Ch.2- What the HELL!?
Ichigo awoke that morning, surprisingly, relaxed and warm. He checked the clock to see it read, 5:00 A.M. It was Saturday, so he could sleep in anyway. He cuddled his head once again to the soft black hair lying next to him. Wait . . . black hair?! He looked down to see a sleeping Rukia, her head rested in the crook of his neck, snuggling against him. He blushed and screamed in his head, What the HELL?!?!?!? What is Rukia doing in my bed!? Why is she so close!? But he quickly calmed down (sort of) when he remembered last night's event. He smiled a rare smile and wrapped his arm around her.
15 Minutes later
Rukia stirred slightly and opened her violet-blue eyes. She tried to make out the tan color in front of her when she felt an arm around her. She quickly turned her head up to see a sleeping, orange haired, Ichigo. Unlike Ichigo, she didn't forget last night's events and cuddled closer to his well-toned chest. Ichigo felt Rukia move and he snapped one eye open. He looked down to see her breathing slowly. He shut his eye closed and went back to sleep.
10 Minutes later
Ichigo opened his eyes as he felt a small hand on his face. He saw Rukia caressing his face. She looked up at him and her eyes widened in shock.
"Rukia, what are you doing?" he snapped as his scowl returned.
She quickly pulled her hand away, "Don't get the wrong idea, Fool! I was merely examining your face for wounds!" She snapped back.
"Right," he said. "And I look forward for the Easter Bunny coming every Christmas."
"An Easter Bunny!" She said excitedly. "Is he anything like Chappy!" He smirked and she quickly added, "But that's aside the point!" She jumped out of his bed and ran out the door. "I'm going to go eat breakfast!" She ran down the stairs in Yuzu's pajamas with a bright red flush on her cheek. He scowled and put on a white t-shirt. He walked down the stairs, to see Rukia eating Chappy the Rabbit Marshmallow Cereal. He got some orange juice and read the note on the fridge.
It read, "Dear Ichi-nii and Rukia-chan, Karin, Dad and I are going camping for the weekend. We left a little early, Dad said something like, 'Leave the boy here! I'm sure he will enjoy his privacy with Rukia-chan!' Sorry you couldn't come. I really feel bad leaving you two alone, but Karin says not to worry about it. Love you, Yuzu."
Yuzu's name was written in her fancy signature. Ichigo sighed and plopped down in the seat next to Rukia. "You know," he started. She stopped reading the back of the cereal box and looked at him. "Keigo's having a party tonight. I don't really want to go, but if you do, I guess I will just to make sure Keigo doesn't do anything stupid."
Her face brightened up and she said, "I would love to." She exaggerated the word "love". "Although, it may just be that I want to see you suffer at a social event."
He mumbled and drank his orange juice.
1:00 P.M.
Ichigo walked into his room, fully dressed to see Rukia in one of Yuzu's white jackets and her jean capries. She was reading a piece of paper that looked oddly familiar.
"So," she started. "Who's this 'Raven' you're writing about?" She held up a piece of notebook paper with the title, My Raven.
He flushed and lunged at her. She side-stepped him easily. "Where'd you get that?!" He shouted.
"I never knew you wrote poetry." She laughed. She read the poem, "My Raven, My Raven how sweet is your voice. Your hair midnight and flowing. I cannot resist your poise." He lunged at her again, but she stepped aside and let him run into the closet. "Oh how I wish to lay a kiss upon your pink lips. I wish to touch your skin, with my finger tips." She did spirit fingers with her free hand to exaggerate "finger tips". She continued, "Your petite, but beautiful form, only draws me closer. You take me up and down, like a roller coaster." He just crossed his arms and didn't even try to get it back. She sighed, "Aw. Is that all? Why didn't you finish it?"
He just walked up to her, grabbed her arm and pulled her face towards his, until their noses touched. She flushed and dropped the paper. He smirked and caught the paper. He let go of her arm and stood at full height. "You're such a sucker," he laughed.
She growled, "That's cheating!"
He just laughed, "That's being smart." She just mumbled and stomped down stairs.
5:30 P.M. Half and hour to Keigo's party
Rukia was flipping through the channels on the T.V. When Ichigo plopped down beside her on the couch. He was wearing a navy-blue hooded jacket and jeans. She smiled, "Chappy!!!" Her favorite show was playing on the Kid's Network. Ichigo rolled his eyes as she watched the Cartoon rabbit dance around the screen. After only 2 minutes of this, he couldn't take it anymore. He snatched the remote from her hands. "Hey!" She yelled.
He just flipped though the channels until he found the station. "Here," he said. "This is what we should be watching."
Rukia read the title at the bottom of the screen. "Scream?" She asked.
Ichigo nodded and smirked, "It's a scary movie. Think you can handle it?"
She just glared at him and answered, "Yeah, I can handle it." She watched as a girl named Sidney picked up her ringing phone. She answered and a scary voice said, "Hello, Sidney." Sidney dropped the phone and started backing away. Rukia cocked her head. It's just a phone, what's there to be scared of. Then, a man in a cloak and ghost mask crashed through the window and started lunging at Sidney with his knife. Rukia screamed and hid her face in Ichigo's chest.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? You're not scared, are you?"
She just whimpered and cried, "Please Ichigo, turn it off." She buried her face in his chest with her hands balled into fists against him.
Ichigo just stared until he saw her whimper. He turned it off and rubbed her shoulder, "There I turned it off. You can't be scared now." She looked up at him and quickly ducked back into his chest. He sighed, "Look. If you keep this up, we'll never make it to the party."
She whimpered, "But it's dark. What if the killer from 'Scream' tries to get us?"
He just sighed and picked her up, piggyback style. She quickly threw her arms around his neck. "Don't worry Rukia. The killer isn't real, and even if he was, I wouldn't let him hurt you." He assured her. She just nodded and rested her head against his shoulder. He walked out the door and they started walking to Keigo's house.
-End Chapter-
Well, that took less time for me than expected! Well it's longer and I hope more cute than the last one. Well, the next chapter's title is called, "The Party". It should be up in a few days. If not, then don't complain because it should be up soon, regardless.
Lella-Momo is out!!!
