Hi Guys!! I can't wait for you read what happens next! And thank you, thank you so much for the kind reviews. Just hoping this will make you laugh and smile.

Oh also, in case anyone is interested, this is that really important article I was writing the night I procrastinated and started this fic. I also filmed and edited the video: EDIT: Sorry didn't realize links don't work here, if you go on the abcnews website, and put my name, Jamie Blanco, into the search bar, the story title is "When Blindness Comes Too Soon"

Enjoy!

Last time:

Ichigo stopped in his tracks and looked over to see the culprits.

His emotions went from protection mode, to curiosity, to fear in a few seconds flat.

Only one thought entered his mind... Oh shit!...

In through the window flew not one, not two, but three panting Shinimagi, along with Ishida and Chad -- And at the front of the group was a very pissed looking Yoruichi.

In that moment of stunned chaos, Orihime caught up to her foxy little friend and snatched him up protectively into her arms again. Ichigo was too surprised by the sudden entrance of so many people to have the good sense to continue running away.

"Wh... What's going on?... My window..." Orihime said weakly.

Ishida caught his breath and spoke up quickly, "We're sorry about the window Inoue-san. Well, first, Matsumoto-san spotted Yoruichi dragging Urahara down the street and decided to follow, and I saw them so I began running after to see what was going on. Before you knew it Sado-kun was running too, I didn't know we were coming here..."

"Shut up boy!" Yoruichi cut him off.

A very meek and nervous looking Urahara piped up from where he had been thrown on the floor, "Uh, maybe this isn't the best time or place for this."

"This is all your fault anyway Kisuke, the both of you need to learn a lesson!"

She spun suddenly and pointed her arm strait at the little animal in Orihime's arms!

The following event took place in very rapid succession.

Urahara's fan flew open and covered his eyes.

Chad and Ishida stared dumbstruck, unsure of whether Orihime was about to be attacked. Matsumoto, with a knowing look of glee, was bouncing up and down causing her breasts to jiggle wildly.

Poor Orihime protectively held even tighter onto her little friend.

And poor, poor Ichigo had nowhere to run and no time to escape. He began to pray in his head. Please, whatever all-seeing being is running the show up there, please help me out! Ichigo started to think of all the things he hadn't done in his short life. Maybe I should have taken that bath with her...I would have done anything to spend a little more time with beautiful, sweet, kind Inoue because after this...

There was a blinding light and a yell!

"Santen Kesshun!"

There was a flash and whatever demon magic Yoruichi was about to use crashed against the shield and fizzled out.

Everyone gasped. Yoruichi's eyes were wide in surprise and then narrowed in annoyance.

A wave of new found respect and affection for Orihime washed over him as he looked up at her determined face. He also noticed that her tight grip was now easing up a little bit and... was that a light blush coming up on her cheeks? He was quickly left stunned yet again by Orihime's next words.

"Leave Kurosaki-kun alone," she whispered.

You could hear a pin drop in the room. Everyone was a little taken a back. Urahara's eyebrows disappeared from sight. Matsumoto looked disappointed but now newly interested. And Ishida and Chad's mouths were hanging open.

"Ichigo? Where?" Came Chad's nervous, deep voice.

"That rat in her arms is your annoying friend Ichigo. The brat had a little mishap didn't he Kisuke," said Yoruichi giving Urahara a dangerous look, to which he gave a nervous laugh and waved his hands.

There was a terrible gagging, and a retching sound. Everyone turned quickly to see Chad vomiting out the window.

"I only just realized it," Orihime said softly getting everyone's attention back, "But what does it matter, why are you trying to blast him Yoruichi-san? That's not very nice."

SIGH...Yoruichi had had enough -- this mess had to be resolved as quickly as possible. Human, animal transformations were not something to play with and she wanted to make sure she taught everyone a lesson that they would never forget. One flash step later and she was back in control, standing behind Orihime's shoulder.

"Well if it is your precious Ichigo, then you won't mind so much if I do THIS! REVERT!!"

There was another blinding flash of light! Suddenly the cuddly little weight in Orihime's arms was getting unbearably heavy. There was no time to put him down or get away. Ichigo began to grow, his strawberry hair began to recede revealing long, lean muscular limbs.

Inoue's eyes went wide and she squealed as the weight overwhelmed her and knocked her to the ground. It wasn't a few moments later that she was staring directly into Ichigo's large amber eyes -- their faces only inches apart. A very tall, handsome and very naked Ichigo was now straddling his beautiful friend who was lying flat on the floor, his arms on either side of her head holding him up just above her…

He wanted to apologize, he wanted to explain himself, he wanted her to forgive him but right now he couldn't move and he couldn't talk. All he could do was stare back into her huge, surprised hazel eyes.

"Ku…" Orihime stared to say, but then she looked down from his face a little and noticed that she was looking at Ichigo's bare chest. "…ro…" Her gaze fell even further -- there was Ichigo's rock hard abs, "…sa…" and there was his belly button, "…ki…" and there was a golden happy trail… and there, just on top of her own pelvic region was… his, His, HIS!!!!!

"KAAaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!"

Her desperate high pitched scream could be heard for miles around....

A moment later Orihime was twitching on the floor, X's for eyes, and her tongue sticking out, her face as red as her hair…

"Inoue!!" Ichigo screamed, "Wake up, I'm so sorry! Inoue!" He yelled while shaking her shoulders.

Everyone balked at the scene.

Urahara, who was thoroughly uncomfortable, finally spoke up, "Maybe you shouldn't be trying to revive her like that while you're still naked Kurosaki-san."

Ishida plucked up the courage to walk over, one hand over his eyes the other extending a familiar piece of cloth to his pretend nemisis. "Here Kurosaki you can use my extra cape to wrap around you."

"I don't want your damn freaky capes you weirdo!!" Ichigo screamed suddenly standing up stark, bare assed naked and super pissed. Ichigo was beyond embarrassment at this point.

Meanwhile Matsumoto was laughing hysterically in corner, so hard she wasn't able to breathe! She was beating on the floor and rolling around, her own breasts ready to pop out!

"And what are you laughing at!?" Ichigo said in a dangerously low voice, suddenly releasing a significant amount of reiatsu in her direction.

Matsumoto stopped laughing, looked up appraisingly for a moment and with a smile stood up, "Nothing to laugh at." She said with a suggestive wink and proceeded to walk out of the apartment and off into the sunset.

Ichigo grumbled angrily. He looked around again, "Where's Chado."

"He jumped out the window a long time ago," said Ishida.

At least I have one friend with good sense.

Ichigo grabbed a blanket from Orhime's closet finally covering himself and settled back down at Inoue's side. He felt so guilty about all this mess; he didn't mean to scare her like this.

He had killed (or more likely mentally scarred for life) his lovely friend, his gorgeous, caring, innocent... Wait a minute... is her nose bleeding?... He also for the first time, noticed the silly grin plastered on her passed out features...

Ichigo gasped and pulled the sheet up a little higher around himself, he even felt a little violated! She had enjoyed that!!

Ichigo shook his head; What the hell was he doing, maybe this was a good sign. If she's actually attracted to me, then maybe it was ok that I was attracted to her... maybe it won't be impossible to get her to forgive me…

Yoruichi stomped her foot and stood, arms crossed over Ichigo. "If you want to learn such complicated and advanced demon art magic you come to me! Got it!?"

A bit intimidated Ichigo just nodded his head and mumbled, "Hai."

After a few seconds silence, Ichigo asked. "Did you just return, Yoruichi?"

"No, I arrived shortly after you were kidnapped."

"Then why didn't you come after me then?" He said angrily. That might have saved me from getting kissed by Chado.

"Urahara and I had some... business to attend to...."

Urahara blushed behind his fan which he promptly waved with the vigor of a bashful southern girl.
