Ichigo Kurosaki

Orihime looked at each of the three people that sat at the other end of the table. Two of the three were shocked while the middle person smirked. Orihime slowly got up and placed her hand on the table. Leaning forward looking at the man that sat in the middle of his two subordinates; that still did not come over their shock, she continued.

"I have no interest in merging with a business that is on the verge of failing miserably in the world. My company is on the rise, and I love to keep it that way. My business is not a toy for you to use because you cannot fix your own. If you really want to merge with MY rising company, I advise you to take my advice. Deal with all the debt that is coming along with YOUR Company and hire staff members that do not steal and lie to make you happy. Make sure your executive management is keeping up with you and the other way around. If the numbers don't add up have an emergency meeting right away and get to the issue. Even if it's on a damn holiday call them in. Your company is supposed to be your baby, and to me, you don't even seem the type to take care of your baby. Once that is taken care of, if you still have the idea of merging with me then we will be married. Our children will be friendly, or numbers will continue to match up and we both will be on the rise, until then fix your bullshit then I'll think about your offer."

Orihime leaned off the table. She looked towards Momo and then faced the other three present in the board room.

"If you are missing something, my assistant will email you the things you need to fix. Until then, you have a great day Mr. Ichigo Kurosaki."

Orihime proceeded to walk out of the boardroom when she heard the most unbeknownst sound of laughter. Orihime stopped walking to look towards the person that was laughing. The man that was sitting in between his still two shocked subordinates continued to laugh. He wiped a tear from his eye. He got up and walked straight to her. Looking straight into Orihime's eyes he started to speak.

"Ms. Inoue I'll let you know my bullshit is fixed. It's your bullshit that needs to be fixed. Why do you think I'm here?" Orihime gaped at the man that stood before her. Taking in her shocked appearance he continued. "Ms. Orihime Inoue, your sales are raising but it's your company's people that need the assistance. Yes, they are doing well for themselves; for now, but they need to do better, or your rising company won't rise any higher than it already is." He moved his hand and slowly moved a strand of hair that fell from behind her hair.

Orihime came over her shock and slapped his hand away.

"I'll take my chances. Besides, you cannot fool me, Mr. Kurosaki." Orihime placed her hands on her hips squaring off with the tall handsome man that stared into her eyes.

The man Kurosaki stood tall about 6 feet with a dark navy-blue suit with a silk navy blue tie to match, his bright orange hair framing his handsome face with well-defined cheekbones and deep brown colored eyes that spoke authority.

Ichigo started in her eyes. His eyes then roamed her body. The curvy shape that filled out that white pants suit and her bountiful chest almost looked like it was about to burst out from it. Also, the way her body pronounced that she stood alone and knows her position well turned him on.

Momo and the two subordinates stared at the two CEOs who seemed to be lost in their own world.

One of the subordinates cleared their throats to bring back the two to reality. Snapping their heads to the little lady that cleared her throat they glared at the rudeness.

"What is it, Rukia?" Ichigo finally spoke.

"You're pretty much ogling the lady. Geesh, look Ms. Inoue we apologize but we have come here to let you know all things have been cleared up and Ancient Colored Collection has a clean slate and is willing to and asking to please join you to boost not only this company but our companies' sales even more," explained Rukia Kuchiki

Orihime walked back towards Momo who still stood by her boss's chair. Grabbing the sign-off paper that Momo held, she then walked back towards Ichigo and slapped it in his chest.

"Before you sign this, I advise you to read every detail and rule of MY Company before we make it any further."

"Isn't it going to be OUR Company soon?" Ichigo smirked.

Rolling her eyes, Orihime looked toward Momo, who knew it was time to go. Turning back towards Ichigo she continued.

"I advise you to read everything because I will be testing you and see if I really can share my company with you."

"Thank you, Ms. Inoue," smiled Rukia. Orihime nodded her head and made her way toward the door.

"Soon to be Mrs. Kurosaki," laughed Ichigo.

Stopping mid-step Orihime turned to face Ichigo.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, Ms. Inoue you were the one that said that when we merge, we will be married, or was that all talk?"

"I was not talking about physically marrying you rotten imbecile, but as our companies join together, they will be married. Idiot." Orihime continued to walk out, not turning back.

Handing the documents to Renji Abarai; his other subordinate, Ichigo continued to look at the retrieving back of the beautiful Orihime Inoue. Rukia took the documents from Renji and slapped Ichigo on the head with them.

"You fool! We were this close to losing the damn merge what the hell is wrong with you!" shouted Rukia.

Turning to his subordinates, he couldn't help but smirk.

"Um, Rukia I think that strike might have loosened some more screws in orange top over here."

Ichigo quickly flashed Renji a glare and turned back to Rukia.

"The only thing that matters is that we go it. So, let's go. I have plans for the evening." Rukia looked at Renji then they both turned towards Ichigo who was already walking out the door towards the elevator.

"Ichigo…" Ichigo continued to look ahead with a determined look on his face. Rukia continued, "You're meeting up with her, aren't you?" Her eyes searched his to see if he would provide her an answer.

"That's none of your business Rukia." He said as he took out his phone as it was vibrating.

"Hello?" He answered. Suddenly he stopped walking and groaned. "Okay, I'll be there in 30 minutes." Placing his phone back into his suit jacket pocket he turned towards Renji. "I need you to set up a dinner date with me and Orihime tomorrow night" Pressing the elevator button.

"Is it to establish more on the documents?" asked Renji.

"Hell no," Ichigo laughed. "It's a talk about claiming what's rightfully mine, and to claim her body. We're clearly married!" he laughed.
