Ichigo had called the pet shop the day after the weird dream,he was going to call out of work because he was in a stage of confusion over the girl in his dream and he had been racking his head all night trying to figure out who this Rurichiyo character was,so no sleep was had. Thinking all night so much about a girl he didn't know he ended up with a major headache.
"Hello Zaraki Pets,Urahara speaking how may I help you?"
The cheery voice of the blond manager flowed through the phone. Causing the red head to sigh heavily.
"It's me Ichigo." the red head said as he scratched the back of his neck.
A snort was heard on the other side of the line.
"Oh its just you Ichigo,you made me use up a perfectly good greeting." The blond continued to whine,irratating the Kurosaki.
"...Are you done?"
"Hmmm let me think about it..." the blonde hummed for a while."Yeah so what can I do for you Ichigo."
"I'm taking today off like you advised." The brown eyed male sighed.
The blond hummed again.
"Ichigo. I think you should just take a week off of work. You're a great worker and you've been having some trouble with your personal life. I'm only saying this cuz I care for you as if we were related by blood."
"You serious?"The strawberry said with disbelief in his voice.
"Yup so you're just gonna have to deal with it. See ya."
"Wai-Wait Urahara!"
The line went dead and Ichigo cursed as his grip on his cellphone tightened.

Ichigo growled at the memory and turned on his side trying to figure out what he was going to do with the remainder of his forced "vacation". His phone began to blare and the strawberry groan as laziness took over him. After a few minutes of trying to concentrate on the ring tone to figure out who it was he finally realized who was calling him.
"And she's broken down, just look into her eyes, you can see that something's missin'
She's broken down, just look into her eyes, you can see that her heart's broken."
Ichigo looked at his phone remembering that he let Kenryu pick at ringtone for himself in Ichigo's cellphone. He picked up his cellphone before the song repeated once more.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ichigo. How are you doing?"
It was Kenryu,the red head sighed as he laid back down on his bed.
"I've been...Agh Kenryu I'm bored outta my mind."
"Aren't you at work?"
Ichigo snorted.
"No Urahara tricked me into a vacation two days ago,told me to take a week off."
The black haired male on the other end of the line hummed.
"How about you and me hang out today? You're just wasting away a good chance to reconnect with friends by just staying cooped up in your room. Lets meet up at the park near my house."
The strawberry nodded even though he knew Kenryu couldn't see the gesture.
"Thanks Kenryu that'd be great I need a distraction right about now."
Kenryu chuckled.
"Anytime."
And with that said Ichigo hung up,got off his bed and got ready. Before leaving he looked at the clock it was only 12:32 in the afternoon,this day started to seem like it wont end as fast as he'd like.
"Sooo...Kenryu huh king,gonna go on a date?"
The strawberry blushed as Shirosaki snickered.
"It's not a date I'm just going to hang out with one of my friends 'cause I haven't seen him in forever."Ichigo mumbled to himself.
"Sure,okay whatever you say king."
Ichigo stopped walking when her remembered about Rurichiyo,he then continued walking.
"Hey Shiro...do you know a girl named Rurichiyo?"
The red head felt rage bubble in his stomach.
"I don't know who the fuck your talkin' 'bout,I don't know no damn chicks. How can I when I'm always stuck in your damn noggin."
Ichigo growled as his own anger formed.
"I don't understand why you're getting pissy Shiro."
"You're the one askin' me stupid questions ya prick."
"Well I just thought asking you wouldn't hurt!"
"Alright strawberry short cake don't ruin your icing."
Ichigo gave a frustrated sigh and when he looked around at his surroundings he realized he was at the park already. He did a double take upon looking at the park,it was the sameone from his dream.
"Oh Ichigo you're here already."Ichigo jumped and gave a slight squeak from Kenryu coming up behind him. The strawberry turned around and rubbed his face with his hands as he took a deep breath.
"God...Kenryu don't sneak up on me like that."
Kenryu chuckled and patted Ichigo on the shoulder.
"C'mon Ichigo. What do you want to do today?"
The red head frowned as his mind draw a blank.
"Hey lets go window shopping."Kenryu insisted,all the strawberry could do was nod. They began walking off to the more populated streets in a sort of comfortable silence. Ichigo's eyes stared straight ahead as his mind wondered back to Rurichiyo and how defensive Shirosaki got when he had asked of her to him. It all didn't make sense to the red head,why he was dreaming of someone he didn't know and now Shirosaki was starting to crawl into his mind with his weird reaction. Ichigo shook his head,he didn't want to think about it right now or for the rest of the day.
"Hey Ichigo lets go look in that store."
Kenryu smiled at the strawberry earning a small grin from said person. It was a fairly good sized store it wasn't overly big,it had children's clothes,teens clothes and adults clothing. Kenryu almost immediately began to snicker as he walked over to the teen side of the store with Ichigo right behind him.
"Look at the things kids wear these days."
Kenryu pulled a hang from a rack and Ichigo's eyes widened comically wide as he stared at the weird piece of clothing. It was a jean like vest with fake fur where the collar is,rips were at both pockets also at the back with a big one and in the back its long like a trench coat.
"Who in their right mind would wear that?" Ichigo muttered with disbelief.
"Aw c'mon Ichigo why don't you try it on?"
Kenryu began coming closer with a big smirk plastered on his face. The strawberry proceeded to move back the closer the black haired male advanced.
"Ke-Kenryu put that thing down."
"C'mon Ichi you know you secretly want to try it on."
"No I don't. Why don't you try it on?"
Ichigo tried to put as much venom as he could behind the words but failed miserably as a small smirk broke through his frown.
"Please Ichi...for me?"
Ichigo chuckled,turned around and began to walk away to look at other things.
"Nah Kenryu I'm good."
An uncomfortable silence fell upon them making the hairs on the back of Ichigo's neck stand on end.
"Keeenryu?" The brown eyed male began to turn back around to face his friend.
"YAAAHHH!"
Kenryu jumped on the strawberry tackling him down to the floor. A struggle of arms and limbs,grunts and no's broke out in the corner of the store. The end result,Ichigo with a defeated look with a smug looking Kenryu by his side looking into a full length mirror and the hideous vest on the poor red head. They looked at each other and began to laugh,the next thing Kenryu played around with were the hats they tried on many even the animal hats that the little kids wore these days. All the laughter shared with Kenryu,it all made Ichigo forget about Rurichiyo and his problem.
The red head wiped a tear from his eyes and as soon as he looked up his eyes widened. Ichigo froze in place looking at two very familiar people.
"Whats wrong Ichi?"
Kenryu followed Ichigo's gaze and then scowled at the sight before them. Renji and Byakuya stared right back at them only a little ways away.
"I-Ichigo."
Renji said as he locked eyes with the strawberry,eyes wide and filled with regret. He began to shift nervously under Kenryu's and Ichigo's stare.
"Hello Ichigo. How've you been?"
Byakuya began small chat with the strawberry.
"I...I've been okay. Wha...What about you?"
"Fine thank you."
The black haired male looked at his watch and glanced back up at the red head.
"Well I'm in a bit of a hurry. Goodbye Ichigo."
Byakuya began to walk towards the exit of the clothing store. Renji lingered staring at Ichigo with a hurtful expression he seemed like he wanted to say something. He opened and closed his mouth several times but nothing came out.
"Renji."
Byakuya called after the long red haired man and he obeyed,giving Ichigo one last look before jogging to Byakuya and leaving.
"Ichigo?"
Kenryu rested his hand on the strawberry's shoulder,but Ichigo pulled away.
"I'm going home." The brown eyed male whispered.
He left silently and all Kenryu could do was look at him leave. Ichigo was hurting inside,Byakuya had acted as if nothing happened he couldn't believe Byakuya just started up a small conversation like nothing. And Renji,Ichigo could tell the red head wanted to desperately say something. The strawberry didn't want to deal with them anymore all he wanted to do was sleep,sleep and forget them both.

Shirosaki flexed his fingers,after Ichigo had gotten home he really did fall asleep and Shirosaki had taken control after a few hours had pasted. When he had seen the way Byakuya had treated Ichigo in the store,he was raging mad and he had made a decision. He was going to beat the hell out of black haired male. He didn't like it when the strawberry was hurting inside because it would affect him as well.
"Alright."Shirosaki cracked his knuckles and licked his lips."Lets get this party started."

Byakuya sighed as he got out of his family's law office,sometimes he thought it was troublesome to be a lawyer. He hated having to protect or help lower the sentence of some idiots that deserve to be locked up. He ran his fingers through his hair as he walked to his car a little ways away. As he neared his destination he passed in front of an ally and was pulled in,thrown harshly on the cold ground. He looked up glaring at his attacker.
"What do you want? I'm in a bit of a hurry."
"Che. Second time today that I've heard that outta your damned mouth."
Byakuya stared up at the albino with confusion clear on his face.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you."
The albino spit at Byakuya as he rested a foot on the black haired male's knee,grinning down at him. Earning a disgusted look from Byakuya.
"No but I believe you know a good friend of mine. Well he is more like a brother to me."
Shirosaki grabbed Byakuya by his shirt and lifted him so they could be face to face.
"I didn't like the way you treated king. I don't like you and I didn't like how you treated him. You just made yourself all kinda hell for makin' him hurt inside."
"I don't know you and I don't know who you are talking,so let me go."
The black haired male gripped the albino's hand trying to pry it off of him.
"Not a chance dip shit. You hurt king and I'm here ta make you hurt,so deal."
A.N:OOOOOOOOOOOO Byakuya got it bad XD well I didn't add the violence cuz I ain't good with fighting scenes. Oh yeah the lyrics is from a song called Broken Down Kevin Hammond
