Oh, Fruit Punch, to answer your question without giving anyone else spoilers, yes, that's the reason why the title is Forget Me Not. (:


"Girls day out?" , Rukia asked when Orihime cheered out the words.

"Yeah! Just you, me, Tatsuki, Chizuru and Michiru!" Orihime turned to Rukia and smiled.

"Lets start buy grabbing smoothies!" Chiziru grabbed onto Orihime's arm and squealed.

"To Honey Cafe!" Michiru jumped and started skipping ahead.

"Yeah!" , Tatsuki shouted and grabbed Rukia's arm running after their friends.


"Shirou-kun?" Hinamori openly walked into Hitsugaya's room.

"Shirou-kun?" she asked again, after not getting a reply.

"Shirou-kun!" she yelled, opening his bathroom door.

"Shir...ou...-kun?" Hinamori found Hitsugaya sitting in his bathtub, naked. If it wasn't for the sudsy water, she would of seen 'everything'. Hinamori let out a shriek before closing the door, "Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry! There's knocking for a reason! I'm so sorry! "

After he had her footsteps fading away, Hitsugaya sat in the tub, speechless. His jaw dropped and his body was frozen.


"So ladies, lets talk about our love lives." Michiru said after taking a long sip on her smoothie.

"Oh! Me and Orihime have a lot to tell!" , Chizuru squealed again and grabbed onto Orihime's waist.

"We do?" ask the puzzle girl.

"Of course!" Chizuru cupped Orihime's face with her hands.

Tatsuki whacked Chizuru away with a disgusted face, "She meant real love lives!"

"What are you talking about? " Chizuru sobbed back.

"Speaking of which. How about you and Ichigo, Rukia?" Orihime turned to the raven hair girl and smiled.

Rukia choked on her smoothie, "W-w-what..?"

"Well, you two seem to be together a lot, and you two left during the dance and fireworks! Kind of makes us suspicious." Orihime giggled.

"Well..what about us?"

"Do you like him?" Michiru stuck her face in front of Rukia's.

Rukia didn't know what to say, should she tell them the truth? Or lie? What was the truth?

"Well?" , even Tatsuki was curious.

"I...I..guess so.." the small girl slowly said.

"No way! Are you two like..dating?" Michiru chirped up again.

"I..don't know."

"What does that mean!", Tatsuki demanded.

"I don't know?"

"Oi, Rukia, you're confusing!"

Rukia gave an innocent chuckle and smiled. 'Maybe if the guy I liked wasn't so confusing..' she told herself.


Hinamori was pretty shaky after that incident earlier.

"Hinamori."

Hinamori jumped and dropped the item in her hands.

"Hinamori...are you okay?"

Hinamori turned to the voice "Oh! Hey Matsumoto! Yeah! You just scared me a little. Nothing too impor- ahh! Shirou-kun!" she have a little shriek when she saw Hitsugaya coming in after the woman. Hitsugaya had an annoyed look on his face.

"Something wrong?" he asked looking at her, saying it as it nothing happened.

"U-u-uh...N-n-nothing!"

He gave her a strange look. Matsumoto looked back and forth between the young children blinked.

"Am I...missing something..?", the blonde started to ask.

"Oh, she saw me in the tub, nothing much."

Hinamori eyes widen. She couldn't believe it, he's acting like nothing happened. "Nothing much! NOTHING MUCH? Do you know how embarrassed I am?"

"You're embarrassed? Who was the naked one?"

"I still walked in on you!"

"Not my fault you didn't knock."

"Arrge!"

"Hey, at least you didn't see anything. Did you...?"

"No! Oh my god! No! Not at all! No! No! No!" she started to panic again. Hinamori stopped when she heard a laughter. She turned to Matsumoto. There we have Matsumoto, laughing her head off.

"Hina...bathtub, Hitsu…. ohohoho!" the woman started laughing again that she couldn't speak.

"..." Hitsugaya was now embarrassed, thanks a lot to Matsumoto.


Words spread around like wild fire. It has just been a few days since Rukia admitted that she liked Ichigo and everyone already started rumors.

Ichigo's with Rukia!

Yeah, they're totally dating!

I heard they make out a lot! That's why they keep running off!

They look really cute!

They look really queer!

Rukia's soooo much shorter than Ichigo!

Who's...Rukia?

"ICHIGOOO!" Keigo loudly shouted when he saw his friend. "I heard you are dating Rukia!"

"So did half the country."

"Is it true?" Mizuiro butted in.

"Is what true?"

"That you're dating Kuchiki-san!" Ishida shouted.

"... I don't know."

"What does that mean!" the blue haired boy shouted again.

"That I don't know."

"How do you not know?"

"I don't know what she thinks."

"WHAT!"

"What?" Ichigo asked calmly.

"WHAT!"

"...Okay, that's getting me nowhere." Ichigo said flatly.

"Well, why don't ask her?" Mizuiro calmly asked.

"What?" Ichigo looked confused.

"CAN WE PLEASE STOP SAYING 'WHAT'!" Keigo screamed.

"She's right there." Mizuiro pointed across where they were at Rukia, Tatsuki and Orihime.

"WHAT!" Ichigo suddenly jumped.

"OH MY GOD!" Keigo screamed and pounded his head to the wall nearby.

"HEY! KUCHIKI-SAN!" Ishida yelled loud enough so they girls can hear.

"HEY! WAIT! NO!" Ichigo covered his friend's mouth, but it was too late. Rukia already looked up over at them.

"Hey, Rukia, they're calling you, want to go over there?" Orihime asked, looking over to Rukia.

"Um..sure.."

"Eh, they probably just want to flirt with you. Boys." Tatsuki shook her head before following her two friends.

"KUCHIKI-SAN!" Keigo smiled dumbly at her.

"What?" she asked.

"OH DEAR LORD!" Keigo said, turning back to his wall.

"What's with him..?" Rukia blinked.

"He's always that retarded." Tatsuki shrugged. "Did you guys want something with Rukia?"

"Yeah! We want to know if she's d-" Ichigo placed his hand over Ishida's mouth before he got more out.

"If she's...?" Tatsuki continued.

"If she's dating Ichigo." Mizuiro finish. Ichigo dropped Ishida and sat down, putting his head between his hands and groaned.

"WHAT?" Rukia half yelled.

"Oh...my..god.." Keigo was about mad around now.

"I-I-I-I-I..." she started to stammer but failed to say anything.

"Of course she is! Right, Rukie-chan!" Orihime gave a wide grin.

"Rukie-chan? Since when did we call her Rukie-chan?" Tatsuki blinked. Orihime kept grinning.

"I-I..I...wait..what?" Rukia still had nothing to say.

"No need to be shy, Kuchiki-san!" Ishida smiled and patted her shoulder.

Rukia was still speechless. She didn't know what to say. What could she say? Sure, he was the one who kissed her, but she also kissed back. Wait! No. No.. Rukia shook her head in confusion.

"Kuchiki-san, something wrong?" Mizuiro asked, staring at the frantic girl.

"O-oh! No! Just..an itch.."

"And you shake your head instead of scratching it..?"

"...Eheheh.." Rukia smiled and gave and innocent look.

"So, the question." Ishida got back on subject.

"What?" Rukia asked.

"You and Ichigo! Are you two dating!"

"What!"

"STOP SAYING WHAT!" Keigo screamed again.

Rukia looked at Ichigo. Then back at everyone else who was eyeing her for her answer. She just shrugged.

"You don't know either!" Ishida asked.

"Either?" Rukia asked.

"Ichigo's confused too." Ishida explained. Ichigo kicked his leg. Rukia stared at Ichigo.

Ichigo's glared went from Ishida to Rukia. His glare soften and he just sort of stared back at her. Rukia didn't look away this time. She stared right back. This went on for a while before Keigo interrupted them.

"Yoohoo! Woohoo! Earth to Ichigo and Rukia!" Keigo started wave his hands franticly in front of the two. Rukia snapped and blinked. Ichigo looked as if he was about to kill Keigo.

"Well, doesn't look like I'm getting an answer." Ishida sighed and pushed up his glasses.
