Fourteen- Aizen's proposal

I manage to make it back to school around lunch time as I knew that Kon would be able to sense my presence. But getting away from Rukia was going to be tricky. I waited within the boys bathroom for Kon to show up. The doors finally opened revealing Kon as he let out a frustrated growl.

"Damn that girl needs to back off and get a life. She is going to drive me crazy!" moaned Kon.

"Was she able to figure out that you weren't me?" I asked the mod soul.

"I don't think so. But she did feel your reishi spike and sense the Arrancar's presence. I assured her that you dad had it covered." replied Kon. "How long is she going to hang around?"

"One week just to make sure that I am not a threat. God my week has barely begun as this happens. What else can go wrong?" I moan as I ran my hand through my hair. "I am going to take it over for now. Thanks Kon for your help."

"Not a problem. Besides it is kind of boring not having anything to do." replied Kon as he stretched out my body. I placed my glove hand against my body popping Kon out before I took his place as I then went back to my class. True to Kon's statement, Rukia carefully was watching over me as she didn't seem aware that for a while Kon had taken my place. Around lunch time Orihime came up to me.

"Ichigo can we talk?" she asked.

"Sure." I reply as I look at Keigo and Mizuiro who was giving me the thumbs up. Uryu managed to drag Rukia away. I smiled as I needed to thank Uryu later for his help. "What's up Orihime?" I ask trying to act like my casual self.

"I thought over the stuff you said earlier about falling in love with me and that you wanted to go out with me." she stated. I swallowed harshly as I could feel myself sweating bullets waiting for what Orihime was going to say. Orihime blushed as her eyes meet mine. "I like you too Ichigo. You are really nice to me and have been a good friend."

*Oh no she's going to say that she only sees you as a friend and wants to remain that way.* Shiro moaned in the back of my mind.

*Shut up Shiro. She wouldn't be blushing if she didn't have some feelings for me.* I growl at my inner hollow. "Go on Orihime." I stated as my voice sounded nervous. Orihime lightly nibbled her lip as she stood up on me tiptoes giving me a light kiss on the cheek.

"I love you too Ichigo." she whispered blushing at least three shades of red. Before Orihime had a chance to pull away, I pulled her closer planing a kiss directly onto her lips. The kiss was soft and not over heated but it didn't remain that way for long as I lightly nipped at her lips to deepen the kiss. But when I sensed Rukia's presence, I ended up breaking the kiss.

*Kill joy!* yelled Shiro in the back of my mind. Orihime blushed as I carefully wrote a quick note with my phone number on it before walking out of the classroom. I glared at Rukia.

"What?" I asked trying my best not to snap at her.

"I wouldn't have thought it possible." she states.

"Just because I am part hollow doesn't mean that I can't have feelings. I happen to care a lot for Orihime. I love her. Is it so wrong for me to actually care and/or love someone?" I snarl.
