Hot Springs Week Day 3
Jinta looked out the window, noticing a hint of orange that peeked through the horizon in the night sky. He looked at his phone displaying the time, 6:40 am. He had been up an hour earlier for his daily workout regiment, push-ups, crunches, and chin-ups with his portable bar. After a quick shower, he wore red shorts and a black tank, as he slicked his head back using a black sweatband to hold his hair in place. Leaving his room to start heading out to the designated beach spot, walking outside as he followed the path.
"Jinta!" He heard a deep familiar voice as he turned to see Toshiro walking out of the castle and heading in his direction. The red haired man looked at him curiously with a raised brow, "Huh?" He asked the white haired man as he came closer.
"If you're headed to the beach, I'd like to follow you. It's basically my first time here and I'm not sure of my way around." He asked in his calm tone, as Jinta sucked his teeth and turned in the direction of the path.
"Keep up then," the redhead said annoyed as he walked with both hands in his pockets. Toshiro followed him with no complaints, as they walked in silence. Jinta looked from the corner of his eye as he stared at the man beside him. He was keeping up no problem, probably due to the fact that he was an athlete himself. A part of him didn't want to say it was the fact that Toshiro was a few inches taller than him, but he took pride that he had more muscle definition and tone. Toshiro wore baby blue shorts with a plain white tank, as he looked around reading the signs they passed along the way.
"So you arrived here on the island with everyone else?" Toshiro asked Jinta who was silent for a moment before he answered.
"No, I arrived yesterday morning, right after I finished my fight," Jinta said, face still looking in front as he walked.
"I know a little about Zanpaktous, Karin mentioned that you are an MMA fighter there." The white haired man acknowledged. Jinta turned a little, eyeing him curiously as he turned forward again.
"Yeah! Know anything about Mixed martial art fighting?" The redhead asked.
"I know enough. My parent's enrolled me in kendo and karate at an early age, it's just become a hobby. I mostly meditate and train once in awhile. With having a strict coach, practice takes most of my time, then my college courses."
"Hmmm.. Sort of know what you mean, having a training schedule myself to strengthen and condition my body with each fight. I also took some college courses as I fought, mostly on learning the Human Anatomy, Physiology and Sports Psychology. Renji says I should have those courses to help me train better and at least have a backup as an athletic trainer." Jinta said as he gathered saliva from his mouth and spat on the ground.
"Everyone is quite the character, especially Isshin Kurosaki," Toshiro said with a small smirk. "Karin mentioned that her father was a handful."
"Handful? I guess that's a nice way of putting it." The redhead scoffed.
"How would you describe him?"
"A big pain in the ass," Jinta growled out as the white-haired man beside him coughed and nervously scratched the back of his head.
"Isn't that just being disrespectful, especially to your girlfriend's father." Toshiro criticized in a low voice. All Jinta could do was stop and laugh as the white haired man stopped as well, to look curiously at the man's amusement. After he was done laughing he turned to look at him, with a serious look on his face, all amusement gone.
"You got some nerve talking about being disrespectful," the redhead said pointing his index finger sternly at him before he continued, " Do you think Isshin would find it respectful that you taught his daughter how to sword swallow?" Jinta grinned at Toshiro's shocked expression that changed instantly to anger, his eyes fixed on him.
"Yuzu told you?" Toshiro asked him as the redhead nodded as he chuckled.
"I wonder what Ichigo would think if he knew you had his sister's pink taco for lunch?"
"Oi!" They both heard the familiar voice yelling from a distance, as both men turned with wide-eyed expressions and saw the orange haired man.
"Well, speak of the devil." Jinta waved at Ichigo who was still some distance. "Oi Ichigo! You eat taco's for lunch?" Jinta shouted as Toshiro aggressively pushed him in anger, as the redhead laughed.
"Jinta!" He growled out.
"Calm down! Don't get your panties in a bunch."
"What was that?" Ichigo yelled out as he came closer. The orange haired man wore black swim shorts with a white skull design on one thigh and a white tank shirt.
Jinta smiled at Toshiro, who felt some sort of relief but was still annoyed by this obnoxious man in front of him. "See! He didn't really hear," he whispered then turned to Ichigo as he came beside him towering over the both of them, he was inches taller than Toshiro which aggravated him since he was the shortest in this trio.
"I said, Do you think they'll have any nachos?" Jinta asked Ichigo who looked at him with his brow furrowed.
"Nachos?" He continued to look at Jinta suspiciously as the younger man nodded waiting for his answer. Ichigo looked at Toshiro who glanced at him and then glanced away, his body language showed he was irritable. "I guess. Anyways, Did you happen to recently see Orihime pass by here?"
Both nodded 'no', as Ichigo inhaled and exhaled out, shaking his head when he was done. Ichigo noticed the look of confusion on Jinta's face. "You lost her?"
"No... She went ahead as I was getting ready. I just thought she recently passed through here. So you both heading to the beach?" He asked them as they both nodded, the orange haired man looked at both of them as if to say 'ok then move.' They both took the hint and started walking as Ichigo tagged behind.
"What the hell were you both standing here for?" He asked them.
"I told you Nachos," Jinta answered.
"Really? So why did he push you?" Ichigo asked the redhead who grinned.
"Oh! Toshiro likes nachos but hates it with salsa. Says he can't stand hot shit. I think he has a sweet-tooth." When Jinta was done, Toshiro glared at him as Ichigo looked at Jinta.
"Sweet tooth?" Ichigo asked curiously.
"Yeah talking about he eats sweet nachos topped with peaches and sugar. Never heard of it." Jinta shrugged his shoulders, Toshiro who eyed Jinta sternly but stopped once he saw that Ichigo was watching him.
"It's Dessert Nachos, you can top ice cream or fruits with chocolate syrup also," Toshiro said under his breath. Ichigo looked at the both of them with an odd look as he shook his head.
"Well it's good that I'm alone with the both of you," he said as both men looked to him with curiosity. "Just to have a chat."
"That sounds like fun," Jinta said sarcastically.
"With none of your damn remarks, Jinta," Ichigo said raising his voice, causing the redhead to suck his teeth.
"There goes my charm," Jinta added as Ichigo rubbed the back of his head in aggravation as he calmed down.
"Look! I promised my sisters I'd give you both the benefit of the doubt. Especially you Jinta."
"Why me?" the redhead asked with a scowl directed at Ichigo.
"You seriously asking me that? Whatever, just shut the hell up for a moment." Ichigo said as Jinta rolled his eyes clamping his mouth shut as he looked forward. Satisfied, Ichigo continued to talk, "Like I said, I'm giving you guys a chance and just warning you that if anyone of you hurt them," he held onto both men's shoulder as they stopped "I'll make sure you regret it." He gave a warning his hands gripping both shoulders, one, in particular, he squeezed harder.
"Fuck, Ichigo! Why did you intentionally squeeze my shoulder harder than his, I get it you don't have to emphasize it." Jinta said nursing his shoulder, giving the orange haired man a look.
"It's because you're with Yuzu." Ichigo finally answered. "Plus, your rough personality irks me."
"I get that a lot about me being rough and blunt with others. What do you mean because I'm with Yuzu."
"It's simple If Karin were to be treated badly by a guy She's the type to cut off their balls and hand it to them. Granted I'd still hurt them after that," Ichigo said nonchalantly as Toshiro swallowed nervously feeling a little uncomfortable. "Now Yuzu is too damn kind, and if I ever see her hurt and crying because you hurt her, me squeezing your arm is the least of your problems." He looked hard at Jinta as the redhead grinned.
"Sora give you the same shit you're telling us?" Jinta asked, causing Ichigo's eye to twitch. "I'm surprised Sora let you date his sister, Next to you, you make me look like a choir boy."
Ichigo grabbed Jinta's shirt and shoved the redhead against the tree, as Toshiro looked on with surprise. Jinta felt the wind knocked out of him for a second before he composed himself and stared at the man who held him with a fierce gaze.
"I told you Jinta to shut your damn mouth," Ichigo growled out. Jinta unafraid stood up closing the distance between Ichigo coming face to face with him.
"I won't shut my fucking mouth, it pisses me off how you and your dad try to judge me. Let me tell you something, I'd do anything for Yuzu. She's the only other person besides my grandmother, Renji, Rukia, Orihime, Karin, and Tatsuki who gives a shit about me. I'd give more than my right arm to never see her hurt, so fuck off." He pushed Ichigo aside, escaping from his tight grip as he began to walk heatedly away.
Ichigo was too stunned to speak as he watched the redhead walk away from him angrily. He looked around as he noticed Toshiro still standing there watching the scene transpire, just observing.
"Come on Toshiro, let's get to the beach," Ichigo growled out, as the white haired man nodded.
Renji watched his beautiful fiance thank the servants, who set the tables spread with foods on the beach. They had also set up two huge white canopies one that housed food and a small bar in the middle. As the other held tables and chairs, with fresh towels assorted in the middle. Jushiro, Isshin, and Shunsui wasted no time in sitting by the bar, as they talked amongst each other, Isshin being the loudest.
At the moment, they seemed to be the only ones there as he continued to watch her give orders with a smile. She wore a lilac bikini top with a matching sarong that held around her waist, reaching down to her knees. He laid back on the beach lounge chair looking at how sexy his fiancé looked, especially with the slit that showed skin on the side of her leg.
Rukia looked around satisfied with the preparations, Renji and her had been here since 6:00 am in the morning, she wanted to see how everything came together. She also didn't mind wanting to watch the sunrise with her fiancé. Turning to take a look at him, as his eyes looked at her with a heated gaze, she smiled feeling like his stare was more like hands wrapped around her. His black tank shirt matched the tattoos on his body as he wore black shorts with red flames. He caused flames all right with his sex appeal as she decided to walk and sit beside him.
"What are you staring at sexy?" Rukia grinned.
"You sexy," he said giving her a slow kiss as they gently pulled away, to stare at each other and smile.
"Rukia!" They both heard the call of the sweet auburn haired girl. Rukia looked to see her waving, walking with the Kurosaki twins. Orihime wore a pink sheer sarong that wrapped around her neck and flowed down to her knees, you can sort of make out the bikini she wore but the sarong hid it so well. Karin wore a black and baby blue bikini top with black mini shorts. Yuzu wore a cream colored one piece that had open diamond shaped holes on the sides, with white mini shorts. The three waved at the couple who were seated together.
"Wow, Rukia this is amazing," Yuzu looked around at the tables that each had white table covers that held navy blue bowls, holding white roses with shells surrounding the centerpieces.
"You look absolutely beautiful Rukia," Orihime beamed, causing the petite girl to blush.
"Why thank you Orihime, but what about you guys. So Adorable." Rukia told the younger girls, Orihime and Yuzu giggled and blushed. " Look at how sexy Karin has gotten, where the heck did these come from?" Rukia pointed at her chest causing the girl to turn a different shade as she sat down, grabbing a towel to cover up.
"There's no need to cover up Karin, I'm just shocked at how time flies and now you've grown into a woman, you too Yuzu." Rukia eyed the blonde headed twin watching her smile widen.
"Also hello Renji, you look very handsome... I mean nice," Orihime smirked timidly as Renji got up to greet the girls with a smile. She never saw him without his hair tied back, this time he had his hair loose.
"Nah, you were correct the first time," he chuckled seeing the auburn haired girl start to blush and stare. She noticed that she lingered too long as she bowed in apology, " I..I'm sorry I..I've never seen you with your hair loose," she nervously said.
"Don't apologize Orihime, not only is he handsome but extremely sexy with it down," Rukia purred touching his red hair. Orihime completely red at that point could only stand there speechless.
"So where's Ichigo?" Rukia continued to smile at making the young girl nervous.
"Oh... umm he overslept and I decided to head out with the girls as he got ready." She explained feeling a lot more comfortable with the change in conversation. Renji looked past Orihime and the Kurosaki twins to see Grimmjow running out from the path, then quickly changing his speed to a slow jog in their direction. He watched with a confused face, catching the girls attention.
"What is it Renji?" Orihime asked as she turned to follow his line of sight.
"What the hell you running like a damn fool for?" Renji asked Grimmjow who was semi out of breath. As he reached into a nearby cooler, grabbing a water bottle drinking half the bottle and using the rest over his head.
"Fuck that's cold!" He yelled out, shaking off the water as the girls yelled, receiving the blunt of the sprays of water in their direction.
"Of course it's cold dumbass, would you mind shaking it off somewhere else, you got some on me," Renji chastised Grimmjow who grinned as he tossed the bottle into a waste can. He wore a light gray T-shirt that recently was stained with water, that matched his stormed gray shorts with splashes of icy blue designs of claw marks.
"My bad just needed to cool off from running," he spoke no longer out of breath.
"Like I said what for?" Running fast like an idiot."
"Where's Nel?" Karin asked.
Grimmjow grinned, "She should be here any moment."
They looked to see the green haired beauty arrive, briskly running towards them, as she got closer she began to walk trying to catch her breath.
Grimmjow turned to watch her inhale and exhale when she noticed his presence with an upset expression. She wore a white towel dress that covered like a halter top to her chest down to her thighs. It covered the bathing suit she wore underneath, peeking through was a hunter green strap that ran along her left shoulder.
"Were you guys racing?" Orihime asked excited as she watched her friend's breathing become less erratic, as she nodded.
"I guess you can call it that," her blue haired boyfriend said, his tone sounding unimpressed. Nel looked at him as she crossed her arms to glare. "Not my fault your slow ass couldn't keep up, getting better, though," he smiled as he walked closer for a kiss as she pushed him away. She headed for the cooler to grab a bottle of water, placing the cold refreshment to her head and neck, as she moaned.
"Oh god does that feel so good!"
Grimmjow came behind her wrapping his arms around her waist, then he felt her elbow hit his gut.
"Get off Grimmy!" She said upset as her boyfriend began to chuckle. She ignored him as she said her hellos and sat on a nearby beach lounge chair.
"Nel-chan!" They heard Shunsui yell as he waved with his usual relaxed smile.
"Yuzu-chan, Karin-chan, Orihime-chan! My beautiful daughters!" Isshin yelled waving vigorously, as the girls waved back. Both fathers satisfied at being acknowledged went back to drinking. Jushiro looked at Nel's direction and the others and waved, when his eyes met Grimmjow he smiled and waved, only to receive a hesitant wave as the blue haired man sat down.
"As we wait for the others, you guys are more than welcome to eat from the food spread and drinks at the bar." Rukia encouraged as a proud hostess.
Grimmjow looked at the bar seeing the older men enjoy themselves as they laughed hysterically. Nel noticed Grimmjow's line of sight as she smiled, "Well Grimmy, don't you want to drink?"
"Oh, Thanks, Nel! Wasn't in the mood to deal with those three, but if your pretty behind is getting me a drink, then I'll have a rum and ice with lime." He patted her leg, as she looked at him with a confused expression as she giggled.
"Awww! That's so cute Grimmy, thinking I was going to serve you a drink." She said grabbing his chin as he moved his head away from her grasp.
"That's why we have staff Grimmjow," Renji beckoned for the bartender, as the girl smiled.
"How may I be of service, Mr. Abarai?" The pretty brunette smiled as she bowed.
"Just wanting an order of drinks, I'll have Vodka and Cranberry," Renji said, then motioning to Grimmjow. The bartender smiled with a hint of red tint on her cheeks as she waited for him to order.
"Rum and ice with lime." She nodded as she turned to Nel who shook her head,"No thank you." The bartender looked to the others who also shook their heads 'no'. "I'll be right back." Just as she said the words, just a few moments later she returned with the drinks handing them with a smile and a bow. "It's been a pleasure serving, Enjoy." She said as she returned to the bar, as the trio welcomed her back.
"You know Grimmy, I wouldn't mind you saying that to me," Nel said arrogantly.
"What? Serving my dick so you can enjoy." He bluntly said as Renji spat out his drink luckily the red liquid was not in anyone's crosshairs, only staining the white sands. The redhead whipped his mouth as he started to laugh.
"You funny prick," he said shaking his head drinking from his cup again, hopefully, this time the contents remained in his mouth.
"I guess we missed something funny," Sora said walking to join the group with Retsu as his side.
"Sora and Retsu," Orihime smiled giving them both a hug and kiss. Sora wore navy blue swim trunks with a white linen shirt as Retsu wore a white linen dress with a dark blue bathing suit peeking through the sheer material.
"It wasn't really funny," Nel voiced her opinion as she waved to the couple, she felt the stares from her boyfriend who looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"I don't know about that, Renji thought it was pretty funny," he said continuing to stare.
"That's because they both have the same crude sense of humor," Sora said.
"Sora you're not even funny talking about a sense of humor," Grimmjow shook his head, drinking from his cup.
"My brother is funny," Orihime defended, giving the blue haired man a defiant look that only made Renji and Grimmjow laugh.
"Oh, if Orihime says he's funny, then I'm wrong. Tell me princess does he dress up like a clown and put on puppet shows?" Grimmjow said sarcastically as Orihime looked at him in shock.
" Grimmjow how did you know he dressed up, but not as a clown though more like a knight. He never performed puppet shows but that would have been nice." Orihime giggled just thinking about it as Grimmjow laughed along with Renji.
Sora felt embarrassed as he spoke,"Orihime Ummm I don't think they needed to know that." Her brother told her as she glanced at him who seemed embarrassed being laughed at by his friends.
"Why not Sora? I think it's charming you made time for Orihime as her playful brother," Retsu said as she wrapped her arms around Sora's neck and whispered in his ear, " Picturing you dressed up as a knight is making me extremely hot and it's not from the sun." Retsu made the man in front of her turn red as she kissed his lips and smiled.
"Nothing wrong with a brother trying to make his sister smile, whenever I was sick or feeling sad. Ichigo used to make Kon-kun cheer me up by giving him a voice." Yuzu said proudly.
"Kon-kun?" Renji half amused and half curious asked.
"It was Ichigo's old stuffed lion plush he gave to me." Yuzu smiled.
"My bad it wasn't Sora who did the puppet show but fucking berry boy." Grimmjow chuckled.
"Stop mocking what a brother does for his sister. I have you know Nii-sama dressed as Wakame Ambassador for my birthdays as I was dressed up as Chappy." Rukia said with wonderment in her eyes, reminiscing about that day.
"Byakuya Kuchiki? Get the fuck out, is this true Renji?" Grimmjow asked with a huge grin as Renji nodded agreeing with his fiance.
"Yep, I rather not talk about it," Renji said looking elsewhere.
"That's because Renji failed to mention that one of those birthdays I was unable to attend one. Renji was gracious enough to wear the suit for me," Byakuya came amongst the group out of nowhere, frightening Renji in the process. The stoic man wore a white dress shirt over a white tank and blue swim shorts.
"It must have been my 14th birthday, Wakame Ambassador seemed to have no personality whatsoever," Rukia said thinking about it as she rubbed her chin.
"Please forgive me Rukia, that you had to endure that poor display of Wakame," Byakuya said in a cool and collected tone, as Renji eyes began to twitch.
"I had no personality? Byakuya just stood there, while I made him fun." Renji yelled out, glaring at his fiance.
"Wakame Ambassador is poised, collected, and embodies strength. He is not to be performed like a clown." Byakuya said.
"Now Renji dressed up like a clown." Grimmjow joked.
"Grimmjow you shut your damn mouth," Renji growled out.
"That's because he is a clown," Shuuhei said as he walked just in time, joining the bunch with Rangiku, Tatsuki, and Ulquiorra tagging along.
Shuuhei wore a black tank shirt and black swimming trunks as Rangiku wore a white string bikini that barely covered her huge breasts. She wore a very sheer white sarong showing a white string bikini bottom that barely had enough material to cover between her thighs.
" I wouldn't talk Shuuhei, you're the embodiment of a damn clown," Renji yelled at him, as the spiky haired man grinned.
"Hey be nice boys, he's my clown, " Rangiku kissed his neck, as Shuuhei rolled his eyes.
"What were you guys talking about anyway," Tatsuki interrupted as she said her hellos, walking with her boyfriend who remained silent and observing the group. She wore a red tube top a black sarong as he red bikini bottom poked through her sarong slit. Ulquiorra wore a white cotton shirt with green swimming trunks.
"We were just saying what a brother would do to make their sister happy," Karin answered as she popped grapes into her mouth.
"Yeah, Shuuhei was an annoying clown," Tatsuki said laughing, causing her brother to glare at her. "But he made up for it by being a sweet brother and watching sappy romance movies from time to time."
"Chick Flicks?" Grimmjow raised a brow. "Sometimes I think your sister has more balls than you Shuuhei."
"Compared to you not having any?" Shuuhei grinned causing the blue haired man to widen his grin.
"Look at that your pair must have grown? Now was that during the time you left to the states or the first time Gin kicked your ass." He smiled, as Shuuhei pushed Grimmjow roughly as he angrily balanced himself roughly shoving the spiky haired man as well. Byakuya stood between them as Renji roughly grabbed his blue haired friend's arm.
"Now I was under the impression that this was supposed to be a peaceful get-together or was I wrong?" Byakuya eyed the two men who glared at each other.
"No Byakuya I think they'll play nice. Right?" Renji eyed them, as they looked to Byakuya and Renji, both nodding in agreement.
Grimmjow sat back down near Nel as Hisagi stood beside Rangiku. Just then Jinta made his way through, walking aggressively to Yuzu as he grabbed the sides of her face, giving her a passionate kiss then releasing her in a flushed state. He left her there in a daze with her pink cheeks turning red, as he walked past ignoring everyone's hellos.
"Yo, where the hell you going?" Renji asked trying to get his attention by grabbing his arm, which he roughly shrugged off. "Yo?" He called out again sounding more frustrated.
"I just need a fucking moment," Jinta yelled out as he walked away, picking up speed as he kicked off his flip flops and started to run along the shore.
"What the fuck?" Renji asked confused.
Everyone seemed to shrug as Yuzu continued to look on with concern, still nursing a red tone. Others seemed to gather around the food, to start eating. Orihime went to grab a grape just when Shuuhei went for the same one. Orihime looked up and redden as she didn't speak and just avoided his look. Shuuhei put down his plate as he whispered in Rangiku's ear telling her he'll be right back as she nodded, waving him off as she grabbed fruits. He walked up to Orihime as she squeaked dropping the contents on her plate on the floor, he shook his head as she whined.
"Orihime can we talk for a quick moment?" He asked her as she looked at him with a wide-eyed expression, all she could do was a nod. She followed him out of the canopy as they walked a distance out of earshot, Orihime continued to look at the ground as she twiddled her thumbs.
"W.. What did Hisagi-san want to t...talk about?" She stuttered not making eye contact.
"First off call me Shuuhei, you know me well enough to not use honorifics." He said as he crossed his arms, as she began to blush.
"Ummm... okay Sh...Shuuhei." she then felt his finger lift her chin up so that he can see her face. He noticed her eyes widen and pink hue, with curiosity.
"Look Orihime, I get that you're embarrassed that your little secret came out. I'm flattered but I don't want this to be an issue between us. You've been a like a sister to Tatsuki and a second sister to me as well. So I do care for you Orihime, so stop being nervous around me." Shuuhei said as Orihime nodded.
"I'm sorry Shuuhei your right, you've been like a brother as well. Sorry for acting silly," she giggled giving him a huge hug as he smiled wrapping his arms around her. They heard a cough that interrupted them as Shuuhei turned in the direction to see a scowling Ichigo.
"Hey Ichigo," Shuuhei said still hugging Orihime as they slowly parted.
"Shuuhei," Ichigo said still eyeing him. Shuuhei turning to Orihime as she smiled.
"Remember what I said Orihime," he sternly told her, as she raised her hand to her head and saluted.
"Yes, sir!" She giggled as he patted her head laughing, he nodded to Ichigo leaving to rejoin the others, leaving the couple.
Ichigo watched Shuuhei leave with a scowl as Orihime looked at him with concern, "Hey?" She moved closer tugging on his shirt.
"Hey!" He said smiling, only his smile seemed off and she noticed. "What was that all about?" He asked her, still with a forced smile as he hugged her.
"He wanted to make sure things stayed the same between us," Orihime said as Ichigo looked at her.
"Us?" Ichigo asked with concern.
"Yeah! Shuuhei has always been like a brother so he didn't want me to feel uncomfortable after finding out... you know." She bit her lip not wanting to finish.
"Yeah!" Was all Ichigo could mouth out as he nodded.
"Are you okay?" Orihime asked him poking her finger between his brows that were downward in a scowl. "Be honest, ok?" She said looking up at him worried.
"It's just me being silly. First, you didn't wait for me so when I got here and you weren't with the others. I was sort of jealous when they said you were talking privately to Shuuhei." He slightly grinned.
"You're right! You were being silly," she said poking his cheek as she giggled when he tried to get away. "Come on let's join the others and later we can talk about how you failed to mention to me that you can do voices?" Orihime released her hug from him as he looked at her confused.
"Huh?" He asked.
"Kon-kun!" Orihime said sweetly as she kissed his cheeks as he began to redden, " That is so sweet, you did that for Yuzu." She said holding his hand.
"She told you when?" He yelled out.
"Well, not only to me." She said as Ichigo's eyes widen as he realized everyone else knew. He let go of her hand as he walked ahead of her walking to join the others.
"Yuzu!" He yelled out.
Yuzu peeked out to see her brother upset as he walked towards her, he leaned close to her whispering, "Why would you talk about Kon?"
"S...Sorry, Ichigo! I didn't mean to embarrass you." She started to feel bad as he noticed she was starting to form tears.
"Yuzu, don't start... Come here I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you." He pulled her into a hug as he rubbed her back.
"Just do your Kon voice that will cheer her up, " Grimmjow said, as Ichigo looked up to glare at him. While still rubbing Yuzu's back with one hand, he used the other to give him the finger. Ichigo looked around as he noticed someone's absence.
"Where's Jinta?" He asked as Yuzu looked up with a flushed face and shrugged.
"He came in all pissed off, kissed Yuzu and then went for a jog, said he needed a moment," Grimmjow answered.
Ichigo looked at Yuzu who avoided his stares, as he nodded. Renji looked at him curiously, wondering why Ichigo had a concerned look.
"Why you so concerned Ichigo?" The redhead asked him.
"It's nothing Renji!" Ichigo said being short with him.
"You were walking with Toshiro not long after Jinta came in. What did you do?" Renji asked, causing Yuzu to glance at her brother curiously.
"Like I told you it's nothing," Ichigo said raising his voice.
"Enough already, can we just enjoy the beach," Rukia said poking Renji, who eyed Ichigo sternly as he nodded to his fiance.
"Good, I'm still hot I need to cool off that bottle didn't do anything," Nel said getting up as she pushed off her flip flops wiggling out of her white towel dress. Her hunter green strap connected to her small bikini top, a small slit ran diagonally as her cleavage showed through. Then thin straps ran slanted across her stomach connecting to her bottoms, as a small amount of rear cheeks peeked through.
Grimmjow watched her fix her bathing suit, making sure everything was not out of place. "Thanks!" Nel said to Grimmjow getting his attention as he looked at her to see her cheekily smile.
"For?" he looked at her raising a brow.
"Thank you for liking my bathing suit, I think it's sexy too." She giggled, as he sucked his teeth. "You coming?" She asked him as he lifted his drink to show he wasn't finished. "Fine! Anyone else going?"
"I'll come," Karin said as she bent over to take off her shorts, Toshiro watched her from the side of his eye. Seeing how her black and blue bikini complimented her figure. She noticed his heated stare as she flustered from his attention.
"A. Are you coming Toshiro?" Karin stuttered as she asked him.
"Don't worry Karin, judging from his face he'll have no problem cumming."
"Fucking hell, Grimmjow," Ichigo yelled out.
Toshiro looked up abruptly as he coughed scratching the back of his head, avoiding staring at Karin. "I'm going to stay here for awhile, I'll be there later."
Karin glared at Grimmjow as Nel grabbed her hand and headed for the water. "Come on Karin."
"Come on Orihime you going?" Tatsuki asked as the auburn haired girl nodded. Orihime looked to Yuzu "Yuzu are you coming?" Orihime asked her.
"In a bit," she said looking to see if she spotted her boyfriend. Orihime understood as she nodded to Tatsuki. Both girls began to undress, as Tatsuki took off her sarong Orihime gasped seeing a dragon tattoo on her leg.
"T... Tatsuki you got a tattoo...when?" Orihime asked. "Oh umm.. a month ago, Ulquiorra and I got tats." Orihime looked at her brother as he took off his shirt to show his cool bat-like angel wings on his back.
"Soooo cool, I don't think I could get one I'm too indecisive" she giggled as she took off her flowing sarong.
*whistle* "I still can't believe you're related to Sora." Grimmjow said chugging his drink, looking at her bathing suit.
Orihime wore a decorative pink bikini top that almost looked like sheer lace as pink strings wrapped around her breast to her shoulders. Her bikini bottoms had the same sheer lace as cute strings that tied on the sides of her hips. Ichigo was speechless seeing his fiance's showing of skin, but Grimmjow's comment broke him out of his stupor.
"Oy!" Ichigo yelled at him, as Grimmjow began to take his shirt off revealing his toned body, causing the bartender to blush as well as a few lingering stares from others.
"Calm down Ichigo!" Grimmjow grinned "Orihime went through all that trouble to wear that sexy bathing suit, don't be made cause I appreciate all the trouble she went through. " he mockingly said with a huge grin on his face, as Ichigo glared.
"It's cute and sexy, I love it," Rangiku mused, hugging the girl to her chest. Grimmjow stretched as Orihime noticed his tattoo on the right side of his lower back.
"Is that a Panther?" Orihime asked as she pointed, with a huge grin on his face as he nodded.
"Yeah Orihime, thanks for noticing. I don't mind if you look lower but that will piss off Ichigo."
"Don't flatter yourself Grimmjow, she just noticed a grown man with a pussy on his back," Renji scoffed as Shuuhei burst out laughing. Grimmjow eyed the both of them his grin settled on a serious look.
"Better than your bullshit tribal tattoos Renji, you pretending to be Yakuza or a damn native?" Renji stopped laughing as he looked at Grimmjow who smirked. " Also Shuuhei's pussy eating or is it a dick sucking tattoo, I forgot which was it?"
"Hey, Shuuhei! Why don't you come with me I need you to rub some sun tanning lotion on me," Rangiku grabbed a pissed off Shuuhei, who hesitated at first but followed the sexy blonde. Tatsuki and Orihime along with Ulquiorra went on their way to the water. Grimmjow made to follow when Ichigo blocked his path.
"Grimmjow, I mean it, behave." The orange stared hard at Grimmjow who smiled.
"I give you my word, I'll behave." He said giving him a toothy grin. Ichigo looked at him, as he hesitantly moved out of his way, as he left the water. Ichigo watched the blue haired man run past the trio with his fiance as he nodded to them with a smile as he passed them, jumping into the water.
Ichigo shook his head and then watched Orihime from behind as her beautiful hips swayed and he couldn't help but stare.
"Jinta!" He heard Yuzu shout out as the missing boy ran up to her profusely sweating, he removed his tank as he wiped the sweat from his face. Yuzu would watch his fights, but could never get used to him shirtless, she was always a flustered mess. She could feel her heart pounding as she was held her breath when he approached.
"Hey...Yuzu," he said out of breath as he reached for a bottle of water as he drank, he looked at her curiously as he pointed at her cheeks.
" If you're hot why don't you go in the water, silly?" He shook his head as he drank from the bottle again. Yuzu noticed some water escape his lips as it fell on his chest, as she looked away.
"I.. I am going to," she stuttered, avoiding his glance. "I was just waiting."
"For?" He asked her curiously, as he felt someone smack his head.
"You dumbass! Waiting for you from your moment, what the fuck was that about?" Renji asked.
"Nothing!" His demeanor changing to serious. "Yuzu so you going in the water?"
The little blonde turned as she nodded as he watched her turn even redder. "y..yes"
"Okay, I'll be right back." He said as he went to the table of food and started to eat what he could carry. Yuzu started to take off her shorts and flip flops putting them to the side. Usually, her one piece was just that, but this one showed skin on her sides. Karin said she looked cute, she did feel cute. But now that Jinta was here she felt like she was showing too much, it wasn't as revealing as Orihime's or Nel's. Wishing she could walk around with confidence like them.
When Jinta was done eating he walked up to her as he stared. She nervously avoided looking at him. "You look cute," he smiled playfully tickling her sides.
"Stop that it's ticklish," she giggled, as she pushed him away. "Let's go, meanie." She teased.
"So... going for a swim I'll join you guys," Isshin yelled out grabbing Jinta around his shoulder. "I hear it's nice and cool, you know cool water helps with raging hormones too," Isshin said as he happily dragged him.
"Raging Hormones? What the hell is your problem." Jinta yelled as Yuzu followed upset.
"Tou-san! Please let him go!"
Renji laughed, watching his brother being dragged off and then pushed into the ocean. He watched as the redhead jumped out from the waves obviously upset, as he walked towards the elder Kurosaki who was laughing at him. Then tripped him as Isshin came crashing into the waves, as Jinta ignored the older man's cries as he held Yuzu's hand and went into the ocean.
Ichigo grinned, watching his father dramatically acting like he was drowning. Then he saw Orihime seem like she was asking if he was alright. When he noticed that his fiancé was heading towards the drowned man, he sucked his teeth and quickly took off his shirt and sandals.
"Papa-san, maybe you should stay on the beach, especially having a few drinks in your system," Orihime said as she began to tug him out from the water.
"Oh thank you Orihime for helping an old man like myself, I think you're right. I feel sort of dizzy." Isshin began to sway as the auburn haired girl caught him, he was heavy but she seemed to manage as she struggled to keep the man upright.
"Wow! Papa-san sure is heavy, haha, but don't worry your future daughter in law is strong," she said as she held the arm that was wrapped around her shoulder and carried him by the waist, as he wobbled along. She was prevented from going any further by a shadow that belonged to Ichigo.
"Orihime, let me help you," he said his voice sounding a little ominous and his grin slightly feral. At that moment Isshin looked up to see his son, as he magically stood up straight.
"That won't be necessary Ichigo, I seem pretty ok. Orihime-chan was sweet enough to help her Papa out." Isshin grinned at his son, who's grin turned to concern.
"Really? You seem to be limping to one side," Ichigo said, as the elder man looked confused.
"My boy I'm not limp...Ouch," the man felt a sharp kick to his foot as he nursed his toe, Ichigo aggressively pulled one of his arms as the man began to limp.
"You look flustered too, probably the hot weather? Cool refreshing water will help with that." Ichigo continued to pull as his father smiled nervously.
"I'm probably just flustered from a beautiful girl being concerned for an old man," he smiled, as Ichigo seemed to slightly grin.
"Well cold water helps with that too..." Ichigo dunks his father's head into the water, as he seemed to struggle. After a bit, he pulled him up as the man gasped for air.
"I don't understand how this helps?"
"Maybe if I leave you in longer the tide will wash away a dirty old man." He said as he dunked his father once more.
"Ichigo!" Orihime shouted as he looked to see her concerned look. Feeling slightly guilty for upsetting her, he pulled him out and let him go. The elder man tried to gasp for air but the wave crashed into him.
"Papa-san, Are you ok?" Orihime asked him again.
"Fine Orihime! No need to be concerned." Isshin stood up as he walked up to the shore and smiled. "I'm just going to dry up and stay off this limp." He said as he limped to the canopy.
Ichigo watched the old man dramatically fall to the floor and turned, bringing his thumb up and yelling, " I'm ok!" And then continue to limp and fall, all the way to the canopy.
"Maybe, Retsu should check on him," Orihime pouted, watching her future father in law struggle to walk.
"Jeez, Orihime! He's a damn doctor and he's absolutely fine." Ichigo rubbed the back of his head irritated. He looked at her to suddenly find her staring at him with crossed arms.
"You're the one who caused the limp, Ichigo. Then you tried to drown him." Orihime said giving him a critical eye. He looked at her, looking at him like she couldn't believe him. All he could do was smile as he got closer trying to get a kiss from her but then felt her small hands shove him, losing his balance as he fell in the water.
"Oh, I didn't mean to push you that hard," she said but saw his grinning expression, as she walked backward. She ran only a few feet before he swiftly ran out of the water and picked her up over his shoulders.
"So you were trying to drown me, Orihime?" Ichigo playfully said as he walked into the waves.
"Depends!" She whimpered.
"Depends?" He stopped to look over his shoulder.
" Yes if you are going to take it as an accident, if not then the answer is No, I wasn't trying to drown you." She said as she tried to squirm out of his grip.
"Is that so?" He said as a wave headed towards him, letting go just in time for her to get swept by the wave. Proud of himself he stood there waiting until she came back to the surface. Seconds passed as his expression changed to concern when he looked around at her, he saw everyone else playing around. Then his stomach turned into a knot.
"Orihime?" He yelled out receiving looks from the others, watching him look around frantically until she felt small hands grab his legs. He felt himself lose balance as he crashed into an incoming wave. As the wave settled he lifted himself up whipping his face aggressively, as he opened his eyes to see a smiling Orihime as she giggled hysterically.
"Orihime!" She yelled mocking him, as his scowling expression gave a slight grin.
"That wasn't really funny." He said as she came closer.
"Awww! Not just a little funny?" she poked the side of his cheek. He saw her body and hair completely drenched, as she waited for his answer as he continued to stare.
"Depends!" He said watching her, as she smiled but then made a serious face as she played along.
"Depends?"
"Yes, if you plan on giving me a kiss to make up for almost scaring the crap out of me, if not then NO it wasn't funny, you scared the crap out of me." He said defiantly raising his brow to her. He watched her scrunch up her lips and tapped her finger to her chin, in thought.
"So you were scared?" She said as her hand touched his chest looking up to him, as he looked at her suspiciously nodding in agreement. "I didn't mean to do that, I was trying to show you my swimming skills and how long I could hold my breath. I used to train when I was younger because I always thought Sora and I were really merpeople, and if I trained hard enough they'd take me back to the ocean." She said, her eyes shutting as she smiled. He couldn't resist how beautiful she looked as he leaned down to surprise her with a kiss, opening her mouth with his tongue. After he parted he watched the sun gently touch her beautiful features, giving off a warm smile, as she opened her eyes to look at him.
"You know Ichigo, you don't have to be scared that I'd disappear and turn into seafoam," she said as he hugged her close pushing her wet strands over her ears.
"Oh yeah? Why is that?" He said lovingly, kissing her again. She blushed looking at his expression completely serious as if staring into his soul.
"You have my heart, and I know that with you protecting it, it would never be broken." She said as he smiled at how innocent and endearing her words were. He leaned his head down capturing her lips for a kiss again.
"If you're a mermaid, what does that make me?" he asked her.
"A grouchy crab," they heard the voice of Orihime's friend Tatsuki say, interrupting their little moment. Ichigo turned to glare at the spiky haired girl who showed her toothy grin in triumph.
"Like the little mermaid," Orihime squealed.
"So you're the sea witch?" Ichigo grinned as he watched the spiky haired girl glared at him with a clenched fist.
"Careful Ichigo, she's so upset she might turn you into a crab," Nel intervened, as she skipped close to Tatsuki with Karin and Grimmjow close behind.
"Nel would you stay out of it," Tatsuki said trying to silence her friend.
"Yeah, like you stayed out of their cute moment, interrupting them." Nel protested.
"Well, maybe they should get a room if they didn't want to get interrupted." She said matter of fact.
"They probably want to shake things up and not only do things in a room," Nel explained making the auburn haired girl blush.
"Calm down Nel! No one's giving anyone a show." Ichigo shouted out.
"Aww!" The green haired girl pouted in disappointment.
"Gross!" Karin voiced as she shook her head.
"It's only gross to you because he's your brother, just like Tatsuki doesn't want to see that," Nel pointed at the pair on the beach. Rangiku sat in front of Shuuhei with her front being covered by a towel with her top mysteriously missing. She made heated expressions as the man in the back of her seemed to kiss, lick, and bite as he secretly touched her underneath the towel.
"You see they don't need a room," Nel giggled as Tatsuki made an embarrassed face.
"Yeah Ichigo, what was the about no one giving a show?" Grimmjow added, laughing with his girlfriend.
"I was trying to say Orihime and me," he spouted back.
"You two never had sex in public?" Grimmjow asked with a mischievous grin, causing the auburn haired girl to turn a shade darker.
"No Grimmjow!" the orange-haired growled out.
Grimmjow raised a brow as he pointed at Orihime," Is it because the princess is too shy?"
"That's none of your damn business," Ichigo seethed, as he stood inches in front of the man that irked him.
"Oh my god! Is anyone else feeling overwhelmingly hot right now?" Nel fanned herself as the two men looked in her direction.
"No, I think it's just you, " Tatsuki said irritated.
"Orihime?" Nel asked, as her friend looked at her in confusion.
"Ummm you mean it being hot from the sun?"
Nel covered her hand over her face as she shook her head. She walked over to Orihime, standing behind her as she pretended to whisper, her tone was loud enough so that everyone could hear.
"Two handsome men, physically fit, completely drenched with water as it drips down their toned bodies. Both staring at each other with heated expressions, that doesn't turn you on?" Nel finished as Orihime's breathing became irregular covering her flustered cheeks with her hands.
Both men looked at each other and then rolled their eyes.
"Nel! Shut up with your Yaoi bullshit," Grimmjow angrily stated.
"Oh, it's bullshit?" Nel sneakily grinned, glancing at the two men.
"Orihime? I have a bad cramp, I must have pushed myself with running. Could you please massage it for me?" Nel whined, pouting to the auburn haired girl who looked on with concern as she began to rub her back shoulders.
"Aww poor Nel, you really shouldn't push yourself," Orihime said seriously, digging tenderly into her skin.
"Mmmmm, I know Orihime, I'm such a bad girl. Ouch! It seems to have moved lower," she moaned out as Orihime's fingers dug lower.
"Here Nel?" She said as her hands resided to her lower back.
"Oh yes there, mmm mmmm mmmm," she expressed her pleasure with a sigh.
"You shouldn't say you're a bad girl, just learn from your mistakes," Orihime smiled.
"Oh...yes...Orihime! I'll learn and I'll be a real...mmmm good next time." Nel moaned out as the two men looked on at the display with heated looks, completely speechless.
"Okay done, how are you feeling Nel?" Orihime asked innocently.
Nel pretended to check for aches as she stretched then glanced at the men in front of her and smiled at their mouths slightly ajar.
"Oh.. Orihime you sure know how to work those fingers. Ichigo you sure are lucky." Nel winked at Ichigo who turned red. Orihime completely oblivious giggled.
"Yeah, Ichigo likes my massages, especially if he had a long night at the hospital or sore from training at his dojo. Right Ichigo?" She smiled at her fiancé as she waited for his response, as Nel's smile widened.
*cough* "Yeah Orihime you umm... do a great job," he saw his fiancé smile but glared at Nel who giggled.
"I'm sure Ichigo is going to need a massage after the beach?" Grimmjow muttered as Ichigo looked to him.
"Aww! Are you sore Ichigo?" Orihime asked concerned.
"If I'm sore, he's definitely sore." Grimmjow grinned.
"So you're sore from running too, Grimmjow? Then Ichigo, you're probably sore from fighting with Papa-san," she lectured them, as Grimmjow played along.
"Yeah I'm definitely sore, you mind helping with that, Nel?" He asked his girlfriend with a smile, who caused this predicament in the first place.
"Oh.. I shouldn't strain myself Grimmjow. Maybe you should ask nurse Hime," she teased.
"I..I don't think you should call me a nurse Nel. If it hurts, I don't mind helping out," Orihime said as Grimmjow's canine's peeked through his grin as Nel couldn't help but laugh.
"I mean if you're willing to help out, I'll ignore the fact that you're not a qualified nurse yet."
Ichigo got between Orihime and Grimmjow.
"If he's not that hurt, maybe my dad can help," he looked hard at the blue haired man in front of him.
"Your fucking dad can't help with that," he chuckled.
"There's no way in fucking hell Orihime is gonna help you in that situation." Ichigo challenged.
"You just said she does a great job? Are you lying?" Grimmjow continued to egg him, seeing his orange haired friend scowl deepen.
"So I don't do a great job?" Orihime meekly said.
Ichigo's attention looked to her as he seemed to calm down, " No Orihime, you do a tremendous job,"
"But you just said..." Orihime questioned but was interrupted.
"Yeah Ichigo, don't confuse the poor girl." Grimmjow decided to say causing Ichigo to seriously get a twitch that throbbed in his head as he balled his fist.
"Orihime! Grimmjow's idea of a massage is quite different from what you're thinking." Ichigo clarified.
"Different?" Orihime asked as Ichigo was having a hard time to explain being so upset when someone decided to speak for him.
"He's playfully provoking you into gratifying his arousal with your hands, that's his idea of a massage." Ulquiorra bluntly said causing her to squeak.
"When you say it like that it almost sounds like a damn chore," Grimmjow said to the green eyed man who stared at him.
"An unpleasant but necessary task? That maybe exactly how Nel feels," he shot back, upsetting Grimmjow who's grin disappeared. Tatsuki couldn't help but chuckle in delight at her boyfriend's swift comment.
"Only girl here who seems still unpleasant is her, " Grimmjow pointed at Tatsuki who grinded her teeth, Ichigo began to chuckle as Orihime eyed her fiancé with a furrowed look.
"I could be wrong and that's just her personality, either way, you're both unpleasant."
"Grimmjow! That's not very nice, my brother and Tatsuki have always been there for me." She aggressively told the blue haired man, who walked closer to her and grinned.
"Nice? Hate to disappoint you princess, but that's not me," he grinned as Ichigo made to grab Orihime. She moved closer to the blue haired man silently studying him with her eyes, making him look at her questioningly. She suddenly covered her mouth suppressing a laugh, making him deepen his furrowed brows.
"This whole bad guy demeanor is just for show, I bet secretly your just sweet as a kitten," she smiled. "Right Nel?"
Nel looked on as she couldn't contain her laughter, " Yes Orihime, he's just an adorable kitten, " she said in a baby voice as she hugged him. He tried to shrug her off but it only prompted her to squeeze him tighter.
Karin had left the rambunctious group without anyone noticing. Once they started teasing her brother and Orihime about their sexual activities, that was her cue to leave. Jinta was giving her sister a piggyback ride as she held on to him tightly, both laughing as they crashed into the waves. She noticed that Sora and Retsu had joined the trio at the bar, seeming to enjoy themselves as Retsu blushed and smiled, no doubt receiving compliments from the drunken men.
Renji and Rukia sat on the lounge chairs as they conversated with Byakuya, who sat there listening. Toshiro sat at the corner of the canopy with the most shade, but still had a view of the beach. He was eating when his eyes found hers, as he smirked and slowly waved. Lifting her hand nervously she waved as well with a smile, before jumping in to feel the refreshingly cool water hit her heated skin.
After a while of swimming, she looked up in the direction of the canopy to find Toshiro not there. Then she saw that he had already taken off his shirt and was heading towards the water. Watching him as he walked noticing his frame had gotten larger when he first arrived, but now being shirtless she could see his sculpted abs that matched his well-muscled arms and legs.
She felt herself heat up as she squatted, lowering herself more in the water until it reached her neck. As he got closer there was a loud whistle coming from behind him, as he turned to see Rangiku with a mischievous smile and wink. Embarrassed but also annoyed, Toshiro turned when the older blonde seemed to be more interested in kissing her boyfriend.
Karin saw him shake his head as he got closer she could see his eyebrows begin to twitch in irritation.
"What is wrong with that woman?" He said to himself as she giggled. "Swimming by yourself?" He asked her as she held her feet in the sand as the waves hit.
"Well. I didn't want to interrupt Yuzu and Jinta who are enjoying themselves, and I didn't want to hear about my brother and …" she said as she pointed to the group, stopping mid-sentence looking at him blushing. Toshiro looked at her confused especially when she tried to avoid him with her eyes.
"H..His personal interactions with his fiancé." After her comment, she displayed a scowl, upset from having to say something so embarrassing.
"OH!" Was all he could say as he walked closer, understanding her embarrassment.
"So is that the reason you came in because you saw me alone?" She teased him.
"No, I..I said that I was coming in later," she saw him slightly redden as she smiled not convinced by his reasoning.
"Whatever... umm Sorry I couldn't test you back, with my dad having my phone." She watched how his eyes widen as she started to laugh," Don't worry about it... it was locked and he gave it back to me. I promised not to text while I'm here. You texted that you needed to tell me something important?" She asked with concern as his calm demeanor changed to one of avoidance, concentrating too hard on the water's surface.
He looked around, feeling sort of comfortable that they were some distance from the others before he began to talk.
"It's about Momo," he nervously said.
Her heart sank at the mention of her name but her expression didn't show him that it bothered her.
"What about her?" She asked searching for an answer from his demeanor.
"She's called to let me know that she's no longer in a relationship, the guy she was with just left her. At first, she needed someone to talk to for comfort. Now..." He said still avoiding looking at her, as she suddenly stood up with a disgruntled look.
"Now...What?" She asked aggressively. He noticed her tone change as he looked at her puzzled.
"If you let me explain instead of getting so upset for no reason," he told her as she narrowed her eyes, and sighed.
"Fine!" She said impatiently, crossing her arms. "She asked if we could get back together, and..." He began to say before Karin interrupted again.
"and you told her you were with someone else, right?" She said as her tone grew louder. Toshiro scowled at his girlfriend, peeved at being interrupted and now yelled at.
"You're not letting me finish, I'd appreciate it if you didn't yell. I'm not deaf." He shouted back. He noticed that they were receiving glances from the others as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Look Karin! You seem upset and this conversation is not going anywhere with both of us yelling. I'm gonna head back." He said as he made to leave when Karin grabbed his arm.
"No, wait! I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. Please go ahead I'll stop interrupting." She said biting her lip.
He looked at her noticing her voice sounding much calmer, he began to talk. "I told her that I was seeing someone that I care about, and we also shouldn't continue to talk to each other because it is too uncomfortable. For me, for her, and for you," he said as he gently reached for her barrette and let her hair loose as he smiled. "You're hair got longer."
She seemed distracted for a moment as she noticed he was talking to her as she nodded, " Yeah, I'm letting it grow," she touched her strands that reached her chest."Is it uncomfortable because you still have feelings for her?"
"Had feelings. I don't have them anymore." He said touching the length of her hair. "I have to get used to this." He said laughing as she looked with a questioning look.
"My hair?" She asked.
"No... staring down at you," he continued to laugh, as he compared the height difference.
"Shut up Toshiro," she said feeling annoyed at him teasing her, " How the hell did you grow so fast anyway?"
"Well that's what happens when you mature you grow," he informed her.
"Yeah but I only grew just 6 inches from the last time you saw me," she sighed.
"So do you prefer that I stayed this tall," he bent to her exact height as he was eye to eye, as she blushed at his close proximity.
"Stop being silly," she nervously laughs.
"Or maybe you wanted to be taller? Need help?" He continued to look at her closely as she scrunched up her nose, wondering what he meant by that. She found out shortly when his arms reached under her bottom to lift her up as her hands held his chest to steady herself.
"W...what are you doing?" She looked down at him, her face completely red from embarrassment.
"You're taller than me. See?" He laughed looking up.
"ha ha very funny can you put me down." She said avoiding his stare. He made to put her down but only halfway as his hands wrapped around her waist and she was mere inches from his face as she looked down at his lips.
"You've not only grown more beautiful, but I can feel that you've grown too." He whispered as she felt her body heating up.
"F...Feel?" She stuttered, as she swallowed the knot that was lodged in her throat. He stayed quiet as he continued to hold her and just stare. She was immersed in his beautiful turquoise eyes that matched the ocean that she couldn't stop herself from moving her lips closer. She was the one to take the initiative, kissing him. She felt him squeeze her tighter as she tilted her head to hungrily open his mouth to using her tongue. She found herself moaning, feeling his tongue move inside as her breasts rubbed against him.
He broke the kiss to smile up at her, " So how did you get them to grow so fast Karin?"
Her eyes widen. Completely understanding he was talking about her breast size as she started to lose her balance when she tried to push him away. She slipped down as he fell backward with the waves crashing into the both of them, as he smiled. He stood picking her up in the process, holding her again in his arms, lightly brushing his fingers on her back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you," he told her as his soothing deep voice seemed to calm her anger, but not calm the heat within her.
"I.. I wasn't embarrassed. Just a little surprised, didn't peg you for a perv," she grinned.
" I'm not a pervert," he noticed he was shouting as he lowered his voice, " I'm not a pervert... I just noticed." He said as a creeping pink starting to form on his cheeks.
"I noticed...too," she nervously said as her hands started to explore his abdomen, finding it sturdy and hard.
"Get a room," they heard the blue haired man shout. As they both looked at each other with wide-eyed expressions, noticing what they were doing in public. Karin slowly moved away, as Toshiro retracted his arms from around her.
"Oi!" They heard the voice of her orange haired brother shout, "That's my sister you're talking about, Grimmjow." The blue haired man only glanced over to Ichigo with an uncaring expression.
"You noticed my expression, right? So you understand that I don't care." He said as Ichigo shook his head rolling his eyes.
"Why did you interrupt them, they were so cute together." Nel chimed in.
"I agree," Orihime giggled, as Ichigo looked at her with a scowl look as she stuck two fingers to the sides of his mouth, to change his scowl into a smile."Don't you agree, Ichigo?"
"No!" He said as she shook his head up and down to answer the opposite of what he just said.
"Come on let's go," Karin said grabbing Toshiro's hand as they walked out of the water to walk up to the canopy. Karin gathered some fruits feeling hungry from swimming as she sat at the set tables. Waiting as her boyfriend piled his plate with some sushi rolls, iced clams, and oysters.
"See what I had to deal with," Karin jokingly said to Toshiro who agreed and smiled.
"I can see how too much of it can drive a person crazy."
"Luckily, you're with one of the sane ones," she stated.
"I wouldn't call that accurate," he teased with a serious expression.
"Hey!" She kicked him, only causing her toe pain since his shin was rock hard, "Ouch!" She rubbed her foot.
"See... a sane person doesn't go around trying to kick people," he smirked as he ate a sushi roll.
She ignored his comment as they both continued to eat, she looked up as she watched him suck down the clams from its shells. Her eyes lingered too long on the way his tongue grabbed the squishy morsel and then in seconds suck and swallow it whole.
Toshiro stopped to glance across the table to spot Karin glancing at him with flustered cheeks. He looked at her curiously as he slightly smiled then composed himself.
"Now who's the pervert?" He said seriously, causing her to redden in anger.
"I'm not a pervert!" She yelled, banging her fist on the table.
"Bullshit Karin!" The red headed punk said as he sat down next to them with a plate." With a mouth like yours."
"Shut up Jinta, no one asked you," Karin said glaring at him as he cracked the shell of a lobster leg and bit the hidden meat inside.
"I don't care if no one asked, it's still the truth." He said with his mouth completely full.
"Jinta, don't say that about Karin, " her twin defended as she sat near him scrutinizing him with a look.
"You don't remember her comparing her chest size to other girls especially Orihime's," he said laughing as Karin glared at him, "I mean you got larger but you still got ways to go to reach hers." Jinta teased.
"Would you shut the hell up," Karin yelled.
"No, I won't shut the hell up pervert." He argued back.
"Go suck someone off."
"Karin!" Yuzu intervened.
"Coming from the expert," he chided her, upsetting the black haired twin.
"Jinta!" Yuzu said, as her boyfriend's and sister's eyes locked in an angry staring competition.
"You've always been so damn annoying," Karin growled.
"Feelings damn mutual, sweetie!" He grinned.
"Hey, Hey, Hey Enough!"
Both heard the orange haired man yell as they slowly looked away from each other. Ichigo along with Orihime, Nel, and Grimmjow joined them by sitting on the table across from them.
"Hee Hee! Don't worry Ichigo, they are always like this, " His fiance said as he looked to her who smiled, he glanced at Yuzu who nodded nervously in agreement.
"I'm curious, What started the argument?" Grimmjow asked, much to Karin and Ichigo's annoyance.
"Just stating the truth, that she's a pervert." The red head said.
"I am not a pervert, truth my ass,"
"So ladylike, Where did you learn to talk from a fucking bar?" Jinta said.
"What about you hypocrite?" Karin said peeved.
"A Bar!" He laughed referring to Zanpaktous, causing Karin's expression to become even angrier.
"That's also where you learn perverted shit too?" Karin shot back.
"Don't try to call me perverted when you are," He laughed, roughly eating his lobster.
"Says the guy who exercises his hands two to four times a day from jacking off," Karin smirked, as Jinta redden as a few others hollered with laughter.
Jinta smirked putting down the crustacean leg and turned to Karin who raised her brow in defiance.
" So Karin... Is it for practice when you do those mouth and throat exercises with your dildo?"
"You son of a bitch," Karin yelled as she pushed him angrily, causing the redhead to fall on the floor as he laughed.
"Oi! Cut the bullshit right now." Ichigo yelled, already having enough.
"Come on, it was just getting good, Ichigo," Grimmjow said with an amused smirk.
"I don't want to hear that shit about my sister."
"Sheesh, Ichigo! Karin knows I'm joking, don't you Karin?" Jinta got up, playfully ruffling her hair as she smiled pushing him away as he sat back down.
"You're such an asshole sometimes." She laughed fixing her hair.
"See Ichigo, they both are like this, just like he defends Yuzu, he makes sure no on messes with Karin also." Orihime giggled.
"I don't know where you getting your information from Orihime," Jinta said avoiding the auburn haired girl.
"Yuzu was at gym class too, Jinta. We saw the whole thing."
"You mean Goro?" Yuzu asked curiously as Jinta and Karin both smirked, remembering something amusing.
"I don't remember Jinta getting into it. I remember Goro purposely kicking me down after I scored a point, but I showed him by tripping him and scoring another point." Karin said proudly.
"Well, Jinta was put on the bench for taking out the other teams player," Orihime stated.
"How did you do that?" Toshiro asked the red head.
"I saw Goro trying to hurt another one of my teammates again, I guess I didn't see where I was going when I accidentally rammed my knee into his side," Jinta said grinning.
"It wasn't just a teammate, it was Karin." Yuzu playfully pushed Jinta, shaking her head.
"Oh, it was... I didn't notice," he said nonchalantly.
"You are such a liar," Tatsuki came to join them as she chomped on a grape.
"Liar?" Jinta asked.
"We all heard what you said to Goro. The jerk was pissed Karin embarrassed him by tripping and scoring again. He was aiming for Karin again but then you kneed him." Tatsuki said munching on another grape.
"What did he say?" Nel asked curiously.
"I believe he said, "Goro you big pussy. Trying to attack Karin from behind." Then the teacher asked you what happened and you told him that the big dumb shit got in your way. So that's when they removed you." Tatsuki finished.
"I don't remember," Jinta said drinking water.
"Well, I would have taken Goro, without help," Karin advised out loud.
"Then I guess I should of let his big ass pummel you like I said I did it because he was in my way," Jinta shot back.
"Thought you said you didn't remember?" Karin grilled him.
"I don't," he said fiddling with his plate.
"Jinta is trying to keep his image as a rough hooligan but inside he's a knight with a big heart." Orihime giggled.
"I'm not a fucking knight," he yelled out.
"Hey! Watch your fucking mouth," Ichigo said.
"Says the guy who fucking swears like a sailor, I guess I know where Karin picked up her vocabulary." Jinta countered and Ichigo tightened his fist.
"Ichigo he's causing no harm, I'm sort of used to the profanity." Orihime nervously said.
"Yeah, she probably heard worst shit come from your damn mouth anyways," Grimmjow said to Ichigo.
"You always have to put your two cents in?" Ichigo asked his blue haired friend.
"Not always." He sarcastically said showing his canine grin.
"Can I have everyone's attention!" Rukia said dragging a grim-faced Renji along as she smiled. " Renji and..."
"She means Rukia only," Renji said interrupting as the petite girl elbowed him as she continued.
"Renji and I thought of a fun activity that is both fun and brings people closer to one another."
Some people looked excited as others seemed to be annoyed as they groaned.
"You are put in groups of two that were randomly picked, " She said as Renji shook his head "No" from behind his fiance as she talked.
"You'll be given a map of the island to get two items that after-acquired you will meet back at the beach to win prizes."
"I want to play, so who are the teams? Whoever I'm teamed up with just letting you know I'm very competitive," Nel informed everyone giving them an eye," So yay to my future partner and to everyone else I feel sorry for you."
"Umm okay, Nel! Thank you for that. So when I call your name I will give you an envelope, do not open it until I say so." Rukia stated. She named everyone among the list including Byakuya, Renji, and herself.
"Okay, now you may open the envelope and I have placed marked colors on the sands here, just find the color and wait for your partner."
Orihime opened her envelope to reveal a purple piece of paper as she made her way to the purple circle. She found the petite violet eyed girl waiting for her.
"Yay! Rukia so you're my partner, this is going to be so exciting," she said waiting for others to get settled.
"Random my ass," Grimmjow growled as his father waved to him with the same blue paper and a cheerful smile.
"What's wrong with a little father and son bonding," Renji yelled out as Yuzu sheepishly showed him her yellow paper, that matched his.
"I know for a fact you and Rukia picked these," Jinta said glaring at Ichigo who had the same orange paper, wearing a scowl on his face. "Don't you dare tell her shit that's not true, Renji," Jinta yelled at the older red head who's grin widen.
"Not true or embarrassing stories? You know I've got a ton of those."
"I'm warning you dammit!" Jinta growled as Renji ignored him.
Karin partnered with Nel, as the green haired girl hugged her and glared at everyone else.
Byakuya stood patiently as Retsu who was unsure how to approach the silent man as she smiled and waved.
Shunshui approached Tatsuki who seemed content with her partner as she shook his hand.
Sora approached Isshin, as the man hollered boisterously and grabbed him for a rough hug as Sora nervously smiled.
Ulquiorra looked at his colored paper and quietly looked to see Shuuhei standing there, as the spiky haired man waved. As his green eyed partner nodded, saying nothing as he stood by him, as Shuuhei sighed.
Rangiku saw a weary Toshiro who seemed to avoid eye contact as the older woman giggled. She grabbed his head forcefully placing him on her chest for a hug. He roughly pulled away from her grip.
"Would you stop that," he yelled as he blushed.
"Awww I just wanted to show you how much fun we're going to have, "She smiled ruffling his hair as he moved away annoyed.
"Can I switch?" Toshiro asked as Rukia voiced out loud.
"I'm afraid there will be no switching, and as everyone has their partner. One will get a map and the other a compass. You have two items to find but you cannot separate, you must both go to each location together. With that let's start." Rukia waited for the servants to hand the map and compass to everyone as she then whistled loudly, startling the auburn haired girl beside her.
Some walked while others ran to their respective locations, as others grumbled under their breaths not finding this the least bit fun.
I enjoyed writing the part with Ichigo, Toshiro, and Jinta. Jinta I feel is a big pain in the ass but is has a good heart, even when he tries to hide it. = ) Also Renji and Rukia did pick the teams they weren't random. I'm so going to enjoy writing Ichigo and Jinta also Grimmjow and Jushiro. lol
