Well, I never really thought I'd get the second chapter up so soon..I got home from summer school and just felt like typing it up...considering I thought up half of the stuff..during the class...math is evil...well here it is..enjoy..or not...

Don't own Bleach, if I did it wouldn't be as cool as it is...

The rest of the ride went by either fast or slow, depending on who you ask. For Rukia it went by pretty fast, for Ichigo...it felt like days.

Somewhere in the middle of the second hour, Rukia woke up and began to complain.

"Uh..this stupid seat isn't comfortable at all!" she complained to Ichigo. Giving him a childish look.

"What? Does it look like I can do anything about it?" he told her.

"Actually, you could.."

"Huh, what are you-" Too late..She pushed him of the seat and stretched her body across it. Ichigo laid there on the compartment floor,glaring at her. Ignoring him,she pulled the blanket over herself and tried to go back to sleep. Tried, mind you, tried.

She hadn't even closed her eyes when Ichigo began to yell.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"I said you could help,this is how."

"By pushing me off the damn seat and making me sit on the floor! Hell no!"

"Shut up! I'm sleepy."she said, yawning.

"Get off!" Ichigo picked her up and placed her on her side of the seat. Not coming out unscathed, she kicked him at least six times.

Silence.

Rukia stayed in her spot,still very sleepy. Pouting. Every few seconds she'd turn to glare at Ichigo. Who tried his best to ignore her. But, to no avail. Her pouting was getting to him. Curse those beautiful eyes of hers. He thought. Then he gave in.

"Well, can't you sleep fine sitting there?"

"No, I can't it's just not comfortable."

"Then, can you think of a way to make yourself comfortable?"

"Well..there is but-"

"Then try it,idiot."

"Okay.." You're idea, it wasn't mine.

Ichigo wasn't paying well enough attention to notice Rukia,who had her back leaning against Ichigo, snuggling comfortably. Once he felt her weight...

"Huh? Hey,what are you doing?" he said,embarrassed.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Sleeping, of course."

"On me!? What am I a damn pillow?!"

"Right now you are." I'm actually enjoying this. His body is so warm. I feel so relaxed being so close to him. "Well if you don't want me to sleep there.." Next thing you know,her head was resting on his lap. Ichigo flushed red.

"N-Not there either." He stammered. Looking away. Embarrassed. Even though he was enjoying all this close contact. Not that he'd say it out loud, no way!

"Well, its one or the other. Either that or I sit here and bother you for the next three hours." She said, sitting up and crossing her arms.

"Okay, fine. Just not on my lap,okay?"

"Sure." She leaned back against him. Ichigo blushed. He could feel a smile tugging at his lips.

They arrived at the resort later than expected. They had to take a detour, due to a crash or something like that. Which just added another hour to the trip's time and another hour of Rukia using Ichigo as pillow. Eventually, to Ichigo's relief, Rukia woke up.

"Wow! Ichigo look at this! It's beautiful!"said Rukia. She was looking out the window, with a genuine smile on her face. She's really excited. I don't think I've ever seen her so happy before. She's so pretty when she smiles like that..This time,Ichigo didn't scold himself. He admitted to himself the fact that he thought she was pretty. But, that's it. Nothing else.

"It is beautiful." he said. But, you couldn't be sure if he was talking about the view or about the petite girl in front of him. You just couldn't tell.

The two exited the bus and went to find the others. They eventually found them. Inoue,Tatsuki,Sado,Ishida,Keigo,and Mizuiro where all together standing underneath a huge tree. Waiting for them.

"Here come the lovebirds!"Mizuiro said in a singsong voice.

"Ahhh..How sweet. You two enjoy your time alone?" Keigo asked. Making kissing faces at the two.

"Shut up, Keigo."Ichigo said. He caught Rukia staring at him with a look of thanks. Obviously, the little conversation was making her feel uneasy. Suddenly, a voice blared over a loudspeaker.

"Attention all! Our students from Karakura have just arrived. Please report to the gymnasium in the middle of the campground for an orientation and some ground rules. Thank you!"

"I guess we should get going."said Ishida. Sado grunted an approval.

"Right,"said Ichigo,"Let's go."

The gymnasium was a little far from where they were. But the walk was worth it. The campground was covered with trees and bushes. As they were walking, they caught a glimpse of gigantic lake. It was beautiful and peaceful. They all were in awe of the site's beauty.

Once they reached the gym, it was already really full. They just barely managed to find seats together. The orientation begun. A woman, maybe in her thirties, walked in front of them.

"Hello, all! My name is Mrs. Bravo. I work hear at the resort as a site supervisor. I have some rules I'd like to go over with you. You may not be at school right now, but all the rules still apply." She went on to tell them the rules and such. It was going to take awhile.

Rukia wasn't really listening at all. She was focusing on something else. Or rather being forced to focus on something else. In the row behind them were a group of three giggling girls. The were all giddy and pointing at something of interest. This was annoying the hell out of Rukia. Dammit! What in hell are they finding so damn interesting? Why won't they shut up? Rukia thought, annoyed.

That's when she got the audio.

"Look at him!"squealed one of the girls.

"He's such a hottie!" said another.

"Yea, hey you think he'll go on little hike with me or maybe to that dance at the end of next week?"

"No, he will with me." They started a 'who will get the guy' argument.

"Who are they-"Rukia said to herself. That's when it hit her. She turned her head back just enough to see who they were pointing at. Said boy was, Kurosaki Ichigo. Her eyes widened and she stifled a laugh.

"So they're after Ichigo are they." Well, they are not going to get him. She blushed to herself. What?! What am I thinking why should I care if some girls like Ichigo? She sighed. What is up with me lately? I keep wanting to be near Ichigo..I'm not falling in love with him, am I? She turned to see the girls still looking at him. Who cares? I'll just say I did this so they'd shut the hell up.

She leaned her head on Ichigo shoulder, hugged his arm, and cuddled to it. Take that. You damn annoying idiots. She smirked.

Ichigo looked down to see Rukia clutching his arm. He blushed.

"Rukia,what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm still tired."

"What? You slept the entire ride over here! How can you be tired?"he said in an angry whisper.

"Shhh,Ichigo you don't want to make a scene with all these people here. Do you?"

Ichigo looked around. If he did anything to pry her off his arm, all of them would see.

"Dammit!"he growled.

"I win."she smiled slightly. Then, she turned her head just enough to see the three girls dumbfounded faces staring back at her. Mission accomplished. She snickered.

"I'll get that girl just watch."said one girl with glasses. Rukia merely thought to herself: Bring it on.

Those girls weren't the only ones confused. Their friends were confused as well. Keigo looked like he was going to cry. Everyone else was just plain out confused.

The orientation finally ended about an hour after that incident. Now,each class had to meet at thier designated spots so they could be assigned to their cabins. Rukia was still attached to Ichigo's arm.

"Can't you let go now?"he asked her.

"I could."

"Then why won't you?"

"Don't feel like it."

"'Don't feel like it.' Dammit! Can't you just let go!"he yelled at her. A little louder than he wanted to. She let go and turned away from him.

"There. Happy."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to yell."

"Whatever, just forget about it." she said seriously. She went ahead to walk with Inoue and Tatsuki.

"Huh? Her attitude changed fast. Is something the matter with her?"he said to himself, worried.

The class waited for short time until another young woman walked up to them.

"Hello, my name is Jazmyn. I'm sorry to inform you that the cabins that your class were going to be using aren't usable at this moment. They were badly damaged recently. So, you all will be using tents instead!"

The class had a mixed reaction. Some were happy. They'd love to sleep under the stars. Others were the opposite. They didn't want to be cold and dirty. Even though they came for a camping trip.

"Looks like we have a little problem."said Jazmyn, after a while, "You have thirty kids in your class. We have here fifteen tents. Two people per tent. The problem is...we end up with one boy and one girl having to share a tent.."

This also caused a mix reaction. You probably know what they were.

"This isn't good. These are all we have. I got no choice. Now, let's see..." She looked at the list of names and then at the kids themselves. She saw Ichigo first. With hair like that he stuck out like a soar thumb. Then she remembered what she saw in the orientation. A girl with raven-colored hair was hugging his arm and cuddling to it the entire time. She found Rukia next. She wasn't standing far from him at all. She turned to her list to figure out who was who.

"Okay, I've chosen the two who will share the tent! Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia."she announced.

Almost simultaneously, everyone turned to Ichigo and Rukia. They both blushed. All you heard was whispers. There were plenty of rumors about the two of them floating around already. Now this!

"Okay, now that that is settled. All partners grab a tent and find a place to pitch it. Acceptable places to build the tent are marked with a green flag. Oh and the person you're sharing the tent with will be you're partner for the next two weeks. Any activities Mr. Yamamoto has planned, you will do with that one person. And only that person. Good luck." She left to let them put up the tents.

Ichigo grabbed a tent, managed to find Rukia, and find a spot behind a tree before anyone noticed where they went. Damn, this isn't good. Why in hell do I have to share a tent with her!?

"What's the matter, Ichigo? Don't want to share a tent with a girl."she teased.

"Shut up, midget!"he yelled.

"I'll let that slide this time. Only to tell you a few things."

"What?"he asked, angry.

"Okay, One, I live with you. Two, I used to sleep in your closet. This isn't a big deal. And finally, can't we chose a better spot to put this tent?"

"What does that have to do with it? This spot is fine."

"No, it isn't."

"It is.

"Isn't."

"Is." This went on for a while. Rukia eventually won, like always.

"I saw a better spot for us. It's a lot nicer."

She led him back to where Jazmyn had been talking them. Then, up a small hill. The hills trail was still covered trees and bushes. They made it to the top. Were they ended up was breathtaking. The top of the hill wasn't far way from where everyone else was. But, it was far enough. Giving the two a lot of privacy.It over looked the lake they saw earlier.

The sun had begun to set and the lake and Rukia, as Ichigo pointed out to himself, was beautiful in the orange glow.

"See, it is better. Earlier,before you found me I saw this place. I thought it was perfect. And no one has taken it. So, its all ours."

"You're right it is better." She wins again.

"Okay, let's build this tent thing." She pulled it all out of the bag and looked at it.

3,2,1.. "Umm...Ichigo some help, please."

Putting up the tent itself was quite the task. They did it eventually. It took longer than expected...They had a fake fight using the poles as zanpaku-to. They got tangled up in the poles and other parts to the tent and ended up laughing together for what seemed like forever. They were having a good time. Together.

"This is fun."said Rukia. After the tent was up. They were sitting at the edge of the cliff overlooking the lake. Watching the sunset.

"Yea, it is."Ichigo agreed.

"And its only the first day." Rukia said as she leaned her back against Ichigo's. She was going to grab for his hand. When the loudspeaker went off...

"Everyone! Time for dinner report to the Mess Hall!"

"Let's go."Ichigo said, getting up.

"Yea." Dammit! It just had to go off.

Weeee! Second chapter is up! YAY! I hope that the story is progressing nicely.
