Me: trying to forget that!

Renji: and started shooting at him…

Me: (covers ears) lalalalalala!!!!

Emily: um…yeah…story time!

Chapter 10: Dancing with fire

Renji stood slouched against the brick walls of the school. Ever since he picked up this "rebel" attitude he was barely going to class. His parents couldn't handle him, so this is what he did. As he stood he over heard two girls talking.

"Did you hear about Kuchiki-san and Kurosaki-kun?" One girl said

"I know! I think it's so nice their going to the dance together!" The other squealed

"They are so cute together!" The girls giggled

Renji scoffed and spat on the ground. Rukia and Kurosaki cute? BAH! Maybe he didn't deserve her but Ichigo definitely didn't. All the sudden Renji was mad; he needed something to take it out on. As he searched for something to stomp on he saw a group of guys spray painting the other end. He smirked and walked up towards them. The one who looked like the leader stopped and stepped forward looking at Renji.

"Mind if I join you?" The leader smirked.

"MOVIE NIGHT!!!" Isshin hollered popping running into Ichigo's room with two idiotic movies.

"Dad, I'm going to the dance remember?" Isshin started to grin

"You're actually going!!?!?!?! OH my son! You got a date didn't you!!!!!" Ichigo frowned as he nodded "Wait here!" Isshin zoomed out of the room and rummaged through his closet only to pull out his favorite suit.

Ichigo grimaced at the bright blue tux that his father claimed to woo Ichigo's mother in at their school dance. Ichigo's frown deepened ten times its usual degree.

"Okay dad, 1: That suit is 1,000 years old 2: It's a blue tux and Rukia told me she's wearing gold, and 3: it's ugly" Isshin's face dropped as he started to cry

"But Ichigo!!!! I wore it to MY dance!!!!"

"Yeah in the stone age!!!" Ichigo hollered pushing the suit away "besides I already got one!!" Isshin stepped back whimpering

"Fine!" he scampered out of the room.

5 minutes later Ichigo stood in the mirror straitening his tie. He wore a normal black tux and a gold tie. Ichigo looked at himself in the mirror, dare I say, checking him self out. Still, Ichigo really didn't do the formal thing so was a little bit self conscious.

"Ichi-nii?" Ichigo turned to see Karin and Yuzu standing in his doorway. Yuzu smiled sweetly "You look very nice"

"Yeah" Karin chimed in with a half smile. Ichigo gave a smile, which only his family saw, patting them both on the head and heading down the stairs.

"Ichigo!" Isshin said running over towards him

"For the last time I'm not wearing that suit!!" Ichigo yelled the vain throbbing in his head

"No" Isshin said serious patting Ichigo on the back "I want you to take the car" Isshin dropped the keys into Ichigo's hand. Ichigo looked up surprised.

"T-thanks dad, really" Isshin nodded and sat back on the couch

"Oh and if you get lucky use protec-" Ichigo slammed the door behind him making sure to pretend he didn't know how that sentence ended.

Rukia ran around frantically looking for her other shoe. She was madly throwing things across the room. She was in total panic mode. Then she heard a knock on the door and started internally screaming. Ichigo was here and she couldn't find her shoe.

Ichigo fiddled with his fingers nervously as he sat on the Kuchiki couch. Byakuya sat across from him examining his every move. Total father and daughters date situation right? Ichigo was seriously not equipped for this.

"So…" Ichigo tried to start a conversation

"Aren't you the young man who fought Renji?" Byakuya interrupted putting Ichigo on the spot

"Well…yeah, but…Err…ya see…"

"And Rukia got hurt saving your butt" Byakuya interrupted again. Ichigo frowned

"Wait a second what?"

"Rukia got in the middle of you two and got pushed up against the locker, hitting her face" Ichigo's eyes got wide.

"Is that what she told you? Renji's the one who-"

"I'm ready!" Ichigo and Byakuya looked up towards the stairs where Rukia stood. If Ichigo's eyes could get any bigger they would've popped out of the sockets. Rukia was absolutely gorgeous. The dress fit her every curve and the color made her stand out. She had orange eye shadow on with gold shimmer and the slightest of clear lip gloss to make her lips shiny. To top it all off, a small gold purse that hung from her shoulder. Rukia came down and hugged Byakuya and then stood in front of Ichigo smiling.

"Y-you look" Ichigo blinked "really nice…" She blushed

"Why thank you Ichigo! Now we have to get going if were walking" She grabbed his hand

"Oh no, I have my dads car" he said proudly

"Oh good! I wasn't sure if I would survive walking in these heels" Ichigo looked down to see Rukia did indeed have on heels, and they looked nice on her small feet.

"Bye Nii-sama!"

"Remember Rukia, I might not be here tonight when you get back!" he waved as they walked to the car. She nodded and waved one last time as Ichigo started up and the car and drove away.

"You look so nice Kuchiki-Chan!" Orihime said hugging her. Ichigo had stepped over chatting with his "friends" and Rukia made her way towards hers.

"Thanks, you too" The music was fast paced and everyone was on the dance floor (except Chad and Ichigo of course) dancing the night away. Usually the girls were with the girls and guys with guys until someone decided to throw on a slow jam, but Rukia wanted to dance with her date.

"Come on Ichigo!" his pulled his hand.

"What? Why?" he wasn't using any strength to stay put but Rukia was using all her might pulling him.

"I want to dance with you!" She pulled harder.

"Err…okay" Rukia let him go and blinked. She had down all that pulling for nothing.

They made their way to the dance floor and Rukia took the lead. To her surprise, Ichigo was a pretty good dancer. They danced for a while until of course, a slow song came on. Rukia smiled as he made the first move in taking her hand. She placed her hand on his shoulder and he delicately placed his on her waist.

"This is really nice" She said softly as they swayed back and forth to the beat

"Yeah…" he breathed in as she laid her head on his chest. She closed her eyes and listened to the rhythm of Ichigo's beating heart. He looked down at the raven haired girl and nuzzled her head under his chin. Rukia blushed at his sudden move and looked up at him. Ichigo blinked as she looked into his eyes. She seemed to be searching for something, but all she could find was a mystery in those brown orbs. He smirked at the curios look on her face as she searched. He knelt down to her ear and whispered.

"You're never going to find anything, unless you ask" he said slyly. He came up from her ear slightly and her face flustered from how close they were. Her heart sped up as she felt his shaky breath on her mouth. Ichigo was feeling rather bold this evening. He leaned in slowly, taking one last breath before bringing their lips together in a soft sweet kiss. Rukia's hands went around his neck as she tilted her head for more access. And even with the heels she was still on her tip-toes. Ichigo held her waist tightly as her hand tangled in his hair. The kiss lasted for what seemed like eternity, until the slow song stopped and they broke apart taking in air.

"ALRIGHT!!" They heard Matsumoto yell clapping.

"Finally!" Tatsuki yelled too. They both laughed at her friend's loudness. Soon after everyone started clapping when they realized what happened. Keigo on the other hand, cried.

"Alright everyone!" The class president said into the microphone on stage "Time for king and queen!!" Everyone clapped and cheered. "And the winners are…" A student brought up the envelope and she ripped it open excited. "Inoue Orihime and Ishida Uryuu!" she yelled and everyone turned to them clapping. Ishida pushed up his glasses surprised and Orihime squealed happily. She pulled him on stage and they placed the crowns on their heads. Orihime grabbed Ishida's face and brought their faces together in a celebratory kiss. Pulling away Orihime grabbed the flowers and waved to everyone running off stage. Ishida on the other hand was dumbstruck and was lead off stage like a pup. Ichigo chuckled and Rukia giggled. She looked at him tenderly before intertwining their fingers together.

Rukia stepped up to her door and turned back to Ichigo.

"I had fun tonight" She said softly. He smirked

"Me too" She blushed slightly as they leaned in for the good nights kiss when Ichigo remembered something very important as he opened his eyes.

"Rukia?"

She pulled away "Yes?"

"Why didn't you tell your brother what really happened" he raised his eyebrow. She froze.

"Err…well, I guess it slipped my mind" Ichigo's face turned serious

"Things like that don't just slip your mind Rukia"

"Really Ichigo it's not that big of a deal" he frowned

"It is that big of a deal Rukia!" he semi-yelled, his eyes full of concern. She frowned back.

"Look Ichigo if I choose not to tell my brother that's none of your business!"

"It is too my business!" he shouted. They were getting heated now.

"Don't yell at me!"

"You yelled at me!!"

"Well maybe if you would mind your own business I wouldn't have to yell!!"

"Well maybe if you told the truth once in a while I wouldn't have to get involved!!!" He retorted. She glared at him and he glared back, and some how they ended up kissing on her couch. When I say kissing, I mean full fledged making out here. Didn't he say she looked cute when she was angry? Unfortunately, they had to stop due to a certain brother coming in at the wrong time, in true teen movie clique fashion. Rukia quickly sat up and wiped her mouth. Ichigo stood cautiously as Byakuya eyed him.

"Err…um, I-I'll see you tomorrow Rukia" She nodded and Ichigo slid past Byakuya out the door and ran to his car. He was afraid Byakuya would try to kill him outside.

Slamming the door Byakuya stepped into the room and looked at her.

"Nii-sama I-" he made one of those 'I don't want to hear it' faces and went up the stairs to his room. Rukia sighed and went to her room too. She flopped on her bed kicking off her shoes and grabbing her song notebook. Grabbing a pen, she began to write furiously with the biggest smile on her face.

Me: Hope you liked it!!!! They finally kissed!!!!!!!! MUWAHAHAHA!

Rukia :(blushing) wow! We made out…

Emily: Wasn't it awesome?

Rukia: (blushes more)

Ichigo: (comes in) wanna do it again? (smirks)

Me: Okay I'm gonna start on 11 now so BYE!!!!

Emily: seeya! (makes peace sign)
