Rukia was wondering why Ichigo was acting so strange lately. He seemed to have ignored her. When she had provoked him he shook it off and didn't respond. She decided to confront him on the matter. She came out of his closet and sat on his bed, he himself was at the desk studying.
"Ichigo what's wrong?" she said but he ignored her. "Ichigo tell me!" she said louder but again nothing. "Ichigo! Tell me now!" she yelled at him. He got up and turned to her.
"Rukia tell me how did you feel when I saved you?" She was surprised by the question then thought about it for a few seconds.
"I suppose I felt shock and anger also a little glad that you did it." She said with pink tinting her cheeks.
"Is that all?"
"Of course that's all! What do you expect from me?" she said annoyed.
"Of all the times I've saved you, you only felt shocked, angry and glad then?" he asked Rukia was confused on what he was talking about.
"Well not all the time only that time the others were… mixed feeling's" she looked away when she said the last part.
"And tell me Rukia about how you felt during those many special moments we shared?"
"I felt most of the time warm and comforting and something else I can't explain." Her blush made a reappearance.
"Tell me what is that other feeling do you think?" she looked down in thought.
"I don't know." he tips her chin up so she looks at him in his eyes.
"When someone has a feeling about someone else that they can't quite explain what do they call it?" He bent down towards her.
"Love." They kissed.
