Hello! This is my first fan fic! Its slight ichixruki and rukixrenji. Personally I love Rukia with ichigo :P anyways enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own bleach or any of the characters its all Kubo's .
It was an early Sunday morning Kurosaki Ichigo was snoring away in his bed. It had been a month since Rukia went back to the Soul Society as of now the Hollow appearances had reduced greatly at Karakura town. Ichigo missed his little midget but of course he was too stubborn to admit it. So anyways as he was peacefully sleeping someone knocked on his window.
Ichigo groaned *who on earth would knock at this early hour* he thought but he was too lazy to get up and check. The knocking continued but Ichigo didn't budge. Finally the window was forced open and suddenly ichigo felt about 44kgs on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see the petite soul reaper sitting on his stomach with her eye brows arched downwards , a frown on her face and her violet eyes staring at him."RUKIA WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"he shouted as he pushed her off his stomach."I KNOCKED YOUR WINDOW YOU BAKA BUT YOU WOULDN'T GET UP!HOW LONG DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WAIT?"she yelled groaned "WHAT DO YOU WANT SO EARLY IN THE MORNING?COULDNT IT WAIT A FEW HOURS? KAMI! WHAT HAVE I DONE THAT YOU PUNISH ME BY BRINGING THIS LITTLE TYRANT BACK TO THIS WORLD?"he last part he then realized,wasn't smart thing to had been a long time since he saw Rukia and Rukia meant a lot to him, he immediately saw the hurt and offended look in Rukias eyes when he said that. "Rukia I uh..""Just follow me"she said and she got out of her gigai and jumped out of the window.
"H-Hey wait!"
and he quickly got out of his body (lol) and followed her. As soon as he jumped out he saw she had opened the gate to the soul society. "Rukia what the hell?" she walked in silently."H-hey wait!" and Ichigo quickly followed her in. The two entered Soul Society but Rukia didn't say a word.*Silent treatment eh?* Ichigo thought ."Rukia you don't have to get angry.." *no reply* "You know I didn't mean it!" *no reply* "So where are we going again?"*no reply* "WOULD YOU JUST ANSWER ME DAMN IT YOU CRAZY BUNNY LOVING MIDGET?" with that he got a power kick on his shin. *she's back yay?* he thought an inwardly smirked. "YOU UNGRATEFUL ROTTEN STRAWBERRY! YOU THINK I LIKE BEING AN ALARM FOR YOU? THE ONLY REASON I CAME THIS EARLY WAS BECAUSE OF CAPTAIN UKITAKE! AND DESPITE COMING TO INVITE YOU FOR THE FESTIVAL THIS IS HOW YOU RESPOND?" she shouted back. Ichigo "huh festival?" ,Rukia was about to stomp off again but Ichigo decided he had enough of her frowns for a day and he pulled her into a hug. This took Rukia by a surprise and there was a tinge of pink on her face "I-Ichigo?"she stammered. "I missed you midget, I'm glad you came to see me." He said and smiled. After a few seconds he let go of her and they continued walking. "So whats this festival you were talking about?" he asked."Its like an annual soul reaper festival we hold every year in the Seretei..Its organized by the head captain for everyone..all soul reapers that is..Captain Ukitake felt you should be invited as well..you are kinda one even though you are a substitute but you have played a very important role in the past events." She said."Finally I get some real appreciation!"he smirked which earned him a punch from Rukia.
"There we have reached" said Rukia. Ichigo looked and saw a large crowd of soul reapers ,some whose faces he immediately recognized. "Lets go get our pass fast" rukia said as she dragged him across the crowd to a counter. "Lieutenant Yachiru! Its me ! I have got Ichigo with me as well!" and out came the little pink haired girl with the normal bright smile on her face! "Rukia-chan! Ichi! Here are your passes!" and she handed them two passes."Thanks..but when is this exactly?"asked ichigo . "Tomorrow afternoon till midnight of course!"she answered in a chirpy tone. "So Ichi! Is Ruki-Ruki going to be your partner?" asked the tiny pink haired girl. "Eh? What partner?" asked Ichigo who was now clearly confused. "Everyone must go in pairs for the festival ichi-baka! Many fun games !, all require pairs! So if you come you must bring a partner! But its ok looks like Rukia-chan is going to be Ichi's date?" "EH Date?" stammered ichigo whose face now matched his looked at Rukia who was looking another way avoiding his gaze. *The heck why not? She's the only one I'd wanna go with anyways..and we are kinda like partners so it wouldn't be odd …right?* he thought as Ichigo was about to ask Rukia an excited red head came in between them.
"RUKIAAA YOU ARE GOING TO BE MY DATE-UM-PARTNER TOMORROW RIGHT?" asked Renji.
"Renji! I" stuttered a shocked Rukia.
" Oye Kurosaki shes gonna be my partner so don't bother asking her" said renji with a scowl n his face now looking at Ichigo.
"Oh yea? Who said so?" "I said so!""well what if I ask her to be my partner?"
" Makes No diff! shes still gonna go with me!
""Oh yea? "
"YEA!"
"WELL I DOUBT SHED WANNA GO WITH A PINEAPPLE HEAD LIKE YOU!"
"DON'T BET ON IT CARROT TOP!"
and they continued yelling at each other till both of them got a punch on their head from Rukia"BAKAS! CAN'T YOU SEE Y'ALL ARE CREATING AN UNNECESSARY SCENE" she yelled clearly very pissed. At that moment Yachiru clapped her hands in excitement "YES! TODAY FIGHT BETWEEN ICHI AND RENJI WITH RUKIA AS THE PRIZE WHO ELSE WANTS TO PARTICIPATE"she yelled."huh?" exclaimed rukia. "A fight between Kurosaki and Renji? Don't Ignore meee!" the three looked back to see it was Ikkaku."I am soooo in! and I'm going to beat them both!" he laughed."Oh yea? Don't bet on it "replied Renji. "O dear Ikkakus getting himself all flared up I guess I shall join as well"said Yumichika as he walked upto them. "wait this is getting outta hand." mumbled Ichigo."You gonna chicken out already?"snickered Renji. "HELL NO!" snapped Ichigo. Yachiru "Yosh! Lets go!"
Ichigo groaned it was 15 minutes to 4:00pm, he was on his way to Urahara's shop. *How did it even end up like this? *he wondered *Why is this stupid competition even in the real world* he wondered but then he remembered Toshiro coming and yelling at all of them telling them not to create any more commotion anywhere near that area. *Damm that midget always brings excitement in my life*he thought as he smiled to himself.
He entered Uraharas shop nobody was then entered one of the rooms and was shocked to see a big stage with 5 small podiums next to each stage was decorated with streamers and the stage there were 5 tables and chairs in a semi the middle sat her right sat Momo Hinamori and Rangiku Matsumoto and to her left sat Captain Ukitake and Yourichi, on stage was Yachiru with a mike. Behind the judges Ichigo was shocked to see Inoue ,Ishida and Chad along with Kon.
"Wh-what are you four doing here?" he asked.
"We came to cheer you on Ichigo"said Chad .
"Kurosaki-kun is fighting for Kuchika-san..I-I wish you all the best!" said Orihime who was unable to look at Ichigo and was obviously disturbed by the whole thing.
"NEE-SAN BELONGS TO ME OK ICHIGO!"yelled Kon.
Ishida smirked "My my, Kurosaki-kun is such a romantic..who would have guessed"
"Oyye its not." But he was cut off by Yachiru "Our first contestant is Our beloved substitute soul reaper Ichigo Kurosaki! Ichi please get on stage!" people clapped Rangiku whistled while Yourichi was laughing.
Ichigo went on stage very embarrassed. "next we have Rukias childhood friend and her brothers vice captain Renji Arbarai!" and Renji came on stage looking very embarrassed as well."wtf is this?" he whisphered to Ichigo."how do I know" and they turned to see Yumichika and Ikkaku on stage.
"And finally we have a last minute contestant, please welcome Ichis friend Keigo!" and Keigo came on stage."Keigo what are you doing here? "asked Ichigo shocked."ICHIGOOOO! " he yelled as he ran towards him and hugged him " I heard Inoue –san talking about how you and some others were going to fight for Rukia –chan !So obviously I haaadd to come! "he said excitedly "DON'T WORRY MY DEAR RUKIA YOU WILL BE MINE BY THE END OF THIS!" he yelled to Rukia. Rukia "uhhh.."she was very embarrassed and confused at what was happening.
Ichigo pushed Keigo away from him and then looked at Rukia,for a moment he was stunned,she was wearing a light pink kimono with violet orchid design ,her hair was tied up and she wore tiny earings..she even had a little make up on to show of her pale skin. *Looks like Rangiku and Hinamori had fun with her* he caught him staring at her and he quickly looked away and blushed. "OK FOLKS! THERE ARE GOING TO BE 4 ROUNDS WHICH WERE DECIDED BY OUR FOUR JUDGES! LET ME INTRODUCETO THEM! FIRST IS OUR HOTTIE YOURICHI SAMA!PLEASE GIVE HER A HAND AND NEXT IS CAPTAIN UKITAKE RUKIAS CAPTAIN! AND THEN IS OUR LITTLE MOMO-CHAN! FOLLOWED BY BOOBIES-CHAN!" the 7 of them clapped for each other. " hey you know the runner up of this contest can be my partner for the fest"said Rangiku with a cheeky smile.
"Why Rangiku-chan don't you have a partner?"asked Yachiru.
"Captain Hitsugaya was supposed to be my partner, at least he didn't object when I asked him, but then he saw Kira asking momo to be his partner so he got all jealous and pulled momo away practically commanding her to be his partner!what can I say? I found the captains jealousy too cute I didn't object!" and she winked at Hinamori who was now as red as a tomato.
"ANYWAYS I WOULD LIKE TO THANK KISUKE URAHARA CHAN FOR SPONSORING THIS CONTEST NOW LETS BEGIN!" .
"I have a bad feeling about this" said Ichigo under his breath.
So the contest started the each of the five guys were behind each podium. "OK THEN!" said Yachiru "ITS DECIDED THAT THE FIRST ROUND WILL BE A LOOKS CONTEST!" .
"HUH?"said Renji.
"When a girl is choosing her date looks and body play an important role big guy!"laughed matsumoto
."I see you came up with this idea"glared Renji while matsumoto gave her evil laugh.
"Hah! Suddenly this contest became interesting"laughed Yamichiku."I am sure to ace this round!".
"OK WILL THE CONTESTANTS PLEASE PICK A CHIT AND GO BACK STAGE AND WEAR THEIR SELECTED COSTUME!?"announced Yachiru.
"WHAT? COSTUMES?" yelled ichigo.
"YEP!NOW GO!" and yachiru pushed ichigo back stage and the others followed.
Ishida "Costume? This is gonna be priceless..damm I forgot to get my camera!" chad agreed
. "Don't worry!"said Urahara ."Ururu will be taking photos and recording the whole thing!you can buy them after the competition!".
"Ohh this is how Urahara san is making money!" said Inoue in wonder.
"THE CONTESTANTS ARE READY! JUDGES PLEASE BE READY! FIRST I PRESENT IKKAKU!"
and out came Ikkaku wearing a silver turban with a red gem,an opened over white over coat which showed his chest and purple and green harem he was dressed up as a genie.
"What the hell is going on?" he groaned.
"WALK THE RAMP IKKAKU!" yelled Yachiru.
Ikkaku jumped to the front of the stage gave his maniac smile and pointed his index finger towards the ceiling and yelled "I will defeat you Kurosaki!" and he jumped back.
At the judges table Captain Ukitake and Hinamori were recovering from shock while Rangiku and Yourichi were banging their tables and laughing and Rukia sweat dropped.
Next Yumichika entered and everone almost fell of their was dressed as snow white in the classic Disney snow white's blue and yellow gown.
"Only I could be worthy enough to wear such a beautiful dress!" he said as he confidently walked the ramp like a professional model.
"Well that was.." said Inoue "very disturbing"continued chad.
Then Renji entered stage and rukia squealed. His hair was left open and he was wearing bunny ears he wore no top but just black slim pants and there was a white and red stripped tie around his neck. His face was red but it was even redder and matched his hair colour when he saw rukias eyes shining and staring at she was staring at Renjis bunny ears…she was too busy thinking of Chappy to actually realize he was not trying to impersonate chappy the rabbit.
"WHOO MALE MODEL FOR THE FEMALE PLAY BOY!" yelled Rangiku as she and Inoue looked away looking very uncomfortable.
Next entered Ichigo, everyone went silent for a second and then Rukia burst out laughing " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?" she cried.
"a witch doctor" replied Captain Ukitake very amused.
"How cute Kurosaki-kun"replied Hinamori while Rangiku and Yourichi were laughing till their stomachs hurt.
Ishida was crouching and laughing his head out while Chad broke a smile.
"Kurosaki-kun!" said Inoue who was very surprised while Kon commented
"HAHAHAHA ICHIGO THAT REALLY SUITS YOU! A GRASS SKIRT IS REALLY YOUR TYPE!HAHA!".
Ichigo felt like tearing the whole had never been more humiliated..he was wearing a grass skirt which reached only till his mid thigh his well toned chest and six pack was on display he wore several anklets bangles and necklaces half of which were threads with tiny bones on it and his face was hidden by a huge mask which looked exactly like his hollow mask except a much much much bigger version he carried a wooden cane as well.
He was furious he walked to the front of the stage and threw his mask on Kon gave a glare at Urahara and stomped away.
Next was Keigos he walked in a superman suit. "RUKIAA!" he chirped" I'm your hero here to rescue you.!" .
"Neh how come Keigo kun got the most normal suit?" asked Inoue.
"still disturbing to me"said chad.
Yes well a skinny crazy superman isn't a very nice sight.
After that a few moments Yachiru announced " Now the judges have turned in the results!
And the people who passed this round are! " everyone waited "Ikkaku!" Ikkaku grinned, "Ichigo!"Ichigo grunted "Yumichika!" Yumichika smiled "it was obvious"he added annnnddd "CHAPPY!" Rukia yelled. "Yes of course Renji kun!"Renji sighed in relief.
"CONGRAJULATIONS FOUR OF YOU!" said Yachiru.
"wait!you mean Im out?"asked Keigo very shocked.
Yourichi answered "Yes,you are out..compared to the other 4 you were very boring!"
"boring costume and boring body" Rangiku added.
"You'll are so cruell!" Keigo cried as he ran out.
"That baka" grunted Ichigo.
"NEXT COMPETITION IS A FOOD EATING COMPETITION!" announced Yachiru.
"what? Replied the four in unision.
"Actually I don't really mind!" said Ikkaku.
"EVERYONE HAS TO EAT RUKIA CHANS FAVOURITE STRAWBERRY CAKE AND THE PERSON WHO QUITS FIRST LOSES!"
listening to this Ichigo became uneasy…he didn't mind eating..but not something as sweet as strawberry cake..he was sure he couldn't eat more than two pieces of it.
"IS EVERYONE READY?"
"Wait" said Yumichika. "Im on a diet you see and this cake carries loads of calories so sorry I will have to forfeit!" Ichigo and Renji sighed in relief while rukia muttered "Its not that fattening..
" "Ok well I guess we can go to the next round then"said Captain Ukitake.
"Damm I wanted to see Kurosaki eat a lot of that cake"said Ishida. "Does Kurosaki-kun like strawberry cake?I didn't know!I will surely bake him one next time!" said Inoue causing Chad to cough and Ishida to fix his glasses. Yachiru "OK NEXT ROUND WILL REQUIRE A LOT OF ENERGY !" "Yes finally!"said Ikkaku in excitement."WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DANCE OFF! AND THE PERSON WHO GETS TIRED FIRST OR HAS LOUSY MOVES IS OUT!NOW START THE MUSIC" yelled Yachiru and immediately the music started. "Hey wait what the hell?" said Ichigo. "Do you know how to dance?"asked Renji in a serious tone."O god you've never danced have you"replied ichigo . "OHH YEAH LETS DANCE!"yelled Ikkaku as he jumped towards Renji and Rukia with a sword
. "WHAT THE HELL?" yelled Ichigo as he dodged Ikkaku's attacks.
"I don't think he means that type of dancing ,man!" said renji as he moved out of Ikkaku's way.
Ikkaku almost destroyed half the stage when Yumichika dragged him a way
"Sorry Ikkaku but for violating rules you are disqualified"said yourichi.
Hinamori patted Rukias back "Don't be so aghast Rukia only one more round left!".
"AND THE FINAL ROUND!HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW RUKIA! THIS WILL DECIDE THE WINNER..IS IT GONNA BE RENJI OR ICHIGO!? LETS START"
Renji "this is it Kurosaki its finally down to you and me again" Ichigo sighed.
"I WILL ASK THE QUESTION ONCE AND IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER HIT THE BUTTON ON YOUR COUNTER IF YOU HIT FIRST AND GIVE THE WRONG ANSWER THE NEXT PERSON WILL BE ASKED ..OK READY LETS GO!"cheered Yachiru.
Captain Ukitake asked the first question "what is Rukias zanpaktos name?
" Renji "that's easy its.."
"BEEP "
"yes ichigo you may answer" said Yachiru
"Sode no Shirayuki" grinned ichigo.
"I was about to say that!"wailed renji.
"Well you should have pressed the button!"replied Rangiku
"Anyways next how tall is Rukia?" this time Ichigo his the button again.
"Yes Ichigo?"asked Yachiru. "4'5?"snickered Ichigo and immediately a wooden sandal landed on his face.
"WRONG BAKA JUST HOW SHORT DO YOU THINK I AM?"yelled Rukia
. "Renji?"asked Matsumoto. "Umm I would say about 5? I noticed she's actually grown an inch "he replied.
"CORRECT!" yelled Yachiru
Next question was asked by Hinamori "What is Rukias favourite pass time?"
Renji beeped this time "umm hanging out with friends?"
."Ichigo?" Hinamori asked.
"Drawing Chappy duh!"he replied.
"CORRECT KUROSAKI KUN!" and rukia gave Ichigo a thumbs up.
Yourichi "Ok next question who taught Rukia how to fight?". "
wait..i think she told me this.." thought ichigo but he was too late as Renji hit his button first
"Ex-Vice Captain of the 13th division Kaien-dono" said Renji.
"CORRECT !"yelled Yachiru.
"wow it's a tie!" said Kon.
"Kurosaki kun" thought Inoue "I know I must cheer you on but I don't want you to win for some reason..but I don't want you to lose either..arghh I hate this feeling!".
"THE LAST AND FINAL QUESTION AND THE TIE BREAKER!"announced Yachiru.
.everyone waited in anticipation and Rukia read out the chit given to her "..Who is the most important person in my life?" .
Ichigo and Renji pressed the button at the same time. "I hope its..It better be"they both thought blushing .
"Me."
Came a voice. There was silence and then everyone including Ichigo and Renji turned to see who had said the exact same word they were about to say,and everyone was surprised to see one and only
"Nii-sama!" exclaimed Rukia
as she ran from her desk to greet the Kuchiki Byakuya at the entrance of the room.
"Nii-sama how come you are here?"asked Rukia.
"I was looking for my vice captain but I couldn't find him"
*Renji gulped*
"Then I met Captain Hitsugaya and he told me about what idiocy you all were upto so I came here."replied Byakuya.
"Ummm IF IT STILL COUNTS! THE RIGHT ANSWER IS GIVEN BY CAPTAIN KUCHIKI!"
Rukia blushed while Renji and Ichigo fell down "ofcourse" they then asked "so wait whos the winner?" "winner?" replied Byakuya.
"Yea whos gonna win Rukia as his partner to the fest tomorrow?" said Ichigo.
"Me of course" said Byakuya non chalantly.
"WHAT?" everyone exclaimed.
"B-b-but you are her Brother!thats soo wrong!" stammered Ichigo.
" Mr Kurosaki I think you have the wrong impression of the word partner used in this festival. It doesn't mean bring the one you are romantically involved with it just means bring someone to accompany you and I am asking my little sister do you have a problem?" said Byakuya sternly.
"Well..kinda no..but baah you should have taken part too then!" he said.
"Nonsense I will not take part in such petty games" he looked at Rukia
" Rukia is it fine for you to be my partner?"
"Ofcourse Nii-sama! It will be an honour! "She smiled.
"Come let us leave then I will pick the appropriate clothes for you" said Byakuya
as he exited with room went silent as the door shut. "well…that was pretty pointless" groaned Ichigo.
"WELL FOLKS LOOKS LIKE NOBODY IS THE WINNER!HOPE EVERYONE HAD FUN!".
Ishida "Urahara-san..the photos quick before Kurosaki finds out".
Done!like it?love it? Hate it? Reviews please?
Oh n if u want me to have a chapter on the fest please tell me!:O
