Wow, this chapter didn't take me that long to write... well, not as long compared to the last few.

I've noticed that not many people review my fic anymore. If you've read this, please review. Your reviews are the things that inspire me to keep on writing. So please review!

Awkward...

could not even begin to describe the air in room.

"Er... uh..." stuttered Renji.

Tatsuki picked herself up off the floor and looked sternly at Ichigo and Rukia.

"You saw nothing here, correct?"

The two nodded in agreement.

"Good. Now if you two will kindly leave and forget everything that happened in the last five minutes, I won't have to kick your asses."

Ichigo slowly inched toward the door, with Rukia following. They continued down the hallway and to the front door, while Renji and Tatsuki were watching their every move. Once they had reached the outside, Renji slammed the door shut on them.

"Heh..."

"Heh heh..."

"Heh heh heh..."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"Ha ha ha, BWA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Ichigo and Rukia stumbled down the steps, laughing maniacally. Renji watched them through the window and was about to give them a piece of his mind when Tatsuki put her hand on his shoulder.

"We'll get them later." she snarled.

Renji just continued to scowl as his friends walked off. He would make them pay if it was the last thing he ever did.


"Oh dear lord, I swear, I've never seen anything so hilarious in my life!"

The shinigami were skipping through town like drunken idiots, giggling all the while.

"Ha ha ha, this'll make for an interesting story when we get back to Soul Society."

"I still hate myself for not bringing a camera, ha ha ha ha!"

The couple continued walking home in their drunken stupor, attracting many stares and snickers from bystanders. After a few moments of complete hilarity, the laughter died down.

"Hmm..." mumbled Ichigo as he looked at his watch.

Rukia stopped her incessant laughing and glanced over at her captain. "What is it Ichigo?"

The carrot-top continued looking at the watch and said "Oh, we've just got some time to kill before lunch. What do you wanna do?"

Rukia was a bit surprised at Ichigo for actually taking an interest in what she wanted to do.

"Are you feeling alright?" she asked supiciously.

"I'm fine, now hurry up and choose something before I do."

Rukia began scrambling her brain for possible ideas. She had let Ichigo pick a fun activity before, and it wasn't pretty.

Back in Soul Society, during Ichigo's first week as an official shinigami of the Gotei 13, he used to smash rocks with Zangetsu to pass the time.

…Fun…

He once brought Rukia along to come break rocks with him, and she ended up getting knocked out from an airborne fragment of a boulder that Ichigo had smashed.

Mind numbingly fun.

"How about over there?" Rukia said. She pointed to her left at a large park.

"Alright." Ichigo replied.

They walked across an intersection and followed a path down to a small lake. Rukia suddenly went hyper and jumped onto a lightly blushing Ichigo.

"LOOK ICHIGO! LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK!" she shouted excitedly as she waved her finger at a group of bushes.

"What, what, WHAT!?!?!?" Ichigo shouted.

"Over there!" she exclaimed.

Ichigo squinted his eyes and saw a white blur move through the leaves.

"What the hell is it?"

"What do you think, fool?"

"Hey, shut up!"

"No, you shut up! Don't scare it away!"

"What is it?"

"What do you think?"

Ichigo was about to answer when he noticed that he was holding Rukia in his arms. Blushing madly, he dropped her onto the ground, shrieking a bit. The petite shinigami landed with a light thud, causing the white apparition to disappear.

"No!" Rukia shouted.

"Psh. Whatever." Ichigo scoffed.

"Look what you did Ichigo! You scared the rabbit away!"

Ichigo got something of a "WTF?!?!" look on his face and his lips were quivering.

"A... rabbit?" he asked. "You were going psycho over a rabbit? What the hell is wrong with you and your stupid rabbit fetish!?!?"

Rukia stood up on her tiptoes to match Ichigo's height and leaned in her face towards his.

"It... is... not... a... FETISH!" she said, poking him in the chest after each word.

Rukia saw something out of the corner of her eye: the rabbit. She pushed Ichigo aside and ran after it.

"Come back! All I want to do is keep you in a cage and pet you until you die!" she shouted at the sprinting animal.

"Dammit Rukia, stop chasing after the stupid rabbit!"

Ichigo ran after Rukia, but after only the two or three steps, he tripped and fell forward, grabbing onto Rukia's shirt and dragging her down with him. A shout and a kick later, the shinigami were in the same position they were nearly a week earlier... with the exception of Ichigo's hands on Rukia's... ahem... you get the idea.

"I-Ichigo..."

The carrot-top just stayed there, hovering above Rukia. Little did the raven-haired lieutenant know that Ichigo was having the fight of his life.

"Kiss her dammit!!!" Devil Ichigo said.

"No Ichigo, that would be perverted and immoral." Angel Ichigo retorted.

"Shut up you fruity ass pansy! Don't listen to him Ichigo, just pucker up and start sucking on that face!"

"You know what, you stay the hell out of this! You bring nothing but trouble!" the angel said angrily.

"Oh, I'm sooooooo scared! Little Mr. Prissy Pants here is going to kick the crap out of me! Someone heeeeeelp!" The small devil jerked his head to face Ichigo. "Just hurry up and kiss Rukia dammit!"

"Who are you calling Prissy you red assed masochist!"

"What did you call me?!?!"

"You heard me Senor Sodomize!"

"Oh that's it, you're going DOWN!"

The two spiritual "guides" flew off of Ichigo's shoulders and started slapping each other.

"Narcissistic gaylord!"

"Pompous buffoon!"

While the sounds of war echoed throughout Ichigo's head, he moved his face ever so slowly toward Rukia's. He tried to resist, but he just couldn't help it: Rukia was just so damn beautiful. She was also damn impatient. Deciding that Ichigo was taking too long, Rukia grabbed onto his shoulders and pulled herself up, closing the gap between their lips.

Click.

Unbeknownst to the kissing couple, two shadowy figures were lurking in the bushes where the rabbit had been. Psychotic giggles and snorts could be heard coming from the dark recesses of the plants.

"I said I'd get you, and now I finally have. Lot quicker than I expected." one shadow said.

"Wow, look at them go at it." the other shadow said.

"Like a pair of wild animals..." the first shadow said.

"Even we're not this affectionate."

"Thank god, this is just creepy."


A/N: Dum, dum, dum! Ha ha. Well, sorry this chapter is so short, but schoolwork and blah blah blah. I'll try and post chapters like this because it seems I get them done faster than other ones.

Again, if you've read this, please review! My alerts have been going down a bit... and that makes me a saaaad panda.
