So this is my first chapter story for bleach and I am super excited. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing. Again this is my first written one; I just didn't put it up right away, and started and finished a different story. So this is probably not my best work but I still hope you like it. Please enjoy. And remember I don't own. This belongs to Tite Kubo.

Rukia tightened her grip on Ichigo's hand. She was so nervous! "How are we going to do this?"

Ichigo looked down at her and smirked. "Well first, you're going to calm down. It's going to be fine. Just relax."

So why was Rukia so nervous? Well on the other side of the door they were standing in front of, were their friends and Ichigo's family, waiting for the announcement they knew was coming sooner or later. Ichigo and Rukia were finally getting married.

Rukia took a deep breath, but she found that it really didn't help calm her frayed nerves. She looked up and smiled. "It didn't help much…"

Ichigo turned her around to face him and took her other hand. "Why are you so nervous? You can go against Aizen with ease, but when it comes to a simple announcement, you can't handle it? We'll be fine, I promise." Ichigo smiled. All of Rukia's strength came back with that one smile. It was the source of her strength.

"Okay, I can do this now. Thank you."

"Not a problem. And by the way," Ichigo started, lifting Rukia's left hand, "this ring looks nice on your finger."

"Doesn't it? My fiancée gave this to me." Rukia smiled.

Opening the door, they were greeted by balloons, colored streamer, and a large group of people.

"Congratulations!!!" Yelled the voices of all their classmates and friends. Ichigo's father had a proud look on his face.

"Son, I knew this would happen someday. You'd find someone who would make you happy, and you'd get married and start a family… And with such a cutie, too! I'm so proud of you." He praised.

"Thanks, da-" Ichigo started, before he was punched in the gut.

"But you still let your guard down!" Isshin smirked."

Most fathers would give it a break at least for one day, but not you." Ichigo said, before he kicked his father in the face, making him fly back. His father struggled a thumb up, right before he passed out.

"I~chigo!" Keigo screamed, jumping on his back. Tears were streaming down his face. "How dare you!"

"Who would have thought that Ichigo would be the first of us to get married? This is quite the shocker." Mizuiro stated.

Ichigo laughed. He was surprised as well. But he was happy. She was the one who made the rain stop in his heart.

Rukia happened to find her way from Ichigo and towards the snack table.

"U-um, Rukia-chan?"

Rukia looked to her side and found Yuzu beside her.

"What's the matter, Yuzu?"

"W-well, I was wondering if… if I could call you one-chan now…?

Rukia smiled. " Sure you can, I don't mind. In fact, I would be honored if you did that."

Karin came up with a drink in her hands. "Rukia-nee, you're so nice. But I know that you don't take it easy on my brother or the H-O-L-L-O-W-S, right?"

Rukia laughed. "Of course not. I'm not that nice."

Yuzu made a confused face. "Karin, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing you need to worry about Yuzu. Just forget what you heard."

"If you say so…"

Eventually, Ichigo and Rukia found their ways back to each other. Ichigo smirked.

"See, I told you it wouldn't be all that bad."

Rukia sighed. "Fine, you were right. Happy?"

"I am, more than you could know. I just wonder: what is Byakuya going to say about us?"

Rukia made a face. "Um… let's worry about that tomorrow."

Orihime and Tatsuki watched the couple from across the room. "Who would have thought that Ichigo would pop the question so soon? I mean, it seems like just yesterday we graduated high school…"

"Y-yeah…" Orihime said with a forced smile. She was devastated on the inside. She knew they spent a lot of time together when Rukia first came here. He even went to another world to save her from execution. But she thought it was just Ichigo being a good friend. And she even knew that now they were living together. Again, she just pushed to the back of her mind.

To be honest, she realized that she had spent little to no alone time with Ichigo. But she had always hoped that maybe, he would just come out of nowhere and ask her out on a date or maybe just to hang out. She realized that hoping and wishing for him would be pointless now.

Orihime suppressed a sigh. She just couldn't let go.

"Good evening, Inoue-san."

Orihime turned to the source of the voice. "Oh, good evening Ishida-kun. How are you?" She asked with another forced smile. She didn't know how much more she could take.

"I'm fine, thank you. Inoue-san you look as though you're tired. Do you want me to walk you home?" Uryu asked.

"N-no, I'm fine, really!" Orihime didn't like the sight, but she still just wanted to see Ichigo.

"Orihime, you really should go home. You've been up since five in the morning. You need to sleep. Let Ishida walk you home. I need to stay a bit longer anyways." Tatsuki said. Orihime nodded and walked to the door. Tatsuki smiled at Uryu and mouthed a thank you.

Down the street, Orihime smiled. "Thank you, Ishida-kun."

"You're welcome."

Orihime paused a little, and then sighed again. "You know, I was hoping that things would turn out differently. That Kurosaki-kun and I… Well, I guess I'm just a little jealous of Kuchiki-san. Is that wrong of me?"

Uryu shook his head. "No, I don't think so. I mean, I'm a little jealous of Kurosaki. I can't say why though. It's a secret." Uryu smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes, but let's not let him know, okay?"

Orihime nodded. "Thank you for walking me home and for getting me out of there. I really appreciate it…"

Uryu watched her open the door to her apartment and walk in. He was still worried, but he walked away, pushing aside the feeling that something was wrong.

Orihime set her purse down on her bed and lay back.

'Are you upset, Orihime?'

Orihime sat up and looked around. "Who's there?"

'I'm just a friend. What's wrong? Do you want him? Do you want to take him back from her?'

"W-what are you talking about?"

'Kurosaki Ichigo, was it? I can help you get him back. I can help you make him yours.'

"W-what? You…you can?"

'Yes, I can. All you have to do is accept my help. He'll be in your arms sooner than you think. You could take Kuchiki Rukia's spot in his heart.'

Orihime wanted that very much. She wanted nothing more than Ichigo to tell her sweet words of love and adoration. Her feelings took control over her sense.

"O-okay. Please help me win him over."

~End Chapter 1~

So that was the first chapter. I hope those who read will enjoy. And about the jealousy thing, I think we all know why Uryu is jealous of Ichigo. The whole Orihime unrequited love thing… yeah. Anyways I'll try to be back soon with the next chapter! Ja ne!
