Chapter 12

The next couple of days went by really quickly for Ichigo and Rukia and in those days the bond between Ichigo and Rukia had gotten stronger and stronger each passing minute. Everyone could see the thing going on between the two and it was so obvious, so how did the two not see it? Sure the two had pointless arguments from time to time but they never really meant anything, they were pointless things like who turn to make dinner (they took it in turns) and one night they had forgotten whos turn it was, let's just say the argument had resulted into none of them eating that night.

Each day the two would laugh together, be seen together and were inseparable even when Orihime had tried to steal away Ichigo's attention, his mind would still be on Rukia and even after Orihime had threaten Rukia to stay away from Ichigo, she would always cling to him. After that day was done which Ichigo was glad it was over, Rukia and he were walking home as the sun was setting.

"Hey Ichigo…we should really should hurry if we wanna be home before it gets dark" Rukia says 5outspokenly.

"Wow, Rukia's able to speak with confidence now" Ichigo thought but unbeknownst to him a smile had formed on his face…that was until he felt someone smack him across the back of his head.

"Hey Ichigo! Stop daydreaming and keep moving!" Rukia shouted in his ear. Ichigo had then thought that he would tease Rukia and smirked.

"Yes Rukia! I hear you Rukia! I'm moving Rukia!" Ichigo said moving quicker as Rukia had to run to keep up with him. He could see the irk that formed on her head. He just laughed not caring that he would get another slap on the back of his head…again.

''Could it be that I…like her…I'll have to ask someone who knows about things like this" He thought as he place the key into the lock and opened the door, he shook his head trying to forget about his thoughts as he jumped over the couch and sat on it and searched for the remote. Rukia had finally managed to poke her head through the door, last time is just walked in Ichigo had paint seeing as he was painting his room and had splattered Rukia with left over paint he had. It took poor Rukia two days to finally get the paint off her.

She signed and walked into the apartment, cautiously, you never really knew what Ichigo was going to do next. She took a seat next to him, she noticed that he was tensed; she wanted to ask why but decided to go against it, she didn't want to make him any more tensed than he already was.

'What's up with him' Rukia wondered.

Whereas Ichigo was kinda freaking out.

'Crap she's right next to me…do I tell her I like her? Should I make a move on her?' Ichigo thought to himself. He then felt something against his shoulder. He had realized that Rukia must have fallen asleep sometime during the movie and fell against him. Ichigo freaked out even more on the inside.

'Damn, now what…Do I wake her? No it is pretty late … and she did have a rough day' Ichigo thought 'I probably should put her into her room, but I like her here with me…' Ichigo then stayed still for a moment before deciding to put his arm around Rukia, holding her there for a moment.

Grudgingly he got up, had carried Rukia bridal-style to her room and placed her on her bed. Before he left his placed his lips to where they were grazing Rukia. He got up not whispering:

'Goodnight Rukia'

He saw a small smile form on her face and left.

-Rukia's dream-

It was dark, raining. She was all alone in that same alleyway. She heard the laughter's of the many people who hurt her and there were many. She could hear the voices, of the ones she loved and the people who she'd called family., the ones that were held close in her hearts.

'You'll never get anywhere in life.. .'

'You discus me…'

'Why are you even still alive Rukia...'

'Out of people to look like you look like her…'

By now the voices had become louder and louder and were on repeat as they were all roaring with laughter and by the sounds of things they weren't going to stop anytime soon. Rukia had crawled into a ball and covered her ears, hoping she wouldn't be able to hear them but no avail.

'Make it stop! Make it stop!' she thought.

Then a white light had came from the opening, she had seen a tall shadowy figure just standing there, then the laughter and voice had died down. The figure had gotten closer and closer towards Rukia, she closed her eyes terrified of the figure. As it bent down to her level it's hand had reached out and it placed it's hand on her shoulder. There was only one person she knew who would do this…

Ichigo…

The figured had then proven that it as Ichigo, but then it do something Rukia never thought (Dream) Ichigo would do. He gently placed his lips on hers.

Before Rukia could respond (Dream) Ichigo pulled away and whispered:

Goodnight Rukia

With that she smiled and fell into a sleepless dream for the rest of the night. The only thing on her mind was Ichigo Kurosaki.

-End of dream-

What Rukia didn't know what that the same time (Dream) Ichigo had kissed her was the same time the real Ichigo had kissed her.

And what Ichigo didn't know was that Rukia was Dreaming about him. He was laying in his bed thinking about the girl in the other room, Rukia Kuchiki.

And what the BOTH of them didn't know was that there would be someone waiting for the both of them at the beginning of the day at the clinic.

As the sun was beginning to rise a person on a 'morning stroll' was up and about near the clinic impatiently waiting for something or someone.

"Just you wait…I'll get you Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki" They said with a smirk plastered on their face.
