"UGH WHY IS IT SOOO DAMN HOT IN JAPAN!?" Kon yelled as he flopped on the ground of Ichigo's floor. He rolled all around the floor trying to find the perfect spot where the A/C would hit him perfectly.

Ichigo payed no mind to Kon like every other day. Today was one of those rare days where he didn't have to go out and slay a Hollow. He'd be damned before he was going to let this day go to waste. In the time he got his Soul Reaper powers he never got a break and no one was getting kidnapped or appearing out of nowhere, nope today was nice and quiet and hot and sweaty and…. Oh who the hell was he kidding!? He loved the thrill of slaying a Hollow. Today was just boring and hot.

Ichigo gave a sigh as he pulled himself up from his bed and made his way to his door.

"Hey where ya going, Ichigo?" Kon asked him. Ichigo gave no answer as he opened his room door and exited his room.

Kon gave an irritated look at the door. "FINE I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYWAYS!" Kon screamed at the door and then huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Ichigo walked out of his home and begun to walk around his town. He was bored and it was hot, maybe he'd go and get some ice-cream later on. Who knows.

'Why is it so boring today?' Ichigo thought as he crossed his arms behind his head. He leaned his head back into his arms and looked up at the bright, blazing sun. Not paying attention as to where he was walking, Ichigo crashed into someone.

Ichigo was knocked back a little but didn't fall down. The other person seemed to not have fallen either.

"Huh? Oh sorry about that." The person that crashed into him said in a spaced out voice as she bowed a little to him.

"Um, it's okay. It's my fault I wasn't looking." Ichigo rubbed the back of his head as she looked down at her.

She was rather short, but not as short as Rukia. She had on a red muscle shirt on with the number '7' on it in black. As for shorts she wore basic light blue denim shorts with rips here and there as well as fringes and for shoes she wore bright red cherry print high tops.

As for her face, well she was really pretty. She had emerald jewel like eye with a very cute button nose. Her pink hair was tied up into a high ponytail that reached her hips. She had her bangs parted to the left side mostly. As for her body shape, she looked to be very athletic. She had a nice bust too, not overly huge like Orihime's or Rangiku's. But a nice size.

He noticed that he was looking at her for too long which caused him to blush. She didn't seem to notice as she was looking to the park that was to the right side of them.

"Oh um uh. My names Ichigo Kurosaki and you are..?" Ichigo said as he tried to start a conversation with her. She gave him a dull look but none the less, she smiled at him.

"Ah, you must be him." She said as she gave him a grin. Ichigo was lost, did he know her?

"You could say I'm friends with your father." She said as she gave him a grin.

Ichigo's eyes widen, this girl knew his father. His pervy, clingy father!?

"H-how?" Ichigo asked. She turned to the park entrance and walked in. The park was practically empty. The only people there was an old couple near the fountain feeding the pigeons and an ice cream truck under the shade.

"Join me?" Sakura asked him as she walked to the ice cream truck. Ichigo followed her dumbly. He watched as she order a strawberry ice cream cone. She looked at him asking him what he wanted, "Chocolate would be fine." She gave him a nod.

That was how he found himself sitting next to one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen in his life.

They had sat under the shade of the tree on one of the benches that was scattered around the park, mostly under the line of trees that surround the park.

"How do you know my dad?" Ichigo gave a straightforward question. Sakura stopped licking her ice cream for a moment to answer him. She looked into his eyes and stared for what seemed like forever, which was really only a few seconds.

"He's old friends with my Grandfather and he invited me here. To this town." She told him. He stared at her a while longer 'til he could take in everything she said.

'Old friends with her Grandfather?' Ichigo was about to ask what he thought, but was interrupted by her.

"You should know my Grandfather. I mean after all you fought in a War with him, right?" She said as she gave him a playful smirk.

'Old man, war, me?'

Ichigo's eyes widen. "Is-is-is HE FIRST CAPTAIN YAMATO!?" From Ichigo's outburst most of the birds that were near them flew away. Ichigo had do many things going through his head. Did he hurt this girl in anyway shape or form!? Did he insult her!? Would she tell on him if he did anything to her!? WAS HE IN TROUBLE!? WHY WAS SHE HERE!?

So many things.

She gave a soft giggle, "Don't worry you're not in trouble or any of that sort. I came here on my own. No soul reapers are here but me." She smiled at him. Ichigo sighed out a breathe he didn't know he was holding.

"So you said my father invited you right?" Ichigo asked her, she gave a nod, "Why'd he invite you?"

She titled her head to the side in a very cute manner. She knitted her brows together to think of the reason why he had invited her here, to earth. She then clapped her hands together and her emerald eyes brighten.

"He invited me here to meet you." Ichigo gave a very confused face to her. She only kept nodding her head, now remembering the reason why she was here.

"He wanted me to meet you. He told me that you were someone I would like." She gave him a closed eye smiled.

Ichigo swore to himself in his mind that he would punch the living hell out of his father the next time he saw him.

"I'm sorry but he never told me anything about this or you for that matter." Ichigo said as he gave a some what forced smile to her.

She gave a confused facial expression, "Really? He told me that you would be here to come and pick me up. That's why you were walking past this park, right? He told me that I would spot you instantly with your bright orange hair."

He shook his head in denial, 'That old fool, just what the hell did he tell her about me?'

"He never even mentioned you to me." He told her. She gave him a thoughtful look and then clapped her hands together again.

"Well I'm here now and he said you would show me around this town. So why not show me around anyways since I'm new to this place." She asked him with hopeful eyes.

Ichigo ponder on what she said, 'Why the hell not. I'm not doing anything and she needs help finding where to go and besides I have to fulfill the promise the old fool made.'

"Sure why not." He gave her a smile. She returned it with an even brighter one. Her smile made him blush and even feel a little weird too.

"By the way I'm Sakura."

Fits perfectly for her hair too. Ichigo gave a small low chuckle. Who would have thought he meet someone else with hair that matched their namesake. Maybe today won't be so boring after all.

Sakura gave him a confused look towards him, but didn't ask why he chuckled. Maybe because it was about her hair and her name? Most likely it was.

"C'mon. I'll show around." He then got up and gave his hand to her. Sakura looked at it for a moment before she gave him her hand that wasn't holding her strawberry ice cream and gave him yet another pretty little smile that seemed to make him blush yet again.

This was for darksakurashadow I hope you liked it!
