Chapter 2
They walked around town stopping at almost every store. "Is this what you are supposed to do on a date?
"Yeah, sometimes," Ichigo was holding a bag from about 20 different stores.
"Really, then I love dates,"
"Good then you will love this,"
"What?"
"Rukia, will you be my girlfriend,"
"Yes," She got up on her tippy-toes and kissed him on the lips.
They walked around until they found a little restaurant. While they had dinner they talked about dating and what everything was. After dinner they walked back home (well Ichigo walked and Rukia slept on his back, while he carried the entire bag as well).
When they got home Isshin was waiting for them in the living room. "What do you want, Old man?"
"Where were you,"
"For you information we were on a date,"
"What,"
"You heard me,"
"Wow, you and Rukia, I would have never thought," He said with a smile "I was wondering when they would finally show their true feelings," Though Isshin
"What is so surprising, I mean, we spend most of our time together, and I always talk about her,"
"Yeah, but I never thought that you would ever actually have the gut to ask her," Isshin felt a hard punch in the side of his face.
"What was that for," Her asked Rukia.
"You should be nicer to him, all he ever does is help you out, and you repay him by attacking him in the morning, when he leaves and comes home from school, and pestering him!"
Isshin stood up and looked at Rukia," The only reason I do that is because I am training him, you might not know, but I know what you two are,"
"What you know,"
"I always have, I use to be a shinigami too,"
Ichigo and Rukia would have stood in that spot forever if Ichigo wouldn't have walked out the door. "Ichigo where are you going!" Rukia yelled out the door he said nothing. Rukia ran back inside and grabbed their coats, and ran back out the door after him. He was already half way up the block by the time she caught up with him. "Ichigo where are you going!" He just kept walking. Finally she ran ahead of him and stopped him. "Rukia please move,"
"No what is your problem,"
"Why did he never tell me in all the months that I have been a soul reaper he never told me he was one he could have helped me, in so many ways why," Ichigo was sitting against the wall on the verge of tires. Rukia slid down next to him. "Ichigo why don't you ask him this, he is the best one to answer all of your questions,"
"You don't know how hard that would be,"
"Ichigo…" He turned and looked at her anglic face.
"I will be by your side the whole way through,"
They walked back to the house where Isshin was waiting for them. Ichigo sat down on the couch with Rukia by his side. "WHY," That was all he could say.
"I never told you because I didn't want this to happen,"
"YOU COULD HAVE HELPED ME,"
"I haven't been a shinigami in many years there is no way that I could have helped you, I don't have all my powers back,"
"But…"
"Ichigo, in away, I have helped you,"
"What,"
"All the attacks in the morning and when you leave and come home from school, I do that to train you to fight and dodge so that you won't get hurt,"
Nothing more was said. Ichigo and Rukia went up stairs and go ready for bed. "Are you sleeping in the closest?"
"No,"
"Then where are…" Rukia pushed him in to the bed before he could say anything else.
That night they slept in each others arms. They were awakening by the sound of Ichigo's alarm. On their way to school they said nothing or did nothing they just walked like nothing had happened over the weekend. It was the same at school they acted like normal and no one knew, but them. They went straight to Ichigo's room when we got home. As soon as the door closed behind them Ichigo turned around and started to kiss Rukia. He picked her up and carried her over to the bed were he lightly tossed her. She giggled. A little too loud because to there was a knock on the door. "Ichigo dinner is ready," Karin called for the other side.
"Ok we will be down in a minute," He starred at Rukia until he couldn't hear Karin's footsteps anymore. He then leaned down a kissed Rukia once more; bring her back to her feet on the way back up.
That sat next to each other at the table, under it they held hands. After dinner they went back up to Ichigo's room were they kissed some more. Once they heard everyone go to bed then went down stairs and watched a movie. And again the fell asleep in each others arms. Rukia woke up at 5 that morning to the rise of the sun. She smiled and starred at the sun for a few minutes then noticed where they were. "Ichigo," she pulled on his sleeve, but he didn't move so she tried a different tactic. She slapped him, but even that didn't make him move. She sat there for a few minutes thinking about a way to wake Ichigo up. Then she had it. She leaned over Ichigo and kissed him. He finally woke up with this one little kiss. How did that happen I kissed him and he woke up that just is too weird? Ichigo smiled at Rukia. "I was wondering when you were going to kiss me,"
"What?"
"I really woke up when you pulled on my sleeve but I order to get you to kiss me I pretended to be asleep, and believe me it was a lot harder then you think especially when you hit me,"
"You bastard how could you do that,"
"Sorry I want to have a little fun," He smiled
She glared at him," I was trying to tell you that we are down stairs and if you don't want you sisters finding out we better move,"
"Oh," Ichigo was surprised he forgot that they had fallen asleep watching that movie last night." Sorry." Ichigo then picked Rukia up walked her to (now what he calls their room) in his arms. And they went back to sleep in their bed.
When they woke up again it was now around noon. They came down stairs together, Yuzu was cooking lunch. "Morning," Yuzu smiled.
"Morning," Rukia answered. They sat down and ate lunch, and again held hands under the table so no one could see. After they ate lunch they went up stairs to their bedroom. They spent the day there just talking (a.k.a kissing). After dinner and they were back in the bedroom. Ichigo said, "Rukia I think that it is time that we make our relationship public, don't you think,"
"Yeah I have gotten tired of trying to hide it from everyone," Just then Rukia's phone started to beep. Ichigo involuntarily grabbed his substitute shinigami badge and then jumped out the window, with Rukia behind him.
They ran down the street trying to find the source of the large spiritual energy. Once they found the hollow Ichigo made quick work of it. On their way home, Ichigo would pull Rukia in to just about every dark alley, trap her between the wall and him and kiss her. This made it take about 4 times as long to get home than usual. For the rest of the weekend they stayed in their room planning on how to tell everyone. They didn't get very far though because every time they would look at each other they couldn't stop them selves from kissing each other.
