The door to the office exploded open to reveal Rangiku smiling at Zuri, and then she grabbed her and Miho and took them down to the bar, where they sat with Ukitate and Shunsui.
“Hey guys” Zuri smiled as she sat down next to Rangiku
Miho sat down next to Zuri and noticed they had bottles of sake all across the table.
“So you and my captain?” Rangiku nudged Miho which made her blush, and then she turned to Zuri, waving her sake class in the air “You and Ichigo?”
Zuri and Miho both explained how they got together with their boyfriends, while they others listened intently. That’s when Rangiku declared that they have a drinking came.
“No thanks, we’re both too youn--” Miho spoke politely declining, but she was interrupted by Zuri.
“Sure, what the heck!” Zuri cheered as she grabbed herself a bottle of sake.
“Okay, the game is Never Never” Rangiku started “You have to say something you’ve never done and if they others have done that, then they drink some sake”
Zuri nodded in agreement while Miho just slouched down in her seat, this wasn’t going to end well.
“Okay, I’ll start” Rangiku cheered “I’ve never kissed a girl”
Ukitate and Shunsui both gulped down some sake.
“I’ve never kissed a boy” Shunsui spoke smirking at Rangiku.
Zuri and Rangiku both drank some.
“I’ve never cheated” Ukitate spoke smiling.
No-one drank anything.
“I’ve never sang in front of an audience” Zuri spoke grinning.
Rangiku and Shunsui drank some sake.
Then game went on like that for the next few hours until, it hit midnight. Rangiku was drunk, along with everyone else.
“Zuri can hold her drinks well” Shunsui slurred to Rangiku “Most teenagers I know faint half-way through the game”
Zuri was stumbling everywhere while Miho tried to help her. Each of the Captains and Vice-Captain went back to their offices to take a nice sleep while Miho took Zuri back to Toshiro’s office where she placed her on the sofa to sleep while she slept on the other sofa.
---The Next Day (With Ichigo)---
Ichigo woke up on Saturday morning and looked out the window, he was worried about Zuri, no-one had seen her or even felt her reiatsu since she left half-way through the school. Rukia knocked on his bedroom door, and then she walked in.
“We’re going to the beach today” Rukia announced smiling “Everyone is invited!”
Ichigo sighed and stood up putting on his swimming trunks after having a shower, then they headed to the beach which look disserted seeing as the only people who were here were Shinigami. Ichigo noticed Miho was walking toward the Sea Shack.
“Miho!” He called out running toward her, “Have you seen Zuri?”
Miho groaned “She won’t be here till later”
“Why?” Ichigo asked confused
“She got completely drunk last night with Rangiku, so she is probably still getting over her hangover” Miho laughed at the annoyed look on Toshiro’s face.
“What!?” Rangiku yelled “My drinking buddy won’t be here till later?”
Miho nodded
“Oh, I bought her favourite as well” Rangiku pouted holding up a large bottle of vodka
Ichigo and Miho both groaned while Toshiro just yelled at Rangiku about her being a bad influence on people. Ichigo saw that Inoue, Chad, Ishida and Sasume were all working in the shop with the food and drinks.
Then Ichigo sighed and left the Sea Shack, he waited anxiously for Zuri to arrive, but no matter how much he waited he found himself getting impatient.
“She’ll be fine, nothing’s wrong with her” Renji said sitting next to Ichigo “well part from the killer headache”
They sat in silence for a bit as they watched everyone play in water laughing and having fun.
“Here she comes” Renji pointed toward Zuri.
Ichigo looked up and blushed; Zuri was walking toward them in her swimming costume, it was a two-piece, that was a light blue with dark blue stripes doing down and across it, the edges of it were white and it had a bow between her boobs and either side of her bikini bottoms.
“Just think Ichigo” Renji started “That’s all yours”
Ichigo blushed even more when he realised what Renji said was true, Zuri was his and he was hers. Zuri sat down in Ichigo’s lap and looked up at him with a cute but devilish expression on her face.
“How’s the hangover?” Ichigo smirked, knowing she probably didn’t want him to know.
Zuri groaned “You know about that?”
“Since when did you drink?” he asked chuckling
“Well...” Zuri pondered “I use to get drunk nearly every weekend but that stopped when I moved here”
Ichigo stared at her in shock, she was a drinker? Wow there are still things about Zuri he didn’t know.
“Sis!” Yachiru yelled clomping Zuri in Ichigo’s lap.
“Yachiru” Zuri yelled hugging Yachiru
“Ken-chan, wanted to fight you, when you came to Soul Society” Yachiru began “he saw how you kicked Ikkaku’s without releasing your Bankai”
Zuri just smiled then she stood up “Come on Strawberry let’s go join the others in the sea”
Ichigo groaned but nonetheless he stood up and followed Zuri to the sea, once they were in the sea, he got splashed by Zuri, he smirked and splashed her back. Zuri then started to talk with Inoue while Ichigo talked with Renji and Kon
“Why does Ichigo get a hot girlfriend?” Kon pouted in his stuffed doll form.
Ichigo growled at him “Hey!”
“What? Everyone else is thinking it?” Kon said turning away from Ichigo.
Ichigo growled once more and grabbed Kon’s head and threw him toward the sand angrily. Then he looked over at Zuri who was smiling, he smiled as well, but then it faded, he hated how much pain he put her through, she showed no-one her pain. Zuri was a girl who never showed her true emotions and Ichigo wanted to be the guy she shows her emotions to.
