"Ichigo!"

"Huh?" The orange haired teen stopped in his tracks as her heard the voice of his partner, the raven-haired girl.

"What's this? Why are there little plastic balls in them?"

His amber eyes saw much curiosity in those lovely violet eyes looking back at him…

" Um… well…that. We call those gashapons. They dispense toys out."

"Hmm…"

Rukia continued to stare at those machines that were unfamiliar to her as Ichigo waited by the sidewalk. Rukia was always attracted to human objects that were new to her despite the amount of time she had already spent in the human world.

"Ichigo! Look, there's this picture of a bunny on this machine! And it looks like chappy!"

Rukia squealed in delight as she noticed her favorite chappy bunny had a lookalike in the human world.

Oh no, not Rukia and her chappy craze again…Why did she like chappy so much anyway?

"How does the bunny get out? Can you get it out?"

Rukia and those puppy-dog eyes of hers..of course he couldn't say no..

"Hmm I'll try, but this machine also have cats,dogs,birds and bears characters in them. I might not get the bunny.."

Ichigo then inserted the coins necessary, and with this the toy was dispensed out and he quickly placed it in Rukia's hand. Watching as she struggled to break open the capsule ball.

Seeing that her eyes lost their enthusiasm, Ichigo guessed that it wasn't the bunny.

"It's a black cat… Well, its kinda cute. Guess I'll give it to Soifon" Rukia exclaimed as she pouts in disappointment.

" yeah well, let's go home now."

Rukia took one last look at the bunny picture , then chased after Ichigo.

-----------------

"Hey Rukia, I'm going out for awhile."

"Yea sure.."

Rukia continued to focus on her drawing, not noticing what Ichigo had in mind.

------------

" Ichigo! Where have u been? I had to fight those hollows off myself! "

Her arms were crossed and her lips were in a frown as she stared at Ichigo, who had just came in through the door to his room.

His amber eyes were wide open with surprise as he thought she would be asleep by now. He had planned to surprise her in the morning, but with this temper of hers, he definitely had to pacify her now.

Smiling, he walked over to Rukia and held out his hand. In that huge palm of his was a bunny keychain.

"You…" Her mouth was gaped open as her slim fingers fingered with the keychain. It looked exactly like the one she saw this afternoon. Could it be..? He went out just to get this for her?

" Thank…Thank you …." Rukia smiled as she was mesmerized by the way his hair and eyes shone in the moonlight.

"You're welcome" Ichigo grinned as he realized how happy she was. At least his effort wasn't wasted.

What am I going to do with those other characters I got before getting the bunny? Maybe I'll dump them to Yuzu… hmm.. shouldn't she do something more than a thank you ? After all, he spent quite awhile trying to get that blasted bunny.

"Hey Rukia.. Shouldn't you show more appreciation than a thank you?"

Rukia walked up to Ichigo, and before he knew it, a kick landed at his knee and he winced in pain.

No matter how petite she looked, she sure had a huge amount of strength.

"What was that for?!? Give the bunny back then!"

Another kick.

"…….."
