Can We Ever Have A Happy Ending?

By IchiRuki-Obsessed

chapter 3: Is Our Love Strong Enough...?

The bright sun shined through out the city of Karakura town, disturbing the sleeping population, particularly a strawberry-blond. Rubbed his groggily amber eyes Ichigo stared up at his ceiling. He felt so content right now. It could be one of three reasons. One: today was Sunday and he didn't have school to attended. Two: because it was a nice, peaceful and quiet day, or finally, three: it could be the raven-haired women cuddled up to his side.

Number three definitely. He concluded. Rukia was laying on her belly, her right arm resting on Ichigo's naked chest. Her small left hand was holding his much larger right; their fingers intertwined. She was facing away from the window; her head resting on a pillow, facing him. He let a smile take over his face as he starred at Rukia's sleeping face. He had to say this was one of her most cutest moments. Her face expression was soft and at peace. Her nose would twitch like a bunny every few moments and her eyes would flutter, both adorable signs that she was dreaming. He pulled the blankets further up around her and wrapped his left arm around her waist.

what time is it anyways…?Ichigo thought. Being careful not to wake his lover, he his looked over his shoulder and glanced at the clock. 9:30am.

Pops normally wakes me up around ten on weekends he though turning his head back. Sighing he thought,

I should probably wake Rukia up, if Pops catches us like this we'll never hear the end of it. leaning down so his mouth ways only about two inches away from her ear he whispered,

"Rukia…time to get up," the only response he got was a slight twitch of her cute little nose. He leaned forward and begins to kiss her soft neck.

"Rise and shine," he muttered against her skin. She mewed softly as she turned her head to give Ichigo better access.

"Come on Rukia open your eyes," he said softly, kissing down her throat. She whimpered softly at the sensation Ichigo was bring to her. Ichigo, now laying on his side as well, looked back at her face and sighed. Brushing a few strains of hair out of her eyes he said,

"Come on Rukia, ya gotta get up before my dad comes in."

"…But…don't.. wanna.." she muttered barring her head in the crook of his neck.

"I know, but we gotta, come on, I know your awake," he said with a smile on his face, wrapping his arms around her.

"…I'm not awake," she muttered groggily.

"lets go bathe together Rukia," he said resting his chin on top of her head. When she didn't answer, Ichigo thought she was either thinking about his suggestion or she fell back asleep.

"You just want to have sex with me," she sighed.

"If you don't want to make love then we won't, I'll just bathe you," he answers honestly.

"…Your talking is making it harder for me to fall back asleep…" she muttered slightly annoyed.

"That's the point cutie," he says with a smile, kissing the top of her hair.

" Now come on," he said detaching himself from her embrace. She opened her eyes and watched him get out of his bed and as he began looking for his clothes.

"what are you starring at?" he asked her with a smirk and a raise of an eyebrow.

"Your naked body," she replied with a smirk of her own.

"like whatcha see, huh?" he asked putting on his boxers.

"You could say that," she answered in a playful voice rising into a sitting position, not even bothering to pull the sheets back up when they fell to her waist. He starred at her breasts and muttered,

"Your such a tees."

"That's the point cutie" she said in a mocking tone.

"hey! that's my pet name for you," he said with a playful pout.

"Okay then how about I call you snuggle bear?" she suggested playfully.

"In public?" he asked horrified.

"Maybe," she mocks in a sing-song voice, "Or I could call you strawberry shortcake"

"That's more a name for you then me!" he pouts.

"Is that a short joke!" she hissed.

"Of course not," he said picking up his tee-shirt.

"Sarcastic jackass" she muttered half-heartily. He sits down next her on the bed and gently pulled the tee-shirt over her head.

"I love you too," he replied to her insult softly, pulling her arms threw the sleeves of his tee-shirt. Her eyes soften and she wraps her arms around his neck, resting her forehead agents his.

" I love you more then anything" he whispered.

"No matter what…?" she asked thinking of all the hardship them being together will cause.

" Of course! didn't I make that clear to you yet?" he asked wrapping his arms around her waist .

" Its…just…to good to be true" she whispered closing her eyes.

"Me loving you? Or being happy?" he asked.

"…Both" she sighed opening her eyes.

"I feel the same" he admits.

"You know what Ichigo…?" Rukia asked after a moment of silence .

"…What?" he asked getting lost in her beautiful eyes.

"I think making love in the shower doesn't sound like a bad idea right now," she says with pink cheeks. Ichigo blinked a few times at her before asking,

"Really?"

"As long as we're quite, then yes," she answers taking his hand and walking into the bathroom.

"Daddy what's that banging sound coming from the bathroom?" Yuzu asks Isshin innocently at the kitchen table.

"That is the sound of my grand kids being made-!" The man was cut off as Karin punches him in the face extremely hard.

"Shut up you freak of a dad!" she hissed to the now crying man laying on the floor.

"I was just answering my lovely daughters question!" Isshin yells standing up as if he never got hit.

"Well, its inappropriate to talk about with girls our age!" Karin yells back trying to kick her father in the groin.

"But you two are thirteen! You are practically adults!" he laughs dodging the blow.

"We don't wanna know about what Ichi-nii is doing with Rukiain the bathroom!" Karin screams forgetting about Yuzu being in the room.

"Karin-nee…what are they dong in the bathroom?" she asks with big eyes.

"They're screw-"

"unclogging the toilet!!!" Karin interrupts Isshin.

" You two are confusing I'm going to go wash the dishes," the blond twin says to her sister and dad. When she leaves Isshin whispers to Karin,

"what's the big deal? They are just doing 'it' in the bathroom that you use as well, poor bathroom, it will be forever dubbed as the sex bathroom-"

"LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA!" she screams covering her ears with her palms.

"Ichi…go!" Rukia moans in a near scream digging her nails into his back.

" Shhhh, if you keep moaning loudly we'll be found out" he whispers into her ear as he thrusts into her hard and fast. He has her propped against the shower wall, with his arms wrapped around her upper back as he makes love to her with the warm water hitting his strong back. Her legs were wrapped around his lower back and her arms her wrapped around his shoulders.

"Ichigo…I'm close" she moans kissing and licking his neck.

"Me too…lets-s cum to-gether," he moans trusting harder and faster then before. Rukia's loud scream when she climaxed would have be heard, most likely, throughout the whole house if Ichigo didn't kiss her hard to silence her. Ichigo climaxes shortly after and they're left panting in each others arms.

"That was amazing," Rukia says once her breathing is back to normal.

"Your amazing" he whispers as he slides out of her carefully; they both moan at the sensation. When her legs hit the ground she is not surprised she can barley stand. She leans on Ichigo as he pours some shampoo in his palm and then begins washing her raven locks.

"Close your eyes" he orders softly as he washes the soap out of her hair. Next, he rubs in the conditioner. When he's letting that sit he begins washing her body, trying not to get turned on . Once she is rinsed completely off, hair and all, he begins washing his own hair. He sighs when she starts washing his body. Once he is completely clean he turns of the water and wraps a towel around her body. She gets out of the shower. She waits for him to dry himself then they quickly make there way to there separate rooms to get dressed. After Ichigo is dressed he goes waits outside the twin's room for Rukia to finish up. He's wearing dark blue jeans, a red tee-shirt and a black jacket. Rukia comes out after a few minutes in light blue skirt with black knee high socks and a pink shirt.

"Ready, cutie?" he asks with a smile

"Sure am, snuggle bear," she replies walking past him and down the stairs.

"Don't call me that around other people!" he calls running after her.

"Okay snuggle bear!" she calls back laughing.

"Yeah, ya better run!" he yells as she races into the living room. Isshin watchs in silence as Ichigo comes flying down the stairs and tackles Rukia onto the couch and starts tickling her.

"Do you surrender?" he asks still attacking her sides.

"N-never!" she calls back through her laughter.

"Well ya better-" Ichigo was cut off as her phone starts ringing. Rukia imminently answers it,

"H-hello?'

"Hello Kuchiki!" the voice on the other end greets

"Urahara?" she asks surprised.

"We need both you and Kurosaki-san to came to my store right away," he says in a serious voice.

"Oh…is something wrong?" she asks. There is a moment of silence before the shopkeeper answers,

"Come as soon as possible," and with that the line goes dead. Rukia stares up at Ichigo, who was still on top of her.

"What happened?" he asks getting off of her. She just looks up at him with wide eyes not moving a muscle.

"Rukia! What's wrong!?" he calls shaking her some. She blinks at him a few times before bolting off the couch and over to the door. He immediately followed her.

"RUKIA!" he screams getting scared,watching as she puts her shoes on.

"Come on Ichigo we gotta go," and with that she was out the door racing down the street.

"OI! RUKIA! WAIT UP!" he calls throwing on his shoes and running after her. Isshin watches all this with narrow eyes,

so it's begun

No, no, no, NO, NO! Rukia thinks as she runs down the street. this can't be happening! Does Urahara know? If he does…that means Soul Society knows!for some reason she felt tears rolling down her cheeks.

if they know….they'll take me away from here…from my home…my friends…my new family…from Ichigo

"RUKIA!" she freezes in her place hearing her lover calling her. Once he is only about a foot behind her he stops.

"Rukia…what happened ..?" he asks. When she doesn't reply he continues,

"Please tell me Rukia, your…starting to scare me…" he says softly walking up and wrapping his arms around her.

"Urahara…said to meet him at his shop….I'm just jumping to conclusions" she says turning so she's facing his chest. Barring her face in the fabric of his shirt she whispers,

"I love you," his eyes soften at this and he kisses the top of her head

"I love you too" and with that the separate from the embrace and run the rest of the way to Urahara's…together.

"Kuchiki, Kurosaki welcome!" the shop keeper greets when the couple walks into the small store.

"Cut the crap Urahara, what do ya want" Ichigo hisses.

"Kuchiki knows, don't you?" the blond man asks. Rukia, who was originally staring at the ground, looked up at the ex-captain with wide eyes.

"What?" she rasps. Urahara sighs before saying,

"Follow me please," walking to the back of the shop. The two shinigami follow and sit down around a table in a room they had been in many times.

"You have broken another law," Urahara sighs from across the table.

"What?" Ichigo asks.

"A shinigami may never have any sexual relations with a human," Yoruichi says walking into the room in her cat form. The two look at the cat with wide eyes.

"how did you-"

"know?" Urahara asks, "well how do we explain it… when two shinigami have-"

"Sex," Yoruichibroke in "their spiritual pressure becomes uncontrollable. And being you Ichigo, someone that can't control your spiritual pressure to begin with; apparently your spiritual pressure becomes so large and flares so much it can even be seen in Soul Society" Ichigo's and Rukia's eyes were about the size of dinner plates at this point.

"Also when you two….have sexual intercourse or just plain kiss, your spiritual pressures combines," Urahara added.

"What does that have to do with anything!?" Ichigo screamed with a red face.

"That you both could be put to death for it," Yoruichi answered looking at the ground.

"B-but, b-b-but why!? I'm a shinigami too!-" Ichigo was interrupted by Rukia.

"You're also part human," she looks at him with tears in her eyes.

"Which is why I said I couldn't love you even if I do," she finishes.

"Rukia…"he whispers.

"What is even worse, is that Rukia is a noble," Yoruichi says, "it could possibly get Rukia out of the death sentence but it makes it worse for Ichigo." When they don't say anything she continued,

"The fact that she's a noble basically cancels the fact that you are only part human," she sighs before saying,

"I wouldn't know for a fact but Ichigo, it is very possible you would be put to death under the charges of raping a noble."

"….but I didn't rape her god damn it!" Ichigo yells hitting the table.

"That doesn't matter!" Yoruichi yells " the fact is, they don't see it that way, you still broke a law."

"but! But because I'm a noble I can still-" Rukia started.

" No, I'm sorry," Urahara says, "You being a noble won't get you two out of trouble."

"I'll fucking kill anyone that dares tries separating us or who tries putting us to death! I'll kill everyone in soul society!" Ichigo nearly screams.

"Be realistic Ichigo! Listen we used a barrier to shield you from Soul Society the first two times so they shouldn't know yet," Yoruichi says.

"Besides, we don't know for sure if they well sentence you to death considering how many times you helped save Soul society." Urahara says, "you still have a chance."

"So what do you expect me to do..?" Ichigo asks staring at the ground "Do you expect me to pretend not to be in love with her..? Do you want me stop loving her? To lie to myself! I can't do that! I WOULD RATHER DIE THEN STOP LOVING HER!"

"Ichigo…" Rukia trails off looking at him with loving and sad eyes.

"We understand that just…try…just until we can find out what charges you would be faced with if they did find out," Urahara says.

"Yes, I'll have Soi Song look into it right away, just give us some time, we're on your side," the cat says with a swish of her tail.

"…Alright, if that's all you wanted, we will be leaving." Ichigo says grabbing Rukia's hand and leaving the shop, never letting go of her hand the whole way home.
