The second that Toshinori saw his alpha get tackled to the floor, he let out a deafening growl that had everyone in the immediate vicinity- including the three guys that had tackled her- flinching back and freezing up automatically. Especially since he was baring his fangs again.

And was looking like he just might be deciding on whether or not to actually use them.

"Get off of my alpha now!"

Ichigo watched as the guys took a moment to literally exchange confused glances between themselves and then look at her.

She offered an awkward smile and a small finger wave before the three finally seemed to get it and scrambled off of her as fast as humanly possible. Which was much faster than even she expected.

Especially since her Angel had taken a threatening step towards them. And now with them off of her, the hulking blond reached down and grasped her arm and pulled her up off of the floor. Then once she was on her feet again, he slipped an arm around her and all but crushed her against his side as he glared at his friends and co-workers menacingly.

"Calm down Toshinori." Someone said in a slightly alarmed tone as he growled again. This time it was more in frustration than actual anger. Though he was still a bit peeved at everyone for ruining his time with his alpha.

"Angel? Calm down please." He heard Ichigo say as she reached up and began to run her hands over his face and chest in a calming manner that had the fight draining right out of him in zero point two seconds flat. And then once he was calmed down enough, she stopped running her hands over his skin and he let out a small sigh.

Because damn if it hadn't felt nice to have her hands on him.

"Thank you, alp-" She gave him a pointed look and he automatically switched over to, "Ichigo." She gave him a small smile and then wrapped her arms around his and hugged it.

He gave her a odd sort of look because she was more or less using his arm almost like a body pillow and hugging it close to her chest as he faced his friends down and simply said.

"This is my alpha. We're courting, and you're all interrupting."

Just about everyone present took off running because they weren't willing to come between an courting omega and their alpha. That's how lives got lost sometimes.

The second that they were gone, Toshinori turned his eyes to the stragglers- unsurprised that the remaining people were Aizawa, Hizashi, King Vlad, Ectoplasm and Midnight since they were the ones that he worked the closest with.

They eyed Ichigo with a mixture of annoyance and happiness for a moment or so longer and then they too scampered off to check on the kids and tell them that it was a false alarm.

The moment that he was certain that they were out of earshot, he turned to his alpha and nuzzled the top of her head lovingly and asked, "How did you get on campus without a pass?"

He already had a sneaky suspicion about the how. But having her confirm his suspicions would be nice since he could use it to give the others a heads up just in case there was a next time.

"I was on my way here and noticed at least a hundred and ten weaknesses in the defenses and security measures. So I decided to exploit one so that everyone would know that it was there."

"So you...broke in?"

Was he angry? He couldn't help but wonder since he sort of sounded angry. And yet, Ichigo seemed so pleased with herself that any feelings of anger and irritation were quickly crushed.

"Basically. But to be fair- it wouldn't be that easy for a lot of others to do so. And I was pretty determined to see you. So..." Now she seemed less pleased with herself and looked more uncertain. "Maybe I went a tad bit overboard."

He grunted and held her against his side a bit tighter as he turned them around and began to walk her to his office as he replied, "Maybe just a tad."

"I'll apologize to everyone if you need me too." She said looking more and more guilty by the second.

"That would be nice. Until then we'll have to work out a system so that you can go ahead and exploit the other weaknesses in the school's defense for us. That way we can fix them."

"That would definitely be fun. I can get really creative with it too."

He didn't comment since everyone at the school was obviously going to be jumping out of their damned skin after this. Especially when she decided to come and see him at work without any warning at all.

And he would bet just about anything that Aizawa was already plotting her untimely demise in an effort to make the school safe again. From her.

There was silence between them for a few moments before she suddenly started swearing and he stopped walking just so that he could look down and see what she was cursing about.

"W-What's wrong?"

"I think I dropped your flowers somewhere."

He blinked at this because well, she had just mentioned flowers. His flowers to be exact.

"Were they courtship flowers?" He asked curiously as he felt an odd fluttering sensation in the vicinity of his heart.

"Yes." She said sounding all kinds of irked about losing them. "They were nice ones too. Yellow roses with lavender and baby's breath."

"Oh they do sound nice." He muttered as he turned his head to eye the hallway behind him and wondered if he could find them when he heard her say,

"I'm sorry. I wanted to bring you flowers, a family heirloom, and see if I could coax you into leaving with me for dinner and a movie." She said with a slight droop of her shoulders.

He hummed and silently cursed both their lack of foresight's. But figured that she could get him flowers another time.

"Well, it's the thought that counts."

"Yeah, but I wanted to give them to you."

"I know you did." He said in a comforting tone as he moved his hand to run his fingers through her hair and stopped when he realized that the dark silk locks were significantly shorter than they had been the first two times he'd seen her.

"What happened to your hair?" He asked in dismay as he let her go so that he could check out the new cut and style. He framed her face with his large hands and turned it this way and that to see the new cut from every angle.

She grinned at him once he stopped, and pointed to the barely past her shoulder blade length tresses and then launched into this weird story about how Ginta- whom he recalled meeting that first night in the alley- had dropped by while she was asleep and decided that her long hair made her look far too feminine.

So while she was sleeping he took three entire packets of bubble gum, chewed it, and then placed it all in her hair. And since she hadn't been able to get it out any once she was awake...she'd had no choice but to cut it.

Of course she ended the story with a cheerful, "I was going to cut it anyways so that I could show off the collar," She pointed to said item that she still wore around her throat and then added, "That way when we're out in public and people say anything to me about wearing it- I can say, 'Yup, that's me omega. He gave it to me. Isn't it pretty?'"

He had no idea if she was joking or not since he was still upset about what had been done to her hair.

Still, it wasn't as if her new style was terrible or anything. It was actually very pretty on her.

He just wasn't expecting his alpha to be rocking the long-ish mullet look. But he certainly liked how her hair fell in pretty layers of wispy curls here and there around her face and down her back.

"At least tell me that Ginta didn't get away with doing that to your hair." He finally said.

"Nope. He's going to be scrubbing toilets with a toothbrush for a month." She said jovially. He blinked at her again because he'd never heard of an alpha punishing someone in such a cruel and unusual way before. Sure he'd heard of people being punished via spankings and being put in the corner and even being sent to bed without dinner.

But scrubbing toilets for a month with a toothbrush?

Gross.

"He isn't going to be using the toothbrush afterwards is he?" He asked in horror. While thinking that it just wasn't sanitary to do that to a kid. Or anyone else for that matter.

"Ew. No." She said with a disgusted look on her face. "Even I'm not that cruel. Besides, making mischief is a minor offense. Even in my pack. If he'd done something like set my hair on fire and stood there and let me burn while he laughed, then it would be different."

"O-Oh." He said feeling somewhat relieved as he reached out and opened the door to his office and then held it for her so that she could enter first.

She muttered a soft thank you as she stepped inside of the room and then waited for him to step through the door and lock it behind him, to keep nosy people out of their business.

Once that was done, he reached out and grasped the front of her shirt and pulled her back against him so that he could kiss her. And since it was their first actual kiss, he felt no need to hold back any.

Which was nice since it was a good way to test the waters a bit and see if she felt as strong a spark of attraction towards him, as he did for her.

Ichigo was a tad bit startled by the kiss. He knew that much thanks to the awkward flailing she did when he wrapped his arms around her. And tangled his fingers in her hair so that he can tip her head back and have better access to her mouth.

Her lips part easily underneath his own, and her tongue duels with his for dominance.

She tasted so sweet.

Like nothing he'd ever had on his lips before. And the fact that her slightly smaller body practically melted into him sends all kinds of naughty thoughts and visions flitting through his brain. So much so that he released her hair so that he could grasp her hips and pull her flush with his own. Slipping his large hands down so that his hands were resting on her ass, he lifted her up a tad bit so that she could feel his growing arousal pressing against her clothed core.

Eliciting a moan from her as they broke apart for air.

"Sweet girl," He murmured breathlessly as he stared down at her flushed face with stormy blue eyes. "Do you know what you do to me?"

"I'm beginning to get a pretty good idea, yeah." She muttered after a moment or so.

He hummed and slowly released her so that the two of them wouldn't wind up fucking in his office. Since he knew that that was what would happen if he didn't get his hands off of her.

Right fucking now!

The two of them put a little bit of space- and his couch- between them and made an attempt to collect themselves while making small talk. He asked about her day. She told him a bit more than what happened to her hair. Then she asked about his.

It was fine until the alarm went off and he had to evacuate the kids. She winced a little bit and apologized for scaring everyone. And he asked her what sort of plans for dinner and the movie she'd mentioned previously, she had.

She told him that either they could go out to a nice place, and possibly risk spontaneously combusting in some upscale place. Or she could cook for him at her home and they could get comfy on her couch and watch a movie, make out- see if her bed wouldn't break if they fucked like bunnies.

It sounded like a damned good plan to him all things considered.

And though he doubted that they'd actually end up in bed together so soon...he liked the way that she thought.
