Chapter Forty Three

                     Filler Chapter

"Huh? The beach?"

"Yeah! Sounds fun doesn't it?" Orihime questioned with a smile. Cherī smiled nervously. They were in Ichigo's bedroom, Cherī laid on one side of the bed with a book in hand as Ichigo laid next to her a book covering his face.

"She won't go." Ichigo spoke.

"Awe~ Why not?! It's a day out on the beach! Who wouldn't like that?" Rangiku cried out.

"Calm down! I don't like going out there with a bunch of human guys who are just going to hit on me. It gets annoying. Especially if Strawberry has to be my bodyguard."

"You can take care of yourself and I am not your bodyguard." Ichigo said removing the book, his scowl still on his face. Cherī just smiled at her orange haired friend.

"Soooo, are you two coming with us?"

"Wha?! Why do I have to go?!" Ichigo quickly sat up.

"If Ichigo goes than I go to!" Cherī smiled.

"Then it's settled!" Orihime clapped her hands together.

"The both of you are coming! I can't wait to see Cherī in a bikini!"

"I have to wear a bikini? Do I have too?"

"Oh, yes! We're going shopping tomorrow with the Women's Soul Reaper Association and a few others."

"Well, we better head on home. We will see you tomorrow at the store, Cherī."

"Yeah, send me the address and I'll go."

"Okay, see you later! Don't do anything naughty you two!" Rangiku chimed with a sly grin before she and Orihime walked out the room closing the door.

"Damn that Rangiku." Ichigo frowned but Cherī noticed his cheeks flushed.

"Don't be getting any dirty ideas, Ichigo." She commented, she laughed seeing him stutter on his words while his face turned bright red.

"H-hey, t-tha-that's n-not fu-funny! C-Cherī!" He rolled over onto his stomach finding his face with the pillow.

"You're old fashioned. It's kinda hard not to tease you, Strawberry." She turned over on her side facing her friend, raising her hand she ran her fingers through Ichigo hair causing him to tense up before relaxing.

"Your hair has gotten a bit long."

"Hm? Really? I haven't noticed it." Ichigo told her as he messed with his hair that fell over his eyes.

"You'd think I should cut it?"

"Nope. I like how it looks this way." The cornor of her lips twitched upwards seeing Ichigo closing his eyes, his head leaning into her touch as she continued to gently run her fingers through his hair.

"Don't fall asleep, Ichigo."

"I'm not." She rolled her eyes.

'You are such a liar.' A few minutes later she noticed he indeed fell asleep. A sigh escaped her lips, removing her hand she sat up getting ready to stand before a hand stopped her.

"Who said you could go?" Eyes widen in shock, a gasp leaving her mouth as she was forced back onto the bed. A body was on top of her holding her wrists on either side of her head.

"Wh-what the hell, Ichigo?!" Cherī hissed at him but gaped as she looked into his eyes. They weren't the brown that she was use to seeing everyday but they were the color of black and yellow.
