Hiya! This is just a short ichiruki fanfic I thought up a while ago... I have everything written out i just need to type it up! Its my first AU! lol Enjoy!

"Rukia-sama, Byakuya-sama wishes to speak with you."

"I'll be right there!"

Rukia threw her horror manga in her closet, brushed her hair and de-wrinkled her clothes before heading over to her brothers room.

"Nii-sama, I'm entering."

Rukia opened the large door that made it seem as though she was walking into a throne room.

"Sit"

"Yes, Nii-sama."

"I have arranged you a spouse."

"Ni-nii-sama, What-"

"Your perfectly mature enough to handle a marriage. You should be honored that the Yamamoto family feels that you would be an acceptable wife for his grandson."

"Bu-but, Nii-sama!"

"We cannot deny this offer Rukia. It's already been finalized. You're dismissed."

"But-"

Byakuya gave Rukia a light glare.

"Thank you, Nii-sama"

Rukia bowed and left the room, mad as hell of course. She sprinted to her room and screamed into the pillows.

'Unbelieveable!! There's no way I'm going to marry some stuck up noble's grandson, he's probably as stuck up as his grandfather!!'

Rukia grabbed her suit case and stuffed all her horror manga, a decent amount of clothes, and her super rare chappy sketch book with matching scented markers.

"Vladmir, I'm sleeping over at Hinamori's house tonight! Please send the memo to Nii-sama."

"I will, have a good time Rukia-sama"

Rukia put on her flawless fake smile, "I will!"

Rukia ran out the door passing the turn to the 5th division housing area where Hinamori lives. Instead she turned the opposite direction to the common people's town. She passed her favorite store, The Chappy Superstore, and even her childhood friend, Renji's House. She arrived in the Karakura District when she finally came to a stop.

"So -pant- this -pant- is -pant- Kara -pant- Kura."

Rukia began to look around for a bench to rest on, considering she ran nearly a half an hour straight carrying heavy luggage. Evantually she found one near a small park.

"Wow, it looks so peaceful."

Rukia put her head in her hands. She closed her eyes and began doing breathing exercises to calm herself down.

"I'm so sorry Nii-sama, but I can't marry, not yet."

Rukia laid down on the bench, her heart still pounding from running and soaked in sweat. She closed her eyes placing her hand on her head to cool herself.

"Oi, what are you doing?"

Rukia shot up only to hit her head on a strange bump. She opened her eyes only to see with bright orange hair, an intense scowl, and a bloody nose.

"Why you…"

Rukia smirked, "Heh, your fault for standing above me, idiot!"

"I wouldn't talk bloody midget."

"Wha-"

Rukia brought her hand to her face only to find blood, The boy's blood.

"You…"

"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Rukia, Rukia Ku-Abarai."

'I'd better give him a fake name, news will probably be out saying something like 'Noble, Rukia Kuchiki, Missing!' But why did I use Renji's last name?"

"Kuabarai?"

"No, just Abarai."

"So you going anywhere Abarai-san?" He pointed at the suitcase.

"Not really, just away."

"You don't look to good. If you want you can come to my place, my family owns a clinic and he give you a checkup, I'm not going to leave someone sick on the streets."

Rukia stared at Ichigo.

"I don't have all day, Midget!"

"I'm not a midget! Stupid strawberry!"

"It's one who protects, not strawberry!"

"And I'm not a midget!"

"Whatever!"

Ichigo walked away.

'Rude, he invites me to his house and then he just walks away!'

"Well, are you coming?"

'I take that back.'

"Yea!"

Rukia followed Ichigo for four blocks in silence. Ichigo noticed she was struggling to carry her luggage.

"You shouldn't pack more than you can carry."

"How rude! I can carry this much! I just ran for like 30 minutes straight!"

"Sure you did."

"I did!"

Ichigo rolled his eyes.

"Are you related to Renji Abarai?"

"Uhhhh, yea! We're like really distant relatives!"

'No! Do I look like Renji?'

"That explains why you look and act nothing like him."

"Your rude!"

"Who cares?"

"I do!"

"Then you're the only one."

"Hmph, Ugly Strawberry."

"What was that homeless midget?"

"I'M NOT HOMELESS!!!!!"

"AND I'M NOT UGLY!!!!!"

"-GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Ichigo received a kick in the face.

"What the hell?!?!"

Rukia smirked in amusement.

"Your Late!"

"Only cause I stopped to help this little midget!"

"HEY!"

"Hello there! I'm Isshin! Don't mind my delinquent son! Is there anything I could a pretty girl like yourself with?"

Rukia studied Isshin for a moment, 'definitely a goof, but at least he looks nice.'

Rukia was about to speak up when Ichigo spoke up.

"She's sick and homeless!"

"I'm NOT homeless!"

"Yea? Where do you live?"

"I live… out of town?"

"That's what I thought."

Isshin cut in, "Well come on here, lets check your temperature since being sick is the only thing you two agree on."

He handed Rukia a new thermometer.

"I'll be right back." And with that he left.

Rukia put the thermometer in her mouth and waited.

'Strawberry actually comes from a nice family, I wish Nii-sama and the rest would be like this.'

A minute later Isshin returned and removed the thermometer.

"104, well its clear your sick, and according to Ichigo you have no place to stay, you can stay in his room!"

As if on cue Ichigo came bursting into the room, "WHAT?!?!!?!"

"Yuzu and Karin's room is already too small for the two of them, and you can sleep in your closet!"

"No Way! I can't fit in there!"

"I could sleep in there."

Ichigo and Isshin stared at Rukia.

Ichigo was the first to speak, "Well she is small enough."

Rukia twitched at the word small.

"Then it's settled, Rukia will stay in Ichigo's closet!"

'Did he really need to announce it?'

"Come on Abarai, I'll show you were 'the closet' is."

"Ichigo! You can't expect poor sick Rukia-chan to walk all the way up the stairs!?" Isshin childishly stated.

"Fine!"

Ichigo picked up Rukia bridal style and began to carry the blushing Rukia to 'the closet.'

"Wh-what are you doing, Strawberry?!"

"Shut up Midget! Unless you want to be left on the street and become sicker than I suggest you shut your little midget mouth and rest."

Rukia became silent; slowly she rested her head against Ichigo.

"What're yo-"

"I'm just following your orders, resting."

Rukia closed her eyes. Ichigo developed a pink flush across his face.

When Ichigo reached his room he got Karin to open the door.

"Ichi-nii, Is she your girlfriend?"

Ichigo looked at Karin and back at Rukia and smiled.

"No, were just friends."

"Sure you are."

"Oi Rukia… Rukia? Abarai?"

Ichigo realized he now faced a sleeping Rukia. He laid her on his bed and opened the closet door. He grabbed one of the pillows on his bed, then picked up Rukia and placed her in the closet. He grabbed His sisters' spare blanket and covered her.

"Goodnight, Kuchiki."
