsible, that was not the only reason. Really, I say this because I know my Nii-chan!"

Karin nodded and smiled, "I am with Yuzu. You don't have to worry about Nii-chan. He is not good with words but believe me, he really really likes you."

.

"So you really really like her."

That was not a question and that was the first think Uryuu said to the orange headed man when he saw him entered the room. Ichigo groaned while sat down. He looked around the room and found out that there were only Uryuu and Renji this time. He scowled.

"Where's the other?" Ichigo asked and then he shook his head tiredly, "And I don't know what are you talking about."

"He's talking about your sexy wife," Renji whistled, he grinned wolfishly from the mini bar, ignoring Ichigo's glare, "and I agree with Uryuu, you must be crazy about her. You married her! YOU! Ahaha, I couldn't believe this..."

"She is pregnant, idiot," Ichigo gritted his teeth, he didn't drive for hours only to talk about this, "I have to take responsibility, that is my baby."

"You seemed so sure," the black haired man lifted his brow, "how if..."

Ichigo's ears turned red, he swore if he let Uryuu continue whatever he planned to say, he might break one or two of his bones. Really, he didn't want to hear it. So Ichigo cut him in quickly, "BY THE WAY, I thought you called me for an important matter. If this were all you want to say, I'm going back, NOW."

Renji laughed, "your marriage is also an important matter."

"Really, I would go back now." Ichigo was serious.

"Hey, don't be so serious," the red haired tattooed man smirked, "That woman would skin you alive if you just go back without seeing her first."

That woman.

Now he remembered why he was here.

Ichigo gulped, "so, where is she?"

"She said that she would wait for you in the usual place, VIP room, ofcourse. Seven O'clock." Uryuu looked at his watch, "which mean you have half an hour."

"You guys would be there with me, aren't you?" Ichigo really really had a bad feeling about this.

Uryuu shook his head firmly, "No, it was clear that she wanted to talk to YOU."

Renji sighed, for the first time he didn't smile, "even if I want to, she wouldn't be happy if she saw me with you. Sorry dude, you gotta face her alone."

Ichigo groaned and palmed his face. Good. No moral support at all. What a great friendship they had there.

"One friendly advice from me, you better not make her angrier than she already is. Don't say anything stupid." Uryuu paused for a moment before added seriously, "we would pray for you."

"Good luck," Renji added, "you need it."

Shihouin family had not only some chain of famous hotels and restaurant but also owned the biggest soccer club in Japan. The club where Ichigo Kurosaki had started his carrier in soccer until now.

The first time they met, Yoruichi knew right away that this boy would be a big star. He had talent, his husband was also always told her that Ichigo Kurosaki was one of the best soccer player in Japan. Since the first time she saw him, she had always been interested in the orange haired guy. She knew that he was the right man.

Yoruichi looked at the empty glass in front of her and frowned.

So far, everything had gone exactly the way she wanted it but then when she came back to Japan to execute her plan, suddenly she heard that he got married. It ruined all of his perfect plan. Everything she had planned!

How could that bastard!

Yoruichi shook her head to clear her mind and took a deep breath.

Relax. No need to worry. Everything would just go like what she had planned. Right?

Well a marriage wasn't somehing that couldn't be broken. She had a plan, and everything would just go according to her plan.

There are still some way to log in though since it seemed the new regulation has many loopholes but it is still uncomfortable for me. So what I do now to update my fic is: i email my brother who lived in Japan with the chapters and he would upload it for me. SOOOO INCONVINIENT!

Oh by the way the mobile site is not affected though, I can online from the mobile to read fanfic, but you know how hard it is to upload new story or chapter from mobile phone. However, I would still keep updating.

Cherios!
