After a lot of fighting and arguing with my muse, i've managed to write out an ending for this fic. You are currently at part 6. You have 4 more parts to go. Enjoy :)

6. Sorry

"Ah well…that…ummm…"

She nervously shifted from one foot to another, "It wasn't…invasion of my personal space. Or well it was. Except it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't slipped. So it's alright then really. Well actually it isn't really alright because you……touched my emm…you know. But I know you wouldn't do anything like that on purpose and it just happened by accident. So it's alright."

Ichigo gazed down at Inoue as she shyly glanced up at him. His lips twitched upwards slightly as he summed up their conversation in sentence, "So we're both sorry?"

Her smile was wider than his, but held the same amount of nervousness, "Yes."

As she shifted her weight from one leg to the other, her thighs rubbed together and unbidden, she recalled how nice it had felt to have him pressed against her. Or rather, she had been pressing into him. It made her slightly weak in the knees just thinking about it again.

She tried to swallow but her throat had dried up suddenly and her lips felt incredibly chapped. She licked her lips, not noticing the heat in his gaze as she did so and spoke weakly, "Well I should…go. Tatsuki-chan is waiting for me."

"Yeah…I'll see you tomorrow."

With slightly unsteady legs she made her way to Tatsuki. She was glad that was over. She really didn't want to have a repeat of such a conversation ever again. All together it was just too awkward and humiliating! To be standing in front of the boy you like and to have him say that he was sorry for accidentally fondling your breast while trying to save you from falling on your face because you slipped from the stairs in your haste!

Tatsuki asked her again if anything was wrong and this time she was able to give her best friend a more honest reply, "Everything's fine Tatsuki-chan."

Clearly she didn't believe her words but Tatsuki kept her silence. It was many hours later when a thought suddenly occurred to Orihime.

As she was brushing her teeth, it suddenly occurred to Orihime that after the fall, as she had made her way back to the classroom, Ichigo had still been lying on the floor. That meant that…Ichigo had mostly likely caught a glimpse of her underwear as well!

She was barely able to keep from letting out an embarrassed moan.
