Upon hearing Renji call her name and the loud smash, Rukia ran out of her room to see what was going on. "Renji what happened? Ichigo? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Oh, I thought, he..the smash..and..." Ichigo trailed off.

"He said you left your wallet in his car," Renji said as he tossed Rukia her wallet.

"Oh thanks...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE DOOR?!" Rukia asked in utter disbelief as she saw their door was currently on the ground.

"Ask carrot top why the fuck he busted in here?" replied an annoyed Renji.

"Why you," Ichigo started as he glared at Renji.

"Ugh! Let's go, you're fixing our door," Rukia said as she dragged Ichigo out of her apartment.


Once they were in the car driving towards the hardware store, Rukia asked, "Seriously Ichigo why the hell would you knock down our door?"

"It's not like I did it for the hell of it! I took your wallet to your apartment and your boyfriend answered the door. He looked kinda pissed when I handed him the wallet and then he slams the door in my face. The next thing I hear is him yelling your name followed by a loud smash. I thought he was trying to hit you or something. Sorry for looking out for you," he ended sarcastically.

Rukia let out a sigh and said, "First of all Renji would never hurt me."

"How the hell am I gonna know that if I've never met the guy," interrupted Ichigo.

"And second of all, I don't have a boyfriend."

"You don't?" asked an all too eager Ichigo.

"No, and I really wish everyone would stop assuming Renji was my boyfriend."

"Then why are you two living together?"

"Maybe cuz rent is expensive as hell, with all my studying and with my part-time job I wouldn't be able to afford living on my own. And because he's the only family I have. Is that enough? Or do you need more reasons?"

"Look, I'm sorry ok," Ichigo said sincerely.

"Fine, I guess I can forgive this idiotic incident since it was filled with good-intent," replied Rukia. And with that Ichigo knew that he and Rukia were once again on good terms.


Ichigo finally knows Renji is not her boyfriend. Now he has to figure out how to make a move on Rukia ;P

Til Next Time!
