The Next Day

____________

It was lunch time at school. Ichigo and Rukia sat alone on the roof of the huge building. The sky was cloudy and there were leafs flying through the air. "The Soul Society has given me a house Ichigo. I am to be forced to live in it. It has a protective barrier against Soul Reapers and Hollows. Only Humans and Soul Reapers in Gigias may enter, only at my request."

"So that means I can't enter." Ichigo said, being a smart ass. "I am half Soul Reaper, Half Hollow, and Half Human. I don't have a Gigia. I can't protect you then."

"Don't be stupid Ichigo. You can enter in your human form. But once your in you can turn into a Soul Reaper, and a hollow. There are stares to a basement that is actually a Soul Reaper training ground. You can only activate your hollow powers in there. But don't worry." Rukia said with a smile. "The training ground is in another dimension, we can close the door to the steps, and its basically like your trapped there forever. The door needs to be opened from the house in order to re-enter the world of the living."

"So you don't get to live with me anymore? How sad. I will miss you snoring so loudly every night I can barely get to sleep." Ichigo said with his head held high.

She punched him in the shoulder. "Shut up! And you are going to stay with me as much as you want. The house is huge and I can't live in it all bye my self." Rukia release the words that came out of her mouth. She thought how stupid she just sounded.

"You want me to live with you?" Ichigo sounded more confused than usual.

Rukia stalled. "…It's by the Soul Society's orders. Trust me. I can't stand the thought of living with a giant smelly red haired bear." she said coyly.

"Shut up Rukia!" Ichigo became immensely pissed. "My dad will be overjoyed to know that you asked me to stay you. To bad for me. I get to stay in a house knowing there is a m midget running around the house with a knife. I always hated Chucky."

Rukia chuckled. She didn't even think about hitting him. "So. Will you stay with me? Ichigo Kurosaki?"

Ichigo smiled. "Damn straight I will stay with you. Rukia Kuchiki." He put his arm on her shoulder and dragged her close to him. Rukia eyes widened like they had before, but closed them immediately and laid her head on his shoulder. "You have so many different personalities Rukia. Your like the 7 dwarfs."

"Is that a short joke…" She said with anger. She wanted to hit him but she had her arms immobilized. 'He is much smarter than he looks. He took advantage of the situation. And he made it so I couldn't hit him so he could make a joke about me.' "Your such a idiot Ichigo."

"Shut up Rukia." he said teasingly. He just Realized she was looking at him with her big eyes. He had completely forgot how beautiful she was with her round purple eyes. Made him feel warm. He could simply just smile back at her.

"Ichigo." she said plainly.

"What is it Rukia?"

"Would you please take me to the beach. I am tired of school." she said just wanting to get away from school."

"You want to ditch school? Right now?" he said, completely caught off-guard.

"Yeah. Right now." she said sweetly.

He picked her up and jumped off the roof.

"Ichigo! Your not in your Soul Reaper form! What are you-!" She screamed.

But he landed on the ground with out making a pebble tremble from the non existent shock wave. "I learned how to use most of Soul Reaper powers in my human form. I am like you now." He said with a huge smile.

Before Rukia could even think, he had Flash Stepped them to the beach. "Unlike you, I can't use my sword in human form." he said as he sat her on the end of the dry sand. "Here we are."

"Thanks Ichigo." She took of her shoes and placed them to her side. She put her feet were the water will rise to. He laid down behind her. "We need to go to my house after we are done here."

"Okay. Wake me up after your done." he had almost dazed off before an elbow cam crashing down into his stomach. "AHHH!" What the hell was that for!" He said almost in pure rage.

"I wanted to spend time with you. Not with the water. You dummy." she said coyly

"…Humph… I knew you had a soft spot for me Rukia." he said filling up his enormous ego.

He got elbowed again. "Your right. I do care about you so much Ichigo!!" She said sarcastically. But in reality she really did have feelings for the big monster. She hoped to have there relationship become a great one, just as Ichigo does.

She laid herself back, finding herself on Ichigo's chest. "What the hell are you doing Rukia!" He yelled.

"Oh shut up. I know you like it." She said dryly. He gave is trademarked scowl.

Several hours later

________________

"So, were is ou-…your house?" he asked as he blushed.

Rukia just kept walking not saying a word.

"Hey! Rukia! Are you listening to me?" he griped.

"Why would I waist my breath trying to tell you were my home is. It will just go through one of your ears, and through the other. Idiot." she said coldly.

"I just spent 3 hours listening to you talk about your life and how you want to live as a normal human, and you won't tell me where your house is!" he yelled.

'He was actually listening to me?' "Oh sure you were. Just shut up, we are almost there."

He groaned. "Fine."

They eventually arrived at a 2 story enormous and refurbished house.

"Shit Rukia!" he yelled out of amazement.

"Oh.. Wow! I never saw it till just now. It's huge!" She walked to the door and opened it. It was huge inside as well. Flat screen, huge kitchen, filled with groceries, every room in the house was beautiful and had everything she needed for a the time being.

"Did Kisuke Urahara design this house?" he said irritated.

"Yeah, I think so… why?" she wondered.

"There is only 1 bed in this entire house. And all of the couches are to small for me." His face tight, and red.

Rukia went blazing red. "Damn it. That Kisuke" she said pissed.

The bed was a full king size bed. And it was true, all of the couches were to small. Ichigo was to much of a gentlemen to make her sleep on the couch. So if they had to stay in the same house, he would have to sleep in the same bed with Rukia. 'I wanted to be closer to Rukia, but this is a little to fast, and is going way to far…' "Rukia, I don't think I am going to stay with you after all.. Sorry.." he said with a mix of sadness and happiness.

"Sorry Ichigo, but it's under the Soul Society's direct orders for us to live together, even if it means sleeping with each other every night." she said dryly.

'Did she have to word it like that?!' He groaned… "Fine.."

They spent hours checking the house. But Ichigo need to go back up his things and talk to his father. "Hey Rukia, I need to go. I will be back in a couple of-."

*AHHHHHH!* *AHHHHHH!* *AHHHHHH!*

Rukia's Soul Pager went off again. "Its on 54th street Ichigo! Lets-" she was interrupted.

"Don't worry about it. I will take care of it on the way, I will call you after I get it. Later." he closed the door.

Rukia was alone in her huge house. 'I can't believe Ichigo will be living with me. It will be like we are a true family. Like we are a… couple' She put her hand on her chest and looked down. "I will just go make some dinner for later. I am glad Yuzu taught me how to cook after all!" she said with excitement. She turned on the TV to her chappy show and turned on the oven.

Ichigo had arrived at the place were Rukia had said the hollow was. He be looked everywhere for it. "BANKAI!" A familiar voice rang out, but Ichigo didn't believe it. "*Tensu Zungatsna*!" Ichigo ran to were he heard the voice. "Watch and learn Ichigo, this is how a true bankai is used." The man lifted his small blade and swung it at the enormous beast. "Tensu Tensa!" A huge wave of orange had spilled out of his very small sword. Enclosing the monstrous hollow inside it and disappearing as if it never really was there.

"Holy… Shit…" he said in disbelief.

"Hey, I think we need to talk son." Isshin gave a huge grin that Ichigo wore so well. His bankai was almost a duplicate of Ichigo's, only his was almost as white as snow, and his sword was a crystal silver like the moon. But his Captains vest remained on his left shoulder, only the primary color was Black and the dots were white.

Ichigo's House

"So your telling me you were a captain of the Soul Society?" Ichigo asked in disbelief.

"Correct. Sorry I never told you Ichi-OWW" He was punched in the face.

"You're a terrible father!!" he yelled.

"Yeah, tell me about it.." he replied. "So you are going to be living with Rukia from now on?"

"Yeah, unfortunately." he said but he was so happy on the inside.

"I wouldn't say that, She is a great lady, And she has a good heart for you. I don't know what is about you. I was the same way, the girls just cling to be once they met me. But kept there distance if you we never speak to them. We are much more alike then you will ever no son." He sat up and turned back into his Human form using his Advanced Combat Badge. "I will go pack for you. Go say goodbye to the girls. But remember to visit from now on. Got it Ichigo?"

"Right." He got up and went up stares with his father. Happily, for the first time cense he could remember.

"Ohm Ichigo!! I am going to miss you so much!!!" Yuzu cried. While Karin sat in the corner as she usually dose.

"Who cares, we will get our own rooms now. And it will be nice not to wake up to 2 people fighting every morning." She said dryly.

"Shut up Karin.." he said coldly. "I am staying one more night because the paper work isn't completely done yet."

He was attacked again by Yuzu, "ICHIGO!!!" She screamed.

Later that night he released he forgot to call Rukia. He punched in her number and pressed the green phone button.

"Hey, sorry about not calling you, you won't belie-" he was cut off.

"What the hell is your problem! You had me worried sick about you! You idiot!" she yelled

"Hey! Let me finish. You will understand why-." he was interrupted again..

"Understand why you promised me something as you rushed off to do something dangerous, but you don't because you just FORGOT?!" she almost screamed into the phone.

"LET ME FINISH YOU CRAZY MIDGET! MY FA-!" He yelled and was cut off for the last time…

"No! The next time I see I am going to kill you Ichi-!" She almost exploded.

"MY FATHER IS A SOUL REAPER!!!" He beat her to it.

"Wha-What?!" She calmed down.

"Yeah, I had the same reaction.." he calmed down as well. "Hey I am going to be there in about an hour. I don't want you to sleep in that scary house all by your self the first night. We will talk about this then."

"Alright Ichigo…" she paused but she hesitated to long he hung up the phone "I love you…" she dropped the phone to her lap and sighed.

"Hey dad, I changed my mind about staying the night, I am heading over to Rukia's. Talk to yah later Dad.-" He was interrupted by Karin and Yuzu attacking him in a huge hug.

"We are going to miss you Ichigo!" They said at the same time.

He dropped his bags to the floor and hugged them both back. "Yeah I will miss you guys as well."

Isshin had walked to him and hugged them all. "Goodbye my young son! I will miss you Ichigo!!" He jumped off of Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu and jumped to the poster of his wife, "Sweetheart! Our little boy is leaving us! Help me! Tell me what to do!" He sobbed.

"Your telling me his is a Soul Reaper Ichigo?" Karin asked in absolute disbelief.

"I am afraid so…" I said with irritation.

Ichigo walked to Rukia's house when he realized he needed some wheals. As he thought that he passed a motorcycle that had a sign on it that said FREE. He ran towards it and grabbed it. The keys were even on it. "Hey, if you want that its yours, but you are going to need to repair the engine, its loose, and there is no spark bolt. You can pick them up at the market." A young blonde lady in a dress said.

"Ugh… thanks… I think I can fix it. I am pretty good with my hands." he complimented himself.

"Well you do look like the type who would be." She agreed. "Its tank is absolutely full, so you won't be needing any gas for a while." she waved as she went back into her small home. "See you." she said with a smile.

"Thanks." He replied.

He walked to Rukia's house with the motorcycle. He put the kick stand down in front of the patio to the door. He walked to the door and knocked. It was locked. It slowly opened.

"Hey Rukia. I got uh..uh.." he shuttered.

Rukia was wearing a braw and a night skirt. "You know that's in 10 Ichigo. Right?" she said as if she was his mother.

"Wh-Whe-Wha-Why are you wearing that!" He said loudly. He found himself staring at her undressed body and could not look away. It was a good thing she was short, because she had no idea he was staring at her body.

"Because I can't barrow your sisters cloths anymore, and that bastard Urahara shopped for cloths for us. This is what he bought me. You would see the shirt he bought me… It's terrible."

Ichigo imagined what he had bought her and went red. He was so pissed how he could kill hollows, and defeated the most powerful person in the Soul Society, but couldn't fight a little red from coming to his face. "Oh well.. I am going to take a shower." he said as he walked past her and up the stairs and into there room.

He undressed himself and hopped into the shower and put the water to as high as his body would allow. He then got out and searched though the sleepwear Urahara had bought for them. He grabbed a pair of underwear and long sweatpants. He walked out of the bathroom and Rukia was under the sheet reading a big book. She looked up from her book and saw his naked upper body she quickly brought her face back into the book as she blushed. "I am glad those fit you. I would have been terrible if I had to look at those ratty, ugly pants you wore up close, Ichigo." She said with a hint of flirtation. Which he did catch.

"I caught you staring Rukia." He said with his big ego.

Rukia built it up even more. "I know. You looked so hot in them." she tried as hard as she could to not show her sarcasm.

"You know it Rukia." He chuckled and got in the bed. She put the book down. And settle into the bed herself.

"Ichigo…" she said.

He got up on his elbows and turned towards her. "What's up?"

"Do you think Renji is okay?" she asked out of no where.

Renji was in Hueco Mundo leading an assault on the arancar base. Exterminating any hollow they find there. "Why do you care so much about him!" He felt jealous.

"He is my best friend you moron! Why do you care how I feel about him!" She hissed.

"Because he is an idiot!" He griped.

"Your acting like a bigger one!" Her emotions were starting to overflow.

"He is a walking freak show with tribal markings ALL OVER HIS BODY!" he almost scared himself he was so enraged.

"Would you just shut up about stuff you know nothing about!!" She exploded. Preventing him from even answering, without thinking she grabbed his face and put her soft lips to his. She was so embarrassed about what she had done, but even more embarrassed that she was still kissing him.

She pulled away. "You are like a god damn light switch Rukia. You absolutely piss me off. And you completely turn me on Rukia." He said plainly. "Your on at the moment Rukia." He put his lips to hers but he was in control this time.

"I thought that I told you to shut up." she said with her lips on his. She took in a quick breath that rushed into her lungs in a gasp. With her hands still on his face. She continued kissing him.

Ichigo slid his hands to the back of her head and around her waist to bring her closer. She brought her hands around his neck and pulled him closer to her height as she kissed his bottom lip. She began to moan as he lifted her off of the bed and into the air. They began to slip there tongue's into each others.

He began to tremble because his grip wasn't so good. Rukia complained, "Am I to heavy for you? You need to start training again Kurosaki." she teased as Ichigo nipped lightly on the edges of her mouth.

He pulled his face back and looked into her eyes. "If its training like this, it won't be so bad." he said huskily.

Rukia made a admirable snort. "That the first time I heard you say that before." She moved up to his ear and ran her tongue in his ear.

"I bet I can get you to stop mocking me." He bit her neck and she gasped. She thought that she would be angry that he bit her, but she actually felt she lost the ability to think.

"Ichi..!" She hissed. Ichigo had put her against the wall and began to suck on her neck. There hearts began beat harshly. She began to feel his body. His muscles and his lean figure. He pushed them of the wall and through her body on the bed and jumped on top of her. He raped his arms around her back under her arms and Rukia continued to Suck on his face. He tried to find her bra strap. But stopped.

Rukia tried to catch her breath. "What…gasp…Why did…gasp… you stop…?"

"I don't want to do it right now. I want to wait." he panted.

"I have waited over 100 years." she said irritated.

He looked at her body. "Shit your beautiful Rukia." He tried to look away.

"Why are you having such a hard time looking at me like this. You can read those books that describe moments like this in over 100 pages." she griped.

"They never saw anything like you Rukia."

She smiled. "Good answer Ichigo." She layer down and brought him to his side. I took her into her figure. She fit so well in his large mass. "You know there are rumors about us in school. And the Soul Reapers are making bets about who I am going to choose. You or Renji."

He smiled "Did I win?"

She pinched his arm that wrapped around her.

"Ow! I know… your not a prize." he hesitated. "But I won right?"

Rukia rolled her eyes before meeting his. "If you call winning earning someone's heart that you have already had for the past few years winning. Then yes, you won." she said.

He grunted. "You just made my oversized ego even bigger."

"You know I could pop you at any moment correct?" she teased.

"Yeah but you will wait until its bigger than life, then pop it just to satisfy yourself." He grunted.

Rukia was too comfortable to agree with him. "Kiss me again Ichigo".

He didn't argue and kissed her gently. 'I can easily get use to this.'
