ICHIGOANDRUKIASITTINGINATREE...

The Taste of Kisses

Ichigo Kurosaki, and Rukia Kuchiki were sitting in the small, cozy bedroom devoid of all decoration (Ichigo thought it helped his 'image'). Well, actually, Rukia was sitting at the small desk, and Ichigo was lying down on his bed, with books open in front of him. It was a normal day in the Kurosaki household. Isshin was at the clinic, Yuzu was in the kitchen cooking dinner, and Karin was in her bedroom doing goodness knows what. Yep, perfectly normal.

"Oi. I'm done," Rukia stated, having finished the truckload of homework within an hour because she was so used to doing paperwork in Seireitei.

Ichigo, who was only halfway done, started counting down silently. Five...four...three...two...one...

"Ichigo, what do kisses taste like?"

WOW! That was unexpected. Even though she asked such imbecilic questions every day, it usually pertained to the subject of modern technology, never something as awkward as 'kisses'!

"Ichigo! Baka, I asked you a question! Now answer, before I get mad at you..."

He grumbled a reply, not wishing to answer.

"I. Can't. Hear. You!" The pint-size teen was practically seething now.

"Dobe! I said I don't know! I've never... 'tasted' a kiss before! Besides, what kind of question is that?"

"The good kind. Now tell me the truth. You have too tasted a kiss. We were talking about it in school, and Tatsuki said you love them. She wouldn't lie."

"What!?! Tatsuki said what? Look, Rukia, I'm telling you the damn truth- I really don't know!"

Well, I want to taste one," she pouted, letting her irresistible cuteness do the talking for her.

"Hell, Rukia! You want to...you want to taste a kiss? How are you planning on doing that?

"You're gonna give me one!" she replied cheerily, as if it was the most natural thing in the world for Ichigo to be giving her a kiss.

"NO FRIGGIN' WAY!!!!"

"Why not?"

"Because... it would be wrong!"

"Why?"

By now, Rukia was standing next to his bed, towering over his figure, which was still lying down. Deathrays were coming out of her eyes, and Ichigo thought he heard the distinct sound of burning paper.

"You. Are. Going. To. Give. Me. A. Kiss. Or. ELSE!!" she seethed again. Ichigo sat up, thinking quickly. If he gave her one, he wouldn't ever be able to look at her again, a hard thing to do when the person in question LIVES in your friggin' closet. If he didn't, she'd probably go to someone else, like Kiego. He shuddered at the thought. "Okay, for Rukia's sake, I'll give her one," he thought to himself. He took a deep breath, stood up, and pulled Rukia close.

"Damn. I hate you Rukia," he managed to hiss, before leaning down and planting his lips on Rukia's. After a quick second, though it seemed like eternity to both of them, they separated. A blush raced wildly across their faces.

"Baka. I meant a Hershey's Kiss.," Rukia whispered, still aware of how close they were. She also noticed Ichigo's face suddenly become deathly pale as soon as she had said that.

"But thanks for... you know. It was better anyway," she added as an afterthought.

"Huuh," Isshin said with a sigh as he watched the scene in front of him, then with a big, thrusting leap towards his son, who was still clutching the arms of a girl, he yelled for the whole world to know, "Ichigo, my son!! You've finally grown up! I love you soo—"

"SHUT UP DAD!!!" cried an exasperated Ichigo who was currently living up to his name. Things couldn't have been worse. But secretly, he knew he'd enjoyed it.

While Ichigo was busy kicking his father away, Rukia thought to herself, "Thank you Tatsuki! And thanks, Ichigo, for being the biggest bonehead in history!"
