It was past noon when some knocks made them aware that a new day came. Ichigo was the first one who woke up annoyed by the sound. When he opened his eyes he found himself still in the kitchen with something fluffy covering his body. He needed 3 seconds to understand the story. It seems like Orihime did never left his side so they end sleeping together and she probably did cover them up. Now she was dreaming peacefully on his shoulder while her hands were embracing his chest. It will be an impossible mission for him to escape without waking her up, but… He couldn't stand another knock in the door. He stood up instantly and he opened it without to check if he's an enemy or not.

"What the hell do you want?" The criminal asked being pissed for being waked up all of sudden.

"Oh… Were you still sleeping? I couldn't believe you be so grumpy after finding such a fine piece as miss Orihime." Urahara blabbered moving his fan in the air.

"Just say what you want." The younger hurries him feeling like his body pain is fighting to immobilize his body.

"Oh, you shouldn't be so cold with me. Here there are some of Tessai's you-should-take-no-matter-what pills and a new key. I prepared a very special place for you this time if the things will worsen." The seller couldn't hide his impatience of seeing the results of his hard work.

"You're way too creepy sometimes." The orange haired man answers before he closed the door right in his face. After that he let his body to slide on the carpet. 'I swear if this is going to take any longer I'm going to find a cure all by myself.' He thought right before he swallowed two pills.

"Mmm… Is it everything fine?" She asked rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Yeah… Somehow… Yeah." The man answered somehow dizzy as an effect of his medication.

"Are you sure that you don't want to see a doctor? You look pale…" The girl pointed looking at his almost white face.

"Like I told you I can't. Plus I don't think it's something what a good meal can't repair." He tried to smile confident as usually, but it was hard considering the fact that he was trying to maintain his body position.

"It's no use to hide it from me, Ichigo." The girl announces him before she was by his side and helped him to stay at the table. "I know that you don't like to rely on people and you don't trust much too, but… it seems that we're in this problem together so please accept my help from now on." The man didn't know if he should to believe his senses. He didn't know if what he had just heard it's an illusion or the girl in front of him really did grow up. "Oh, Kami, I'm so sorry. You said that you were hungry, but I was just so caught in my fight with the little blue man about if the donuts are better with wasabi or mayonnaise. I hope that I didn't say something strange in the meantime." She started to laugh embarrassed because what she could say. In the next second Ichigo's head rested on her shoulder. "Ichi-chi-go?" She called his name being anxious of their approach.

"Tsh…" He murmured couldn't find a better response. He was feeling guilty that he actually did believe her for a second, but he should know that it was impossible, at least for this moment. The atmosphere was still interrupted by his flying door. What? Flying door?

"Ichigo, you son of a bitch! At the end you didn't show your face and I ended catching a cold. I hope you have a good excuse for…. Wha? Orihime why are you here? And why are you resting on her? Don't tell my beauty that this man succeeded to corrupt you somehow, because if he did your shining knight in here to protect you." Shinji tried to act cool, but well… he tried.

"Just shut up. You deserved what you got and she's here on her own will. Now I will pretend like nothing of this did happen if you will put the door back and take your leave." The criminal threatens him moving his gaze on him. It was nothing unpredictable that Shinji was immune at the intelligence.

"You take my woman, you disrespect me and after that you want me to clean your shit? You're a monster." The blond tried to fight back but it was useless considering that his enemy was no other than Ichigo.

"Yeah, you're right. My bad, I underestimated your abilities, now that I know of what you're capable I will give you a very special mission as reward. I need you spy any strange move of Aizen's men and if something odd happens to report to me. If you will succeed to do as I say I will recognize your superiority and I will grant you a wish." The orange haired man tried hard to hide his smirk when he uttered the last phrase. It was more than clear what was the fact what the blond wishes the most.

"So if I will do that then can I date Orihime?" His question amused him even more, but the criminal moved his eyes on her.

"Let's just ask her. Will you?" The girl gulped dry seeing the fact that she was the object of their fight. She likes Shinji, but not in that way, but if she needs to do that to lift some worries from Ichigo's shoulders…

"Hai! (yes)" She smiled sweet despite her heart was crying inside. What if she just agreed to spend the rest of her life with Shinji. What will happen with her if she will be forced to marry to him and to even worse have children with him?! She's not prepared to be a mother especially the mother of his kids.

"Orihime, he's gone." He underlines when the apartment came back to normal, but the girl was too caught in her day dreaming that she couldn't hear him. Ichigo shook her hand trying to make her came back in senses.

"No, please no, I'm just not ready for that." She shouts moving his palm aside. The man looks perplex at her act till she opens her eyes to see that all was in her mind. "Ichigo?"

"Tsh… You're back to normal. I wanted to thank you for your help. And don't worry about what did you agree to. Shinji is just not the type of person to be suited for that kind of job." The man assured her after what he search for a bottle of beer in the fridge.

Orihime soon giggled being aware of the truth of his words. Yes, Shinji was too talkative and impatient to succeed something like that.

From Shinji's perspective

It's 2 pm and I'm freezing till death thanks to Ichigo. I'm right in front of one of the biggest Aizen's shop of mercenaries in the country, but I'm here from an hour and nothing did happen. It's just boring. I mean you're expecting more from the most dangerous criminals than to play shoji in the daytime.

Geez, I can't believe that I'm just staring at them for a half an hour already. I can't stay a minute more doing this because I'm starving. It seems like my stomach's sounds were heard by some divine man's voice.

"Hey, I'm going to grab something. Do you want something?" A very tall man asks his mates.

"Yeeeeeeeees! I want a big pizza and 2 bottles of tea and if… Shit. I wasn't supposed to talk." I hit my face when the mercenaries moved their eyes on me. "You can ignore me, I'm just passing." I'm trying to divert their attention, but… That was too late because a very solid man ordered me. I starting to run as fast I can my life depending on it. Ichigo you're really indebted for life to me.

The end of Shinji's perpective

Ichigo sneezed strong all of sudden.

"Are you ok? Did you catch a cold?" The girl asked concerned while she was preparing her tea.

"Not, at all. I think now the bastard of Shinji knows with who he tries to deal." The criminal smirks looking at the TV.
