Ichigo finds himself in a horrible situation and only Rukia could possibly save him

Why. Were. There. So. Many. Of them?! Ichigo stood in the middle of a gaggle of girls all too close for his comfort and all a little too interested in him. He tried to politely get through them so he could continue to his class, but they only stepped with him stopping him in his tracks.

"Ichigo, where are you going I can help you?!"

"Kurosaki-kun let me buy you lunch!"

"I can hold your books!"

Why today out of all the days they chose to stampede him he had no idea, but he very well would like to punch the culprit in the face. At least then he'd have an outlet for his annoyance. "Ladies, I need to get to class if you could all just-"

"ICHIGO!" at the commanding voice all the girls around him stopped and turned to stare at the newcomer. Well, if she didn't show up like a raven haired goddess to grace him with her presence. She stomped through all the female students; and they backed up creating a wide gap for Rukia to walk straight through the middle. She stopped in front of him and had to crane her neck to stare at him.

"Ye~oof" and just like that she had knocked him in the gut and started dragging him behind her.

"Sorry ladies but I need him for a second." Why must she adopt that overly feminine voice to talk to their classmates he still had no clue. She'd been going to school long enough to know no one talked like that. As soon as they were out of range of the girls she let go him sending him flat on his back.

"Thanks for the rescue. I have no idea how I was going to get out of there without you."

She crossed her arms over her chest and stared down at him. From his view on the floor he had the perfect angle to look right up her- no, nope no, he was not a pervert! He sat straight up to stop himself from even attempting to glance at her making him knock right into her sending Rukia rocking back. She did a windmill motion with her arms and nearly fell over if he hadn't moved fast enough.

What an unusual position they were in now, him kneeling on one knee to catch her and her pressed head to toe against him. He knew exactly when she realized the position they were in because her faced flared a beet red. "Stop before someone sees us!"

He grunted at her swatting hands, "Hey if you keep hitting me you're gonna fall."

She stopped, and if looks could kill he would be well into soul society right now. He got to his feet still with one arm around her waist and once he knew her feet were planted he hesitated, but dropped his hold on her. For some reason he didn't want to let go of her, her tiny body felt right against his own. Stop those thoughts right there Kurosaki.

"You're going to have to make this up to me." He didn't hear her right. He was what?

"What?" Nice work Ichigo stop her in her tracks with your excellent speaking skills.

She smirked at him, "I rescued you, and in return you knock me over. Then force yourself on me without any consent. I feel you should make it up to me."

He frowned at her extremely confused by the change in events. He had been sure she was going to rip him a new one, not ask him for something.

"What?" Those excellent speaking skills of his and all their glory.

She ruffled through her bag and found whatever she was looking for and held it out for him to see. For the first time since she rescued him she grinned ear to ear and started doing these small little hops. He looked closer at the flyer; it was filled with bright colors and cute little animals and the name Berry Yogurt written on the top with bold letters. "I want you to take me here. All our classmates have been talking about it, and I want to go!"

He scratched the back of his head unsure how to respond to her request. If they went to a place like that with just them people might think they were dating, then again they already thought that. She frowned at his indecision and spoke up, "They have a chocolate fountain."

"We're going." He hooked his arm through hers and practically dragged her out the door. She knew his weakness well and used it against him every chance she got. But who could blame him; chocolate was a gift from the gods. She started laughing and speed walking to keep up with his longer strides so she wouldn't fall. How today turned out like this, he had no idea, but she seemed to always rescue him at the perfect moments.
