I woke up again and it was finally time to start the day. I was so happy, getting to start the day out in a healthy, happy, secretly loving relationship with the love of my life. I know, it's not good to be calling him that or saying that what we have is love, but it is the undisputed truth.

"Haku, are you decent?" Yuzu knocked on my door.

"You can come in," I laughed.

The door opened and not only Yuzu but Karin entered my room and hastily shut the door behind them, as if to hide their entrance, where I curiously inquired, "What are you two doing?"

Karin sat down on the floor, "We want to talk to you,"

Yuzu looked at me unsurely but sat next to her sister, "We know this isn't our business, but we want to protect our brother,"

I got out of bed and sat next to them, "I so wish I had someone to do that for me. Ichigo's a lucky guy,"

Karin nodded with her arms frimly crossed, "Damn right!"

"Haku, we were wondering what your intentions are with Ichi," Yuzu asked me fearing that she had overstepped her place, biting her lip.

I shook my head, "You can feel free to ask me anything. To answer your questions, I would like to stay with him as long as I can, because I really do like him,"

"You don't have to sugarcoat it for us, we're not babies," Karin snapped.

I smiled, "Alright, but please promise this will stay between us?"

Yuzu nodded straight away and Karin nodded after a brief pause to think it over.

"Alright, I know I just met him, but I think I love him and I would like to marry him, should we last long enough and he likes me like that too," I blushed at the thought.

"You would be a great sister," Yuzu smiled at me.

"Eh, you'd be alright," Karin shrugged.

"Thanks, that means more than you know," I smiled brightly.

"Well, I want to know if you're hiding anything from him, no matter what your reason is," Karin hit the proverbial nail on the head.

I frowned and knitted my eyebrows together, "You have to understand, I am, but only because I'm afraid of what will happen if I tell,"

Karin sighed, "The truth has a way of coming out, so it's better if you tell him first. Besides, I'm fairly sure that Ichigo won't leave you, no matter what you tell him,"

I hugged Karin, "Thank you!"

She patted the back of my left shoulder, "You don't have to cry about it,"

I shook my head and noticed that I was in fact crying, "Yes, I do,"

There was another knock on my door, but it wasn't for me, "Hey, you two need to leave Haku alone so she can get ready,"

"Yes dad," Karin and Yuzu walked out of my room.

"So, if you plan on marrying my son, you better not only be honest with him but be ready for this family and everything that comes with it,"

My face turned from near white to scarlet instantly, "You heard that?"

"My son and his girlfriend live in the same house. I have to make sure that nothing affects my girls,"

My blush deepened, "Well, sir, I would be honest if it came to that, but that's a long, long ways from happening. I mean, I will tell him before that of course, but, oh never mind," I stumbled with my words.

Isshin winked, "I got ya,"

"Thanks," I slapped my head after he closed the door behind him.

Great. Just perfect. Now his whole family knew that I was hiding something and that I loved Ichigo. That was just peachy. God, I hate myself sometimes. Well, my stupidity and openness. To say or to think that I hated myself would be an insult to my other half.

After I changed into a pair of bell bottoms and a frilly tank top, I waited in the main room for Ichigo. He came out, followed by Rukia, which slightly irked me, but being in such a peppy mood, I let it go.

"Morning," I smiled at Ichigo with a slight blush on my face.

"Morning," He returned my smile, "So, what's the plan today?"

I put on a look of mock hurt, "Hey, that's my line!"

He kissed the top of my head, "Now who's taking who's line?"

My blush spread for no apparent reason, "We should take a walk,"

"Is that all we're ever going to do?" He teased, wrapping his arm around my waist as we headed for the door precariously.

"Well, well, who knew you'd move that quickly toward getting me in the sack. You could have at least waited until we were outside,"

His face burned visibly, "I didn't mean it like that!"

I pushed my head into his arm, "I'm just playing with you, jeez,"

"I know," He kissed the top of my head as we walked off to no where in particular, just enjoying being in each others company, even though that is a total cliche.

We wound up outside of the school, in the exact same place where we first met. I knew then that now was the perfect time to tell him the truth.

"Ichi," I looked at him dolefully to let him know this was serious, "I have to tell you something, something I wish could take back, but I can't,"

"Haku, before you start, I want you to know that I will not abandon you," He squeezed my hands.

I started to cry, "I guess I should start by telling you that my name isn't really Haku Taiyou, it's-"

Before I could tell him my name, the sky cracked into millions of pieces that folded themselves neatly to let Ulquiorra and Grimmjow appear before us.

Doom! They are doomed! Or are they? You'll just have to keep reading to find out! ******Insert evil laugh and even eviler music********

Oy, I don't own Bleach.
