Ichigo had finally graduated from Karakura High with honors and was waiting on replies from several universities. He was also enjoying a moment that had been building up for quite some time. He finally worked up the nerve to kiss Rukia.

The reaction that he had gotten wasn't what he expected though.

They had just finished off a small group of hollows that were terrorizing some homeless people and returned to his room when he felt the pressure of the moment and the adrenalin rush of the battle when he pulled her into his lap and kissed her.

They hadn't even had time to re-enter their bodies yet and didn't really care at that moment. His body was slumped over the desk like he was sleeping and her gigai was tucked in the closet reclining peacefully.

They had gone at each other like starving people attacking a banquet. They had fallen for each other long ago but had held each other at distance for one reason or another. Tonight all those petty and stupid reasons melted before an onslaught of almost primal urges.

After they had spent themselves in their lovemaking they were just laying there panting and looking into each others eyes when the door opened.

Isshin walked in and looked at Ichigo's body then went over to it and patted his son on the shoulder softly so as not to wake him. "I'm proud of you son. You're a strong man, and a smart one too. Your sister's look up to you and all your friends are of good and noble character. Your mother would be proud of you if she could see you now. I know that I am."

Ichigo and Rukia held their breath not moving least Isshin see movement on the bed where they were in soul form. Ichigo was praying that the ability to see spirits didn't extend to his father.

Isshin ruffled his son's hair gently before turning to leave but he stopped at the door for a moment. "Next time, lock the door before you go and have sex you idiot!"

The couple blanched then looked at each other. "NAWWWW!"
