Chapter 2
The next day, Rukia woke up before me. She laid in my bed watching me sleep while giggling at points of my slumber. She whispered in my ear while I sleep.
"I love you Ichi," she said while I was asleep still hearing her.
I woke up after a few minutes and replied to her half-asleep.
"I love you to Rukia," I said while yawning and rubbing my eyes.
Rukia and I heard some cheering on the other side of the door. I grabbed my shoe and threw it at the door.
"Knock it off dad. Quit your childish behavior. Got it goat face!" I yelled.
"I got it," my dad said while heading towards the dining room.
My father, Isshin Kurosaki, entered the dining room to eat breakfast. Meanwhile, me and Rukia went to the bathroom to take a shower in silence. Rukia managed to break the silence.
"Ichigo. Do you think there's a possibility that I become your new roommate?" Rukia asked while blushing.
"Yes there is a possibility that you will become my new roommate," I answered.
After the conversation, I washed Rukia and, in returned, she washed me. We got out of the shower, dried off, got dressed, and headed for school without eating breakfast.
"Do you think we should keep our relationship a secret or not?" Rukia asked.
"Yes if you want to," I answered.
"Okay. We'll keep it a secret," she said.
We made it to school before any of our friends showed up. We went to our classroom and sat in our desks and read before the class starts. The bell rang for class to start. Everyone is in their normal seats talking before the teacher came in. Mr. Zaraki came in the class and everyone quiet down and paid attention to the teacher.
"Class get out your English books and turn to page 175 and read about William Shakespeare. Once you have finished, answer the questions and turned your paper in before lunch," Mr. Zaraki announced.
Rukia, Yachiru, and I worked on the assignment together. We turned our paper in five minutes before the bell rings for lunch. When the lunch bell ring, Me, Rukia, Yachiru, and the others went to the rooftop to eat lunch. Orihime eats her weird lunch which consists of tuna, wasabi, saltine crackers, honey, and bean paste. Her lunch makes everyone gag.
"Do you want some Tatsuki?" Orihime asked.
"No thanks Orihime, but thanks for asking," Tatsuki answered.
The bell rang to end lunch and went back to class. Rukia and I had math after lunch. We sat by the window during math. There is a new student joining this class. His name is, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, he sat in front of Rukia and me and next to, Hiyori Sarugaki, she is one of Rukia's closest friends growing up as a child. Ms. Fon enters the classroom and makes the students settle down.
"Settle down class we have a new student today and his name is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, please raise your hand so everybody knows who you are," Ms. Fon said.
Grimmjow raised his hand and most of the student body was talking about Grimmjow's hair color. Ms. Fon assigned math work. Grimmjow worked with me and Rukia on the assignment. The bell rang to end the school day, Grimmjow, Rukia, and I turned our papers to the teacher and left the school. Rukia and I went to Kisuke's to train today with Karin and Yuzu.
"Rukia," I said.
"Yes Ichigo," she replied.
"Don't go easy on Karin and Yuzu. But don't hurt them," I replied back.
Rukia nodded and we went to the underground training and waited for Karin and Yuzu to come. About five minutes later, Yuzu and Karin showed and got out of their bodies with the help of Kisuke. Rukia used, Chappy, her soul candy and I used Kon. Karin and Yuzu felt an enormous amount of spiritual pressure.
"Damn. What the hell is going on here?" Karin asked barely breathing.
"This is my spiritual pressure Karin you going to have to get use to it before you both can breathe," I answered her.
"How in the hell can you have that much spiritual pressure?" She asked again still barely breathing.
"I don't know ask dad," I answered again.
"What do you mean 'ask dad'?" She asked.
"You and Yuzu don't know that dad is a shinigami and former captain of the 14th squad," I answered.
"No he hasn't told us about his history," Karin replied breathing normally.
"Why did he tell you about his history as a shinigami?" Yuzu asked.
"He knew that I'm a shinigami when Rukia gave me some of her powers," I answered.
"I see the both of u can breathe normally now," Kisuke said to the girls.
"Wow it took us around ten minutes to get use to it that is unbelievable," Yuzu said.
"With that being said lets get started with our training," Rukia announced.
"Release your shikai Karin," I said.
"My shikai?" Karin asked confused.
"You haven't learned your zanpakutou's name yet," I said.
"Name?" She asked confused.
"All zanpakutous have a name and my zanpakutou's name is Zangetsu," I answered.
Karin gazes at her zanpakutou and she phases into her spirit world. Her spirit world is beautiful, rose bushes were growing, she can hear the waterfall crashing into the huge lake in the center. There is a strange figure coming towards her.
"Karin. This is your spirit world," the stranger said to her.
"Who are you?" Karin asked.
"I'm your zanpakutou, Kusari," Kusari said and Karin couldn't hear her.
Kusari resembles death wearing a black robe, covering her feet, and a hood covering her head.
"I couldn't hear your name," Karin said to her zanpakutou
"Listen carefully, don't get distracted, and you will hear this time. My name is Kusari," Kusari said and Karin finally heard her name.
"Now wake up and fight your brother," Kusari said to Karin.
Karin woke up from her phase and began to call out her zanpakutou.
"Chain my enemy, Kusari," Karin release her zanpakutou.
Ichigo grinned as Karin released her zanpakutou. Karin's zanpakutou release is a double bladed sword with a chain attached at the end of both hilts. The two blades has crimson on the bottom and white on the top. The zanpakutou has a devil horns cross guard on one of the blade which is for killing and a N shape cross guard on the other which is for healing herself, friends, family, or allies. Meanwhile, before Yuzu and Rukia started training. They were talking about Rukia's stay.
"Rukia. How come your not living at your house?" Yuzu questioned her.
"Um you see. I wanted to move out and live on my own," Rukia half lied to her.
Flashback
I was listening to my music loud. There was a knock on my door, I went and open my door, there was Byakuya and my sister Hisana, Byakuya's wife, they were angry.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked them.
"We are here because we are kicking you out," Byakuya answered me being emotionless as always.
"Why are the both of you kicking me out?" I asked again.
"Because you are coming home late, sleeping in when we tell you to get up, and playing music loud in your bedroom when we ask you several times to turn it down and you ignore us," Hisana answered.
"Fine!" I yelled at them and started to pack my clothes, hair brush, some books of what I have on my bookshelf, movies,and my laptop.
I left the house and went to Ichigo's apartment. Once I got there, I went to the door and knocked on the door. Renji answered the door.
"Hey Rukia. What brings you here?" Renji asked his long time friend.
"I came here to talk to Ichigo. Do you know where he is at?" I answered and asked my friend another question.
"Oh, he is in the shower. Come in and put your things in Ichigo's room," Renji answered and offered me to come inside.
I went to Ichigo's bedroom and I was in awe at the room covered in music posters of the bands that I love to listen in my room. I put my things on the floor and I laid on his queen size bed taking a nap. Ichigo got out of the shower and he went to his bedroom. He saw a short, raven color hair, in his bed asleep. He went to his bed and trying to wake me up.
"Wake up Rukia," he said while shaking me to wake up.
"No give me five more minutes," I replied turning over with my back facing him.
"Come on Rukia. I got to get dressed," he said begging me to wake up.
"Fine," I groaned while getting up.
When I looked at him, he was in a towel around his waist and his toned, muscle chest. I blushed and looked away from him before he noticed. I walked out of the bedroom and went in the living room. I sat on the couch and turned on the television to watch 'House M.D.'. A few minutes later, Ichigo went to the living room fully dressed and sat next to me on the couch. Renji left to the theater with Tatsuki. Ichigo drummed his fingers on the coffee table.
"Is there something you want to talk about Ichigo?" I asked him.
"Um...How come you are not at your brother's house?" He answered with a question.
"Byakuya and Hisana kicked me out," I answered him.
"Why did they kick you out?" He asked again.
"I came home late, sleep in when I'm told to get up, and not turning the music down," I answered.
"That sucks though. You got kicked out over something stupid," he replied.
"Oh well. You don't mind me crashing here for a few days," I said to him.
"I don't mind you crashing here. So, where are you going to sleep?" He asked.
"I'll sleep on the couch," I answered.
"No," he said demanding me not to sleep on the couch.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I would like for you to sleep in my bed Rukia," he answered blushing.
I blushed and continued to watch 'House M.D.'. We went to bed after the show went off, Renji came back at 12:00AM.
End flashback
"Rukia. Are you okay?" Yuzu asked waving her hand in front of Rukia.
"Huh oh yeah I'm fine," I answered.
"Yuzu. Go to your spirit world find your zanpakutou and hear the name of your zanpakutou," Rukia said to Yuzu.
"How do I do that Rukia?" She asked.
"Unsheathe your zanpakutou and put it on the ground with the hilt facing up," Rukia answered.
Yuzu unsheathed her zanpakutou and put it on the ground with it's hilt facing straight up.
"Like that Rukia," she said.
"Yes like that. Close your eyes and meditate," Rukia replied.
"Okay," Yuzu replied back.
Yuzu closed her eyes and began to meditate. About five minutes later she is in her spirit world. She gets up and walks around in this autumn like world with leaves changing colors, warm temperatures, wind blowing, and pumpkins growing. She walks around until she feels a presence coming from behind her.
"Who's there?" Yuzu asked turning around.
"I'm your zanpakutou and this is your spirit world," Yuzu's zanpakutou answered her.
"Oh," Yuzu replied to her zanpakutou.
"Now hear this well my name is Autumn," the zanpakutou said and Yuzu didn't hear her name.
"Sorry I couldn't hear your name," Yuzu apologized.
"It's fine. I'll say my name again. My name is Autumn," Autumn said to Yuzu.
"That's a nice name Autumn," Yuzu nodded as she bowed to her zanpakutou.
"Thank you Yuzu," Autumn said nodding.
"Your welcome," Yuzu replied.
Yuzu went out of her meditation stated and called out her zanpakutou.
"Freeze my enemies, Autumn."
Yuzu's zanpakutou is a claymore sword with a white hilt with a snowflake hilt guard, ice blue blade, and a dark blue ribbon hanging from the hilt of her blade. Rukia, Yuzu, Karin, and I saw the zanpakutou and it's beauty is absolutely stunning.
"Yuzu that is the second most beautiful zanpakutou I seen," I said complementing her and her zanpakutou.
"Thank you Ichi-nii. What was the first beautiful zanpakutou you have seen Ichigo?" Yuzu asked me.
"Sode No Shirayuki," I answered.
"Who's zanpakutou does Sode No Shirayuki belong to Ichigo?" Karin asked.
"Sode No Shirayuki is Rukia's zanpakutou Karin," I answered.
"Dance, Sode No Shirayuki," Rukia said as she called out her zanpakutou.
"Wow Rukia, Sode No Shirayuki is beautiful," Yuzu and Karin complemented Rukia in unison.
"Thank you Yuzu and Karin," Rukia replied
"Your welcome Rukia," Yuzu and Karin said in unison.
Rukia's, Karin's, and Yuzu's zanpakutous went back to their original state while mine goes back into it's shikai form.
"Rukia," Yuzu said.
"Yes," Rukia replied.
"Are you and Ichigo a couple?" Yuzu asked which made Rukia and I blushed.
"Um well, what makes you think that Yuzu?" Rukia asked.
"The other day at the theater I saw you and Ichigo kissed," Yuzu answered.
We both blushed again. I looked at the time and it was time for me and Rukia to go to her brother's and sister's house for dinner.
"We'll tell you later me and Rukia have somewhere to go tonight," I said to Yuzu and Karin.
"We do?" Rukia asked confused.
"Yeah remember we was going to Byakuya's and Hisana's house for dinner tonight," I answered her.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that," she replied.
Rukia and I went back to their gigais and went to Rukia's old home. The front of house has a cherry blossom tree and golden fountain in the middle of the yard. Rukia knocked on the door and Hisana answered the door.
"Hello Rukia and Ichigo," Hisana greeted them.
"Hello Hisana," Rukia and I greeted her in unison.
"Byakuya is in his den reading," Hisana said.
Rukia and I both nodded and Rukia hugged Hisana.
"I missed you so much Hisana," Rukia said hugging her tight.
"I...missed...you... so...much...to...Rukia. I...can't...breathe...Rukia," Hisana replied hardly breathing.
"Oh sorry Hisana," Rukia said letting go of her hold.
"It's okay Rukia," Hisana replied breathing.
Hisana, Rukia, and I went inside the house and sat on the black leather couch in the living room. The living room has tile on the floor, walls painted spring green, crystal chandelier above the coffee table, fifty-four inch LCD HDTV. Byakuya came in the living room and sat next to his wife.
"This is a beautiful home Hisana and Byakuya," I complemented them.
"Thank you Ichigo," Hisana said cheerfully.
"Your welcome," I replied.
Rukia nudged me to give her attention and I turned to her.
"Is there something wrong Rukia?" I asked.
"Nothing is wrong I want to show you the rest of the house if that is alright with you Ichigo," she answered.
"Oh. I would love to see the rest of the house," I replied.
"Yippee. Come on Ichigo," she said grabbing my arm to the dining room and kitchen.
"Wow amazing. I didn't expect them to have great taste in the furniture. Oak table, marble counter tops, Italian chairs, walls painted sky blue, and everything stunning from the refrigerator to the stove that can fit two turkeys, and a freezer than can hold up to about anything your brother-in-law and sister buys when they grocery shopping," I said to Rukia in awe.
We went to her old bedroom with Chappy pillows, blanket, dresser, shirts, pants, skirts, and whatever else that Rukia has in her room with Chappy. I laughed silently for her couldn't hear but she did and elbowed me in the ribs.
"Ow. What was that for Rukia?" I asked her in pain.
"You were making fun of my Chappy collection," she answered pissing her off.
"I wasn't making fun of your Chappy collection," I replied trying to calm her down.
"Why were you laughing then?" She asked calming down a little.
"I find it cute that you still have your Chappy collection Rukia," I answered and we both blush.
"Oh. Sorry for hurting you Ichi," she apologized.
"It's okay Rukia. I like it when you hurt me," I replied
We made it down the stairs where Byakuya and Hisana were waiting. We went to the dining room and ate dinner quietly. I put Rukia's and mine dishes in the sink and sat on the couch. Not a moment later Byakuya and Hisana sat in the leather chairs in front of us and Byakuya asked Rukia a question.
"So Rukia. Where are you living at?" Byakuya asked and made both me and Rukia blush.
"I've been living with Ichigo with the past week," Rukia answered truthfully.
"Have you done anything to hurt her Ichigo?" Byakuya asked me.
"No sir. I haven't and I never will hurt Rukia. I will protect her with my life," I answered Byakuya.
"If you ever hurt her Ichigo. I will go bankai on your ass," Byakuya threatened which made me cower in the corner in fear. I always been afraid of Byakuya's bankai.
It was time for Rukia and I to get going. Rukia hugged her sister and her brother-in-law. I shook Byakuya's and Hisana's hand. We walked back to the house and no where in sight my dad was not in the living room when we made it back. Rukia went to my bedroom and sat on the bed while I went to the kitchen to get us a coke from the fridge. I went to my bedroom and handed Rukia a coke and opened the drinks at the same time and gulp it down within minutes. After they finished their drinks, Rukia went in the closet and fell asleep. I fell asleep within a minute or two.
