Yeah, if you've notice, the rating at changed to T for a while, and before this chapter, nothing that serious happens that actually needs to T rating, until this one. :p

If you didn't know, I have chapters 16-20 sitting just on my desktop. No Ally, just because I know you in real life, doesn't mean you get to read them.

Senx2, waaaah. What are you talking about? The previous chapter is the second longest so far! ;o; Yeah, it did run quite fast though, hmm?

Just like they promised, Tatsuki and her friends spent the rest of the week with her. From rollerblading on the beach to water balloon fights. Food fights in the kitchen while attempting to cook, sleepovers, and so forth.

Today was the last day for fun, since the next day, Kuchiki Rukia was going back to America. Just as she promised when she was first here, Rukia took Hinamori and Hitsugaya to the amusement park with her friends.

"Guys! Lets go in the Haunted Mansion!" Mizuiro pointed to a large building with screaming people coming out of it. Everyone ran in line and took their seats to their 'assigned partners' that got that morning to keep the large group from slowing themselves down.

Chizuru clung onto Orihime assuring her that she was going to fight off any monsters that gets her. Tatsuki watched strangely with Michiru and Keigo sobbed because he was stuck with Mizuiro instead of a girl. Ishida partnered with Chad with leaves Rukia to Ichigo since Hinamori and Hitsugaya didn't know many of the people there.

While going thought the rides, Rukia sighed as the fake plastic things jumped at her. As the ride came to an end, a gust of air blew. Rukia yelped, shocked and backed into Ichigo. She mentally slapped herself for being stupid and mumbled out a 'Sorry'.

Hinamori, was also quite shocked by the air the machine blew to shock the riders. She clung onto Hitsugaya and shrieked. Hitsugaya covered his left ear and looked over to Hinamori, who was still on him. When the ride came to an end, she finally let go and was shaky to get out of the seat.

"Hinamori!" Rukia called her to the food parlor.

"Yes?" Hinamori followed the girl. "What's that?"

"Cotton candy."

"Oh! That's right, I've seen those before. Never got to ate them, Matsumoto said they were unhealthy and fattening. "

"No one's going to know, and it's just today." Rukia smiled.

"Well…"

"C'mon!"

"Oh, fine!" Hinamori took a piece and put it into her mouth. "Oh! It vanished!"

Rukia laughed, remembering the first time she tried it. "Yeah, it'll do that."

"Now… those rollercosters… " Rukia smiled deviously.

"Oh, no! They look dangerous!"

"Nah, that's what I thought, c'mon!"

So once again, people were clinging onto one another, screaming on top of their lungs. Chizuru on Orihime just because she's always is. Keigo and Mizuiro nearly cried on each other, Ishida desperately held onto his glasses. Rukia eventually shrieked on top of her lungs again, gripping onto the handle bars. Ichigo, himself, had to keep himself from screaming and tightly grip the handle bars too. Hinamori nearly killed her lungs screaming and Hitsugaya's too by clinging on too tight.

The rest of the day pretty much went like that, one on another, screaming. Keigo having to throw up now and then.

Lunch time came late for the young teens because of the rides and long walks. It was practically dinner time when they ate.

"What's this?" Rukia asked when Tatsuki held the her "dinner" in front of her.

"…A corn dog."

"…What? What is it made of?"

"…Bread and meat?"

"But it's call-"

"Yeah, it's hard to explain, but it's okay to eat."

"How can you not know what one is?" asked Keigo, slightly confused.

"She's a princess, she eats differently things" Tatsuki said with a little laugh. Rukia blushed. She felt like she stuck out a lot.

"Just try it!" Tatsuki reassured her.

Rukia nodded and took a bite. It was… strange… Salty but the so called "bread" made it somewhat sweet.

"How is it?"

"Quite strange… but not bad." Rukia smiled.

After the meal was put aside, things got dark and everyone just went around playing the fair-games.

"Arrg!" Rukia heard Keigo groaned as he failed to hit his target. She laughed softly at that and continued to walk around. She saw Hitsugaya and Hinamori going on slow rides together. She laughed to herself again when she saw Hitsugaya's face as he ride on a pony on the Merry-go-Round.

Then she spotted a certain someone.

Ichigo.

She advanced towards him.

"Hey."

She looked as he turned.

"Hmm?"

'That's it? That's all you're going to say?' Then she mentally scolded herself remember she was the one that approached him.

"What's.. up?"

"Nothing."

He turned back to looking at whatever he was before she came. Rukia walked next to him and stared at the direction he was.

"Wow…" The sight took her breath away. The city lights. It was the same in New York, maybe even better. But it was noisy in New York. As much as you tried to enjoy the view, the sounds will give you a headache.

"My mom used to bring me up here."

"Huh?"

"When I was younger. She would put me in her lap and let me look out at the scenery."

"I see… Must have been nice."

Ichigo chuckled to himself, "Yeah…"

Rukia was pretty much lost in thought. She never met her parents. Her real ones. Byakuya's parents… were almost never around… She sighed and closed her eyes.

Rukia gasped, she felt arms around her. She looked down and saw hands on her waist. She was about to turn her head until she felt his face in her hair.

"I'll miss you…" she heard him murmured into her hair.

"What..?" Rukia whispered.

"When you go back to America." He explained.

Rukia lifted her hands and placed them on his.

"I'll… miss you too…" she quietly said.

"I hope so…"

Rukia's heart was about to burst out of her chest. His voice was so low…so deep… so... passionate.

She felt him take a deep breath, breathing in her scent.

Ichigo laced his hand with hers and held her closer. Burying his face deeper into her hair, he breathed in her scent. After a while, he turned her around and gazed into her eyes.

Rukia felt weak, she didn't know what to do. Nothing like this happened to her before. She just did what her body… her heart told her to do. She placed her hands on his chest and looked back at him.

Ichigo leaned forward and captured her lips in a deep kiss. He tightens his hold on the small body and ran his hand down her and rested it on thigh. Rukia let out a gasp and he took this chance to dart his tongue into her mouth and licked her bottom lip. He felt her lean up, pressing harder against him. Ichigo brushed against her lips, feeling her hot breath on his upper lip. Ichigo broke the kiss and traced her jaw line with his lips. He continued brushing his lips against her as he felt her shiver. Stopping at her neck, he took her skin between his teeth and bit down.

Rukia gasp and leaned completely against him, she couldn't support herself anymore. She felt him lick the teeth mark that he left and her body shook. She didn't know why, was it from the pleasure? Was it from the intensity? Or was it just the moment and atmosphere right now? She slipped and arm around his neck for more support while keeping the other one on his chest. She placed her head next to the arm that was on his chest and breathed in deeply as she felt his head resting on her's.

"Aww..' a female voice whispered and she watched the two.

"How do you always seem to be there when those two are together?" came a male voice.

"I have my ways, Shirou-kun."

"You mean stalking?"

"Shirou-kun!" Hinamori quietly yelled before turning back to the couple that were in each other's arms.
