All Because of 'It'

2.00 am : Ichigo's (Rukia's) closet, Kurosaki's residence

Rukia was fast asleep in her closet. Then she felt something creeping around her foot…

"Ichigo… stop it… ZZZZZ…" The former shinigami brushed it off.

Then she felt it again. "Ichi… stop tickli-ZZZZ."

A few seconds later, she felt it again. Rukia was on her last nerves.

"ICHIGO I TOLD YOU TO STOP TICKLI- huh? Wha?" She sat up straight, blinked twice and suddenly realized that she wasn't in her dreams anymore. She still felt something crawling around her left foot. Rukia looked at it…

"WAAAAHHHHH ICHIGO!" Rukia didn't care even if Yuzu or Karin came right in. She has got to get out of her closet.

Ichigo sat up straight totally surprised by that awfully loud yell. She clung to him tightly around his neck.

"O-oi! Rukia! What the? Stop choking me, RUKIA!" Ichigo yelled blushing. The raven-haired girl loosens her grip.

"T-there is s-something in my closet!" She said pointing to the closet.

"What the hell has gotten in to you!? If Yuzu or Karin or that old man barge in you… I mean I will be in serious trouble! And since when it's your closet?"

Just as he had said that, they both heard footsteps on he staircase.

Great! This is all her fault!

"There's someone out there! Hide you BAKA!"

"I. Am. Not. Going in there again!" She pointed to the closet "Didn't you hear a word I said?"

The orange-haired shinigami hid her under his blanket. "You just shut up in there!"

Yuzu opened the door to Ichigo's room. "Ichi-nii, are you okay? Karin and I some screaming from you room" said Yuzu, rubbing her eyes.

"No, no it's okay I was just uh- well- umm… having…having a bad dream that's all! Yeah a bad dream!"

No way Yuzu's gonna fall for that! This is all that BAKA Rukia's fault!

"Oh umm okay. Well sweet dreams, Ichi-nii." She closed the door and went back to her room.

"It's a good thing she was too sleepy to realize that I was lying. Badly," he mumbled to himself. He turned to his bed and the lump of Rukia under the blanket "Rukia! Get offa my bed! Go back in the closet!"

She glared at him. "I am not going in there! I told you there's something in there, you baka!"

"Well why don't you get rid of it yourself? I'm going back to sleep" He shoved her off the bed.

"If I knew how to get rid of it…would I be yelling at you to help me just now?"

He sighed. Ichigo could never win in a verbal fight with Rukia.

"Fine! I'll help you! If this goes on I'll never get to sleep!"

Ichigo opened his closet. "What there's nothing in here! Rukia you BAKA! What are you trying to do? Give me insomnia or something!"

"WAAAHHH! There it is! On my pillow!" She clutched tighter to the pillow she was carrying.

"That. Is. Just. A SPIDER!" Now he was seriously annoyed. How could she wake him up at 2:00 am for a SPIDER!

"It was all over my foot! And that was just plain GROSS!"

What the hell? She fights hollows in all of her life and she scared of a…SPIDER? This girl is seriously weird!

Ichigo thought the faster this problem is solved, the faster he can go back to sleep. He took a 'Bug-B-Gone' aerosol spray and used a lot of it on the spider. It died instantly. And Ichigo threw it away.

"There I threw it away! Now just shut up and let me have some freakin' sleep!" After he said that he turned off the lights and jumped onto his bed.

Ichigo was sleeping. And Rukia is just staring at her closet, thinking.

If there was one… who knows if there could be a whole nest of that, that spider things!

She poked at Ichigo's cheek, twice. "Ne… Ichigo? Can I sleep with you tonight? There might be more of those spy-things inside" she asked really, really softly.

"Hmm-huh- hmmm…"

I'll take that as a yes! She edged into the bed with Ichigo.

3:21 am: Ichigo's room, Kurosaki's residence

Ichigo was wide awake, really uncomfortable with Rukia sleeping with him.

Dammit! I helped her and I still can't get some sleep. Stupid, freakin' spider that started all this!

Just as he thought about waking Rukia up, she wrapped her arm around his neck tightly.

Now I can't even move! So much for that waking her up plan.. He turned his head to look at her. Lookin' at her this way, she's kinda cute.

"Hmmm I…love you" Rukia muttered in her sleep, suddenly.

Ichigo surprised, blushed furiously. I-is she s-still awake? He thought.

"Goodnight my sweet Chappy" she mumbled hugging her 'Chappy' tighter.

"Goodnight, Rukia" And he kissed her goodnight on her forehead.

I guess this is nice reward for helping her… And with that he fell asleep.
