A/N: Sorry that I took forever to update, I had this stupid writers block, but as you can see, I got over it! claps anyhow, here's cappie 5:
Chapter Five:
Like any other morning, Kurosaki Isshin came bursting into Ichigo's room sending a kick right at his sons face, and like any morning, Ichigo would quickly kick his dad in the face before he even gets to him and throw him out of his room while yelling "don't barge into my room like that you idiot!"
It was those usual mornings, but Ichigo, for some off reason, enjoyed it, maybe it's because while in the Soul Society his dad wasn't there to interrupt his sleep early in the morning, but the last thing he would do was to admit he missed it. Because really, he didn't, he's just happy life is back to normal…….or at least somewhat normal.
Hearing all the ruckus, Rukia slowly slid the closet door open a few centimeters, enough for here to see if anyone other that Ichigo is there before she walks out. After making sure Isshin is gone, she slowly stepped out of the closet, obviously tired since she tripped on her own foot once she got onto the floor. Before her face reached the floor, Ichigo extended his strong arms and caught her just in time.
"Oi, what the hell is wrong with you, are you sick?" Asked Ichigo casually, not showing any signs of him being worried, maybe it's because he's not.
"Nothing, I'm just tired I guess" She simply replied while walked over to the window where the sun is shinning in.
knock knock
"Oi, Ichi-nii, Dad, Yuzu and I have to go to the clinic, it seems a bus got into a car accident and it seems pretty urgent, so we have to go, fix up your own breakfast ok?" asked Karin outside the door.
"Yeah, sure" and with that, Ichigo hear Karin running down the stairs in a very hurried fashion.
"Ichigo, what are we going to eat?"
"What do you want to eat? We have to cook since Yuzu is gone." Ichigo knew Rukia simply sucks at cooking, the only thing she was ever good at is eating, but thinking back to the last time they cooked together, things didn't end up all too bad, so he thought it would be okay.
"Umm…how about those yellow-ish, thin, circle things you put syrup on?"
Ichigo made a face of disbelief, how can she still not know what those are after eating them almost five times a week! "Rukia…they're called pancakes, this is about the ten-millionth time I told you that I think, are shinigami's suppose to have good memory?"
"Shut up, it's hard to remember English food names!" the small shinigami protested.

down at the kitchen……
"Here catch…" Ichigo threw Rukia a pack of pancake mix.
"Isn't this the stuff you make those pancake stuff with?" she asked while examining the package, curious how a bag of powder can turn into a pancake.
"Yeah, you try making it yourself"
"What? Ichigo…wouldn't it be better if you did it?" Rukia wasn't pleading, but she sounded like she was.
"No stupid, I'm not saying do it all by yourself, I'm going to teach you, if I let you do this by yourself, you'd probably burn my house down, and me with it!"
"What the hell are you suppose to mean by that!" And the bag of pancake mix went flying right at Ichigo's face, but thankfully, he caught it, without having the things explode into a big mess.
after 45 min……
"Did I ever tell you self-made food always tastes the best?" Rukia said in-between bites of her pancakes.
"Self-made? All you did was scoop the damn thing onto the plate, I'm the one who actually did everything!" Ichigo protested
She smiled, "at least I did something"
He rolled his eyes, for some reason, he had a feeling this was going to be a very long day. And from what happened last night, Rukia is pretty much his….girlfriend now..right? 'man..' he thought, 'why the hell am I stuck with a retard for girlfriend?……its all that bastard Renji's fault…HE talked me into this!'
Ichigo is Ichigo, now matter how much he doesn't want to admit it, he loves Rukia, deep deep inside, he knows, but he's not going to show it just yet, especially now that she was being annoyingly bitch-like.
The sound of running water can be peaceful at times, but not now…not when Ichigo is stuck washing the dishes alone…again! But on second thought, maybe Ichigo washing the dishes alone isn't too bad, at least no plates would be broken, right?
As Ichigo continued to wash the dishes in peace, Rukia comes in, an excited look spread across her face.
"Oi Ichigo! Ishida just called, he asked if we want to go on some double-date thing with him and Orihime to the movies, so I said we're going. By the way, what's this double-date thing?"
A plate dropped to the ground…and shattered into pieces.
"You WHAT?" Ichigo looked like he was going to rip his hair out.
"I told Ishida we're going…what's wrong?" She replied, absolutely not affected by his sudden outburst.
"Do you know what the hell a double-date means!" He was loosing his nerves, actually, Rukia always made him loose his nerves, but this time, it hurt his pride.
"no…." If anyone else looked at her right now, they would think she looks too innocent to be yelled at, but it was Ichigo, what do you expect?
"God Rukia…why not try asking before answering!"
"Ok fine, I'll ask right now. What is a double-date?" If Ichigo was a balloon, he would have gone 'pop' by now, but no worries…he's not. Though, technically, he still wanted to rip his hair out, isn't it a little too late to ask now?
"A double-date means, when two couples go out together." He sighed, yelling at her wouldn't help the situation, so why bother.
"Oh? Is that so? Well, then what's wrong with me agreeing to go? Are we not a couple after what happened last night? Or do you think this will hurt your oh-so-important pride?" The small shinigami asked while resting her hands on her hip.
He stuttered.. "Well…um…no….I mean..yes..I..ugh….HOW CAN I ANSWER TO ALL THOSE QUESTIONS AT ONCE!" He would have flushed by now, but…Kurosaki Ichigo does not flush.
Rukia raised an eyebrow, content with how she got him to stutter, proud of how she got him to crack. Sometimes, things like these can be so amusing.
So there they were, sitting in the movie theater, watching commercials while waiting for the movie to be played. Ishida and Orihime didn't do much questioning to the other couple, because they knew it's not going to be fun questioning these two since Ichigo would probably just piss off since his pride would be on the line, so they decided to keep quiet and just watch. Maybe watching the other couple was even more entertaining than watching the movie itself.
Halfway through the movie, when the ghost finally came out, Ichigo could see Orihime snuggling closer and closer to Ishida from the corner of his eye. Then he diverted his eyes from the fluffy couple to Rukia, who just sat there, with no expression on her face. He knows that Rukia won't be afraid of something like a scary movie, yet he won't mind if Rukia's afraid and needs some comforting and wants a hug of anything that a normal couple would do in a scary movie. But she wasn't normal, neither was he, which proceeds to the conclusion that they are not a normal couple.
After the movie, the four were standing at the front door of the theater, giving each other their goodbyes. Then the two couples walked off into different directions.
"Ichigo, how come Ishida and Orihime hold hands when they walk?" Rukia asked innocently.
"Isn't it obvious? Because they're a couple." He roughly replied.
"Oh…aren't we a couple?" She asked, as if she was hinting something.
"Ah…well…we…-" He didn't finish, Ichigo's never good with saying stuff like these, so instead of putting things into words, he just put them in action, and reached for Rukia's hand.
As she felt his large hand grab onto her small hand, her lips curled up, this is what she was aiming for, and she knew it would work since she knows Ichigo won't know what is the best way to reply to her questioning, the only thing she didn't know was that its easier then what she imagined.
So there they were, walking home together under the sunset, fingers intertwined with each other. The scene was perfectly romantic until a hell butterfly flew up to Rukia and landed on her free hand.
"What is it?" Ask the orange haired boy.
Rukia looked…happy, when she was looking down at the hell butterfly. "It's a message from nii-sama, he said he's coming to visit later tonight since he just finished off a mission in the next town. He also said that Renji told him about us and…" her eyes widened in horror "he wants to have a man-to-man talk with you about..ENTERING THE KUCHIKI FAMILY?"
"What the fuck?" Ichigo's eyes also widening in horror when he heard the news. "What the hell did Renji tell him about us? That bastard, it sounds like he told him we're going to get married or something, entering the Kuchiki house?"
Rukia herself was shocked, 'What did Renji tell nii-sama? God, that retard probably exaggerated the whole idea and made it sound like Ichigo and I are going to get married. I'll bet tonight, I'll have a damn lot of explaining to do to nii-sama. But I'm sure it should be ok, even thought he doesn't show it, I know nii-sama admires Ichigo.'
While Rukia was too busy thinking about what she's going to say to Bayakuya, Ichigo just stood there…pissing off at Renji about what he said to Bayakuya.

And so, that is how the romantic sunset and couple holding hands scene ended…
