My name is Ichigo Kurosaki.

It was a Friday night and I could be hanging out with my friends. Watching movies or even going bowling. But no, I'm here in my room doing my homework. Don't get me wrong, I kind of like doing my homework, studying, etc. I like my peace and quiet, but SHE was in my room. MY ROOM.

She nudged me in the shoulder with her tiny hand. Her juice box, it's always me who has to open it. I've shown her a million times how to open it, but no, she refuses to open it herself. She nudges me harder when I don't respond to her the first time. I look at her direction, and she shoves the juice box into my face.

I remove the plastic covering on the straw and insert it in the hole of the juice box. I hand it back to her and she just bounces back on my bed. She gets back to her original position, consisting of her laying back on my bed with a manga in her other hand. I should be upset with this picture, but I make no comment about her on my bed or reading my manga. Instead I'm quietly trying to do my homework and not thinking about her.

-SUNDAY

Sunday evening rolls around and I'm tired. I just finished doing my patrolling around town and man I'm beat. I plopped onto my bed, turning to my side towards my window. Then I felt it, she also plops onto my bed. Her back against mine for only a few minutes and then I feel her get off the bed again. I'm almost asleep when I feel someone nudging me at my shoulders. I open my eyes slowly only to see Rukia holding a juice box over my face. I groan and I try to turn back over, but she nudges me again. I took the juice box and opened it for her careful on not spilling it on my face. She smiles down at me and grabs her manga again. I turn on my side and I feel her against my back again leaning on me while reading her manga sitting up. I hear the pages flipping as I slowly drift to sleep.

-MONDAY

I walk up the stairs that led to the roof of the school to eat my lunch with Rukia quietly walking behind me. It was only Monday, but I already wanted the week to end. School was generally boring and I was sleeping through most of the day. I settle myself by the roof fence so I'll at least be propped up. Rukia does the same as I reach into my brown lunch bag. My friends busted on the roof before I could even get my food out.

"Ichigo! There you are," Keigo says loudly.

I just shake my head unwrapping my sandwich. Just then Rukia had her juice box next to my face. Sighing deeply I took the juice box out of her hand.

"I'll open it for you Rukia," Keigo said.

I stopped myself before poking the straw through the hole. At that moment Rukia nudges my shoulder with her small hand and I proceeded to poke the straw through. I gave it back to her and she didn't thank me. She smiled to herself and leaned back against the wall.

-TUESDAY

I was taking a nap, yes me. I'm feeling a little tired lately as it feels like a whole bunch of hollows just decides to raid the town. More and more are popping up and more of my energy is being used. The lunch bell had already rang, but once I put my head down I can't find myself lifting it up again. I hear scuffling of feet.

"Kurosaki-san," I hear Orihime's high pitched voice.

I just grunted showing my acknowledgement that I was awake.

"Aren't you going up to the roof to eat with everyone?" she asked me.

I lifted my head and saw her staring right at me. I slowly got up from my chair my chair and maneuvered around Orihime.

"Kurosaki-kun, let's go together," Orihime yelled.

I waited for her, feeling like I was going to collapse at any minute. I didn't know that her arm was laced around mine until I got to the roof. I saw Rukia in our usual spot with her, but she looked different. I guess she's angry that I'm here late. I took my usual seat beside her and opened her juice box without her even asking. She put is down gently beside her and doesn't even drink it. She waited until everyone was gone to yell at me.

She curled her pointed finger at me back and forth to get me to eye level with her. I bent down thinking it was innocent. Then right when we were about the same height, she hit me on the side of my head.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR! " I yelled down at her.

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW?" She yelled back at me.

"I would know if you would just tell me," I finally began to claim down.

"It's not rocket science Ichigo," she said with her eyes towards the ground.

-WEDNESDAY

I shook my head from the memory of yesterday. We haven't spoken since then; she immediately ran from me and refused to talk to me at home.

"Is something wrong Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime asked me.

"Oh nothing Inoue," I said.

I stared back at Rukia chatting away with the group of guys in class. She didn't once look at me.

'Fine if she wants to be stubborn, then I will too', I thought.

I gave her one last look before I vowed that I will not look her way for the rest of the week.

-THURSDAY

I looked in her closet and she wasn't there again.

'It was already 10pm where could she be?' I thought.

She has nowhere else to go. At least I don't think she does. She could be with Urahara… right? That would be alright I guess, as long as Renji's not taking a quick visit. I sensed the town to see if Renji was making a quick visit. After 5 -10 minutes of scanning (and double scanning) I'm relieved to know that he is still in the Soul Society.

I see at little lump in the closet and I know it's the outline of Kon's stuffed body.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked him.

"Where's Nee-san. I miss Nee-san," I heard him whine.

"She's not even that far away," I said though I find myself missing her as well.

Kon shot up, "You! You did this didn't you?" with this pointer finger at me.

Before he could attack me, I shut the closet door. I heard a squeak on the other side knowing he rammed his face into the door. I short of chuckled imagining the scene. My smile went into an instant frown thinking about Rukia. I'll talk to her tomorrow, even when I know I didn't do anything wrong.

-FRIDAY

Okay this has to end!

'Where is she?' I was thinking, my mind racing.

I haven't seen her all day and there's still no sign of her. I was getting desperate and even asked Tatsuki if she was in the girl's bathroom. Can you imagine a big tough guy like me doing that? Usually I'm collective and calm, but not today. It was bothering me that I couldn't find her anywhere. There's not many placing to hide, it was just school. There's only one place where she could be, the ROOF. I bought her favorite juice boxes to call it a truce. I finally know what I did wrong. I opened the roof door open and see Keigo standing over her. He was extending her a juice box and she was about to accept it.

"HEY!" I yelled in a booming voice.

CHAPTER 1 COMPLETE! This is my first IchiRuki fanfic, but I think I'll only make it three chapters long.
