A/N: Chapter 3! The outfit I describe Hisagi wearing in this chapter is based off of an outfit he wears in a Bleach OVA extra just in case you were wondering. Now I would like to apologize for the lateness of this chapter. As you know I just went on a week trip to Disneyland so I couldn't write while I was there, and then I went to the Gay Pride Parade in Calgary so again I wasn't writing anything! But when I got all settled at home I started writing like mad. I don't know if any of you actually care about this fic but if you do and were waiting for more chapters I'm sorry about the long break. Now, here is chapter 3!
Chapter 3: Hotel Madness
The Grand Californian Hotel. Let's just say it really lived up to its name. Before Ichigo walked through the front doors he was shocked enough with how great the outside of the hotel looked, all grand and Californian like, but when he walked into the actual hotel him and everyone else gasped, half from amazement and half from the blast of cold air that met them. The first thing everyone noticed obviously was that cold air. It was a boiling 32 degrees Celsius outside and everyone was sweating, dragging their feet and complaining that they couldn't go on any longer but that mood completely changed when they entered the hotel. The place was huge, and this was just the lobby. The ceiling was extremely high and arched with dark wood. The whole place was made of dark wood. The wood was shining like they polished it every day or something. The lobby could probably fit a thousand people, it was huge. The center was a big carpeted area, hardwood flooring and occasional pillars stretching up to the ceiling around it, filled with really soft looking couches that looked really welcoming to rest on right now. There were fancy looking tables beside all the couches and in one of the corners there was a huge black piano that had someone playing nice music on it. There was a huge, and by huge I mean actually huge like something a giant would use fireplace that almost covered the entire east wall, though inside that fireplace only a regular sized fire crackled. Tucked into one of the corners was a guest services booth and beside the group of Shinigami there was a long check in desk stretching almost from one wall to the other lined with computers and workers wearing green vested uniforms. Ichigo wondered how the hell the Shinigami Women's Association had enough money to pay for so many guests at such a hotel.
"This is pretty awesome." Rukia's voice sounded beside Ichigo. He nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, it really is."
"I wonder if the rooms have nice beds." Renji's voice broke into Ichigo's thoughts. Ichigo turned around to see the guy with his hands lazily in his pockets giving out a huge yawn.
"Of course the beds will be nice," Ichigo snorted, "I'd be damn shocked if they weren't."
Speaking of rooms and hotel beds Ichigo looked up at the lobby once more and saw that stretching along the sides of the lobby were long balcony type things, five levels of them, with shining wooden railings. Beyond the railings were doors leading presumably to some of the many hotel rooms they had in this place. That was a pretty nice idea; you'd step out of your hotel room in the morning and see the lobby laid out before you.
"I hope we're in one of those rooms," Ichigo said a little eagerly. He inspected more and saw gift shops and snack shops tucked under the balconies to their left. Glass automatic doors were placed randomly everywhere leading to the outside, and straight to the left was a set of big, shiny stairs followed by some elevators.
"Everyone, I'm going to go check us all in. You all wait here, it shouldn't take too long." Ukitake's voice rang throughout the crowd. The man turned around with a huge smile on his face and headed for the check-in counter.
"This will be the perfect time for us to decide on who will be in what room." Someone spoke in the midst of the group, and everyone turned their attention to that person. It was the woman named Nanao. "Gather around everyone."
"How much rooms do we have booked?"
Ichigo saw that it was Hisagi who asked the question. All the Shinigami were wearing pretty creepy outfits but Hisagi's was by far the creepiest. He was wearing a completely abnormal tank top that you couldn't really even call a tank top; it was basically a black fish net shaped into a shirt so you could clearly see his well muscled chest. He also wore short jean shorts that looked like they might be meant for women. Ichigo couldn't understand how he had ever come across that outfit. These Shinigami were crazy.
"We have four rooms booked, 2 queen sized beds and 1 top-bunk-bed in each, so we should be able to fit 8 people in each room if we are willing share beds." Nanao said answering Hisagi's question. Ichigo thought this all through in his head. So basically in one room they'd have two beds, two people on each bed, and then a top-bunk-bed, which would have two people on the bottom and two people on the top. Queen beds were pretty big so sharing shouldn't be a problem. The only thing he was worried about right now was who he'd be sharing a room with. He looked around uneasily and stopped his gaze at Kenpachi. Shockingly enough Kenpachi hadn't noticed him yet the whole time they had been on this trip. If Ichigo had to be in the same room as Kenpachi Ichigo knew he'd probably try to kill him in his sleep just for the fun of it.
"So what are the room arrangements going to be?" Tatsuki spoke up. Ichigo looked over at her surprised at how she had been reacting to be being surrounded by a bunch of Shinigami. She had only recently learned of the existence of Shinigami and now she was going on a trip with a whole bunch of them but she didn't seem nervous or anything like that in the slightest.
Nanao spoke loud so everyone could hear. "Naturally we'll have men and women in separate rooms. Two rooms for the men and two rooms for the woman. Preferably we'll have people closest in age in the same rooms."
Rangiku's voice broke the air almost as soon as Nanao finished speaking. "If we do it like that then I won't be able to sleep in the same room as my Taicho!"
Hitsugaya jolted beside Rangiku, "I wouldn't want to share the same room as you anyways!" He snapped.
Nanao completely ignored what Rangiku had to say, "Let's say in one room we'll have me, Rangiku-san, Nemu-san, Hinamori-san, Unohana- taicho, Yoruichi-san, and Soifon- taicho, then in the next room we'll have—"
"But I wanna be with Hitsugaya Taichooooo!" Rangiku whined.
Nanao ignored her again and continued, "In the next room we'll have Rukia-chan, Orihime-san, Honda-san and Arisawa-san."
Rangiku spoke up yet again, "But then they only have four people! Can I join them too?"
Nanao sighed as though she was growing tired of Rangiku's interruptions. She turned to the woman and glared. "Fine, you can join them too."
"We have someone else to join them as well." Yumichika suddenly spoke up from beside Kenpachi. Ichigo ducked slightly behind Rukia in case he somehow noticed him, "The lieutenant of our squad came along on this trip too."
"Yachiru-chan?" Nanao jumped and her glasses almost fell off of her face, "But I thought she wasn't coming? And I didn't see her on the plane or anything!"
"She's in my suitcase." Kenpachi's dark voice rumbled around the crowd suddenly and everyone froze. Ichigo's eyes flew wide open. He had that little girl in his suitcase? How was she breathing? Or more importantly how the hell did that get past security? "We thought we'd save some money and not pay for her flight ticket."
"IN YOUR SUITCASE?" Nanao jumped again and looked like she's have a heart attack. She turned furiously to Kenpachi and looked like she'd yell again but after what seemed like a lot of struggle she just sighed, "Fine okay, whatever, the second room will have Rukia-chan, Orihime-san, Honda-san, Arisawa-san, Rangiku-san and Yachiru-chan."
Ichigo wondered if anyone in the lobby was watching this crazy group of people work out their room arrangements. It would give anyone quiet a laugh.
"Now, the third room will have Zaraki- taicho, Yumichika-san, Ikkaku-san, Hisagi-san, Izuru- san, Kyoraku- taicho, Ukitake- taicho and Urahara-san."
A thought snapped in Ichigo's head. Byakuya's name wasn't called in that list. That only meant…
"The forth room will have Kurosaki-san, Abarai-san, Yasutora-san, Uryuu-san, Hitsugaya- taicho, and Kuchiki-taicho."
Ichigo was in the same room as Byakuya. Somehow that fact made Ichigo extremely nervous.
"H-hey wait, why am I in the room as the younger boys?" Hitsugaya's voice snaked through the crowd. A shiver trailed up everyone's back at the sound of the dark voice he used. Ichigo turned to look at him and saw his small fists shaking with fury.
"Don't take it personally." Nanao said trying to calm him down, "Kuchiki-taicho is as well. It's just because the other male room can't fit anymore people."
Ichigo glanced a little nervously at Byakuya to see how he was reacting to getting stuck with the 'young boys'. His expression was emotionless as usual. Ichigo then pictured what kind of face Byakuya would have if Ichigo showed him the picture he took of him sleeping on the plane.
"Perhaps Hisagi-san and Izuru-san would be better fit into this room?" Hitsugaya said obviously trying to keep calm.
"You and Kuchiki-taicho know these boys better than them so its better this way. Let's just stick with these room arrangements and forget any problems we have, okay?" Nanao said looking suddenly extremely tired. All of the Shinigami sighed as though they had their own complaints that they were going to say.
"Everyone, I have the rooms!" Ukitake's voice broke into the crowd and everyone's attention snapped to him, "103, 104, 105 and 106." He pointed to the first balcony above everybody's head, "Right up there!"
"Yes!" Ichigo couldn't stop his excited burst at getting the room he wanted. As soon as he let it out he regretted it. He knew what was going to happen next. Rukia spoke up just as he expected.
"You'reenjoying yourself!" Rukia yelled from behind Ichigo, "I knew you couldn't stay upset about going on this trip forever."
Ichigo spun around and glared at Rukia like he wanted to murder her, "I'm not enjoying myself; I'm just voicing my agreement with the room arrangements!" He yelled not even sure why he was protesting. Somehow he just didn't want to admit any sort of defeat to Rukia.
"Whatever you say." Rukia smirked crossing her arms, "You can protest all you want but eventually you'll crack."
Ichigo clenched his fist and opened his mouth to argue more but he suddenly found himself being trampled over by the group of Shinigami. "Gaaah!" Ichigo yelled into the air before he collapsed to the ground and was stepped over repeatedly, "Are you guys blind?" He yelled, "There's a person down here you know!"
"Come on Ichigo!" Suddenly as soon as the last person stepped over Ichigo he could feel Rukia's hands clamp over his head and before he knew what was happening he was being dragged across the lobby.
"Heeey! What the hell are you doing? I can walk on my own!"
After a quick argument with Rukia about how despite the fact that he was just trampled on he could still use his legs and after a quick walk up the wide elegant stairs leading up to the second floor and balcony and also stretching off to some hallways Ichigo finally reached his room, room 106.
Renji and the rest of his roommates were already at the door.
"Who's got a key?" Ichigo asked brushing off dust and footprints from his freshly trampled shirt.
"Ukitake gave me seven." Hitsugaya grumbled still looking upset about being in the same room as them. As Hitsugaya held up the key cards to the room and quickly passed them out to everyone before he turned to open the door Ichigo turned around to look more around the area. There was a line of rooms on one side of the hallway he was standing in and the wide open balcony looking over the lobby on the other side. There were plants and painting and pretty lights to decorate the place. The lights were dim and yellow bringing an elegant theme to everything. Somehow Ichigo hadn't noticed it before but as be walked over to the balcony and looked at the scene before him he saw many huge, beautiful chandeliers hanging from the lobby ceiling. Ichigo quickly whipped out his camera and snapped a picture of the lobby below him and the awesome chandeliers before turning around just in time for the door lock to beep open and watched as Renji opened the cream white door to their room.
The room was just as it was supposed to be. After a small hallway the room opened up and there were two queen sized beds almost side by side against the right wall, and pressed against the left wall was a top-bunk-bed that left quiet enough room for someone to sit up on the top bed without hitting their head on the ceiling. To Renji's great pleasure the beds looks extremely soft and comfortable, and Ichigo could imagine falling asleep on them very fast. The walls of the hotel room were striped light yellow and white and there were a few paintings of attractions at Disneyland that blended very well with the room. The small hallway that opened up into the room had a plastic mat presumably for shoes. Almost straight to the right the hallway opened into a small area with a rack of towels and two sinks on a large green marble counter that had more than enough room for everyone's stuff. To the right of this bathroom like area was a sliding door that opened up to a tiled room with a shower in it and a toilet. Across the hotel room there was a huge window directly in front of them on the farthest wall that showed a small portion of the city of California bathing in the red light of the now setting sun. There was a large round glass topped table tucked into a corner with some soft looking chairs around it and there was a dark wood cabinet with a mini-fridge and T.V. All in all this room was extremely nice.
The first motion anyone made after entering this room was from Renji, who without saying a word dropped his suitcase, walked straight towards the nearest queen bed and flopped down onto it without even taking off his shoes.
"How many of us do we have here?" Hitsugaya ignored Renji's action and rolled his suitcase into the middle of the room so he could turn around and count everyone, "6 people. 4 people will have to share and 2 of us will get our own beds."
"You and Kuchiki can have your own beds," Chad mumbled as he slipped off his shoes, "You guys can have the top-bunk-bed since the beds are smaller."
"Thank you." Hitsugaya said sliding his suitcase by the top-bunk-bed, "Kuchiki, you can have the bottom bunk."
Byakuya nodded gruffly. Ichigo realized that he hadn't said anything yet for this whole trip.
"Do you think you'll have fun on this trip?" Ichigo suddenly asked turning to Byakuya deciding maybe he should try making some conversation.
Byakuya turned his head to Ichigo and glared. Ichigo gulped. "I came because Rukia told me I should come." He said with the biggest lack of emotion Ichigo had ever heard in his voice.
"Oh… then we're in the same boat. Rukia told me to come too."
Byakuya completely ignored Ichigo's sentence and turned his head away again. Ichigo gained a disgruntled expression. Why did the guy have to be so gloomy?
"I think I'm going to shower." Ishida said breaking the slightly awkward silence that had formed. "Unless anyone wants to go first?"
"You can go," Hitsugaya said, "I'll shower later in the night, for now I've got to go do something."
"What do ya gotta do?" Ichigo asked.
Hitsugaya leaned down to unzip his suitcase, "I'm going to go met up with Matsumoto in the lobby. She wants me to come with her to check out the hotel for a good place to eat breakfast tomorrow." He pulled open his suitcase and mumbled something like 'honestly, am I her babysitter?'
Ichigo watched as Hitsugaya quickly whipped out a t-shirt from his suitcase and slipped of the long sleeved one he was currently wearing. Ichigo's jaw dropped at what was revealed when he took off that shirt. Hitsugaya was sporting one of the most rock hard rack of abs Ichigo had every seen. That guy had muscles! For such a small guy of 4'4" Ichigo didn't expect that at all, but then again he was a captain. The funny thing was that for a guy so small those abs actually look pretty natural on him in a way Ichigo couldn't explain.
"Whoa, Toushiro! You've nice got abs!" Ichigo gapped unable to help himself.
Hitsugaya whipped his head up at Ichigo's comment with a blush splashed across his face. Ichigo was still gapping, "W-What the hell? Is it really that shocking?" Hitsugaya turned around and quickly slipped his t-shirt on in less then a second and then turned again to hurry past Ichigo. He looked like he wanted to get out of that room as fast as he could, "I'll be back later." He said and left the room without another word, slamming the door behind him.
Ishida sighed once Hitsugaya left, "Kurosaki, please try to keep your inappropriate comments to yourself."
Ichigo made a screwed up face, "Inappropriate comments?"
"Well yeah." Ishida sighed again and shook his head, "You probably made Hitsugaya-san feel uncomfortable. Think of it like Kenpachi coming up to you while you were changing and suddenly saying, 'Ichigo, you've got nice abs'."
Ichigo's heart gave a sickening lurch of disgust as he imagined the scenario in his head, "That's just creepy!"
"Exactly." Ishida said.
"But I'm not like Kenpachi, so that's a bad example."
"Whatever." Ishida whipped a towel out of nowhere and passed Ichigo to open the sliding door to the bathroom, "Just set up your suitcase or something and think of a way to communicate with people without making it extremely awkward for the other person." Ishida finished with that and then slammed the door behind him. Ichigo furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't act like you're my mother!" He yelled after Ishida who's only response was the sound of the shower turning on. Ichigo grumbled and finally took off his shoes to enter more into the room. He glanced over at Renji who was already snoring slightly. He was belly down on the bed still fully dressed in his clothing and shoes. The guy must have been really tired.
A sudden click and soft slam sounded behind Ichigo. He whipped around to see Byakuya completely gone; the only thing remaining was his suitcase which was leaning against the wall. He must have left the room. Ichigo shrugged. He didn't really care as long as Byakuya didn't go and get himself lost which was highly unlikely.
Ichigo dragged his suitcase into the middle of the room and laid it down, suddenly realizing how tired his legs were. He sat down on the second bed beside the one that Renji was sleeping on and gave out a sigh of happiness, "This bed is really soft!" He said and flopped down onto it. He almost sunk into the soft mattress. The layers of blankets had an oddly fresh sent that made Ichigo feel like he could fall asleep on the spot.
"I'll share a bed with Abarai-san." Chad's deep voice suddenly sounded behind Ichigo by the window and a couple of seconds later the guy lumbered up to the bed Renji was sleeping on.
"You sure?" Ichigo asked. He thought Chad would want to share with him or Ishida considering he was more friends with them than he was friends with Renji.
"Yeah, I don't move around much in my sleep which I think would be good for Abarai-san since he seems so tired." Chad took a water bottle out from his backpack and took a long drink. He made Ichigo realize that along with having tired legs he was also extremely thirsty.
"Suit yourself." Ichigo said with a yawn ignoring his need for a drink. A sudden strong sleepy mist overcame him as he sunk deeper into the bed and he gave out another bigger yawn. Ichigo removed his shirt and threw it on top of his suitcase, "I think I'll go to sleep soon." He said stretching his arms and legs like a cat. Ichigo was perfectly content as he lay in that bed but then something suddenly broke the quiet air.
"Pssst."
The whisper came out of nowhere.
Ichigo and Chad froze.
"What was that?" Ichigo asked sitting up in the bed and looking around wildly.
Chad turned around, "I think it was Abarai-san."
"Is Byakuya in here?" The whisper was so faint Ichigo barely heard it but he could defiantly tell it was Renji. Ichigo jumped off of the bed and in one quick motion gripped the back of Renji's collar and lifted him up off the bed.
"So you weren't asleep were you?"
"Arrrgh!" Renji gave a great grunt as Ichigo lifted him up, "Lay off me!" He said squirming out of Ichigo's grip and slapping his hand away. Ichigo dropped him and Renji landed belly down on the bed again. He grunted and heaved himself up into a sitting position.
"Byakuya left extremely quietly a while ago," Ichigo said answering Renji's question and crossing his arms, "Why do you ask?"
Renji didn't respond. He crossed his legs and looked down at the bed with cloudy eyes. Ichigo clenched his fist.
"Don't act so mysterious!" He yelled and swung his foot out. He hit Renji square in the jaw. The man flew backwards and smacked into the bed frame. Renji yowled in pain so loud you'd think he was a wolf.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" He yelled gripping his jaw, "That really hurt!"
"I'm trying to snap you out of whatever is wrong with you." Ichigo said glaring at Renji, "It's not like you to stare out into space randomly or take my kicks full on. And why haven't you been sleeping enough? What's wrong with you?" Chad watched the scene quietly looking as though he was wondering weather or not to leave the two alone.
Renji glared at Ichigo. "Lay off my back." He growled suddenly getting up and stepping off the bed. "I'm going out for some air." Ichigo watched as Renji left as quickly as he could. Ichigo debated going up and stopping him but he figured there was no point. Renji of course would never tell him anything if there was actually anything going on. Ichigo thought back to what happened at the airport when Renji told Rukia to shut up after she was about to say something. Rukia obviously knew what was going on with the guy. The next time Ichigo saw her he'd ask her what was going on. Rukia probably wouldn't hold out on information especially considering she was about to spill something at the airport.
"Where did Abarai-san go?" Ichigo and Chad looked up to see Ishida had gotten out of the shower already somehow without them noticing at all. He had his towel wrapped around his waist and his glasses hanging in one hand and his clothes in the other. He set them down on the table and turned to Ichigo and Chad waiting for an answer.
"He left just a couple of seconds ago, and Byakuya left before that." Ichigo explained."
Chad shifted beside him. "I think I'll take my shower now." He said, "Ishida, are there big towels in the bathroom?"
"Yup." Ishida said moving aside so Chad could get past him. Chad thanked him briefly and disappeared into the washroom in the next second.
"So." Ishida said moving to sit down on one of the comfortable chairs around the table, "Why did Abarai leave? I thought he was sleeping."
"He wasn't actually sleeping." Ichigo explained. "While you were in the shower he kind of stormed away. I think he's mad."
"Good God at least give me the whole story," Ishida said glaring at Ichigo with either anger or either struggle to see him without his glasses, "Did you make him mad or something?"
Ichigo furrowed his eyebrows, "Why do you assume that?"
"Well did you?" Ishida asked.
Ichigo scratched the back of his head, "Kind of, I guess…" He took a deep breath before explaining, "Chad and I were talking and suddenly Renji whispered asking if Byakuya was still in the room. When I asked him why he was wondering that he didn't answer me so…" Ichigo hesitated before continuing, "I kicked him."
"KICKED HIM?" Ishida yelled and then smacked his forehead, "Honestly Kurosaki what do you think people are, dolls? You can't just treat them however you want!"
"He was being frustrating!" Ichigo said trying to defend himself. "And I thought that would snap him out of it!"
"Out of it?"
"To be honest I don't know what 'it' is." Ichigo said, "I just know something is wrong with him." Ichigo suddenly felt extremely frustrated about all this. He didn't like this whole thing with Renji and suddenly he felt like he would do anything to find out what was going on.
Ishida crossed his arms over his chest. "Well about what's wrong with Abarai, you see—"
Ichigo snapped his gaze up at Ishida and jumped up without letting Ishida finish his sentence, "YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?" Ichigo asked or more like screamed. He wasn't even sure why he wanted to know what was wrong with Renji so badly. All he knew was that not knowing anything made him feel left out, and he didn't like that feeling, "TELL ME!" Ichigo yelled.
Ishida blinked, "I don't know what's wrong with him, that wasn't what I was about to say."
Ichigo gasped, "What? Don't lie, you were about to tell me!" Ichigo took a step forwards, "Don't stop now!"
Ishida immediately stood up and held his arms out in front of him as though Ichigo would attack, "Calm down! I didn't say I knew anything, I just—"
"It's something to do with Byakuya isn't it?" Ichigo advanced forwards refusing to listen to what Ishida had to say. Ishida flinched.
"Kurosaki, listen to me! I don't know what's going on with him, that's not what I was going to say! Just calm down!"
"Don't try to hide it, Ishida!" Ichigo yelled taking another step forwards, "I wanna know what's going on with that guy and I'm too impatient to wait to ask Rukia!"
Ishida took a step back towards the bed and gulped looking so confused it wasn't even funny, "Why are you so crazy all of a sudden?"
Ichigo clenched his fists in an attempt to control the slight anger that was building up inside of him like a beast waiting to burst, "Come on Ishida, I'm your friend, you can tell me."
"Kurosaki, I don't— AHH!"
Ichigo couldn't control himself anymore. He threw himself at Ishida with the force of a football players tackle. The two flew across the room and landed on one of the queen beds with a grunt. Ichigo landed on top of the guy and pinned his arms to the bed before he could escape.
"KUROSAKI, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Ishida's face turned beat red and his voice cracked.
"Tell me what I want to know!" Ichigo ordered not even aware of the awkward situation he had just put himself in. Ishida was completely aware though. The two were alone in the hotel room and Ichigo who happened to be shirtless was pinning poor Ishida who happened to be basically naked down to this comfortable bed. The situation was so awkward Ishida could barely breathe.
"Tell me!" Ichigo ordered again.
"I don't know what you want to know!" Ishida whined.
"You defiantly know what I want." Ichigo growled glaring down at Ishida.
"I really don't know!"
"Just do it!"
"Kurosaki!" Ishida whined trying to struggle out of his grip.
"Ishida! I—"
Slam.
The two boys froze.
A sudden thick silence hung in the air. The only sound was the sound of water running in the shower. A good solid 10 seconds passed before anything happened. Ichigo slowly lifted his head up to look at the hotel door. His eyes flew open as wide as moons at what he saw.
Byakuya and Hitsugaya stood in the small hallway. Both of them were stiff as statues. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were dropped open in shock. That was the most expression Byakuya had shown on this whole trip.
There was some more silence.
Ichigo couldn't speak. His throat was frozen much like the rest of his body.
Finally someone spoke. It was Byakuya using the stiffest voice you have ever heard, "Sorry we interrupted." He mumbled and turned around quickly, "Let's go, Hitsugaya."
Hitsugaya was still stuck in his statue position staring at the two boys with the biggest shock you've ever seen.
Ichigo finally found the strength to speak, "Wait!" He yelled, "I-It's not what it looks like!"
"Sorry," Byakuya repeated opening the hotel door. Hitsugaya stared for one more second before he stiffly turned around and walked away like he had stones for feet. The door closed softly behind him and everything was silent.
It took a while for something to happen.
"Um…Well that was awkward." Ichigo said breaking the silence with a nervous laugh.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Ishida screamed and used all the force he could muster to kick Ichigo off of him with a yell of anger. Ichigo was kicked straight in the stomach. He toppled backwards with a gasp of air escaping him and in the next second he fell down and smacked into the floor below.
"Ow!" He yelled.
Ishida sat up on the bed and looked down at Ichigo, "What the hell were you doing?" He yelled. Every inch of his body was shaking. Ichigo opened his eyes and saw his face was still red with a blush.
"I was just trying to get you to tell me what's going on with Renji!"
"I don't know what's going on with Abarai! If you just listened to what I was trying to say you would know that! Idiot! I was going to say that we could just try asking him nicely!" Ishida hung his head and made a sound almost like a whimper. "Arrrgh!" He suddenly threw his body up and clenched his hair like he was trying to pull it out, "Those guys will think we're creepy now and not want to sleep in the same room as us!"
"Just calm down Ishida." Ichigo said standing up off of the floor, "Everything will be fine, they'll forget about this before they come back."
"If they come back." Ishida said darkly.
Ichigo gulped, "Look, I'm sorry." He said but Ishida just hung his head again, "Ishida, it isn't that big of a deal."
"I know, it's just…" He turned his head and a small blush formed on his face. Ichigo crossed his arms.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Nothing." Ishida mumbled. He heaved himself off the bed and walked towards his suitcase. Ichigo frowned. Of course he hoped Hitsugaya and Byakuya would realize that this was a big misunderstanding but in all reality he didn't care too much. Why did Ishida care so much? Well I guess that was just Ishida being his usual dramatic self. Ichigo sighed and went to flop down on the bed again.
A/N: I don't even know what I was getting at with all that Ishida and Ichigo stuff. I guess that was the result of a sudden IshidaXIchigo obsession I have developed. Don't worry, I'll try to keep all of this IshidaXIchigo stuff to a minimum and focus mainly on Ichiruki. If you want to review pleaaaase don't be mean to me! I'm very delicate. If you don't like the fic just leave a sad face.
