Visitors
Ichigo was still confused about the kiss that occurred between Orihime and him. It's not like he didn't like it, it was just something he would have never expected her to do. He wanted to talk about it, but every time he knocked on her bedroom door she wouldn't answer, so he figured that she must be asleep.
The doorbell rang, stopping Ichigo from knocking again on Orihime's door. He went downstairs wondering who the visitors could be. He opened the door and was surprised to see Rukia in her human guise. Her short black hair rested freely on her shoulders, and she wore a purple tank top with white shorts. Her lime green painted toenails shown through the sparkly red flip flops she was wearing on her feet. "Hey Ichigo!"
Ichigo laughed at her appearance wondering why she was dressed like that. "What the hell are you wearing?"
Rukia punched him in the arm. "Rangiku thought it would be nice if I changed up my look a bit. We spent all day shopping, and we even went to this place where these people clean and paint your toes and fingernails for you." Rukia lifted up her hand showing Ichigo her glittery purple painted finger nails. She then walked over and placed some of the bags she had sat on the floor, on to the table.
Ichigo eyed the bags she placed on the table. There had to be at least ten to fifteen bags full of expensive clothing. "Where did you get the yen to buy all of this stuff?"
Rukia pointed out the window and at Rangiku who was standing outside talking to a man. The man looked like he was around his thirties and he wore the suit of a business man. He was probably on his way home from work. Ichigo couldn't hear what the lieutenant was saying to him, but whatever it was the man nodded his head in agreement. Rangiku smiled and flipped her long wavy orange hair exposing her breasts that were only half hidden in the short pink dress she was wearing. The man seemed to be drooling as he reached into his pocket collecting the yen he had stored in it. He gave her all of it, and she gladly accepted it, kissing the man on the cheek before walking towards Ichigo's house.
"What the hell! Why did that man just hand her all of his yen?" Ichigo couldn't believe that some random man who had no relation towards the woman, would just simply hand her so much yen. What could she have said to make him willingly give her it?
The lieutenant walked into the house and made her way into the room where Ichigo and Rukia were in. She laughed at the expression of shock on Ichigo's face as he stared at the amount of yen she had in her hand. "What? It's not my fault these human men can't resist my charm. I simply ask for yen and they give it to me!"
Rukia nodded her head agreeing with her promiscuous friend. "She's been doing this all day, and I have yet to hear someone say no to her."
"Well if she asked me I'd say no!" Ichigo laughed and ducked as the lieutenant threw a coin at him.
"Well why are the two of you here?" Ichigo didn't mind that the two soul reapers came to visit him. In fact it actually made his day, he hadn't seen Rukia and the other soul reapers in quite some time. 'I should pay Soul Society a visit soon.'
"Since you haven't been to Soul Society to visit us, we've decided to come and visit you. Rukia balled up her tiny fist and launched it at Ichigo's arm. He easily dodged it laughing as he caught the off balanced black haired lieutenant. Rukia blushed as Ichigo held her in his strong arms helping her back to her feet.
"I'm bored! Are there any places where I can get a drink?" Rangiku tapped her fingers on the table out of pure boredom. She didn't really want to come here, it was Rukia who insisted they'd stop by and pay Ichigo a visit. All she wanted to do was party and go shopping.
"How about we go get some of that soft cold milky stuff that melts in your mouth!" Rukia looked over at Rangiku and smiled, hoping that she would agree. Throughout the entire day, Rukia tried to avoid any places where Rangiku could get drinks at. She didn't want to return to Soul Society with a drunk lieutenant. She would not only be scolded for allowing her to drink, but everyone knows how Rangiku gets after she has had a few drinks.
Ichigo couldn't believe that with all that time Rukia spent in the world of the living, that she would at least know the names of things such as ice cream. "That soft cold milky stuff you're talking about is called ice cream. And yeah that sounds like a good idea." He looked over at Rangiku who was sitting in the chair with her head facing up towards the ceiling. Since she had huge white sunglasses on, he didn't know if she was awake or if she was sleeping. "Umm your treat?"
Rangiku sat up and shoved the coins and bills into her purse. "Well I cant return to Soul Society with all of it, so we might as well spend it all! But first I need a cup of Saki just one cup please!"
Rukia grabbed her friend by the arm and walked out the door with Ichigo following close behind. "No Saki! When we get back to Soul Society you can have all the Saki you want!"
The lieutenant whined about not getting her way. "Oh come on! Captain Hitsugaya is not going to let me drink, especially since I didn't finish my paperwork. He honestly thinks that I'm going to sit at a desk writing all day? Jeez for a kid he sure does act like an old man sometimes."
The three Shinigami walked into the busy streets of Karakura town. The town was busy as many people began to get out of work. Ichigo and the two lieutenants slowly walked pass a sushi bar that Chad worked at, peeking inside to see if he was working today. The place was filled with many hungry people eager to get a taste of the town's finest sushi. Ichigo spotted Chad behind the counter putting his fine knife skills to use. 'Too bad Chad is working today, I could use a guy to hang out with.'
"Ooh Ichigo! Ichigo look!" Rangiku pointed down the street at a large two story building that was almost finished being built. It was dark grey with blue and green neon lights hanging off of the windows. There stood big letters at the top of the building, that looked like they were suppose to light up but they weren't plugged in yet. The letters read 'SEDUCTION'which probably stood for the name of the place. They walked closer to get a better look of this new addition to the town.
"It's a night club." Rukia pointed to a sign that stood out in front of the building, and began reading it off. "Come join us at the Grand Opening of Seduction this Friday night! There will be great music from our DJ Akihito Mori and delicious food and drinks. Please come out and enjoy yourselves!"
Rangiku screamed with excitement, startling a little girl who was riding by on her bike. "Sounds like fun I think we should go!"
Ichigo picked up his pace as the ice cream vendor came in view. "You two can go but I don't do night clubs sorry."
"Oh come on Ichigo! You're eighteen you should be out partying and enjoying your youth! You're not going to be young forever you know!" The orange haired lieutenant looked over at her friend hoping that she could help persuade Ichigo to come along with them. Rukia looked at Ichigo trying her best to look sad. "Please Ichigo…think of this as a celebration to the end of our fighting days. And besides we'll invite Renji along so then you won't be the only guy."
Ichigo ran his fingers through his hair in exasperation. "Well ok if you can get Renji to go then I'll go." Ichigo felt that was good enough since Renji would never agree to such a thing.
Rangiku ran to catch up with Ichigo. "Then it's a deal! If we get Renji to come then you'll come too!"
Ichigo rolled his eyes and nodded at the woman. "Yeah sure whatever."
The three of them walked up to the ice cream vendor ready to spend all of the yen Rangiku made today.
Orihime watched as Ichigo left with the two female soul reapers. She seen the way Rukia looked at Ichigo, and it saddened her but angered the voice in her head. 'Hmm it seems we have competition Orihime! Don't worry I'll think of something…'
Orihime began yelling at the voice, she didn't care how crazy she looked right now. This voice was tearing her apart. "Think of what? What the hell are you talking about!"
Orihime still couldn't explain the kiss that occurred between her and Ichigo. She could still recall having no control over her body and that scared her. Whoever or whatever the voice belonged to was living within her, becoming a part of her. She didn't want to believe that was a possibility. She'd rather think that she was just going crazy then to believe that she had something, some entity living within her. She thought about telling Ichigo, but the voice told her that if she told anyone, she'll have to face the consequences. Orihime wasn't going to take that risk. If this entity could control her body and get her to kiss Ichigo, what else could it do?
