Hello! I would appericate R/R
xD I worked really hard on this so... I don't care if you flame it just make a good point. Don't make fun of the couple please!!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the characters of anything of Bleach!!
I really wish I could pick up Ichigo or Renji and put her in my pocket but... I don't own them.
Ichigo: That's right!
Rukia: Cuz he's mine! Chomp!
Ichigo: Owwww! Midget!
Me: On with the story now!
Scowling slightly Ichigo raised his head to the violet-eyed girl staring down at him. "What do you want Rukia?" He scowled reluctantly sitting up.
"Come to the par-tay!" Rukia smiled taking his hand and dragging Ichigo upward to his feet. Grabbing Ichigo's hand she pulled him along the edge of the beach letting the salty water engulf their feet.
"Come on! Even Renji came!" A loud moan came from Ichigo's mouth, which was drowned by the crashing of the sea.
"What? Jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous of that lump of jello?" Ichigo said resentful. The ocean water washed over both Ichigo's and Rukia's sandy feet leaving a slight sticky feeling. Ichigo had a strong urge to jump in the ocean and hid from all the hectic people. Tilting his head downward he noticed what Rukia was wearing. It was a white glimmering halter tankini with matching bottoms. She wore a white sun hat that had black trim.
In the distance was a small growing campfire, not to mention while there was still light, with a large group of people hovering around it.
"Oi! Rukia! Strawberry! Hurry it up!" Came from the all-too-familiar voice of Renji. Their feet made patterns in the wet sand as they ran toward the campfire. It seemed as if Ichigo's footprint would swallow Rukia's small slender footprint in whole. Plopping himself down on the ground he watched the rising flame.
Ichigo started to dig his feet into the sand letting the grains fall in between his toes. For some inexplicit reason he liked the gritty feeling against his bare skin. Pulling his feet for the sand he stood up tried to sneak away from the pack of crazy, screaming high school students. Only to his knowledge he thought that he escaped the stifling air into the nice cool breeze. In reality, a small raven hair colored girl was watching Ichigo intensively.
Ichigo started to turn in a slant and walk near the water's edge. Each wave that rolled in soaked his feet giving a small chill up his spine. Behind him he could hear small footsteps countering each step he took. Turning around the bend he walked under a tall cliff. Ichigo sat down and stared at the forming sunset,
"Rukia, sit." He said patting the ground next to him. Startled Rukia blushed and sat down next to him gazing forward into the gorgeous sunset.
Ichigo tried forcing a smile but Rukia could see right through the phony grin.
"What'cha doing out her all alone?" Rukia asked tilting her head to break her gaze from the sunset.
"Trying to get away from all the chaotic people. Wanted to take a swim…. but the sunset caught my eye." He said gesturing toward the sky.
Little orange droplets of orange and yellow sprayed across the sky. A pink color laced the edges of the semicircle and extended outward bleeding into the newly dark blue sky.
"Every time I see a sunset like this one, it reminds me of finger-painting with my mother. I always loved the color orange and yellow. Use to make the sun all the time. Heh." He chuckled softly.
"I can tell." Rukia said moving closer and ruffling his hair.
Leaning her head on his shoulder she sighed softly. Slightly embarrassed he grasped her hand in his own. Both blushing a light pink they stayed there in the same position until the sun retreated into the sea. The dark blue color engulfed the sky except the faint white light from the moon reflecting off the sea.
"Want to go for that swim now?" Rukia asked standing with Ichigo's hand still in hers.
"Sure." He said following suit.
Rukia threw her sun hat off and Ichigo pulled his shirt off. Walking hand in hand they set off into the sea. Letting the cool water lap over their bodies they swam out to one of the sand banks. Standing waist deep in water Ichigo pulled Rukia up in the water so she wouldn't drown.
"I can stand……. Thank you." Rukia said choosing her words carefully.
"Your welcome." He said smiling.
"I….." Ichigo started before being cut off by a loud booming voice.
"Oi! Strawberry! Rukia! Smores! They're good! Gooey and crunchy!" Renji said from the shore.
"Smores?" Rukia asked confused.
"They're good, well, I guess we better be going… I'll race you back, midget." Ichigo replied laughing melodically.
"Bring it Strawberry!" Rukia smiled jumping out of his arms giving him a head start.
"Hey wait!"
Both of the shinigami's chased each other back to the shore. Grinning wildly they decided to race back to the campfire leaving their stuff under the cliff. Being pummeled with smores they both accepted they gooey treats.
"Mmmmm." Rukia mused under the hot steaming marshmallow.
"Ya," Ichigo agreed taking another bit. "Lets go get our clothes." He said motioning to the cliff.
Finding their footing they found their way back to the cliff but the dim light of the moon. Picking up their stuff they stood there for a few moments staring out into the sea. "I….." Ichigo started again stuttering.
"I…. Had a great day." He finished sighing.
Rukia looked up grinning ear to ear. "So did I." She said standing on her tippy toes. Pecking a kiss softly on his cheek left a burning sensation on his cheeks.
"Uhh…" Ichigo stuttered blushing more wildly now.
"I…." Rukia started questioningly.
"Lo….v…e.." Ichigo said finishing with sweat beads running down his face.
"You too." Rukia said smilling.
Walking away she placed her sun hat on her head andIchigo followed her footsteps. The moonlight shone brightly down on them as they decided to race back to the campfire. Their shadows laced the sand cascading over the small rocks and shells.
'I love you, Rukia Kuchiki' Ichigo thought smiling
'I love you too, Ichigo Kurosaki' Rukia thought grinning.
