Rukia awoke to find herself on Ichigo's bed.
why am I here?
She felt a light weight on her arm, she looked down to see Kye cuddled next to her, she couldn't help but soften her eyes at the display of affections this little boy was giving her. Her eyes wandered off to Ichigo's bedroom floor. Her eyes slightly widened. There was Ichigo lying on the floor with no shirt!
Where's his shirt! Was it that hot last night?
Thats when she realised he was using his scrunched up shirt as a pillow "phew, that was close for a second there I thought we may have down someth- wait! What am I thinking!?"
Rukia metally slapped herself. She shouldn't be thinking like that, especially since its Ichigo. She heard a grumble, was Ichigo waking up?

Ichigo groaned in his sleep, for some reason his bed felt very hard, and why was his pillow so tiny? He rolled onto his side, trying to find a more comfotable position. It work for a little while.

Rukia realised Ichigo was in an uncomfotable position so she decided to wake him up even if it was a sunday. She gently put the sleeping Kye's head on to the pillow and removed herself from the bed, she walked gently across the floor so she wouldn't wake up the sleeping boys. She bent down next to Ichigo. "Ichigo" she called softly. No answer, Rukia sighed, this was going to be tough.

Kye slightly awoke from his slumber, he thought he heard Rukia's voice so he opened one eye and saw Rukia kneeling beside Ichigo. From what he could tell she looked to be brushing the fringe out of his eyes. "Ichigo" she said, "you should wake up, it looks uncomfortable there" he replied with a groan. "Rukia?" He said as his eyes fluttered open. "hey sleepy" she said.

Ichigo slowly rose up from where he was sleeping "Rukia, why am I on the ground?" He asked suddenly. "How should I know, I woke up in your bed with Kye" said Rukia as she pointed her thumb at the sleeping figure. "Oh.." Said Ichigo, "Oh?" repeated Rukia "yeah I kinda remember now, you and Kye fell asleep on my bed and moving you guys would be too much of a hassle so I camped out on the floor "oh" she repeated. 'Well I thought I would wake you up anyway cause you looked uncomfortable". "Heh, thanks", "no problem, now hurry up and get your shirt on i'm hungry". "Aw, don't like what you see?" Teased Ichigo "hmph not really, your kinda scrawny actually" replied Rukia. Ichigo's smirk changed into a scowl "whadaya mean scrawny?" "Well compared to Renji you are, and thats saying something cause Renji's considered as a light weight in Soul Society".
"WHAT! You lie!" Replied Ichigo "nope" Rukia replied smugly, she had expected him to give up after that but when she saw his scowl turn back into a grin she began to worry. "Well maybe your eyes aren't working so well as they use to" He whispered as he moved closer "I-Ichigo?" Damn her voice got caught in her breath. He leaned on top of her and Rukia was forced to lay on the floor with Ichigo hovering above, He slowly raised her hand to his well toned chest, Rukia's eyes widened. "Maybe you should let your hands judge because your eyes don't seem to be working properly at the moment" he said as he whispered in her ear, Rukia got goosebumps all up her neck and arms as his breath tickled her ear. He then moved her hand down lower, to his six pack, he didn't think Rukia's eyes could get any wider, he silently laughed. "Well? Whats your judgement now?" He asked, grinning proudly "your not playing fair" she spoke softly. Ichigo chuckled "I take it you've changed your mind then?" He knew he was pushing it but it felt so good to be winning against her for once instead of losing not to mention he didn't mind her warm hand being there. He moved his head slowly towards Rukia's, he had no idea what he was doing, his mind at the moment had turned to jelly. Rukia also moved her head forward.
KNOCK, KNOCK
Ichigo and Rukia backed off eachother imediately. "Ichi-ni? Are you awake?" Rukia looked at Ichigo "uh, y-yeah Yuzu, what do you want?" "I just came to tell you your friends are here". Now both of them had their eyes wide open "who exactly Yuzu?" Asked Ichigo "oh just Ishida-San and Inoue-San" both Ichigo and Rukia sighed in relief "ok Yuzu I'll be right down'. They both walked down the stair aisle, not daring to look at eachother. "Kurosaki-Kun! Kuchiki-San!" Waved an over cheerful Orihime. "Hello Inoue" Rukia greeted "Kurosaki, why is your shirt back to front?" Asked Ishida, Ichigo's face turned scarlet red from embarassment "It just is ok!"
SILENCE
"Uh...Any-"
"YAWN" everybody raised their heads to the stair aisle "what did I miss?" Asked Kye, eyes still foggy from sleep. "Ah Kye, your up, did you sleep well?" Asked Rukia "yeah" said Kye as he broke into a big grin "thats good" she said. "Wow he even has Ichi-ni's grin" said Karin from the hallway. "Eh? What are you talking about Karin-Chan?" Asked Inoue. "Ichi-ni use to smile like that whenever mum was around" eveybody's eyes went from Kye to Ichigo "hey! Don't compare us!" 'Ne, Kurosaki-Kun...Is he your son?" wondered Orihime "WHAT!? No! Of course not!" Ishida pushed his glasses up and bent down to inspect the young boy. He first observed his hair, it was jet black, his eyes wandered over to Rukia's hair, it was the same colour. He then gazed into his eyes, they were a familiar chocolate brown colour "definetly Kurosaki's eyes" he thought. "Hey mister, are you gay?" Ichigo burst out laughing. "W-what was that you little brat!?" "I just assumed you were gay cause you were staring at me as if you were checking me out" said Kye as he folded his arms over his chest "oh and just to give your hopes up, I don't swing that way" Ishida was now red with embarrassment and anger, his was shaking his hands as if he was imagining choking something. Ichigo was still laughing his head off. "He definetly has Kurosaki's attitude too" thought the now red Ishida.
"Um ok, just to clarify things" spoke Rukia, Ichigo stopped laughing. "Kye is one of my distant cousins from the Kuchiki family, He is no way related to Ichigo therefore he cannot be the father of Kye, we were ordered by Ni-Sama to take care of him for a while, thats all" Inoue let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Can you honestly believe that story Kuchiki-San?" Asked Ishida "eh? Whats that supose to mean of course I can, Ni-Sama told me himself" "if you say so" sighed Ishida. "Ne Rukia, is it ok if you and Ichigo could take me to the park?" Asked Kye. "The park? Sure why not? You coming Ichigo?" "Might as well, I don't have anything better to anyway" replied Ichigo "did you guys want to come?"
"YES!"
"No"
Ichigo and Rukia both looked at Ishida and Inoue. "Aw, so your not going to come Ishida Kun?" Asked Inoue.
"Uh, no Inoue-san I can't".
"Hm, oh well I'll talk to you later then" said Inoue as she waved her hand vigirously at Ishida.
The walk to the park was peaceful, Kye usually walked close to Rukia, Inoue noted. She looked up at Ichigo who was walking beside her, she noticed that his scowl had softened a bit and his body looked relaxed. "Ne, Rukia?" "Yes Kye?" She replied "what do you like about Ichigo?" He asked. Rukia stopped walking, "whoa, whats with the twenty questions?" She playfully asked. "Yeah and why are all the questions about me" butted in Ichigo, Inoue watched in interest. "Hmph, does it really matter? I was just curious thats all" said Kye as he crossed his arms over his chest and held his chin up "argh! Don't do that! Rukia does the same thing!" Said Ichigo "do what?" Asked Kye slightly annoyed "yeah, Do what?" Asked Rukia also annoyed. "Whenever we get into an argument you always cross your arms and raise your chin and act as if your all high and mighty and above me!" "Well maybe I am above you! Don't forget Ichigo I'm a noble!" "Not in this world you are!" They're faces moved closer to eachother with each coming insult.
"Well at least my eyes work properly!" "What are you talking about fool?! My eyes work perfectly fine!" Said Rukia, face red with anger. "well they weren't this morning! And to think you were comparing me to Renji!" Inoue was now really interested, Rukia was comparing Ichigo to Renji? Did Rukia and Renji have something going on in the past? "well at least i'm not a pervert!" She yelled "i'm the pervert? If I remember correctly it was your hand on my chest!" Ok, Inoue wasn't so interested anymore, in fact it kinda hurt a little. "And who was the one guiding my hand!? Not to mention you were basically on top of me!" Spat Rukia "well it didn't look like you had any intentions stopping me so that makes you a pervert as well!" Rukia opened her mouth then closed it again "it does make me one" she thought. "Um, guys?" Rukia and Ichigo spun their heads around at the voice's owner "your friend ran off in tears" said Kye as he jerked his thumb in the direction where Inoue ran off.
"Uh oh"
"what?" Ichigo asked Rukia. "Inoue has feelings for you".
