CHAPTER TWO: Let's Play a Game!

When the sun rose, everyone in the house was up but Rukia and Ichigo. "What do you think is taking then so long, Karin? Rukia-chan is usually the first one up, helping me with breakfast." Yuzu asked.

"Knowing you and dad, you'll be the first ones to find out...just don't come crying to me when Ichigo gets pissed at you for invading his privacy!" Karin warned. "RIDICULOUS!" Isshin cried! "When do my little Yuzu and I EVER invade Ichigo's privacy?" He asked innocently. "Aw just SHUT UP! Geeze, you two are so dumb!" She told them.

Upstairs, Rukia was just opening her eyes. She looked around the room and realized her current situation...SHE SLEPT IN THE SAME BED AS ICHIGO! The sound of her panicking woke up Ichigo. "What the hell is wrong with you already this morning?" He yelled. "ICHIGO! Why didn't you sleep in the closet?" She yelled back at him. " HELLO! THIS IS MY ROOM! THAT is MY bed! And I can't help it if YOU fall asleep in it!" He said as he started to laugh. Ah..he's laughing, smiling! He's so hot! Rukia thought. Wait a minute...HOT? She blushed. "Get dressed, I'd like to take you somewhere."

He said, kind of blushing himself. Her stomach did a somersault. A DATE? She thought. First the incident last night, now he wants to take her somewhere? Ichigo...isn't himself! But she didn't hesitate to dash into the shower, and pick out the prettiest of Yuzu's dresses! When she was ready, she walked to the top of the stairs. She saw Ichigo standing there. He was wearing a thin white t-shirt that stuck to him like a second skin, with a red star and blue trim on it, with a pair of jeans and black shoes. He looked so sexy, with the way he was standing...and his facial expression...he was just creaming "kiss me!!!" and she wanted to, but she couldn't!

When he saw her at the top of the stairs he thought he had died and gone to heaven...or soul society...or whatever! She was wearing a blue and red sun dress, with a pair of black flats. We kind of match! As she was about to go upstairs and change..."WOW, Rukia! Y-you look r-really great!" I guess he didn't notice...not hard to believe! She snickered. "What's so funny?" He asked with the cutest 'Dumb-look' she'd ever seen! "Oh...it' nothing!" "o-okay...you ready to go now?" he asked. "yup!"

Every time he looked at her along the way she looked more, and more beautiful! Snap OUT of it, ICHIGO! He yelled at himself. When they got there he immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her to one store in particular. His hand was warm...strong, yet gentle she never noticed these little things! "Aha! Here it is!" He went right to the hold rack, and grabbed a purple dress that had sparkles and chappy the rabbit sown onto one corner. "OH ICHIGO! I LOVE IT!!!!" She squealed! "Where did you find it?" He pointed to an aisle on the right of them. "Right over there, there's a bunch of 'em just like the one you're holding! You really need to get your own clothes. HA HA!" He was laughing again!

They walked over and looked at the sample patterns. "Let's see, what's your color? I know purple looks good on you, and blue" She blushed, and he saw. "...how about yellow?" He asked. "Uhm.. I'm thinking orange..." She said, referring to his spiky hair. "Orange, right! How could I have left that one out?" She picked out some Orange, Green, and White dresses. He even talked her into getting silver and black. They were leaving the store, when Rukia spied a silky red nightgown, CLEARLY meant to be lingerie, but she had no idea what that was. " Ichigo...can I get this as my pajamas...Please?" She

asked with the most adorable look on her face. How could he say no to those eyes? " Uh, sure... if you think you'll be comfortable!" He told her. "YAYYY Ichigo! You're the BEST!" she exclaimed. "heh" he muttered and he blushed so hard he had to hide his face so she couldn't see.

The walk home was probably the most embarrassing. Rukia walked slightly ahead of Ichigo, and a car was speeding towards her. "RUKIA!!" He yelled, but all she did was stop in front of the car.! He pulled her arm and managed to get her away from the car in time...but when they landed, she landed right on top of him!

His hands, his legs, his feet, his arms, all of his sweet...warm body was under her! She jumped up, tripping over her own two feet. Scrambling to get all the bags she had dropped.

"Rukia, are you okay?" He asked once she had finally calmed down. "Yes, thanks to you! If you hadn't saved me...I'd be a goner! I fight hollows...Arrancar, even Espadas and other things women don't usually do! But to think that a car...could scare me like that...I thought I was gonna die..."

She was crying now. Ichigo hugged her and let her cry. "If I got hurt, you could have been blamed!" He wiped her eyes. "It's okay, you'll be fine as long as I'm with you!" He declared. It was time for the sunset so he changed route to the park so they could watch it. They sat on a hill and watched the sunset,

Rukia leaned on his shoulder and wanted to stay there forever.

Her skin got goose bumps when he ran his fingers through her raven hair. She sighed and he knew he had done a good job at soothing her. "Ichigo...I.." She whispered. Shit! Why can't I talk to him? I'm acting so weak! It's just Ichigo! "I had a lot of fun today! Thank you, Ichigo!" She managed to get out.

"We should get home before it gets too dark." He said. "yeah... we should." She agreed, feeling kinda bad that he didn't acknowledge her appreciation. Half way home he said "You're welcome. Rukia. I had fun too. We should d-do it again some t-time!" She smiled, silently agreeing.

When they walked in the door Yuzu and Isshin were standing in the doorway waiting for them. "where have you two been?" Yuzu asked. Ichigo said not a word. Rukia showed them the bags. "Ichigo took me shopping, Kurosaki-sama!" "Ohhh how fun! Can I see what you got later?" Yuzu asked Rukia. "Sure, no problem! HA HA!" Rukia said in her innocent voice. While the girls were talking Isshin whispered to Ichigo "So you got her something nice you could look at her in, eh?" "Shut up, stupid!"

He yelled back at him, and went up to his room. Rukia came in shortly after.

She plopped on the bed next to him. His ear tingled as she whispered "hiii..." into it. "GODDAMNIT! Would you not do that?!" He yelled. "well I'm sorry for being nice!" she threw back."a little too nice!" "What's that supposed to mean?" She yelled. "Nothing...it was just a little weird that's all!" But in reality, he loved it! It was so sexy. He wanted her to do it again, to make him 'mad' but instead of doing that she broke the silence with..."Let's Play A Game!!!"
