It's finally Friday, everyones coming over to my place tonight and we're gonna paint a few of the rooms and hang out. It should be a fun night tonight. I looked down at my watch, which said 7:30-am. I grabbed my school stuff and walked out the door. Meeting up with everyone else we started walking to school. "So what time should we all come over tonight?" Rukia asked. "Around 6 okay?" I replied. "Alright, sounds good," she said. We arrived at school and class started. Nothing too interesting has gone on over the past few days, no really bad hollow attacks. Ichigo has been inviting me over to his house everyday after school, it's really nice and I enjoy being there even though his dad is kind of insane. Orihime and I are literally like best friends and I've been here for a week. We get along really well. Rukia and I have been catching up with each other and talking about our lives back in the Soul Society. Everyone wants to know about my assignments and missions. Of course I'm not allowed to talk about all of them but I do talk about the fun ones or the ones that I am allowed to talk about. The rest of the day was fine. Finally the last bell rings for the day, I was one of the first ones out of my seat. "See ya later!" I heard Ichigo yell to me. Turning around everyone was waving at me. "See you guys later!" I yelled back walking out of the classroom.

Getting back to my apartment I walked in and put my school stuff in my room, and cleaned up a little bit. I never finished laundry last night. I'm sure that would be interesting for the guys to walk in and see that everywhere. So I started folding it and put it away. Before I knew it, someone was knocking on the door. It was around 5:30. Opening the door, I saw that it was Orihime. "Hi! I hope I'm not too early!" she said. "Oh its fine, I was just finishing laundry." I said laughing. "I thought I would come over and help you out with everything," she said. "Oh thanks, thats so nice." I said smiling. Not too long after she had arrived, there was another knock, at the same time my phone started ringing. Orihime stood up, "I'll go get the door you can answer your phone." "Okay thanks." I said. Tara was calling me. "Where have you been the past couple of days?!" I said answering the phone. "Sorry I've been on a mission!" Tara replied, "I literally just got back!" "So the first thing you did was call your sister?!" I teased. "No, the first thing I did was hug my man!" she yelled at me. "Haha, very funny." I replied. "What kind of mission were you on?" I asked. "The kind I can't talk about yet, you know how it is," she replied. "Ah, yeah I know." I said. "I have to go see Head Captain and the other cap-" she froze. "shit." I heard her whisper. "You don't have to go see the Head Captain when you get back, you usually fill out paperwork." I said. "Haha, yeah I just feel like..visiting him!" she replied trying to play it off. I heard laughter in the background. "Shut up Toshiro! You're not helping!" she yelled. "Do I want to know?" I asked. "No!" she snapped. At this point Orihime and everyone else was standing in my living room. "Is that Tara again?" Ichigo asked. "Yeah." I replied "You guys can sit down or whatever I'll be getting off the phone in a minute." Everyone just stood there for a minute and then moved around. I didn't take note of where everyone went. Tara was talking to Toshiro. "So! I kinda have something to attend to, I'll talk to you later okay Tara?" I said. "Well, don't call me after 10 o'clock!!!!" she replied. "What are you setting a bed time for yourself???" I asked. "Yeah, we'll go with that," she said hanging up. I closed my phone while laughing. "What is so funny?" Uryu asked. "Oh nothing, you wouldn't understand." I replied. "What do you all want to do?" I asked. "Its up to you." Ichigo replied. "Didn't you want to paint a few of the rooms here?" Rukia asked. "Oh right!" I exclaimed. "Do you guys want to do that?" "Yeah!" Orihime said. "Alright then." I said, "Well let me show you guys around first." After showing everyone around my place, we set up in my room. Orihime and I went shopping for all of this paint stuff over the week. Since I have a lot of money from the Soul Society, I got all kinds of different colors. The main color for my room is a medium tone hot pink. My bathroom, a light yellow, office, light mint green, and the guest room, sky blue. I'm leaving my living room and kitchen alone for now. I'm having Yumichika come here on Monday he'll be helping me with some designs and furniture stuff. He's my best friend and hopefully nobody else will join him. After about 2 hours of painting we decided to stop and order pizza. We managed to finish my bathroom and the office. While waiting we started in my room. Two walls done. "Where does this door go to?" Uryu asked. "Don't go in there!!!!!" I yelled running over to the door which lead into my closet. "Um why wont you let us go in there?" Ichigo asked. "Because I just don't want you to." I replied. "Isn't that your closet?" Orihime asked. "Uh yeah it is…" I replied. "Just please don't go in there okay?" Everyone nodded. I didn't want them to see that I threw all of my laundry stuff in there. As we were just going along painting one of the last walls Orihime accidentally got paint on my arm. "Oh, haha I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that!" she said. "Its alright" I said and I got paint on her arm. "I see what you did there!" she said laughing. "I declare a paint war!!" I yelled "and everyone is involved!" Looking at Rukia who was standing in the corner trying not to pay attention. I looked at Orihime, Orihime looked back at me, we both nodded at each other, picked up paint brushes and walked over to Rukia. "Rukia" we both said at the same time. She turned around slowly and before she could even say, "What" we flicked paint at her. The paint splattered across the front of her dress. "Oh its on," she said. Hearing someone laughing behind me, I turn around and see Ichigo standing there painting the same spot over and over while laughing. "Oh really!" I exclaimed turning around. He turned around to see what was going on. "Think fast!" and I threw paint at him. "Hey what was that for!" he yelled. "I said that everyone was included in the paint war!" I replied. Uryu was standing a few feet away laughing at Ichigo, from the corner of my eye I saw Orihime walk over to him with a paint brush loaded with paint and then she flicked the brush getting paint all over the back of his shirt. He quickly spun around, "This is a new shirt!" he yelled. "Why would you wear a new shirt if you knew you would be painting?" Ichigo teased. "I didn't think this sort of thing would be happening" he yelled at him. "Well, even if it didn't you still don't wear a new shirt to go paint!" Ichigo yelled back at him "I'm sure that you know how to take stains out of clothing since you know how to sew so well!" "Are you making fun of me?" Uryu asked sounding pissed off. "Oh no I'm just stating facts!" Ichigo replied while taking his shirt off. He was complaining that the paint felt weird going through his shirt. "Damn boy!" I yelled, Orihime gasped, "You are giving the poor girl a heart attack." I said jokingly while I enjoyed the sight in front of me. "What?" he asked. "Oh geez. Never mind." I said. "You are really stupid sometimes." Rukia said to Ichigo. "I am not!" he yelled. Uryu was laughing at him. "What are you laughing at!" Ichigo yelled at him. "Oh nothing, just laughing at the facts being stated," he said sarcastically. While they continued were arguing, Rukia, Orihime and I noticed that Chad was just over in another corner of the room finishing one of the walls. "What should we do about him?" I whispered to them. "Maybe we should leave him alone." Rukia replied. He turned his head and looked at the three of us. We just waved at him and he went back to what he was doing. The paint war went on, we were still waiting for pizza to get here. Three walls in my room got completely done, the last one, we decided to call the splatter wall. It's the wall we stood in front of while the paint war was going on. Ichigo eventually ended up with a boob print on him. See Orihime managed to get a ton of paint across my chest and I'm wearing a low shirt, so I tripped and Ichigo caught me as I fell into him and he ended up with that on him and remember he has no shirt on. A couple minutes after the paint war ended the pizza finally came. Opening the door I noticed the pizza guys eyes just light up. "Um hi" I said. "Why hello there" he said smiling very creepily. I'm standing here thinking creeper. "Hey where is wallet? It should be around there somewhere, its pink." I said. "Oh I see it!" Orihime yelled. "Can you bring it to me please?" I asked. "Yeah sure" and she walked over to me with it. I noticed this guys expression change as soon as she walked up. She took the three pizzas and stuff from the guy while I got the money out. "Hey can I have some help with this?!" she yelled to the other room. In my room Ichigo and Uryu were still arguing about stupid things. "You two are hopeless!" we heard come from the room, and Rukia walked out and took some of the stuff from Orihime. "Oh I could have helped you!" he pizza guy said. "Thats quite alright!" I snapped. "So is this a slumber party or something?" he asked. "No, we're just doing some painting." I replied. "Oh so you just moved here? How long have you been here?" he asked. "A few days." I said. "Well ya know, I live just down the street," he said. At this point I didn't know that Ichigo was listening to the conversation just around the corner. "I could show you around sometime" the pizza guy said. "Oh no thats okay." I replied. "Alright.," he said sounding depressed. "So are these your sisters?" he quickly made a comeback. "No, they're just friends from school." I said. "Oh well are you in high school or college? What school do you go to?" he asked. At this point being extremely disgusted, I handed him the cash and told him to keep the change. Trying to get rid of him I said goodbye and went to close the door. "Hey ya know I can stay for a while, I don't have any other deliveries at the moment, I can help you paint more than just your room," he said pushing the door open. "Whoa there man!" I don't need your help with anything! I yelled. "Aw come on don't be like that!" he said. As I went to reply I felt someone quickly come up behind me, put their arm around my stomach and pull me back slightly. It was definitely a guy. He put his hand on the door frame and was leaning forward pulling me against him. It was Ichigo. "Thanks for coming out here man" Ichigo said. "Marisa did you have enough to pay for everything?" he asked. "Oh.. yeah.. I had enough." I replied. "Is there anything else that you need from us?" Ichigo asked. "Uh no I'll be going now!" the pizza guy said running away. Closing the door he took his arm off of me. "Sorry I just had to you know.." he started to say. "Oh yeah its totally fine, thanks for saving me actually!" I said smiling as I was thinking how good it felt to be pressed up against him like that. "Even if he had gotten in the door, Chad and I would have taken his ass out!" he informed me. "What about me?!" Uryu yelled. "You could have.. uh.. protected the girls..?" Ichigo said. "Oh okay!" Uryu replied feeling special. Ichigo and I started laughing after he said that. After eating we all decided that we were going to watch a scary movie, even though I didn't really want to but I thought I would be cool about it and just go along with it. Everyone took turns washing the paint off of themselves and changing clothes. I went back in my room and called Tara.

*phone ringing* Toshiro answers. "Hello?" "Hey Toshiro wheres Tara?" I asked. Before I could say anything else he was calling her. "Tara, Tara, get up, Marisa's on the phone for you! Tara! come on babe get up!" he said. "Whaaaat" I heard. "Heeellloo....? She said sounding tired. "Hey Tara, where are you?" I asked. "I don't know, uh… *pause* I'm in his office," she replied. "What time is it?" she asked. "Its about 10-pm your time." I said. "WHAT ITS 10?! HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN ASLEEP!" she was yelling. "About three hours" I heard Toshiro say. "WHAT YOU'RE STILL WORKING ON DAMN PAPERWORK! HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU HAVE!!" she was still yelling. "I'm almost done," he said. "ALMOST DONE MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO BE ANOTHER HOUR! IF YOU DON'T TAKE ME HOME RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO THE BAR!" she was still yelling. "But you have a meeting tomorrow!" he said. "Then you should take me home!" she finally stopped yelling. I heard a loud sigh then a book slam shut. "Fine! We can go home now!" he yelled at her. "Yay!" she said. "Okay Ris, I'll let you go then I'm going home!" "But I called you for a reason" I said. "Oh, right of course you did," she replied. "Okay well you can talk to her for a few minutes I have to close everything." I heard Toshiro say. "Don't take too long after 5 minutes I'm leaving!" she said. "Okay continue." "Well, tonight has been very interesting so far." I said. I explained what we were doing and when I tripped and fell into Ichigo, then I got to the pizza guy part. "So this pizza guy, was like hitting on me, Orihime and Rukia, after they walked away this guy tried to force his way in the door!" I said. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "What?" Toshiro said. "Marisa's getting some…" she started to say and froze for a few seconds. We both heard him choke on something probably tea, "WHAT!?" he yelled. "pizza!" Tara said. Everything was quiet until Tara started laughing. "But it is serious, she almost got raped but a messed up perverted pizza dude!" she shared. "Was he hot?" she asked. "Oh hell no!" I replied. "Darn." Tara said. Toshiro again choked. "Well, I'm going to go see if I can find a perverted pizza guy if you do not take me home right now," she demanded. "Alright! We can go now!" he said. "Okay, finish your story," she said. "So, after this guy tried to force his way in, Ichigo came up saved me!" I said. "Well, thats awesome, its like one of those heroic stories!" she exclaimed while laughing. "See the best part to all of this, is the fact that we were still painting and he had taken his shirt off and when this happened it was still off, so when he put his arm around me, I could feel his abs against me and he kept pulling me closer to him!" I yelled. "I see where this is going to end up," she said "One of you is going to end up on top of the other," she said laughing evilly. "Uh do I want to know?" I heard Toshiro say. "No, not now," she replied. "Anything else you wanted to tell me?" she asked me. "Hmm no I think thats it." I said. "Aright!" she yelled. "Well, I'll let you go then." Just before we hung up, I heard someone yell, "Are you talking to Marisa!?" "Damn. He annoys me every single day!" Tara said. "Shuhei?" I asked. "How did you know!?" she asked sarcastically. "He's asking for you!" "What do you want Shuhei!?" *BAM* "Awwww.. Son of bitch!" she said. "TARA! ARE YOU OKAY?!" I heard Toshiro yell. "Oh my God Tara are you alright!?!?!" I was yelling into the phone. Someone knocked on my door, "Is everything okay?" it was Ichigo. "Oh yeah, everything is fine, I think, I don't know about Tara, you guys can start the movie if you want I'll be out in a few!" I said from behind the door. "Alright" he said. "Damn you Shuhei" I heard Tara say, "I'm gonna get for that." "You wont remember!" he yelled to her. "Oh yes I will, or someone will remind me!" she said. Just then I heard Toshiro's voice. "I'm gonna have her call you later or tomorrow, I'm gonna carry her home, maybe get her head checked out. Have fun tonight." he said. "Thanks Toshiro." I said and he hung up.

I walked out of my room and sat on my couch, "sorry guys, that took a little bit longer than I had expected it to." I said. "What did Tara do? We all heard you yelling." Orihime said. "Oh she ran into a pole." I said laughing. "We're both pretty clumsy." "Is she alright?!" Rukia asked. "She's fine, I think, I'll find out from Toshiro later." I said. "Toshiro? You mean Captain Hitsugaya?" Rukia asked. "Right, I never explained that, not really my story to tell." I said. She nodded and we went on to watch the movie. Orihime and Rukia sat on the floor in front of my couch, Chad and Uryu sat in the two big chairs that I have and Ichigo sat on the other end of the couch. Eventually we all fell asleep. Ichigo and I were the last to fall asleep, we talked for a little while and when it came time for me to go back in my room, he asked me to stay. "Where am I going to sleep then?" I asked him. "Right here," he said moving over on the couch. Luckily my couch is wide enough for two people to sleep on it together. I don't know if I was just half awake or what was going through my mind but I actually listened to him and fell asleep with him.
