Orihime was thouroghly ground into Rukia's foot by the time they got home. Rukia kissed Ichigo good night and climbed into the closet. She slowely pulled off her brown shoes and then tugged off her black, knee high sock. She smiled when she noticed that Orihime was stuck to the ball of her foot...partly from all of the foot sweat and partly from the pressure. She ever so gently peeled Orihime off and held her in the palm of her hand. "What did I tell you about complaining and about what happens when you stop licking?" Rukia asked quietly. "I'm sorry!" Orihime sobbed. Rukia apparently noticed that her nose was broken. "So that is why you wern't gagging at the smell of my stinky feet...you can't even smell!" Rukia giggled softly so as not to alert Ichigo. "I'll just have to fix that...I wouldn't want you to cry, because I know just how much you love the smell of my foot!" Rukia giggled again. She quickly healed Orihime's nose and her body a little. Rukia then dropped Orihime back into the hot, sweaty, humid, damp, and smelly sock. "Time to face the consequences my little pet." Rukia said darkly. She slid her foot back in and slammed into Orihime. Orihime was thrown back to the toe section. The smell made Orihime's eyes water and nearly made her retch. She then looked on in terror as Rukia's massive toe slid over her, pinning her. "Goodbye my little pet." Rukia said quietly. She then stood up and smooshed her toe back and forth on the bed in the manner one would crush a bug. Orihime's body nearly gave way as the pressure became too much. Orihime was to weak and crushed to scream, or even talk for that matter. "So this is my fate, to be crushed like a bug underneath my best friends foot?" Orihime thought to herself. Rukia finally stopped, just short of crushing Orihime. She took off her sock and slid Orihime back onto her palm. "I don't think I have to tell you what will happen next time you disobey me." Rukia said in a harsh voice. Orihime shook her head. "Since you were a bad girl, you will be sleeping at my feet tonight." Rukia informed the terrified teenager. Orihime was about to complain. "I won't warn you again about complaining...you are lucky that I have shown you so much mercy thus far...don't push your luck." Rukia said threatningly. Rukia then got an idea. She gave Orihime a warm, gentle, kind smile. "Maybe I have been hard on you lately...you know what, I'll heal you." Rukia said gently. Orihime was suspicious of Rukia's sudden compassion. She had a look of absolute terror when Rukia inched her hand torwards her. She broke down and started to cry. "Please, Please, I am begging you...no more punishment or torture!" Orihime begged. "Shh...Shh...Shh..." Rukia hushed her. "It's okay." Rukia said so soothingly and gently that Orihime couldn't help but to relax. "I'm not going to hurt you my little pet." She continued, even more gently. She put her hand over her and started to heal her.

After about twenty minutes, Orihime was in a lot less pain...though there was only so much Rukia could do. Orihime still had broken and/or fractured bones plus other injuries. Nonetheless, Orihime was feeling much better. "Now lets go meet Ichigo!" Rukia said cheerfully. Orihime had a bad feeling about this. Rukia curled her fingers around Orihime, making a fist and hinding her from sight. She then opened the closet door. "Hey, what's up Rukia?" Ichigo asked as he looked up from his bed. "I just wanted to tell and show you something." Rukia said smiling. "Okay." Ichigo said standing up. "You know how no one has seen Orihime for a couple of days?" Rukia asked. "Yeah..." Ichigo responded. "Well..." Rukia said as she uncurled her fist, revealing Orihime, "The truth is that I have shrunk her." Rukia revealed. Ichigo was completely speechless. "W...Why?" Ichigo asked. "And why is she so slimy?" Ichigo said as he picked her up gently. "Well that's because she been underneath my foot all day and night." Rukia explained. Ichigo looked up and raised an eyebrow. "You know how she has always been following you, acting kind of weird around you, eyc.?" Rukia asked. "Your point?" Ichigo asked. "Well...she has been wanting to ask you out for a long time now." Rukia explained. Ichigo looked down at Orihime, who was at the moment embracing his middle finger. "Well when she found out that I was going to ask you out, she...attacked me." Rukia said. Ichigo looked up and stared. "She attacked you?" Ichigo asked. She lifted up her shirt a little to show a deep wound across the stomach...a wound that Orihime did purposely inflict upon her the day before she was shrunk. Ichigo looked at Orihime in disgust. "I...I didn't do it!" Orihime screamed in vain, for Ichigo could not hear her. "I can't believe that I left that big a wound...I was just so mad that..." Orihime let the thought trail off. Ichigo picked Orihime up by the collar and handed her back to Rukia. "Actually..." Ichigo said. "Let me put her in your shoe for you." Ichigo said with a smile. Ichigo placed Orihime in Rukia's brown shoe and then took Rukia's foot. "Allow me." He said. Rukia smiled as she kissed him on the lips. Ichigo the slipped the shoe on Rukia's bare foot, pinning Orihime underneath her arch. Rukia gave a small stomp, causing Orihime great discomfort. "Now let me take a look at that for you." Ichigo said, sounding concerned.

After twenty minutes...ten minutes of Ichigo dressing her wound and ten of them kissing...they both went back to bed. Rukia popped the shoe off and once again held Orihime in her palm. "I know that was very harsh, but it was neccessary..." Rukia said. "So...to show some compassion, I will let you sleep in my hand for tonight." Rukia said. "But..." Rukia added. "All previous rules are still in effect, and I have come up with some new ones." Rukia said. "First, you are not allowed to talk, unless if absolutely neccessary," Rukia explained, "And if I don't think what you had to say was neccessary, there will be harsh consequences." Rukia said in a threatning tone. "Second, you are not allowed to move," Rukia continued. "Any movement will be met with severe punishment." Rukia said. Her tone absolutly terrified Orihime. "Third, if you try to escape...I cannot garuntee that you will survive very long...for I will show no mercy and depending on my mood, might mean life or death." Rukia said in her "I'm so sweet" tone of voice. "I probably will come up with some more rules and conditions later...but for now, I advise you follow the current ones my little pet." Rukia said with a smile. "Do you understand?" Rukia asked. "y...y...y...yes." Orihime stammered as she clung to Rukia's middle finger tightly. Rukia smiled when she saw how frightened Orihime was and stroked her hair with her finger. Orihime flinched each and everytime Rukia touched her. "There is no need to fear me my little pet." Rukia said gently. "As long as you do as I say, I will take very good care of you." Rukia added with a kind smile. Orihime relaxed a little, but was still shaking and clinging to Rukia's middle finger. "Your so cute when your scared." Rukia cooed as she gave her a kiss on the head. "I'll wake up early so I can give you a bath." Rukia giggled. She then turned off the light.
