chapter 2: Ichigo's dream

Ichigo was stunned. Rukia, who he had only ever thought of as friend, had just kissed him on the cheek. He was frozen still on the outside, but on the inside he was deep in thought. He was wondering if Rukia still wasn't completely filled in on what a kiss means. After standing in the hall for a minute or two he went back into his room and layed on his bed. He thought of all the reasons she would kiss him and the top two were that ether she thought girls gave their freinds a kiss on their birthdays like guys give birthday punches or that she had feelings for him.

He started to dream he was sitting in his room with Rukia. The only thing out of the ordinary was the fact that Rukia was holding his arm while leaning her head on his cheast.

"Ichigo, I need to ask you something" she said.

"What is it?" he replied.

"Do you love me?" she asked him.

"I love you with all my heart" he replied before drawing her into a deep, passionate kiss. He put his toung to her lips asking for permission to continue. She responded by putting her toung in his mouth, their toungs exploring each others mouths. Only stopping to breath before kissing again and again, their faces getting redder with each kiss (or from lack of oxygen). They continued until they fell onto the bed kissing in each others arms.

Their legs wraped around each other and they hugged each other in embrace. Just as they are were about to move on Byakuya busted in with his zanpakuto ready to slice Ichigo in half.

"Kurosaki, stay away from my sister or die" he threatened. They both looked at him in shock, both of them wondering why he was here. They both stood up screaming

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?".

"I'm here to keep you from having a relationship with this human, it would discrace the Kuchiki name" he replied before turning his attencion to Ichigo

"I told you to get away from Rukia, or do you plan on dying today Kurosaki?".

"I know why you are here Byakuya, but I love Rukia and you can't keep us apart, and to hell with you if you arn't smart enough to think more about Rikia's happiness instead of honor." Ichigo told him.

"Very well, then die." was what Byakuya said a split second before stabbbing Ichigo in the cheast. His blood splatering everywhere, including onto Rukia. Byakuya pulled out his sword and Ichigo fell to floor, looking up at Rukia as she bent over holding him, saying his last words

"Rukia, I love you and I want you to be happy, forget about me, find someone new, smile".

Rukia sheded tears without end as she spoke

"You arn't going to leave me yet you idiot".

"Shut up miget" he said as he died in her arms thinking not about how he wouldn't see Rukia again, but hoping Rukia would find happiness without him. That is where the dream ended and Ichigo woke up in a sweat, realizing he needed to tell rukia how he felt before it was too late. That and the fact he needed to keep a relationship between him and Rukia to be a secret to Byakuya.
