Summary: Some of Tatsuki and and Chad's thoughts.

I don't own bleach

What Tatsuki thinks:

I've known him all my life. We were in the same Karate club when we were younger and he was a different person then than he was now or maybe he was changing back to how he was when he was younger.

When his mother was still alive he was a boy that always smiled. He would cry when I beat him but as soon as he saw his mother everything was fine and dandy again. The world was a better place for him when his mother was alive. And one day she died and the boy who always laughed and smiled was covered in gloom. Somehow it seemed like he blamed himself for her death. He used to go to the site of her death to grieve or sometimes just to wait for his mother to come back.

And the boy grew up. He was no longer the cheerful boy. His face that was once a light of sunshine was replaced by a scowl. He was still a good friend but he was awfully quiet. He had a knack for fighting and well it's not like he wanted to he just got too much attention because of his hair color and his scowl. Emotions were something he kept hidden from everyone else.

One-day things started to change. He was actually conversing with someone and somehow the emotions he never showed to anyone he was showing with no pretense to the stranger that transferred to our school.

And so he had changed. It was refreshing to see him smile again and get mad and annoyed and freaked out and even scared. He was feeling again that was certain. He was almost turning back to that boy all because of her.

It was a comfort to see that he was living again. Somehow it seemed like he found his purpose, the one he lost when his mother died he found again when she came. Even though I feel sorry for my best friend Orihime, because it would be a cause for her heartache, it would not be fair though if I blame the other girl because she wasn't exactly asking for the attention that my carrot-top friend was giving her. They just simply fit together. Ichigo and Kuchiki-san were, even if they denied it perfect for each other.

"You think it's okay if I bring my Chappy plushie when we visit home?" Kuchiki-san asked Ichigo was busy writing down the lecture on his notebook. Tatsuki was just observing the two in front of her.

"I don't care, do what ever you like just don't make me carry that blasted bunny then we're okay," he said not even looking at the petite girl right next to him.

"Of course I'll be the one to carry him. I wouldn't want your filthy hands on Chappy," she retorted.

"You don't complain when my filthy hands are around you," Ichigo muttered almost like a whisper and Tatsuki smirked at what she heard. Kuchiki-san started blushing.

"Idiot," Kuchiki-san retorted. Ichigo couldn't help but grin. And with that Tatsuki knew that her friend was actually having the time of his life with their petite raven-haired purpled eyed classmate. She noticed how they used their first names when they talk to each other and thought no one was listening. So she was right after all. 'Ichigo already found his match and it was Kuchiki-san and if she makes him happy then I'm just glad,' she thought to herself before she started on taking down her notes.

What Chad thinks:

We've been friends since the start of our school year we promised to fight for one another and true enough he had covered my back when I needed help and I have fought a long side him many times. I know nothing much about him but I know that he was one who would do anything to protect the people he loved and so I could definitely say he loved her.

No matter how many times he would say it was nothing. It was the unspoken truth that she loves her and I could say she loves him too. They're probably aware now of their own feelings because they because quite closer.

How different was his relationship with her than with anyone? For one he also saved Inoue but he was calm the whole time but when it came to her if somehow he sensed she was in trouble no matter how strong she was it did not stop him from worrying like crazy. And whoever was causing distresses for her would meet the end of his life. She was the driving force that pushed him to his limits. He would do anything for her and she would do the same for him. So they argue, they fight, she would often hit him on the head or kick him hard but at the end of the day they would walk home together and often times I would catch them walking extra close to each other. Sometimes she would lean on his shoulder and sometimes he would put his arm around her..

So maybe they won't admit it but we know that the things that were just rumors about them before were actually coming true now and I have to say I'm happy for them. Ichigo and Rukia may seem to be the weirdest couple because they are somehow the opposite each other but since I know both of them pretty well I'd say they're actually the same.

"Why did you eat the last piece of Daifuku! You know I liked it and you ate it. I saved it for later and you freakin pig, you just ate it," Rukia retorted as she hit Ichigo on the head with the empty bento box.

"I was hungry! We can get some Daifuku on the way home," he hissed back. They were on the rooftop and just finished eating their lunch. Rukia was pissed and walked towards the other side of the roof where she could see the Karakura cityscape.

Ichigo looked up and followed her with his gaze. He was left sitting with Sado and Ishida.

"What a grumpy little bitch," he muttered to himself. As he touched the lump she just gave him.

"You did eat more than half of the Daifuku," Ishida pointed out.

"Fine I'll get her a whole box when we pass by the sweets shop," Ichigo replied with annoyance. Sado didn't say anything instead handed Ichigo two juice boxes. He just looked at his friend then at Kuchiki-san.

Ichigo somehow realized what he had to do. He made his way to where she was standing. The wind was blowing to her face her hair was playfully flying around her face. Ichigo stood right behind her.

"Here drink this," Ichigo said as he poked the straw in one of the juice boxes and handed it to her. It was her favorite flavor, strawberry.

She looked at him with a raised eyebrow then took the juice box and started drinking its contents. She stared back in the view in front of them.

"Are you, still angry?" He asked her as he placed his arms around her petite waist and lowered his chin on her shoulder.

"You would be bleeding by now if I still am," Rukia replied, as she leaned on him. "You will buy me some Daifuku on our way home. I haven't forgotten about that," she added.

"As you wish," Ichigo said before he started drinking from his own juice box.

A/N: here's a little update i know it's a bit short... I kinda figured since I added some chaps on my other fic I should add one to this too... Next would most likely be either the peeps in Ichigo's house POV or the peeps in Seireitei,,, R/R.. I used Chad instead of Sado or his first name because Ichigo calls him chad so'nough explanations. thanks to chibbi pointing out that there were typos... and truly when I proof read it because I wasn't able to the first time... I've seen loads of unecessary typing errors... truly sorry for the inconvenience... I will try to be more careful next time and maybe proof read a few times to make sure that the fics are tolerably error free. and yep I'm still updating this ficcy... maybe two or three chapters more...

Vocabulary: Daifukumochi (大福餅, Daifukumochi?) daifukumochi, or Daifuku (大福, Daifuku?) daifuku in short, literally "great luck", is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi (glutinous rice cake) stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans. this is quoted from wikipedia but I truly like eating daifuku my aunt brought some from Japan and I fell in love with it... well not as much as ichigo (strawberries of course). But I read they have Ichigo flavored Daifuku so I would really love to taste that. It's safer to eat than Inoue's bean paste specials.
