Bleach Fan Fiction ❯ Love Potion ❯ Chapter 2

[ A - All Readers ]

Chapter 1:

Inoue Orihime is sweating profusely. She thought of this a thousand times. She was hesitant about dong it and tensed with her desire. Kurosaki Ichigo-that name is her one and only desire. That name is marked on her heart. That name is her only deisre.

After many years on fighting together with the Shinigamis, they decided to make a new start as a human. Ichigo, Uryuu and Orihime finished High School while Rukia and Renji prefered to live in the human world.

Orihime remembered all the things that they had gone through. Ichigo is such a great friend. He would always protect them and do his best on everything. She walked faster, encouraged by the thought of him in her mind. She finally reached the laboratory room and made the love potion for him. Tears were falling down her cheeks as she do it.

On the other hand, Renji wants to ask something to Orihime. Probably about Chemistry. He knows that she's one of the smartest individual in their class and he really wants to learn, though it's definitely hard and hey, it's something new to him.

As he walk by, a weird sound coming from the laboratory room threw him and maybe because of curiosity, he tried his very best just to open the window without making any noise. His eyes widened when he saw Orihime stirring some chemicals and stuffs that he doens't give a fuck about. There ain't such things in Soul Society and he wants to know its purpose or what the hell it is for.

A frown suddenly came up on his face. He took a harder hold on the book that he's carrying. Then he realized that Orihime is crying. But why? What happened? Hell if he'd know and that's the main reason why he is there looking like a dumbass trying to figure out what the hell is happening to her.

"Kurosaki-kun, I don't know what to do," She paused and cried like a third grader elementary student scolded by its teacher. She doesn't want to do this crazy thing to Ichigo but she can't blame her heart. Heaven knows that Love is just a chance we take. And now, she has to do something to get him. This is the only way that her heart knows. "Hate me for loving you."

The vice-captain of the 6th division was shocked and tried not to act in a violent way. Yes, it is confirmed. Inoue Orihime is deeply inlove with Kurosaki Ichigo. And the mixture is a Love potion. From the very beginning, Renji thought that Orihime is inlove with him. Of course he just never mind it simply because he is not part of her business and he isn't that sure if she really likes him. He doesn't know the mind of a woman. But now it's confirmed. And the next question is, What will happen next?

Renji stood up gently and began to walk with soft steps. He doesn't know his role on being their friend. Does he need to tell Ichigo this? Or should he support Orihime on her plan? Or maybe just be silent in a corner and act like he doesn't have any idea in anything? Oh, I'm telling you, this is all messed up. If he told Ichigo, what about Orihime and if he supported Orihime, what about Ichigo? He let out a deep long sigh. He almost forgot that he went there to ask her his assignment.

"This is really a serious matter." He said to himself.


Rukia was introduced by Ayumi to her sophisticated friends. The girls all looked at the petite lady from head to toe, as if she had done something fishy to them. It made her feel uncomfortable. She just looked at the ground, she can't speak and it's like she's nervous or something like that. Though she knows she must not feel that way.

"Rukia, right?" Sakura asked her, not looking at her.

She shooked her head and nodded.

"Sakura-chan, my friend wants to join us and uh, I think that she's qualified to be part of our group, don't you think?" Ayumi smiled at Rukia and the girl also gave her best shot of smile.

"If she would pass our consequence, why not?"


Consequence? Oh darn, she thought she can easily join this group. But she's definitely wrong and what's that consequence? She's nervous, it might sound silly. Actually, being a shinigami never made her feel nervous and now a little bitchy consequence will make her feel tensed? Ah please, you're kidding me. Then she finally tried to asked.

"What is it?"

"Soon .... It'll be revealed soon."

Sakura's tone makes her going crazy. She wants to know what is it. She wants. She wants. Probably for the sake of her curious thought. If only she can ran away but no, she won't and even if it's okay to do so, she won't. She thought of running away but when she realized how immature it is, she quickly told herself this "Act your age, Rukia."



It's a Friday night and the college students were excited to go somewhere to relieve their stress. Students call it Nightlife. Teachers call it a waste of time.

Ichigo was invited by Mizuiro to a bar obviously for the purpose of enjoyment, pleasure or just to hunt girls. Nah, Mizuiro's favorite topic are girls, girls, girls. Unlike Ichigo, who always think of some things that are somewhat boring. Ichigo knows it. He must admit. That's why he's now here with Mizuiro. He just want to prove that he's not that boring and that he also knows how to enjoy teenage life.

The bar is full of colored lights and loud music. Everybody is dancing and partying hard. Ichigo looked around and his eye caught many girls, I mean pretty girls. But none of them made an impression to him. Mizuiro's lips were curled into its fullest while looking at the sexy girls.

"I'm bringing sexy back! Yeah Yeah!" Mizuiro sings his favorite Justin Timberlake famous song and it irritates Ichigo.

Ichigo just scratched his bright Orange hair instead of giving a bad comment to his dear womanizer friend.

A group of girls caught Mizuiro's playful eyes. He pulled Ichigo's wrist so that he's able to follow him. The women in the said group were looking at them while drinking some alcoholic beverage. Rukia is part of the said group, she was invited by Ayumi to join them. She doesn't even know that it's the place where she'll met Ichigo after many years.

"Hi girls!" Mizuiro greeted them while chewing a bubble gum. Ichigo remembered that chewing bubblegum is Mizuiro's signature move to attract women because according to Mizuiro, it's hot. "Care if we join you?"

"The seat beside me is empty." Sakura smiled childishly and this is an enough invitation. Mizuiro sat beside the sexy girl.

While talking to the other girls, a familiar voice interrupted Rukia. She turned to her back. Her cerulean eyes widened as if she saw a hollow, actually an asshole (in her own language) and that asshole is actually Ichigo. She used to call him asshole. But kidding aside, she thought of what he's doing here? She looked at him once again to make sure that it's really him. And nothing changed, Ichigo is still laughing with Mizuiro. She stood gently and did something that is to walk towards his way. She did it though her legs feel weak.

"It's been years, Asshole."

That voice. That cold voice. That cold familiar irritating voice. That voice is Rukia's. Yes, he's not wrong, it's Rukia's. He looked at his back. She expects that he'll reply but he just can't. He really wanted to see Rukia but not this time. But not in this kind of place and situation.

"Aren't you Rukia?" His question is simple and he doesn't need a complicated answer so she just smiled. Then he continued "What the hell are you doing here?" Ichigo asked in between laughs.

"That's my line."

After all these years, she's still like that?-Ichigo's mind is screaming but he tried to hide his thoughts. She just looked at him and noticed how much he had changed. It seems like he got taller and he looks so mature now. But she's not so sure because he's still always think he's right (by the way he acted a while ago). Then she shake her head to come in to the present.

"So, where do you-" Ichigo's question is not yet finished when he realized that she's about to puke. "As I've thought!" he said in the lowest tone he can.

Then she can't help but to hold him as she continued puking. The people were looking at them which mad him feel uncomfortable. What should he do? Should he run away from her and pretend that she's a stranger? People might think that they're a couple. His mind wants to burst. There are so many idea that comes in to his mind but he can't do anything until he felt that he puked at his shirt.

"Look what you've done!" He shouted at her. "That's what I'm talking about! You see, I told you not to come here and what you have done just now is nothing but gross!"

Instead of answering Rukia just stood up straight and said that she still wants to party. Then right after she answered, he decided to take her home. And although she tried not to let him carry her, she hadn't do anything.


The sun was shinig bright at the land of the rising sun as Mizuiro looked at the window. He thought it's already noon and he is just about to wake up. His body is completely tired and needs to rest. Nothing beats a good sleep-he thought. Last night was a very great night. In fact, his cellphone is filled with many new numbers again. Then the smell of the delicious food being cooked at the kitchen reached him. The bed was already done and he stood gently and went to the bathroom to fix himself first then went downstairs to check who's cooking.

"Yo! Keigo the food woke me up!" Mizuiro gave him a healthy tap on his shoulder. "Where's Ichigo?"

"Still fast asleep with our special guest!"

"Guest?"

"Exactly, you wanna know who?"

"You want to tell me," Mizuiro opened the fridge and get the fresh milk. "and I have no objection to hearing it."

"Fine, it's Kuchiki-san." He looked at him, he's not shocked or anything and just smiled. He wonders why, it's been years since they last saw her. He must be surprised in her sudden appearance. "You're not suprised?"

"Why should I?" he questioned him back. "I saw her last night at the bar."

"You mean to say .... The three of you had party?"

He just nodded.

"You didn't told me! You're always like that ... Oh, I understand, for if you join me, the girls will all come to me and you don't want that.." Then the bastard laughed loudly.

"C'mon, let's wake them up. He has a basketball practice today right?"

"Roger!" Keigo said in a cheerful voice and saluted him like a soldier.

The two went upstairs and easily reached his room. Keigo is now before the door and gently put his ear. Mizuiro thought it's childish and worthless to do. For sure, he won't hear anything, and he just can hear nothing. So Mizuiro asked him to open the door. They know that he won't mind it because they just want to care that he has a practice. And there's nothing more.

"Ichigo," Keigo whispered and can't believe on his eyes. He took a moment to rub his eyes to make sure that what he had seen is real.

The view didn't changed. And this time he's now sure that Ichigo is really hugging Rukia.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He asked his womanizer friend and it nodded.

Then silence.

Ichigo suddenly felt that there are other people inside the room. He scratched his bright Orange hair and then saw his speechless friends after he yawned. Then suddenly he felt his tongue can't move. He can't speak but he has to explain. For he is sure that Keigo thought there's something going on between the two of them. The said view minutes before was a strong evidence-even though he'd deny it, they're clearly having a mutual relationship. Ichigo never hugs a girl without a valid reason.

He shaked his head. And tried to clear his throat. To start talking or maybe explainig to them. He felt dumb, even to Keigo, it's the first time he felt like this. And he hates it.

"Keigo ..... ah Mizuiro .... It's not what you think." Ichigo is lost for words.

"But you love her." Mizuiro finished.

Ichigo nodded.

"Open off the Bacardi!" Keigo cutted the seriousness between Ichigo and Mizuiro. He laughed and walked closer to his friend. "We should celebrate! I mean, it's the first time you said you're inlove .. Ahh, I wonder what spell did Kuchiki-san cast on you .... Man, you're being mature now .... Go strawberry!" He laughed and it made him feel nuts. But he's happy, atleast saying to them that he loves her came out to be easy. Thanks to Keigo's Bacardi thing. And sure, he wants to drink Bacardi tonight, since he want to have a welcome party for her.

"You have a basketball practice today, by the way." Mizuiro reminded him.

"Oh darn, I forgot!"

Ichigo is late, but the coach didn't mind it, though they're team is under a strict practice. You know, they need to win for the sake of their university's name. He was considered the MVP last year so he was expected to make a good performabce on the coming event. And as each day unfolds, the pressure on the chest of every players grows and grows.

Sakura's eyes were glued to him badly. Then she remembered that he was the guy last night. It's probably the reason why he's late today. He's kinda cute-She must admit. He's tall, he has a nice hair. Orange, cool and at the same time hot. Spiky, just good. He also has those hardcourt moves. And as she looked at him, an idea suddenly hit her.

"Girls, call Rukia-chan."

Minutes before they call her. Rukia woke up feeling a headache. Hangover-she thought. Then she looked at the room. Where on Earth is she now? Then she tried to remember what happened yesterday. All she can remember is she saw Ichigo then nothing more. Her mind is now blank. She tried to got up on the bed and stand firmly. She saw a school uniform hanging up on the handle of the closet. It was exactly the same uniform that the boys in their campus wore. Then she tried to walk without looking at the floor, her eyes were still pasted to the uniform and she wanna know who owns it. While walking, she didn't seem to notice that the ID was left on the floor and she slid her left foot there. She felt the pain in her back. "Ouch!" She just exclaimed. It took some minutes before she can finally sit up. She saw the ID and it belongs to Ichigo. She laughed in her mind when she saw his picture. But at the same time, she examined his face well. His face has now lost the softness of youth. And he looks like a man now. And though she tried to deny, it does not change the fact that he's definitely cute.

Then suddenly she felt that she's starving. She also wanna see the whole house. How did it look, Is it big or small? It just looked good to her. It has enough space for them. She thought maybe Mizuiro is also living here, 'cause he's with him last night. He wondered about Keigo, Orihime, Ishida, Chad and Tatsuki. Do they still get together? She doesn't know.

She tried to stand up but her legs really feel hurting. She can't help but say "ouch". And when she finally made it. She let out a sigh and tried to move her legs again. But before she can move her legs, a soft smooth thing touched her. What is it? Maybe it's just the air. But she looked at the window infront of her, and the sun was set as high. It's just her mind or hunger possibly. And again, that thing touched her again, this time she turned her back but haven't seen anything. Then she looked at her legs.

"Nee-san,"

She felt happiness in her heart. It's Kon. She missed him. And though they always argue a few years ago. She knows he's a good friend. Once she looked at him, she felt pity for him. He was still in that plushie stuff toy. But that's okay, what's matter is that he's in good hands.

"Oh Kon!" She picked him up and hugged him very tight. "I missed you so much!"

"Nee-san .... My Nee-san .... You're really here .... I missed you too."

She felt like he is now abusing. So she quitted on hugging him and stepped her foot to him. He was not surprised. It's the same action by her that he's used to.

"You're really my Nee-san ...." he just said.

She opened the refrigerator and Kon told her that there's a note posted there. She quickly got that and read. It says:


Rukia,


I just went on school for a basketball practice today. Actually, I'm late now. And for you to know, you really got drunk last night so I have no choice but to take you home. I hope you understand what my action meant. We're still friends right? So it means I care for you. Uhm, Whatever! It's your fault. A girl like you should not dare to do this. I don't know what you're age is, but you're not young anymore. You must know the right from wrong. Anyway, Keigo prepared Tonkatsu today for us. But since you don't eat Tonkatsu (as I remember), I just cooked Katsudon for you .... Don't forget to call me on the phone after you leave the house. I still want to catch up to you .... I mean what's going on now in your life? And to Renji as well.

I guess it's too long, So bye for now and take care.



Ichigo


What does this mean? Literally, it just mean what it mean. But emotionally, it was sweet and a caring note. Sweet in the sense that he had cooked for her though he can't cook. And caring in the sense that he even cook for her though he's now late. It means he really cares for her, knowing that she can't eat Tonkatsu. Man, it's been years. Why did he still remember that? She doesn't care about it. What's important is the sweet gesture he had done for her.

Rukia finished off eating when she received Ayumi's call. The Katsudon is delicious-she must admit. She loved eggs since birth and she loves the sauce and meat inside it. And also the cucumbers. She would definitely call, just to thank him for this. And back to calling issues, the girl told her to come to school for some important matters. She thought about it then realized that it might be the consequence that they had told her yesterday. Right now, she was kind of nervous and tensed. But at the same time curious.

So she went on to the train station.
