Authors Note: This is Rukia's POV

Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes:(

Friends

I frowned. He was doing it again. He was blaming himself for not bringing Inoue back. Doesn't he realize that its not just his fault but all of our faults?

Chad , Ishida , Renji , Ichigo and I fought so hard to bring back Inoue but we failed. Obviously Ichigo didn't get the memo saying that there's no i team.

Okay so Ichigo wasn't in one of his frenzies where he start yelling saying that it was his fault or something stupid like that. But for as long as I've known Ichigo he's tried his absolute hardest at everything he does and well right now he's supposedly doing homework. What's wrong with that you ask? Well he's been staring at one question for 20 minutes now. And if you cant tell me what 90 x 2 equals then I'll leave Ichigo alone to do his homework. But seeing as even Renji could get that I've determined that Ichigo is in the state known as melancholia.(1)

So in short Ichigo is sulking.

Ichigo lets out another sigh and begins to stare out the window to the rain that hits the pavement with a loud but short lived pitterpatter sound.

A vein on my forehead is starting pop. Danm that idiot!Stop sulking! I walk over to Ichigo and I see he's ignoring me and still watching the rain. Oh well I can fix that easily.

I tap Ichigo on the shoulder gently and when he turns his head to face me

POW!

"What the hells your problem?" Ichigo snarled at me from the ground while nursing a big lump on his head.

I was about to answer him when I saw him start to get up so I jump on him so his back is flat on the floor and I'm sitting on his stomach with each of my legs against his sides.

"Whh..at are yu..o doing" He stutters.

"Im going to explain something to you! And stop squirming" I yell at him. He stop squirming he's facing the wall with his cheeks on the floor. "Dammit Ichigo!Face me when I'm talking to you!" I put my hands on each of his cheeks and turn his head so he can look at me in the eye.

Whys his face feel so hot? Does he have a fever or something? Fever or no fever I was going to pound this through his thick skull if I had too.

"Ichigo!" I addressed him "Chad , Renji , Ishida and I are your friends! When one of us does something wrong the rest of us will comfort that person! When all of us do something wrong then we comfort eachother!Because we are friends! We have each others back! Do you understand?" He nodded vigorously. I sighed and took a deep breath all that yelling took all out of me.

I got off Ichigo and lyed down on his bed. Ichigo was for some reason taking deep breaths of air. Must be because of his flu I thought absentmindly.

That's probably why he looked like a strawberry back there when I was sitting on him.

The End

Authors Note: I noticed how in the manga how angry Rukia gets when Ichigo starts to sulk and that Rukia seems to be the only one that yells at Ichigo when he does and brings him out of his depression.

1)Melancholia - is just sorta that mood where your all sad and go all anti-social like when your really stressed out. It isnt depression but it can lead to clinical depression.
