It has been two weeks since Rukia came back. Everything returned to as it was before she left. Except all the kissing that is. Being with Rukia like this has made feel so complete. It's like I'm the luckiest guy in the world. Before I met her I didn't really paid much attention to girls and I wasn't really interested in them either. But Rukia, she's different. Sure, she smacks me and scolds me most of the time but she has helped me a lot. It was because of her that I was able to save my sisters and my friends. And whenever I lose the will to fight, she hits me so hard that my fighting spirit comes rushing back! And she makes me feel good about myself. I owe her a lot. I would not as strong as I am now if it wasn't for her. That's why this time around; I won't let another soul society incident happen again, I won't let anyone harm you. Rukia, I'll protect you.

(Kitchen)

"No! Don't do that Rukia-nee!"

"Why not, Yuzu? It won't have any flavor if I don't put this stuff in…"

"Yes but, Ichi-nii doesn't really like salty foods, and you're putting way too much salt!"

"He'll just have to deal with it."

"But… Ahh not like that Rukia-nee!"

"What are you guys doing?" I asked. I had just woken up and it was a Saturday morning.

"Oi Ichigo I made something for you!"

"Really? Wow Rukia you didn't have to……Uhh…" I stopped as I saw what she had just cooked for me. It looked like someone died on it or something.

"What's this…?"

"I made breakfast for you! Come on now Ichigo have a seat and try it!" She said as she dragged me towards the table and pushed me down on a chair.

"I'm not really that hungry Rukia…" I can't stop looking at the thing! What the hell did she cook?

"Nonsense! Here Ichigo say ahh!!!" I had no choice but to eat the damn food, whatever it was. I just hope I won't die from this…

"Well? Is it good?" Oh my god! I'm gonna die! Yuzu, seeing the expression on my face suddenly said;

"Ichi-nii, Rukia-nee woke up really early just to cook this for you!" Rukia does look like she could use a little more sleep. I don't want her to feel bad about not being a good cook. Oh well…

"This is delicious Rukia!" Maybe I'll have Yuzu give me medicine later.

"Really? Let me try!"

"N-no!" I couldn't let her taste how horrible her cooking was so I finished it all before she could even taste it. My poor, poor stomach.

"Ichigo! You didn't even let me taste it!"

"Sorry but It was just too good! Hehe…" I need to go to the bathroom to puke…

"I think I'll leave you guys alone for awhile. Call me if you need anything, Ichi-nii. I hope you'll feel better." Said Yuzu

"Why Ichigo? Are you not feeling well?"

"Not really…but…" Oh shit! I have to go to the bathroom, now!!! And with that I dashed towards the bathroom and you know…

"Ichigo? Hey Ichigo what's wrong? Are you okay?" asked Rukia as she kept on knocking at the bathroom door.

"I'm okay Rukia… Ughh…" I don't feel so good.

"It's because of the food isn't it? Seriously! I knew it tasted bad! You didn't have to finish it all just to make me happy or something…"

"Then why did you let me eat it in the first place! Ugghhh…"

"Well because I wanted to do something for you. Today's a special day after all"

"Huh?"

"It's the day we first met you dolt!"

"Oh…" I forgot about that, stupid me…

"Renji always commented that I sucked big-time in cooking. So I was thinking of doing something else. But then Yuzu told me that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, that's why I decided to cook for you Ichigo."

I never would have thought that she had it in her to do something…sweet… like this for me.

"Rukia you don't need to go through the way to my heart. You're already in there."

(Ichigo's Room)

Since I'm not really feeling well, because of the food stuff, Rukia and I were hanging out at my room.

"You're reading those Shakespeare books again Ichigo… Why do you like reading that stuff anyway?"

"If you must know, William Shakespeare was a brilliant poet and a great playwright during his times."

"Yeah but he's dead isn't he? Not that great anymore…"

Rukia, if you were someone else, I would have killed you for insulting Shakespeare like that.

"Why don't you try reading them then?"

"Nah… I might just fall asleep…"

"Hmph"

"Ne Ichigo…"

"Huh?"

"Isn't it a little weird that Hollows have not been appearing lately?"

"Isn't that a good sign? Anyway I'm not complaining. At least I can sleep peacefully at night and I have time to do my homework."

"I guess… But still! It bothers me that not even one Hollow has shown up!"

Rukia spoke to soon. Her cellphone rang.

"Is it a Hollow?"

"No, it's just a message from Renji"

"What did he say?"

"That he misses me…"

"Oh… I see."

"You jealous?"

"Why should I be? You're mine now aren't you?"

"Haha… Hey wait!"

"What?"

"Captain Ukitake wants to see me as soon as possible."

"Does that mean…?"

"I'm sure the Captain just wants to hear my report… I'll be back Ichigo…"

"Rukia wait!" I said as I grabbed her hand.

"I'm coming with you."

"Why? Ichigo I promise I'll come back!"

"You say that now but you might not come back. That's why I'm coming with you to make sure that you do come back."

"Ichigo you idiot."

"We're going home together. Okay, Rukia?"

"Of course you baka! I like it here!" and with that, we both changed into our shinigami forms and headed for Soul Society.
