chapter 1:Ichigo's birthday surprise
After defeating Aizen, the world returned to as normal as It would be. The school year was over and it was a two days after that it was Ichigo's birthday. He said he didn't want a party so every listened, but still made a cake and got him presents. Rukia was having a tough time finding a good present for Ichigo. On Ichigo's birthday morning she still hadn't a present for him. Isshin had goten him a punching bag commenting
"I can't have him go soft this summer.",and Yuzu and Karin got him some manga about a boy with a metal leg and arm and his brother's soul in a suit of armor. Rukia came down the stairs and ate breakfast before heading out the door to search the shops. She looked all morning, but still didn't have a present for him. Coinsidently she ran into Ichigo as she was about to stop and have lunch. They went to a nerby shop and got some burgers and ate at a nerby table. As they were eating Ichigo asked what she was doing.
"Oh, I thought it would be nice day to walk around town." Rukia said. He bought the lie and continued to do errends for Yuzu after they finished lunch. She continued to search the shops for another hour until she decided she would give him a present to help him with his soul reaper powers. She went home and decided to read a romantic novel she got while out to pass the time. She was at the part where the two love birds declared their love for each other when Yuzu called every one for dinner. Since it was Ichigo's birthday she made his faverite curry.
After dinner Isshin brought out the cake and did one of his sneak attacks after he set it down with Ichigo stopping his attack with a kick to the face.
"The cake looks great." he said.
"I baked it myself." said Yuzu.
"Thank you Yuzu" he replied.
"It was no trouble at all" she answered back.
After cake and presents everybody went to bed, but before Rukiah went to bed she went to Ichigo's room and knocked on the door. He answered the door to see Rukia with her hands behind her back. "Hey Rukia, whats behind your back?" he answered. "Its your birthday present." she answered while pulling it out from behind her back "Its to help you sense spirite energy". Ichigo looked down to see a normal looking watch.
"It looks like a normal watch to me".
"Thats the point it looks like a normal watch, but increases spiritual power sensing abilities so you can wear it all the time." she said. He took the watch and put it on
"Thanks Rukia".
"No problem Ichigo and in fact it looks good on you." she said before kissing him on the ckeek, causing both of them to turn pink.
"Good night Ichigo." she said before hurrying of to bed, leaving Ichigo standing in the hall blushing a minute before going to bed himself.
