Watching her roll over in her sleep Hitsugaya sighed. She looked peaceful and he didn't want to disturb her...But it was now or never.

Sneaking over to where she slept, he grabbed her sword and bound her in the highest possible level of kido. He didn't want to take any chances...

Yawning she cracked her eyes open at some movement...she wondered who it could be, then it hit her. 'Oh no!! I forgot to put kido on him last night!' She thought. She quickly tried to jump up but realized she couldn't.

"What the--" She muttered, looking for her sword she started to panic. It was nowhere in sight. Looking around her she couldn't find Hitsugaya either.

Struggling to break free, she started rolling around. 'This is getting me nowhere...I need to concentrate...How could I have been so stupid?! Dammit!'

Thinking that there was no use in struggling anymore she just laid there and tried to think of a different way to escape.

--------------------

"ICHIGO!!! WAKE UP SON!!!"

Ichigo just barely had enough time to register what was going on before he blocked a kick to the head.

Growling he punched his father, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING AT SIX IN THE MORNING?!"

Holding his head he crunched up in a corner, "That's my boy!"

Ichigo shook his head, "You're insane..." All of a sudden Rukia, Renji, Kira, Orihime, Uryu, Chad, Karin, Yuzu, Byakua, Ukitake, Urahara, Yoruichi and many more people arrived.

All looked like they just rolled out of bed. "What is going on up here?" Asked Byakua stoicly...

Ichigo and Isshin looked at each other.

"Well, you see," Said Ichigo, trying to find some logical explanation to tell Byakua. Karin and Yuzu were just looking at him amused...partly because they already knew there was nothing logical about a father trying to attack his son at any given chance.

"There's this--"

"IT IS OUR ANNUAL FATHER/SON WAKE UP CALL!!!!" Yelled Isshin.

Byakua raised an eyebrow and looked at Ichigo, who sighed and nodded in return.

Mumbling to himself that he didn't have time for pestering, Byakua signalled everyone else to go back to their barracks. Only Renji, Rukia stayed.

"Damn Ichigo, you're father gets weirder and weirder everytime I see him..."

Rukia only laughed.

Ichigo sighed, "It's not my fault! Karin probably kicked him too hard in the head again..."

Renji rolled his eyes, "Whatever." He mumbled and went back to squad six barracks.

That left just Rukia and Ichigo in dead silence. Though it wasn't an awkward silence considering all the time they used to spend together in Ichigo's room.

"So...how did things go with Orihime?"

Rukia smiled, "Well, I got her thinking about it at least. She told me that she never really thought about him like that...but she said she'd get back to me on it...What about Uryu?"

Ichigo smirked, "I got a confession."

Rukia raised an eyebrow, "He just told you?"

"Well, no...I had to threaten him a little...but it's a confession so it still counts."

Rukia chuckled, "Figures...so, what do we do now?"

Ichigo sat on his bed, "Nothing I guess...we still have to wait for Orihime to confess...but now that you got her thinking about it...the confession should come a lot faster. She'll start to notice the littlest things about Uryu...and we're hoping that she'll like them."

Rukia quirked an eyebrow, "Since when did you become Dr. Love?"

Ichigo smirked, "Practice."

Rukia rolled her eyes, "Well, I'm hungry...want to go eat?"

Ichigo nodded and walked her out the door. Both were so involved with talking about the plan, they failed to realized that Ichigo subconsciously put his hand on the small of her back.

---------------------

"Orihime?...Orihime?"

Orihime snapped back into reality, "Oh! I'm sorry! I just went into a daydream and was thinking about some stuff and kind of forgot I was walking!"

Uryu blinked, "Um...okay....So...do you want to get some breakfast?"

Orihime pursed her lips and thought about it for a minute, "Sure! Why not!"

Uryu smiled, "Okay then, I heard from Urahara that there is this really nice place not far from where we are..."

Orihime smiled. 'He really is kind of cute now that I think about it...and he's got adorable blue eyes...' She thought as a blush tinged her cheeks.

Uryu looked at the ground, 'Orihime's looking at me really weird...I wonder if I have something on my face...'

"Whew! It's hot out here isn't it?" He said as he used arm to wipe off his face. 'Hm...nothing on my face...teeth maybe?' He carefully smoothed over all of his teeth. 'Nope, nothing there either...Is she blushing? Hm...Maybe she's thinking about me...or...it could be someone else...But maybe...just maybe...it's me...'

---------------------

Momo laid her head back down, it was no use...there was no way she was getting out of this kido.

It was already midday and she was tired, breathing heavily and was indeed very pissed off...'If he thinks he's seen the last of me then he is dead wrong. Once I find him I'm going kick his ass into next year! I will get revenge!!'

Not giving up entirely she used every ounce of her spiritual pressure and with the sheer will power to break it....she broke it!

She blinked a couple of times before she finally realized the she had broken it..

Smiling to herself and getting up she stretched out her muscles. Oh yeah, she was definitely going to kick his ass.

---------------------

Hopping from tree branch to tree branch he made a sharp turn and headed right, 'If this doesn't get them off my case I don't know what will.' He thought.

Only two hours after leaving Momo he started getting chased by trackers, their leader being Soi fon.

Hiding behind a tree trunk he took a minute to catch his breath. "THERE HE IS!" He heard them yell.

"Dammit!" He mumbled and started hopping away.

He had only one more trick up his sleeve and he hoped it worked.

Hopping to one branch he quickly went up the center of the tree. He waited for the team of trackers to run by before swiftly bringing himself down and going in a different direction. 'Suckers.' He thought childishly.

---------------------

"Captain Kurosaki, Lieutenant Kuchki!!" Someone shouted through the crowd; it was Hanataro.

"Hey Hanataro...what's up?" Asked Ichigo. Hanataro shrugged, "Um...I- uh...Don't really know...I just got so excited when I saw you two....I guess I overreacted...and didn't think about what to say..."

Rukia laughed, "It's alright, and please, you can still call me Rukia."

"Same here, my name isn't Captain Kurosaki, at least not to you...Ichigo is still cool..."

Hanataro beamed, "Thank you...so...are you two on a date or something?"

Both Ichigo and Rukia flushed cherry red, "N-no...what gave you that idea?" Asked Rukia.

"Well, you two have been pretty close to each others sides since Ichigo came to live here for a couple months...Captain Matsumoto says that you guys have been seeing each other..."

Ichigo's eyes narrowed, "Did she now?"

Rukia was looking at her feet, "Well Ichigo...Thanks for breakfast...but I, uh, have got some paperwork to do...And after that....I've got to visit Byakua for our lunch reservations...Bye!!" She said .

Ichigo stared at the retrieving form of her as she sped off to her own barracks. "Hm...What's with her?" He mumbled.

---------------------

Stopping at a river he splashed his face, he'd been thinking about Momo ever since he left. He was feeling unusually guilty and needed to snap out of it.

'I could have done a timing kido...I didn't have to just leave her there. And did I really have to take her sword? There was no possible way she could have broken my kido...especially not at that level...I should have left her sword...that way, if by some chance she did break it (Which is highly unlikely)...she would be able to defend herself...GAH!!! I need to stop thinking about her!! Remember, it was either that or death...I made the right decision.'

Getting back up he sighed.

*THUMP*

"OW!!" He yelled as something sharp and hard hit the back of his head causing him to stumble back a couple feet. He noticed it was a rock. Clutching his now throbbing head he looked up, only to get hit once again.

The rocks seem to come more frequently now.

Guarding his face he tried to see his attacker and was surprised by who it was.

"Y-you?!!" He yelled half shocked/half scared. The girl seemed thoroughly pissed off.

"How dare you do that to me back there!! You stupid *throws a rock* Stupid *throws another rock* Dumbass!!"

Hitsugaya was dodging rocks like crazy, occasionally though, a few rocks would hit him, he had to admit...the girl had good aim...

He was shocked and a little scared of her at the moment. But at the same time he was also a little happy to see her, and boy did she have a temper. It almost rivalled his.

He almost wanted to laugh at how silly she was acting. But finding that A) she didn't have a sword, B) looked to weary to use kido, and C) she was angry, he decided not too...

Carefully jumping up into a nearby tree, he hoped the branches would help to protect him.

"I'm going to make sure you NEVER get away again!! From now on I'm watching you 24/7!!"

Sticking his head out of a tree he smirked, "And what makes you think I'm going to go back just like that? In case you've forgotten I have the upper hand." He shouted holding her sword.

Hitsugaya was thisclose from getting hit with a kido fireball before he jumped to another tree. 'Note to self, when she's angry, don't talk...'

"HOW DARE YOU!" She yelled and set off another blast.

Hitsugaya jumped to yet another tree, he waited for her to set off another blast, however, it never came...Carefully peeking around the trunk he didn't see her.

"Looking for me?" She asked as she got ready to fire again. Hitsugaya smirked, "You don't give up do you?"

Momo glared, "Never."

Hitsugaya jumped away as she once again fired at him. This continued for a few minutes until suddenly, Momo stopped again.

Not sensing her angry aura anymore Hitsugaya peeked around another tree, he didn't see her and started looking around again. But the second time he looked, he found her on the ground.

Walking up to her, he took in her appearance. She looked tired, more than tired, she looked exhausted. On impulse he turned around to start running but stopped.

His head was telling him to run while he had the chance, while his gut was telling him to help her. Sighing he turned around once again and took in her disheveled appearance, he was guessing that she had used nearly all her strength to break his kido. Which was impressive....he allowed himself a smile, she was a fighter....

Rolling his eyes and sighing once again he picked her up and ran to go find somewhere to camp. 'This stupid girl will be the death of me...'
