A/N: All right... So, I was reading through the story, and I saw nothing that warranted this being taken down and deleted. But this got taken down because of obscenities in the summary, right? I was cool with that reasoning, until I read through some other summaries of some other fics. You wouldn't believe the number of summaries I found that had swear words in them, Bleach fics and others. So, why was mine taken down a while ago? Idk. Maybe others were taken down as well, but this honestly just leads me to believe that, for some reason, someone reported my story. If that's true, it kinda sucks. I just want to know why. Everyone seemed to be enjoying it, I was having a blast writing it, and it helped me develop some new writing techniques.

Anyway, if you took the time to read this, I'm sorry for the rant, haha! Happy holidays! :)

Chapter Twenty One: Woot-Sama

.

Opening a door with a slight grunt, Orihime let it close behind her as she walked into the room with a smile, her sandals 'squishing' on the tiled floor. She was at the Karakura Inn tonight. See, a few students in her grade had decided that they were bored and that they should just go swimming until morning came. Of course, they couldn't go to the beach during their winter break, so they decided on indoor swimming and jacuzzis. When Tatsuki told her they were invited, she agreed right on the spot. Being bored was a good enough reason to go swimming for her.

Setting her bag on a table, Orihime sat down while she waited for Tatsuki. She frowned when she noticed that the main people who wanted this weren't even there yet.

"Ichigo, you idiot!"

Her ears perked up a bit at this and she jumped at the sound of a splash. She turned her head to the other end of the room to find Rukia laying on the tiled floor with a large jacket over her as a blanket. 'Oh, Kuchiki-san's here.' She thought to herself and her smile grew when Ichigo rose to the top of the water.

"Rukia, come in the pool." He said as he floated in the water.

Said girl only shook her head, crossing her arms and hiding her face in them as he swam up to her. "No, it's cold."

When he reached her, he crossed his arms and rested them on the tiled floor to balance himself. "It's an indoor pool, dummy." He said as-a-matter-of-factly, a smirk forming on his face as she lifted her face up to glare at him. "What, you're not going to warm me up?"

"No."

Orihime smiled at her blunt answer. The two really were an amusing couple, even though they would never agree to being one.

As Ichigo swam away with a grin, she narrowed her eyes. Never had she seen Ichigo so happy than when he was with her. When she'd first met him, all he did was scowl. Frown. All he did was get angry. But, ever since Rukia came into his life, every other emotion was able to be seen. He smiled and laughed when he was with her. He was a shameless flirt when he was around her. When she was gone, he would try to hide it, but you could tell he was sad.

She'd warmed him up and made him soft.

It was like they were in love. Now, Orihime knew it was too early in their relationship for them to be in love, but she could see it. She could definitely see it.

Ichigo swam back up to Rukia, crossing his arms and balancing himself on the tiled ground as he did before. "Rukia, come into the water." He pleaded again as he looked her in the eyes.

She rolled her eyes as she raised her arm up to rest her chin in her palm, her elbow on the ground. "Why?"

A smile crept up to his face from the look she gave him. His only response was to lean in closer to place his face in the crook of her neck, intertwining their fingers with one hand. As he gently nuzzled her neck, she let her eyes close and relaxed into his hold.

"I missed you, Rukia." Orihime heard him say into Rukia's neck as she struggled not to break out into fangirl mode. Her eyes suddenly grew bigger as she realized something.

She had her camera.

"Hn, I missed you, too." She replied quietly in a shy voice while opening her eyes when she felt Ichigo move. In a swift motion, he gently grabbed her chin and brought her in for a deep, slow kiss.

"Ah, woooooooot!" Orihime finally screamed out when she just couldn't take it any longer.

Breaking the kiss, Rukia looked over to a panting Orihime with wide eyes. "Orihime?"

Ichigo's left eye twitched. "You're woot-sama?"

- End of Flashback -

At the edge of a pool, Rukia laid on the tiled floor with a large jacket over her like a blanket. In front of her, Ichigo crossed his arms and balance himself on the ground, his legs in the water. A soft smile graced his face at the wide-eyed look she gave as she pointed at the camera. The caption of the picture read, "CAN I GET A 'WOOT WOOT'?!"

ORIHIME is woot-sama?

As Orihime read through the comments, a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes before she scrolled back up to the picture. She sighed at the smile Ichigo gave Rukia, the soft look in his eyes was absolutely adorable.

Yup, she could definitely see those two falling in love. Her smile grew as she scrolled back up to leave a comment.

'WOOOOOOOOT!'
