Rukia was lying on his bed, between Karin's and Yuzu's bed. The twins were sleeping peacefully, but the shinigami was staring at the ceiling.

She learnt so much this evening about intercourse, having children and stuff like that. She could not stop thinking about that, she found it very interesting.

Though...she was born as a human being. If she had lived in the human world after she was born, could she have learnt and experecienced everything Ichigo told her? could she have a relatonship like the ones Ichigo said? She'd never know.

But,if she hadn't gone to Soul Society, she wouldn't have met Renji and his friends, she wouldn't have been guided by Kaien-dono; and her meeting with Ichigo was thanks to the fact she was a shinigami sho studied at the Academy and then was adopted by Kuchiki Clan. Sometimes she wondered how she and her sister Hisana died together...they had to die together because both of them went to the same place in the Soul Society. Rukia was kinda afraid of asking this to her brother.

The only thing she knew about herself was that on January 14th, she was picked by an old couple. They told her about the birthdays,special dates for humas at the living world.So, tomorrow is going to be her birthday...birthday? or I-was-picked-up-day? Rukia lived with the old couple until they died. She had to live by her own since then.

"Well,when your body has an intercourse for the first time...it is possible to have the need of doing it again"

She thought about Ichigo's words.

Her gigai was like a human body, so she could have functions of a human body. So that means she felt the need of doing what Chappy did.

"And you feel the same?"

The orange-haired boy nodded to this question. So he wanted to do it too. Both of them wanted.

But he said so many things that got Rukia confused; she no longer knew what was wrong and what was correct. There were people who did it because they loved each other...and there were people that only did it because they wanted to feel pleasure...what did she feel?

She wanted to know what it feels,that's right...but Ichigo was important to her...

What did she want to do?

Rukia shook her head. She tried to sleep, tomorrow she would talk to Chappy.

Ichigo woke up early that morning. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He was hungry.. "Looks like too much thinking made me feel hungry" he thought, scratching the back of his head.

He got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast He saw Yuzu in a hurry.

"What's wrong Yuzu?" he asked.

"I need some ingredients to make breakfast, so I'm going to buy them"

"Don't bother, I'll go. Tell me what you need."

"Arigato Ichi-nii!"

The girl gave him a list of the ingredients she needed. Ichigo said he'd be back in thirty minutes.

Fifteen minutes later, Ichigo was walking back to his house, carrying a bag with the spices.

On his way, he saw a shop, and something un the displayer caught his attention. He moved closer to see what it was.

And he thought about Rukia.

I know tomorrow is your birthday!

Today was Rukia's birthday...

"No!, don't even think about that!" he said to himself. He wasn't the type of guy who gave presents to everyone...only to his sisters. Not even to his own father! Ichigo shook his head and walked away.

But he stopped on his tracks. He looked back. And as if an invisible hand pushed him, he went back to the shop.

"I AM really going mad." he whispered.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0

"I'm back!" Ichigo said, closing the door behind. "Here is what you needed Yuzu" he left the bag on the table.

"Thank you so much Ichi-nii!" Yuzu noticed that his brother was also carrying a box with his left arm. "What's that?"

Ichigo tried not to blush...at least not too much so Yuzu could not notice it.

"Um...nothing important. Tell me when breakfast is ready" his sister nodded.

The boy went upstairs, and when he was up there, he saw Rukia leaving her room.

When Rukia looked at him, she froze. She was feeling all that Ichigo told her yesterday; she wondered if Ichigo felt the same way.

And he did. He was frozen as well. Everything he told her and all the he though last night popped up in his mind. He took a look at the box he was carrying. Should he give it to her now?

"O..ohayo" Rukia greeted.

"Ohayo" Ichigo greeted back.

There was an akward silence.But he broke it.

"Come to my room" He motioned her.

They got int and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Is it..is it true that today is your birthday?" Ichigo was a bit nervious.

Rukia was surprise by his question.

"Well..yes...but I don't know what I should celebrate.." she shrugged.

Ichigo scratched the back of his head. He did not know what to do...this wasn't like giving Yuzu and Karin a present. He didn't even know why the hell he bought that in the first place!

So he just took the box and gave it to her. As simple as that.

"This is for you" he said, not looking at her eyes.

For her? Of course, it's common to give presents on this dates. But, Ichigo was giving her something...that's really odd. She thought he was too cold to do this kind of things.But a change is awlays good.

"Thank you" She smiled at him ad he blushed.

When she took the box, her hands touched Ichigo's for a moment. This contact made their hearts beat faster than before. Her hands look so small compared to his. Ichigo removed his hands from the box, as if he had touched something hot.

Rukia felt...disappointed?. Someway she wanted to keep that contact. Maybe my so called hormones are going mad...

When she opened the box, a pair of long ears,brown eyes and whiskers was the first she saw. It was a rabbit.

"I just got it. They told me it's female" he said.

Rukia was shocked. It was incredible...she always wanted to have a real rabbit in her hands, to stroke it until she got tired, and to treat it like her own child. And now, a white female rabbit was on her lap, looking for food.

The raven haired girl lift the animal up,as if she wanted to make sure it wasn't and illusion. Then she hugged her new pet so hard, feeling its soft skin againts her chest.

"Oi Rukia!!, calm down!, you could kill it! it's only two months old!" Ichigo exclaimed.

Rukia obeyed.She was so happy.

"Thank you so much Ichigo!!" and without realize, she kissed him on the lips.

But it didn't last, it was a 3-seconds-kiss. When they pulled apart,their faces were red.

Those three seconds were like three minutes or three hours for them.Rukia's blood was running through her veins so fast, her face was as red as a tomato ad her lips were burning. Not to mention her heart was about to blow up. Was that the sexual arouse?

"Why d-did..you do that?" he asked, looking away. He just couldn't look at her.

"A kiss...is just a way to say thanks." she said.

"But you kiss on the cheek to say thanks.."

"Oh...sorry."

He glanced at her and she did the same. Suddenly, the enviroment started to heat up...and his face was getting closer to hers...or it was her who was getting closer at him? When their faces were inches apart, he looked away. He couldn't do it. And she felt disappointed again.

"Ichi-nii! breakfast is ready!"

Yuzu yelled from the kitchen.When Rukia heard her, she left the room,without a word.

Did she get mad at me? Ichigo wondered.
