Two days later, Orihime went to Ichigo's house, just as she said she would.
"I saw Tatsuki yesterday… she waved at me at during class change." Orihime thought as she walked up to the door step.
She knocked like before and waited for someone to answer the door, this time, Tatsuki answered. She smiled and waved as soon as the door was open.
"Hello to you too." Orihime laughed as she walked in.
Tatsuki kept the smile on her face.
As Orihime took off her shoes, Tatsuki texted on her phone, "Are you here to help with Ichigo?"
Orihime looked up and nodded, "Yes, isn't he home?" Orihime asked.
Tatsuki shook her head, "No."
She then texted again on her phone, "He had to run an errand for our dad. He'll be back soon."
Orihime stood there in confusion, "What should I do till then?"
Tatsuki smiled and tilted her head towards the stairs
"You want me to come up to your room?" Orihime asked.
Tatsuki nodded, "Yeah."
……………………………………………………………….
Tatsuki room was similar to Ichigo's, the wall color and how all the furniture was placed, but her room had more interesting things in it. Three guitars hung on the wall, an electric, an acoustic and a four string acoustic. The space underneath her window had paint stained towel underneath it.
"She must paint too." Orihime thought.
Orihime sat on Tatsuki's bed, "I like your room."
Tatsuki smiled as she shut the door, "Thank you." She signed.
"That means thank you right?" Orihime asked.
Tatsuki nodded, "Yeah." and then sat down beside Orihime.
Orihime smiled, and then looked at her guitars.
Tatsuki turned around to see what she was looking at, she then texted, "Would you like me to play something for you?"
"Oh! Really? Yes, I'd like that." Orihime said excitedly.
Tatsuki smiled again and stood up. She walked to the wall and got her acoustic guitar. She then sat down on the floor and strummed the strings.
"I always thought guitar players were hot." Orihime said smiling.
Tatsuki blushed immediately, Orihime noticed and laughed.
"Thank you." Tatsuki signed through her blushing.
"Aw, I didn't mean to make you blush." Orihime laughed.
Tatsuki fumbled with her phone and texted, "You didn't!"
Orihime smiled again, "So aren't you going to play me something?" she asked.
"Yeah yeah." Tatsuki typed before she started.
F#, E, A, F#.
"Oh that's pretty, I know that song. It's the… Yeah Yeah Yeahs!" Orihime exclaimed.
"You were listening to them the other day, 'Cheated Hearts'." Orihime continued.
Tatsuki was shocked and shook her head, "Yeah."
"Play me another." Orihime said happily.
Tatsuki nodded and started playing.
D string seven, G string six, B string five, G string six, B string five, D string six.
"Kaki King, the second part of Fortunata." Orihime smiled.
Tatsuki immediately stopped playing, "This is incredible. I've never met someone who knows the same stuff I do like this." she texted quickly
Orihime smiled back at Tatsuki. They were both silent for a minuet. Tatsuki leaned her guitar up against the bed and sat down on the bed beside Orihime.
Tatsuki took her phone out and wrote, "I always thought music gurus were hot."
Orihime let out a breath she was holding then laughed. As Tatsuki put her arm down, her hand touched Orihime's.
"Oh! Sorry…" Orihime said.
Tatsuki's expression said she was sorry, she turned away quickly to hide her face.
"I can read your body language." Orihime said.
Tatsuki didn't turn around but she texted something to Orihime then handed the phone to her. Orihime took the phone, careful not to touch Tatsuki's hand and read, "I wish I could read yours."
Orihime handed Tatsuki her phone back, Tatsuki then turned around.
Tatsuki studied Orihime for a minuet, she soon leaned slowly towards Orihime. Orihime did the same. But as they leaned close, the weight of the mattress changed the way Tatsuki's guitar was standing and it fell over with a loud clank sound.
Ichigo then immediately opened Tatsuki door.
"What's going on in here Tatsuki!" he exclaimed.
Tatsuki slid down off the bed onto the floor away from Orihime and pulled her hat over her head to cover up her blushing.
Ichigo gave her a weird look, "You...okay?"
"Yeah." She nodded pulling her brimmed beanie over her face.
"Well... I'll be, taking Orihime now." He said.
"Please go!" she signed at him letting go of her hat.
Ichigo sighed, "Come on Orihime."
Orihime followed him quickly out of Tatsuki room.
"You sure you're okay?" she asked as before she left Tatsuki.
Tatsuki had turned around to pick up her guitar and nodded.
After Ichigo had closed her door, Tatsuki hit the side of her mattress.
"Stupid..." Tatsuki thought.
……………………………………………………………………..
"So we understand lesson four right?" Orihime asked as she put on her shoes.
"Yeah yeah, I got it now." He smiled.
"Good." She said.
Ichigo nodded. The lesson was over for the night and Orihime was ready to go home.
"Is Tatsuki okay?" Orihime asked before she left.
"Yeah, she just got embarrassed." He laughed.
Soon they both heard Tatsuki guitar, "She seems okay now." Orihime said softly.
Ichigo nodded again, "Yeah."
"I'll see you Sunday, we can study for the quiz on Monday." She said as she opened the door.
"Sounds good to me." He said as she walked out of his house.
Orihime could hear Tatsuki guitar down the street, it was nice.
"Would it be weird if I liked her? It's not nomral." she debated in her head.
"But she's seductive playing guitar..."
"I wonder what she thinks." Orihime thought as Tatsuki guitar got out of range to hear.
