Jyu Ichi

When pigs fly

"Man, where is everyone?" I ask myself as I paced around the living room floor.

Yuzu wasn't in the kitchen because when I stepped in the door, I didn't smell dinner. I frowned at that. Karin wasn't in the living room playing her usual video games. The old goat wasn't in clinc tending to people's wounds. Rukia...well...Rukia was in Soul Society for the weekend 'visiting' as she put it. Damn, I am worried about the midget. She'd better not get herself into trouble.

"Ichigo! My son!" The old goat calls and run in through the front door. He jumped up and tried to kick me in the face. I easily dodged it by taking on step to the side. I crossed my arms across my chest and watched as I dad twitched in pain. "I've taught you well son..."

"Yeah yeah." I say and sit down on the sofa. "Where is everyone?"

"Yuzu and Karin are at a friend's house and Rukia-chan said that she was staying at Orihime's." My dad replies. It's a good is as gullible and stupid as they get or he would know that Rukia doesn't go Orihime's house whenever she says that she is. I'm glad that I know where she really goes every time. Y'know...so I can check up on her if I need too...okay, I'll just shut up now.

"How long are Yuzu and Karin gone?" I ask.

"Until tomorrow." He says and sits down on the couch next to me. We sit in silence until Dad speaks up again. "I guess it's time for that talk. I mean since no one is here to bother us...there isn't a better time to do this." He mummers to himself. My face reddens.

"Uh... Dad..." I begin and clear my throat. "If you're talking about...that talk...sorry to tell you this, but school beat ya to it." I scratch the back of bright red neck in embarrassment and nervousness. The old man blinks at me for a second before he laughs loudly.

"No that talk, Ichigo you pervert, it's another talk." A pervert? I am not! I grit my teeth together and settle down into the sofa.

"What other talk?" I mutter.

"It's a girlfriend talk because-"

"I don't have a girlfriend." I interrupt and Dad gives me a sly smile.

"Yet. I'm confident that you'll get the guts to ask Rukia-chan out soon. Then I can be a grandfather!" I get up from my seat and punch my dad in the face.

"Shut up!" I yell as I feel the heat rush up to my face once again. "Me and Rukia aren't going out and...and we never will." Okay, I admit, it hurt a little to say that. The old goat lets out a childish sob and whimpers.

"You hurt daddy!" He exclaims and I sit back down on the sofa angrily. There is another moment of silence between us. "Ichigo." His tone becomes serious. "Really, it's time we talked." Talk about having a bipolar dad.

"Yeah? What?" I ask slightly annoyed.

"Do you love her?" My almost bulged out of my sockets. Time to play stupid.

"Who?"

"Stop playing dumb Ichigo, you know exactly who I mean." Dad says and then he glances over at Mom's poster. "She'd like Rukia-chan you know. Rukia-chan is someone who your mom would love to have as a daughter-in-law. She's headstrong, smart, but most important of all, she can take care of you. And Masaki would want someone who loved her son and could take care of him."

When did Dad get so...serious? I stare at him and decide that he's right. Rukia as saved my ass more times than I can count. But, most important of all she saved me from myself. I may not be in love with her, but I think I'm getting there.

"You're right." I agree and Dad looks at me in shock. "Rukia is someone that Mom would love, but is that why you like her?"

"Of course not. I like her because she's someone I would want for my son too."

"Dad, I'm gonna be completely serious with you and if ya can, will you try to be serious also?"

"I'm always serious Ichigo, you're just never around to see it." I snort at it.

"Sure. Whatever Dad." I respond. I look at him and take in one long deep breath.

"Rukia...is a friend. A really good friend, probably my best friend. Maybe later...I might get feelings for her, but for now we're friends and that's all. I like Rukia, a lot." I confess as my face turns a slight tint of pink. Dad looks at me thoughtfully and nods. He hasn't screamed out in joy on the last sentence.

"Fair enough, but have you ever considered how Rukia-chan feels about you?" He asks and I freeze. He's right. Damn him. I never once thought about how Rukia might feel. I shake my head slowly. "I think you should consider her feelings Ichigo." I nod and get up to leave. "Hold on! I'm not done." Dad yells.

"What now? Don't you think you've embarrassed me enough?"

"Don't let her go Ichigo. Believe or not, there was a time where your Mom was very much like Rukia-chan. She was stubborn as hell and yelled at me too much. I came to figure out that she only did all those things because she loved me and because she cared. I can tell now that Rukia will be an amazing mother and she'll be an amazing wife. Ichigo deny it if you want, but she's perfect for you and you're perfect for her."

"Yeah Dad you're right. She is perfect for me. That stupid hot-head doesn't know it yet." I see the satisfied smirk on my Dad's face and begin to walk away. "Hey Dad?" I ask. I stop and look back at him.

"Yes?"

"Thanks."

"No problem."

"And Dad?"

"Yeah."

"This talk never happened."

"You bet it didn't."

He may be a pain in my ass, but he never fails to make his opinion known. Whether it be in a blunt way or not. I never noticed until now, I'm like my Dad too, maybe that's why I'm falling for Rukia. I laugh to myself as I climb the stairs. As I lay on my bed a thought comes to me.

I wonder if she loves me too?

Rukia in love? Ha, that'll be the day...and Rukia in love with me? Yeah, when pigs fly.

Somewhere far away...

An old man attaches plastic wings on a small pig and pushes a button. The pink pig begins to float in the air.

"Finally! I did it! I found a way to make pigs fly!"

Okay, I admit, the ending was really stupid. I can't help it...

Sorry for the shortness! You guys deserve a longer one-shot, but the creative part of my brain blew a gasket. Urgh...time to read more IchiRuki so I can get these gears back in motion...

I think that Ichigo's dad can be serious and he can give Ichigo amazing advice. So if it was OOC to you, I'm sorry, it's just my crazy way of thinking.

I hope you liked it and please review!
