I'm uploading a new story just to see if I can upload stuff, because I've been trying to update my previous stories, but I keep on getting an error. Don't expect too many updates, since nor can I update, neither have I written many chapters for this story. Anyway, tell me if you like it, then I'll continue to write more.

No way out

Dinner

Ichigo and Rukia were on their first date as an official couple. He had asked her to be his girlfriend, and she had agreed without giving it much of a thought. They were at a classy restaurant, having their dinner. Rukia noticed that Ichigo looked a bit uneasy. Maybe she was doing something wrong. Or, maybe he was just nervous because after all it was his first date. Rukia was not new to the dating gig; it was safe to say that she had quiet a good hand at this. On the other hand, Tatsuki had informed her that Ichigo hadn't dated before. He didn't do dates, not even for the sake of fun. He said that when he'll find a girl interesting enough, he'll date her. Therefore, Mr. Ichigo Kurosaki found her interesting. That thought gave her a chill, and not in a good way either.

Rukia was good at conversation; Ichigo, Hmm not so much. Whenever she would ask him something he'd reply in a single syllable, two at the very best. It was a good thing that he didn't talk as much as her ex-boyfriend Grimmjow. 'Do you believe in love at first sight or do I have to walk by again?' who says such a thing to impress a girl. However, Grimm's cheesy pickup line certainly made an impression on her. Thinking about her ex- put a smile on her face. Although they parted ways, they were still very good friends.

Ichigo opened his mouth as if to speak something and then stopped. His next words put Rukia into a daze. An image of her brother, Byakuya in black suit and black shades, flashed in her mind. Then Ichigo stopped. Her lips began moving which indicated that she was speaking, but even she couldn't tell what she was saying. However, whatever she said must be the right thing since she could see a smile on Ichigo's face. The events after that were just a haze to her.

Now she was standing in front of her door, with a fidgeting Ichigo. He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek signaling that the date was officially over. She also noticed that she was still smiling, and Ichigo looked very much pleased by their outing.

Rukia stepped into her apartment. Her room-mates Tatsuki and Orihime were watching a movie, but as soon as they saw her, they lunged towards her asking to share the details of her date. Rukia, still smiling, made way towards the couch, picked up the pillow and screamed into it. Both her roommates could only stare at her weird behaviour. Then with a straight – no-nonsense – face Rukia informed—

"I'm DEAD."
