A/N: YO! I'M BACK!
Don't mind the CAPITALS, because I'm just on a high from getting so much positive feedback/reviews! THANKS, GUYS! MWAH.
BTW, go back to the last chapter and tell me which story you want! O.O" So far only capslock-nanao has voted.
Disclaimer: No, no, no. You misunderstand. Bleach is totally mine. *struck dead by lightning*
This part is not in bold so that the message gets across. For those who skip the bold writing of course. I really need you to read this, guys! KazeNoSakura is writing an AWESOME HitsuKarin story right now, called 'Things Happen For A Reason'. It has a great story plot so GO READ AND REVIEW because she is not updating until she gets up to 100 reviews for the story and trust me, it NEEDS to be continued. It's that good. Now GO READ AND REVIEW OR I'LL STALK YOU AND YOUR MUM. Sorry, bad joke :)
Now here is the actual story!
"Damnit," I muttered. I fully blew it. Inoue knew everything by now. The wedding. The marriage. Rukia. It wouldn't take her long to figure our which Rukia it was. It wasn't really a common name. F-CK. Well, isn't that a great way to end a good date. I mean, dinner.
"Ichigo," Rukia spoke rather softly. "You didn't tell her yet?" I could tell that she was extremely curious.
I looked at her – her beautiful and curious face and her captivating purple eyes. Shit. I was really falling for her, aren't I? What the hell, Ichigo. She doesn't even know when your birthday is and you're falling for her. "No," I groaned. "She's going to figure it out soon."
Her voice turned quite harsh. "You should've told her. I told Renji the moment I knew of it."
"It's not the same for me and Inoue as it is for you and Renji-kun."
She glared at me. "Explain yourself," I rolled my eyes. We weren't even married yet and she was already controlling. Meh. Good practice, right?
"Look, you said Renji-kun was your best friend, right? But you don't feel romantically about him? Inoue isn't my best friend nor am I romantically interested in her. She throws herself at people. I just couldn't stand any more sickening 'Kurosaki-kun'!" I harshly mimicked Inoue's voice. "One more f-cking Kurosaki-kun and I would've blown my head off," I growled and looked down.
"PFFFFFT,"
Eh? I looked up to see Rukia trying to hold in her laughter.
"Why the hell are you laughing?"
"Because… pffft… that… Kurosaki-kun imitation you did was," she burst into giggles. I smiled. I would've thought she would've cracked sooner. Maybe it was the rich and posh attitude she would have to keep up around her brother. He sounded serious, at least. "You did such a funny impression!"
"Actually, it wasn't supposed to be funny," I put on a mock-frown. "It was exactly the same as her voice."
She kicked me. "Be nice," She grinned evilly and then put on the scariest voice I have heard in a long time. "Kurosaki-kun!" She sang in a schoolgirl voice. Inoue's annoying 'Kurosaki-kun' couldn't compare with it.
I was shocked. "Wh… Whaa… What the HELL was that?"
She simply smirked. "Are you alright, Ichigo? You look like you saw a ghost!"
Bitch. I glared at her. That voice was too creepy.
"Anyways," she dug into the food which the waitress just brought over. (Let's just say that she ordered for Ichigo while it was Orihime's POV)
"We still need to discuss the marriage arrangements."
I groaned. I'm starting to call it the Yachiru-style Pre-Wedding Hyperactiveness Syndrome. She DEFINITELY had it. "No more wedding plans. Just tell me how many best men I'm supposed to have and I'll leave the rest to you."
"You just need three," came her reply. I noticed she was pouting because she didn't get to discuss any more of her wedding plans. Seeing her so excited made me wonder what was so great about this wedding. She was getting married to a friend she didn't love and here she was, planning every aspect of it out. What a strange girl.
"Alright, marriage arrangements?"
"It's simple. Who's house do we move to? Yours or mine? Or do we buy a new house?" I stared at her. "What?" she asked, noticing me staring at her.
"Buy a new house?" I asked incredulously. "We're going to get divorced. Hello?"
"I told you, there wasn't that much chance of divorce," she pouted again. "If we're going to get married, we're going to act married. I wouldn't mind if you got a mistress though!" she acted cheerful again.
I chocked on my miso soup. "Whaa-?" I spluttered.
She blushed heavily. "I… I didn't mean to say that," she muttered embarrassedly.
I gave her one more incredulous stare. "Move on," I instructed. I saw her open her mouth in protest, but she seemed to consider the awkward situation and shut it again.
"What are you going to do? For employment? Since you want to make your own name?" she asked me.
"I'm still going to university. I only have another semester before I graduate. Then I'll take over Kurosaki Clinic."
"That seems reasonable," she nodded approvingly. We're not going to get married for another two months so you'll finish your semester within what…" she counted in her head. "Two and a half months within the marriage."
I nodded. "What about you?"
"I graduated my classes so I'll be staying home, wherever home is," she rolled her eyes. "Probably the typical housewife things. Cooking, clea… Wait. That depends where home is." I understood what she meant. If we were staying at Kuchiki Manor, she would have nothing to do.
"We'll figure that one later."
She ticked the things she wanted to say in her head with the visual aid of her fingers. I smirked. She was sort of cute… "Oh, Ichigo!" she said nonchalantly. "I want to meet your family and your siblings."
"Sisters. They're twins." Rukia started squealing.
"Really? How adorable! I'll have two cute sister-in-law! Will I have any brother-in-laws? I envy your family. I never had any parents or younger siblings. I only have nii-sama and nee-chan. But nee-chan died." I heard the tone of sadness seep into her voice.
I put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Hey, it's alright. My mum died a while ago in a car accident."
Her head snapped up and her eyes were alert. What the hell is with her eyes? They're like magnetic fields. So attractive. "I'm so sorry, Ichigo! I never knew my mother so I didn't have much to lose, but…"
I waved her concerns away. "It's alright. Let's just finish dinner."
The rest of the dat… dinner passed in pleasant conversation over Chappy. What the hell is Chappy?

BlackBrightField2007: OMG, do you know the only reasons I went through the pain of doing IchiHime was so they could break up and she could go mental? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! THE BLISS! THE JOY!
Capslock-nanao: You didn't wake up in time for Chapter 5 coz I put it up in the morning of Australian time. Time difference! Normally, I put my chapters up at like… 9 or 10 p.m. Meh. Can you imagine YACHIRU being related to ICHIGO? *cracks up laughing as well* Ah well. I know you hate me for writing HIme so that's why there is two chapters! Yeah. That's totally why. *shifty eyes* Yes. BAD NANAO! HOW CAN YOU THINK OF A BOMB AT THIS STAGE!
Falconrukichi: *shudder* Kurosaki Orihime. That's disgusting, isn't it? I know. ICHIRUKI will PREVAIL. Orihime still gets pwned.
Thornspike: Of course it doesn't! Hello? Ichihime is BLEURGH! XP
Moonshine: She makes EVERYONE want to gag. Seriously, I see her in the anime and immediately switch to the manga. One more sick 'Kurosaki-kun' and I'll join Ichigo in blowing my head off. *considers what she just said* JKS JKS.
Princessdoll: I know! I'm trying to make her as dumb as possible. Loads of readers is picking that up, so kudos to you all!
HigarushiAlchemist: LOL~! Talking to characters is cool. Hi-Five? No? Che. Yes, Orihime is REALLY REALLY DUMB. I'm glad you thought so because I wanted to get a laugh when Ichigo dumps her sad er… dump.
Lilly: I'm sure you know who you are because the dots on fanfiction is really pissing me off. ARGHH! Still. Try not to get too accustomed to it, dearie! It only happens on Australian Sundays. My next goal? Finish three chapters in one day! Don't hurt yourself because Hime is a dumb-dumb! Just laugh your ass off when they meet. Oh wait, you already are. =.=" LOL! I'LL TRY FOR THREE AND FOUR BUT DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP!
Roma88: WOOOH! Super long reviews rock because they make me smile! Thanks, Roma-chan! I'm glad you analysed the whole situation. Some people PM me and ask me questions relating to what I wrote. It's exhausting sometimes. I'm glad you looked into it! BTW, thanks for thinking the story is going great. Also, Ichigo and Rukia will have their moments of marriage! Like arguments. Not lemons. Yet. XP
DanceOfTheWhiteMoon: First thing first. AWESOME NAME! Is it a reference to Sode No Shirayuki or am I being Bleach-obsessed again? ^.^ Thanks for reviewing! I'm not sure what you mean by… intimately. I actually am scared of what you might mean. Or am I thinking wrong again?
Secret Starr: You'll wait next chapter for Orihime's heart to be shattered! Trust me, I haven't written it yet but I'm already gloating over Orihime's defeat. We all hate her THAT much.
WOAH. SEE HOW MANY REVIEWS? CHYEAAAAH BOY!
