Ichigo started his new life just trying to save his family by trusting in a complete stranger to become a shinigami. Becoming this shinigami, it granted him a great deal of strength and speed that he didn't even know he had within himself. This new spirit form that he obtained gave him the ability to save his family from a horror that no normal teenager should have to deal with. This person that Kurosaki Ichigo met goes by the name of Rukia. After Ichigo obtains this new power, he and Rukia start to spend a lot of time together as she helps Ichigo master this new found power. Fighting all these monsters called "hallow" he found it as a good way to finally relax in life. He realized that he has also made new friends and even gotten a lot closer to his old ones. After some time Ichigo found out that Rukia has been living in his closet because she has no place of her own to go to because she is still a member of the 13 protection squads of Soul Society.

One night after a long battle of hallow that are trying to invade the city, Ichigo and Rukia decided it was finally time to go home and rest up for they still have to wake up bright and early the next morning (by this time it was only a few short hours away) for school. Their friends were already getting suspicious as for all the times they both ditch class together and the many many days they just don't show up at all. After their journey home so they can sleep, it was almost like any other night Rukia went to the closet to go to bed and Ichigo changed and decided to use the bathroom real quick before he finally went to bed. Well Ichigo was away in the bathroom Rukia thought she would surprise for a really hard long days work him and hide under his sheets. When Ichigo finally made it back to his room he shed off almost all his cloths and dove right into his bed not even noticing the abnormal lump that was there. As soon as he hit there was a loud "MMMPPPPHHHH!!"

Ichigo's first reaction was to flip out and jump off his bed. After a few seconds for Rukia to catch her breath she sat up on the bed. Ichigo was surprised as ever to find Rukia laying in his bed half undressed. This startled him so much that well leaning up against the wall he slowly fell to the floor and hugged his knees as he tried to figure things out and put stuff together in his mind and find some rationality so all this made sense at least on some level. After he sat there zoned out in his own mind Rukia decided she better explain things to him so he calms down. After several long moments of silence she gets enough courage to walk over to him and grab him by the hands and sit down in front of him so they can discuss things. She tried to just tell him that she didn't know what she was doing but Ichigo was smart enough not to take that excuse. He was calmed down enough to actually hold a full conversation with her. He turned the whole thing to were he was now asking her questions trying to get the full answer. And as every second went by Rukia's face kept getting brighter and brighter red.

After about fifteen minuets Ichigo managed to get Rukia to admit that she had feeling for him and that is what made her do this whole thing. Ichigo, who is no longer shy with Rukia admits to her "I also like you too." For the rest of the night they both sat there on his floor just talking discussing each other, likes and dislikes, and even what they want to be able to do with each other in the future. Before ether of them could realize it, the sun was already peeking threw Ichigo's blinds. They began to hurry to get ready for they both knew his dad would be coming in for a surprise attack on Ichigo to wake him up. Ichigo, in spite of giving more time for Rukia to ether hide or escape, planed his own surprise attack for his dad

After managing to get past his dad Rukia and Ichigo had a long quiet walk ahead of them. They tried to play the day as if it were just like any other day, but that only made things even more awkward and threw the whole day off. Everyone quickly became suspicious and Chad even stopped Ichi to talk to him to see if they were using drugs. Some how they managed to get through the day without any real big problems. They ended up racing home so that they could continue were they left off from this morning, but Rukia had something else in mind for their evening activities.
