Ichigo laid back on his bed and looked at a paper that told of everything the hotel had inside. Chad was finishing unpacking and looked at his friend. "So, what do you plan on doing?" asked Chad. "Hm, they have a gym here so I think I'll go there first, you?" asked Ichigo. "I could go for a swim, they got a pool?" asked Chad.

"Indoor and heated." answered Ichigo. Chad hummed and grabbed his swimming trunks and a towel and left. Ichigo got up and looked through his bag for his work out clothes. He found them soon enough and changed out of the clothes he was wearing. He put on a white tank top and black sweatpants with a red stripe going down the side.

He grabbed a towel, waterbottle from the fridge, and a box of boxing tape. He went to the elevator and went down.

The teen let out a huff as he punched the punching bag. He was sweating a bit as he delivered a spin kick, knock the bag back. It stopped in midswing, confusing Ichigo. Stepping out from behind it was a man with short silver hair, crecent eyes, and a smile, dressed in a light blue T-shirt and jeans. "Careful, ya almost hit meh." chuckled the man.

"Sorry, I didn't see you." said Ichigo. The man chuckled again and eyed the teen. "So, ya a good fighter?" asked the man. "I'm ranked 2nd at my school's dojo." said Ichigo. "Oh, then, how 'bout we brawl, if I beat ya, we exchange names." said the man.

"Sure, why not." said Ichigo. They bowed to each other and took a stance. The man threw a punch but Ichigo easily avoided it and gave a spin kick, hitting the man in the gut. He grunted but came back with a kick of his own. Ichigo grinded his teeth a bit as it hit his side.

He went to punch the man but he ducked and grabbed Ichigo's arm. He twisted it behind the teen's back, making him gasp in pain. Grunting, he kicked the man in the shine, releasing him, and then doing a floor sweep. The man went down, and Ichigo pinned him. "You done?" asked Ichigo.

"Hm, not yet." said the man. He lifted his feet to Ichigo's stomach and threw off. In a flash, the man was straddling his waist, pinning the teen's hands beside his head. "I win." said the man. Ichigo smirked and sighed. "Fine, you win." said Ichigo. The man let him up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ichigo sat down and started taking off the boxing tape. "Ma names Gin Ichimaru, what's yours?" asked the man. "Oh, It's Ichigo Kurosaki." said Ichigo. "Hm, what a cute name, ma petite fraise." said Gin. Ichigo's eye twitched and he looked at Gin.

"If that was french for 'strawberry', I'm going to knock your lights out." said Ichigo. Gin laughed and sighed. "Sorry, I couldn't resist, ma chérie fraise." said Gin. Ichigo was annoyed, he didn't understand french. Gin then held out his hand.

"It was a pleasure meetin ya." said Gin. Ichigo shook his hand but gasped out and drew it back. His hand was bleeding again. "Oh, sorry, I thought it'd be a funny thing, didn't mean to hurt ya." said Gin, reviling a joy buzzer. "It's alright." said Ichigo.

Gin smiled and Ichigo returned it. "I'll see you around, Gin." said Ichigo. "Yep, I will." said Gin, happily. Ichigo left but stole another glance. 'He's hot.' thought Ichigo.

Shiro and Zangetsu were chatting when Gin entered the church. "Well, did ya get it?" asked Shiro. Gin tossed over the joy buzzer and Zangetsu turned the dial. It opened and he pulled out a small tube with a black/red glowing worm. "Eh, they are always gross." said Gin.

"Still, our target planted this inside him to track him." said Zangetsu. "What could tha bastard want?" asked Shiro. Gin sat down and Zangetsu noticed something. "Gin, your smile, you seem happy." said Zangetsu. "Well, I got ta fight him, he's good, made meh sweat during our fight." said Gin.

"Oh, I can't remember tha last time you fought like that." said Shiro. "Yep, plus tha guy is adorable." beamed Gin. Zangetsu shook hsi head. "You shouldn't get attached, Gin, humans and demons don't go well together." said Zangetsu. "Doesn't mean I don't wanna try." said Gin.

"It's trouble, 'member what happened with that woman ya loved?" asked Shiro. Gin flinched and Shiro sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of brought her up." said Shiro. "Ya know ya not allowed ta bring up Rangiku." growled Gin. "Calm down, we're worried about you, Gin, we don't want you to get hurt again." said Zangetsu.

"I won't get hurt, I think Ichi is inta meh as well." said Gin. Shiro kept his mouth shut and Zangetsu sighed. "So, you won't listen to us, or learn from your experience with Rangiku?" asked Zangetsu. "Nope, I ain't gonna stop till I have ma belle fraise." said Gin.
