Surprise

*Tennak Reviewed*

This is a really, really hot story! I love it! At first I thought that Ichigo was somewhat ooc but then I realized that I have no idea what he will be like at twenty so your version is just fine. I whole-heartedly approve!
You have made him an incredible hot, self-assured (I hope this is a right word?) gay guy and I want to read more about what happens at his birthday party. It sounds like Renji will be in for a treat!
The way you have explained what has happened in previous years works very well and the fact that Ichigo and Renji haven't seen each other in two years works well for me and sounds plausible.
Very well done and please continue soon!
Thanks so much for sharing!
BTW Love your version of the adult Orihime! (Smiles)

Thank you very much for your review. I really appreciate it! I glad that you find Ichigo as a self-assured gay guy! That is the way I wanted to him to come a crossed. Renji defiantly will be in for a treat! Those two, well at least in my mind, were made for each other! Orihime cracks me up, I never really liked the overly sweetness of her character. So I decided to make her more, how can I say this nicely, flirtatious! All of my characters have changed since going through the war, and just dealing with life in general as they have grown older. Once again thank you for the very nice review. Now onto chapter 5 of Surprise!

Surprise
Chapter Five


All three, Ichigo, Karin, and GrimmJow aka ‘Cookie’, approached the bar.
Ichigo called over Michi the bartender.

“Hey, Michi, this is my sister, Karin. Could ya get her and her friend what ever they want, it’s on me.”

“Not a problem, Ichigo.” answered Michi.

That’s Karin, holy crap, she’s changed. She’s gorgeous, thought Rukia. Rukia ran over and gave Karin a huge hug. “Karin-chan, wow you’re all grown up. I didn’t recognize you!” she proclaimed.

Karin hugged her back. “Kuchiki-san, I missed you. How have you been?”

“Good, busy, but good.” answered Rukia.

Hitsugaya couldn’t stop staring at Karin. His body was in melt down. His mind enraptured; long legs that went on forever, short tight red dress that hugged the slight curves, firm perky breast, dark and sensuous eyes, and raven black shoulder length hair. She’s absolutely stunning!

Karin was standing at the bar and turned to GrimmJow, “What would you like to drink, Cookie?”

“Uh, why don’t ya choose for me, hun.” going along with their conspiracy.

“Well, it should be strong and have a bite to it, just like you.” Karin flirted.

Man, she’s good at this, thought Ichigo as he observed her in action.

“Michi-san, Could I have a Jack Straight Up for my friend here and a Pina Colada for myself, please?”

“Sure thing, Kurosaki-chan” Michi responded.

Chad approached Ichigo with a look of concern. “May, I talk to you for a sec, Ichigo?”

“Yeah, sure”

“What’s going on, Ichigo?”

“Nothin, it’s alright don’t worry about it,” replied Ichigo

“But are Karin and GrimmJow a couple?”

“No, their just playing around, really its alright.” responded Ichigo.

“Huh,” replied Chad still looking puzzled.

“Chad, it’s a plan they, we, came up with…” and he proceeded to tell him about the details.

“Do you think this is a good idea?”

“To tell ya the truth, Chad, I don’t know, but if it get’s out of hand, I’ll stop it.” Ichigo stated.

“Well if you need my help, you know, I have your back, Ichigo.”

“Arigato, Chad.” said Ichigo.

Michi served Karin and GrimmJow their drinks. She took a sip of hers and made an off- handed comment, “Mmm just like, I like it, cold and refreshing,” as she glanced at Toushirou.

Of course, Hitsugaya overheard her comment and couldn’t stop his reaction, all of his self- discipline went out the window, and a sudden chill descended upon the room. Those who knew what happened turned their attention to him. To relieve their concern, he cracked, “Is it me or did it get suddenly warmer in here.”

Everyone was stunned that Hitsugaya Taichou actually made a joke. Something was defiantly up, but no had the guts to say anything about it.

Ichigo waited at the bar until a song he liked started to play, and he went over to Rukia an asked if she would like to dance. Rukia jumped at the chance. She loved dancing, and after what she saw earlier, Ichigo was amazing at it. On their way the dance floor, he goaded his sister and GrimmJow to come with them.

“Karin, ya and Coo…k..ie’ (with much emphasis on the name), should come and dance with us. That is, if Cookie can dance. Can ya, Cookie?” he snickered.

GrimmJow literally growled at him making Ichigo chuckle back at him. The two couples walked over to the dance floor started to move to the music. Matsumoto grabbed Shuuhei and dragged him to the floor. Yumichika batted his feather adorned eye(s) at Ikkaku and pouted until Ikkaku gave in and following the other couples. “Please Ikkaku you know how much I love to dance, (pout, pout) I promise you will not regret it later on (he winked).” They were joined by Orihime pulling a reluctant Ishida. “Uuyru, if you dance with me I’ll… (no one could hear her since she whispered in his ear) and I’ll …. (another whisper).” Ishida’s eye began to twitch as he was pulled away. Those left at the bar consisted of Renji, Hitsugaya, Chad, Tatsuki, and Keigo.

Renji and Hitsugaya watched the couples dancing from across the room. Chad, Tatsuki, and Keigo started up a conversation about some random stuff, well Tatsuki and Keigo actually did all the talking, but Chad would nod in agreement every once in a while.

Hitsugaya gazed at Karin as her body writhed up and down the front of GrimmJow’s body. The scowl upon his face was clearly apparent. He continued to watch as she turned her body, her prefect proportioned ass pressing tightly against him. GrimmJow’s arms enfolded around her, and she raised her hand to play in his hair. Karin gently pulled his head down, and Grimm nuzzled into her neck. Hitsugaya couldn’t stop a muffled grunt from escaping from between his lips. Which Renji indeed noticed, he peered down at the captain, following the path that held Hitsugaya’s attention. A grin spread across his face.

“So you got it bad too, huh?” Renji probed.

“I have no idea what you are referring too, Abarai Taichou” Toushirou curtly replied.

“Really, no idea, huh, then please explain to me Hitsugaya Taichou why you haven’t been able to tear your eyes off of the woman in the little red dress.” scoffed Renji.

“What do you mean by, too?” as Hitsugaya realized what Renji had said.

“Clever, very clever, avoiding my question. But I will answer your question, only if you answer mine first. Do you have more than just feelings of friendship for Karin-chan?” Renji inquired.

“Shit! Yes, I always liked her. Her courage, strength, and compassion were always attractive, but now with…her, umm, physical attributes, she’s simply mind blowing.” He answered blushing profusely, “Now your turn, Abarai Taichou!”

“Apparently we are attracted to the same qualities in a person,” Renji implied.

A quick panic of fear ran through Toushirou’s mind, his not saying that he is interested in her too. Is he?

Renji continued in answering him, but with his voice lowered “But not the same gender.”

“Nani…?” exclaimed Toushirou who was taken back by Renji’s statement. “You mean your gggayyy?”

“Yup!”

“And that would mean you’re interested in… Ichigo?”

Another, “yup,” Renji answered while taking a gulp of his latest drink, a Long Island Ice Tea that Ikkaku insisted he try.

“Oh,” was all that Hitsugaya could come back with.

Silence hung in the air. It was broken by Renji, who said, “How did they learn to dance like that?” His eyes fixated upon Ichigo hips moving back and forth.

“I don’t know, but damn their good at it” Hitsugaya answered still riveted by the raven haired beauty.

While dancing, Ichigo broke away from Rukia, and moved in on Karin and GrimmJow. He faced GrimmJow’s backside and started to grind into him.

“What the FUCK! Get off me ya, fruit!” Grimm grunted.

“Why would I want ta do that, Coo…k…ie” smirked Ichigo and smacked him in the ass.

“Fuck you, Kurosaki!” yelled GrimmJow as he turned around to face Ichigo.

Karin started to giggle like crazy as she made her way to dance with Rukia and the others.

“Come on, I was joking around, Grimm, just joking, your not my type.”

“What? I’m not your type. What’s wrong with me? Fuck, did I just say that!” GrimmJow said.

Ichigo was laughing so hard, he barely got out his next sentence. “By the way, have ya noticed those two at the bar?” Ichigo’s hand came rested upon GrimmJow’s hip as he began to move again to the music. “Their eyes haven’t left Karin or me.”

Renji was not pleased by this turn of action. He didn’t like the fact that Ichigo had started to dance alone with GrimmJow, and he was furious about the slap to the ass.

“Did you see that! What the fuck was that about?” he grumbled to Hitsugaya.

“I’m sure it’s nothing Abarai Tachiou, GrimmJow didn’t seem to like it. I’m sure Ichigo is just trying to get under his skin.” replied Toushirou.

“I guess you’re right, Toushirou, I just, well, ya know…”

“It’s still Hitsugaya Taichou to you, Abarai Taichou!” mocked Toushirou.

“What the fuck, we’re both captains.” Renji hollered as he looked down at him

“Ha, got your mind off of them, didn’t it” smirked Toushirou.

“Ya dumbass, thanks though. Would ya like somethin’ else ta drink, I noticed ya gettin low on that one?”

“Why not, what are you drinking?”

“It’s good, it’s called a Long Island Ice Tea. I’ll order ya one.” Both men turned back towards the bar, taking their attention away from their tempters.
“Well, that’s great for you two, but hell, what about me?” He answered succumbing to Ichigo’s movements. GrimmJow could admit to himself, that the carrot top could defiantly dance.

“Cookie, I’ve gotta an idea. I’m gonna get Karin off the floor and leave ya alone with Rukia. I’ll get the DJ ta play a slow song, then ya make your move, got it?”

“I got it, you fucktard, just don’t make it to damn obvious.” Grimm said.

“No trust, man, your mean.” Ichigo frowned at Grimm teasing the vaizard. Ichigo tried to subtly catch the DJ’s attention. When he finally made eye contact with the DJ, he made a motion to him. The DJ nodded in understanding. God, it’s good to have friends in the right places, Ichigo thought.

Ichigo steered them closer to the two dancing women, and leaned into his sister, He whispered in her ear, “Game On!”

“Sure I’ll join you, Ichi-nii.” Karin replied out loud going along with their plan.

Just as the two headed away from the Rukia and GrimmJow a slow, romantic song began to play. GrimmJow took his opportunity, and asked his heart’s desire if she would like to dance.

Ichigo and Karin made their way back to the bar, they walked towards the two men they had their sights on. Renji and Toushirou didn’t notice them approaching.

“Hey guys. Are ya having fun?” Ichigo asked Renji and Hitsugaya.

Karin gently squeezed in between the two while Ichigo went to the open side of Renji.

“Hi, Toushirou, it’s been along time hasn’t it.” Karin said as she slide her body between them, lightly rubbing up against his side.

“Umm, yes it has been a long time, Kurosaki-san.” he stuttered.

Karin grinned at him, “Toushirou, you don’t have to be so formal you can call me Karin. What are you drinking?”

“It’s called a Long Island Ice Tea, I think, it’s sweet.”

“Oh, I like those, but I prefer frozen drinks.”

“I noticed,” Toushirou said before he realized it.

“You did! That’s nice of you.” as she continued their conversation.

Renji didn’t notice any of this because his body was on fire being so close to Ichigo. Ichigo was practically on top of him. Why is he standing so close to me?, his mind wondered, not that I mind, but…, but then he lost his train of thought when Ichigo leaned closer to him.

Renji could feel his breath on his neck when Ichigo asked, “I see ya like the tea, good isn’t? I’m sure I can come up with somethin’ else ya would like, too? I’m very good at what I do, ya know.”

Renji shivered in response, he couldn’t stop his body from reacting.

“Is somethin’ wrong?” Ichigo inquired.

“Nothin’, I just got a sudden chill, that’s all” Renji lied through his teeth.

“That’s odd, ya look at bit flushed, are ya sure your not sick?” asked Ichigo as he softly touched Renji’s forehead with the back of his palm. “Ya feel a bit warm.” Ichigo stated as he pulled his hand away letting it graze the side if Renji’s face.

Renji whimpered at the lack of physical contact, and jerked away when he realized what he had done, bumping into to Karin. The collision made Karin accidentally spill her drink on Toushirou’s shirt.

“Oh, sorry,” she said, “let me help you.” Before Hitsugaya could say anything she grabbed some napkins trying to clean up the spill. She only made matters worse by spreading the mess. “Shit, I’m really sorry.” She said again looking Toushirou in the eyes.

“It’s okay, really, don’t worry about it” Toushirou said while grabbing her frantic hands.

“But your shirt, it’s all messed up.” her voiced softened upon the contact off his hands on hers.

“It’s just a shirt, Kariinn.” He replied drawing out her name; he was having the same reaction to the physical contact.

Karin pulled her hands away when it dawned upon her, “I know, Ichi-nii, can Toushirou borrow a shirt I’m spilled my drink on him.” she called out to her brother.

Ichigo had gripped Renji’s shoulder with one hand in response to him pulling away. He pulled him back to him, and whispered in his ear, “What’s wrong, Renji?” neither noticing the commotion that was caused.

Renji was about to tell him what was really wrong, “Ichigo, I…” but he was interrupted by Karin asking Ichigo, “Ichi-nii, can Toushirou borrow a shirt I’m spilled my drink on him.”

“What, how did that happened?” Ichigo said as he let go of Renji’s shoulder and moved over to find out.

“Well, it’s not a big deal how it happened, as she looked over up at Renji. Let’s just deal with what happened, kay?” Karin responded.

Renji instantly realized he had caused her to spill when he jerked away from Ichigo and he must have bumped into her. He also realized that she was not saying anything about the accident so he wouldn’t be embarrassed by it. He nodded to her to let her know he appreciated the jester. She simply smiled back at him and looked back to her brother. Ichigo glanced back and forth between the two, knowing he had missed something.

“Well?” Karin prodded.

“Of course he can borrow a shirt, dumbass!” snapped Ichigo, he handed her his keys.

“You don’t have to be a jerk about it!” sneered Karin.

“I didn’t mean, oh forget it, just go, kay,” Ichigo shrugged. He was frustrated about what was going on with Renji, and he didn’t mean to take it out by lashing at his sister. “But I want Chad to go with ya.” he added.

“What! How dare you?” Karin screeched.

Ichigo glared at her in response, he moved faster than the eye could see. He lowered his head to her ear so only she could hear his reply. “You are my little sister, and no matter what or who, I am going to watch out for ya and protect ya, GOT IT!” his fist clenching.

Karin moved away and nodded her head, “Ai, Ichi-nii, I love you, too.” Karin smiled back at him and gave him a peck on his cheek. Both Hitsugaya and Renji stood there baffled by what was going on.

“Let’s go, Toushirou” saying as she grabbed his arm, and made her way to the stairs. Karin continued on her way until she stopped in front of Chad, “you coming or what, Shado?”

“Ai” Chad simply replied.

Ichigo walked to the other side bar, carefully avoiding the red head shinigami attention. Damn it, I thought we were getting somewhere, and once again it led to nowhere. Why do I keep doing this ta my self? I should just move on. I don’t even know if he likes men. I mean, I never seen him with a woman, other than Rukia, and her loves her like a sister, nothin more than that. But that doesn’t mean anything does it? He’s been acting weird all night, fidgety and stuff, but that could be cause he’s uncomfortable about me being gay and all. He didn’t say anything to me about it, did he! God, I ‘m drivin’ myself crazy , his mind was in chaos.
