It's been away ridiculously long time and I'm very sorry. Anyway, I didn't feel like writing a whole any-kind-of-story so I'm gonna bull shit my way around it by giving you a series of...sentences. I know, what a let down but I hope you get a kick out of them anyway. If you like them, maybe I'll continue with different themes.

This one is Ichigo and Rukia.

1) Joke

"So, Ichigo," Ishida sighed as she looked at his injured friend "What have you learned?"

"Shut up, Uryuu, how was I supposed to know she was joking when she asked how many of her it would take to screw in a light bulb."

"Still, you didn't have to answer so honestly."

2) Sketch

"What are you doing, Ichigo?" Rukia asked the boy who had been scribbling in some kind of book for the past few minutes.

He blushed lightly and sharply replies with a "None of your business, shorty."

She scowls and wrenches the book away from him. Ignoring his complaints she stares at the apparent drawing for a moment, scoffs and hits him with the book. That boy was a pot calling the kettle black.

3) Cook

She was asked by Yuzu if she needed help, but Rukia declined. It would be a good blow to her pride if she accepted. After all, she killed hollows for a living, how hard could baking a birthday cake be, especially for that scowling idiot.

4) Grasp

The fear gripped her tightly. She would have to go back to her world one day. He would stay in his. They would be separated and when he finally died and came to her world there was no guarantee that they would find each other again. Would he want to find her? Rukia was brought out of her thoughts by a hand, reaching out to her.

"Rukia, We're going home. I don't know about you, but I plan to go together."

She took the hand.

5) Jump

Seven year old Rukia liked to play with the neighborhood girls.

"A...B...C...D...E...F...G...H...I! Ah! Rukia-Chan messed up! She's gonna get married to a guy whose name starts with 'I'! Hahaha! Who wants to do double dutch now?"

6) Clock

No matter how many times he offered to buy her an alarm clock she insisted she liked hers just fine. He went on to tell her he was a human being, not an inanimate object.

7) Outing

When she declined the offers made to her by the various boys at school, Ichigo asked her one day, why. She answered very bluntly and with little more explanation than a flip of her hair and the simple comment "I'd rather stay home."

8) Cry

When, in the middle of that Sunday afternoon, the gray sky finally let loose it's tears, they both debated whether or not to join it. At separate instances they glanced at each other and decided they would rather laugh.

9) Share

"Oi! Rukia! Aren't those MY strawberries?!"

"Sheesh, Ichigo, keep your pants on. I saved you some downstairs in the fridge."

He grumbled all the way to the kitchen and opened the door to the fridge. Inside, he found the usual things except for the one strawberry on a plate with a scowling face drawn on it with black marker.

10) Hug

He had stared at her this morning. She had looked at him like he was nuts.

"What do you want?"

"You look weird."

"Charming."

"Not like that."

"Like what then?"

When he didn't answer her eyes softened and her gaze fell to her lap.

"Is it that obvious...my mood, that is?"

He pulled her to his chest and she felt glad for the first time that morning.

Wow. I wasn't expecting that to turn out so...decent. I hope you liked it too. We'll see if I want to continue it. Here's your warning though, I don't expect to be updating regularly so next time I may update in a few days or a few months, which is a pretty sorry excuse for this kind of "story" but I suppose we'll all have to put up with my flaky attitude. I apologize in advance.
