Author's Note: I'll make this a one-shot and a songfic since it's my first fic. Ichiruki of course! No spoilers just random! The author's note is short isn't it? R & R!
Disclaimer: I do not own the song Just the Girl, Click Five does. I do not also own the song According to You, Orianthi does. I also do not own Bleach. Tite Kubo does. But we all wish we did, don't we?
Enjoy!!!!
Backstage, Karakura Drama Room(iForgot what it's called) 6:50 P.M.
"Dang…" Ichigo said, all nervous and wet with sweat(Hey, that rhymed!). "I can't believe I'm going to do this. Especially since I'll be singing by myself right after Inoue."
"You'll be fine, Ichigo. We already practiced this. Well, I practiced my part and you practiced your part." said Rukia, giving him comforting smile.
"…thanks." He replied, a smile forming on his face.
"Alright, thank you for your wonderful piano solo, Miss Inoue. Now please welcome Ichigo Kurosaki! Singing the song, Just the Girl! Dedicated to his true love!" the host of Karakura's Talent Show said. A great number of people were cheering and clapping.
'This is your night, Ichigo. Singing and expressing your feelings to her.' He thought to himself, giving himself confidence and going onto the stage.
Then the band started playing(it came out of nowhere. O.o) the tune of Just the Girl.
Ichigo started singing:
She's cold and she's cruel
But she know's what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after
'Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
He pauses and takes a quick glance at Rukia. And he starts singing again:
She can't keep a secret
For more then an hour
She runs on 100 proof attitude power
And the more she ignores me
The more I adore her
What can I do?
I'd do anything for her
'Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
And when she sees it's me
On her caller ID
She won't pick up the phone
She'd rather be alone
But I can't give up just yet
'Cause every word she's ever said
Is still ringing in my head
Still ringing in my head
She's cold and she's cruel
But she know's what she's doin'
She pushed me in the pool
At our last school reunion
She laughs at my dreams
But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems
She's the one I'm after
'Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
'Cause she's bittersweet
She knocks me off of my feet
And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery
She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more
Oh, I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for
Just the girl I'm looking for
I'm looking for
I'm looking for
I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
Ichigo stopped singing and looked at the audience. They all cheered for him; discovering his hidden talent. Suddenly, Isshin started shouting. "THAT'S MY BOY!! SO WHOSE THE LUCKY GIR—" Karin had kicked him in the gut. "Shut up, goat chin! Everyone's looking at us!"
Rukia was still backstage, amazed of what Ichigo had sung. It was for a girl he liked.
'That girl is lucky…to have someone like Ichigo to like her,' she thought, not having a clue that the song was for her and her only.
"All right! That was amazing Mr. Kurosaki! An amazing talent that is!" the host told Ichigo. "Now! Time for Miss Kuchiki to shine!"
Ichigo went to go backstage and Rukia went to go on stage. "You were great out there." He heard her whisper, and gave him a good whack on the back of his head. "Thanks, midget." He thanked her, earning another whack to his head. He smiled and whispered. "Good luck." But Rukia didn't hear it.
Then the band started playing a song again. The tune of According To You. That's when Rukia sang.
According to you
I'm stupid
I'm useless
I can't do anything right

Everyone paused as she stopped singing and started clapping. Real loud that it almost shattered Ichigo's ears.
"Okay! That's it! I will now tell the winners:1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!" The host announced.
Rukia returned backstage and saw Orihime running towards her. "That was great. Kuchiki-san!" then she turned to Ichigo. "You too, Kurosaki-kun! I didn't know you were both good at singing!" Ichigo just put on his usual scowl and thanked her. "Thanks, Inoue. You're piano piece was nice,too." Rukia said and Orihime just giggled and went to Tatsuki.
"You were good, Rukia." Ichigo said, a slight shade of pink appearing on his face. "You too, Ichigo." She said with a smile. "So," she began. "Who was that song you sang for, hmm?" He looked away realizing that his cheeks were burning. "Uhh…Who was your song about?" he asked changing the subject. "If I tell you will you tell me who was your song for?" she asked. "Whatever." Was his reply.
"You."
"Eh?"
"My song was about you."
"…"
"So who was yours—" she was cut off by the host. "Okay!! 3rd place is…(drum roll)…Arisawa Tatsuki! For her karate battle with Chizuru(she sadly lost to Tatsuki)! 2nd place is…(another drum roll)…Ishida Uryu! For his sewing demonstration! And 1st place is…(the loudest drum roll)…Inoue Orihime!! For her wonderful piano solo! Let's all give them a round of applause!!" Everyone was clapping, cheering, and applausing.
Living Room, Kurosaki Residence 8:00 P.M.
"You were great, Ichi-nii! I never knew you could sing so well!" Yuzu complimented her brother. "That's because he never sang in front of us, Yuzu!" Karin told her sister.
"So Ichigo. Who's the lucky girl? Hmm? Is it my beloved, soon daughter-in-law? Huh Ichig—" Isshin couldn't finish since Ichigo's foot landed on his face. "Shut up, old man!" yelled Ichigo.
Ichigo went to his room and started reading the Daily Horoscope. Then the his door opened. "Ichigo, you didn't tell me." Rukia said just as she closed the door. He looked up from the magazine and muttered something.
"Huh?"
"You."
"What'd you say?"
"I said, it's you."
"Eh? Speak up, Ichi—"
"I SAID IT'S YOU!!! YOU AND YOU ONLY, RUKIA!! Happy?!" He yelled at her. His face was redder than Renji's hair. "Oh."
"Rukia. I didn't mean to yell at y—" Rukia placed her lips on his before he could finish. His eyes widened realizing that they were kissing. Rukia kissed him. He closed his eyes and put his arms around her waist. She slipped her hands behind his head, playing with his hair. He pulled her closer and kissed her back. He slipped his tongue into her mouth. He heard her gasp at his sudden movements. They started playing with each other's tongue. Then he pulled away and stared into her eyes, both were gasping for breath.
"Ichigo, I—"
"Rukia.. I love you."
She smiled. " I love you, too." He smiled a very unique smile. They broke away from their embrace. "Ichi-nii, can I come in?" Yuzu said through the door. "Sure, Yuzu." Ichigo replied. "Ichi-nii, Rukia-nee, dad wants to do some karaoke. Wanna join?" Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other and smiled, looking at Yuzu. "Sure." The replied her simoultaneously. "Let's go!" Yuzu said.
"Okay. What do you wanna sing Ichigo? Rukia? Wanna sing a duet?" asked Isshin surprised that his son hasn't kicked or punched him. "Whatever," was Ichigo's reply. "Gimme. I know what song." Ichigo took the remote and put the song. He handed Rukia a microphone and took another one for himself. "OK. Ready, Rukia?" asked Ichigo. "Yup!" she replied.
Ichigo:
When the night falls on the world
And you're sad because I'm far away
Just remember you're my girl
Baby, think of how you feel today
Rukia:
All I know is our love will go on
You can dream me there with you all night long
When you need my heaven simply close your eyes
And keep your heart strong
Both:
I'll be there for you when the Earth stops turning
Playing in your heart like love songs do
I'll be there for you like a candle burning
Just believe it's true I'll be there
Rukia: We got awful close oh, so fast
It's hard to say our goodbyes
Ichigo: Now I've found you girl at last
I can't forget you if I try
Rukia: When I'm awake or sleeping you'll be mine
Ichigo: You're the love I'll keep you fill up my mind
Rukia: I will count the hours 'til you're here with me for time
Both:
I'll be there for you when the Earth stops turning
Playing in your heart like love songs do
I'll be there for you like a candle burning
Just believe it's true I'll be there
Rukia: When you're troubled I'll be there when your sad I will be there
Ichigo: I'll be there 'cuz you're my star I'll be anywhere you are
When you're hurt I'll feel you too and if you leave I'll go with you
I'll be there for you baby count on me I'll be there for you, there for you
Both:
I'll be there for you when the Earth stops turning
Playing in your heart like love songs do
I'll be there for you like a candle burning
Just believe it's true I'll be there
I'll be there for you anytime at all
If you need me I'll go to the wall
You'll be in my mind you'll be in my heart
When I'm close to you when we're far apart ohhhhhh
I'll be there for you
"Wow! You guys sound even better as a duet, Ichi-nii!!!" giggled Yuzu. "Yeah." Karin said. Isshin ran to the life-sized poster of his wife, Masaki and started crying. "Ohh, my dear wife! Our beloved son has finally become a man! We will soon have 3 daughters and some grandchildren!!" cried their father. "You gonna do something, Ichi-nii? Or do you want me to do it?" Karin asked her older brother. "Do whatever you want, Karin. Me and Rukia are gonna talk in my room."
They both walked to his room and closed the door. "Hey! Don't do anything up there! I don't want grandchildren yet!! You hea—OOFF!!" "Shut it, you perverted old geezer!" yelled Karin as she kicked him in the gut.
"Oi, midget. You know what?" he asked his new girlfriend and received a whack to his head. "OW!!!!" She smirked and said," Don't call me a midget, strawberry. So what?" He rubbed his head and grinned. "This is the best talent show I ever had." She looked at him. "How?" she asked. "Cuz now I'm with you." he told her and pecked her lips. "Me too." she said. "It's your FIRST talent show, baka." he smirked at her. And that earned him a kick to the stomach. "And don't call me a baka, you baka."
Finally I'm done! That was LONG right? Sorry. It wasn't s'posed to be. Review please!!!
