Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Also Happy Holiday! I was so excited with the Bleach novel and the cuteness of Renji telling Ichigo to get his shit together and get the sweet,sexy, and beautiful Orihime. (well he didn't say all that, but you get what I mean). Anyways in celebration of that this chapter has Ichihime! YAY! Light the fireworks! It also has the aftermath of the sleepover, you can't have all this fun and not have consequences lol. I've never had a hangover so forgive me if I'm not explaining it right, I just write what I see my friends and family go through and say what they feel like =P.
Hot Spring Week Day 2
All the men sat at the table quietly eating their food. Just an occasional pass the salt, but everyone seemed to not say much. Isshin came into the dining hall with his usual chipper self, "Gooooooooood Morning Everyone!" He said sitting down, receiving hellos that were either dull or not enough enthusiasm. He began to eat his food but looked around the table noticing the absent of women, "Where are the sweet beautiful girls?"
"It seems that they had slept in, must of been having a bit of fun late last night," Jushiro answered as the dark haired man's face changed to a somber mood. "Awww nothing brings joy to me than to see my daughter's happy face, Orihime-chan is also included." He pouted.
Ichigo rolled his eyes as Sora smiled a bit as he waited patiently for the two woman he cared for.
"Are they even coming down for breakfast?" Isshin asked sadly.
" Servant's had informed me that the room's door displays a do not disturb sign, but other than that I'm unsure," Byakuya stated drinking his tea.
"I bet they had fun, my Nel-chan is a great hostess, my 50th birthday was a celebration to remember," Shunsui said smiling.
"Too bad you didn't remember the upset face from Nel-chan when you were passed out half the night," Jushiro said.
"She brought out the good stuff, she can't be upset when I was enjoying myself," Shunsui said glumly as Jushiro shook his head.
"I have to agree old friend Nel-chan always puts together a great celebration with so much fun." Jushiro laughed.
"Oh I know what you mean," Rangiku came in still in her silk chemise, not acting like her usual cherry self as she was held her head. "Such a fun night, Nel kept it so entertaining, we bonded, we laughed, and cried. All in all best sleepover ever." She giggled but soon held her head.
"Please, I need coffee having too much fun comes with a price," she added.
"Nursing a hangover?" Shuuhei asked, rubbing her shoulders.
"Yeah, but only a slight one I drank the most so I can handle my alcohol intake, seems the other girls weren't so lucky."
"Other girls?" Isshin asked as Rangiku dodged answering by sipping her cup. Nel, Tatsuki, Retsu, and Rukia came in wearing also what they had on last night, with groggy faces. Only Nel seemed to be the one laughing and holding her head. Rukia bowed "Good morning," she said giving a kiss to her fiance and brother.
"Good morning," Retsu smiled kissing Sora and waving to the others.
"Good morning," Tatsuki said sitting by her boyfriend and leaning against his arm.
"M...Morning," Nel said almost losing her balance, "Glad I caught myself that would have been embarrassing," she giggled 'Ow' she moaned out rubbing her head.
"Awww, Nel-chan have some more sake it will help nurse your headache." Nel looked at her father with furrowed brows like he was crazy.
"Father, I'm afraid if I drink anymore that I'll end up nauseous like the ones still upstairs."
"You mean my Yuzu-chan, Karin-chan, and Orihime-chan were drinking?" Isshin dropped his utensil with his mouth opened.
"Yep, I guess it was their first time," Nel blurted out laughing.
"Nel stops laughing, poor things," Retsu said.
Ichigo had enough as he yelled frustrated, "Who decided to give them drinks?" Ichigo looked to see Nel pointing at Rangiku and Retsu, Retsu and Rangiku pointing at Nel, as Tatsuki pointed at all three.
"They're underage!" Both Ichigo and Sora yelled at the same time, realizing this they looked away embarrassed.
"Oh Pwease Mr. Itsygo and Sowa. Pwease don't call the poweace," Nel's bottom lip quivered with sadden eyes, she mockingly said.
Grimmjow and Renji snickered.
"Sheesh, you both are the party police?' Rukia interfered.
"NO I'M NOT!" They both yelled in unison.
"We all had a good time, it's just some couldn't handle having a few drinks," Nel said causing Isshin, Ichigo and Sora's expression turning into concern.
"They didn't drink all that much if anything Yuzu drank the least. Orihime is just helping Yuzu, she's a little embarrassed to come down." Karin said as she drank from her cup and nursed her headache.
"We all know who drank the most," Ichigo said as he stared at Rangiku.
"Why would you assume it to be me...Oh wait I did say I drank the most. Tee-hee" Holding her hands to her mouth laughing as Ichigo scowled."Okay, I did drink the most but Nel-chan was not far behind. That's it, Nel-chan is officially my little sister. I just love her she is so adorable." Rangiku hugged the green haired girl who squealed in delight.
"YAY! Rangiku! I always wanted one, we can go shopping, we can talk about things my best friends are too prudish to talk about," as both women hugged each other and giggled.
"I just don't like sharing those things," Tatsuki mumbled.
"Aww poor girl can't even say it, those things' " Rangiku teased as Tatsuki became upset.
"Can we please change the subject, I really don't want to hear this." Shuuhei said drinking from his cup, Ulquiorra looked at Tatsuki then spoke, "Nothing wrong with Tatsuki not divulging what we do, frankly I find it rather pointless," the green eyed man said calmly, as Tatsuki smiled.
"You would find it pointless," Nel chuckled.
"Pointless like this conversation and your constant need for attention," Ulquiorra added.
"I don't need attention," Nel yelled back pouting, as Grimmjow chuckled receiving glares from her.
Orihime walked in hugging Yuzu, who was extremely embarrassed as she hid her face with her hands.
"It's alright Yuzu, Good Morning everyone!" Orihime said with a smile but not as bright as she kissed Ichigo and waved to the others.
Yuzu hurriedly sat by her sister looking down holding her head.
"Sorry for us joining so late, we were so tired and have a huge headache." Orihime said.
"Drink some miso soup it'll help with the hangover," Retsu said as she sipped her fill of the said soup.
"You guys had a wild night then?" Renji said nudging Rukia, who groggily looked at him.
"Oh yes, Renji! It was so much fun, we talked about umm...things and played games." Rukia eyes shined as Renji smiled at her happiness.
"Really? What sort of games?" Renji asked.
"Oh umm..." Rukia bit her lip, unsure of what to divulge.
"It's fine Rukia," Rangiku mused as Rukia nodded.
"It's a game called 'Have you Ever?'" she said as her fiance raised a brow.
"I bet it wasn't the clean version." Grimmjow laughed.
"They have a clean version?" Rangiku asked as Retsu, Nel, and a few others laughed.
"First drinking and now that game with my sisters? Who's idea was the game?" Ichigo seethed.
All the girls pointed, with some nervously at Nel.
"Okay, that was me," Nel smiled as Ichigo glared at her.
"Oh calm down Ichigo, you act like we haven't heard worse from dad," Karin informed her brother.
"What do you tell them...on second thought I don't want to know." Ichigo said to his father who pouted.
"I'm just honest with my daughters, telling them the evils of men and their lustful ways, and how to avoid them," Isshin explained.
"Oh yeah, how's that working for ya?" Grimmjow asked snidely.
"Grimmjow just...just stay out of it," Ichigo shot back.
"I mean your sisters played the game no doubt had a couple of drinks." Grimmjow grinned as he saw the red tone and wide-eyed expressions from the Kurosaki twins.
"Oh leave them alone, we had innocent questions too." Rangiku defended, as Ichigo stared at his sisters who avoided him.
"Yeah, but how many did they drink that weren't so innocent?" Grimmjow said bluntly.
"Didn't I say to stay the fuck out of it?" Ichigo yelled out, as Orihime looked on worriedly.
"Fuck you, who said you can tell me what to do?" Grimmjow stared hard at the orange haired man who scowled back angrily.
"Let's just calm down okay?" Orihime said trying to diffuse the situation. Both continued to glare at each other as Grimmjow smirked causing Ichigo's annoyance level to rise.
"Guys just fucking relax you're ruining the mood with your bullshit," Renji growled out.
"OI RENJI!"
They heard a shout outside from the dining hall. Renji and the others looked to see the door kicked in with an upset redheaded young man who's hair was slicked back. He wore a black shirt with rolled up sleeves, showing his muscular arms that displayed his tattoos.
"Jinta?" Renji looked at him confused about his early arrival.
"What's with that fucking confused face, you asshole." He yelled lugging an army bag over his shoulder.
"Asshole? You said you'd come tonight?" Renji interjected,"What's your damn problem?"
"My problem?" Did you forget to mention to the security team that I was coming?"
Renji looked at him confused as he looked over to Byakuya who was drinking from his cup unfazed.
"Nii-sama, Why did you forget to mention to them about Jinta?" Rukia asked her brother.
"I didn't forget." He said putting his cup aside, like not a care in the world.
Jinta growled out, "Nice to see you too Byakuya, still pissed off about that tight ass comment." He sneered at the stoic man who was reading his paper.
"Why should I care about your petty comment of me, I just feel someone of no importance is really not a concern of mines." Byakuya said still reading, as the red headed young man looked at him aggravated.
"Well, hire some better security, none of that weak ass shit I left in the lobby," Jinta grinned. He looked around as if searching for someone as he saw Karin and waved to her, but did not see Yuzu. He dropped his bag on the floor and sat by Renji after giving Rukia a hug and fist bumped Renji. That's when he saw the orange haired brother glaring at him, he furrowed his brows at him in confusion than saw a familiar auburn haired girl.
"Orihime?" He said as her eyes widen from being acknowledged.
"Hello Jinta-kun," Orihime smiled.
"You've gotten prettier, you still hang around with the dragon?" He asked Orihime, as Ichigo's scowl deepened confusing the young man more.
"I have a name," Tatsuki said as he looked to see the spiky haired girl.
"Hey, Tatsuki!" He waved.
"Jinta!" she growled out. He laughed at her annoyance, but he started to scan around quickly once more searching around the table looking disappointed.
"If you're searching for Yuzu, she's right here," Karin said texting on her phone and pointing downward.
"KARIN! I told you not to do that." A cry came from under the table as Jinta looked under to see her yell.
"EEP! Oh God, don't look I'm not even ready." She covered her face, mortified that she was still in her pajamas and probably looking a mess from the hangover.
"Get up from under there and stop acting like an idiot." He laughed with his cheeks flustered as he saw her cute pouty face.
"Fine!" She came out and nervously smiled at him, " H... Hey, Jinta!"
"Hey Yuzu," he reddens at her form fitting pajamas, that's when Isshin blocked his view causing him to scowl.
"Hey there Jinta! I'm Yuzu-chan's father." He smiled but his eyes stared him down, making the younger red head uncomfortable.
"Yeah, I know who you are. You congratulated me at school for knocking Koji out." Jinta said flatly.
"Oh yeah I did... I also remember telling you that Koji is lucky I was not there. Any boy who came close to my sweet Yuzu-chan without her Papa knowing... Might never be seen again," the usually cheerful demeanor of the older man became almost menacing as he stared at the younger man. Isshin then proceeded to laugh out loud and slap Jinta hard on the shoulder.
"Just messing with you, my boy," yet the older man lingered too long on his shoulder squeezing it a bit too hard. Both men stared hard at each other.
"Tou-san! Would you leave Jinta alone," Yuzu asked her father watching the exchange nervously. The older man lets go but still eyed the younger man.
"Don't worry Yuzu-chan, just getting to know each other through friendly male bonding. Right Jinta?" He asked the boy slightly smirking.
"Yeah, friendly male bonding," he eyed the older man grinning.
"I understand that completely Isshin, nothing like a good sparring between men. Am I right Grimmjow!" Shunsui said grinning at the blue haired man who sat there silently eating.
Jinta stared at Shunsui as if realizing her was sitting there, "A...Are you Shunsui Oderschvank?"
Shunsui turned from drinking, to stare at the red haired man.
"Yes, young man," He smiled.
Jinta looked at him fascinated but suddenly turned furiously at Renji.
"Renji you asshole you never told me you knew Shunsui Oderschvank."
Renji stared at his adoptive brother annoyed," Keep calling me an asshole you piece of shit. First of all he's the father of Nel, who's friends with Tatsuki and Orihime. Secondly, he's an important longtime client to Byakuya, I didn't need you fanboying and embarrassing yourself."
"I don't fanboy...wait Nel? Neliel Oderschvank is here too?" He looked around once more confused that he hadn't spotted her when he came in, then stopped to glance at the beautiful green haired girl, as he redden avoiding her puzzled look.
Renji laughed hysterically receiving death glares from his red-headed brother.
"This is going to be interesting," Renji said as he continued to laugh.
"Care to inform us what's amusing, I like a good joke," Shunsui asked as Jinta's eyes widen, then looked at Renji like don't even say anything. Rukia looked at Renji who seemed a little hesitant as she began to talk.
"Oh Jinta stop making a big deal about it. He just idolizes you, Shunsui. Being unable to train at your dojo because of the expense, as a little boy Renji took him to see you demonstrate your style at a public event. Renji insisted on helping with the expense to go to Uderschvank dojo, but Jinta who was already invested at the dojo that Renji went to."
"Ahh I remember that...it was soo many years ago. Jushiro forced me to be a part of the Karakura Event but I have to say that was my favorite one because I introduced Nel-chan."
"Yep, Renji said Jinta became a fan instantly, following you in the news ever since..." Rukia said, then Jinta sighed with relief until Rukia decided to add one more fact, "and also followed your daughter too."
Jinta rubbed his hair in irritation. "That is quite funny, I appreciate meeting a fan. Say you know who else is a big fan of you Jinta?" Shunsui began to say.
"Father no!" Nel shouted across the table, then looked down when everyone stared.
"Maybe you shouldn't," Jushiro started to say before he was ignored by his friend who continued to ramble on.
"Why not Nel-chan? A person should know they have a fan among them," Shunsui said receiving a glare from Grimmjow. " My daughter is an avid fan of you Jinta, she follows all your fights."
Jinta flustered a little looking at Nel than gulped as he turned away. "Oh...ha-ha umm th..thanks. Wh..Which fight was it th.. that made you a fan?" He stuttered.
"AWKWARD!" Tatsuki and Karin both said laughing.
"Shut up Tatsuki!" Nel shouted
"Shut up Karin!" Yuzu shouted along with Nel in unison, both girls stared at each other and looked away from embarrassment.
Nel avoided the stares from her boyfriend as she began to answer Jinta's question. "It was when you fought Bulldog Bali, my father and Ukitake always took me whenever they did business there at Zanpaktous. He knew I enjoyed the fights while he enjoyed the drinking. Your moves caught my eye and it seemed like you were just playing with Bali. Because after the third round he shouted something and you were so upset and KO-ed him like nothing." Nel laughed causing Jinta to laugh as well.
"Oh yeah, I remember that it was my second fight at Zanpaktous."
"What did he say?" She asked curiously as Jinta's smile turned to anger.
"He told me to stop fucking around and come at him so he can finish it. He also added that my grandmother needed to take her medication and go to bed because it was getting late." He said through gritted teeth.
"Oh sorry!" Nel regretfully said, knowing it was a sore subject, Jinta's grandmother had gone to every one of his fights. She passed away after his 10th fight.
"Don't be...I'm not. I made damn sure my grandmother saw him on the floor that night."
Nel nodded as the table became awkwardly silent.
"Do you mostly KO your opponents?" Shunsui asked.
Jinta looked up as he nodded 'Yes.' "Not the ones I have respect for, I usually win by default, these fighters I respect I don't want to knock them out I usually want a good fight," Jinta said proudly.
"Care to have a friendly sparring, we are planning on having one sometime this week."
Jinta's eyes lit up as his grin grew, being able to spare with someone he looked up to.
"Of course, Oh man!" He laughed as Renji was happy with the exchange.
"That's of course if you don't mind Nel-chan, my good friend Jushiro," Jinta's nodded his approval, "And Grimmjow," then his demeanor changed to annoyance as he looked at the blue haired man and sucked his teeth.
"Is there a problem Jinta with me being there?" Grimmjow asked.
"Grimmjow, there's no issue, stop making things bigger than what they are," Renji defended.
"Oh, so you're his mouth Renji?" He asked his tattooed friend who shot him a look.
"Nah! He's not my mouth, I have a problem because I have no respect for you." Jinta said eyeing the blue haired man. " You tend to run your mouth disrespecting Rukia and Renji even if he is a moocher.."
"Moocher? Fuck you Jinta!" Renji shouted annoyed with the younger man who seemed to ignore him and continued to eye Grimmjow.
"Oh look Renji, he finds my words hurtful and not amusing. Guess what, I don't give a shit what you think. Learn to take a fucking joke. You may not respect me but you sure as hell not going to knock me out." He chuckled.
"Grimmy!" Nel put her hand on his arm as she looked at him sternly, Jinta looked at the exchange confused.
"Wait! Nel you're seeing him?" Jinta looked at her annoyed as she looked at him nodding 'yes' with a raised brow. He laughed hysterically, "Oh shit that's almost as funny as Orihime-chan with this orange-haired punk."
"Jinta!" Yuzu shouted as she nervously bit her fingernail looking at her brother's irritated face.
"What's funny about it, Jinta?" Ichigo said cracking his knuckles and balling his hand into a fist, waiting for his response.
"Just don't understand the appeal of pretty girls being with assholes," Jinta said.
"Now I remember why I wanted to beat the shit out of you," Ichigo got up trying to walk towards Jinta.
"Ichigo, W...wait," Orihime ran in front of her fiance.
"Just let him Orihime because if he doesn't I'll make sure I beat the shit out of him." Grimmjow grinned.
"Fuck you, I'm not afraid of you," just as his words were out of his mouth Jinta was quickly pulled by his collar. Grimmjow had lunged across the table, pulling the young man forward standing him up to peer at him, face to face. "You should be afraid, keep talking shit. I'll have your mouth sipping through a straw permanently." He growled angrily.
Jinta stared at him unfazed as he pushed his grip away, eyeing the man in front of him. "Fuck off!" Jinta yelled as Grimmjow made to hit but connected with Renji's arm blocking him, as Jinta was shoved back roughly into his seat.
"Jinta shut up and Grimmjow calm the hell down. Everyone needs to calm down." Renji angrily shouted, eyeing Ichigo as well.
Everyone seemed to slowly disperse, as Yuzu made her way to talk to her boyfriend but her father cheerfully grabbed her and her sister yelling something about "It's Father Daughter Time" as they made their way out the room.
Rukia gave a kiss to Renji as she noticed he wanted some alone time with his brother, " I'll wait for you upstairs okay?"
Her fiance nodded as he watched her disappear and turned and was left alone with Jinta, "Let's get you to your room."
Renji made to walk but stopped when he noticed Jinta unmoving, "Did you hear me, Damn it?"
"I heard you, why the fuck did you stop him?" Jinta angrily asked expressing his dislike with the whole altercation in his angry tone. The older red head looked at his brother and just grinned and shook his head in irritation.
"First of all, this is not the place to fight, we were having a friendly sit down. This not Zanpaktou's either where people come to eat and get entertained by a fight. It's out celebration and I will not have it ruined by stupidity."
"Well tell your friends that, I'm not the one who was trying to hit anyone." Jinta threw back referring to Ichigo and Grimmjow.
"You may not have tried to hit anyone but it was your damn mouth that started it in the first place," Renji said as Jinta crossed his arms in defeat. Renji satisfied began to speak again, "So...is there a reason you kept Yuzu and you a secret from me?" He asked curiously.
Jinta stared at him irritated, " I had to keep it from you because you tell Rukia everything and she can't keep her mouth shut." Jinta spewed.
"I don't tell her everything." He shouted causing the younger man to stare at Renji annoyed.
"Okay! Maybe I do," Renji said laughing."Have you guys... umm you know" Renji asked Jinta nervously as the younger red head looked at him confused but suddenly became mortified after figuring out what he was implying.
"Seriously Renji, No...No, we haven't," said Jinta completely red.
"Really?" Renji asked him sort of in disbelief.
"Yes Really! You damn pervert." The younger man fussed avoiding his older brother's eyes.
"Whatever prude, Come on let me show you to your room," Renji said patting the younger man's back and leaving the dining room.
Jinta picked up his army bag and slung it over his back, "Great, having to deal with pricks, this should be fun." He said as he followed Renji.
Ichigo walked through the hallways glancing at the doors as he finally reached the one he wanted. He stopped at the door with a cute Chappy bunny with auburn hair, he laughed not finding this one as annoying as his, that labeled each guest's door. He was about to knock when the door opened as Orihime rushed out the door abruptly, stopping in shock to see him.
"Oh, I was about to meet you at the lobby." She smiled giving him a light kiss. He accepted the quick kiss and noticed she changed from her pajamas to a beautiful spring white dress with spaghetti straps.
"I figured I'd meet you at your room and we can head out. How are you feeling?" He asked with his hands in his pockets, she held his arms as they walked.
"I'm fine! That miso soup helped out a lot, and my headache is gone." She said as Ichigo glanced at her critically, being satisfied that she did look much better from earlier.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked her as he watched her place her finger on her chin thinking.
"Well, how about the Kuchiki gardens, Sora and Retsu say they are beautiful, we can get some snacks in the kitchen and look I have a blanket," she said excited shoving the blanket up at him.
"Okay we'll stop by to get something for lunch," he said.
The cute couple went into the servant's kitchen as Orihime gathered little goodies into a bag. Then finding their way to the trail that led to the Kuchiki gardens that was just a quarter mile from the castle. It was so breathtakingly gorgeous that Orihime hesitated to walk or even speak, good thing Ichigo held the bag of food because she felt that she would of dropped the contents on the ground. Carefully created landscapes which held bridges that overlooked the large koi pond. Small rivers and waterfalls drifted along the gardens giving it a tranquil feel with the sound of the soft hum of rushing waters. She could also spot a zen garden with sand and rock that held carefully placed designs. Cherry blossom and bonsai trees as well as a multitude of flowers blanketed around the landscapes. Ichigo glanced at his fiance who seemed to take in everything as her expression remained in shock almost like she couldn't breath.
"Orihime? Hey, Orihime?" He noticed her wide-eyed expression glancing at him, he figured she just noticed he had been calling her.
"Sorry Ichigo, it's just so beautiful," she said continuing to glance everywhere as she was guided by her fiance to a small hill that had a great view of the pond and near flowers. Orihime laid the blanket as they sat down, overlooking the gardens.
"Lay back," Orihime said as Ichigo looked at her questioningly, as if reading his mind she began to redden, "Ummm it's just so we can glance up at the clouds, it's such a beautiful day."
Ichigo chuckled and laid back as he laid his hand out so she could place her head on his arm. He sighed as he began to rub the side of her arm holding her close to him, content with feeling her near him taking in her strawberry scent. She missed his strong arms wrapped around her as she began to cuddle against him making herself more comfortable.
"This feels nice," she said giggling, as she could feel his chin move as he sighed, "Yeah, it does."
"I heard from Sora that Rukia's sister planted all of these flowers," Orihime said.
"Yeah, Rukia mentioned something to me about Byakuya telling her a story awhile back," Ichigo said as Orihime shook her head.
"Of course, Rukia and you are friends... duh" She giggled as she covered her face in embarrassment.
"Yeah but it really is a nice garden don't feel embarrassed to tell me anything, even if I've heard it before. I love hearing you talk... plus I missed you." He said hugging her closer to him.
"I did too!" Orihime said watching the clouds pass by.
"I bet I missed you more?" Ichigo said making his fiance lift her head up to stare at him.
"I think I missed you more, it was weird sleeping alone, " she said with a sad expression. Ichigo grinned as he looked at her, loving her pouty lips.
"It did feel strange not having you near me as I slept also, but did your siblings point out that you missed your fiance because your sulking was obvious to everyone?" He looked at her as she bit her lip avoiding his stare.
"Well, I had my brothers to cheer me up, but I did miss you." She said as Ichigo playfully rolled his eyes.
"Sounds like you had fun while I was depressed all week," Ichigo teased as Orihime searched for what to say.
"Ichigo but... I didn't want to show them that I was sad. I really did miss you," she looked at him with puppy dog eyes as he began to chuckle. She sat up as he saw her expression change from a small pout to one of annoyance. He sat next to her still chuckling as he held her.
"I was just teasing Orihime," he said lifting her chin so that she faced him, but her eyes looked away. She continued to make an attempt to be upset but it only caused him to laugh even more.
"But I did miss you a lot, though, I also feel bad about having that sleepover," Orihime said glancing at him nervously.
"It's fine Orihime, but don't feel bad about having fun. I know you miss me as much as I do." He said as he moved in closer giving her a kiss, licking the bottom of her full lip. "even if I missed you more."
"Ichigo!" She said furrowing her brows at him as he smiled. He answered her with a kiss as he opened her mouth tasting her sweetness. He broke the kiss, starting to kiss her cheek then down to her neck as she giggled.
"mmm that tickles," she continued to giggle as he laid her back down, as he assaulted her neck. He began to tickle the side of her stomach causing her to laugh even more, as she began to wiggle. "Ichigo, ha ha... stop I'm ticklish..ha .. snort" he glanced up, hearing her snort as she quickly covered her face, he could see she was already turning beet red.
"That sounded cute," Ichigo said continuing to nibble on her ear lobe.
"Y...You're just saying that to make me feel better," she said with her hands still covering her face, causing her to sound low and muffled.
"I do think it sounded cute, I was not just saying it to make you feel better. If I did want to make you feel better, you know I wouldn't have an issue with that," he said licking her neck. She quickly got up leaving him dumbfounded as he sat up next to her.
"I ...I know I...Ichigo but let's not do that here," she said glancing around. He looked around as well wondering what she was trying to look for, but settled for holding her again.
"Sorry it's hard to control myself around you," he said growling in her ear, as she nodded nervously.
"I understand that feeling too, but let's just talk...o..okay?" Her lips began to quiver as she felt him close, rubbing the side of her arm.
"Okay so...let's talk," he kissed her head as she leaned onto his chest.
"Can I ask you something? … I mean you don't have to answer it if you don't want to," Orihime said.
"Okay?" He said feeling a bit uneasy, but shook his head to break his nerves.
"Have you ever thought about having children?" She asked as he felt her hold her breath.
"Yes, you're the second person to ask me that?" He chuckled as he felt her release the breath that she had been holding.
"Who?"
"Grimmjow!" He said, causing her to giggle.
"I saw Nel and Grimmjow have a disagreement about that issue, but they seemed to work through it. It's sort of the reason why I asked, I didn't want any surprises, finding out that you didn't want a family of your own." She sounded heartbroken.
"And you?" Ichigo asked her as she looked at him.
"I want children, but it's still too early." She giggled as she reddens. "I'm happy with whatever I'm blessed with but I would want to have a boy first so he..." She began as Ichigo finished her sentence.
"So he can protect the younger siblings," she looked at him wide eyed as she smiled. "I feel the same way, with myself being an older brother."
"Also with Sora being my older brother it was nice having him protecting and caring for me. I can see an orange haired boy protecting his sister," she said as she looked up at the clouds.
"I can see my son having his mother's big gentle eyes," he said lovingly.
"You're talking about me right?" Orihime said with a puzzled look as the orange haired man glanced over at her with a raised brow.
"Who else would I be talking about Orihime?" He looked at her waiting for an answer as she suddenly held her mouth to keep the laughter in.
"Oh it's not fair! I can't tease you when you look so serious," she folded her arms, her body language showing she was upset. Ichigo laughed at her display as he picked her up by the waist sitting her in front of him, surprising her as she gasped but was quickly consoled by his strong arms with a hug.
"I don't know about that Orihime, you sure know how to tease a guy," he whispered in her ear. She leaned back to stare at him confused. "That's not true, I don't tease."
"Hmm, I mean yesterday you teased me about the prospect of being with you last night," he said grinning.
"B... But the sleepover, I didn't know..." She started to say as his lips kissed her mouth preventing her from speaking.
"What about today?" He whispered, his mouth centimeters from her face, as he kissed her neck waiting for an answer.
"T...Today? Mmmmm, Like Now? Someone could see us." She said breathlessly, looking around once more.
"Or we could go back to my room," he said still kissing her neck causing her to lose her concentration.
"But what about our little picnic?" She said eyes closed feeling his soft kisses and tongue. "We didn't even eat."
"I want to eat, but what I want is not in the bag filled with food," he said as she heard a light chuckle, causing her body to heat up.
"W...what do you want to eat?" She carefully said her words as he stared closely smiling at her flushed face.
"You don't know what I want to eat...Orihime? I thought it was pretty obvious what I like to eat...Orihime. I'll give you a hint, it's so delicious and sweet to eat... Orihime." He cleverly paused after saying the word eat, she bit her lip shivering as each time he whispered when he said her name. She swallowed hard and felt her breathing becoming erratic as he leaned in closer touching her thigh.
Growl!
They both glanced at each other, as Orihime became mortified as Ichigo began to chuckle loudly.
"It seems you and I have different hunger needs," Ichigo said kissing her head, reaching for the bag of food.
"I'm not hungry," she said laughing as her stomach began to growl again, when Ichigo began to take out bread and mini pastries. "It... It wasn't my stomach growling." She said completely hypnotized with the bread Ichigo placed near her face.
"You sure Orihime? If you're not then I guess I'll eat it," Ichigo said moving the loaf away from her as her eyes followed, he watched her lips begin to tremble. Ichigo had it inches from his mouth before he saw her eyes begin to well up with tears, "I love teasing you." He said placing the mini bun into her mouth as she moaned with every chew. He couldn't help feel his jeans starting to feel more uncomfortable as he ate.
"You're so mean Ichigo," she pouted as she bit a part of her bread.
"How am I mean, you're the one who said that you weren't hungry," he laughed causing her to be even more upset.
"Well I felt bad because my stomach growls interrupted you seducing me," she said filling her mouth with bread.
"Not much of a seduction when you lose out to hunger pains." Ichigo said popping a pastry into his mouth. "Kind of makes me think if you had to choose between bread or me, I'd hate to know the outcome."
Orihime stopped mid-bite, as she seemed to be concentrating intently. "That so mean of you to even mention about choosing, Ichigo."
"So what is it?" Ichigo leaned close as he chewed, raising his brows gazing at her intently.
"You know the answer, why even ask." She laughed nervously, as he began to grin.
"Why are you not answering?" He chuckled as her eyes began to furrow as she continued to remain silent.
"I'll prove it," she said as she looked at her bread roll in her hand that was only half eaten. " Bread-chan, I'm sorry but we must part ways," she stopped when she heard Ichigo burst out laughing. Orihime turned to glance at his direction with a cute scowl as he quickly coughed trying to make a serious face for her to continue. She straighten up as she continued, " Sorry about that Bread-chan, as I was saying we must part ways. We've been together for a long time but I love Ichigo-kun, so safe travels," she said as she threw the bread into the pond. She watched as the soggy bread began to be nibbled by the koi fish in the pond as well as birds. "Bye Bread-chan" she waved sadly as she hugged her knees.
Ichigo couldn't help it, he had been holding it in this whole time as he suddenly began to laugh, causing his fiance to stare at him with a pout.
"I'm sorry Orihime, I'm truly flattered that you chose me instead of... Bread-chan, but I was teasing again." he continued to laugh, as Orihime crossed her arms.
"Awww!" She said glancing at the pond. Ichigo noticed what she was staring at as he reached into the bag to hand her a pastry bun. Her eyes lit up shouting "I love you," she leapt on top of him wrapping her arms around him giving him a swarm of kisses all over his face. She sat back down eating her bread talking while eating, " mmm... but I would of given up bread for you," she said smiling, as she finished her bread getting up.
He got up as well gathering the blanket and empty bag. He leaned in to kiss her, "I know! I would give up anything for you." He said as he held her hand as they walked.
"You shouldn't have to Ichigo." She stated with conviction.
"Come on Orihime, indulge me it's only fair, what would you have me give up?" Ichigo asked, as she bit her lip thinking.
"Chocolate?" She finally said.
"You want to know if I'd give up chocolate for you?" He asked her for confirmation as she nodded her head 'yes.'
"Hmmm, that's tough Orihime! I mean you're very tempting, but chocolate..." He slightly smiled seeing the auburn haired girl looking annoyed.
"Would you stop teasing me, Ichigo."
"I'm taking this very serious Orihime, I mean we are talking about chocolate here." He stated as she stopped to take a look at him.
"Well fine if it's that important, I think I'll head back to my room and leave so you can be alone with Chocolate-kun." She said walking ahead of him, she didn't get far, feeling her arm being held preventing her from moving forward. She looked back to see him smiling as she felt him pulling her close.
"You know..." He whispered in her ear as she shivered," Now that I think about it, you're much sweeter and tastier."
She swallowed hard as she could feel herself begin to heat up. He smiled and leaned down to give her a kiss on the mouth. After the kiss, he lingered a bit, his smiled faded to an expression of concentration, brushing the side of her face with his free hand.
"I love that we can playfully tease without fear of hurting each others feelings. I find it incredibly interesting how you can have a tea party with Yuzu and be focused and competitive in soccer with Karin. I've never talked about the future with anyone else, yet you make it so comfortable to." He continued to brush the side of her face down to her chin as he lifted it up to kiss her mouth again.
"Did my heart love til now? Forswear it, sight! For I never saw true beauty till this night." He whispered on her lips.
Orihime smiled as she hugged him, " I love when you quote Shakespeare." She held his hand as they continued walking along the path back to the Kuichiki castle. Orihime still holding Ichigo's hand, made their way to his room as she suddenly squealed in excitement. He looked at her to find her taking out her phone. "Oh Chappy Ichigo is so cute." She smiled as she snapped a photo of the pictured sign on his door. He shook his head and smiled as he waited for her to finish, when she turned and smiled putting her phone away. He opened the door as she followed him in, closing it behind them.
"Ichigo your room has a view of the gardens," Orihime shouted as she skipped to the balcony seeing the cherry blossoms sway in the wind. She felt him standing closely behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist as she leaned back into his chest.
"I'm glad you find it comfortable talking about our future, it's something that I constantly picture in my mind. I can't imagine a future without you." She turned around facing him wrapping her arms around his neck as he held onto the balconies ledge."How can your eyes tell a story of sadness but be filled with anger and determination? Yet still hold that gaze of so much compassion and love?" She told him staring into those amber eyes that could paralyze every part of her body, his stare keeping her in place yet she loved them. She lifted up to kiss him holding him close, she yelped when she felt herself being lifted up as he held her bridal style. Placing her on the bed as he laid on top passionately kissing her. He could hear her sigh with a few moans as he continued to kiss and search her body with his hands.
"Love is smoke and is made with the fume of sighs," Ichigo quoted his favorite author again causing her to giggle as she glanced at him.
"Doubt that the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move his aides, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love." Orihime's words touched his heart as he began aggressively kissing her lips and down to her neck.
"If you love me quoting Shakespeare, imagine how hard I get when you're quoting it making it sound so sexy." He said nibbling her neck.
"Mmmmm, your voice is sexy too," she moaned out feeling him lift her dress and move his hand up her thigh. He began to pull her panties down as she lifted herself up for him to remove it fully. He glanced at her gray eyes leaning down to take in her lips once more. She felt him find his way back up her dress finding his prize, brushing against her moist center with his fingers. With each light touch with his fingers, caused a moan that he captured with a kiss. He stopped to lean up and just stare at her as she opened her eyes and stared at him with red lips and flushed cheeks.
"Say something else, Orihime." He whispered to her as he began to kiss below her neck to kiss the tops of her breasts that were exposed.
"I... I can't really concentrate with...mmmmm," she moaned out when he began to slide his fingers partially into her.
"Please... I want to hear your voice," he said moving his finger into her slowly, as he could see her nod 'okay' with her eyes closed.
"B..But our love it was stronger...by far than …. the love of those who were older... than we... Of many far wiser than... WE!" She moaned loudly when he decided at that moment to shove two fingers instead.
"That's not Shakespeare but it does sound familiar, hmmmmm didn't peg you for reading Edgar Allan Poe. I think I remember the rest of the poem." He grinned pumping into her faster causing her to whimper as he continued to finish where she left off. "And neither the angels in Heaven above, nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Orihime Inoue." He watched her disappointed face as he stopped his ministrations to look at him.
"Of the beautiful Annabel Lee, it doesn't rhyme with Inoue," she said breathlessly as she corrected him. He stayed silent eyeing her as he began to lift up her dress leaving her with just a bra. she sat bare bottom on his sheets waiting patiently. He stood up lifting his shirt as Orihime had a nice view of his toned abs, he unbuckled his pants grinning at receiving her attention.
"I like my version better," he grinned.
She looked so tempting as he laid down on his bed, motioning with his finger for her to come closer. She did as she was told as she straddled him feeling his bulge through his boxer briefs he still wore. He reached over to squeeze her bottom receiving a small squeak from the already flustered auburn haired girl.
"I did mention that I was hungry," he said seriously watching the girl on top of him quietly shake her head 'yes.'
"B...But then we ate," she stuttered then felt him push her thighs down as she felt his bulge start to grow, causing her to bite her lip.
"You know I was not talking about food, Orihime." He grinned, as she nodded again crawling over with her bottom reaching his chest. Ichigo helped her reach her destination with her wet clit above his mouth.
"You can sit now," he said as she positioned her just right that she held the bed's headboard for support as his tongue entered her moist center. He spread her thighs wider as his tongue received a good portion of her delicious wetness, making it easier to shove his whole mouth in. She found herself moving her hips all around his tongue as he licked around her nub.
"mmmm oh god more," she whimpered trying to hold herself up, feeling him stick his tongue deeper into her. She lifted herself just enough to push herself back down, she did this repeatedly as she began to ride his tongue. He grabbed her bottom tightly spreading her even more wanting to taste more of her juicy center. She felt his finger start to find her anus entering her hole, this intrusion felt different, at first uncomfortable then pleasurable as she moaned. He used her juices to coat more of his finger as he entered her ass again. Feeling his tongue and his finger fill up both holes was such an incredible feeling, she felt him add another finger as she gasped feeling herself clench up.
"Just relax," she heard him mumble from under her as he continued to eat her. Holding the bed frame she relaxed letting his fingers begin to enter deeper into her backside. She rode his finger and his tongue, feeling her stomach tighten as the waves of pleasure released. He noticed her orgasm as her body became more slack after hearing her moan incredibly loud. Still mouth intact inside of her as her orgasm overflowed into his mouth, he lifted her having her lie down onto her back. Shedding the rest of his clothes, Orihime still feeling light headed and sensitive saw that he was extremely hard.
He opened her legs seeing that she was extremely wet as he positioned his member into her clit. He watched her hold her breath as he entered her slowly. Releasing it once he was fully deep inside of her, he tightened his hold onto her waist trying to control himself. The week of not having her really seemed to make him extremely sensitive. He felt he was going to cum right there and then, but he held himself as he entered her in and out with a steady pace.
"Fuck Orihime, I missed you so much I may just burst right now." He said eyes closed concentrating on slowly entering her as her walls began to tighten. "Especially when you tighten like that, your squeezing me Orihime," he said as he exited only to shove back into her a little harder.
"Oh Ichigo," she said holding the bed sheets as her thighs began to tightly wrap around his waist. He took one of her legs and lifted it up as she widen even more for him, as he rammed into her repeatedly.
"Ichigo, I... I think I'm going to cum again, mmmm you're going to fast." She moaned out loud.
"Oh god Orihime, don't ask me to slow down, I ...I can't," he growled out pumping into her deeper as he widen her legs more, extremely grateful at how flexible she was. He felt her walls tighten once again as she yelled out his name from the orgasm. Feeling her shiver caused him to cum, she gasped at how much he released into her, being glad she was on the pill. They both kissed each other breathlessly, as she tasted herself on his lips. He lifted her up from the bed as she held him tightly wrapping her legs and arms around him as he carried her into the bathroom.
Turning on the shower as they began to wash each other, while they kissed and fondled each other, causing them to have another round of sex, needing to wash each other once more. After coming from the bathroom they decided to lay back down on his bed as they laid in each others arms with no clothes nothing but themselves to keep each other warm. He heard the soft rhythm of her breathing as he looked over to find her asleep.
"Orihime?" He whispered as she continued to sleep with her mouth slightly opened. He smiled at how beautiful she slept even if she had a little bit of drool on the side of her mouth. He watched her intently, holding her close as he began to speak softly.
"She tenderly kissed me, She fondly caressed, And then I fell gently to sleep on her breast... Deeply to sleep from the heaven of her breast. When the light was extinguished, She covered me warm, And she prayed to the angels to keep me from harm... To the queen of the angels to shield me from harm." He said quoting another poem from Poe.
"I'll protect you (yawn) I'll protect you Ichigo," she sleepily said.
"That's my job Orihime, " he smiled and looked over to see that she was talking in her sleep.
"Just get behind my shield... Ichigo... before the dragon...(yawn) comes," she muttered, as he kissed her head wondering what she was dreaming about that involved dragons and shields. Feeling her warmth surrounding him, his eyes began to droop. In the middle of the day he decided to take a nap with his beautiful fiance in his arms.
How did you like Jinta-kun, I always felt he was a little punk when I read him in the manga, but then he showed his caring side when he sad and angry at Ururu getting hurt from the arrancar. I hope I conveyed that Nel and Jinta don't like each other but are just embaressed because they both admire each other and at some point in the past had a crush on each other but now respectively love someone else. I'll touch up on it more later.
I'm sorry I had to have smut (I am so bad). If you think Ichigo was OOC in this because of him quoting Shakespeare and poetry or felt it was corny. I'm sorry but I feel like Ichigo exterior projects this rough image to others but for Orihime I think he doesn't mind breaking down his walls to show his romantic side.
My favorite author and poet has always been Edgar Allen Poe, I feel like his stories and his poems always conveyed happiness at first and then it turn dark for the worse. I try to channel that with my writing and poetry I create, because life can turn dark and for the worse but I like to be the opposite of Poe's work, instead I begin with dark themes turning it to light and happiness. Edgar Allan Poe's life was interesting to me and sad, it's a shame of him losing the love of his life and you can see it in his work at how much he loved her.
I hope you enjoyed it.
