"Me or Inoue?" she asked sternly.
"Rukia . . ."
"Ichigo, is it me or Inoue?"
Instead of answering, Ichigo tried to go near her but it is too late.
"You don't have to answer Ichigo", Rukia said while trying to hold back her tears. She turned her back and tried to run away from him but he caught her just in time. Now, he's hugging her small frame from behind. He wished that they could just stay like that forever. And he has to take action now or that forever that he's dreaming for will forever be never.
"Listen Rukia", Ichigo said while trying to find the right words to say. "Uhmm… you know… you know… uhmmm…"
Obviously, Ichigo is not good at situations like this so he's really having a hard time to say what he wanted to say. No matter how much he tried to seek for the right words in his brain, he just can't think of any!
"Uhmmm… you know… errr… ughh…"
"Just say what you want to say damn it!" Said the pissed Rukia. She's no longer crying now but totally pissed. Who wouldn't be? She's just being hugged by the same person who turned her down.
"Fine!"
"Fine! Then say it! Say what you want to say! And please stop straddling me!"
Ichigo forcefully turned Rukia to face him and he kissed her with all his might. He just can't say the words but he's hoping that his kiss would give her a clear thought on what he wanted to say.
Rukia, shocked with what Ichigo did, was gasping for air. She's not ready for a kiss that's full of passion so she's the one who broke the kiss.
"I hope you got my message", Ichigo said while smirking. "I love you Rukia! Obviously, I'd choose you over Inoue". And he kissed her again.
