Ichigo's POV:
The rays of the sun hit my skin as I began to wake up. Great its Saturday, the day of the lie. I got dressed and ready to go visit Orihime. As I walked down to the kitchen, everyone was there. I didn't bother to eat breakfast but I had to talk to Rukia. I informed her that I would be leaving to Orihime's house for the whole day. I asked if she could inform Karin and Yuzu so they wouldn't worry. Rukia didn't look me in the face she just shot a thumbs up while looking down at her plate. As I was going to walk out the door I was stopped by Rukia.
"Ichigo, thank you," she said with a small smile. I could tell that it wasn't a happy smile but one full of sorrow. I gave back a nod and one of those smiles back at her before I walked out the door. The morning winds blew making my body tense. As I noticed I was just outside Orihime's apartment, my heart began to beat non stop. I got the courage to move my body and go to her door.
As I stood in front of the door I couldn't move my body. My mind was telling me to knock but my body just wanted to go back home. I finally knocked on Orihime's door but no one answered. I stood there a couple of minutes before I knocked again. Again, there wasn't no answer. I know she's here because according to Tatsuki she hasn't come out her house for days.
"Orihime, I know you are home. Listen I have to talk to you about what you heard last night. It was all just a lie. I felt bad for Rukia because she is a great friend of mine. Every single word I said to her was, the words, umm, I lied. So please open up and talk to me," I struggled saying. Suddenly I heard the sound of a lock unlocking. Orihime's door opened slightly revealing a side of her face. Her eyes were puffy and red revealing that she had been crying.
"It was a lie?" She questioned in a croaky voice. I couldn't say it again so I just nodded my head in approval. She closed the door, as I heard the sound of more locks becoming unlocked.
"Come in Ichigo. Have you eaten breakfast yet?" She asked me. As I was going to answer her I was interrupted by a grumbling sound coming from my stomach. The smell of breakfast filled my nose as Orihime pulled me into her house. We both sat down as we ate in silence.
"So what are you doing today Ichigo?" questioned Orihime. I was supposed to be with Rukia yet I'm here.
"Anything you want Orihime," I replied as I stuffed my mouth with food. Orihime squealed in excitement. This whole day just me and her, no Rukia. Damn it Ichigo we are doing this for Rukia so at least give it a try. For her, to make her happy.
"I heard there's a new flavor of ice cream. We should go right after I wash the dishes," squealed Orihime as she stood up. I shot a thumbs up and a fake smile in approval as she walked onto the kitchen with our plates. I laid back and just enjoyed the silence. Suddenly I felt a hard grasp and pull on my hand.
"Come on Ichigo! Its 12:00, we need to get there before the store is full,"exclaimed Orihime with a large grin as she pulled on my arm. I quickly got up before she tore my arm off my body.
As we walled down the street I noticed Tatsuki walking our way. As she came closer Orihime squealed and greeted her. She told Tatsuki how we were going to get ice cream.
"A date? Well Ichigo I'm glad you cleared things up with Orihime. I'm going to train right now but don't you dare hurt her," threatened Tatsuki. I admit it even though I am part Shinigami Tatsuki still is pretty strong and scary.
