My Type of Woman - Part 2
IchiXRuki
A/N: There you have it: a part two! Special thanks to those who encouraged me to make me one. I wasn't planning to in the beginning =)
Ichigo Kurosaki was doing homework at a Sunday afternoon – the very afternoon after the night of watching that romance movie which Rukia Kuchiki cried over. He clutched his pencil tightly. He stared at the blank paper with a creased forehead. A question ran though his mind. Although, Ichigo was not really doing any homework – his mind was distracted.
Who could possibly be Rukia's type? Has she considered anyone that fit the description?
The description was something Ichigo memorized even though it was only said once. He was restless at night, and unfocused at day. For example, right now. His "Edo Japan" report was due weeks ago. Ichigo had promised the teacher to have it by Monday.
Why am I even thinking about who it could be? I'm wasting my time. I should quit wondering! Ahh! Who am I kidding? I need to know! Even if he has to come through the window.
"Hey, Ichigo," a familiar voice called.
Ichigo turned his head to see Renji Abarai coming through his bedroom window. A message from the gods?! Indeed Ichigo was going crazy.
"Where's Rukia?" he asked.
Ichigo gasped quietly. R-Renji? Could it really be him…? He's tall. Plus, his hair is a unique colour of red. I think he has brown eyes… I'm not sure about that description about "strong and brave." I kicked his butt a long time ago. The last thing Rukia mentioned was if he would spend time with her through a romantic movie.
"Hello?" Renji waved his hand in front of Ichigo's face. He seemed to have zoned off.
He shook his head. "Wha-?"
"I said, 'where's Rukia?'" he repeated. "You were off to your own messed up world for a sec. Are you feeling okay?"
The curious Substitute Shinigami glared suspiciously. Rukia was in Inoue's house, simply dealing with a school project. He would never tell Renji that without his explanation. "Would you be willing to watch a romance movie with her?"
Renji was confused. "Mo…vies? What's that? Is she doing whatever 'movies' is? Then I guess I would," he asked.
Ichigo forgot he was all new to this technology here in the World of the Living. "Well, it's something you can watch on television or a special screen. Like a show, but it's not live. Get that?" he hated explaining these things to Shinigami visitors who came to tag along with him, so he explained it like he would to a five year-old.
He hesitated to answer. "Y-Yeah. So a 'romance movie' is when you can watch couples… making out and doing stuff like that?"
"Pretty much." He shrugged.
"Yuck! That's disgusting! I'm not going to look for her anymore. I'll stay here until she comes."
Got ya' Renji. You can't be Rukia's type anymore.
Renji frowned. "What's with that grin on your face?" he asked.
"Nothing." He turned back to his report.
* * *
Ichigo couldn't take Renji looking over his shoulder to watch him complete his homework. Questions were thrown at him. It would have been a wiser decision to tell him to go back to the Soul Society instead of sticking around here…
"Interesting. So this is what happened to this world while I was in the Soul Society as a trainee?" he commented, breathing in Ichigo's ear.
The orange-haired Shinigami couldn't take it anymore. "Damn it, Renji. Will you stop doing that?!"
"Do what?!" Renji shrieked.
"Breathing in my freaking ear! Quit asking questions too!" he shouted at him.
"Jeez." Renji took a step back. Then he crossed his arms in front of him. "You seriously need a girlfriend or something instead of wasting an afternoon doing a report for 'school.'"
He was taken by surprise. "A g-girlfriend?!" he sounded too panicked.
"That's what you call it here right?"
"Yeah, but…"
Renji drew his eyebrows together. "Don't tell me you already have one! Ah… Ruki-" he stopped himself before saying anything else.
Ichigo spun his chair around until he was facing Renji. "Rukia's what? You were about to say something." He was curious all over again. Would Rukia be mad if I had a girlfriend? Is that what he was about to say?
Renji gulped. "Uh… n-never mind!" he stuttered.
He pursed his lips and squinted. "Alright…" Ichigo also knew that Renji was a bad liar. Wrong decision trusting Renji, Rukia.
He had a plan. "Oh, yeah! She told me about that."
"She did?!" Renji exclaimed. "Weird… she told me that she would never reveal that she likes you."
Ichigo's heart skipped a beat. A current ran through his veins. It makes sense now! I'm her type! Tall, unique hair colour, brown eyes… and I especially like the strong and brave part.
"Since when did she like me? Rukia never mentioned it… when she told me… because it's not a lie… I wouldn't lie to you." Ichigo was struggling with his charade. His mind was whirling with all this information.
The crimson-haired Shinigami raised an eyebrow. "Right… I'm not sure. She admitted it to me after you saved her from her execution - which was pretty long ago if you think about it."
That long?
"When did Rukia tell you?"
Crap. "Last week," he thought quickly.
"So tell me that you don't have a girlfriend, Ichigo. That would ruin her if you did," he said.
"I don't," I confirmed.
"Then what are you waiting for?! You like her right? Why don't you tell her that?"
"Like her?" He snickered, mostly because he didn't like her…
He loves her.
He rolled his eyes. "It's quite obvious."
"How so?"
"You bought her a Chappy the Bunny stuffed-toy for your human event called 'Valentines!' You two always see the sunset everyday on your rooftop! When you guys have a specific conversation alone, she giggles and you blush!" he listed.
Ichigo blinked twice. Renji was correct. They did do that. "You're right, Renji!" he stood up from his chair and stated it. "Although, that's very rare… but you are!" he added.
Renji's eye twitched. He ignored that. "When Rukia arrives, you're going to tell her. Correct?"
"Yes, I will!"
A/N: Hmm… there's going to be a Part 3 for this! This time, what Rukia's doing at Orihime's house… Time to start planning! Review please!
