Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 9: Goodnight

I made sure to drown my head in water to wash certain thoughts out of my brain. It also refreshed my brain and got rid of my drunkenness (forcefully). My head was in that sink full of water for a good 5 minutes before I brushed my teeth.

Walking out of the bathroom, I could hear that nobody else was awake. Mom and Dad were sleeping downstairs, and the rest of the party group left earlier.

I stepped into my bedroom and saw Ichika huddled up in her bed with a pillow against her face. Weird.

"Hello? Earth to Ichika. If you keep burying your face into that pillow, you'll either suffocate or imprint your face into there"

She looked at me, her face flushed red and shouted, "PERVERT!", before throwing a pillow at my face.

Luckily, I dodged out of the way and caught the pillow but then panicked as I realised how hard she shouted.

"SSSSHHHHHH. You're gonna wake my parents up!", I aggressively whispered.

She tried to punch me a bunch of times but I used the pillow she threw earlier to lessen the damage.

"Pervert. Pervert. Pervert"

"Be quiet, Ichika!"

Ichigo's POV:

What the hell is Kazui doing? I keep hearing these shouts in his, or should I say, his and Ichika's room. Is he of that age now?

Hopefully Kazui doesn't do anything bad because it might lead to some...accidents.

Somehow Inoue isn't bothered by this at all. She's still sleeping peacefully next to me despite the faint shouting.

If this keeps up, I might as well go Hollow hunting to stop listening to those noises.

Kazui's POV:

So I ended up burying her face in the pillow.

Well, she kept shouting so I had to shut her up somehow. Its not bad to that to a girl, right? Wait, if you put it that way...

I let go of the pillow and let Ichika free.

"Hey, sorry about that. I mean, you were shouting and all"

She punched my shoulder (really ow), "Then why did you walk in on me showering"

"It was an accident! Keigo put something in my drink, and I got drunk. I didn't even know you were in there"

"Yeah right"

"Please forgive me"

"Okay"

That's how it was between us since we were children. We got along so well that even major arguments could be forgiven easily between us. We pulled a wrong tag team against a Hollow? Forgiven. She orders the wrong type of sauce? Forgiven. Accidentally walking in on her showering? Forgiven. I guess we just click that way.

I sigh and then walk over to my bed and lay down, pulling my blanket over me. Ichika did the same thing and rolled over to the other side, not facing me.

"So how do you feel about this arrangement, Ichika? I could always just sleep on the couch"

"No, its fine. Besides, I'm staying here for a couple of months, so there's no point in making you uncomfortable by making you sleep on the couch"

"Well, thanks"

Ichika rolled over to face me. "I should be thanking you. At least you guys gave me a place to stay"

"We aren't that cruel" I turned to look at the ceiling, my head laying on top of my left hand.

"Thank you for everything"

"No problem"

She turns to face the ceiling.

"Goodnight, Kazui"

"Goodnight, Ichika"
