(Yay! Thank you to those who reviewed and favorite'd the story ^-^ it made me happy when I saw that so Thanks!

I totally forgot to put this in the other chapter so I will be adding this right now.

Okay! So as you know this is my first fanfic. Wait actually that's not entirely true hahaha I actually use to write fanfiction back in high school but stopped for a reason that is still unknown to me, but it hasn't stopped me from reading them or wanting to write them. Anyway, Bleach. Love Bleach. Love the characters, love the story. My favorite pairings is of course Ichi/Bya but there isn't enough fanfiction of them and I dunno why that it. They are an adorable couple! It's like damn! Hahaha so about a year ago I decided I wanted to write a fanfic about them cuz they are awesome and they deserve it!

Keep in mind that this is my first story in many years so I am a little rusty, treat me kindly please! I will do my best to update the story as much as possible ^-^ on with the story!

Yaminom out.)

Chapter one: It started with a phone call.

"There!" exclaimed Ichigo with a smile on his face.

He stared down at his notebook with satisfaction, the page was covered with top to bottom with words, and that was just the first page. Ichigo started flipping back through the pages counting how many pages he had used up writing. It had been awhile since he had a big inspiration to write so looking back at the pages he felt pretty proud of himself, regardless if not one of them was any good.

"Nine…ten…eleven…tweleve…thirteen!" smiled Ichigo "Not bad!"

Stretching his arms out, he rested his hands behind his head while he closed his eyes and finally relaxed.

Once he sat down in the chair, put his headphones on and set his music player on shuffle and grabbed his pen and started writing. It was always like this, once he was in the zone nothing nor anyone seem to get his attention. All he did was write.

"When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?"

Opening up his eyes, Ichigo stared up at the ceiling enjoying the music blasting into his eardrums. It was "Only Time" that was currently playing. It always made him feel happy and also a bit lonely whenever he listened to it. The song was about the longing for a relationship but once obtaining it, feeling lonely than you did before you started. Ichigo could relate, more or less. Despite never being the one to seek out a relationship, he always did feel lonely in the relationship which resulted in him dumped…a lot. It wasn't that he was bad at being a boyfriend (okay, maybe he was but still!) it's just that he didn't respond to intimacy like a normal teenage boy. Not that he was still pure (he got rid of his v-card in high school) but one could say he had a naïve outlook of romance.

"What will it take to make or break this hint of love?"

Lifting his right hand up to his face he looked at his watch. 8:35. Whoa when did it get to be so late…or so early? Slowly sitting upright Ichigo took out his headphones and placed them on his desk and reached for his little music player and pushed 'pause' and then reached for his notebook and closed it before resting his player on top of it.

'I don't have to be in class till 11 so I have time.' He thought to himself.

"Well it seems your finally back on planet earth."

Jumping and exclaiming Ichigo turned around and saw Rukia sitting on his bed staring at her phone.

"When the hell did you get here?" asked Ichigo "Why didn't you call beforehand!"

"I did." Said Rukia, looking up from her phone at Ichigo before reaching behind her and grabbing Ichigo's phone from underneath the pillow "I called 3 times and text you 4 times. I did leave a message saying I was going to use the spare key you two hide underneath the flower pot outside and let myself in. I figured you were still sleeping but when I came in here I find you sitting there writng like the holyghost was coming for you."

"What the hell does that mean?!" exclaimed Ichigo, getting up from his chair and walking over to his best friend and sitting down beside her.

"What are you doing here so early?" asked Ichigo.

"Hmm?" hummed Rukia "Oh nothing, I thought we could walk to school together, if you want."

"I don't mind." Muttered Ichigo, who turned around lifted his legs over Rukia and rolling over towards the wall by his bed "Wake me up when you want to go."

"Oh no you don't!"

Ichigo felt his arm being pulled. Groaning he curled up into the fetal position and tried to block out Rukia's voice as she began to shout and hit him.

"It's your own damn fault for staying up all night writing!" yelled Rukia "If it had been for school, I would let you sleep a little bit but since it's not, you are staying up till AFTER class is over with. Now get your sorry ass up and take me to go get breakfast!"

"What the hell makes YOU think I'm going to get you or even me breakfast!" retorted Ichigo as he turned his back on her

"You're broke already!" exclaimed Rukia

"No!" growled Ichigo "Why do I have to buy breakfast? You get paid more than me at your fancy job!"

"It's the least you can do for not returning my phone calls or text messages! And making me wait an hour and half till you stopped writing!" shouted Rukia

"That's your own damn fault!" yelled Ichigo "No one asked you to show up at the crack of dawn!"

"Oh my god you're such a ditz!" exclaimed Rukia "You promised to have breakfast with me today remember!"

Then it clicked.

'Holy crap it's Thursday' Ichigo thought in his head 'that means…'

Seeing Ichigo freeze up a little stopped Rukia from hitting him with her purse.

"Eh?" muttered Rukia "What's wrong Ichigo?"

"It's Thursday." Muttered Ichigo

"Yes it is." Said Rukia slowly "Wha…"

Ichigo sat up right and smiled at Rukia.

"He's going to be here tonight!" Ichigo said in a hushed awe voice

"Who?" asked Rukia"

"Byakuya!"

Ichigo could not contain his excitement the rest of the morning which made Rukia wish she had just left him at home and went off to have breakfast by herself. All Ichigo talked about was "Byakuya this" and "Byakuya that" and "Did you know Byakuya-", when they finally got to the school she was never so happy in her life to go to her Art History class.

'I swear he gets more and more obsessed with that guy every year.' She thought to herself 'I wonder what will happen if he ever gets to meet Byakuya. He'd probably faint like a girl!'

Giggling to herself she turned around and watched Ichigo run to his Creative Writing class. 'It is cute though seeing him act like that' she thought as she turn back and started making her way to class.

Ichigo could not contain his excitement. How could he forget that Byakuya was going to be performing tonight! He had bought tickets to the show months ago, it must have been pressure of work and getting ready for his final school projects that he had forgotten all about it.

"Good Morning Ichigo!"

He heard a familiar sing song voice from behind him.

"Oh good morning Hailey." He said brightly

"Huh you seem to be in a good mood this morning, you get some last night?"

"What!"

He turn to the girl walking next to him, how can she ask something like that? Damn Americans and their no sense of propriety!

"Oh don't give me that look! I was only kidding!"

"Humph!"

Hailey was in his creative writing class, a girl from Colorado (wherever the hell that was) who was studying abroad. He wouldn't say he was close to her as he was with Rukia but she was a good friend to him, despite her endless teasing.

"So why do you have a bounce in your step today? Tell me!"

"Oh, it's nothing…" Ichigo said

"C'mon tell me! Or I'll force it out of you!"

'Why the hell is she so loud in the morning?' wondered Ichigo as he entered the classroom and went and sat in his usual spot by the window.

"If I guess what you had for breakfast will you tell me?" Hailey asked brightly

"Sure I guess." Ichigo said half-heartedly as he flipped open his messenger bag and pulled out his notebook where he started to doodle.

"hmm… fish; fresh and preserved, a bowl of rice, pickles, tofu, and tea." said Hailey outloud

Twitching, Ichigo turned to his left at Hailey and stared at her in shock as she looked down at her phone.

.'How the hell did she know?! He wondered 'Is she even human?!'

"Well am I right?" she asked as she looked up at Ichigo's face "Say your making that funny face again Ichi!"

Shaking his head he turned away from her and returned back to his doodling.

"She's so weird!' he thought to himself

"I guessed right didn't I!"

-buzz buzz buzz buzz-

"What are you talking about Hailey?" Ichigo asked bemusedly as he reached for his phone in his pocket

"I knew it!"

"You probably asked Rukia what we had so you cheated and it doesn't count." He muttered as he looked down at his phone. 'unidentified caller" it read.

"Hey don't worry about where I get my sources! Now answer me!"

Ignoring Hailey for the moment,Ichigo answered the call.

"Yeah?"

"It's been awhile, Ichigo."

Ichigo gasped, and Hailey silenced her ranting and listened to the phone call.

"Renji?"

"Hey!"
