Hey, thanks for the lovely reviews. I just realized that the name of the website for Ichigo's supplier didn't show up in the last chapter. Well it was called: blood needed for nuisance. com. That's why Ichigo was asking what the nuisance part was. So I was trying to be extremely subtle about the ByaRen stuff, but I think I failed. Oh yeah and did anyone read the latest chapter of bleach? Finally Ichigo and Rukia reunited! (Sorry if that was a spoiler to anyone XD)
Chapter 7 A desire
"Marvelous!" Ichigo shouted in Rukia's face, and then suddenly felt a vibration go over his whole body. His heart started thumping wildly. Then he caught a glimpse of Rukia's neck and the vibrations grew more intense. They were drawing him towards her. He needed it. Her blood.
"I-Ichigo!" Rukia gasped as Ichigo pushed her onto his bed, grabbing her wrists to hold her down. He used his teeth to rip off the top buttons of Rukia's shirt, and then lunged in for a bite. But before he could, Rukia kicked him in the stomach, causing Ichigo to fall over on to the floor. She bent down next to him, and reached into his pocket to get the blood juice box he had put in their earlier. Ichigo made a slight moaning sound, and Rukia blushed, since she felt like she was violating him or something. Nevertheless, she got the juice box out and quickly stuck the straw in and forced it in Ichigo's mouth. He drank it, and then spit it out.
"God this tastes awful!" Ichigo whined.
"S-shut up and drink it!" Rukia replied in an angry tone still a bit shaken from what just happened. Ichigo gave her a grumpy look, but finished the juice box.
"Well that was one of the most disgusting things I've ever drank in my life!" Ichigo announced and threw the juice box in the trash can. He noticed Rukia putting a scarf on. "Hey…I uh…I'm sorry about…what just happened there. I just--."
"Yeah I know." Rukia said. "It wasn't your fault…I was the one who let my guard down. You couldn't help it. But now you get what I'm saying right? What if it wasn't me who was here with you? You could have seriously hurt someone."
"But…I thought its ok to drink human's blood." Ichigo wondered.
"Yeah it is…if they let you. It's the same for everyone; you could even kill another pure blood if you forcefully drink their blood." Rukia explained.
"Does that mean I could hurt you?" Ichigo asked quickly.
"Well yes, there's always that risk. But obviously I'm much too powerful to get done in by a vampire still going through puberty!" Rukia mocked. Ichigo still gave her a serious look. "I'm telling you, I'm going to be fine Ichigo! You can't hurt me. You should be more worried about yourself. For first timers, different blood types tend to have different effects on the vampires who drink them so just be careful with those juice boxes."
"Hm, well I feel fine." Ichigo said, and stretched his arms out.
"For now…just be on guard, the effects can kick in at anytime." Rukia said. Ichigo nodded.
"Dinnertime!" The heard Yuzu call from downstairs.

Byakuya walked at a quicker pace than normal, through one of the many hallways in the vampire establishment. He was so concerned with his destination, that he barely noticed Renji walking right there and almost crashed into the red haired man.
"Ah Byakuya-san! Sorry I didn't see you there." Renji bowed.
"I was at fault for not paying attention." Byakuya said in his cool and composed way, he was about to leave, but then stopped and asked Renji, "Have you seen Rukia?"
"She left a few hours ago. To be Kurosaki Ichigo's dhampir partner." Renji explained.
"Right. Very well." Byakuya replied, and then placed a small gift wrapped box he was holding into his jacket pocket in a calm manner.
"Byakuya-san…did you want to say good bye to Rukia?" Renji asked nervously.
"It's not important now." Byakuya said coldly, and then walked away. Renji watched Byakuya walk off, and tilted his head sideways and sighed.
"Byakuya-san…"

At dinner Yuzu was serving some rice for herself and practically beaming.
"What are you so happy about?" Ichigo asked his sister.
"I'm really excited for our school trip tomorrow!" Yuzu smiled.
"Oh…that's tomorrow? Where are you guys going again?"
"We're going to a hot springs." Karin said.
"A hot springs?!" Isshin gasped. "I will not have my precious daughters revealing everything to little boys with their hormones raging!"
"Calm down Oyaji…no one said it was a mixed bath." Ichigo sighed, and then turned to Karin and Yuzu. "It isn't right?"
"No! Mou…Otou-san and Nii-chan too." Yuzu said, and Rukia giggled.
"I know just how you feel." Rukia smiled at Karin and Yuzu.
"Eh? You have overprotective family members Rukia nee-chan?"
"Yes, my older brother actually." Rukia told them.
"You have an older brother too?" Karin asked.
"Yeah, and he's always not letting me do things, because he thinks they're too dangerous." Rukia explained. She had a smile on her face while saying this, but Ichigo thought she had a sad look in her eyes.
"Ah…that's right, Byakuya didn't even come to say good bye to Rukia…she'll see Renji at school, but she won't be able to see Byakuya." Ichigo thought to himself.

After dinner, Ichigo was in his room doing his homework and sipping some AB-, when Rukia came in and opened his closet doors. She then proceeded to climb in.
"What're you doing in there?" He asked her.
"I'm going to sleep here. This way I can keep watch on you all the time." Rukia said.
"Whatever."Ichigo murmured, then picked up the blood substitute juice box. "By the way, is this stuff really human blood? If it is…I'm not looking forward to it."
"Well its probably how all blood tastes." Rukia figured.
"You're blood didn't taste like this." Ichigo said, without thinking. Rukia blushed, not knowing if that was a compliment or not.
"W-Well…what did mine taste like?" Rukia asked, while avoiding Ichigo's eyes.
"Your what?"
"My blood."
"Oh! Well…um it was…" Ichigo mumbled while ruffling through his hair with his hand. "Ah look at the time! We got school tomorrow. G' Night." Ichigo said and jumped into his bed, throwing the covers over his head. Rukia just stood there, and sighed. Then she turned off the light and went into the closet to sleep.

"Ichi-pyon! Ichi-pyon!" A voice kept pestering the sleeping Ichigo. He slowly opened his eyes to see Rukia on top of him…and she was wearing a bunny costume. No not those perverted ones…a full on mascot-like costume with just her face sticking out. She was pink and fluffy and had adorable little whiskers painted on to her small face.
"W-What the hell?!" Ichigo gasped. Rabbit Rukia climbed off him, and pulled him up. "W-w-what's going on here?! Rukia? What the hell are you wearing?!" Ichigo freaked out.
"Calm down-pyon!" Rabbit Rukia giggled. "You're so cute when you're in a panic, pyon~"
"Ok seriously! What's going on here?!"
"Well obviously this is a dream silly willy pants!" Rabbit Rukia grabbed on to Ichigo's arm. "You're so firm pyon! Ruki-pyon loves that about Ichi-pyon." Rabbit Rukia rubbed her fuzzy head on Ichigo's chest.
"W-w-w-what the hell?! S-s-stop i-it!" Ichigo blushed and tried to push Rabbit Rukia away, but she kept holding on to him. "R-Rukia! S-stop it! I-I said stop it! What kind of bunny are you?!" He yelled out, and realized he was back in his own bed, and Rukia was staring straight at him.

"So…what exactly were you dreaming about?" Rukia asked. It was about 4 in the morning, and they were both sitting on Ichigo's bed.
"Uh…w-well…I think its better I don't tell you." Ichigo answered.
"I see. Well it might have been a reaction to the AB-. Strange dreams…" Rukia figured.
"Wow Rukia, you even look beautiful when you just wake up in the morning." Ichigo suddenly said.
"W-what?!" Rukia blushed. "W-what are you saying you fool?!"
"No I'm serious." He said, then lifted her chin up and looked into her big dark eyes. "You really are the most gorgeous girl in the world." He said, in a serious tone, still looking into her eyes. Rukia was in shock. He sounded so sincere, but why was he suddenly saying this stuff? Rukia wondered. The she noticed he was moving in, expecting a kiss, so she quickly pushed him away and turned around.
"I-Ichigo! W-What's wrong with you?!" Rukia asked.
"Nothing at all. I'm just expressing my pent up emotions." He explained in a deep voice, then wrapped his arms around Rukia's waist from behind, and blew in her ear ever so softly, making Rukia become stiffer. "Oh come on now…it's not like you don't love me." Ichigo whispered in Rukia ear. Rukia didn't know how to respond to that. She could hear the beating of her own heart speed up, and Ichigo breathing in her ear, his hot breath tickled her skin. Ichigo turned Rukia around so she was facing him, and then he brushed a single strand of hair away from her face. He had an intense look on his face as he moved in closer until his lips were almost touching hers. "You won't stop me?" He asked. Rukia gulped.
"Y-You can't…Ichigo…p-please don't." Rukia had a confused almost painful look on her face, like she was forcing herself to say those words. Ichigo looked regretful, but backed away, just when Rukia realized how much she wanted to kiss him at that moment. She suddenly lost her control, and before she knew it Rukia pushed Ichigo down and wrapped her arms around Ichigo's neck, their mouths pressed together.
"Can I?" Ichigo asked through slight breaths.
"No…we're not supposed to…" Rukia tried to say, but found herself pulling off her scarf and unbuttoning her shirt. Ichigo grabbed her by the waist, and sunk his teeth into her neck. Rukia moaned as she fell backwards onto the bed, and Ichigo on top of her. He retracted his fangs and began to lick at the bloodied wound his bite left on Rukia's neck. Rukia shivered as Ichigo's warm tongue stung her blood stained skin.

The next morning, Rukia woke up to find herself in the bed she made for herself in Ichigo's closet. "W-what happened?" Rukia thought to herself as she sat up. "Was that all a dream?" She wondered, then felt the fresh mark from where Ichigo had bitten her. "No…it wasn't! I can't believe we did it again! And I-I kissed him too!" She panicked and blushed at the same time. She swung open the closet door to see Ichigo sleeping soundly in his bed as if nothing had ever happened. She walked up to him to wake him, but before she could his eyes opened slowly.
"Rukia…? That you?" Ichigo asked, drowsily.
"Y-Yeah…can you get up? We need to talk." Rukia said. Ichigo slowly sat up in his bed and yawned.
"What wrong?" He asked.
"About last night…"
Hm? Last night? What about it?" Ichigo asked, while running a hand through his messy orange hair.
"Well…I mean don't you remember what happened?"
"Uhh well I did some homework, you decided to sleep in the closet, and then that was it right?" Ichigo asked giving Rukia a puzzled look.
"You're saying you don't remember anything else?" Rukia asked.
"Hm nope not really…" Ichigo said. "Why? Did I miss something?" Rukia frowned and absent mindedly touched the bite mark on her neck. "Wait…d-did I…did I…" Ichigo stuttered, and Rukia nodded that he did. "Oh man…but how come I don't remember anything?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out." Rukia replied.
"Maybe if you tell me what exactly happened, I'll remember something." Ichigo suggested.
"…I'd rather not." Rukia tried to hide a blush, and Ichigo just gave her a confused look. "I think we should go talk to Urahara about this…" Rukia said.
"Huh? Who's—." Ichigo was about to ask, but Rukia quickly darted out of the room. He scratched his head in confusion, then shrugged it off, and went to get ready for school.
A/N
