Chapter Two:

Ichigo saw Rukia already standing at the park entrance, he then quickly ran up to her.

"Ichigo, what took you so long?" Rukia questioned

"Well, I had to tell Yuzu where I was going, then on the way I saw Karin and I have to explain it to her, and bla bla bla, hey, at least I got here." Ichigo sounded annoyed about the fact that Rukia questions him about practically everything.

"Whatever" Said Rukia while rolling her eyes, "Let's just go and meet up with Ishida"

So with that, the two walked into the park, and they saw two familiar figures under and big tree in the park. They were Ishida and Orihime.

"Oi, Kurosaki-kun, Rukia-chan! We're over here!" Orihime jumped in a very excited way once she saw the two.

"Hello Kuchiki-san, Kurosaki-kun, it's nice of you to show up, I got the two of you here beca-"Ishida was halfway through his sentence when Ichigo rudely cut him off.

"Cut the crap Ishida, what the hell do you want so early in the morning?" Ichigo seemed awfully rude today, his tone was making Ishida feel uncomfortable.

"Well..." Ishida stated as he pushed his glasses up. "Orihime and I wanted to let you two know something.

"Ooooo, first name basis now are we Ishida" Rukia smirked at him, while looking at the very embarrassed Orihime.

"Shut up Rukia." Said Ichigo roughly. "So, what the hell is it Ishida?" he eyed his suspiciously while asking.

"Well, you see went wanted you to know that we are…" Ishida stopped there in the middle of the sentence, having Ichigo and Rukia all confused looking. Ishida then took Orihime's hand and the two held their hands tightly and pretty much waved the holding hands in front of the two shinigami's face.

"Ah, I see, Ishida you little…how come I never saw any signs of it" Ichigo was smirking at his friend.

"Well, things, just happen." Orihime exclaimed quietly.

"Omg, that is so cute!" For some odd reason, Rukia was squealing, it might be the first time Ichigo hears a squeal from her. Both Ishida and Orihime blushed at Rukia's reaction.

"Well, when did it start?" Rukia, seems, very interested in the two's relationship.

"When we were still back in Soul Society" Orihime stated. "I promised Ishida I'll be his girlfriend if we make it back alive and so now, we're…"

"Ah, I see" Ichigo all the sudden butted in. "Ishida you're quite sneaky aren't ya?" Ishida simply looked away not wanting to say anything to such question.

"So, how's the chemistry between the two of you?" Orihime asked while eyeing Rukia is a way that made Rukia's cheeks glow red.

"Ahahaha she laughed hysterically, what are you talking about 'Hime, Ichigo and I are just friends, right?" Rukia elbowed Ichigo while shooting him a glare that says answer-yes-or-I'll-rip-your-heard-off

Knowing what Rukia wants him to do; he nodded sheepishly when inside he knows that isn't exactly the truth.

Orihime didn't seem too amused at the two's answer, but since she knows the real answer herself anyways, she decided it would be nice to not criticize the two.

Ishida once again pushed up his glasses. "Well, it's getting late." He then eyed Orihime, and then she started talking, as if she was reading what's on Ishida's mind. "Anyhow, Ishida and I are going to a movie, so, we'll see you guys around later!"

"Whatever, bye." Ichigo said coldly

"Bye" Rukia said while flashing them one of very super sweet smiles.

And with that, Ishida and 'Hime, held hands and walked away towards the park exit, leaving Ichigo and Rukia standing there in the empty park, alone.

The through the silence in the park, a beeping sound was heard from Rukia's pocket. It was her hollow detecting cell-phone that was beeping. (A/N: sorry! I don't know the name of it ')

"Where is it this time?" Ichigo asked right when she was about to tell him.

"It's around the next block, but Ichigo…something's weird about this hollow…" Rukia said with her brows tied in a knot. "It says here, that the power level is to high to be calculated…"

"Who cares about what that thing says, we'll just go and see for ourselves then."

Rukia nodded in agreement and the two ran off in the direction of the hollow.

When they got there, they saw a hollow standing there, but it wasn't any normal looking hollow, he was the shape of a human, with half of his face a hollow mask.

"Who the hell are you" Ichigo yelled roughly at the weird looking hollow,

"Why, I am DeeRoy, the Decimosexto Arrancar" Said that thing with a very sly smile on his face. "And you, boy, and girl, are in my way of ridding shinigami's" He gave the two a very dirty look.

"Hah, rid shinigami's, please don't make me laugh my ass off, you Arran-whatever, you have to get through the both of us first before you can even lay a finger on a shinigami." Ichigo wore a very competitive look on his face. Then Rukia turned to him, Ichigo reacted right when his eyes met hers, they both took out their gloves, and smashed their hands into the other's chest at the same time, resulting in the two's shinigami forms.

"O, I see the two of you are shinigami's, I almost thought you two were just kids with enough spiritual powers to see me. This is going to get fun." DeeRoy narrowed his eyes on the two.

"Oh yea, I'll bet you that." While Ichigo laid his hand on his zenpatkutoh, Rukia put her hands on his and stopped him.

"I'll take care of him Ichigo" She said calmly, "I feel like I haven't touched zenpatkutoh in ages." She gave him a confirming smile, and thus, Ichigo put his hands down knowing this was Rukia's turn to kick some hollow ass, or shall I say Arrancar ass.

DeeRoy launched at Rukia when she was still facing Ichigo, but with her fast reactions, she quickly took out her zenpatkutoh and blocked the attack.

"You are and utterly weak one, aren't cha?" DeeRoy said while slyly looking at Rukia.

"Oh, am I?"

Rukia slashed her sword at him but he all the sudden vanished.

"Where did he-" She didn't finish her sentence, since she all the sudden felt really cold claws on the back of her neck.

"Too slow" DeeRoy said quiet. Then the made a scratch down Rukia's shoulder making the floor under them crimson red.

Rukia didn't even winced at the pain; she looked coldly at DeeRoy who was now standing in front of her smirking. From behind, Ichigo was starting to get worried about Rukia's safety, but he didn't want to butt in because then that would make it seem like he thinks she's weak.

"I guess I under estimated you…" With that, a strong reiatsu started forming around Rukia, then in a split second, her zenpatkutoh turned white, with a white lace hanging off of it.

Ichigo eyes grew big as he saw the sight, her sword was…beautiful, he never seen the true form of her zenpatkutoh before. "Rukia! Your zenpatkutoh…"

"DeeRoy, you don't need to remember my name, but remember the name of my sword, for it will be what's going to kill you." While Rukia was talking, DeeRoy's eyes grew big, for he had under estimated her.

"Sode No Shirayuki" Rukia said with a very cold tone that sent shivers down DeeRoy's spines. (A/N: Sode No Shirayuki is the name of Rukia's soul slayer; it means White Snow's Sleeve. It's mentioned in chapter 201 of the manga)

"Rukia, your zenpatkutoh…" Ichigo stuttered the words out of his mouth, then he all the sudden hear a familiar voice behind him, he turned and looked and found Urahara standing there.

"Ah, Rukia's finally showing the true form of her zenpatkutoh, it's the first time you ever saw it, am I right Kurosaki-kun?" He asked the shocked looking Ichigo. Ichigo nodded his head, and Urahara continued.

"Sode No Shirayuki's true form of Rukia's ice-snow type zenpatukutoh, it is said to be the most beautiful zenpatkutoh ever seen in Soul Society, the entire sword is pure white, no one in soul society not even any captains has a pure white soul slayer, and do you agree with that Kurosaki-Kun, because I certainly do." "Yeah…it's…beautiful" Ichigo said with his full attention on Rukia, so he's not really sure what he's saying.

Urahara smiled under the shadow of his hat. "Kurosaki-kun…just stay back and watch the show."

Rukia, turned swiftly, then a white circle formed around DeeRoy, and the floor started turning to ice, then DeeRoy quickly jumped high up in the sky.

"Hah, pathetic shinigami, do you think the ability to freeze land would be useful when I'm all the way up here."

Rukia gave a little smile. "Oh, is that what you think."

Then, in a spilt second, the circle that was formed build up with ice, forming a big ice pole from the ground all the way up into the clouds with DeeRoy caught inside the ice tube.

What the hell? I never seen such an attack by a shinigami before, I never even seen a pure white zenpatkutoh before, how can she be so powerful, it's like she has the powers of a captain. DeeRoy thought to himself.

"I guess you once again under estimated me, you pathetic Arrancar." With that, the ice pole formed by Rukia's zenpatkutoh, shattered into millions of pieces and DeeRoy, was gone.

Rukia put her sword back and went back into her gigai. Seeing that she has defeated the Arrancar, Ichigo also went back to his gigai. Both in silent.

Then Urahara started talking, "My oh my Rukia, that was certainly impressive, your powers can be more or less compared to a captains."

"Cut the crap Urahara, Oi…Ichigo, lets go, I'm getting hungry" Rukia stated while turning to face Ichigo.

"Ok, sure, um, whatever." Ichigo was still a little busy thinking about what happened in the past hour or so.

"I'll see the two of you later" and with that, Urahara disappeared.

Ichigo and Rukia got back to the Kurosaki house hold, since Karin was out playing baseball with her friends and Yuzu and Isshin was at the clinic, Rukia was allowed to move freely around the house.

Ichigo was standing at the kitchen counter waiting for the water to boil so he can throw the noodles in. Then all the sudden, Rukia walked up behind him.

"Hey Ichigo, what are you cooking? Can I help?" Rukia asked, puzzled at what he was doing.

"Please Rukia, don't make me laugh, you…help? You'll probably burn down the house!" Ichigo said in a rather sarcastic way.

The little shinigami pouted, "Well, if you teach me then I won't burn down the house."

"Fine fine, here…" he handed her the noodles, "the water is boiled already, now put that in" Following his instructions, Rukia did as he said.

"Now after 3 minutes or so, when the noodles spread apart, add the seasoning in." He then handed her the seasoning pack that came with the noodles.

Ichigo stood behind Rukia, looking from behind her shoulder; he could see her slowly dumping in the seasoning and then taking some chopsticks to poke at the stuff inside the bowl.

Rukia then got two bowls and was ready to put the noodles in the bowls. She used the chopsticks to put up the noodles, but she accidentally touched the steaming hot pot with the back of her hand, hearing giving a little wince at the pain, Ichigo quickly took her hand to examine where she got burnt.

Rukia felt like her cheeks were burning, was she blushing? No way…not about some little thing like this…or, would she?

"Ichi...go, I'm ok, really, I ugh…I-"

"Just be quiet Rukia" He took a small ice pack and laid it on the back of her hand. "You can't do anything without having me to worry about you can't you?" Ichigo looked at her, his eyes seeming to show a sense of…worry?

"Back then, that asshole DeeRoy, he seemed powerful, I thought you couldn't handle yourself, I was worried, but I guess your ability is much greater than I thought" He confessed.

Rukia held a puzzled look on her face. He was…worried about me? No no, Rukia, it's Ichigo, why the hell would he ever tell you he worries about you, you must of heard it wrong. ……But…he really did say it, he really did. The little fight with herself went on in Rukia's head for quite awhile until Ichigo snapped his fingers in front of her face.

"Oi, snap out of it Rukia, are you that traumatized hearing me say I was worried." This time, Ichigo was frowning.

"Ah, no, I was just ugh-"She looked over at the noodles. "Ahhh, oh no! I totally forgot about the noodles….now they're all shriveled up!"

Ichigo gave a very annoyed look. "Great! Now we get to do this all over again!" God, he thought. Was she too busy being shocked at what I said? Damnnit damnnit damnnit! I should never say things like that ever again, Ichigo, you're you, you don't say sappy things,argggg! Ah, yes, this time, it's Ichigo who has a little fight with himself inside his head.

To be continued……

A/N: Ok, that was not the best place to cut if off "" but forgive me, I have no idea where to end it, so I guess, I just stopped there since it at least finished a thought. Anyhow, a lot of the fighting part was derived from the manga chapter 201 and so on, so if you read the manga you might of found that part kind of boring…gomen! Anyways, that's it for this chappie "
