Yo! Firstly, I don't own anything but Mio. Nuff said.

Alrighty, this is a Ichi/OC/Hichi thingy~!

So, because of Hichigo, there shall be some Lime and/or Lemon.

But, only if someone requests it!
And, uh, the bold is now Hichigo. Heheh. If anything confuses you, just ask about it. I'll explain.

Oh! Warning:

Slight RukiRenji implied.
Slight IchiRuki implied...Not really, but oh well.
Mention of food. So, if you're hungry/hate oatmeal/ do not read.
Hm...
Spider's are mentioned. I have a morbid fear of them, so I'm just warning anyone else like me that it's in here.
That's just about it. I hope you enjoy! R&R too!


Lunchtime.

It wasn't just a time for talking with friends and stealing junk food; although, he did do that once or twice.
No, it was a chance to just relax for Ichigo and not think about anything bad or stressful.

Mio munched on her oatmeal cookies unhappily.
Today, she had desided to eat by herself, in the back of the room.
'How dare he?' she thought bitterly, mauling over the events she shared with Ichigo on Sunday.

She gave him a quick glance and it caught his eye.

Sadly, being the idiot at emotions, Ichigo didn't realize that he wasn't supposed to smile and wave.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Ichigo-kun," said Michiro, fumbling with his phone.

His attention was turned to his small friend. "Huh? Why not?"

Chad nodded in agreement. "She's upset with you, Ichigo."

The boy blinked. "U-Upset? Why?"
'Oh, you should know why, idiot...'

"Word around the school," began Uryu with a smirk, "Is that you got kinda touchy with her in the park."

The boy frowned slightly, looking at her.
"..Oh..That's why Chizuru tried to choke me..."
'Why'd she tell everyone? Did she accept my apology just so I'd shut up?'

Then, another thought crossed his mind.
"Hey, Uryu, what are you doing over here?"

The dark haired boy looked at him. "Huh?"

"Well, why are you at my desk?"

The other gave a shrug.
"Chad told me to come sit you. Nothing special."
It was a small insult as if to say: I'm only over here because Chad said he'd kick my ass if I wasn't nice to you in your 'time of need'.
A.K.A, Mio and Ichigo were in a fight, and for a serious relationship that had the two eating together for six months, this was a serious thing.

Yet, by time Uryu was finished with his...'insult'...The orange haired boy was already at Mio's desk.

"Hey," he said softly.

She ignored him and turned her head to the window.

Ichigo smiled and pulled up a seat across from her.
To him, her being upset and eating a giant cookie made her look so cute.
'Like a child' some would say.
"Are we going to talk about this?"

Mio kept up her pout, still ignoring him.
Though, she did take the time to notice how good he smelled.

"Listen, Mio, I have a feeling you know what happened yesterday, and I just want to really apologize to you-"

"Cut your crap," she hissed.

Ichigo blinked. "W-What?"

"I know that wasn't you. Some pervert saw it and spread it around the school."

He was still in disbelief.
"S-so, why are you mad at me?"

The girl let out a sigh.
"What's going on, Ichigo? Why aren't you telling me anything?"

His expression turned serious.
"What are you talking about, Mio?"
He knew what she was talking about: Why isn't he telling her what really happened in those five minutes he was out? Why did he change so suddenly.
He couldn't tell her the truth. He'd already tried to tell Yuzu and Karin that he was a Shinigami Subsitute, and Yuzu kept having nightmares of him killing her.
If someone in his own family acted that way about his 'part-time job', how would Mio react to him having this thing named Hichigo inside of him?
'She'd freak out, that's what...'
It was a bitter, but true thought. Mio was almost famous for exaggerating things; once, she wouldn't kiss him for a month when she heard about that 'eating spiders in your sleep' crap.
But, he had to admit, that kinda gave him the creeps too.

!

She sighed, realizing he was going to play dumb like he always does when he gets asked questions.
Well, not all questions. Just the ones that have to deal with him being late for a date or her seeing him passed out in class and on the streets...
..Exspecially if he's in her arms.

Mio glanced over to where Rukia sat.
She didn't hate her.
She didn't dislike her.
She just couldn't stand the thought of someone so perfect stealing Ichigo away from her. Even though, she knew Rukia didn't like him-she had this thing for some redheaded creep-she just felt so inferior to the other girl.

"Mio," purred Hichigo, "How about we go somewhere more private?"

The girl blinked and nodded, getting up.
She knew something was off, but maybe if she was smart enough, she could get some answers now.
But, God, how she was scared of being alone with this 'new Ichigo'.
"Where are we going?" she asked, ignoring the looks she got from some of her classmates as they walked out the door.

"To the rooftop. There's not alot of people up there today."

'Hmph, 'cause it's fucking freezing outside!' she thought bitterly.
"Oh, alright..."
