RandomHeroX: Well here's chapter five. Going back to Ichigo's thoughts. This one will be set one week after the last. Currently Ichigo was grounded severely for stealing his father's cash. House arrest is a bitch.
------------------------------------------Chapter 5: My Only Fear------------------------------------
"Ichigo after your done with the bathroom you better go back into your room!" yelled Isshin from downstairs.
"Why can't I just pay you back? Why must you force me to do these meaningless chores? People do care about me Dad. I have a life and a girlfriend. I need to get out of here and take Orihime on a date. It's been too long." Ichigo shouted.
"You're are being punished. You stole my money. You're acting as if you weren't going to get caught or something and for the whole 'I have a girlfriend' excuse won't work on me."
"Dad I haven't seen her in a week. I haven't even spoken to her in a week. Have some sympathy on me."
"No and believe me son. If she really does like you then she'll stay regardless of what's happened. Besides you were alone with her up on that mountaintop for two days. I'm sure you two were banging each other like bongo drums."
"Damnit dad, we didn't do that. Not even once and get your mind out of the gutter. I'm pretty sure I get haul your ass off to jail for dreaming of your sixteen year old son having sex with his girlfriend."
"Your mom must have cheated on me because you can't be part of me. There is no way I would have passed up a time alone in the middle of freakin' nowhere with a girl and not have sex."
"Well sorry for having respect for women and for further reference I don't want to know want kind of sexual desires you had in the days of your youth."
Ichigo closed his bedroom door and collapsed on his bed and stared at the ceiling. 'Damnit dad why do you always have to be so harsh? Ha, but he hasn't even noticed that I've been sneaking her up to my room the past week. He would probably beat my head in' Ichigo laughed in his mind. Then the weekend with Orihime flooded it's way into his daydreams. Just him and her standing waist deep in the water and kissing. The make out sessions kept rolling back into his mind while he was sleeping. 'Damn that sure was amazing and I finally said I love you to her. That felt so satisfying.'
Knock knockIchigo quickly sat up and checked out the window. Orihime had her hand against the window and was waiting for him. Ichigo opened up the window and grabbed his goddess in a sweet embrace.
"Orihime. You didn't say you were coming over today. Is there a special reason or just me?" He said with a smile.
"There is no reason. I was just bored and I didn't bother to see you yesterday so here I am"
"That's really nice, but my dad has been on my ass today. I hope you're quick on your feet because my dad could burst through the door at any moment with an excuse to make me miserable." He had a disappointed look on his face now.
Orihime kissed him and said, "I don't mind. Besides you know what tomorrow is right."
'Shit I don't know. Better look at the calendar without making it obvious.' Ichigo's vision switched to the left of her and today was December 23rd. 'What the hell is so important about tomorrow? It's Christmas Eve in America, but here it's a different kind of reason. O damn it's the couple's day tomorrow!'
"Of course it's couple's day tomorrow. Don't worry I'll do everything to get out of the house tomorrow, even if I am punished even further."
"Ichigo please that's really nice, but the last thing I want is for you to get in more trouble because of me." She said with her hands up.
"Please. Getting in trouble doesn't bother me in the slightest."
They went silent for a moment staring each other in their eyes. Ichigo couldn't help, but merely gape into those enormous pools of beauty. 'Her eyes are so big. It's almost as if they are trying to suck you in.'
There were footsteps being heard of downstairs. Ichigo looked back and realized it was his dad. "Crap he's coming upstairs. Here get inside." He quickly grabbed her and hoisted her in through the window. 'Pick quickly under the bed or in the closet' He thought
"Here sit in here and please try and stay quite. I have been meaning to have some time alone with you for a while." Said Ichigo
"Ok. You won't even know I was here." Said Orihime
Ichigo closed his closet door and leaped onto his bed making himself look as innocent as possible. The door opened and Isshin walked in with an air horn and blasted it.
"Ichigo! I am leaving for an hour to pick up some things. This house better be spotless when I return." Yelled Isshin.
"Dad you are obviously getting on in years. I cleaned the downstairs yesterday and the upstairs just an hour ago!" argued Ichigo
"I don't care. I am running out of things for you to do around here and Yuzu could really use this time off. She's the one who does all the cleaning around here and she is off enjoying herself. You probably haven't even thought of how happy you've made your sister." Said Isshin
"Dad just please go. I would like to get some alone time so I can just recollect of thoughts and get some rest." He said while looking away from his Dad.
"So that's why you want me to go so you can masturbate in your free time. Ichigo I thought having a girlfriend would change that bad habit of yours." He said in a disappointing tone.
Ichigo blushed three shades of red in a second. "Dad holy shit. I thought we agreed never to bring that up again."
"Ichigo it's perfectly normal what you did and you shouldn't be ashamed of It or anything." Said Isshin
"Well I am so leave and let me repeat. Never mention this to me again. No in fact never even think about that day just erase it from your mind." Said Ichigo.
"Yeah whatever. See you later son." Isshin walked out of the door and then quickly said "Goodbye Orihime."
"Have a nice day Mr. Kurosaki," said a muffled voice from behind the closet door.
'Damnit I keep forgetting Dad is a soul reaper. O well at least he's leaving.' He thought.
"Orihime. Come out. He obviously knows." Orihime opened the closet door and leaped out.
"So your Dad can sense my presence?" she asked.
"Yeah apparently he is a soul reaper and we can't have a moment together without him knowing. It's horrible I know, but it could be worse."
Orihime slid next to him on the bed and they were both on their backs staring at the ceiling. The silence broke when Orihime asked, "So what were you masturbating about?"
Ichigo get even deeper red than he was before 'O shit I never told her what happened in reality that day. I should tell her, but what would she think of me. I find myself a disgusting pervert so what would anyone else think. Well she knows might as well not lie to her face'
"It was you. It was the day when I was taking you on our first date and I took some medicine to make me sleep. One of the side effects of it was sexual arousal during the night and even nocturnal emissions. I was having a dream about you and everything. We were going to have sex." Ichigo was turning redder with each sentence he uttered and was looking away from her. "I woke up suddenly, but the dream ended when before anything happened. I woke up with my 'you know what' all hard. I decided to finish what I started and that's when my dad came through the door and saw me playing with myself." Ichigo body was completely red and the heat coming off his body could roast a marshmallow. Ichigo felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked back at her.
"Ichigo you don't need to ashamed other than the fact you got caught while doing it. I'm just glad I was the one in there and not someone else." She said comforting him.
Ichigo was completely relived that she was so cool with it. "Orihime how come you're taking this so well? I am appalled with myself I would just assume people would think the same thing."
"Ichigo you need to understand. I don't care what you do in your spare time. I love you for what you are. If you were to wear no clothes ever again and walk around the neighborhood naked I'll still be there beside you, but I'll be trying to put some underwear on you. I liked you back then when you were just an ordinary kid and I'll still love you when you're an ordinary adult."
"Thanks. Hey so why would you be against me being naked anyways? I thought that was like every girl's goal is too get their man to not where anything." He questioned.
"Well I don't want anyone except me to see you naked. Am I being selfish?" she said
"No course not I feel the same way about you. If anyone tries to get a glimpse of you I can promise to end them before they can tell anyone about what they saw." He turned over so he would be facing Orihime. "To put your mind at ease Little Ichi is all yours." His sight pointed downward.
She moved closer to his face and whispered "He better be." Her finger reached out and grazed his cheek. "So what was I doing in your dream."
"You know the stereotypical one. You were naked, seductive and about to have sex with me." He answered with no sign of discomfort.
"What was I wearing?" she kept smiling harder with each new question.
"What's with the inquisition? Why do you care so much of my little dream?" He questioned.
"To tell you the truth I don't know what 'gets you going' Ichigo. I could do something completely unsexy and I don't want that." She said.
"Orihime you could wear grandma panties and believe me I will still find you sexier than any other woman out there. I love it when you dress modestly like you are right now." He said with a smile and his hand traveled down her side.
"Really? Most guys want girls to dress trampy." She said with her eyebrows raised.
"Last time I checked I'm not most guys. I got powers that aren't from this world and I have respect for all things living. The one thing I have that distinguishes me is that I have you as a girlfriend and I am the only one who ever will." She said with blood rushing to his cheeks.
"Ichigo you are so innocent when it comes to this. It's almost too adorable. Why do your cheeks always flush when you say just about anything?" She said and kissed him on the nose.
"You find the answer to that and I'll find you a unicorn made of candy corn. I don't know. I try and not blush or anything, but I can't help it. I am comfortable around you, but there is apart of me that is too shy or something. If you like my blushing I guess I won't try and get rid of it." He said.
"I would love that Ichigo." Her head went down and kissed him on the lips. Ichigo opened his mouth and let her tongue into his mouth. Ichigo caressed her tongue then thought of a brilliant idea. He pushed her off "Orihime lets go on to my dad's bed. Let him sleep in our genetic filth, but let him catch us when he comes home."
"Ichigo. You're so bad, but I couldn't do that. Your dad is such a nice person" she exclaimed
"Come on a little payback for all the crap he's been making me do around here. I promise it'll be fun." He said enthusiastically.
"I don't know. I guess it would be fun from your perspective. I'm in."
"It's settled then. Let's go." Ichigo jumped of the bed and grabbed Orihime in his arms and led her down the hall. He kicked opened his dad's door and went straight for his bed. He plopped Orihime on it and jumped over her landing on her left side. Ichigo could hardly contain his urges. He attacked her lips with his own and both of them started giggling. Ichigo's tongue was licking her collarbone and started sucking on it. Orihime gave a small moan and put her hands under his shirt caressing his well-built chest. Ichigo continued to suck until he left a small mark on her. His hands slipped underneath her and were massaging her butt. Orihime was just lying back and taking all this in and waves of ecstasy rolled through her with each new touch.
Outside, a car door slammed and Isshin brought out the thing we went to go buy, a megaphone. "Ichigo you are getting a rude awakening hehehe. This is beyond fun. I should ground Karin or Yuzu next. Isshin ran upstairs with his mega phone and saw that Ichigo's door was open. He peaked inside and found nothing. 'Where is that boy. He better not has left with that girl or I'll beat him with this thing.' He thought.
Isshin then heard giggling and moaning coming from down the hall. "Ichigo you better not be doing what I think you're doing or this will be less fun than it is." He crept down the hall and put his ear to the door. Muffled sounds were coming from the inside "Ichigo please don't stop. This is too much."
Isshin grew a smile and thought 'Perfect timing there only having a little make out session, but on my bed. Do they think they would get away with this? K here I go. One. Two three.'
The door slammed open and Isshin screamed into his megaphone "HELLO ICHIGO! I HOPE I'M NOT RUINING ANYTHING!" Ichigo jumped off Orihime and onto the floor. Orihime dove under the sheets so Isshin couldn't see her.
"Dad you almost gave me a heart attack. Why would you do this to me?"
"Here's a better question. Why were you on my bed making out? Don't answer cause I already know it, trying to get back at me." He said.
Ichigo was speechless. It was as if Isshin was two steps ahead of him.
"Dad can you please leave. So I can say goodbye to her."
"Yeah Yuzu will be home in a few so dinner will be ready in a half an hour." He left with closing the door behind him Orihime got out from under the covers and dusted herself off.
"Damn who would have thought my Dad was so hard to get. He turned the tables on us. At least we weren't naked or this could have been a lot worse." He said.
"Yeah, but at least it was fun. I'll be going now. I don't want to interrupt your family's dinner." Said Orihime.
"Please it's no trouble if you stay. Yuzu usually makes an sufficient amount of food making leftovers for days." He explained
"No. No. It's fine I have to get home anyway. I have important stuff I need to take care of." She said without looking directly at Ichigo.
'She's planning something. She is being awfully suspicious, but I'll figure out eventually.' He thought
"K. Here I'll walk you to the door." He led her down the stairs and then started to hear the sounds of pitter-patter outside. Ichigo was at the bottom of the stairs and heard the television.
"Breaking News" said the anchorwomen. "There is a flash flooding warning going out to anyone in Karakura Town. Local officials say to stay indoors and to close your windows." The anchorwoman went on with the unimportant information that didn't concern Ichigo's family.
"Ichigo you better not be thinking about going outside. I on the other hand am going back to work. I can guarantee you that there will be people who need my help today. I'll make sure the local hospitals know I'm open for business." Isshin got up from the couch and grabbed his coat and medical badge. "Tell Yuzu and Karin that I won't be home for dinner and your in charge make sure they don't destroy the house and the usual. I'll be back late."
"K Dad. Save some lives. We'll be fine." He said.
Isshin left from his sight and went to the office. "Well it looks like your staying for dinner." he said with a smirk.
"Yeah. I don't want to even try and attempt it. I'll be putting both of us in danger. So what's for dinner? She questioned.
"I'll be making chicken soup. Nothing beats this weather better than soup." Said Yuzu coming out from the outside. Her umbrella was drenched and Karin came in after her.
Karin looked around the house and saw a girl next to Ichigo. She had never seen this person before. More importantly she had never seen Ichigo bring another girl other than Tatsuki and Rukia that one time. Bigger factor of this was this girl was extremely pretty. 'There is no way this person can like my brother. He couldn't get anyone with the physical beauty like this.' She thought
"Ichigo who's the person next to you? Karin questioned.
'O yeah. My sister's have never seen Orihime. Damn I wish I wouldn't have to introduce her with dad missing. Wanted to get it all done with one shot.' He thought
"O this is my girlfriend, Orihime Inoue." He said
"Hi nice to nice you." She bowed her head to Karin.
"Ichigo you have a girlfriend. That's so great. Hello my name is Yuzu. I'm Ichigo's little sister and this is Karin. We're twins." She bowed to Orihime.
"Nice to meet you Yuzu." She bowed back.
"Ichigo what did you do to this poor girl?" Karin then went to Orihime and grabbed her hand and brought her a away from Ichigo She opened up Orihime's eyes and shined a little flashlight in her eyes and looked for anything suspicious. "No. No there's no sign of drugs." She let go of Orihime and examined her carefully.
"Did he threaten you that if you didn't come back with him to his house he would kill you after he raped you and that if anyone asks you're his girlfriend?" Asked Karin.
Orihime's blood was rushing quickly to her face.
"Karin. What the hell? That's not a question that you ask a girl or even a person you barely met a minute ago. By the way what's with the inquisition? So I brought a girl home. You're acting as if I haven't done it before." Said Ichigo
"No that's not it. You brought a really hot girl home and you're not that good looking of a guy so I was wondering if you picked her off the street and were about to create a rape slash murder scene." Karin spoke
Orihime blushed that the fact that even Ichigo's family was surprised with the response she had given.
"Holy crap Karin. Where the hell do you get these sadistic ideas? No she is my girlfriend and we love each other and she will be staying with us for dinner." Ichigo said.
Karin had a stupid look on her face as if she was hit in the gut. "In love? You two have got to be screwing with me, but whatever. Let's just sit down and watch a little TV before dinnertime."
Karin sat on the floor and Ichigo and Orihime took the couch. Ichigo's arm went around the back and Orihime laid her head on his shoulder. As the show started to roll Ichigo started to whisper to Orihime "Hey I hope what my sister said didn't bother you to much. She has this overactive imagination that I will be lonely for the rest of my life because of my basic attitude."
"It's ok. I really didn't mind. It did surprise me at first, mostly cause your sister thought I was attractive, but after I put it into perspective, I really like how they think I'm too good for you."
"Wait how is that good?" pondered Ichigo.
"It's good because you're their big brother. Whether they show it or not they have respect and love you. So they must obviously accept me."
"I guess your right. God your too smart for your own good. I may just have to put you away." He said with a smirk.
"O yes I have been a bad girl." She said while giving putting her head close to his. She kissed him on the lips and Ichigo returned it.
"Get a room you two. Your distracting me from my show." Said Karin.
"I don't think you should be giving us any ideas Karin. We might just act on those and then you might be distracted from a different point of view." He said with a smile and hugging Orihime close to him. She started to blush a little bit with Ichigo's comment, but couldn't help not smiling.
"Gross. I think I'm going to go throw up. Bad images. Really bad images. I don't think I can eat dinner." Freaked Karin.
"Stop being a drama queen Karin. Dinner's ready." Said Yuzu.
The trio arrived at the table and sat down accordingly. Orihime scooted her chair closer to Ichigo. She was nervous considering this was her first real dinner with the Kurosaki family. As Yuzu said there was a big bowl of soup fresh from the stove and a kettle with what was most likely tea on the table. Orihime's nose took in the intoxicating and delicious aroma coming from it.
"Wow Yuzu. Where did you learn to cook so well you're your age? I have trouble making toast in the morning" she joked.
"It's a long story. You see once our mom died. I decided to take over the house responsibilities like cooking and cleaning. Mom was always a good cook and I always wanted to be like her. I read all her recipes and studied everything that she used to do to make the house seem as if she never left. I just hope mother is proud of me from wherever she is." Yuzu said.
"Mom couldn't be more proud of you Yuzu. Hell I'm impressed with how well you've gotten at cooking" Ichigo said.
"Thanks brother now eat before it gets cold." Yuzu demanded. Everyone got their own set of chopsticks and bowls and scooped some food to eat.
Ichigo couldn't help, but notice that Orihime was unusually tense. 'I have to make her feel more welcome, but what is there that I can do.' He thought. He then picked up his chopsticks and poked her on the shoulder. She was hesitant at first, but picked up hers and nudged him on the leg. Ichigo and Orihime kept jabbing each other with their utensils and kept giggling having way too much fun than you should at a table.
As the family was digging into their respective bowls Karin couldn't help notice the playful tension between Orihime and Ichigo. As they stated to settle down she decided to wait for the right moment.
Ichigo had stuck more noodles in his mouth. 'Damn Yuzu you sure can make a decent meal.' He was looking at Orihime and noticed she was started to relax more, almost inhaling the noodle. 'I guess my idea worked out. She's eating like she does around me.' Ichigo continued to stare at her, being reminded on how amazing she looked. 'How can you still be sexy even when you eat? I don't think anyone, even Stephen Hawking, can answer this. Ichigo questioned in his head. He stuck another helping into his mouth.
Karin broke the silence "So have you two had sex yet?"
Ichigo spewed the noodles back into his bowl and Orihime started choking. Ichigo grabbed a cup of tea and offered in to her. "Orihime here drink it all." She took the cup and gulped it down. "Karin what the hell is wrong with you? Of course we haven't." Orihime started coming through and started blushing.
"But Dad told us you did when you were gone that weekend. He said you two were having sex like nonstop." chimed in Yuzu.
Orihime was giggling with every word that was coming from this little girl's mouth.
"O my god. I can't believe rumors are even started in this household. No we didn't I can promise both of you guys this. Besides how do you even know about sex? You guys are what 11?"
"Ichigo I found out about sex last year no thanks to one of your little subscriptions was found underneath your bed" Said Yuzu.
Ichigo was getting more embarrassed 'I never had any magazines like that. O wait now I remember Keigo brought them over and he must have kicked one underneath my bed.'
"I never had a magazine like that. I have no idea what you are talking about. Can we please get back to our meals?" He shouted.
Orihime was covering her mouth trying not to let a single squeak escape her lips.
"Fine after one more question." Said Yuzu.
'God please kill me now. Why does my family have to know every single detail that goes on in my life? At least Dad isn't here. He only would have made it worse' He thought.
"Orihime, what do you honestly see in my brother. He's a good for nothing and have you seen him when he's at home. He's a mean, disturbed teenager that has wet dreams." Yuzu said.
"I don't have wet dreams. What is with you two today?" said Ichigo.
Orihime finished the bite she had put in her mouth. "Ichigo has always been here for me. He rescued me from a horrible demise, he's defended me countless times in both battle and here in school, but even before that I liked him. He was so mysterious and every waking moment I knew I had to get to know him better. Ichigo was always in my daydreams in class also, me and him on imaginary dates and weird obstacles to cross. I just couldn't get him out of my mind."
"Are you sure my brother didn't slip you any foreign substance? Ichigo is the most closed off person I know. Why would he open up to a girl of all people?" questioned Karin
"No I'm completely sober. I assure you that this is a real girl who is dating your brother with knowing what she is doing." Orihime reassured her.
She looked down at her bowl and realized it was empty. Her face colored as she looked around with everyone's bowls still half full.
"Orihime please have another serving if your still hungry. There's plenty and there is no need to be modest. That idea was quickly thrown out the window. " He said directly at Karin.
"Ichigo you knew this would happen the second we found out you were even interested in somebody." Karin said as Orihime put another half a bowl of noodle.
"Your right, but I wasn't expecting any of these questions that an eleven year old shouldn't know about yet." He raised his eyebrows to her.
The meal finished and Yuzu picked up the bowls and cleaned up after the meal. Ichigo grabbed Orihime's hand and led her upstairs back to his room. He made sure Yuzu's room was locked however because he knew a certain stuffed toy would come and get some if he knew what was going on down the hall. He opened his door and Orihime made her self to the bed. Ichigo locked it and walked in the middle of the room.
"Your family's really funny Ichigo." She said
"Is that what you call funny? I almost exploded with the things they were asking us and what's up with my Dad telling them we've had sex. I just wish my family was more normal, but what are you going to do."
"I like them. They're always concerned about you and what you do." She said while getting up from the bed and she moved next to him.
The rain was pouring even harder outside. "Yeah, but believe me it's not as glamorous as it sounds." Lightning stuck in the distance and a blinding flash of white light enclosed the room and the boom was heard immediately after. Orihime quickly grabbed Ichigo and held him close.
Orihime was shaking. "Orihime do you not like thunder?"
"No I hate loud sounds that I don't expect. I have always been afraid of this weather. When I was little, my brother would be the one I cling to until the storm passed." She answered.
'Wow. She's serious. I can't take advantage of her now. This would be way to easy.'
"Orihime. If you want we can just sit on the bed until the storm passes. I'll be the one that you can cling to this time." He offered.
"Thank you Ichigo. I'm sorry that we can't do anything." She said as he led her to his bed.
"Orihime. It's ok. Sure I thought of bringing you up here and maybe fooling around, but right now you need more than just my pleasure. Believe me I actually prefer this." He said
He lay on his back and she came up on his right side and molded her body to his making sure that every inch was touching her. Orihime was still shaking so Ichigo put his arm around her making sure she knew she ok. "It's ok. I promise the lightning won't come any nearer than it already has. The storm's moving out so the lightning is moving far away."
"Thank you Ichigo. I don't know what I would do if you weren't here right now." She said.
She seemed to relax as Ichigo kept holding her. He was rubbing her back. She had closed her eyes and Ichigo thought she had fallen asleep. Then thunder struck and she let out a squeak and moved up on Ichigo. The lights went out and Orihime screamed a little.
"Are you also afraid of the dark, Orihime?"
"Not really, but I think your sister's are." She said
Screams could be heard from down stairs and Ichigo quickly reached under his bed and picked up his flashlight. "Come with me I have the only flashlight in this house and the backup generator only works for the hospital."
"Ok." She meekly said. Ichigo turn on the flashlight and led her down the stairs.
"Karin! Yuzu! Stop freaking out! I'm here with light." He shined it in their direction. "Hurry get upstairs in your room. You guys can keep it. Me and Orihime will be fine without it." He led them to their room and gave Yuzu the flashlight.
"You know where to find me if you need me." He reassured them and closed their door.
He grabbed Orihime's hand and slowly led her down the hall. Didn't want her to trip. He eventually found the doorknob and entered his room. His window provided very little light to enter. Ichigo stopped. "Orihime it looks like you'll be staying with us. I hope you don't mind using some of my clothes to sleep in."
"Don't worry about me. I'll just sleep in what I have on now." She politely declined.
"Absolutely not. You're wearing jeans. I almost have to make myself go to sleep while wearing those. Please I have big shirts and some extra loafers you can put on. Don't worry, they're clean " He said while heading towards his drawer.
He sifted through it and found exactly what he was looking for. He handed her the clothes. "Before you change do you need to do any daily stuff like brushing your teeth or something? I have some extras so you won't be using mine or anything."
"Sure Ichigo. Is the bathroom far away?" she asked.
"Yes it's actually down the hall, but I better go make sure I do have one toothbrush left." Ichigo grabbed a box of matches and lit one and he quickly led her down the hall and entered the bathroom. He ignited another match and searched the cabinet for a toothbrush. Orihime sat on the edge of the tub and examined the parts of the room she could see 'Where could it be?' He thought 'It's got to be around here somewhere' the match burned to far down an burnt Ichigo
"Ouch." He said under his breath. He lit one more and found what he was looking for. He handed it to her and gave her the toothpaste. The light faded away and they brushed their teeth in darkness. Oddly enough they spat into the sink at the same time. He lit one more match.
"K. I'll be right outside. So when you're done changing I can escort you back." He said
"Ichigo I was thinking that maybe I could have the matches I have a few more things to do in here." He said looking down at the ground.
"Like what?" He said jokingly.
"You know I have to do things that are private." Her cheeks tinted red.
Ichigo thought about it for a second then it clicked and he himself blushed. "O. O yeah. Here please have them. I'll just you know meet you down in the room." He eventually got to his room, changed and sat on the bed leaving the door open.
'God I'm stupid. I am way to clingy. I should have known. I haven't seen her go or ask to go to the restroom today. At least she has the matches so she will eventually find her way back.'
Ichigo kept looking towards the door anticipating seeing the little flicker of light. He waited, but saw nothing coming from down the hall.
'Shit I hope she didn't lose the matches or maybe she'd still on the pot. I'm not going to think about that too hard. She should have been back by now. What if she slipped and fell and is unconscious? I have to go and see for myself' he went staggering down the hall. He noticed he was in front of the room and put his ear to the door. No sound was coming from behind it.
"Orihime, are you ok? You've been in there a while." He said
"Ichigo can you please come in. I can't find the matches anywhere." She responded
A wave of relief crashed into him. Ichigo opened the door and was basically wandering in darkness. 'How am I supposed to find what I can't see?'
"I knew this was going to happen I just didn't think this through cause I had t go to the bathroom. I'm so sorry Ichigo. I wish you could see my face and how sorry I really am." She rambled on.
"Orihime this could have happened to anyone. Besides I thought you had fallen. I was thinking of more dramatic situations." He said.
His hands were like that of a blind guys, arms out stretched and trying to find anything to help him try and figure out where he was. His hands touched something soft.
"Ichigo stop touching me you're making me blush. You can do this another time when we aren't completely in darkness," She said playfully.
"Crap sorry Orihime. It's kind of hard to see in here." he said. Moments later he stepped on the matchbox. "O here I think I found them" he picked up the box and ignited a match. Orihime was standing beside him wearing his Underoath shirt and plaid loafers.
"Thanks Ichigo. I should have paid more attention to where the box was." She said
"Again not a problem. I couldn't get mad at you even if I tried. Let's go back."
Lightning flashed again and thunder came soon after. Orihime jumped into Ichigo's arms and hugged him tightly shivering from head to toe.
While heading to his room he asked, "You weren't kidding when you said you were afraid of thunder. Is there anything else that you are afraid of?"
"Yes. I'm afraid of failing at life. I don't know what I would do if I threw away the chance at a good life my brother gave me."
They entered his room and Orihime dropped her clothes in a pile next to his dresser. They sat down on his bed at they before. "Orihime I don't think you can fail. You're the third smartest person in our class and if that didn't stick have you honestly looked at yourself lately? The girls at school are completely jealous of how much more beautiful you are. There is such a minimal chance of you being a complete bomb in life." He said
"Thanks Ichigo I really needed to hear that. Are you afraid of anything?" She said and looked up at him.
Ichigo thought about it for a second. "I'm not afraid of anything that's a tangible item or animal. If I could say I'm afraid of anything I think it would have to be losing you."
Orihime looked at if she herself was struck with lightning. Tears were forming in her eyes as he began to speak. "I don't know what I would do without you right next to me. If I could think of the ways of how you would affect my life I think the list would continue to infinity. You have influenced me to do so much in the past few years and definitely the past week. Now I couldn't think of a life without you."
Ichigo felt lips hit his almost bruising his inner lip. He couldn't help but to submit to her will as she climbed on top of him. Her legs parted as she was hovering over him. Her kissing was nothing that she has never done before. She kept repeatedly kissing him as if she hasn't seen him for years. Ichigo felt wet droplings in his cheek, but he could care less what it was. Orihime's tongue was out wanting to enter Ichigo immediately. Ichigo opened his mouth as she forced herself in. Their tongues met and Orihime was wrestling his down with such power that it was as if she had become a completely different person in just a matter of seconds. 'Holy shit. What the hell did I say to make her like this? When I figure it out I will have to write it down.' He thought.
Orihime was holding his face in place trying to consume Ichigo. His hands took a detour on her back running them up and down. The rain continued to pour creating an aura of unadulterated romance. Lightning came down once more. The thunder was louder than ever, yet had no affect on Orihime. She continued to kiss Ichigo. He pulled away and was able to squeeze this sentence out. "What happened thought you were scared of thunder?"
"Shut up and kiss me." She said gasping and grabbed his face and went in for another, but at that moment the door opened. Yuzu ran in.
"Ichigo!. Please can we stay with you tonight? That last one was really. ." Her speech stopped when she saw Orihime was on top of Ichigo "Aaah. Dad and Karin were right. I'm so sorry I interrupted." She said while covering her eyes, but still parting them a little bit.
Orihime climbed off of Ichigo and said "Yuzu you don't have to leave. Please don't worry we won't try and pull this stuff while your in here. You need your brother right now I can't stand in the way of that."
Ichigo was in awe of how well she was dealing with the situation. She wasn't blushing and was talking calmly to Yuzu even though she barely met her a few hours ago.
"Please bring Karin and tell her that it's PG and you don't need to worry. If you're still uncomfortable then I will leave and sleep downstairs."
"No. No that's fine Orihime you can stay. I'll go get Karin." Yuzu replied.
Yuzu ran down out of the room and Orihime sat down by the bed. "Orihime, you handled that so well. No sense of hesitation was in your voice. If it were me I would have been freaking out."
"I know. I freaked out too when the door opened, but then I realized your sister was scared and I saw myself in her for a moment. After I made the connection that I was talking to my younger self, made it easier for me. It's just a shame we can't continue. I was so into it. The things you said were beautiful I couldn't believe I played such an enormous role in your life even before we started dating. I couldn't resist you."
Ichigo then got up and sat next to her "Thanks Orihime. Yeah I guess you were my inspiration for a long time, but up until now is when I noticed it. You have been my driving force to get better at just about everything from school to battles to dating. The only constant in those is you."
He looked back at her and saw that her face was on the verge of tears again.
"Please don't cry even if it's one of those that is good. I don't like to see people sad." Said Ichigo. A tear streamed down her face and Ichigo whipped it away with his thumb.
'So, she was crying. Those were tears that i felt.' he thought
"I can't help it. You too have been my muse to get better at things. It's so uncanny that we share the same ideology. Also hearing these words come from your mouth it like a dream come true. I have been waiting and dreaming of you to say these kinds of things to me. Everytime I hear them it makes me so emotional that I burst into tears." She sobbed out. More tears ran down her face so she rubbed them on her sleeve.
Ichigo moved his face closer and kissed her. She kissed back and another tear ran down her face.
Karin cleared her throat and they stopped what they were doing and smiled.
"I thought you said it was PG Yuzu, but I'm watching teens making out."
"Karin why did you have to ruin it?" she then turned to Orihime and said, "That was very beautiful Orihime. I never thought anyone would feel this strongly towards brother." She ended it with a bow. Yuzu then nudged Karin.
"Yeah I thought Ichigo would be alone forever with his attitude. I'm glad he found someone he can't even compare himself to." She then bowed. Thunder crashed upon the earth and Yuzu ran for Ichigo's feet.
'I'm so glad my family took a liking towards Orihime so quickly. This just makes dating her easier with my family.' Thought Ichigo.
"Ok so how do you want to sleep tonight girls. You want to be on the bed with Ichigo or …" she was cut off by Karin.
"Actually me and Yuzu decided to take the floor so we brought our sleeping bags. You can sleep with Ichigo on the bed."
Ichigo received a surprised look on his face. "Are you sure Karin? We might just forget you two were here and might start fooling around." He joked.
"Shut up and go to bed or we'll tell Dad how you're as soft as a marshmallow and you know he'll squish you till you're nothing more." Threatened Karin. "Just thank Yuzu for convincing me to come here. I'm trusting you won't do anything while we're present."
"Thank you Yuzu" said Orihime.
"Yeah kids. Thanks for being nice to Orihime on her first visit. Although it was embarrassing for me you both we're welcoming and that's what matters." Said Ichigo.
"Yeah thank you both for welcoming me as one of the Kurosaki's. I couldn't be happier." Said Orihime gleefully.
"No problem." Yuzu and Karin said together.
Yuzu and Karin curled up really close to the bed. Lightning came down, but the sound came from miles away. Ichigo grabbed Orihime and pulled her close and gave her a kiss. He lay on his back and she was on his right side. Her body was slowly encircling him like a cocoon.
After a few minutes Ichigo said" Orihime are you awake?"
"Yeah you want to ask me something?" she questioned.
"Before I forget, Happy one week anniversary."
"Happy one week anniversary Ichigo." She repeated.
Ichigo kissed the top of her head and placed his head on the pillow. His eyelids closed and he slipped into a state of unconsciousness.
