Chapter 4 ~ First Encounter

.

In Karakura Palace…

.

"Ichigo-sama! Please let me dance with you!"

Twitch.

"Prince Ichigo, I'm sure you'll like our dance!"

Double twitch.

"Kurosaki-san, may I dance with you?"

Triple twitch.

"Ichigoooo! I want grandba—"

"Shut the hell up!" he growled and punched the last person talked to him, who was his own father, Isshin. "You are really a nuisance! Can't you shut up for a while?" Ichigo yelled in frustation.

"But, but…" Isshin's eyes started to water.

"You baka oya—"

"Greetings, Kurosaki-san, Kurosaki-kun…"

Isshin and Ichigo turned their head to face the happy voice's owner. A beautiful lady with orange hair and big boobs smiled at them.

"I'm Inoue Orihime. Nice to meet you." She gave a lady-like greeting and turned to Ichigo. "Kurosaki-kun, I presume?"

"Ah, yeah…" Ichigo bowed. "Nice to meet you, too, Inoue-san."

"Just call me Orihime." She smiled.

"Ehm, just Inoue will do then." Ichigo smiled a little.

"Mind to share a dance with me, Kurosaki-kun?"

"Eeto…" Ichigo rubbed his head. "I—"

"Yes!" Isshin answered, cutting Ichigo's word. "Hey! You should at least dance with several princesses! If you don't, how will you find someone fits to be your princess?" he whispered.

Ichigo let out a heavy sigh, and then he gave his hand to Inoue.

"I think a dance won't hurt."

Inoue took his hand happily and they walked to the dance floor. Isshin smiled when he saw his son started to dance.

"Yeah, that's right, Ichigo. You need to meet the wrong ones before you found your true one, so you'll really know the differences between them."

"I'm sorry, but you can't enter."

"Why!" Rukia asked. The two guards didn't let her get to the palace.

"Because the party is already starting."

"It doesn't matter! Just let me in!"

"Gomenasai, ojou-sama. But, we really can't let you enter the palace."

Rukia silenced for a while, and then she turned her back.

'Mouu! Urahara-san-tachi are already left! They are really irresponsible! It because they use that strange cat instead a horse so I arrived late here. Now, what should I do?'

Rukia gritted her teeth and walked away.

'Oh, shit. I don't know the way back home.' She stopped. 'And I won't get the Special Chappy Limited Edition if I don't dance with that orange haired-man they mentioned. Aaaahhh! Anyway, I should get in the palace! I won't let my arrival here be nothing!'

Rukia clenched her fist and looked around.

'If they don't let me enter from the front door, I'll enter the palace by myself from behind!' Rukia smirked and made her way to another illegal entrance.

"Inoue,"

"Yeah, Kurosaki-kun?"

"Will you let me excuse myself for a minute? I need to go to the restroom."

"Oh sure." She let her hands off of him. "I'll be waiting for you here." She smiled.

Ichigo didn't hear the last words. The only thing in his head is how to get out from the ballroom. Everything seemed so boring and he felt that it's not the hand he supposed to hold.

He made his way to the garden in the backyard of the palace. It was so quiet and relaxing. Ichigo sat down on the chair in the garden and stared at the moon. It shined brightly tonight. Ichigo couldn't help but smiled at himself. He liked to stare at the moon. It's so pure and somehow he felt so warm when he looked at the beauty of it.

Krsk!

His instinct snapped out when he heard something. He scanned the garden carefully.

'Could it be… thief…?' he asked himself. 'Heh, he must be so stupid to try to break in this palace. Especially when I'm going to find out. Curse your luck.' He grinned and walked slowly to the suspicious figure.

Ichigo raised his eyebrow when he saw something white climbed the wall. Since it was quite dark there, he couldn't clearly analyze that mysterious figure. He came closer to take a better look.

'What a stupid thief… He should wear black if he wants to enter this palace successfully, not as white as bunny like that.' Ichigo snickered.

"Hey!" Ichigo shouted.

"Eh?" The suspicious figure looked surprised and suddenly she lost her balance. "Uwaahhh!"

On the other hand, Ichigo didn't know why, but he ran to the mysterious person there and he tried to catch its body before it hit the land by reflexes.

Bum!

They landed to the land with a loud thud. Ichigo successfully caught the 'white-suspicious-thingy' in his hand. But, his back felt sore as he realized that he was lying on the ground right now.

"Uuh… itai…" he heard a voice grumbled. He opened his eyes just to be more surprised when he found a pair of purple eyes was on top of him, with a beautiful white dress on its owner's body. Her dress was pure white, as white as moon. Her dark short hair was arranged carefully with a white flower near her right ear.

Rukia, who just opened her eyes, was also stared at the owner of the amber eyes that had caught her from falling. Those eyes looked at her in surprise. Somehow she found that the color of those eyes were soothing, successfully made her calm.

They just stared at the others' eyes for a while and didn't say anything. Well, they couldn't say anything. They just simply amazed of how soothing it was just to stared and enjoy the silence between them.

But, they couldn't stay like that forever, could they?

AN: Huwaaaa! I can't imagine the eyesmex between them! *squeal, squeal* *fangirl mode: on* Finally they met! Hahaha… Try to listen to ichiruki duet, Glow, while reading the last scene on this chapter. They really fit perfectly! XD

Well, I didn't expect this story to be a multichapter like this. I intend to make it two or three-shots. But, it turns out this way. Hahahaha! Well, it doesn't matter. :p It seemed that I'll never succeed in making a oneshot story. T.T Sorry for having such a little Ichiruki up there. I promise there'll be a LOT in the next chapter!

Okay, what'll they do? Will they continue their eyesmex or they'll get back into the story? *okay, that's a silly question* Aah, just find it out in the next chapter! I'll be full of Ichiruki! So, stay tune minna-san! XD

Sorry for the inconvenience in reading because of my grammatical error etc etc. Thanks for everyone who review this story! I loooveeee you, guys! Please drop your review for this chapter as well, okay?

Arigatou gozaimasu and ja matta!
