WHATEVER! GEEZ… ANYWAY I WAS BORED SO I DICIDED TO WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER…

Ichigo woke up with the sun in his eyes. He sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He got dressed quickly and had breakfast.

"Damn it! I have to go to that stupid festival thing today…" Ichigo groaned into the emtiness of his home.

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on his door. He got and answered it. It was none other than-

Kenpachi Zaraki!

"What the- What are you doing here!" Ichigo asked him.

"Relax Ichigo. I'm not here to fight you… That'll wait for tomorrow."

"Then why the fuck are you here!?"

Pretty soon all the other captains and lieutenants showed up behind him.

"It's our day off!" Rukia said, appearing form behind Kenpachi.

Ichigo just sort of started at them.

"eh… so what do we do?"

"We're gonna g to that one place in the Human world… uhh…what's if called? The beach!" Mastumoto said.

Ichigo, again, just stared.

"Come on Ichigo! We're leaving in a couple of minutes" Rukia said pulling him out of his house.

"Hey! I don't even wanna go!" Ichigo protested as Rukia drug him across the floor.

"Too bad! I'm gonna make you!"

"Why me!" Ichigo whined.

"You work to hard Ichigo, that's why!"

"Fine! I'll go if you let go of me!" Ichigo gave in.

Rukia let go of him. Ichigo stood up and brushed of his pants. "Thank you" He said sarcastically

Pretty soon, all the captains and their lieutenants (Including Ichigo and Rukia) were on they're way to the beach in the Living World. They arrived in front of Ichigo and Rukia's old school and boarded a chartered bus.

"I can't believe you go a chartered bus." Ichigo groaned as he took the seat in the far back. Rukia took the seat beside him. The other captains spread out across the bus, and Ichigo and Rukia were relatively alone in the back.

"Ichigo?" Rukia said.

"What?" Ichigo said staring out the window.

"why didn't you ever take me to the beach when I was living at your house?"

"Cause I really don't like the beach." Ichigo whispered to her.

"Oh…" Deciding that is was one of those things he'd tell her eventually, she left him alone.

About half way down the road to the beach, Ichigo looked up to see where they were. He looked over at Rukia, only to see that she was asleep. Ichigo just watched her for a minute, than turned back to his window. He soon fell asleep himself.

Rukia woke up and found that her vision was somewhat askew. She looked around her, and found herself asleep on Ichigo's shoulder. A blush soon rose to her cheeks, thinking that he was awake and completely pissed off at her. But she found that he was asleep too.

She smiled softly, and decided that he had a comfortable shoulder and laid her back on it. She fell asleep shortly.

THE BEACH!

The bus came to a halt as they pulled into the bus turnaround at the beach. The driver let everyone off then drove off.

Ichigo stepped onto the sand in a pair of swimming trunks and a towel around his neck. He also had his typical scowl on, only it seemed much heavier at this point in time. He walked over to a deserted spot on the sand and sat down, away from everyone else.

Rukia was slightly confused as to why Ichigo wanted to sulk on his vacation time.

"Hey Rukia, relax…" Her brother said appearing out of nowhere.

"But Ichi-"

"Leave him. If he wants to sulk let him." Byakuya said walking toward the water.

Rukia shrugged and followed her brother to the water. Yahciru and Kenpachi were having a splash war; Hinamori and Mastumoto were chasing fish. Rukia smiled. She was happy to see everyone so relaxed for once. Although she felt a certain emptiness without Ichigo felling the same joy she had at the moment. She looked over at him.

He was laying on the sand, staring at the sky. His scowl was even deeper than it was then when they arrived.

She made her way to get out of the water to go see if Ichigo wanted some company. She walked over to him and looked at him.

"Oi Ichigo" She said.

"GWAHH!!" Ichigo jumped about 5 feet in the air. He looked up to see who startled him. "Oh… Hey Rukia…" Ichigo said, turning back to the sky.

"Soo… Whatcha doin?" Rukia said as she sat next to him.

"What does it look like midget?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Whatever…"

"Don't you wanna go into the water with everyone else?"

"Not really…"

"why not?"

"'Cause laying here just fine with me…"

"Really?"

"That's what I just said…"

Rukia paused for a minute. She had an idea.

"Ichigo…"

"Hmmm?"

"I'm hungry" Rukia smiled. "What do you eat on the beach?"

Ichigo sat up and stared at her "C'mon… We'll find something to eat…"

They walked up the beach to where all the little stands were. Ichigo walked up to a certain stand and got two snow cones and walked back over to Rukia. He handed her one.

She stared at it.

"It's called a snow cone." Ichigo said, taking a bite out of his.

Rukia stared at it, then licked it a couple of times. Finally she took a huge bite out of it. She looked back up at Ichigo. He was laughing slightly.

"Anything else you want?" Ichigo said.

"For you to go in the water with everyone else." Rukia smiled at him.

Ichigo sighed. "Fine…" He said, walking to the water. Rukia ran after him.

He turned around and stopped. Rukia glared at him.

"After my snow cone!" Ichigo said. Rukia laughed at him.

They both sat down on the sand and continued to eat their snow cones.
