Much to Rukia's delight her plan seemed to be working, in fact it was rare to find Ichigo without Toushirou or vice verse. Now her only problem was getting them to admit that they liked each other as more than friends. Although the small girl truly wanted to see the two happy she did have an alterior motive. Rukia had known Renji since she was a child but of late she had begun to see him in a very different light.

The only problem was that Renji was also Ichigo's best friend and Renji might see it as a betrayal of Ichigo's trust if he started dating Ichigo's ex-girlfriend right after she and Ichigo had broke up but if Ichigo was happily with someone else it might just nullify Renji's sense of honor.

Smiling to herself Rukia walked around a corner to one of the more secluded spots in the school and froze. Curled up in the corner was none other than her ex-boyfriend and the prodigy himself. Neither noticed the sudden intrusion, they were much to busy with making out quite enthusiasticly.

Slowly, so as to not bother them Rukia back away and then did them both the favor of standing guard against further intrusions on the two boy's activities. The bell rang and the two came out with flushed cheeks to find her still standing there waiting impatiently.

They stared at her with wide eyes, but Rukia just smiled and said "Nice to know that I won't have to go through the trouble of implementing the rest of my plan."

"W-what plan?" Ichigo stuttered looked frightened at the thought of Rukia having any sort of plan involving him.

"My plan to get you two together of course." She told them innocently before turning and heading off to her first class, leaving the two bewildered boy's behind.


"Guess what!" Rukia exclaimed as she joined her friends outside for lunch.

"What?" Renji asked in a bored voice.

Rukia smiled "I caught Toushirou and Ichigo kissing in a corner." she told them gleefully.

"Really? Well that didn't take long." said Uruy with a shake of his head. Rukia nodded happily, while giving Renji a sideways glance to see his reaction. Renji was frowning at her.

"Did they say you could tell us?" he asked her.

"Well, no not exactly, but they didn't say I couldn't" She replied feeling a little guilty, truth be told she hadn't even thought about their feelings. Renji frowned at her.

"If they didn't say you could tell us then you should have waited." he told her crossly, he stood and stalked off angrily, much to the others surprise.

It didn't seem fair to him that Ichigo's and Toushirou's relationship had just been blurted out for all their friends but since the deed was already done he might as well give them the heads up.

Renji found the two up on the roof as usual. When he came through the roof door he found that they were sitting rather close to each other and gave him a startled look.

"Hey Renji. What's up?" Ichigo asked as Renji sat down facing him.

"I thought you guys might want to know that Rukia just told us that you two are dating."

Toushirou sighed and shook his head "Yeah, we figured she would, that was why we decided to eat lunch up here today." the small boy told him.

Renji nodded, "I kinda thought so, but I also figured I would give you guys a heads up as well." he let out a growl of frustration"I can't believe Rukia went and did something like this." he exploded

"Ichigo laughed, "I cam, after all she is trying to get someone."

Renji gave him a confused look and the strawberry smiled. "Renji, Rukia's in love with you." he told the pineapple.

"What? Where did you come up that insane idea?" Renji spluttered. Ichigo and Toushriou just smiled at him.

"And besides how is spilling your guys secrets going to make me go out with her?"

"I don't know, I'm sure there some sort of logic to it." Ichigo told him with a shrug.

"Anyway Renji, you probably should go back to her, after all she might be afraid that you're angry with her." Toushirou advised him and Ichigo nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we were planning on telling you guys soon anyways so no harm done."

"Um, okay" Renji stood up and in a kind of dazed state, stumbled back down the steps.

"That was interesting" murmured the prodigy, and Ichigo laughed.

"Yeah, but anyways, the next people were going to have to tell is our parents."

Toushirou sighed "You mean parent, the only one were telling is your dad."

Ichigo nodded "I figured as much, when do you want to do it?"

"I don't have work tomorrow, I would like to do it then, if that's alright with you?"

"Sounds good to me."


Ichigo/author's note

Ichigo: well that was boring, no one cares about Rukia's love life.

zx14ninja: um Ichigo...

Ichigo: I mean come on, the story is about me and Toushirou not Rukia and Renji!

zx14ninja: Hey, Ichigo...

Ichigo: Why do you have to write about Rukia anyways, Can't we have more (WHAM)

Zx14ninja: As I was trying to tell you, Rukia is right behind you so you might want to shut up.

Ichigo: (lying on the ground) Yeah...thanks for the...warning.
