Never had Ichigo been kissed like that before.
It made his heart skipped.
He knew it was cliché but shit, things were happening to him like they were in a movie, or from a shoujo manga!
Needless to say Ichigo's body, more specifically, his manhood was longing for her but Rukia closed the door on his face just when he was about to grab hold of her. Talk about bad timing.
He did not give up that easily though. He knocked, coaxing and begging her to let him in. Ego was nothing of his concern anymore. Rukia however, just chuckled and told him to go away.
He half thinking of smashing the door down but the thought of getting his ass kick by Rukia made him came to his senses. Not to mention the warning Byakuya has given to him last night.
Ichigo sighed.
There was nothing else he could do. He just has to walk away empty handed tonight.
Not that he expected anything to happen. He just wanted to spend some time with her, getting to know her. And that he has accomplished. Everything else was icing on the cake.
Ichigo grinned widely and if he was not so lost in his own thoughts, he would have notice Gin when he passed him. He also would have notice the murderous look in Gin's eyes accompanied by that everlasting smirk which seems like it is permanently etched on his face.
Rukia looks at Gin wide eyes. Then her eyes quickly scan for Ichigo but he is nowhere to be seen. Gin and Ichigo must have passed each other on their way. She lets out a sigh of relieve.
"Hey kid, whatcha lookin' for? I'm right here." Gin pats Rukia's head.
"Huh? Oh yeah. What brings you here?"
Gin tilts his head questioningly. "Since when do I need a reason to see ya, kid?"
Rukia laughs nervously. "You're right, you don't. Sorry. Come in."
Gin walks in and takes his coat off. He opens the closet door and is about to hang it when he pauses. There is a man's coat hanging in there as well.
"Got company, kid?"
"Huh? What?"
Gin points to the coat. Rukia looks at it for a few minutes until it finally hits her that the coat belongs to Ichigo. The one he put on her on the night she almost got raped. She has took it off, put it in there and completely forgot about it.
So I do have his coat! No wonder he was relentless about it…
Rukia smiles when she remembers Ichigo's face when he asked for his coat on the night of the ball. She has been so clueless then.
"Auwwww!" yelps Rukia when she suddenly feels Gin's knuckles on her skull.
"Someone is here?"
"Huh?"
Gin hold up his hand, ready to whack Rukia's head again.
"Oh that!" claims Rukia before Gin knuckles do anymore damage to her skull. She laugh nervously again. "One of my friends must have left it."
Gin concedes, hang his coat and closes the closet. "Are ya expecting someone, kid?"
"Nope"
"About to go out?"
"Eh? No. Why?"
Gin points to the dress that she is wearing. "A lil' fancy for a stay at home dress, don'tcha think?"
"I was just trying it out –"
"Don'tcha lie to me kid. You already did that once tonight," warns Gin, the smirk has completely gone.
Rukia lowers her head. She was not sure why she feels the need to lie to Gin but she knew that she should not have.
"I was out having dinner with Ichigo," explains Rukia reluctantly.
"I know"
Rukia looks up at Gin.
"I saw him on my way here, and because of this," Gin fishes out four memory cards from the pocket of his pants. "It contains the pictures of you from the moment you arrived at the restaurant."
"What? How did they –"
"Ya are a socialite now. Whatcha do now will spark interest of everyone."
"But how did you –"
"I have my ways. I told ya I will always look out for ya, kid." Gin stretches an arm and embraces Rukia.
The truth was Gin came by earlier to pay Rukia a visit since he did promise her a phone call. That was when he saw Rukia got on Ichigo's bike so he followed them. Luckily he was driving a rental otherwise Rukia might have notice him. He stayed in his car and watched the drama unfolded. After they left the restaurant, Gin quickly came up to the paparazzi and got hold of their pictures, not without difficulties and big checks.
"Don'tcha lie to me ever again, kid. That is not how our relationship works."
Rukia nods slowly.
"So how was dinner?" asks Gin as he pats Rukia's hair, at the same time inhaling her scent.
"It was… interesting."
"Ya like that boy?"
Rukia does not answer and after several minutes she buries her head on his chest, inhaling his scent. "I miss you…"
Gin put his other arm across Rukia's small figure. His smirk has finds it way back to his face.
This girl will always be his.

Grimmjow tosses and turns in his bed. He keeps thinking of his conversation with Ishida this afternoon. Why in hell does Ishida want Rukia's address and phone number?
Read and review!
I apologize for the late update. I have my own real life drama to deal with.
And this one is a filler.
