Chapter 10

Welcome Home

The six weeks with Orihime past by like the wind, Rukia was so thank full that Orihime got the raven haired female's mind off her boyfriend for a while.

In the past weeks, they slept at each other's places, went on little trips and went out camping. At home the petite female checked her calendar, it was already the 29th July, and Ichigo would be home tomorrow.

Her heart started to beat faster, thinking about seeing Ichigo again and hugging him. Footsteps approached the kitchen, as Hisana leaned against the door frame.

"What's wrong?" Hisana questioned the petite female who was in deep thought.

"Oh not much, Ichigo will be back home tomorrow." Rukia explained smiling.

"I see." Hisana returned a smile, as she held the basket of clothing on the side of her waist.

"It would be nice if Ichigo-san visited us again." Byakuya fiancée commented as she walked into the washing room.

Rukia sighed, and walked upstairs into her room, letting her petite form fall on the bed behind her. She closed her eyes, enjoying the moment of peace.

"He's coming back home..." Rukia thought in her mind, as tears rolled down her face in joy.

The next day

The family sat down at the table and ate their breakfast in peace, enjoying the morning sun shine through the windows of the dining room.

Rukia was eating her breakfast in a good mood, humming and smiling like an idiot. Byakuya looked at his younger sibling, like she was an alien or something.

"Why in such a good mood?" Byakuya questioned as he lowered his newspaper.

"Ichigo is coming home today!" Rukia sung in joy.

Byakuya rolled his eyes in annoyance and turned his head towards his fiancée, who was also eating her breakfast in joy.

"You too?!" he shrilled in surprise.

"Bya-kun*, Ichigo is Rukia's boyfriend. That makes him a part of our family." Hisana explained as she pointed her slender finger towards Byakuya's visage. (*Bya-kun is a nickname Hisana gave him)

The male grumbled in anger, continuing to read his newspaper. After breakfast Rukia cleaned up her mess and ran upstairs slamming the bedroom door shut behind her.

The petite female walked towards her phone, unlocking the screen. She had one message, she opened her mailbox fast:

Ichigo: 4:34 AM

Sorry that I'm writing so early.

I'm on my way back now, I'll be

reaching Tokyo around 3:00 PM,

If you want you can come and visit

me today.

Love,

Ichigo.

Rukia sighed in relief, she was glad that her mate would be back soon. Rukia opened up her closet, looking for something to wear.

After looking for an hour she finally found something. On her bed she placed a rose colored dress what would probably reach her knees. Rukia jumped into the shower and cleaned herself.

She left her onyx hair air-dry as she got dressed, after her hair was dry the female tied up into a knot, so the strands wouldn't fall on her visage.

The Kuchiki applied makeup into her face, letting the mascara brush her eyelashes gently. She powdered a little blush on her high cheek bones, and at last she smeared a garnet colored lipstick on her lips.

She looked at her reflection in the mirror, seeing if her makeup was like the way she wanted it to be. After checking her visage for any mistakes she untied her raven locks, letting them fall on her back.

Rukia brushed through hair, letting the brush get rid of her tangles. She looked at the clock, it was almost 2:45 PM already.

The petite female brushed her hair faster, and clipped her raven bangs to the side of her face. She grabbed for her phone and stuffed it into her bag, running down the stairs.

Grabbing onto her shoes she almost tripped over her own feet, as Byakuya was watching her.

"Leaving?" he asked.

"I'm going to go to Ichigo's." Rukia explained.

Byakuya nodded as he watched the relative put on her sandals and ran out the door. "And she forgot to close the door…" Byakuya thought to himself.

Luckily, she reached Ichigo's place in time, as she rang the doorbell. A man answered the door, which was probably around mid-thirties.

"May I help you?" he questioned as he looked down at the petite form in front of him.

Rukia was confused, she thought Ichigo lived here. She looked at the label over the door bell, but it said "Kurosaki".

The Kuchiki looked back up the tall built figure that stood before her. His hair was also coal black, and the color that shades his eyes was a rusty brown.

"Um…does an Ichigo Kurosaki live here?" she questioned the stranger.

"Yes, he does. One moment please." He smiled at Rukia facing his head towards the apartment.

"Ichigo! There's someone at the door for you!" the built male hollered into the apartment.

Footsteps were approaching, as Ichigo poked his head through the door. His eyes sprung open as he saw the Kuchiki in front of his door step.

The tall teenager stood in front of the door way, as he looked at Rukia surprised.

"Come on in." he stuttered getting red in the face.

The petite female entered the small apartment, taking off her shoes.

"Dad, this is Rukia." Ichigo explained looking up to his father.

The tall built figure looked down at Rukia and smiled.

"It's a pleasure Rukia, my name is Isshin Kurosaki." his father explained as he shook her hand gently.

Rukia smiled at Ichigo's father and looked back at Ichigo himself. Isshin looked at his watch and gasped:

"I'm sorry Ichigo but I have to leave for work, or my boss is going to kill me." Isshin apologized.

"You should bring Rukia over for dinner some time." the built male winked at the petite young woman and walked out of the apartment, closing the door behind him.

"Your father?" Rukia asked surprised.

"Yeah…" he replied, scratching his carrot colored hair.

"I told him about you, so don't wonder why he knows your name." Ichigo explained as he walked into the living room, Rukia following behind.

"He seems really nice." Rukia complimented, as she followed Kurosaki.

The couple sat down, as silence filled the room. Rukia was a little embarrassed, it was weird to have Ichigo near him again, due their long separation.

"What's with the look? Your face is as red as an tomato." Ichigo questioned.

"N-nothing how was the trip?" she asked.

"It was cool, I learned how to fish." The orange haired male explained, studying his mate's facial expression.

"Cool…" she replied quietly in embarrassment.

"Rukia…?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia remained silent, as she started to play with her thumbs.

"You missed me didn't you?" he smirked as he pulled the petite woman for a hug.

"Yeah..." she whispered shyly, as she placed her head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat. Ichigo cupped her cheek and pushed her lips against his.

Oh how he missed that feeling, he missed her so much it wasn't even funny. Their kiss was passionate and slow, for a few minutes. Soon Ichigo returned a kiss that was rough, as he heard her whimper. He placed another rough kiss on her lips, tracing his tongue on her bottom lip.

Rukia moaned into his mouth, grabbing onto his shirt. Ichigo's hands sneaked slowly underneath her dress, gripping her small breast.

The petite female pushed Kurosaki down on the couch and climbed on top of him, kissing his jawline. Rukia's breathing turned into pants as she felt him press her small body against his own.

His breath became shorter, so was Rukia's. She didn't know why, but in this moment she wanted him to do more than just "kissing".

Ichigo grabbed onto her dress, slowly pulling and tugging on the rose colored fabric.

"Ru…kia?" he groaned out load.

Rukia sat up, as the laces of her dress fell off her shoulders, showing a part of her small breasts.

"I want you…" he whispered huskily.
