After the sad visit to Urahara's, Rukia and Ichigo left for home to sleep.

(Next morning)

Relaxed in bed, wrapped in one another's arms, it was like being in a trance until…

"IIIIICCCHHHIIGGOOO!" his father flew right into the room bouncing up and down on the bed where the couple lied.

"Dammit old man I swear I'll rip you to shreds." Ichigo took notice that his father wasn't in his uniform for work, but yet he's dressed to go out.

"Now, now my son no need to be all down and moody, after all today is a perfect day to go out for a family picnic."

Ichigo just made an annoyed, lazy type face, thinking his father had finally lost it.

"You're insane" his last comment as he continued his sleep with Rukia.

"Oh come on son, it's going to be fun and Rukia's never spent time with the family before I think it would be great if she did." His father grinned.

"ERR" Ichigo growled in annoyance. But Rukia eased his temper. "A picnic sounds like a good idea Ichigo, we should go."

Ichigo groaned in defeat as he stuffed his face further into the pillow. "Fine, go get ready."

Ichigo's father cheered as the twins joined in and cheered along with him, well except for Karin she just stood there and rolled her eyes.

(At the park)

Rukia was dressed in a beautiful, white sundress that not only suited her style, but also suited her tiny figure. Ichigo wore jeans, a shirt and a blue jacket over his shirt.

The family sat their selves under a huge Sakura tree within the park and they all are enjoying their delicious Bento, specially made by Yuzu.

Ichigo took this opportunity to play soccer with Karin since he's never had the time to do anything with his sisters. Yuzu played along only to make sure no one get's injured after all she's always playing 'the motherly' role. While the siblings were bonding, Rukia was sitting next to Isshin, enjoying the view of Ichigo and his twin sisters running around and play. Rukia watched Ichigo the whole time, his smile that he had on his face was her most favorite view of him. It never fails to make her happy when she see's Ichigo grin like that.

"You know I haven't seen him smile like that since…" Rukia looked over to Isshin to hear what he was about to finish. "Masaki, his mother died." Isshin just kept on looking at his son enjoying the look on his face.

"And this family has you to thank for it Rukia." Rukia blushes, she never thought she did anything for this family.

"Well, I don't think I'm fully responsible for his happiness, I mean he has a loving family and friends, no wonder he's so happy."

Isshin just shook his head in disagreement. "No, you have everything to do with his contentment, before you he was always depressed, grumpy and just in a bad mood all the time."

Rukia smiled a bit and giggled a bit at what Isshin just said. "With all due respect Mr. Kurosaki but that's just Ichigo in general." Isshin also laughed along with her.

Haha yes that's true but, he's never even taken the time to spend occasions with us, his own family anymore. But as you can see right now, you've changed all that and I must thank you for that."

This only made Rukia blush even more.

"Please don't ever leave this family, I don't think this family could handle it, heck my knuckle headed son won't be able to cooperate with it." Rukia only grinned and nodded in agreement.

(Dessert time)

Everyone was sitting down enjoying their favorite flavored ice cream. Although the family was together, Ichigo and Rukia decided to sit a little bit further away from the family, just for some private time. But they were still viewable to the family's nosey eyes.

Ichigo sat down next to Rukia facing her from the opposite side of her as she was also in the same position as him. They decided to share their Ice cream since they both wanted chocolate. Rukia was basically feeding herself and Ichigo as well, after all, the guy can be lazy at times. But hey Rukia knows that he needs to be catered to ever once in a while. While she was feeding Ichigo, he quickly took this chance to lean forward and give Rukia a quick kiss. This of course only made Rukia smile and blush.

"What was that for?"

"Do I have to give you a reason every time I want to kiss you?" Rukia only smirked at his comment.

(Family point of view)

"AWW Kawaii!" Yuzu screamed out as she watched Ichigo kiss Rukia.

"Yuck, I'm ok that they're going out but can't they keep urges private?"

"Haha, now Karin you brothers a man now and it going to be hard for him to control his urges." Isshin grinned at the view of his son. 'Pretty soon now I'll have a grandchild' Isshin became teary with joy.

(Ichiruki point of view)

"You know, your father was talking to me about you." She said while feeding him.

"Really? What did the old man say about me this time?"

"Nothing much, he was just saying how miserable your life was before me." She grinned with pride.

"Are you kidding, you kick me, hit me, yell at me and you're always bitching. If you ask me I'm miserable even when I'm with you he joked." Rukia became furious and took her scoop of ice cream and scrapped it on his nose. Ichigo got mad while Rukia took this time to run off laughing. She ran behind a tree to create a barrier between her and Ichigo. This didn't stop Ichigo though, he took her arm and pinned her down to the ground but Rukia wasn't going to let him win that easy.

"Yuzu, Karin quick help me" She yelled over to the two girls as she was being pinned down. Yuzu and Karin quickly ran towards Ichigo and Rukia. Karin quickly gave Ichigo a foot ball tackle, while Yuzu helped Karin pin their brother down. Rukia took this opportunity to tickle the hell out of Ichigo, making sure he gets the torture he deserves.

"Come on take it back," Rukia yelled as she was tickling Ichigo in his well known areas that make him squeal. Ichigo kept cracking up, trying as best as he can not to give in to her. But you know Rukia always wins.

"Haha, alright I'm miserable without you ok now stop." He said while giggling. After Rukia heard him admit that he was wrong she got off of him and had the girls release his arms. But then in came Isshin flying from the sky, diving down to his son.

"My turn" Ichigo quickly lifted up one of his legs and knocked him in the spot where it makes his father sing the sopranos.

(After park)

After a fun day at the park with the family, Rukia and Ichigo decided to spend the rest of the day with each other in his room.

Rukia was sitting on his bed resting her head against the bed board, while Ichigo on the other hand was resting Rukia's lap with a note pad and pen in his hands. Ichigo decided it was best to start writing something for their project in school, after all it's in a month from now and they also need to rehears it before they go in and record. But Ichigo was having a difficult time lettering some lyrics. Actually, it wasn't a problem for him writing them, it was more of a problem writing the right thing for Rukia to sing. He ripped out page after page of lyrics that he started with. Rukia took one of his pages and started reading them and then another, she was amazed at how beautiful and deep he can be.

"Ichigo, these lyrics you're throwing out sound fine, why don't you use these?"

"Because, I want to write something that you can sing about, I mean these songs sounds like something a guy would sing to a girl."

"Well you are a guy and apparently you are dedicating these to a girl, and it better be me."Rukia grinned as she quickly tapped his nose with one of the lyrics.

"Of course they're about you idiot," He smiled back at her. He started writing again and continued to rip out the page.

Rukia took that page and read

'There's someone out there for me,

I know she's waiting so patiently,

Can you tell me her name?

This life long search is going to drive me insane.

How does she laugh, how does she cry?

What's the color of her eyes?

Does she even realize I'm here?

Where is she, where is she?

Where is this beautiful girl?

Who is she, who is she?

Who's gonna complete my world?

Where is she, where is she?

Where is this beautiful girl?

Who is she, who is she?

Who's gonna complete my world?'

And that's where it stopped, which made Rukia a bit mad because she liked the sound of the lyrics. She quickly swiped the pen from Ichigo's hands and continued the lyrics.

'I'm staring out at the sky,' she stopped to quickly think of something else to write. Ichigo took a look at what she wrote and smiled. Seeing that she was being trouble a bit, he quickly wrote something in between to give her some time.

'(I see you baby)' Rukia giggled and followed on what she wrote.

'Praying that he will walk in my life.

Where is the man of my dreams?

I'll wait forever how silly it seems.

How does he laugh?

How does he cry?

What's the color of his eyes?

Does he even realize I'm here?'

Rukia and Ichigo continued writing, till they finished the duet. After they were finished, they took pride into what they wrote and were very happy of their song they wrote together.

"This would be a perfect song right here." Rukia pointed out as she looked through the lyrics. Ichigo cuddled next to her and smiled in agreement.

"Yeah, it would be," Ichigo kissed her cheek. "But too bad we're not doing a duet." Ichigo said bluntly taking Rukia by surprise.

"What are you talking about, you can sing with me."

"Sorry, I don't sing, never have, never will." Rukia only pouted and crossed her arms.

"What was the point in writing this than?" She said as she tossed the lyrics to Ichigo.

"For fun and something for us to look back on." Ichigo grinned.

Rukia also smiled and thought back to school.

"You know you never got to finish what you started at school." She said seductively.

With this said, he quickly leaned it and kissed her. He tried to surprise her by swiftly pinning her down on the bed and it worked.

"So do you want to finish than?" He asked as he leaned in for another kiss. But Rukia quickly placed her fingers on his lips to stop him.

"Love to but I need a shower," She said bluntly as she got out of bed and went to the door. As she was opening the door she turned around and said. "And I think you need one too because you stink." She grinned and ran for the showers. Having Ichigo follow her after what she said.
