Please read, it's important.

Some of you read "Growing up with you" which is my other fanfic, in which Orihime is a good girl in love with Uryuu, well… in "My little genie" I'm not going to be nice with her, so if you do not want to see her unhappy or as the villain you should stop reading this fanfic, don't get me wrong I really like her… but I want her far away from Ichigo as possible.

Well, that's all, enjoy!


Chapter 2.

"Of redheads and flat screens."


Rukia was humming along with the music that was playing from the radio.

She was feeling happy, Kon was sleeping on her lap while Ichigo was driving towards the city. She smiled while looking outside the car's window, she couldn't wait to start enjoying her freedom, like learning how to ride a bike, finally being able to move around without the need of a lamp, wearing nice and comfortable clothes like her sister and so on…

Ichigo on his side was sulking.

He was pretty sure that Byakuya wanted to make him regret his decision of taking care of Rukia at all costs.

Before leaving the beach house Byakuya told them that if anyone were to ask about Rukia they would have to answer that she was Byakuya and Hisana's little sister, Ichigo didn't have a problem with that, after all it was completely true, the problem came when Byakuya told them that to explain where Rukia came from they would have to say how she spent almost of her life back in a convent in Norway, and now that the she was back she was looking to settle down in college to start living outside the walls of a prison of nuns.

Ichigo wasn't amused.

While it was a good lie, after all how else would they explain the sudden appearance of a young girl on their lives?, Ichigo couldn't help but notice how anyone with a sensitive sense of decency would frown at him. It would look as if he was taking advantage of the youngest, and the most innocent, member of the Kuchiki clan.

Damn it.

Byakuya was doing it on purpose but this was a battle that he wouldn't win.

He would prove him how he was capable of taking care of a girl without problem, besides he was her "master", whatever that meant, and he still needed to think about what he wanted as a second wish.

He sighed.

"Are you mad?" Rukia asked suddenly, after noticing his expression.

"Not really" Ichigo answered "why do you ask?"

Rukia shrugged while sinking into the leather seat.

"Well…" she said "believe it or not I'm happy to be with you."

Ichigo half smiled.

It was good to know that she didn't feel bad, or trapped, by being tied with him for life.

"But you don't seem happy" she said while scratching a spot behind Kon's ears "I mean… I know that it must be hard to…"

"Don't say that" Ichigo stopped her "I'm… well, I don't mind having you around honestly, in fact Byakuya wanted you to stay with him, he is your brother after all, but I insisted."

Rukia smiled at him.

"Really?!" she asked.

Ichigo nodded.

"Well, I'm your master so I thought that it was okay" he said "besides, Byakuya is always busy and Hisana-san spends most of her time with him."

Rukia raised an eyebrow at him.

"It would be good to get used to this world before deciding where do you want to live" Ichigo said "and I have extra space."

Rukia nodded understanding.

"Won't your family mind?" she asked.

Ichigo chuckled and Rukia thought right there how she wanted to make him smile more often, he looked good when he wasn't all serious.

"I live alone" he explained "I have an apartment near the office, my father owns a clinic in the city where he lives with my sisters, they visit often and I go to visit them too."

Rukia noticed how he didn't mention his mother but she didn't ask.

"Then it's settled" she said "I'll stay with you until I decide what I want to do" she made a pause "before going back to the lamp."

Ichigo hit the brakes, a little too fast, and looked at her.

"Why would you go back to the lamp?" he asked her, frowning.

Rukia shrugged and looked aside.

"Well…" she said "after you get your third wish you'll no longer need me."

Ichigo ran a hand through his hair exasperated.

"Midget" he said "I just met you I'm not sending you back to the fucking lamp, not now… in fact I'm not sending you back ever."

Rukia's eyes widened.

"But…!" she tried to say but Ichigo stopped her.

"Listen" he said "I talked with Byakuya, and he agreed with me, you deserve better so as my third wish I'll set you free, for real this time, so you can enjoy any kind of life you chose."

Rukia couldn't believe her ears.

"You promise?" she asked hopeful.

Ichigo smirked at her.

"I fucking promise Midget." He said.

Rukia thanked God that the car wasn't moving, because she couldn't help it, she threw herself at him to hug him with all her strength, she ended up sitting on his lap while saying over and over again "thank you!" and while Ichigo wasn't in the most comfortable position he didn't want to stop her.

He patted her back, while trying to ignore the way her breath on his ear gave him goosebumps, or the way her petite form was on top of him.

The midget was going to be the death of him.


"Are you sure about what you're saying?" the brown haired man asked, a mean smirked was plastered on his face "as you know we tried to capture the first one and…"

The blue haired man, although he could still be considered a boy because of his young age, sneered at him.

"I know what I saw" he said "but, after I went back to check the ugly shit was nowhere to be found."

A heavy sigh escaped from the other man's mouth.

"He does quite a good work protecting them, but don't worry…" he said "now that you finally got a job inside his enterprise you should be able to look for it more freely."

The blue haired man nodded.

"When I do that…" he said.

"She'll be yours to use as you please" the other man promised "after I get my wishes, of course."

Both men smirked.


The first thing Rukia did when Ichigo showed them their bedroom, because she refused to sleep alone on the guest's room, was to throw herself at the bed with a smile.

"All of your beds are this comfortable?!" she asked with a smile while hugging one of his pillows.

Ichigo lived in a nice building near downtown, his apartment was on one of the top floors and Rukia loved the view. The apartment had a master bedroom, with a bathroom and a walk-in-closet, a guest's room with a single bed, a living room and a kitchen but what Rukia loved the most was the balcony, it had a perfect view of Karakura town.

Ichigo walked towards his closet to put on something more comfortable and to ignore the way Rukia seemed to be way too happy to be on his bed, it had been a long way towards home and he needed something to eat and a good nap.

"I'm really tall so I need a bed big enough" he explained "unlike you, midgets don't need much space."

Rukia tossed a pillow at him but he avoided it easily.

"I'm going to take a shower" he said "we can order something to eat later."

"Sounds good" Rukia said smiling and Kon, after making sure that Ichigo was inside the bathroom, took that moment to jump on the bed.

"Nee-san!" he said "this isn't right! You should sleep here while he goes to the other room."

Rukia blinked.

"Why?" she asked confused "this is his home, I cannot let him to sleep elsewhere."

Kon crossed his arms stubbornly.

"He's probably a pervert!" the plushie said "what if he takes advantage of you while you're sleeping?!"

Rukia chuckled.

"Kon" she said with a smile "he doesn't seem like that type of guy, besides, Nii-sama trusts him and I can take care of myself" she nodded proudly "I still have my Kidō."

Kon sighed.

It was probably the magic between the genie and the master but Rukia seemed to trust Ichigo, a lot, and while Kon wasn't happy about it, he couldn't help but to feel grateful towards the orange haired weirdo, he had set his Nee-san free and he hadn't ask for anything, not a single wish, but Kon had been there every single time that a new human would come, ask for selfish and stupid things, and then leave Rukia forgotten.

He wasn't going to let that happen again.

He had pretended to be asleep while they were on the car but he had heard everything, Ichigo had promised to give her complete freedom later on, and he was going to make sure that he kept that promise, no matter what.

The bell rang and Rukia ran to open the door.

Kon huffed.

He would have to have a serious talk with Ichigo later.


When Abarai Renji rang the doorbell of Ichigo's apartment, although there was no need to considering how he had his own key, they were best friends and neighbors after all, he was expecting the orange haired man to open and greet him then he would let him in so they could drink beer and watch television until it was super late at night. It was their tradition of the weekends, males needing bonding time after all.

That's why when a short, petite, raven haired young girl opened the door and looked at him with widened eyes he couldn't help the surprise.

"Uhm…" he said awkwardly "is Ichigo at home?" he asked.

The girl crossed her arms defensively and looked at him warily.

"Considering how you and Ichigo seem to love striking hairstyles…" she said observing his red hair "I'm going to suppose that you are either brothers or friends."

Renji gaped.

"We're friends" he said stupidly "and you are…? Please tell me that you're not one of his one night stands, please tell me that he's alive, I tried to warn him about how casual sex wasn't safe but…"

Rukia blinked.

"That word!" she said and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him inside the apartment, he was taken aback by her sudden action so he fell on his butt quite painfully, she then proceed to close the door and turned to look at him "you have to explain that to me!"

Renji blinked several times confused.

"What?"

"Sex" she said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world "I need to know what sex is."

Renji was starting to wonder if this girl came from a convent… or a mental asylum, probably both.

"Sorry" he said looking at her from his spot on the floor "but I have a girlfriend."

Rukia raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"What about it?" she asked "you just have to explain."

Renji shook his head.

"I'm sort of old fashioned, okay?" he said "I only talk about those kinds of things with my girlfriend, is… well, my father used to say that it was to show respect."

"Oh" she said as if understanding and took a seat in front of Renji on the floor "so, if I want Ichigo to explain to me what this sex thing is I should become his girlfriend?"

Renji scratched the back of his head awkwardly, he wasn't sure about what she was trying to say or ask, but he could see how the girl was really curious.

"Well… yeah" he said finally "you can't go on and try to talk with strangers about this."

Rukia nodded.

"Thank you" she said sincerely and extended her hand "my name is Rukia, what's yours?" she asked with a smile.

Renji smiled back and shook her hand.

"Abarai Renji" he said.

"Rukia…" Ichigo called while walking to where she was "what are you…?" he stopped talking when he noticed how his genie and his best friend were talking on the floor "what are you doing here Renji?"

Renji shrugged and stood up.

"I came because I wanted to drink beer with you" he said "I wanted to know how the party at the beach went but Rukia here greeted me."

Ichigo nodded and looked at Rukia.

"You shouldn't open the door to strangers" he said "what if it was a burglar?"

Renji snorted.

"Ichigo, I know it's hard for you but don't be an idiot" Renji said "a burglar wouldn't ring the doorbell."

Ichigo frowned.

"Point taken" he said "anyways, make yourself comfortable, I'll order some food."

Renji smirked.

"Is Rukia going to join us?" he asked.

Ichigo huffed.

"She lives here from now on" at Renji's widened eyes he said quickly "I'll explain everything after I get some alcohol in my system."

Renji chuckled.

Apparently Ichigo was up to something with the raven haired girl.

"Oh Ichigo" she said "can you order Chinese food? I always wanted to try it."

"Sure" Ichigo said.

"Oh!" she said before both boys could go to the living room "that reminds me, can I also be your girlfriend so you can explain to me what "sex" is?"

Renji laughed like a maniac at Ichigo's panicked expression.


"Stop pacing Byakuya-sama" Hisana said amused from her spot on the bed "you'll get dizzy."

"Aren't you worried?" he asked and Hisana noticed how this was one of those moments where his stoic poise would disappear, she loved to see him like this, it showed how much he trusted her "she's…"

"She's with Kurosaki Ichigo" she said calmly while putting her book on the bedside table "you know where he lives and you've known the kid since he was in High School."

Byakuya frowned.

"That doesn't mean that we can trust him with our sister" Byakuya insisted "our little sister! Living alone with a hormonal young male…"

Hisana chuckled.

"Byakuya-sama" Hisana said "come to bed and stop thinking about them, if everything goes well Rukia will be free in no time."

Byakuya sighed and started to unbutton his shirt.

"Or…" Hisana said playfully "we'll have a beautiful nephew with orange hair in no time."

Byakuya stopped his undressing process and ran straight to grab his cellphone.

He was already looking for Ichigo's number when Hisana hugged him from behind.

"I'm kidding" she said and he turned around to face her.

"She's safe" Hisana said "he'll take care of her."

Byakuya nodded, he was already getting lost in his wife's hypnotic blue eyes.

"Now" she said with a flirtatious smile "you should be taking care of me, I've no intention of sleeping yet so…"

He didn't let her finish, instead, he leaned down and kissed her full on the lips.

He forgot all about the call he was going to make.


Renji finished his fourth beer of the night and observed at the girl that was fast asleep, with her head on Ichigo's lap. He noticed how Ichigo was fighting the urge to stroke her hair and instead focused on finishing his fifth beer of the night, some silly movie was playing on the flat screen of the living room and the plates of Chinese food were already empty.

Rukia was the one who ate the most, apparently she loved Chinese food.

No wonder why she fell asleep so quickly.

"So…" Renji started "spill the beans."

Ichigo glared at him.

"What? About what?" he asked.

Renji shrugged.

"About the sleepy beauty" he said pointing at Rukia "I've known you since we were fucking kids and I've never seen her, yet, she seems to be close to you and for some reason you have no problem about her sleeping with her head on your lap" he huffed "for someone who has sex quite frequently and don't believe in cuddling this is quite new."

Ichigo groaned while covering his face with his hands.

"You won't give it a rest, right?" he asked.

"You know me" Renji said smirking "so, who is she?"

Ichigo took a deep breath and looked straight at Renji's eyes.

"She's Rukia" he started "she just finished her education in a convent in Norway, where she spent most of her young life, and now she's back to her hometown to settle in college and decide what she wants to do with her life."

Renji nodded.

"I see" he said and Ichigo almost sighed with relief.

He couldn't believe it! Renji believed him!

"Now…" Renji said while stretching a little "are you going to tell me the truth tonight or do I have to bring Tatsuki so she can punch you until you speak?"

Ichigo paled.

He wasn't going to get away with this.


Orihime Inoue was cooking her lunch for tomorrow, she liked to take her own food to share with her colleagues and besides the food from the cafeteria wasn't healthy, well, at least not so much. She packed everything carefully and made sure to pack two portions of everything.

If everything was in her favor she would share her lunch with Kurosaki Ichigo tomorrow.

She smiled with excitement.

He had been her long-time crush but now that they worked in the same enterprise she was closer to him than ever, not emotionally or physically speaking of course, but it was a matter of time, she was working on it.

With a smile she finished preparing everything and went to sleep.

Little did she know that Ichigo was going to be very busy with another girl tomorrow.


Ichigo wanted to punch Renji square on the face.

He really felt tempted to do it.

Unfortunately, if he were to move, he would wake Rukia up and he didn't want to startle her. It was her first night at his home and well, he didn't want to make this awkward or weird for her.

God knew that it was already weird enough for him.

"Close your fucking mouth" Ichigo said through clenched teeth at Renji.

The redhead obeyed but his face still betrayed his emotions, shock, surprise, scepticism, curiosity…

"Let me see if I get this" Renji said finally "she's a genie?" he asked.

Ichigo nodded.

"You, for some strange reason, wished for her to be with you forever?" he pressed on.

Ichigo nodded again.

"Now you're her master and you plan to set her free, for real this time, after getting your second wish?"

Ichigo sighed.

"Basically, that's it."

Renji blinked.

"Damn" he said finally "that's madness, that's why she's living with you now? That's why she behaves as if you two had been together for a while now?"

Ichigo pondered those questions for a minute.

"Well…" he said "I'm not sure if it's because of the whole "master and genie" thing, but I don't feel awkward around her and she hasn't complain about anything" he shrugged "so I guess it'll work out until she decides what she wants to do."

"Well, while I still have my doubts, I think it's awesome" Renji said "say goodbye to your casual dates though, you can't bring girls here now that you live with one."

Ichigo looked at Rukia, with her eyes closed he could see how long her eyelashes were and how cute her nose was, her skin seemed to be made of porcelain.

"I wouldn't dream of it" Ichigo said finally "I don't fancy the idea of Kuchiki Byakuya castrating me, thanks ever so."

Renji frowned.

"Why would your boss do that?" he asked.

"Oh" Ichigo said while taking another sip of his beer "I forgot to tell you, she's Kuchiki Rukia, Byakuya's little sister."

Renji's eyes widened.

"HOLY SHIT!" He yelled when the information kicked in and that scream was enough to startle Rukia.

She jumped, completely confused after being woken up so rudely and pointed with her right palm straight in front of her. She yelled something that sounded like "bakudo!" but Ichigo couldn't be sure and a red light invaded the living room.

His flat screen was ruined within seconds.

Renji observed amazed the whole thing and looked at Rukia slightly afraid.

"For some reason…" Ichigo said finally "I'm not even surprised."

Rukia smiled apologetic at him.

Ichigo didn't want to imagine what kind of mayhem she would cause tomorrow at the office, because judging by how she couldn't stay away from him for too long, she was going to come.

Ichigo blamed Byakuya for the whole thing.


I'm so in love with Renji, seriously.

So don't worry about him in a love triangle, he's already happy in here.

Guys, I seriously cannot express through words how happy your reviews make me! I mean, I started this silly thing without wanting to compromise to it but your kind words keeps me inspired!

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE ALL AWESOME!

I wish I could thank you individually but it's late here and I have to work on an essay, so let me know what you think about this chapter and I'll thank you in the next.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU! LONG LIVE ICHIRUKI!

I apologize for my grammar mistakes.

Oh, before I forget… an Origo left me a lovely review on the last chapter so I want you to know that I'm blowing you a kiss, because you need love to stop spreading your hateful shit, and I hope you enjoyed the cover of the volume number 74. *grin* I know I did.
