Ten Facts about him
There are several things I've learned over time about living with Ichigo, but it seems his family still hasn't learned one of these yet seemingly, and I've mastered the art of taming the animal I call Ichigo. Of course, if he really was an animal, I'd be ridiculed like hell for falling in love with that animal. Of course, it's hard to mistake the Ichigo species for anything else due to his bright orange hair.
The first thing I learned easily enough was the time he likes to be in bed by, that means the time he just likes to lay there with me next to him. Of course that's only when his folks aren't home and we didn't just get over a huge fight, even in that case, he still wants to be in bed by a certain time. Usually on weekdays Ichigo gets to sleep at around ten in the afternoon, rarely earlier though. Most of the time we get to sleep at around the same time during those days, but there are those situations where we have to go out, wether it be a meeting or killing hollows. If we get plan to get home late, we let the soul candy take our places, even if it hurts Ichigo's pride. Though he also learned to keep the window opened just in case my cell rang and I had to kill a hollow.
Of course there are those times when he closes the window after I leave, and when I get back, I smack my face square into it, and he just laughs. Of course he gets his just deserves when Chappy throws him out the window and lets me in. He's had to sleep outside often because of that.
The next thing I learned was how to sleep in the same bed with him. It just happens to be that once a month, Yuzu needs my mattress (which is in his closet) to clean. Rendering me for one week, in his bed alongside with him. At first for him it was dead awkward, I didn't really mind at all really. But for a few nights, and mornings he'd either wake up on the floor, me on the floor, or him staying awake all night watching me sleep (the last one is cute.) But after a while he got used to me sleeping next to him in his small bed. Surprisingly, he doesn't move as much as I thought he would when he sleeps and apparently neither do I. (Probably we're both used to sleeping in limited space) And then there are those awkward moments when I wake up and he's holding onto me so tightly, I have to throw him out the window. But that's besides the point as well.
When we go out at night, we always have an argument about who gets to fight the hollow sometimes, which then again, always turns out into the hollow impaling itself into Zangetsu. So after a while we made a plan on who gets what kind of hollow. I take the faster and smarter ones, while Ichigo would take the stronger ones. And every so often we would have the kill the really strong ones as a team. But then he always blames me for giving him frost bite. Not my fault he doesn't know my zanpakuto yet.
The way he fights is easy to get used to, he fights off raw power and not much else. If he sees the sword coming at him, he block. If he sees an opening, he attacks. Not much more then that. But that also leads me to have fun sparing with him, which I have a tendency to win only out of pure strategy that I can formulate. Not to mention he can't keep up with me without using his Bankai. And he always forgets I have chappy with me. (Shut up, I know it's cheating, but do I care? Not really!)
Of course, there's always awkward moments between me and him, which have seem to have taken a dive to the, lets say, more sensual side? (Mental note: Kill everyone at R&D for making the hormones in this damn gigai the same as the age it presents) Which then, while really romantic at times, does get embarrassing even for me. The way he handles them (when caught that is) is mainly by blaming me right off the bat, or the closest person of relation to him. Which then I always kick him in the spot where it counts, then proceed to, if I may use this Ichigo-inspired term, kick the shit out of him. Then there are those times when we're in private, he handles them well, too well at times though. We've already had our experiences of kissing anywhere and everywhere seemingly; Movie theaters when our hands accidently (or so he says) touch, or when we're trying to get into the phone booth and we get in at the same time, then there was the time when we were at the very back of a bus and there wasn't enough room, so I had to sit on his lap. (It's funny getting mistaken for a married couple though!)
Anyways, enough of those embarrassing moments, another thing that's important to know if your me (Well, I highly doubt your me. But that's besides the point) is when you need rescuing, you get rescuing. No matter how much you say 'no, don't do it, I'll be fine' he'll still do it. But that's not a bad thing necessarily. Why I remember the time way back when he went to the soul society, got the place up all in an uproar, all in the process, nearly getting kill four times. An idiot I guess, but a sweet idiot.
Between me and Ichigo, there is one massive difference between our wardrobes, he likes tight clothing and I can't stand it. I'm much more the type for a skirt then pants. While he's just the other way around. But I guess it doesn't matter, since whenever people mock him for his type of clothing, he usually gives them a death glare, and if they keep on doing it, he beats them up. Although there are the times when that one guy, tall, ugliest hair ever I've ever seen and thinks he's all that. But it doesn't help that the same idiot either A. Hits on me, or B. Finally realizes that I'm Ichigo's girlfriend and then tires to kidnap/hurt me. And by the way, I'm not paying for his hospital bills. (Ichigo knows that I'm not nice when people try to hurt me)
One thing people don't really know about Ichigo is that sometimes he is a bit over protective, not that I don't mind and all it's just that he's always complaining about me being around him a lot, but yet he still follows me around, making sure I'm safe. I swear, sometimes, it's just plain old annoying.
But Ichigo is Ichigo, and if there's one fact I know that I'm sure of, is that he cares for me. Believe me when I say this, he isn't afraid to goto hell and back (he actually did once) just to rescue me, or save me from something. Of course, he still has a long way to go before anything happens. (I could be wrong, I just say that.) Now that I'm finally done with this, I need to go back into the mysterious juice box.
"ICHIGO!"
