Theme: Pool Party

Pool Party

Rukia was reading one of her manga's when she noticed that the main characters were lounging around a large pool and seemed to be having a barbecue with lots of food. She opened her closet door and saw Ichigo on his computer.

"Ichigo, what could this be described as?" pointing with her finger at the picture that made her so curious and hungry all at once.

Ichigo looked over his shoulder and saw that she was holding up a manga with a setting of a pool and food everywhere. "It's a pool party, idiot, what else? Now go away, I have other things to worry about than you're damn curiosity," Ichigo turned back his attention to his computer.

Rukia looked at the picture in thought. Hmm, a pool party? She then looked over to Ichigo who looked to be much tensed and not relaxed. Her eyes yet again glanced back down to the picture in her hands, this time furrowing her brows as an idea soon popped up. Perfect.

She tossed her manga into her closet and walked over to the window, "well, I'm going out, I'll be back later," and she jumped out.

"Yeah, yeah, you do that."

Rukia quickly made her way to the only place she knew she could get a pep talk and when she made it to her destination she knocked on the door and waited for it to open up to reveal a big breasted, redhead.

"Ah, Kuchiki-san, what are you doing here so late in night?"

"Can I come inside?"

Orihime nodded and allowed Rukia to make her way inside her apartment. "So, is there a problem, Kuchiki-san?"

Both girls took a seat on the floor and Rukia nodded. "Yes, we have a big problem, Inoue," Orihime then began to worry and wondered if it had anything to do with Ichigo.

Orihime looked over at her with a concerned face and said, "is there anything I could do to help?"

Again, Rukia nodded. "Mm-hm, we need to have a pool party and the first thing we need to do is find a pool," determination on her face as she held her fist tightly in front of her body.

Orihime calmed back down and began to smile as she nodded her head. "Yes, that sounds like a wonderful idea, but, how are we going to accomplish that if there is only two of us and no pool?"

Rukia stood up with a smirk on her face. "Who says that there are only two of us, what we need to do is get backup from our lovely friends."

Orihime also stood up and agreed with Rukia as she furiously nodded the head. "You're right; Kurosaki-kun could help us!"

Rukia shook her head. "It's a secret, so he can't know about it till we have everything planned out, okay?"

Both girls seemed to come to an agreement and began walking to the front door, but before Rukia could open the door, she turned around to look at Orihime. "Before we go, do you have duct tape?"

"Mm, yes, Kuchiki-san, do you want some?"

Rukia nodded and saw that Orihime went to go look for it. Now, whether no one wants to help they'll have no choice but to help. It's brilliant!

When Orihime came back with a large roll of duct tape, the two girls headed out and began walking down the streets. Orihime casually looked around and noticed something familiar with the setting they were walking by.

"Uh, Kuchiki-san, isn't this the way to Ishida-kun's apartment?"

Rukia smiled over her shoulder. "Why yes it is, Inoue. You see, if we get Ishida to agree with us then we'll have another member to add into our pool party."

Orihime looked down at the duck tape she was holding. "And if Ishida-kun doesn't agree?" concern in her voice as she eyed the duct tape in her hands.

Rukia didn't turn around to look at Orihime. "Then we'll have to take drastic measures."

The redheaded girl gulped at what could be going around in her friends mind. Sometimes, Kuchiki-san can be very scary.

When both girls were outside of Uryū's apartment, they noticed that the lights were out in his room. Orihime turned to Rukia with a sad look. "Maybe he's asleep, Kuchiki-san, so much for recruiting Ishi-what are you doing, Kuchiki-san?"

Rukia was looking around the floor for something until she found it. "Ah-ha! Okay, stand back Inoue, I've been known to have a wicked throw."

Orihime quickly backed away to hide behind a lamp post and watched as Rukia took a huge rook in her small palm and start waving it around the air as she picked up speed. Then, she released the rock and it completely shattered Uryū's apartment window.

Orihime's jaw dropped at the display that Rukia just did and felt the need to runaway before someone could notice the poor girl. "K-Kuchiki-san I think you over did it! You should have tried a smaller rock."

Rukia looked dumfounded for a moment and then it finally hit her. "Oh, so the people in those soap operas used small rocks to get someone's attention?" Rukia looked over to Orihime with a wry look, "my bad."

And then they heard a door open and close as the person who was just hit with the unexpected rock in the middle of the night began to descend from the stairs with said rock and a huge bruise on his head.

"Is this your rock, Kuchiki-san?" Uryū held the rock out with his palm as he had a scowl that could perfectly match Ichigo's.

Rukia scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "Sorry Ishida, we needed to get your attention somehow, though."

"Haven't you heard of knocking?"

Orihime quickly walked over to Uryū and began to heal the bruise on his head. "Sorry Ishida-kun but it was an emergency."

Uryū's eyes widen. "An emergency, why, what happened?"

Rukia gave him a sad look and wiped a theatrical tear from her face. "Oh, Ishida, it was horrible. But…"

"But what?" Uryū was getting anxious now and his voice got a slight bit louder.

"We need you to help us plan a pool party!"

Uryū looked at her in disbelief and then clenched his fist so hard that his knuckles cracked. "You mean you threw a rook into my apartment, brought me down here in the middle of the night, and worried me for a… pool party?"

Rukia sheepishly smiled. "So, does that mean you're going to help us, or not?"

When Orihime finished healing Uryū's head, his eyebrow twitched in irritation. "What do you think?" he then began walking away.

Rukia looked away and nodded. "So, that's how it's gonna be then, Inoue, the tape," she held her palm out for Orihime to hand it to her. Once she did, Rukia said, "hold him down!" and charged Uryū from behind.

"Ahhhhh! What are you doing? This is-mmmhhppp!"

Ichigo quickly woke up and looked over to Rukia's closet. He got out of bed and walked over to it, softly knocking on the soft wood. "Hey, Rukia, are you okay? I thought I heard a weird sound."

There was no reply for about a minute and Ichigo was about to reach out and open the closet when she finally answered.

"Of course I am you fool, now leave me alone."

Ichigo scowled. "Tch, that's the last time I worry about you," he then walked back to his bed and settled himself down to go back to sleep, throwing the covers over his body.

Rukia, on the other hand was a bit uncomfortable, since she did have a squirming Uryū trapped inside her small closet. "Damn, you take up the whole space, Ishida," she kicked his face as she tried to move around.

Uryū, on the other hand, tried to break free from the tape that was wrapped around his arms arm's but it proved to be more difficult then he thought, also, he knew that his lips were going to hurt later since he had his mouth covered up with a piece of duct tape as well.

Rukia kicked Uryū to the side so she could open the closet door by an inch to see if Ichigo fell back asleep. "I never knew that Ichigo was such a heavy sleeper. Huh, he didn't even notice when I tossed you over the window ledge onto his bed."

Uryū again squirmed but only muffled noised came out of his mouth as he shook his head from left to right. Rukia almost felt sorry for the young boy, almost. She gave a small sigh and looked over to Uryū. "You should have agreed, Ishida, but since you didn't," she shrugged her shoulders, "you have to suffer the consequences, although I do thank you for not putting up a fight. I guess you really can't hit a woman," she gave him a quick smile and then hopped down from the closet.

She began to close the closet up but then Uryū's whines began to increase in volume. She stopped closing it and then looked over to him. "Oh, you must hate tight spaces, well; I'll leave the door open just a bit. Goodnight, Ishida."

Uryū saw from the small space that the door provided, Rukia heading back to the window and hoping back down to where he knew Orihime was as well. He closed his eyes and gave a tired shook of his head. He might as well rest while Ichigo wakes up in the morning to be able to set him free.

"Now what Kichiki-san? Ishida-kun didn't want to help us on our grand pool party," said Orihime as she walked side by side with the thinking Shinigami.

"Hmm, it's not over yet! I still have some tricks up my shirt."

"Uh, I think you mean sleeve?"

Uryū fluttered his eyes open as he saw a crack of light coming through the small crack opening of the closet. "Mmmppphh." Oh, that's right; I was attack by Kuchiki-san and Inoue-san. Who knew that Kuchiki-san could play so dirty when she kicked my groin?

Uryū was interrupted from his thoughts as he heard a moan escape from the redheaded young man as he stretched on his bed. He was still asleep but during the time he was sleeping, the sheets fell to the floor and his body was shown for everyone to see. Does Kurosaki always sleep with his shirt off? He felt a bit jealousy coming over him since he knew that Rukia sleeps in this cramped up closet.

He shook his head of such thoughts and decided to wait a bit longer until the Shinigami awakes. So, Uryū waited, and waited, until he felt his muscles begin to cramp and decided that he should wake up the dumb Shinigami.

He moved his body closer to the door and began to smack it with his knees since Rukia also tied those up as well. It wasn't really successful since all Ichigo did was scratch as his stomach and turn his body away from him. I swear I'm going to-

"Mmm Ishida…"

Uryū's eyes widen and wondered if Ichigo knew that he was in the closet, but he waited for a couple of seconds to realize that he was just dreaming. Wait. Dreaming, dreaming of me? Yeah, right.

"Ishida…"

The young Quincy's face began to turn red at the thought of Ichigo actually dreaming about him. But he quickly shook his head and decided that he was just probably having a nightmare, also, Ichigo wasn't gay so he couldn't possibly be dreaming something like that. Could he?

"You're so… sexy, Ishida."

Okay, now he knew that Ichigo was having some perverted dream that involved the Quincy. Uryū banged the door once again and this time he used all his might. Finally, he saw Ichigo stir in his bed and began to yawn, stretching his arms over his head, as he stood up from the bed.

"Damn, who knew Ishida could be so sexy in a small nurses outfit."

Uryū knew that his face was steaming hot, and once again began to hit at the closet, which finally got Ichigo's attention as he heard footsteps coming closer to the closet.

"Rukia, what the hell are you-Ishida!" to say that Ichigo was surprised was an understatement. He looked at the tied up Quincy as he glared over to Ichigo with those blue eyes of his.

"Shit, what the hell happened to you?" Ichigo grabbed Uryū and pulled him out from the closet and carried him bridal style to set him on his bed. He quickly took off the tape that was stuck on his face and the Quincy yelped in pain.

"That hurt you idiot!"

"Whatever, but seriously, what happened to you?" he then went to go find some scissors in his drawer.

"I was attacked, what does it look like?"

Ichigo came back with some scissors and began to cut the tape around his arms. "It looks like you didn't put up much of a fight. Did an old lady attack you, Ishida?" he said mockingly to the Quincy.

"Of course not! It was Kuchiki-san and Inoue-san!"

Ichigo looked bewildered for a second. "Why would they attack you?" he then completely took off the tape that was around his arms.

"How should I know? But I think Kuchiki-san said something about a pool party?" he sat on the edge of the bed as Ichigo brought his legs to his lap.

"Huh? A pool party, you have got to be kidding me?"

Uryū furrowed his eyebrows at Ichigo accusingly. "What did you do, Kurosaki?"

Ichigo returned the frown. "What do you mean "what did I do" Ishida? Rukia must have already had this crazy idea to want to try out a damn pool party-damn! She got that damn idea from that stupid manga she was reading last night."

Uryū looked at Ichigo with a bit of disbelief. "You mean to say that she got this crazy idea from a stupid manga book?" Ichigo nodded and went to retrieve it from the closet as Uryū pulled the remaining tape from his legs.

Ichigo returned and flipped pages inside the manga to find that stupid picture. "See," he showed Uryū the picture and pointed to the pool, "she must have been curious about this that she decided that she, too, wanted a pool party."

Uryū pushed his glasses up and stood up from the bed. "Well, she can't have one of those her-"

"Hey, Ichigo!"

Ichigo and Uryū both looked at each other and then turned to the window that he had to see what the whole commotion was about. Needless to say, he didn't expect what was outside of his house.

"R-Rukia! What did you do to the back yard?" screaming in a high tone as he saw a pool filled with many Shinigami who were enjoying themselves in the clear blue water.

Rukia frowned and placed her hands on her side. "What do you think? I invited some of the Shinigami to help me set up this pool. Isn't it great! We even have Chad helping with the barbecue. Now, we get to have that pool party just like in the book!"

Ichigo clenched his fist that it turned white. "And what about the back-"

"Hey, Ichigo! Are you scared of a little water!" interrupted Renji from inside the pool as he was spinning a white volleyball on his finger, having that wide smirk on his face as if mocking Ichigo.

"You wish!" Ichigo turned to Uryū and pointed outside. "Come on, you're coming too."

Uryū struggled to stay inside the room as he was being pulled by the redheaded Shinigami. "Wait, I'm in my pajamas you idiot!"

Ichigo stopped and turned his head to look at Uryū with an irritated look. "Then just take them off! Here," he began to take off his pants and was down to his boxers.

Uryū backed away from him with a blush going across his face. "Wh-what the hell do you think you're doing, Kurosaki? Put your pants back on!"

Ichigo smirked over to Uryū and crossed his arms over his chest. "What's the matter, Ishida? Scared that I'll beat you in a game of volleyball?"

That was it, Uryū narrowed his eyes over to the confident Shinigami and began to remove his pants and shirt, Ichigo slightly turned red but narrowed his eyes at Uryū once he looked at him in the eyes. "You're on, Shinigami."

Both boys jumped from the ledge of the window and headed into the pool to join the rest of the Shinigami who were playing volleyball.

"Alright! Let's pick teams!" announced Renji as he caught the ball when Rangiku tossed it at him. "Hmm, I pick Ichigo!" he said as he pointed his finger to the redhead.

"Ha!" Ichigo moved to the other side of the pool to join Renji.

Renji looked over to Rukia. "It's your turn."

Rukia smiled and looked through her choices. "Hmm, I pick, Ishida!"

Renji looked over to the girl in bewilderment. "Why him?"

Rukia smirked over to Renji and pointed to Ichigo. "I can't have you take up all the good males, now can I?"

"Tch, whatever, it's not gonna make it difference, Rukia. So, I pick Ikkaku!"

"Hell yeah!"

Soon, all the teams were decided. In Rukia's team were: Uryū, Orihime, Chad and Rangiku.

Renji's team had: Ichigo, Ikkaku, Byakuya and Nanoa.

Renji held the ball in his hand and was setting it up to launch. "So, the rules are if this ball hits the water then the opposing team gets the point."

"But if the ball hit's out of the water the other team gets the ball," said Ichigo.

"Let the game begin!" he launched the ball over to Rukia's side and saw that Uryū returned it back over, which Ichigo quickly dived in to send it back. Unfortunately, he didn't make it in time and the ball splashed the water before he could make it. Ichigo gagged up water and coughed some of it out.

"Ha! That's a good look on you, Kurosaki."

Ichigo grabbed the ball and tossed it over to Rukia's side, frowning at the Quincy as he mocked him. "Just you wait; I'll get you back next time."

Rukia set the ball up and tossed it over to the other side. This time, Renji made the hit and tossed it back. Orihime went for it and made in time. Ichigo then tossed it back and they kept the ball being tossed from team to team as neither let up. Byakuya graciously tossed the ball over to Rukia and she awed at his style but when she saw the ball already coming towards her, she couldn't hit in time and it smacked her on the forehead.

Byakuya waded through the water to reach Rukia as he checked her head. "Are you alright, Rukia?"

Rukia nodded and looked up to see Byakuya's eyes. "Yes, forgive me for being too slow," both gazed into the others eyes that they quickly forgot about their surroundings.

All the guys looked away from the weird display of affection from both the Kuchiki's and were interrupted when Renji growled out, "okay, both Kuchiki's out!"

Rukia glared over to Renji but got out of the water with Byakuya joining her as they made their way to a pair of beach chairs. Both took a seat and just watched on as the game continued.

The game began again and this time, Chad was setting up the ball to shoot it to the other side. Both Renji and Ichigo looked worried that Chad was going to either knock someone out or score a point for his team.

"Ichigo, get ready," whispered Renji over to the redhead.

Ichigo narrowed his eyes at the giant man and could feel a streak of sweat come off from the side of his face. Chad set the ball up and released the ball to the other side. Ichigo saw that the ball was going to hit outside of the pool but he quickly jumped up high and punched it back over to the other side. Uryū's eyes widen as he saw the ball coming closer to where he stood and made a dive for the ball. He made it in time and everyone's attention was on the ball that flew out of bounds.

"Out of bounds, Ishida!" said Ichigo as he saw Renji get out retrieving it. But then he looked over to where Uryū was and noticed that he didn't come back up from under the water. "Ishida!" Ichigo swam under water to where Uryū's body was and retrieved his body. Everyone looked concerned but he waved them off. "Don't' worry, I'll take him inside. You guys continue with the game."

"You sure, Ichigo," said a concerned Rukia as she saw that Ichigo was carrying Uryū like a mother would a child.

"Yeah, I'll be back." Ichigo then quickly ran into the house, and for the first time he was glad that his dad and sisters weren't at home.

He made it into his room and began pushing his palms on Uryū's chest to make him breath. "Come on, Ishida! Wake up! This isn't funny!" he kept pushing on his chest and then decided to use another method. "I swear…" Ichigo leaned in closer to Uryū's face and he licked his dry lips when he was only a breath away. He then closed his eyes and without seeing it, Uryū opened his eyes the moment he felt Ichigo's lips over his.

Uryū froze up at the feeling of the redhead's lips over his own and decided to play along as he, too, closed his eyes and let Ichigo do whatever he wanted to do. When his lips were probed by Ichigo's tongue, Uryū opened his mouth up and let his own tongue come out to play with Ichigo's. The moment Ichigo felt that appendage moving around over his tongue as it caressed it, his eyes widen. He wanted to pull away but something inside him didn't want to ruin this perfect moment. So perfect, he thought as he joined Uryū on the bed. He got on top of the Quincy and began to run his left hand down his leg and back up to where it met with his hips, going over the wet boxers he was wearing. Uryū in returned wrapped that leg around Ichigo's waist and locked his arms over his wet hair.

"Ichigo are yo-" Rukia stopped herself when she saw what was going on with the two boys. It seemed like neither of them knew of her presence and she walked back, closing up the door with a slight smile on her face. Rukia walked away from the room when she began to hear moans. Those two owe me. Big time.
