A/N

This is a random oneshot that popped up in my head. It also happens to be my first IchiRuki one-shot. As well as my first story after cleaning up my account, removing stories that I wouldn't complete in the next hundred years. I have started on a bigger IchiRuki story, the first few chapters are finished but I want to have a 'buffer' to be able to post one chapter a week. Within one or two weeks the prologue will be up! So stay tuned for more IchiRuki. Meanwhile I'll try to keep writing one-shots or drabbles. But I will only write one bigger story at a time. Enjoy reading, and review ;).


His reason

"Ichigo," Rukia glanced over at Ichigo, who was doing his mathematics homework. Rukia, who absolutely didn't care for good grades and passing or failing school, was bored. Right after school, Ichigo went straight to his room and started on his homework.

"Ichigo..." Rukia repeated because Ichigo didn't answer. She lay on Ichigo's bed making figures is the air with her feet. How much homework does he even have? He's been at it for hours, right from the moment he got home after school.

"Ichigo!" He still sits there behind his desk in deep concentration, trying to solve the difficult equations that his book was throwing at him. She can whine all she want, he thought, I need to finish this before tomorrow or I'm toast, but that was not the main reason why he was ignoring her...

WHAM! A hard object, which happened to his.. 3kg heavy physics book, collided with the back of his head, sending his forehead to hit his desk. "What was that for, midget!" He yelled at her.

"That was for ignoring me, stupid!" She yelled back. "I've been calling out for you for ages!"

"Can't you see that I'm busy," Ichigo shrugged and turned back to his homework. "Unlike someone else present here in this room, I do have to make my homework. And with my 'job' I have to do my homework from the past few days too."

"Well I'm bored," Rukia glanced outside, the sunshine shone through the window, outside was just calling here. But first, she had to win this argument with Ichigo, he needed to go with her of course!

"Do I look like I care," Ichigo retorted, trying to provoke her even more. He added his worst scowl and angriest glare for a nice after touch. Judging the flush of anger that appeared on Rukia's cheeks he knew it worked. "Go entertain yourself, just don't bug me."

"You've been doing your homework all day long, I've read four manga's already!" Rukia snapped. "I always make time for you when you need me, can't I ask you to do the same for once?"

Inside his head Ichigo laughed, truth was he had finished his homework over an hour ago and was just reading some work of Shakespeare. He knew that she would get bored any time soon. "Can't you ever listen to me, dwarf? I can not help you right now, so SHUT UP!" He smirked, he was the best 'actor' in the world. He could act angry like no other.

Rukia stood up, an aura of anger flashing around her. "Why you-!" Ichigo was also on his feet, observing her from closer while dodging her fist as she tried to whack him on the head. Fire burned in her eyes, her cheeks were red of anger and her soft lips were set between a scowl and a pout.

And that was the second reason he ignored and provoked her.

Because she's cute when she is angry.
