Asuna's POV

BBBBRRRRRIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!! BBBBRRRRRIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!!

Asuna wearily reached her hand around for her phone. Once she finally got ahold of it, her got a quick glance at the time, 0645.

Five more minutes...she thought to herself, as she shut her eyes once again. She opened her eyes and saw her phone read 0705.

Asuna shot up quickly and took off into the bathroom. Not evening knocking or asking, she barged in.

Ichigo was standing there with his towel around his waist and a toothbrush in his mouth.

There was an awkward silence between them.

"Ummmmmmm...I'm using the bathroom?" Ichigo said.

Flustered Asuna ran out of the bathroom and back into her room.

She calmly sat down on her bed and tried to analyze what had just happened. Her face was beat red and a knot was tied in her stomach. She needed to apologize first off and then she needed to get ready for her job search. To try and get her mind off of what just happened, she decided to start picking out some clothes for the day.

After a bit sorting through her closet, she managed to get an outfit picked out; a white, buttonless, long sleeve blouse that came down to her waist. Along with the blouse, she decided that a citrus colored skirt that came down to her mid thigh, while adding a black leather belt, with a golden buckle around her waist. With the final touches being a small pink purse with a red strap, along with brown leather boots that came up to her ankles.

She stopped and looked at herself in the mirror. She twirled a few times to see the different angles of herself.

Perfect. If only Kirito could see me right now. How would he react? Wait.

Asuna quickly turned around and grabbed her phone and took a picture of herself in the mirror and sent to Kirito.

Now, to fix up my hair and brush my teeth.

Asuna hesitating, knocked on the door softly.

Knock knock.

No reply.

"Ichigo? Are you still in the bathroom?"

She opened the door slowly and saw there was no one in the bathroom and that the door to Ichigo's room was open. For some reason, she wanted to take a quick peels inside Ichigo's room, but she told herself that it wasn't her right to.

So, she refrained herself and started to groom herself. She started with cupping some water in her hands and rubbing it onto her face and washing away that icky feeling on her face. She then grabbed her toothbrush and started to brush her teeth. As she brushed her teeth, she wondered why her toothpaste tasted so weird, until she looked down and realized she was using Ichigo's toothpaste. It tasted like green tea. After finishing brushing her teeth, she grabbed her comb. As she finished straightening her hair, she grabbed a hair tie and began fixing her hair into the usual.

As she finished up her morning routine, she took one last look in the mirror and turned towards Ichigo's room. She decided that she should apologize for this morning, while also getting a peak inside Ichigo's room.

"Hello? Ichigo?" Asuna asked.

No response.

Asuna knocked on the door lightly. The door slowly opened and she took a small peak inside.

Ichigo's room was extremely simple. His bed in the corner with a small desk next to it. On the desk an alarm clock and a few books stacked on top of each other. Ichigo's closet was slightly opened and had all his clothes hung up. His bed was already made and the room smelled like lavender.

"Hello?" Asuna asked again.

Again, no response.

She decided that she shouldn't pry and went back into her room and grabbed her smart watch. She looked at the time saw it was already around 0730. She scheduledher interview at 0800 and it would take around 15 minutes to walk there.

Crapppppp. I better hurry!!! Asuna thought as she grabbed a breakfast snack and exited the dorm.

Asuna had arrived at the daycare and walked inside.

"Hello!" A voice greeted her.

Asuna turned her head in the direction of the noise and went that way.

"Hi! I'm here for a job application?" Asuna asked.

"Ahhh, yes, thank you for your coming. Ummmm...I think the manager is almost done with an interview, so give her a couple of minutes." the secretary lady responded.

"Okay." Asuna replied and sat down in a chair.

As she was waiting she gazed around the daycare. It was a small building, where when you entered you greeted at the front desk. Then to the left was small cubbies and coat hangers for the children. On the right side of the front desk was a small playroom with toys and a small table with some chairs.

Asuna was a bit worried about the interview, as she never had to interview in the past, because she didn't have a job in the past. Frantically, Asuna looked down at her phone and saw her screensaver of her and Kirito and she smiled. It gave her a small amount of happiness and relief. As she reminisced on their time together and voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Ms.Asuna? Are you ready?" asked the secretary.

"Yes." Asuna replied softly.

Asuna got up and walked towards the office. As she got pasted the door to the small room behind the front desk, she caught a familiar scent. It smelled like the lavender?

Ichigo's POV

BEEEEEEEEPPPPP! BEEEEEEEEEEP!

Ichigo turnedand smacked his alarm clock to turn it off. He turned his head and it read 0445.

Better get outta bed or I'm gonna stay here and fall back asleep. Ichigo thought to himself, getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom.

Ichigo realized that after the fight with the Hollow yesterday he had actually received big gash across his abdomen. He didn't remember when he got hit, but he swore he came away untouched yesterday. The cut shallow, but it was there. He grabbed some gauze outof a drawer and wrapped some around himself after applying some antibiotics. Ichigo groaned and grit his teeth when the medicine touched the wound. After he finish that up, he proceed to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Ichigo wallowed out of his bathroom and opened his closet. He grabbed a hoodie and a pair of gym shorts. He grabbed his backpack and walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and made his way to the gym. Ichigo stepped outside and the darkness enveloped him. Ichigo found it peaceful out at a time like this. No one or thing was around to make noise or chit chat. It was silent, with only the wind blowing every now and then and the bugs chirping. He started a slow jog heading to the gym nearby.

After the gym...

Ichigo exited the gym and looked at his phone 0600. He knew he had enough time to get home and shower and get ready for his interview at the daycare. He started walking home and watched the sun slowly rise over the trees and couldn't help but smile softly.

Ichigo arrived back at the dorm at 0620 and made a quick breakfast sandwich a from leftovers in the fridge. He then made his way into the bathroom and started his shower. He finished up his shower quickly and wrapped his towel along his waist and hopped in front of the mirror and started brushing his teeth once again. The door to Asuna's room flung open.

"Ummmmmmm...I'm using the bathroom?" Ichigo said.

He saw Asuna quickly shut the door. He face turned a bit red, as he too was a bit flustered.

Well, that was...something. I should apologize later for not locking the door, Ichigo thought to himself, as he left the bathroom.

Ichigo was starting to get dressed. He wore a grey long-sleeve under a blue short-sleeved hoodie, with a pair of black jeans. Ichigo looked down at his watch 0650. He then looked up where the daycare was on his phone and it was mapped out to be a 15 minute walk. He started to make his way there and forgot about the bathroom incident.

At the daycare...

Ichigo approached the door and knocked softly. The door was opened and he realized they had just opened up.

"Hey, I'm Kurosaki Ichigo and I'm here for the interview." Ichigo said.

"Hello? It's a pleasure meeting you. You are the first of a few people applying, so give it your best and if we decide to go with you congratulations!" a small lady with glasses said, as she lead Ichigo into the daycare. As he entered, he became aware of his surroundings. It was a habit of his he picked while being a Soul Reaper. It was never a bad thing to know your best exit route no matter where you were. Inside there was a front desk and to the left were cubbies and coat racks. And on the right a small playroom for children.

Ichigo was lead into a small office behind the front desk and was asked to be seated. Ichigo sat down and thought about how he had a part-time job at Unagiya Shop back at home.

Hopefully I can be more reliable here, Ichigo thought to himself, as he remembered all the times he was late to work with Ikumi.

~Sorry, I totally forgot about this!!!! I just remembered about it when I got a notification about someone's review. Hopefully I can stay consistent. Also, I always appreciate the feedback.~
