Please forgive me for saying I was going to stop the story. I now realize how much some of you guys really like it so here you have it.
….Ichigo's pov ….
Orihime ended up having an unintended sleepover, we were becoming really close friends and…fast, I always feel at ease around her, maybe because she really reminded me of "her".
I can't wrap my head around how this turned into a sleepover, it was funny because she was rushing to make it early to work, then decided to stay till evening and then fell asleep and didn't wake, at first I was startled when I tried waking her and she didn't budge then she started snoring slightly putting me at ease.
….At dawn….
….Gen pov….
Ichigo was still in bed while Orihime did her morning exercise, she didn't seem to freak out that she slept over.
"I don't think I'm gonna go to work today, its been long I've really slept in and now I'm feeling lazy.
*dingdong*
"Huh? Who could that be this early, should I call ichigo?, it could just be a delivery guy or something. I'll just go check it out. No need to disturb him."
She went over to the door and opened it to see 3 figures outside, 2 girls and 1 guy. The girls kinda looked alike except one had black hair and the other was a light brown while the guy has pure white hair. They all looked at her and she them before the light brown haired girl spoke. "Hello, Are you Onii-chan's girlfriend?" Orihime blinked a couple of times out of confusion.
"Don't be rude Yuzu, we don't know who she is to Ichigo" the dark haired girl said smiling.
"I'm sorry, she just gets excited when she thinks of ichigo with a girl, I'm Karin and this is Yuzu my sister and he's my friend, Toshiro" she said indicating to the white haired guy, we are Ichigo's sister's"
Like she just came out of a trance she quickly made space for them to come in and said "I'm sorry, this is your home and I just let you stand outside explaining"
"It's security, you didn't know us so it had to be done. So who are you really and where's ichigo" Karin asked as they set their bags on the floor.
"oh right, how rude of me. I'm Orihime, Ichigo's friend and ichigo is still in bed" she said.
"Ohh I knew it, you really are Ichigo's girlfriend," Yuzu squeaked.
"Calm down Yuzu, she said friend not girlfriend" Karin said walking further inside the house
"Oh, sorry about that. It's just we've never really seen ichi-nii with a girl, at least not since –"
"Yuzu, Karin. What are you guys doing here, I thought you were at school?" Ichigo asked emerging from one of the staircase.
"Ichi-nii…" Yuzu squeaked running to hug her brother.
'What lovely bond' Orihime thought looking at them. While Toshiro also just stared waiting for the drama to pass.
"Ahh…I missed you too Yuzu. You can let go of me now…" he said trying to free himself from her grasp
She finally let go of him and he breathed a sigh of relief as he then asked again "Seriously… aren't you guys suppose to be in school till next week?"
"The school had a big fire accident so we were sent away till everything's fixed" Karin said.
"Oh my… hope no-one got hurt" Orihime asked.
"Nope. We all got out unscathed somehow" karin replied.
"Whew… thank goodness" Orihime said.
"I take it you've met my sisters…" he asked Orihime.
"Yes ichi-nii so she's your girlfriend right?" Yuzu asked again.
"Drop it Yuzu!" Karin yelled knocking Yuzu on the head
"No… she's my friend" he said plainly
'Ouch' Orihime said in her mind 'Why am I even affected, he said the truth after all'
"And who's this" ichigo said looking at Toshiro.
"Umm… this is my friend, his family are out of the country and so I invited him to stay with us till we are called back at school." Karin nervously but also steadily said
"Hi. I hope I'm not imposing. I can totally stay at my cousin's if it's any trouble" Toshiro said
Ichigo gave the guy a weird look and looked back at his sister then gave her a weird smile "Nah…its fine. Karin, he's your boyfriend… isn't he?"
"w-what nn no, what gave you that idea…" Karin rushed as she and Toshiro blushed.
Ichigo chuckled loudly "well fine. He can stay."
"Ichigo how did you know he was her hmm" her statement was muffled by karin's hand over her mouth. " you talk too much Yuzu"
Orihime laughed at the scenario. "I'll go to my room" Karin said carrying her bags and dragging Toshiro by the hand to follow her.
"Uhh wait up. You guys are staying in the same room?" ichigo asked.
"Well.. Yeah." Karin said like it was a dumb question.
"Oh no you don't, not on my watch at least. He'll stay in the guest room." He said sternly
"What why? It's no big deal, I'm not a kid anymore." She nagged.
"If you weren't a kid we wouldn't even be having this conversation"
"Fine do as you please" with that she stormed off to her room.
"I should go too. Come on Toshiro I'll take you to your room" Yuzu said now leaving Orihime and Ichigo in the living room.
They looked at each other.
"You have wonderful sisters. I wish I had junior sisters." She commented.
"Yeah. But they were cuter when they were little."
"I'm sure. And we might hear wedding bells soon."
"Huh? Wedding bells?" he asked confused.
"Karin and Toshiro?"
"Ohh no no no. I'm still trying to rap my head over the fact she's dating someone" he said.
"If you are like this now then are you trying to say she never had a boyfriend before or even in high school?" orihime asked.
"if she did, I certainly didn't know about it. I know she's an adult and all. But she's still my baby sister" he said.
"Cut her some slack, I have a feeling this is her first boyfriend ever..."
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"she's a tomboy and a tomboy shouldn't act all cozy and girly unless she's stupidly in love for the first time"
"Well aren't you an expert."
She hit him on his shoulder.
"Ouch. That made me hungry" he said.
"Why are you telling me?" she said walking into the kitchen.
"I thought you said you were going to take care of me."
"Me?... I said no such thing." She joked.
"Aren't you going to work?"
"Ummm… about that… I'm gonna take a day off" she replied.
"Wow. That's great so that means we can be together today? A movie perhaps?"
"I was thinking, sleeping the whole day will be good but I guess movie's good too" she said.
"Then it's settled. We'll go after breakfast"
"Why so early" she asked
"I also want us to do other things… stupid"
…..After Ichigo and Orihime left the house….
"Yuzu, I need a favor"
"What is it karin?"
"Since ichigo is out with his friend can you like leave the house too…"
"What, why… wait don't tell me.." Yuzu exclaimed
"Shhhh… he'll hear you." She said gesturing to the room above them
"Sorry…"
"So can you?. Look I really like him and I think I'm comfortable doing it with him" Karin explained
"You don't have to explain Karin, I know how much you guys love each other. I'll leave the house, be careful okay? But I do have one question, why now?"
"Ahh.. Tbh I wasn't sure myself but coming back home with him and ichigo's reaction I kind of feel really ready and he has never pressured me for it, I want to surprise him."
"Awww how sweet. It's settled, I'm leaving right away. I can't wait to be an aunt" Yuzu squeaked
"shussh Yuzu".
…A few hours later…
"Home at last… I can't believe you made me watch a romance movie." Ichigo whined
"I can't believe you made me watch a horror movie."
"2 movies in a role, I haven't done that in forever, thank you for today "hime…"
"you are welcome, "strawberry"
"Hahaha that's what you could come up with?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's cute." They stood at the door step staring at each other. He suddenly held her hands, "Really, thank you," he said moving his lips closer to hers as she just stood there waiting for impact that never came.
"Do you hear that" he asked
~hmmmm toshiro….ahnnn~
"Hear what? I don't hear anything except.." she went wide eyed
"Yeah so… it's not my imagination" He rushed into the house followed Orihime.
"It's from Karin's room" he said making his way there as orihime swiftly followed behind.
The door was ajar so he could see bits of what was going on and so could Orihime
"What the…" he almost yelled out but orihime held his mouth and managed to drag him off to his room.
"Hey! You almost made them notice you.
"I don't care about that… what if be gets her pregnant, she still needs to finish college!."
"She isn't a kid ichigo. She knows what she's doing." She said resting her palm of his shoulder.
"She's still"
"Your younger sister, yes but she's also a woman that's gonna fall in love, have urges and make her own life choices" she tried calming him.
"I took that choice away from you"
"Ohh… don't start" she started reprimanding him for bringing that topic again but instead she suddenly felt his lips on hers.
