Chapter 4: An Awkward Affair
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach!!
Rukia quickly scampered up using all the power she had left, ending up with her upper body in Ichigo's room and the lower half of her body dangling out the window.
Ichigo pulled her up a little too hard, resulting in him somehow on top of her on the hard wooden floor.
"Uh…sorry," Rukia blushed.
Ichigo grinned, "Dope," and kissed her.
Suddenly…the door opened.
"Oh my God!"
"Err…"
"Ichigo? And this…lovely young lady?"
"I-I can explain! I was trying to pull her up from the window and she—"
"Ichigo fell on top of me! It's nothing!"
"Whatever you say," smirked Isshin, "I just came up to tell you it was dinner time," as he walked out the door.
"Yuzu! Karin! Guess what I saw your brother doing just now...! I KNEW he had a girl over!" could be heard from the room. Isshin was singing it and the whole wide world would find out soon.
Rukia and Ichigo stared at each other and an awkward silence suddenly filled the room. Rukia burst into laughter, "ha-ha-ha, Ichigo! I can't believe that just happened!"
"Shut up, Rukia. Now I have to face the humility downstairs during dinner," mumbled Ichigo.
"Oi, Ichigo! Tell the young lady she can have dinner with us if she wants! We want to get to know her!"
"Ha! Now you have to bear through it with me," taunted Ichigo.
Rukia sighed, before following Ichigo downstairs.
"Hi, Mr. Kurosaki. I'm Kuchiki Rukia, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," Rukia pleasantly introduced herself.
"Haha, no need for the formalities. Just call me Isshin. Yes, we finally meet each other properly…if you get what I mean," laughed Isshin.
"Dad!"
Ichigo sent a glare at his father and he instantly be quiet.
"Rukia, tell me about yourself. You seem to be a lovely young lady."
Rukia stammered, "Oh, I'm interested in sword-fighting. Which might seem a bit strange. I love school, and practice martial arts."
"Tell me, what is a talented female like you doing with some nuthead like my son?"
Ichigo interfered, immediately asking, "Whoa! What's that supposed to mean, you old man?"
Dinner was quite the awkward affair. Thankfully, it ended soon and Rukia returned to Ichigo's room to "finish up homework"
"Haha, sure, Rukia. It was great to see you. I hope to see you around more often!"
