Ichigo and Rukia walk hand in hand towards their classroom that monday morning, he kept glancing at her and she always smiles back..they stopped at the door before opening it.

"You know, its okay if we dont tell them.." Rukia said to him, he leans and kissed her cheek.

"I cant even wait to say it..that your already mine.." he said grinning at her.

Rukia just smiles and opened the door slowly, once opened the chatters stops and all eyes are on them looking at their locked hands. Ichigo squeezed Rukia's hands gently and nods to her, telling her to let him do the talking..

Keigo approach them and stared at their intertwined fingers. " Hmm..why are you holding hands?"

Ichigo cleared his throat. "Rukia is my girlfriend now.."

"Really?'' says Keigo.

"Congrats Ichigo.." says Mizuiro while smiling at them.

"Well, I think its time..you guys look good together.." Tatsuki hit his back hard, he winced but still smiled at his bestfriend.

" Thanks Tatsuki.." Ichigo turned his head and saw Ishida already sitting on his seat, he look at him and he gave Ishida a gratefull look, Ishida returned it with a smile that says. "Congratulations..I'm happy for you.."

Ichigo pulled Rukia slowly to their seat when Orihime came..

"Good morning everyone!.." She said cheerfully.

Keigo rush to her and told her the news, Inoue's eyes widen upon hearing this and looked at Rukia, she of course stared at Inoue worriedly ,she knows that Inoue had feelings for Ichigo.

But before she could talk Ichigo spoke first. " Its true Inoue, Me and Rukia are in a relationship now..I hope you give us your blessing.."

Inoue stared at him. "Promise you wont hurt Kuchiki-san again..."

"I promise, as long as she's with me , she wont cry a single tear.."

She looked into his eyes and saw his sincerity, "He's telling the truth.." she smiled at him and held out her hand. " Good, I'm happy for you and I wish you all the best.."

Ichigo took it and they shake hands, He glanced at Rukia who is smiling at them..

Inoue excused herself and walks to the bathroom slowly, she clutch her heart, it hurts.. she can feel it the pain..so she's still have feelings for him, "Of course! I like him for a very long time..I cant get rid of him easily.." she sighs. She does have feelings for him but she's willing to sacrifice for her family, and Rukia is her family.

"Sometimes you have to forget what you want, to remember what you deserve right.." she said softly. ''I know Mr. Right is just around the corner.." Inoue walks to her locker to get some books, when she opened it a note falls on the floor she picked it up and read it.

"You have no idea how much I like you,

how much you make me smile...

how much I want to talk to you,

or how much I wish you were mine..."

From: Your Secret Admirer..

Inoue stared at it wide eyes and squealed excitedly. " Sugoi! I have a secret admirer! wonder who it is?" she said and inspecting the paper, trying to find a clue or something not knowing there's a guy around the corner watching her..he just smiles seeing Orihime's reaction..

The bells rings, the guy glanced at Orihime one last time and left.

At lunchtime Keigo wants to eat with the girls again, seeing that Ichigo wants to eat with Rukia , Keigo thought that now's his chance to get the girls attention. Ichigo told Rukia to wait for him in the classroom saying that there's something important he wants to say to Tatsuki, he left and Rukia waited at her seat when someone approach her.

" Hey.."

Rukia smiles at Ashido. " Hey..your late, its lunchtime already.."

"Yeah, I kind of overslept..I didnt have any sleep last night" he smiles sheepishly.

"Why's that?"

Ashido looked at her in a serious face. " Because I was thinking about you.."

She stared at him, waiting for him to explain.

"I'll make it short Rukia..I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend.."

She bit her lips, she doesnt know how to tell him the truth without hurting his feelings..he's a good friend but she cant accept him.

"I-I'm sorry Ashido..but I cant accept your feelings..besides I already have a boyfriend.. I'm sorry.." She said bowing her head, she cant look at him, she stands up and starts to walk to the door when Ashido grab her hand and turn her forcefully.

Rukia stared wide eyes at the guy in front of her, his eyes blazing with anger that she never saw before.

"No one ever says No to me, when I says you're mine..you are!" he said in a hard voice.

She yanks her hand and glared at him, so he's not the nice Ashido anymore." Never! as I said I have a boyfriend and even if I'm single I will never be with you..!"

Ashido pushed her against the wall, she yelp in pain when her back hit it, he took her hands and pinned it above her head. Rukia tried to get herself free but Ashido is far more stronger than her.

He leans in and whispered to her ears. " I bet I'm a lot better kisser than him..wanna try Rukia.."

She looks at him in disgust and spit at his face, he looks at her with killing intent. " Fine then." he says and start kissing Rukia's neck forcefully, she starts squirming and kicking him, then Rukia remembers that night when Ichigo saved her, what did he do back then? suddenly she remembers it and kneeled Ashido between his legs, He let go of her and fell down the ground.

Rukia smirked triumphantly. " Thats what you get for messing up with me.." she said and turned around smiling when she felt a hand on her feet.

Ashido grabbed her feet causing Rukia to fall down on the floor with him, he slowly pulled her towards him , while Rukia kept kicking at him, he grinned as he can see her white chappy panties under her skirt.

"Nice underwear you got there Rukia.."

She glared at him. "Let me go! you Asshole!"

He smirked and pulled her more, but stop when someone stepped on his hands, he looks up and found a furious Ichigo glaring at him. " YOU'RE DEAD!"

Ichigo walks to their classroom with a smile, he talked to Tatsuki about his plan for tonight..he wants to surprised Rukia for their first date and he needs help. He walks faster and reached their classroom, he opened the door slowly and was stunned for a second upon seeing Rukia on the floor while that Ashido kept pulling her feet. His body shook with anger, he wants to kill the bastard and he will do it.

Ichigo walks towards them and stepped on Ashido's hand, stopping him.

"Ichigo.." Rukia said gratefully.

" Wait for me outside Rukia.." he said while staring at the bastard in front of him.

She stands up quickly and took her bag, she look at him for the last time worriedly that he might kill Ashido, She hates the guy but she doesnt want her boyfriend turn into a murderer.

Ichigo smiles at her. " Dont worry babe..I'll just teach him lesson.." he said while stepping harder on Ashido's hand, the guy winced in pain.

Rukia nods and walks outside the door, she closed it behind her and started walking away. After a few minutes.

Rukia walks back and forth worriedly at the hallway, waiting for Ichigo. " What's taking him so long..Maybe I should go back.." she let out a surprised yelp when she felt an arm wrap around her waist, she turned her head and found Ichigo smiling at her, his head on her shoulder.

" Are you okay? Did he hurt you?." She swallowed. "Did you kill him?"

"Yeah I did.."

Rukia gasp , stared wide eyes at him causing Ichigo to laugh furiously.

She glared at him. " What so funny? You just killed somebody?"

He stopped laughing and kissed her cheeks. "He was just knocked out, but I think after what I did, he wont bother you again.."

"What did you do?" She asked curiously when a student runs between them in panic.

"Help! I need help!"

" What happened ?" Rukia heard the other students asked.

"Ashido-kun's on the floor unconscious and there was blood all over his face! And he was missing a tooth! he needs help!." says the student and runs towards the school clinic.

Rukia glanced at Ichigo who is smirking at her. " Come on, time to eat lunch Rukia.." He said wrapping his arms around her shoulder. " You know..I want you to meet my family.."

" Really, I would love to..when?"

"How about tonight? eat dinner at my house.."

She thought about it for a second and smiled. " Okay..I'll be there.."

Ichigo smiles back. " I'll pick you up at 7."

Rukia nods cheerfully and they walks together to the rooftop to eat their lunch.

7 pm.

Rukia turned around and looked carefully at the mirror, she's just wearing a plain blue dress and a white sweater, she's satisfied about her look and walks downstairs found Rangiku cooking dinner at the kitchen.

" Rangiku-san, I'm leaving..I'll be back at 9.."

"Yes dear, be careful on your way and dont worry I'll tell your father when he comes home.."

She opened the front door and saw Ichigo standing outside staring at her." You look beautiful.."

"When did you arrived?.."

"Just now Midget..come on they're waiting.."

She pouted at him. " I told you not to call me that.."

But instead Ichigo leans in and kissed her pouting lips. " Make me.." he said grinning.

Rukia just rolled her eyes and walks faster leaving Ichigo behind.

"Hey wait up Midget!"

she turned and faced him. " Make me." she said and starts running away.

Ichigo smiled. " I'll make you then.." he thought and runs towards his girlfriend who is laughing her heart out.

Isshin stared at the table, there its perfect. Ichigo told them that he'll bring his girlfriend over for dinner. They prepared a delicious dinner thanks to Yuzu's amazing cooking skills with the help of Masaki and Karin.

"You think Onii-chan's girlfriend is nice.." Yuzu asked her Mother.

"I'm sure she is..since Ichigo choose her." Masaki said smiling at her Daughter.

"they're here.." Isshin said and walks to the front door, he opened it and stared at the two teenagers, both out of breath .

"What happened to you guys? " he asked curiously.

"Nothing Dad..Is dinner ready yet?" Asked Ichigo smiling at him.

"Yes, come on in.." He looked at Rukia. " Ahh..congratulations my son..you found A very beautiful girl.."

Rukia bowed her head shyly. " Thank you .."

"Not so formal..just Isshin-san..okay.."

she nods slowly. "Yes..thank you Isshin-san.."

"Alright come on in..beautiful lady first.."

Rukia was a bit nervous, What if his mother wont like her?..she kept asking herself as she followed Ichigo's dad towards the dining area, Ichigo seems reading her mind, he took her hand and squeezed it gently. They stopped at the dining table, there was sitting Ichigo's two little sisters and his mother.

Masaki stood up. " Welcome to our home, Ichigo told us about you..."

" Thank you.." Rukia said , she stared at Masaki, she knows that Ichigo's mom is blind. He told her.

"Hi..I'm Kurosaki Yuzu and she's my twin sister Kurosaki karin.." Says Yuzu smiling cheerfully at her.

" Nice meeting you.." she said and sat down, they start eating their food, Rukia eyes grew wide after eating a spoon full of curry.

"This is so good.."

Ichigo smiled at her reaction. "Yeah , that's Yuzu's specialty..Curry..it is delicious.."

"thank you Onii-chan , thank you Rukia-chan.." Yuzu says gratefully at them.

" Rukia-chan, Ichigo told us you just moved here..Where did you live before?" Masaki asked her.

"Well I lived in Okinawa for twelve years, and I came here and lived with my father.."

"What's your father's name Rukia-chan? if he lives in this town then I might know him.." Isshin asked curiously.

"Kuchiki Byakuya.."

Masaki eyes widen in shock and, lets go of her fork causing it to fall to the floor.

"Mom..are you okay?" Ichigo asked her Mom seeing her frightened face.

"Can I ask? What is your mother's name?" masaki asked, her hand shaking under the table.

Rukia stared at Masaki confused by her reaction. "Kuchiki Hisana.."

She gasped softly and she stood up slowly. " I'm not feeling well, I'll just be in my room.."

Ichigo stood up and tried to help his mother but Masaki stopped him, and let Isshin helped her instead.

Masaki and Isshin walks upstairs and goes to their room, once the door was close, Masaki starts crying..

Isshin helped her sit on their bed and embrace his wife, Masaki cried on his chest. "Oh my god..Isshin, that girl she's- she's-

"Shhh that's enough Masaki.."

"What will happen if she finds out that her Mom died because of -

Isshin cuts her off. " No, honey listen to me..that was an accident..it wasnt your fault.."

She nodded slowly still sobbing.." What should I do?..Ichigo.."

After dinner Ichigo showed Rukia his room. she starts to look around , found a few books on a shelf beside the closet, no posters or anything , just a simple room. She walks to the window, beside the bed and opened it, she inhaled the cold breeze. Rukia just stood there, look up the sky admiring the moon, she felt Ichigo walks towards her and embrace her from the back.

"The moon is beautiful..see.." She said pointing the moon.

"Yeah, but you're far more beautiful than the moon.."

She smirked at him. " That's a cheesy line.."

"I know..but that's the truth.." He said while staring at her.

''Hey, your birthday is near..next month right?"

"Yeah..how did you know?" he asked curiously.

"Arisawa-san told me..your turning seventeen right.."

Ichigo grinned at her. " Yes, but your still older than me.."

Rukia turned around facing him. " What? i-its only for a year..besides you look a lot older than me when we're together.." she said crossing her arms.

"Why's that?" Asked Ichigo amused by her reaction.

"Because you're freakin' taller!" She said with a 'Hmp'.

"Oh really, I think I should punish you.." he smirked,

Rukia yelped surprisingly when Ichigo carried her to his bed and lie her down, while Ichigo on top of her grinning evilly.

"Do you know what I'm gonna do to you Midget?.."

She shakes her head giggling. "How should I know strawberry?.."

Ichigo close the gap between them and kissed Rukia passionately, he took her hand and hold it above her head, he stops kissing her lips and starts kissing her neck, slowly, softly, Rukia shivered feeling Ichigo's hot mouth on her neck.

"I-chigo..hmm" she said softly.

Ichigo feels his body starting to heat upon hearing Rukia's moans and before he could do something more than a kiss, he stops, he locked their foreheads and stared into her eyes.

"We should stop.." he said softly.

Rukia giggles. " Yeah, we should.." Ichigo kissed her lips one last time and stood up.

Rukia eye's caught something at the corner..its a guitar, she walked over to it and took it.

"Is this yours?"

Ichigo nodded. " Yeah, Chad gave that to me years ago.."

"Hmm..hey, can you play it? please I want to hear you sing.."

"But, I havent played that guitar, for a very long time.."

"Please..." she pleaded cutely.

Ichigo sighs. "Fine.." and took the guitar. "What song would you like to hear?"

"Anything.."

He stared at her." Anything?...then how about this.." he said and started playing his guitar and sings.

There are times

when I just want to look at your face

With the stars in the night..

There are times

When I just want to feel your embrace

In the cold of the night

I just can't believe that you are mine now..

He looked into her eyes.

You were just a dream that I once knew

I never thought I would be right for you

I just can't compare you with

Anything in this world

You're all I need to be with forevermore

*He remembered those times when Rukia was avoiding him, and the longing he felt.

All those days I've longed to hold you in my arms

I've been dreaming of you

Every night,

I've been watching all the stars that fall down

Wishing you would be mine

I just can't believe that you were mine now

*He caressed her cheeks softly.

You were just a dream that I once knew

I never thought I would be right for you

I just can't compare you with

Anything in this world

As endless as forever

Our love will stay together)

You're all I need

To be with forevermore...

Rukia sighs softly. " Wow.."

"That was for you..you're my forevermore.." he said smiling, leans to her and whispered. " I love you.."

she smiles back. " I love you too.." she said and kissed him.

Masaki stands outside Ichigo's room, sobbing softly.

" What should I do?..."

The song I used is Forevermore by Side A, the lyrics fit so much and the music is Wow.. I just imagined that Ichigo was singing it..and it kind of clicked...
