Misinterpreted Understanding

Ichigo X Orihime

Chapter 2: The Plan

Ichigo was on his way home..

But he halted for a second thinking his friends have really gone mad playing detectives or what. Yes! They are idiots for involving him in their stupidities but he is also an idiot, for agreeing to their Plans.

"Okay! Come Closer guys, here's the plan." Tatsuki said in a whisper while she was calling for her friends to get even closer with her. They all complied immediately, well it's because they are kind of afraid to Tatsuki, especially when she's bursting in anger. So it's better to comply to her immediately than to let her force you to. "Rio, Natsui and me will act the usual around her, while Chad and Mizuiro since you're boys, you'll follow Orihime during the night. Got it?" Everyone agreed to their designated positions. Even the gentle giant agreed, well he's worried about Orihime too.

"Hey! What about me? What about me?" Keigo said excitedly, while raising his hand. " Ooohh.. I know! I know! I will be the one who will Table Orihime where she's working and I'm willing to spend all of my money just for her services." He said with a wide smile on his face.

Tatsuki's vein twitched on what she heard, and then she started pounding Keigo merciless.

"Hey! Tatsuki, Stop beating Keigo to death. Could you please just explain to me what's really happening in here? And What is that Inoue's services Keigo's been saying?" asked Ichigo, well he is still oblivious of what's happening.

"Can't you wait, Ichigo? I'm still giving everybody's role in here. " tatsuki said, rolling her eyes. She then looked down on the floor where Keigo's body lays."This stupid bastard really can't help at all, Saying those stuff..Tch."

Oh…This girl really is something .Now, I'm the impatient one here? Well I didn't even want to be involved in here in the first place. Ichigo thought to himself, he just stood silently and waited on whatever Tatsuki's instructs.

"Okay back to the plan, the stupid bastard Keigo and Ishida—"

"NOT INTERESTED." Ishida said. Cutting off Tatsuki.

"Oohh..Ishida, you're not? " plastering her goody girl side and Fake creepy smile, that sense she'll say something bad ."Too bad then, I'll just tell everybody about your DAAARRRKK secret, if you're not joining." Smiling sarcastically.

The four-eyed dark haired boy just glared at her, But Tatsuki didn't get scared by it instead she raised her chin and glared at him too. They are challenging each other through their eyes.

Seconds, Minutes have passed but still no one dared to stop the tension between them, until..

"Okay. I'm In." Says Ishida defeatedly.

"Good boy." Tatsuki said while patting Ishida Uryuu's head.

This girl is really something, even Ishida eh? She can make him agree to her wishes.

Then Tatsuki's stare switch from Uryuu Ishida to Ichigo.

"Okay! As for you Ichigo, you are our ace card in here."

"What? Why me?" He replied curiously.

"Arrgg, Because I said so." Tatsuki replied back. Ichigo was raising his brows out of curiosity, and Tatsuki did notice it, so She tried to explain The complicated thing about her bestfriend. " You see Ichigo, You're the only one who could stop her, well Err—you see, Orihime's working in a—a," She couldn't continue what she was about to say.

"Working in a-?" He asked again.

"She's working in a Club"

"Club?" Asked Ichigo as his brows connected in curiosity.

"Yeah! A night club," Ichigo flinched because of keigo's sudden appearance behind him., Then he just stood silent. Keigo thought that ichigo is blunt about those places so, he tried to explain what a night club is. " Gosh! Ichigo, you don't know what a night club is? Are you that gay? A night club is a place where women shows off their sexy features in order to entertain men, Some women sell their bodies too. Oh! My, Thinking about Orihime-chan in a seducing suit really makes me—"

Keigo didn't had the chance to finish his sentence for he was punched real hard in the head by Ichigo.

"I know what a Night Club is, Idiot!, What I want to know about, why is Inoue working in that kind of place?" Ichigo explained, well, he blushed a little thinking of whatever Keigo's thinking earlier.

"Well, Ichigo I think she's in desperate need of money" Tatsuki said.

"Money?"

"Yeah, now that we're about to graduate we all need money for college and We all know that she doesn't have anyone to support her education other than her." Rio explained.

"And you know Orihime-chan doesn't want anyone to help her, you know how selfless she is. She doesn't want to burden anyone with her own problems. So please, Ichigo We have to help her."

"She may be in need of money, but selling off her body is too much—" Natsui couldn't continue as Tears were forming in her eyes and place her palm in her mouth

"Yes! Selling her body was a desperate act, but who could blame Inoue. She would sacrifice her ownself just so she couldn't burden others. Probably Tatsuki have offered to lend her money but with Inoue's character I think she wouldn't accept it. Not that, she doesn't want help or doesn't wanted to look pitiful. Well, as what Tatsuki said Inoue is selfless. She would always think of others before thinking about herself. I always wanted to see her smile so I want to help her because I always admire Inoue. Errr-no, admire her kindness that is, I always admire her kindness." Ichigo blushed slightly when he thought of that, and the next words he said brought hope to the group.

"OK. I'll help."

"Really? Thank you so much" a smiling tatsuki said enthusiastically while Tapping his shoulders.

Ichigo continued on walking and at the same time smile thinking about the previous events that happened in his school that day. He couldn't help but laugh, but feel confused too. Thinking how he could help stop Inoue Orihime from doing the biggest mistakes in her life. He was in a deep thought, when suddenly he saw a familiar girl, with hair in the same shade of his own hair color. He felt like he shouldn't call her out, but his body didn't comply. He just found himself calling out for the auburn hair girl.

"Hey! Inoue?"

The girl stopped from walking, then slowly turned around seeking for the one who called her name. She saw the familiar uniform from her school, orange hair, warm chocolate brown eyes and ever handsome face. It was HER Kurosaki-kun. err- scratch that. Her classmate Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Eh? K-Kurosaki-kun, W-what a-are you d-doing here?" She said stammering. There were only few times that they had talked together and Orihime's too shy to talk to him. For she couldn't hide her blush whenever he would talk to her or be beside her. She thought that it would be best to not talk to him or he might find out that she has a crush on him. A huge crush on him.

"This is the way to my house, right? What about you, inoue?" he said shooting his brows upward out of curiosity. " If I'm not mistaken, you're house is on the other block far from here."

"Eh? e-eh?" She couldn't form a quick reply. Just with Ichigo, she couldn't breath let alone think properly. She couldn't also say where she's heading. She suddenly thought of something, "better go now Orihime, than tell him." Then she started running " Sorry- but I got to go. See you tomorrow Kurosaki-kun."

Ichigo was left alone. Just looking intently from where Orihime run off to.

"Okay. she's really hiding something, We got to work the plan now."
