A/N:

For anyone that may be reading this, THIS IS MY FIRST FANFIC EVER. Now, I have read many fanfics, and truly enjoy writing, but ive never been able to write one myself. So, I'm warning you that this may suck and if it does PLEASE TELL ME considering the only reason im writing this is so that I can become a Beta and try writing something. So, enough rambling, here is the time, place, characters, etc.

Time: present day

Character ages: Rukia (over 40, but looks to be about 16 or so attending college) Ichigo (18 and also attending college)

Place: Karakura town: in Ichigo's dorm room (which he is sharing with Rukia)

Characters to be mentioned: Rukia, Ichigo, his parents and family, Byakuya, Renji, other soul reapers.. and probably others.. but as I said, I might not even be continuing this.

Ichigo POV

Ichigo looked up from his book, his eyes moving around his and Rukia's new dorm room. It was surprisingly big, although it was only made up of three rooms, if you could call them rooms. The first was the room they sat in now, the main room. His eyes scanned over the blue carpeting and white washed walls, and over the Chapy posters plastered over the other side of the room, HER side. He looked down, and smiled at the cute but surprisingly grown up and not Chapy bed, that was covered in purple bedding, with black flowers. Surprisingly, he and Rukia were able to afford a room that had its own bathroom, which was near her bed. That was the second room, which contained a tub and toilet. The final "room", was the kitchen, which consisted of a small fridge, crème colored cabinets, a small stove and white counters, and one old, but beautiful table with wing back chairs.

As his eyes finished scanning the dorm, the fell on his side of the room, where his big bed covered in red bedding was and upon it sat a certain raven haired soul-reaper, laying, while reading one of her many mangas. She was smiling and reading intently, clearly enjoying herself.

She looks so cute… he thought, but then silently shook his head, looking back down at his school book. GAH I should NOT be thinking like that. Well maybe one more peek..

He looked back up at the cute soul-reaper, and was not able to look away. For almost five minutes her continued to stare at her, as if in a trance.

Rukia POV

Rukia was lying down on the bed, supposedly reading her manga, but instead watching HIM stare at her…

Since when have I been so pretty, it's not like I'm naïve, I see the way men watch me, their eyes looking up and down my little body. But Ichigo, He is ALWAYS watching me, he always listens to what I have to say, unlike many guys who just pretend. He truly has changed since I first handed over my powers to him.. He truly has grown up, but who, after going through all that shit following and during Aizen wouldn't change? No one, in fact all of us have changed, even myself… She thought, her mind swirling with her thoughts of the past three years. She looked up, then, realizing that Ichigo was STILL watching her, she giggled, and asked "Whatcha' lookin' at Ichigo?"

His eyes instantly met hers, recognition finally going through to his mouth, that she knew that he was watching her. "Ummmm n-nothing," he stammered, returning to his textbook.

F "Didn't look like nothing to me.." she said in her low tone, giggling again. "Come on, come sit up here with me or do something, I know you don't like studying, and I know that you know you don't have to in order to do well in classes." She patted the spot on his new double bed next to herself, and scooted over to make room. "Come on, sit." She said, smiling at him.

Darn her.. gah.. I mean.. if she insists.. he thought.

"Okay.. if you say so," he said, moving to sit down next to her. "What is it that you wanna do anyways?"

So.. should I talk to him about him watching me… or .. play a board game??? BOARD GAME!

"Oooh, lets play my new Chapy The Bunny's World Risk!!!" she shouted, jumping up and running towards her bed, pulling out the said Risk game. "Come on, let's play!" she said.

He groaned, he just knew that they would be up for HOURS playing her stupid new game.

WHY Why did Renji have to buy her that for her birthday?? Doesn't he know that he's putting me through hell, wait a second, that's probably why he did it! GAH he thought.

" Fine, let's play, you can be Chapy.." he said, beginning to unfold the board game on their table..

A Happy Rukia is better than an angry one… he thought.

A/N: So… should I continue, or scrap this and stay to reading?? Please Review and tell me what you think.. if you tell me to stop writing, I will.. And SOMEDAY I'll try again. Thanks for reading my horrid story, I truly appreciate it.
