You're My Strawberry (Ichigo X Reader) (COMPLETED)

Reunited With Old Friends

It got to me yesterday about the idea. I gave my three friends a promise we would visit them after a year of being in the soul society. I missed Orihime's bright smiles... Uryu's glass when they flash in the sun light... and Chad... too who I missed taking out my punches on him.

Was this the feeling of homesickness? If it was... it sucked. If felt like half of your soul was with you, but the other part was over the other side of the world.

Rangiku came in the same time when I drank my tea. She must have sensed something was wrong because she eyes narrowed at me. "What's the matter?"

I bit my lip. "Will you promise to not make fun of me if I told...?"

"I promise."

A huge sigh came over me. "Well... I think I might be homesick."

Her face softened a bit. "Oh... what are you homesick of?"

"My old friends from high school... it's almost been a year, I've haven't hung out with them and I'm just tired from all the paperwork and need a break too."

"Can't you just talk to Ichigo about getting breaks?'

"Yeah, but I can't take too many break so people will start calling it unfair that I get so many days off."

"True, I would be jealous if you just got a whole week off."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever. Anyways can you help me with this last piece of paperwork?"

Rangiku pouted pressed her finger onto my forehead. "You're acting just like my captain when it comes to paperwork..."

I blinked, "What do you mean?"

"When I leave you get angry and call my name, then rant on and on about how I shouldn't leave you when you're in the middle work. I'm starting to think my captain's work habit has affected you."

A pause came over me. "Rangiku... that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard..."

"But it's true!"

"No... It's not."

"Fine then I'll just leave."

"NO! You stay here and finish your work!"

"HA! See?! I told you, you act just like him when it comes to paperwork!"

"I-" For just a moment I didn't know what to say. Rangiku was right, I was just acting like Toshrio. That send an unpleasant shiver down my spine. Acting like Toshiro would be... horrible? Not really horrible but I would be grumpy all the time. I sighed and hung my head. "You're right..."

She smiled and clapped her hands together. "Glad you finally agree."

Her bright and smiling face was starting to annoy me. "Yeah, yeah. Just help me out here. I really want to meet the others again but I want Ichigo to come with. Got any ideas on how that can work?"

"Hmmm..." She pressed her lips into a firm grip, "No... Sorry I only work my way out of work, not for this kind of thing."

"Ugh!" Stress was getting to me and I could feel it. I couldn't be cooped up inside this office for another day! Why? Because the missing seat of Aiko was haunting me every day, I couldn't stand it! I know he told me not to worry about him.... but how can you not worry about someone who is spending their afterlife in hell?

Rangiku could sense my distress and patted my back. "Hey it's alright..." Her eyes suddenly brighten up, "We could-"

"I am not going out drinking!"

Her smile dropped into a frown, "You're no fun. I'm just going to leave."

She flash-stepped out of the room before I could yelled at her to stay. The silence was getting to me. Every time I even took a glance at that damn chair... I could see the guilt inside stabbing at me that I killed my uncle... but... I missed him so much...
