It was 10:00 PM. Ichigo was laying lazily waiting for something to happen. Nothing exciting ever happened Aizen was defeated. Nobody really cared about anything since all the major problems had been solved. All he could do was eat, drink, sleep and repeat. It was so boring that he would borrow hollow bait from Uryu to give himself a challenge. "Please let something exciting happen," prayed Ichigo when suddenly there was a knock on the door "please don't let that be dad!" he continued before answering the door. It was Yachiru. He hadn't seen her in forever, she had to be at least 19 by now. " Yachiru, is that you?" he asked excitedly, his prayer was answered "Yeah, its me Ichi," she said hugging him, her voice was deeper, almost like Rukia's. She appearently hadn't forgotten her old nickname for him "it's been to long! You haven't changed at all." she continued, she still had her usual childish blush."Speaking of changing, you've gotten a lot taller. By the way, what are you doing here?" asked Ichigo "Kenny and I got bored in the Soul Society, so we each bought a house here in Karakura town and I decided to pay a visit since I haven't seen you in such a long time." she explained

"Really? Where are you living? Maybe we could catch up sometime." said Ichigo "Are you askng me out on a date?" she asked seductively "What?! No...I...I just...wanted to...you know...catch up." he studdered nervously. Yachiru laughed at him "I'm just messing with you." she said laughing "Anyway just give me a pen and paper and I'll write my address down for you." she said more seriously. He gave her a pen and paper and wrote her address down for Ichigo when it started raining hard outside."I'm not walking home in that." said Yachiru "Um...I don't mean to be rude or anything but...do you mind if I stay here for a while, at least until the rain stops?" she asked "Of course, you can stay as long as you want." "Thanks, you're the best." she said hugging him again. He led her up to his room "So, where will I sleep?" she asked "You could sleep on my bed," he offered "I'll just sleep on the floor." "Are you sure, I could just sleep on the couch?" she said "I insist, I'll be fine on the floor." "Okay, thanks."

In the middle of the night the storm became more intense. Lighting and thunder boomed in the sky. Ichigo could hear frightened wimpers coming from his bed "Yachiru," he said tiredly "are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm just...kinda scared." she replied "Of what?" "The storm, I'm scared of storms. I'm not really sure why." she responded blushing in embarrassment "I know what you mean, I'm scared of storms too." "You're just saying that to make me feel better." she accused him "No I'm not." he replied "Really? Then... Why are you scared of storms?" "Because...My mother died during a storm when I was little. They've terrified me ever since." he admitted "Oh...I'm so sorry." "You have nothing to be sorry about." "You don't seem very scared." "I've learned to ignore it." there was a brief moment of silence between them "Can I ask you a favor?" "Yeah?" "Will you sleep in the bed with me?" she asked blushing "Sure." he said climbing under the blankets with her, he blushed when she wrapped her arms around his neck. She took in his smelled like cinammon. They both fell asleep under the blankets.

Author's note: look up a YachixIchi fanfic, I dare you, I bet you find absolutely nothing. Also there should be about 5 or 6 chapters in this.
