Trick or Treat
Part 3

On Their way to the Halloween Store

“So, I heard ya won’t tell anybody what you’re goin as?”

“So?” questioned the red head Shinigami.

“Cause, I was wonderin why?” grumbled Ichigo.

“None of y’er damn business, Strawberry!” snapped Renji, not happy with the substitutes tone of voice.

“Ha, I knew ya didn’t know what you’re going as!” snicker Ichigo back at Renji.

“Nani! I know! I just don’t want to tell you, that’s all, dumb ass.”

“I’m the dumb ass? You’re the one that doesn’t have a clue!” quipped Ichigo.

“What, y’er sayin I’m stupid!” shouted Renji stopping and confronting the younger man.

“Wow, ring the bell! I think he’s got it!” Ichigo stepped forward and smirked into Renji’s face.

“I’m gonna kill ya” growled Renji closing the distance until they were mere inches from each other face.

“Ya, like you could, I remember ya lost to me the last time, shit face!”

“Will you two stop! I’m sick of you guys always arguing! I swear you’re like a married couple.” Rukia stopped and tried to break the two of them apart.

Both snapped their heads towards her, “Huh? That’s sick, Rukia!”

“Anyways, he was the one who started it.” Ichigo rolled his eyes to Renji.

“No! He was, he called me stupid.” Pointing at Ichigo.

“No, I didn’t you called yourself that, I only agreed with ya!” smirked Ichigo turning his head back to Renji.

“AHHH!” yelled Renji as he grabbed the strawberry by the collar!

“STOP IT!” Rukia kicked Ichigo in the shin and punched Renji simultaneously.

“Ugh, what was that for!” Both asked rubbing where she had hit them.

“Bakas!” she groaned and walked away.

They finally reached the entrance to the store. Renji and Rukia stood there gaping at all the Halloween Decorations. “Shit, they go all out for this holiday, don’t they?” remarked Renji.

Ishida interjected pushing his glasses up. “This is nothing. You should see what we do for Christmas.” Both shinigami’s eyes widen at the statement.

The stunned Shinigami slowly entered the store, overwhelmed by all they saw. Cut off appendages with fake blood, screaming ghost that jumped out at you, a singing pumpkin, a twitching rat in a trap, and some much more. Orihime pulled Rukia to the rows of costumes that lined the walls. “You need to see these.” she sang.

Ichigo grinned as he watched the two of them. Orihime’s overzealousness and Rukia being consumed by it was amusing to him. He started to wandered alone through the store with his hands stuffed into his pockets, looking at the different decorations and gizmos that people had come up with. Ichigo’s mind wandering back to when he came out of the school, and saw Renji in the leaning up against the tree with the sunlight silhouetting him. Renji was so absolutely beautiful at that moment. Renji beautiful? Nani? Renji was irritating, annoying, rambunctious, and grated him to the point he wanted to explode sometimes! Renji always pushed him, no matter what the situation, in fighting, in arguments, in doing things he didn’t want, into making decisions that he was uncomfortable with, and into being … a better person, a stronger warrior, a better leader. But why? Why was Renji doing this? Did Renji care for him? Over the last few months they had become friends. Yes, they argued, but it was always over stupid stuff as if they were trying to hide something from the other. Then it hit Ichigo straight between the eyes, he had unknowingly, well maybe knowing a little bit, had been flirting with Renji like a little boy who didn’t know how to express his feelings. Oh My God, I have a crush on Renji! And of course right at that moment of realization, he turned the corner of the aisle and he came upon the aisle that Renji was in. Ichigo stood back and watched Renji cautiously about to push a button of a disembody skull.

As soon as Renji pushed it, the eyes began to glow and the jaw dropped open expelling an evil laugh. Ichigo couldn’t stop himself from bursting out laughing when he saw Renji actually jump back from the animated skull. Renji immediately shifted his attention to Ichigo when he heard his laughter. But instead of being furious with him, he bounced with enthusiasm. “This shit is great! I can’t wait to buy it and bring it back to Soul Society. Ya know the pranks I can pull with this stuff, would be funkin amazing!” whaled the red head like a kid in a candy store.

Ichigo looked at him and smiled, a full genuine smile. He was so darn cute, he couldn’t stop himself. “That actually sounds like it would be fun, Ren. Ya want me to help you pick out stuff.”

Renji was stunned by Ichigo’s expression. He never saw him smile like that before. Well, I’ve seen Ichigo grin and smirk, and of course scowl. But I’ve never saw him truly smile. It wasn’t only the smile on Ichigo’s face that stunned him, but also the happiness and joy that sparkled in his eyes. Oh my god, Ichigo was … Ichigo was beautiful! the concept short circuited his brain.

“Renji, I asked if ya want some help?” Ichigo repeated to him as he walked towards him.

“Oh, yeah that would be great!” Renji responded coming out of his daze hoping Ichigo didn’t notice his reaction.

“Kay, let’s start over here then.” suggested Ichigo.

Over in another part of the store Orihime and Rukia meet up with Ishida and Chad. Rukia pulled them all into a huddle. “Guys,” she said, “Are you as sick of Ichigo and Renji arguing as much as I am?”

“Hai,” was heard from Ishida and Orihime, and a nod from Shado indicating he agreed.

“Okay, I have a plan to get them back!” her eyes sparkled in sneakiness as she whispered her plan to them.

So Orihime with Shado went to find the two that were being set up.
They surprisingly found them laughing together in an aisle with random Halloween decorations. “Just picture this under Kuchiki Taichou’s futon, man…” they overheard Renji say to Ichigo. When they noticed they were spotted Renji and Ichigo stopped what they were doing, and walked over to Orihime and Shado.

“Hey, what’s up?” Ichigo said.

“Well, we thought it would be fun to try on some costumes? What do you think Kurosaki-kun and Abarai-kun?”

“Might be fun. I’ll do it.” shrugged Renji.

Ichigo looked indignantly over at Renji. He really didn’t want to, but he couldn’t be out done by him. “Fine, I’ll do it too.” He reluctantly agreed.

“That’s great, come on!” Orihime said as she grabbed their arms and pulled them over to the changing rooms where Rukia and Ishida were waiting for them.

“Renji, you go in there, and Ichigo, you go in there.” Rukia pointed to the two rooms.

“Hold on, don’t we get to pick what we change into?” Ichigo asked as he was being pushed into the changing room.

“That wouldn’t be any fun, Ichigo.” Ishida spoke up.

Ichigo was now even more uncomfortable with this idea.

“Come on, Ichigo. Are ya a scaredy cat?” prodded Renji.

“Who ya callin scared?” snapped Ichigo back at him.

“Well, if ya not scared go in and put on the damn costume.”

“Fine!” Ichigo walked into the room and slammed the door. Damn Renji, he always getting me to do stuff I don’t want to. He looked down at the bench and saw the costume they wanted him to try on. “What the hell! No way, I’m puttin this on.” He screamed.

“Don’t be such a baby!” Renji said from the other stall. “It can’t be half as bad as mine, and I’m gonna put it on.” Renji looked down at the costume he had in his hands and was at a complete loss why they would want him to wear this.

“Yeah, right Renji!” Ichigo yelled back at him.

“Please Kurosaki-kun!” begged Orihime.

“No!”

Ishida stated, “You apparently have no sense of humor.”

“Go sew something ya bastard, I’m not wearin it!” grumbled Ichigo from the room.

“Ichigo, please do it.” Shado said.

“Not happenin, Chad”

“You better put it on, or I’m going to tell your Dad about what I found on your computer!” Rukia insisted.

“Rukia, what…, why…, when were ya on my computer!” stumbled a flustered Ichigo. “Damn it, I’ll put it on! But I’m gonna kill ya for goin on my computer, Rukia!”

Ishida turned to Rukia, and whispered, “What did you find Kuchiki-san?”

Rukia smirked. “Nothing, I don’t know how to work it, but he was always warning me not to touch it so I assumed there must be something.” She said softly back to him.

“Remind, me never to get on your bad side Kuchiki-san” Rukia just smiled with an evil gleam in her eyes.

“Ya, should be glad I’m not wearing my boxers or this would never work!” mumbled Ichigo. Why does it have to be so short, he thought.

“What you’re not wearing anything?” asked a wondering Renji. Ichigo is going commando! Never pictured he was the type to do that! A flash of a naked Ichigo popped in his head, making his stomach flip flop. Maybe using the word picture wasn’t a good idea., he laughed to himself trying to figure out how to put on the damn costume.

“Damn it, Renji of course I am, what kinda guy do you take me for!” Ichigo barked through the wall.

“So your wearing tighty whites, huh.” mocked Renji stepping into his costume.

“Why are ya so interested in what I’m wearing Renji?” Ichigo teased back at him.

“I’m not, you’re the one that brought it up not me!”

Brought it up, huh! Thought Ichigo his mind defiantly in the gutter! Let’s turn up the heat, and see if he can take it! “I really don’t care who knows, it’s just damn underwear.” He stated. “But when I went shopping the other day I found these new bikini briefs. And I just had to buy them. They were in my favorite colors, red and black, and they had these tribal designs that just caught my eye, so I bought them. They really are quite snug and comfy.

Huh, did he just say what I thought he said! Is Ichigo flirting with me? Nuh, he wouldn’t do that especially in front of his friends. Thinking of those friends Renji, finally had on his costume and stepped out from the changing room.

“What the hell am I suppose to be?” he asked looking down at his costume in confusion. “You’re a sheep Renji!” giggled Rukia.

“What, why would ya…”and his question was answered as soon as Ichigo stepped out from the room he was changing in.

Renji stood there his mouth dropped open at what he saw. Ichigo stood in front of him with a puffy white dress that hung low, off of his shoulders. The skirt of the dress was quite short hitting him mid thigh showing off a good portion of his long legs. In one hand he held a staff that curved towards the top in an upside down U with a pink bow tied around the staff. Ichigo looked at Renji who had white sheep ears on his head and a fleece body covering. “What the hell?” both of them said together.

Rukia and the others started to laugh at the two of them. Rukia sputtered out in between her laughter. “Ichigo, you are Little Bo Peep and Renji is your lost sheep!”

Ichigo was already bright red with embarrassment, and his face became even more red if that was possible. Renji just couldn’t stop staring at him, he was left speechless. Damn, Ichigo looked hot in a dress, kept repeating in his mind over and over again. Finally clearing his dry throat, he moved in towards Ichigo with a smirk a crossed his face and in a whisper he said, “Ya look cute!”

“AHHH!” hollered Ichigo as he ran back into the changing room. Ichigo quickly changed back into his clothes and stormed out of the store leaving three hysterical people and one grinning idiot in his wake.
