-SchelmaAnimeFan, purplepam, saiya-jinPan140, Lizzy thank you for your reviews :)

So back to Karakura: do you remember what happened last time there? It was Rukia's birthday. Ichigo was planing something for the occasion .. but then Byakuya saw them. (Everybody was expecting for Byakuya to start a fight, but i personally find Byakuya too gentleman for that kind of actions, hihi) Byakuya eventually left and met with Haruna (you know the rest of the story). Now let's see what happened in Karakura, while Byakuya and Haruna were together in Seireitei...

.

.

Ichigo kissed me. I just wanted him to put me down… but he kissed instead.

For a second I felt like I've heard Byakuya's voice on my mind whispering: "Rukia where your heart truly is? I'm waiting for you at home but Kurosaki is holding you in his arms? Rukia you gave me your hand in marriage but your heart… you gave it to Kurosaki."

I felt guilty and angry because I knew that was what I truly felt and It was useless to lie to myself.

But then Ichigo kissed me again… and I closed my eyes…and i forgot everything… even my name. Ichigo was all that I knew.

Kaine-dono told me once as he watched his wife from distance: "People do crazy when they're in love, Rukia…"

Tonight I finally understood his words. I just wanted to hold Ichigo tighter. I wanted to call him : "My Ichigo…"

Kainen-dono, did you know… I found my other half…

.

"Where are we going, Ichigo?" Rukia asked impatiently. "We're walking for more than an hour…"

"An hour? I didn't noticed when the time flew!" Ichigo lied and then he suddenly stopped. "We're here!"

Rukia looked diffidently at the colorful building and at the expensive cars parked in front of it.

"What is this, Ichigo?" she asked.

He passed a hand over his ruffled hair with a beautiful guilty smile.

"Well… this is a club…" he answered.

Rukia frowned.

"A club!" she stated displeased.

"Don't act like this! You don't even know what all ths is about yet!" he defend himself.

"Ichigo! I'm not dressed for dancing!" she snapped pointing at her shinigmai uniform.

He instantly started to laugh.

"Rukia! We're shinigamis! Nobody can see us!"

She raised her eyebrows, surprised by the fact that Ichigo was making a point for the first time in his life.

"Moreover, you always look beautiful to me…So, shall we?" he added while offering her his arms.

She bit her lower lip. She wasn't sure of what she was doing, but it was Ichigo she was talking about so she had no other chance but to trust him. She put her hand around his arm and he let him led her into the club. They passed the security without paying the entrance and Rukia thought for the first time of the advantages of being invisible. The moment they stepped into the dance floor her eyes widened. She had never been into a club before but she had heard a lot of stories… drum and base, vodka, young people dancing as if they had gone mad. Much for her surprise, the moment she enterer, she found none of these things she had heard of. Her first impression was that she had stepped into a warm summer evening. All the girls were wearing colorful, short dresses accessorized with their most beautiful and happy smile. The stage was in front of them and a band was singing, while all around the boys and girls were humming the songs and dancing in pairs. It must have been a concert, Rukia thought. The singer was at the edge of the stage and leaned his microphone toward the crowd. Rukia smiled: everybody seemed to know the lyrics… She closed her eyes for a second listening to the harmonious choir. The song was lovely… just like a summer Sunday. For a moment she forgot that it was January…

"Happy Birthday, Rukia…" Ichigo whispered in her ear.

That summer atmosphere made her also forget that it was her birthday. She turned to Ichigo with a childish happy smile she could no longer hide. Ready to thank Ichigo from bringing her here, she wanted to approached his year, but the same moment he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the bar. He noticed that someone had just asked for two campari orange. The barman put them on the bar, but before the customer could take them, Ichigo had grabbed them and turned to Rukia:

"Were you proffering some Sex on the Beach? Or Screaming Orgasm?" he asked with a cocky grin.

Her eyes widened ready to slap him.

"Wait! Wait, Rukia!" he snapped taking the glassed out of her way. " Theye're just some cocktails! That's how they're called!" he defended himself.

Still diffident, she cocked eyebrow and took the campari orange from his hand. She tossed it off in two seconds. Ichigo's eyes could widen surprised. Before he could say something, she finished also the other glass.

"Aamm…Would you like me to get you another?"

But Rukia didn't paid attention to his words her eyes turned to the stage with an excited expression.

"All his songs sound like summer…" she stated as she was following with her eyes the lead singer." How did you know about this place, Ichigo?"

"Chad worked his the last summer… he told me that if I want something different I should try it… I also saw on some posters that Michel Telo was singing tonight and since it was your birthday… I just though…" he begun a little unease.

"Thank you, Ichigo!" she suddenly turned to him with a childish, happy expression.

She was too direct, he though. When she was that direct, she was intimidating him. He tried to smile, but It didn't go too well, because his eyes was fascinated by her happy expression. He suddenly felt as if he was back in highschool, with no experience in managing girls… But this was no girl! She was Rukia!". He was nervous and he was thinking of what to say… of how to start a conversation. Then he mentally slapped himself. A conversation in a club! Could he act more nerdish then that?!… He should better invite her to dance. And then he recognized a song…

"Tô bem na parada, ninguém consegue entender…Chego na balada, todos param pra me ver"

"Fujidinhna!…" he stated enthused .

She turned curiously, but he suddenly took her hand dragged her to the dance floor.

"Ichigo! What are you doing?" she asked alarmed as she tried to free herself from his grip.

"Rukia… just trust me!"

"Ichigo, I'm not dancing… I don't know this music…I don't know the steps!" she insisted full of worry as she looked at all the people who knew the choreography of the song. Untroubled by her stiffness, he replied her by translating the lyrics of the song: "The only choice is to make a little escape with you. If you want to know what is going to happen, Let's escape first and we'll see later what is all about it"

Her eyes widened.

"Come'on Rukia… escape with me the night!" he added with a wide smile.

Pushed by an impulse she couldn't explain she followed him. Maybe it was his smile… his soft voice… or maybe she was just too much in love with him. He led her right in the centre of the dance floor… then he slowly took her hands and approached her to his body. Rukia looked at the crowd who was perfectly synchronizing on the choreography of the song and gasped nervously. "This is going to be a disaster." She stated mentally and lowered her gaze, staring at her feet.

"Just relax…and follow my steps…" he whispered in her years and pushed her In a pirouette. Then he pulled her back and he raised her in his arms. Before she knew was synchronizing with the crowd. Ichigo's were eyes glued on her. His lips were smiling while he was signing along with the crowd. Rukia slowly loosened her tightness … she didn't care anymore that she wearing her shiigami robe or the she didn't know the lyrics of the song. She had never been so relaxed in her entire life. She was so happy that she started to laugh… that she felt she could do anything that crossed her mind.

'Yes, Ichigo… I'll escape with you tonight!' the told herself and suddenly let go of his hand. He looked at her confused for a second, but then she saw her hiding in the crowd with a playful smile. He tried to approach her, but the she took a step back with the agility of a cat.

" You want to play, huh?" he asked with cocky grin when he finally understood her intentions.

She smiled again and disappeared in the dancing crowned. For a couple of minutes a tag game combined with a hide and seeks game took over them. She was having him, but was he was truly intrigued. Every time he thought that he got her, she was suddenly disappearing again and when he thought that he lost her from his sight, she was reappearing behind. But when he felt that more that playing he wanted to feel her body in his arms, he finally caught her and raised her above his shoulders in a pirouette. Her eyes widened surprised as she noticed from that height that she was in the middle of the dance floor and the entire crowd was dancing in circle around her. It all looked as if it was planned… a part of a choreography designed to make them the stars of the night. It was as if all the music, all the dancers, all the lights were there for them, only.

"This is a dream…" she whispered.

"If it's a dream let it never end" he replied as he pulled her close.

She closed her eyes for a second enjoying the warmth of his body. When she opened and looked down her, she noticed that the ground was no longer under her feet. She was up in the air. The scene and the crowd beneath her were so small and faraway. She knew that it was their reiatsu holding them suspended in the air, but in that moment, Rukia thought that the love gave her wings. She raised her eyes facing Ichigo and the way he looked at her made her heart stop. Those warm eyes… those eyes who looking only at her…

Ichigo slowly leaned over her. He knew it was the perfect moment. He knew it because his heart was no longer filled with questions. There was only Rukia in his eyes and she was no longer hesitating…

He approached…

She slightly lift on the tip of her toes…

And they kissed.

There was no ordinary kiss. It started softly… and slowly his arms climbed from her waist to her back… to her neck…until he took her cheeks in his palms. They broke off for a second looking intensely into their eyes. Then she put her arms around his neck and they kissed again. This time he pressed his lips harder, finally releasing all his hidden desires… this time she truly tasted him. It was the flavor of love. She thought that Ichigo tasted like the love itself… she closed her eyes and she didn't know how many minutes passed until they parted... but when they did, while they were looking into each other's eyes… while the blood was rushing in their veins, only one thought crossed their minds:

They were ready…

He took her down to the dance floor. Finding the way out of the crowd and out of the club, they headed to the opposite wing of the building. They passed beside something that looked like a reception… they climbed to the second floor and they stopped in front of a door. Ichigo opened the door and waited for her to to enter the room.

Before taking the first step, Rukia looked once again in Ichigo's eyes as if she was looking for a confirmation of her heart. And she received it: She wasn't scared… She wasn't worried… She was no longer a little girl…and above all, she loved him…

He closed the door and watched the was she was standing there, alone, in the middle of the room. His heart was beating strongly but he wasn't nervous. It was something more than that. Somehow he felt that he was in the right place, in the right moment… with the only woman he loved… He was no longer a little boy and she was the only one he desired.

And then his eyes widened surprised: she put a biding kido spell on the door, locking it. Slowly his surprise was replaced with a smile as he approached her.

In front of her he stopped for second and breathed her breath… then he softly put his lips on hers…again… and again…and again… and again.

So... do you want to know to know what follows the "again… and again…and again… and again" ? Hmmm...

Anyway...Until next time, you know it! Read and review! :)
