Hey, I'm sorry that it took so long to update, but with school starting, and me being stressed enough to throw my fist into the tiled wall in the girls bathroom, I've had little time to write. Monday was the first day, and having to find my way around the middle school again, does not help.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach in any way, shape, or form. I do however own this fic, and you will die a slow and painful death if I ever catch plaigerizing my work.

"...and I'm tired of your little group of bitches!" Ami Yukishiro had finally hit a nerve on Yuzu. It never bother her that the little bitch treated her badly, but when they start dissing her brother, she cracked. "Jack around with my family or friends again, and I"ll slam you through that brick wall quicker than you can blink!" Yuzu walked off to class, hoping that the day would get better. Yay! Teacher's late, and I'm off the hook!

"Hey, Yuzu! What took you so long?" Holly Samuels, a girl from the United States, and Yuzu's best friend had to be curious.

"Tell you later." Yuzu crammed all her stuff under the chair, still suprised that she'd said all those true, yet vey mean, things. (I'm so proud of Yuzu!)

Yuzu bit at her noodles, listening to Karin explain some random tech thing to Holly.

"While I'm thinking about it, Yuzu, you said you'd tell me what went on in the hall." Holly stole some noodles from Karin, and waited for an answer.

"It was nothing. The bitch just said something about Ichigo, and I cracked." Yuzu took a few chips out of Karin's box. I guess it's 'Steal From Karin Day'.

"So, who won?" Karin looked to Yuzu, deciding to ignore the fact that her friend and sister are stealing food from her.

"There wasn't a fight, so don't even..."

"There's about to be one." Ami, Queen of the Bitch People, decided to butt in. "Because of you, my friends left me."

"Well I guess you're friends don't like you very much, either." Yuzu went back to her own business, but Ami was a persistent little bitch.

"Their excuse was that I'm being too mean. That's not true. I'm smply stating the truth. Your brother is banging girls behind his girlfriend's back." Ami sneered.

"I know that Ichigo would never do anything like that. And what gives you the right to butt into his life. You're not family, and you certinly don't matter in the world, so what do you care?" Yuzu stood up, and glared at Ami. "What gives you the right treat others so shitty? What gives you the right act as if you're so high and mighty?" Yuzu smacked her in the face. "With the way you treat people, I'd be suprised if you were to get a job as a cashier!"

"You owe me an apology for that, Kurosaki!" Ami glared at Yuzu.

"Not until you apologize to me for treating me like shit since the fourth grade. Not until you apologize for saying what you did about Ichigo. Not until you apologize to all those you've treated badly in your life." Yuzu walked off, so that she could blow off steam and not throw her fist through Ami's face.

"Rukia, here's how you work it." Ichigo took her pen from her hand, and worked the problem. She still sucked in math. "...and that's how you get X." Ichigo kissed er on the cheek when Ochi-sensei wasn't looking, and went back to his own math.

Maybe Rukia will want to do something, tonight. Ichigo finished the last problem, and pulled out some manga. Ayashi no Ceres would kill his boredom.

Rukia finished soon after, and passed him a note.

Hey. You wanna go out tonight?

Ichigo nodded at her, added something to the note, and passed it back.

Sure. We can sneak up onto the roof, and watch the stars. If that's not too cheesey.

Rukia looked at the note, and then passed it back after adding something.

Sure.

Ichigo looked back at her, and folded the paper into a heart.

Love ya, babe.

Rukia looked at Ichigo as if to say "You're Nutts!" and then put the heart into her binder, so that all the world could see it.

Rukia was laying on Ichigo's chest, and he had an arm wrapped around her. They were staring up at the stars, and would occaisionly utter something about them.

"Hey, Ichigo?" Ichigo looked down at his girl. "Thanks, for letting me live with you."

"You don't need to thank me. I love you."

"Yes I do. I jumped into your life so quickly, and that was only a few months ago, but it seems as if we've known eachother
forever. I love you, and I'm sorry that I drug you into all that mess in Soul Society. If I could undo it, and still know you like I do now, I would. But I'll work wih what I have. I love you to bits, Ichigo. If you ever forget that, I'll kill you." Rukia leaned up and kissed him on the lips.

"I wouldn't want to undo any of it. I love you, too." Ichigo leaned over, and kissed her. After about five minutes of making out, they heard the door to the top of the school open. They'd gone there because they were sure to be disturbed at home, but it seems that they'd have to leave the country to get some tme alone.

Ichigo got up, Rukia followed, and they went to see who it was. Please don't be who I think it is... Ichigo was going nutts in his mind, hoping that it was just a janitor. But alas, nothing ever went the way Ichigo wanted...

Rukia and Ichigo saw Kari and Chad, and decided to leave as quietly as possible to give the other couple their time alone. Ichigo remembered a few weeks ago when he said that he wouldn't butt in anymore. Rukia leaned against his shoulder as they went home to watch the stars from Ichigo's bedroom.

Thanks for being so patient! I'm sorry that it took so long. I love reviews, so keep 'em coming!
