.

Tatsuki grinned happily. She put back her phone into her coat pocket. The conversation with Ichigo she had just now was more than satisfying. It was nice to know that everything went like what she had planned. If things went on like this, soon, she would be ten thousand yen richer. Oh, yes, that sounded good.

All the bets, the one she had made with the guys and the one between Ichigo and those guys, would go according to her plan. Ichigo and Orihime of course didn't know about this. They might get angry at her for setting them up like this, but she knew they would thank her at the same time. Afterall, she actually did it for them, her best friends.

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't know, that the bet between him and the guys had been set up by Tatsuki. Yes, Tatsuki was the one behind the bet. It was her, the strongest girl in town, that had talked to Grimmjow about the bet. Of course, it was not easy at first to make the guys agreed since, though they might not look like it, they actually were a good friend of Ichigo. They didn't want to do anything too harsh to him. But Tatsuki finally managed to assure them that this was for his own good. She told the guys that it was obvious that Ichigo had some feeling for Orihime but she knew he wouldn't do anything if they didn't do anything soon.

Orihime was her best friend. Tatsuki knew how oblivious the girl was to her surrounding. She thought that she was not popular and she was too dense when it came to love matter. She knew that despite his look, Ichigo was actually a nice person. He would be a good boyfriend for Orihime. Only, he wouldn't have the gut to make some move... That was the reason why she decided to play cupid.

"What? Could you repeat it please?"

Tatsuki rolled her eyes. She knew Ishida, as well as the other, had heard her right.

"Well? Do you agree or do you not?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, tapping her foot impatiently. She knew they would agree with her eventually.

"I don't understand," Grimmjow furrowed his brows suspiciously, he was not the smartest one but even this guy could see that there was something Tatsuki knew that they did not know, "how do you know that Ichigo would lose the bet with us? My scores are always below his. How if it ended up I lose the bet and I have to date Inoue," then he added with a smirk, "not that I'd really mind that, but I am sure you won't let me dating the princess, now will you?"

Tatsuki rolled her eyes, he still didn't get it though she had explained to him earlier on why Ichigo would lose the bet.

"He loves Orihime," Tatsuki said matter of factly, "he wouldn't let any of you lose the bet if it means you will have a chance to date Orihime. You'll see, he would lose the bet."

"How do you know that he loves her?" asked Ishida again, pushing his glasses up, still ooked as calm as usual.

The jet black haired girl snorted. She could tell them that they way Ichigo looked at the girl said everything. Or that he had admitted it once to her, after she beat him in a sparring. She could tell them, explain to them about how the guy was actually feeling but she decided that it was not the right thing to do. Besides, it didn't seem like they'd believe that the tough guy was actually had such a cute part of him. Well, looking at your crush from a far, without ever saying a single word to her, was kind of cute and so un-Ichigo-like.

"I just know." Tatsuki said finally, "besides, only gay wouldn't want Orihime, you guys actually also think that she was hot, right?"

"Exactly," Grimmjow grinned, "I though Ichigo was a gay."

Tatsuki ignored the blue haired guy, "So, are you in or not? Let's say, you guys make a bet with him like what I told you earlier, and we'll see. IF he didn't confess his feeling before the school festival, I will give you guys ten thousand."

Grimmjow whistled.

"And if he confessed?"

A pair of green eyes looked into her dark orbs.

She smirked and rose her shoulder casually, "Well, then it means you guys had to give me ten thousand," she added before any of them could protest, "BUT, you guys didn't think that he had the gut right?"

She would win the bet.

Tatsuki smirked.

She had planned all of this and it was perfect. She tried to make Ichigo postpone his plan to confess. She wanted to make those guys think that they would win the bet and on the last day of their bet, BAM! Ichigo confessed and she won the bet. Briliant. She had never known that she was brilliant.

Besides, Ichigo could confess his feeling at the festival night, under the summer night sky... She knew that Orihime had imagines stuff like this. It would be romantic. She wanted to give Orihime an unforgetable romantic moment. The auburn beauty deserved it. Orihime would be happy, Ichigo would be happy, and she would get the money.

Tatsuki knew, that what she was doing was risky. There were also chances where her plan could go wrong but she believed that this was for the best of her best friends. She knew Orihime and Ichigo too well. She knew that this had been Ichigo's first love. He had no experience. He might be rumored as a playboy but she knew that he was actually just a big boy. It was kind of hard to believe that he would be actually shy when it came to love matter. She had seen in with her own eyes, how until just now he could only stare at Orihime from a far. Looking at him, Tatsuki thought that she had to do something. She couldn't just go and tell him that he had to confess his feeling. This was a special case, she needed to come with a plan.

Orihime was a kind yet naive girl. Tatsuki had never met anyone like her. She adored her. She knew that the only guy she would let to be with Orihime was only Ichigo. She knew that those two would influence each other positively. It would not take really long time for them to fall in love deeply with each other.

Her plan was perfect.

There was nothing could go wrong.

...right?

TBC.
