Well, ladies and gents, here's chapter three for your viewing and... any other pleasure I guess. How you appreciate my story is up to you I guess. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did typing it out... wasn't that a cliché statement? -.-
I appreciate any and all reviews and will respond to them... unless I don't feel like it *Shrug*
Nightkill:0_0 Uhh, you are? I mean, of course you are! I knew... I'm sorry. Don't hurt me... *Winces and shields face with hands* (Glad you enjoyed chapter two)
Grinja:Y...you thought it was silly? *Sniff* But yes, thinking it over, the poll was silly. I scrapped it upon reading your review and replaced with something a little more relevant. I look forward to typing out Loly and Menoly's declaration and Ichigo's reaction to that particular scenario by the way*Evil laugh is evil*
Lazruth:Yes, yes. I am most certainly looking forward to typing out the Hueco Mundo Arc, not only for those two specific moments, but also because*Looks around suspiciously* I have plans... To answer your question, No. They will not be accompanying Loly and Menoly into the World of the Living... but don't let that discourage you, all in due time.
Desuse:Thanks much for your compliments. Yes, writing out that scene may be tricky, but I believe I know how to pull it off. It should be fun, too.
Kaiser969:Thanks for the review. You are correct in assuming there will be more incidents between the three girls, I promise you that.
Guyshuriken:Thanks for the review. You'll be getting your wish, by the way.
VampireNecromancer:Thanks much. I'm glad everyone is liking the way I put there personalities, this is the Loly and Menoly I saw in the manga. Ya know, outside of doing Aizen related stuff?
gumpycan-nologgy:Yeah, good point. Thanks for pointing that out I'll fix that when I get the chance.
god:Your recommendation has been noted and stored away for later use. Thanks
BrazeRancor:Contrary to popular belief, I was not under the influence of any sort of drug. Legal or otherwise. Glad you like it though.

(Chapter Start)
After a peaceful Sunday, Monday came around once more, starting the school week anew. While class didn't start till Eight A.M, some students got there early. Two examples being Tatsuki Arisawa and Orihime Inoue. Currently, we join them in their classroom as they wait for everyone else to arrive and begin the day.
"Really, Orihime? Ichigo with two hot girls?" Tatsuki asked, clearly surprised at Orihime's previous statement.
"Yeah! He was eating Ice Cream with them!" Orihime exclaimed, waving her arms in slight hysteria.
"Are you sure?"
"I went up and talked to him." Tatsuki chuckled.
"I didn't think he had it in him."
"The two girls were glaring at me though." Orihime added that last bit quietly, knowing what it meant. Tatsuki, apparently, knew what it meant too.
"Looks like you've got some competition, Orihime. Did you catch their names? Where do they live?"
"Ichigo said they had just moved into his neighborhood. There was a blonde who said her name was Menoly, and there was a brunette that said hers was Loly."
"Looks like you gotta step it up girl. With Ichigo going out with two girls-" Tatsuki was cut off when Keigo Asano chose this time to suddenly appear next to them.
"Wait! Ichigo went out with two girls? Oh my god! That dog." He said with tears of joy pouring out of his eyes. Mizuiro, who had just walked up to the group after Keigo, rolled his eyes.
"Asano-san, please stop."
"Would you cut it out with calling me that?" Keigo growled out in annoyance. Their 'argument' was cut short as the man of topic came into the room. Ichigo sighed as he slung his bag over his shoulder. He knew this was going to be annoying when he saw Orihime in a group with Tatsuki and Keigo. He didn't really feel like explaining himself to them, so he tried to walk by them. It was useless and Keigo ran up and barraged him with questions.
"Ichigo! Why didn't you tell me you went out with two girls? Who are they? What are their names? Are they hot? How big were their-!" He was cut off with a kick to the stomach, courtesy of Ichigo. Keigo slumped down onto the floor, trying to get oxygen into his lungs. Tatsuki spoke up, stepping over Keigo.
"Really, you gotta give me the details."
Ichigo sighed, a scowl on his face. "I'd rather not." He said in an obviously bored and annoyed tone. He hoped that would be enough for them to back off and leave him alone, but he knew they'd continue questioning him. So, he chose the quickest way to deal with this situation.
"They're just friends. They moved nearby and needed someone to show them around, so I did. That's it. Haven't seen 'em since." Before anything else could be said, Ichigo went over to his desk, next to Uryu Ishida and Chad Yasutora, two good friends of his. He set his bag down with a sigh.
"Hey Ichigo." Ichigo looked over at Uyru, who had greeted him. He was a little surprised that the Quincy had greeted him, but became annoyed when Uryu said, "Your hair looks stupid." Ichigo looked at him with a glare, his teeth grinding together in annoyance. Chad greeted him next with a wave of his hand and a,
"Unh."
When Tatsuki approached Ichigo again, he prepared to try and send her off, assuming she had more questions about his date. Then, he noticed she was gesturing to his waist. "Hey, what's that?" Ichigo blinked, before looking down at the charm his father gave him.
"This?"
"No, that's just some joke gift from your dad, right?" Ichigo gaped at her, "How did you know that? Whoa."
"Who else would give it to you? No, I mean that thing with the skull on it."
"Hm? Oh, I bought it a shop." Ichigo froze then looked back up at her. "Wait, you can see it?" Tatsuki raised an eybrow and asked,
"Huh? What do you mean?" Before Ichigo could cover for himself, Miss Ochi came into the class, slamming the door open.
"Good morning! Sit your butts down everyone! Let's start class!"
The day began at Karakura High, time almost seeming to move slow through the daily classes.
(Las Noches)
Loly poked her head outside the door of her and Menoly's room. She glanced both way through the halls before she went back inside the room.
"Ok, we're good."
They were preparing for their second trip into the World of the Living, undoubtedly to see Ichigo again. When they had returned from the first trip that previous Saturday, they resolved to go back as soon as possible, which happened to be today. This time, though, they couldn't stay as long as they had previously. Which is why they chose now to go, because remembering Ichigo's tour when they had stopped briefly to get a look at the outside of his school, it would be the time of day in the World of the Living that he would leave the high school.
The two were in their gigais again, both dressed differently for the planned trip into the World of the Living. Loly was dressed in an outfit similar to what she wore on their first trip. She wore a skirt again, something she liked to wear as much as she could. It was black this time, and a little shorter, reaching just past her thighs above her knees. The shirt she wore was a white V-Neck that was cut low, exposing her cleavage, and hugged her curves, showing them off. She didn't wear a jacket this time and wore the same pair of boots she had last time. Her hair was the same as usual, put up in two long pigtails on both sides of her head.
Menoly, thanks to the non-stop bugging from Loly, wore a solid white T-Shirt, without a jacket on as well. Loly's argument was she needed to start showing off a little skin if she was going to get anywhere with guys. Menoly didn't really care about that though, but when Loly mentioned that Ichigo might like it, she changed her mind and borrowed a T-shirt from Loly. Her pants were also different, thanks to Loly's prodding again. Instead of the loose and baggy jeans she had worn the first time, her dark blue jeans were tighter on her legs, showing off their shapes. It was obvious she was a little embarrassed with the change of style, as she had kept running her hands over her bare arms nervously, waiting to depart. She wore the same tennis shoes as last time, also keeping her hair the same as usual. Spiky, with a few bangs falling over her right eye.
"Should we go now?" Menoly questioned Loly as she stopped pacing. Loly nodded excitedly.
"Yep! Let's go!" With a tap of her finger Loly opened a garganta for the two of them, intending to open up exactly where it had last time. Without further discussion, Loly jumped into the void, followed quickly by Menoly. The garganta closed behind them, leaving their room empty once again.
(Karakura Town)
The garganta opened over the park, allowing Loly and Menoly to jump down and land softly on the grass below. They glanced around to make sure there wasn't anyone around and relaxed when they didn't see anyone. Loly spoke up first. "Come on, let's hurry! I'm tired of waiting."
Menoly nodded, silently agreeing with her. She followed Loly as she ran off in the direction they had gone in when Ichigo was showing them around. When they passed by the park bulletin board and saw the clock, Menoly noted they still had an hour before Ichigo would be free. She spoke up to suggest to Loly, "Let's slow down. If we get there now, we'd have to wait a while." Loly agreed with the reasoning and slowed down to a walk, Menoly catching up with her quickly.
They walked in silence to the High School. Menoly had her arms crossed, her hands rubbing her arms slightly, not used to having her arms exposed like they were. A thought came to mind that slightly discouraged her. She voiced it to her sister. "Hey Loly... what are we going to do when we're done here, exactly? Just come back? I don't think-." Menoly was cut off when Loly scowled and said,
"Don't even start thinking like that. Just enjoy the time we have." Menoly sighed and nodded, having nothing else to day.
After a twenty minute walk, they stepped onto the High School grounds. There was nobody around, everyone still in class. Menoly sat herself down on a bench, her hands clasped together, waiting nervously. Loly settled for standing next to her with her arms crossed. Together they waited until the sound of the school bell startled them, signaling the end of the school day. Loly looked expectantly at the exits as students began pouring out after a minute. Menoly, too, was scanning through the crowd.
(With Ichigo and Friends)
Ichigo shoved his hands into his pockets, the handle of his bag slung over his shoulder. He left class with Orihime, Tatsuki, Chad, Uyru, Keigo, and Mizuiro. Keigo was going on about how the seven of them should hang out together at the park now that school was over. Ichigo tuned him out, hoping to just go home and rest. When they exited the school, Ichigo looked around, trying to find a fast route away from the group. He stopped though when he saw two girls off to the side. One was sitting on the bench, one was standing with an impatient look on her face. Ichigo recognized them as Loly and Menoly right away. His expression considerably brightened. Something that Uyru, Chad, Tatsuki, and Orihime noticed right away.
"Hey Ichigo, you listening to me?" Keigo questioned loudly. He was about to shout something at Ichigo to try and get his attention, but stopped when Ichigo suddenly branched from their group and power walked off to the right. Keigo shrugged and continued on his way, not noticing that everyone except Mizuiro had left to follow after Ichigo.
Menoly was the first to spot Ichigo as he was coming towards them. She grinned and poked Loly in the side, gesturing to Ichigo. Loly looked to where Menoly was pointing and saw Ichigo as well, smirking. Menoly stood up and the two girls walked forward to meet Ichigo half-way, When they came within meters of each other, Loly waved her hand. "Hi/Hello, Ichigo-kun!" Loly and Menoly greeted happily, not noticing the other four as they walked up behind Ichigo.
Ichigo grinned at the two girls. "Hey, Loly, Menoly. What're you two doing?"
Loly scoffed and crossed her arms. "What do ya think? Waiting for you." Menoly's reply was a little more polite.
"We just wanted to see if you felt like hanging out." Ichigo would've beamed if his self-control hadn't prevented him from doing so.
"Sure, that'd be great. I'd have to go home to change though... I suppose I could show you the clinic while you're there." He blinked suddenly, remembering his friends. Ichigo turned and gestured to the four behind him. "Oh. Everybody, this is Loly-" He pointed at Loly. "-and Menoly." He pointed at Menoly. Ichigo followed through by pointing at each of the other four. "Loly, Menoly, this is Tatsuki."
"Hello there, nice to meet you." Tatsuki greeted with a friendly smile.
"Uyru."
"Greetings." Uyru greeted, pressing his glasses up further on the bridge of his nose.
"Chad."
"Hm." The giant greeted with a wave.
"And you remember Orihime, right?" This was when the air dropped a few temperatures. The three girls glared at each other silently. Everyone else, except Ichigo, looked between the two, putting two and two together.
"Oh yes, of course! Hello again, Orihime." Loly spoke up, her voice sickeningly sweet. Orihime spoke up next, her voice sounding close to Loly's.
"Hello again Loly-chan. Still hanging out with Kurosaki-Kun?"
"Yes, we are. Still breathing?" Menoly spoke up in a surprising tone, crossing her arms. Ichigo almost choked when she said this. He stuck his hand forward, in between them and tried to diffuse the situation.
"A-Allright then. Loly, Menoly, let's go so we can start before it gets too dark." He walked over to them and almost had to start pushing the two slightly shorter girls away, who both hadn't stopped glaring at Orihime. Everybody that was left, besides Orihime, had the same thought.
'What just happened?'
(Kurosaki Clinic, Ichigo's Room)
"And this is it." Ichigo said opening his door, leading the two in. When the door closed behind him, Isshin and one of Ichigo's little sisters, Yuzu, crept up the stairs, both with glasses in their hands. They quietly pressed the cups against the door and listened in, both of them sweating. They were interrupted when Ichigo's other little sister, Karin, came up the stairs.
"Oh, there you guys... what are you doing?" Yuzu shushed her quickly.
"Shh! You're not gonna believe it! Ichigo brought two girls home! Two!" Karin raised an eyebrow, though her expression still showed boredom.
"So? Quality over quantity, right?" Yuzu shook her head real fast.
"No, No! That's it! They're pretty!" Their conversation ended abruptly when Ichigo opened the door and yelled out,
"What are you doing?" Isshin tumbled down the stairs in surprise, Karin dodging him as he came by.
"Whoa!"
"AAAH!" Yuzu cried out in surprise and ran away.
Ichigo scowled and turned around, leaving the door open this time. Loly was laughing openly, Menoly had covered her mouth with her hand as she giggled. Ichigo's eyes followed their movements and he found himself admiring their figures again. More of Loly's legs were exposed, something he appreciated silently. He felt a blush coming up when he saw the way her shirt was cut, showing off her cleavage and her curves. Menoly, he thought to himself, looked comfortable in what she wore this time around. Without the turtleneck and the heavy pants she wore last time, she seemed to move around more. He also noted her breasts were almost as big as Loly's, but quickly blinked and shook his head clear of those thoughts. He spoke up, scratching the top of his head. "So, what did you guys have in mind?"
Loly answered right away, crossing her arms. "Doesn't matter. I just wanted to hang out with you." While she did mean what she said, both Ichigo and Menoly knew what she really meant. Loly hadn't really given it any thought and didn't have a clue. She just came down to the World of the Living the first chance she got.
"Well... I suppose we could go see a movie. If you don't want to, then maybe we can just take another walk and find something to do along the way." Loly and Menoly didn't know what a movie was, exactly, but they had seen plenty of advertisements the other day. Menoly spoke up, wary.
"Uhm, we can.. go see a movie." She said, trying to remember how Ichigo had put it when he suggested it. Loly shrugged, showing her agreement. Ichigo nodded.
"Well, I'm going to change. So..." He trailed off, not really wanting to say 'get out' to them. He didn't need to, as Menoly blushed slightly and dragged Loly out of the room.
"R-right. We'll wait out here!" She closed the door behind her and Loly and stood out in the hallway. After a few seconds, the two arrancar realized they weren't alone. Karin was there, looking at them with a uninterested expression.
"So, you two dating my brother?" Menoly blushed, caught off guard at the sudden question. Loly, though, spoke up confidently.
"Yep! Something like that." Karin seemed to grow suspicious of the two, not believing Loly.
"When did you guys meet?" Menoly answered this time.
"A couple days ago. We just moved here and Ichigo was kind enough to show us around."
"Where'd you move?" Menoly almost panicked. She didn't know how to answer that. Before Karin could continue, the door to Ichigo's room opened.
Ichigo stood in the doorway, just shoving his wallet into his back pocket. He wore a loose pair of black jeans that stopped at his ankles, almost touching his black tennis shoes. He wore white socks that could be seen in between the jeans and the shoes. He also wore a black jacket, unzipped all the way, that exposed a gray tank top. The numbers 188 were displayed in black on his shirt inside the outline of what looked like a police badge. [1]
The same thought came to both Loly and Menoly at the same time. 'Handsome.'
"Well, I'm ready. What about you two?" Loly and Menoly both nodded. Loly had her arms crossed and Menoly's hands were clasped at her waist once more. The three set off after that, with Ichigo leading the way. Loly and Menoly, all too happily, followed him.
(Later that Evening)
"So, what did you two think?" Upon seeing the movie description, Loly had suggested a horror movie right away. Menoly had looked almost frightened but agreed with her sister, to which Ichigo nodded and bought the tickets. Throughout the movie, Loly had been excited, almost laughing when someone on the screen did something stupid and met a gruesome end because of it. Menoly, on the other hand, had been terrified. Whether she was aware of it or not, she had been clinging to Ichigo throughout the movie. Even now she still held his left arm in her hands, walking closely to him. Ichigo's opinion of the movie had been that it, while it was certainly graphic and gory, wasn't scary. [2]
"It was awesome! We should see it again!" Loly told Ichigo,clapping her hands in excitement. Ichigo had expected this answer from Loly, shaking his head slightly. Menoly, though, only shivered when she remembered what she had seen. She pressed herself closer into Ichigo's side.
"I... didn't like it a whole lot." Menoly said, which Ichigo had expected.
"Next time, you can choose the movie." Ichigo said kindly, looking down at her. Menoly looked up at him, allowing a small smile to surface. Then she caught the meaning in his words. Next time. The thought made her smile more.
"That'd be great, Ichigo." The three were walking down the street, nearing the spot where they had both first met, and left each other that Saturday. When they reached the spot, Loly stopped walking, Ichigo stopping as well, which caused Menoly to stop as she held on to him.
"Well, thanks for taking us out Ichigo-kun! We can head home from here." Loly said, turning to look at him. Ichigo was slightly disappointed though. He had hoped to walk them home, maybe even catch sight of their parents, but he nodded and replied,
"Alright. I guess I'll see you two later?" Menoly slowly let go of Ichigo's arm and walked over to Loly's side. She was the one who answered.
"Yeah, we'll see you later." Loly took a step forward, looked up at Ichigo and gave him a peck on the cheek. She stepped back and said,
"Let's go Menoly. Bye, Ichigo-kun!" With that, Loly turned and began walking away. She must've expected Menoly to be following after her, as she didn't look back and notice that she wasn't right behind her. Menoly stood there in front of Ichigo, twiddling her thumbs, contemplating something. When Ichigo opened his mouth to ask if anything was wrong, Menoly surprised him by taking a step forward and, like Loly had, looked up at him and gave him a peck on the cheek. She stepped back with a deep blush, that only seemed to deepen when she saw a friendly grin appear on his face.
"Goodbye... Ichigo-kun." And with that she turned and ran after Loly. A couple seconds later, the two girls had turned and left his sight. Ichigo shoved his hands into his pockets, turning to go home. The grin never left his face along the way.
(Las Noches)
Loly and Menoly stepped out of the garganta, back in their room, in the palace of Las Noches. Loly noticed Menoly had a rather happy look on her face, which was surprising, considering she been shaking in a fear a few minutes earlier.
"What are you smiling about?" Loly asked, though, she had a pretty good idea on what it was about. She did notice Menoly had stayed behind a few seconds after she left. Menoly blushed and tried to dismiss her.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Loly smirked mischievously.
"Oh? Are you sure? You didn't do anything did you?" Menoly's blush only deepened, to which Loly laughed at.
"I knew it!" Her laughter was cut short when another, familiar, voice spoke up within the room.
"And just where were you two?"
(Kurosaki Clinic)
Ichigo opened the door to the clinic, the same relaxed look on him. "I'm home! Did I miss din-GAH!" He was cut short when his dad literally tackled him into a submission on the ground.
"Ichigo! Tell me about those two beauties you brought home earlier!" Isshin was thrown off violently, landing on his face, upside down.
"Screw you! I don't need you knowing anything about them!" Isshin sniffed sadly, his eyes scrunching up slightly. Ichigo smacked his forehead.
"Oh come on. Don't cry." Isshin continued, a lone tear coming out of one of his eyes. "No... stop. Now." Now his dad was bawling like a baby in front of Ichigo, who only smacked his forehead again. He slid his hand down his face in dejection. "Alright fine! Jeez! Just stop crying!" Isshin appeared right next to Ichigo with a perverted smile on his face. Ichigo growled but did what he said he would do.
"Their names are Loly and Menoly. They moved here a few days ago. They needed someone to show them around and I was there to do so. Today, we were just hanging out."
"Wow, Ichigo. It's been my dream to have a third daughter but YOU, of all people, managed to bring home a third and fourth! I've raised you well, my son." Isshin said proudly, giving Ichigo a thumbs up. Ichigo only rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, whatever. I'm going to bed now." With that, Ichigo went upstairs.
(Las Noches)
Loly and Menoly turned suddenly, frightened. They calmed down slightly when they saw it was only Apacci, one of the Tercera Espada's Fraccion. Loly and Menoly had hung out with the fraccion in the past, so they were friends. It didn't completely calm them down though. Loly spoke up, hoping to cover for her and Menoly.
"Nowhere! What're you doing in our room?"
"I was just walking around trying to get away from that retarded cow, Mila-Rose, when I felt a garganta being opened nearby. Since I know Aizen-sama didn't give you two any orders, I wanted to find out what was up. So, I came here and waited." Apacci told the two of them. Apacci was in a fraccion with two other arrancar under the espada known as Tia Harribel, the Tercera Espada. She had blue hair that was neatly cut down to her jaw, just reaching her arrancar uniform. Her mask fragment was in the shape of a horn that was on her forehead. Her zanpakuto, in the form of two bracelets, rested loosely on her wrists. One of the more distinguishing features of Apacci was her eyes. She had heterochromia, her right eye being an amber red, a red outline around it, her left eye being an icy blue. Apacci stood there, leaning against the wall, her arms crossed. She also had a smirk on her face. "You two were gone for a couple hours, ya know? What were you two doing?"
"We just went down to the World of the Living because we were bored." Menoly replied, becoming a little unnerved at the questioning. Apacci became interested.
"Oh? Did you meet anyone?" Their flinches and Menoly's blush was all the answer she needed. "You did!" Apacci accused, the same smirk on her face, though it looked more like an amused smirk than a smirk that gave off superiority. She pushed herself off the wall and tilted her head slightly. "How was he?" Loly and Menoly both spluttered at the question.
"A-Apacci!" Menoly exclaimed, embarrassed.
"We didn't do anything like that! We were just hanging out."
"So it was a guy? You two snuck out of Las Noches to go meet some human?"
"Yes." Was Menoly's confident answer. She had narrowed her eyes at Apacci, who held up her hands defensively at the expression.
"Hey, hey. I don't mean anything bad by it. Who can blame you, things the way they are around here?"
"Just...don't tell anyone, will ya?" Loly asked her, speaking instead of Menoly this time.
"Let me guess... you two are probably going back again, huh?" At their nods, Apacci turned swiftly and walked over to one of the beds and sat down on it. She crossed her legs and rested her hands on her lap, an expectant look on her face. At their confused expressions, Apacci said, "Well? Give me details! What's he look like?"
Loly and Menoly happily began to tell Apacci about Ichigo.
(Later)
Loly and Menoly had spent close to an hour telling Apacci of their dates with Ichigo. How he acted, where he lived, what he did. What took up the last twenty or so minutes of the explanation was the two arrancar's telling Apacci what Ichigo looked like. The two, apparently, were looking forward to sharing this. Apacci looked up at the ceiling, in thought. If the description she got of this Ichigo was as accurate as Loly and Menoly made it out to be, he definitely wasn't bad looking. She looked back at the two, with a smirk, saying something she knew would get on their nerves.
"Heh, sounds like a hottie." She commented absent-mindedly, not paying attention to Loly and Menoly's glares. "I may have to check him out myself."
"Apacci..." Loly trailed off in a low, warning, tone. Apacci laughed and stood up.
"We'll see. I'll leave you two alone now. I'll be back when you two go into the World of the Living again! At least it'll give me a break from that idiotic Mila-Rose." She left with that statement. Loly and Menoly sighed in relief. Apacci was one to trust, so they were still safe.
(TIME-SKIP)
For the next couple weeks, Loly and Menoly had been visiting Ichigo once every couple days. The three would always have fun together, their adventures ranging from walks to movies, with the occasional dinner at some restaurant, and every date would end when they reached the same spot as usual. The two girls would also switch off between being the one to leave the departing gift. A couple of times, they would both do it at the same time, something that confused Ichigo to a certain extent.
Ichigo would wait patiently for them to come, grinning whenever he saw the two girls waiting for him, either outside of his school or showing up at his house. His friends, namely Orihime and Chad, had noticed that his general expression these days were happy and friendly. It seemed he was enjoying life, even with the occasional Hollow attack, courtesy of the alarm clock that was his Deputy Badge, something that scared the crap out of him the first time it went off. Ichigo silently thanked his luck that it had never gone off when the two girls were around.
Loly and Menoly both looked forward to the days they could go visit Ichigo. If it were up to them, they would visit everyday, but they needed to make sure everything was quiet and no one was around, which was usually once every couple days. Ever since the second date had ended, Apacci had been there after every date to hear the details on how it went, and also to find out more of this Ichigo Kurosaki. She would always listen intently as Loly and Menoly practically beamed at the chance of telling someone about Ichigo. The way things were, Apacci knew as much about Ichigo as Loly and Menoly did. Needless to say, Apacci had become interested and wanted to meet Ichigo, but she kept that to herself.
Currently, we join Ichigo, Loly, and Menoly as they walked to the usual spot they would separate at. The three were talking about the events that had just transpired on their most recent date. Sometime throughout the walk, Loly had wrapped her arms around Ichigo's right arm, walking closely to him, her head resting on his shoulder. Menoly was off to the side though. She was thinking about something, and whatever it was it was making her blush and fidget nervously.
When they reached the spot, they stopped walking. Loly spun out of her grasp on his arm and stopped in front of him. "Here we are. Thanks for the date Ichigo-kun!" Loly gave him a quick peck on the cheek, as usual. She waved goodbye with her fingers suggestively, then turned to leave, a somewhat happy bounce in her step.
Menoly took a couple steps forward before she stopped to follow after Loly before she stopped. She stood still for several seconds, tapping her fingers together, her eyes scanning around at the ground. Suddenly, she turned and grabbed Ichigo by his shirt and leaned forward. She brought him closer to her, and planted her lips on his in a soft kiss. Ichigo's eyes widened at this bold move by the usually more timid Menoly. Though, he made no move to stop her. He had to admit he was enjoying the moment. A couple seconds later Menoly pulled away, a blush on her face and a triumphant grin. "S-see you later, Ichigo-kun."
She left after that, leaving a speechless and gaping Ichigo.
When Loly and Menoly returned to Hueco Mundo, Apacci was there waiting, sitting on one of the beds. When Apacci saw the garganta appear in front of her she stood up to greet her two, now, good friends. The three had become pretty good friends over the past two weeks. With something to talk about that the three of them were interested in, it was much easier to get along than the occasional time they used to train together out of boredom. Loly and Menoly stepped out of the garganta with content grins on their faces.
"Well?" Apacci asked expectantly. Loly and Menoly both sat down, followed quickly by Apacci, and began telling her what had happened not less than an hour ago, both happy.
(The Throne Room)
An image was being shown out in the middle of the Throne Room at Aizen's eye level. It showed the last minute of Ichigo, Loly, and Menoly's date. He saw Loly and how she had her arms wrapped around Ichigo's, and the parting kiss that Menoly had given him. While the insubordination of his once two 'biggest fans' had surprised him briefly, Aizen had easily found a way to use the situation to his advantage. He had watched the most recent date with a contemplating look on his face, which was the same expression he had watched the last few recordings with. Aizen only allowed a half-smirk appear on his face as he watched the projector turn off. He sat up in his throne and turned to his left and looked at Ulquiorra Schifer, the Cuatro Espada. Aizen spoke up, commanding in an authoritative tone,
"Please bring me Numeros Loly Aivirrne and Numeros Menoly Mallia."
(End of Chapter/Author's Note)
Well, there ya go. Yes, yes, yes, the next chapter is when the Shinigami vs Hollow conflict will catch up with the three lovebirds. These three first chapters I made out to start their relationship and show what Loly and Menoly's personalities will be like. Their encounters with Orihime were sneak peeks for whats to come. Hehe.
Originally, I planned for this story to follow closely to canon, just a pairing change and dialogue change throughout. But, after several days of pondering and/or hitting my head against the spine of my Bleach manga, I came up with something awesome *Evil smirk* At least in my opinion. No details will be given on what exactley will be changed, but I will say that it will be different than the manga and anime.
[1] End of Manga 21, the preview picture for Manga 22.
[2] This is, more or less, a personal note. You know todays horror movies, right? Sure, they're gory and the like, but that isn't scary! You know what was scary? The Shining! Psychological Thrillers leave a much bigger impact on you. You remember that crap... for a while... *Shiver*
That will wrap up my ramblings this time, please leave a review. Constructive Criticism is welcome, but flamers will be hunt down and beaten up by me personally, I assure you.
