Orihime loved swimming. She especially loved it most during the summer.

There was one instance that Orihime suggested they all go to the beach one afternoon, just for their friends, as a way of relaxing. Ichigo figured he could go along, since he saw no harm. They had just gotten done with exams, and it would be a good way to unwind.

Only… When he saw her bathing suit, a small, suspiciously orange bikini, he knew there was going to be no way he could relax.

Needless to say, Ichigo suddenly had a newfound love for swimming that day.
