Okay I know that I haven't updated in like forever and I don't really have any excuse at all but I really am sorry! My little sister has been yelling at me to update so I finally sat down and wrote the next chapter!

So here it is and I hope that you all enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing :( even though I wish I did!

Rukia stared at him for a moment trying to register what he had just asked.

"your asking me… to go out with you?" she asked him completely dumbstruck.

"Never mind…" he said, "it was a stupid thing to ask, I will be leaving now." He turned and started to head for the door but stopped when he heard someone call out his name.

"Ichigo, you fool!"

"What?" he asked in disbelief

"When you ask a girl out you don't just walk away. You wait for her answer."

"I already know what your answer is, so that is why I am leaving."

"Idiot! I never told you what my answer was. Did you think I was going to say no?"

"Yea, you didn't say anything about saying yes."

"Well now I am! Yes, Ichigo, I will go on a date with you."

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"I will be here to pick you up at 7!"

"The shop doesn't even close until 10!"

"Have that white haired kid close for you!"

"Okay, fine, I will!" she snarled "I will see you at 7!" and she turned and waked strait for the kitchen

"Fine!" he yelled back to her.

"Fine!" she yelled to him even though he could barely hear her because she was already in the kitchen.

Ichigo smiled to himself. He actually got her to go on a date with him. The entire time that they were yelling at each other he was smiling inside, because every moment that he spent with her, no matter what they were doing, he was the happiest person on this planet.

He looked over at the kitchen door again and saw her walk past the window, he smiled to himself again already excited for tonight. He then grabbed his things and walked out of the café.

Rukia looked out the kitchen door window and saw him leave. She would never admit it but she was actually excited for tonight.

"Toushrio." She said still looking out the window "could you close the café for me tonight?"

"Yea… is something wrong?"

She turned to him "why would something be wrong?"

"Well because you said that you would only need me to close up if there was something wrong."

"Oh… no, nothing is wrong, I just…"

"You have a date don't you?"

"What?"

"Oh come on Rukia, you guys were yelling at each other, Momo and I heard the whole thing."

"Then why did you ask if something was wrong?"

"I wanted to try and avoid telling you that I heard everything."

"Okay… and thank you for closing tonight, even though I told you that you wouldn't have to close very often."

"Your welcome." He said "why don't you go home right now and get ready?"

"What? No I am fine." She said giving him a look that saying that she didn't want an argument.

"Rukia, look at yourself! Your hair is a mess, you didn't put make-up on today, and you are completely covered in flour! Go home and take a bath, then you can be back here for Ichigo to pick you up."

"I look fine! He doesn't need me to look my best."

"Rukia!" he said shooting her the same look that she had just given him a moment ago, "Go home and clean yourself up… NOW!"

**XXX**

Rukia sat in her room looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a purple sweater-dress with black leggings and knee high black boots with buckles on the side and had about a 3 inch heal.

"Okay, I think I am ready." She said turning her head and looking at the clock, "It's 6:30 right now so I have enough time to get back to the café and wait for Ichigo."

She looked at herself in the mirror again and sighed, "I don't see why I am even trying to look good, it's just Ichigo."

She walked over and grabbed her coat and keys and started to walk over to the café.

When she got there she saw Ichigo already waiting inside for her.

'It isn't 7 yet is it?' she thought as she looked at her watch and it said 6:42pm. 'Why is he here so early?' She thought walking over to the door. When she opened it she felt a wave of heat and the smell coffee and candy-cane cake wash over her. She smiled to herself happy with the warm familiar feeling she got walking into her café.

"Ichigo!" she said when she got over to where he was sitting, "Why are you here so early?"

Ichigo looked at her for a minute before answering, "I found that girls don't like it if you are late, so I made it a point to always come about 15 minutes early."

She stared at him dumbfounded, Ichigo kept on surprising her; first it was playing guitar, second asking her out and now always being early to a date? He really did seem like the perfect guy, so why did it seam like there was always something bugging him?

"So… are you ready to go?" he asked bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Y-yea."

"Hey! Is something bothering you? You kinda spaced out for a second there."

"Fool! Why would there be something bothering me?"

"Sorry! You just didn't look your self."

Rukia look at him and sighed "I'm fine. Lets go." She said and started to walk out of the café and back into the cold weather.

They walked for a moment in silence before Rukia couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

"So… where are we going?" she asked turning her head and looking at him.

"Cant tell!" he answered with a smirk, "It's a secret."

"Wha-" she said in disbelief "No! I don't like surprises!"

Ichigo laughed "don't worry, it's not that bad!"

"Ichigo!"

"Yes, Rukia?" he asked still smiling

"Tell me where we are going!"

"You will see in a minute."

She glared at him until she realized it was getting her nowhere "Fine." She said "But don't ever do this to me again! Okay?"

"Oh are you saying that I will get another date after this one?" his smile grew

"How did you ever get that idea?"

"Well you said 'never do that again' implying that we will go on another date!"

"Well we will just have to see how this all works out, then I will decide if I will give you a second chance or not."

"Well now I know that I at least have a chance because you said that you haven't made up your mind yet. So I will just have to be amazing for you!"

She looked up at him and saw that he was still smiling at her. She rolled her eyes and grabbed his wrist, "Well then… start working! Amaze me!" she said, her eyes challenging him.

His smile grew again "Oh I will! Just you wait my sweet little Rukia! You will be so amazed you will love me by the end of our date!"

"Show me!" she said, a wide smile on her face now.

All he did was smile wider in answer as he took her hand and started to run to where ever they were going. It took a moment for Rukia to realize what he was doing but once she did she started to run faster than him.

Ichigo saw her getting in front of him and laughed "Oh no! I am the one who knows where we are going so I get to lead!" and started to run faster

Rukia was trying to hold her laughter in but couldn't any longer, and was soon almost in tears from laughing so hard as thy raced, and all the while they were holding each others hand.

When they were about to turn the last corner Ichigo stopped them, and they both fell on the ground laughing and breathing hard.

"So… have you been amazed yet?" Ichigo asked her still laughing

"Not yet strawberry" she said smiling at him, "Your still going to have to do better than this."

"It's going to get better!" he said smiling back at her.

When they could breath again they got up and Rukia started to walk again but stopped when Ichigo grabbed her arm.

"What?" she asked.

"Close your eyes"

"What? No, I am not going to close my eyes!"

"Okay then I will just blindfold you."

"No! you cant do that eather"

"Well it is one or the other, so pick!"

"Fine I will close my eyes, BUT you are never doing this to me again!" she looked over and saw his smile grow and then added "And no I was not suggesting that you are going to get another date."

"Okay, Okay" Ichigo laughed "just close your eyes already"

"Fine" She said facing forward and closing her eyes.

Ichigo grabbed her hand and guided her around the corner and headed strait for the perfect spot.

When Rukia opened her eyes she let out a gasp "wow" was all that she could think of to say.

In front of her was an ice-skating rink with strings of lights all over the ice. The lights over the top of the rink came together in the middle and were held up by a pole that was decorated like a Christmas tree. When they got closer Rukia saw that there was a red carpet leading up to a table, next to the tree, covered in white cloth and two red candles.

"How-… you-…" she stuttered

Ichigo just laughed "what is it that you want to know?"

"How did you get enough money to pay for this?"

"Well, lets just say that an old friend helped me out."

She stared at him for a moment before smiling, "you know, most guys don't go all out on a first date like this."

"Well I guess I'm not most guys, am I?" he said with a smirk, "and plus I knew that I was going to have to try hard to impress you."

"Well you are getting there" she said smiling

Ichigo looked at her and smiled again "Well then Ms. Rukia, may I take you to your seat?" he said holding out his had.

"Yes you may." She said putting her hand in his as he guided her down the carpet.
