"Since when did you guys start goin out" Angel asked. "More importantly When did Uryu start showing his true feelings" Ichigo Teased. "That's none of your buisness" Uryu said as he blushed. "Ohh I get it he was feeling lonely after seeing Angel and Chad get together and he wanted a girlfriend too" Rukia teased. "NO........That's not it" Uryu said. "then what is it then" Ichigo asked. "......" Was all he said as he looked down. "Ichigo.....Isn't it obvious.....he's in love with her" Angel said. "but since when did she became his girlfriend" Ichigo asked. Angel Shrugged. "Not sure ask him" She said. "Since when Uryu" He asked. ".......Since last night" he said as he looked at her and smiled slightly. "Don't tell me you did...........IT" Said Ichigo as his eyes widened. "NOO WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" uryu said as he blushed madly. Angel laughed. "You may not've done that but I can see in your eyes that you DID sleep with her" She said. "How would you know" he asked. "Cause it's written all over your face" she said. "...I.....I had a bad dream.....and I was afraid it might've come back.....So I asked him to" Orihime said shyly. "but Orihime he might've tried to do something to you" Ichigo said. "I would NEVER do such a thing to my beautiful Hime like that..........I love her very much yes but I would never do such a thing such as that" Uryu said as he hugged her gently. "AWWWWW HOW SWEET" Said Angel and Rukia at the same time. Orihime blushed. "Rukia aren't YOU getting lonely now that everyone but ichigo and you have either boyfriends or girlfriends" Orihime said. "N-No not really" She lied. Ichigo Smirked. "of corse she has a boyfriend and that's Kon" Ichigo Teased. "ICHIGO he's not my boyfriend he's just a stuffed Animal" She said. "Really he seems very fond of you" He said as he inched closer to her face. She backed away a little. "I don't like him like that..................I like someone else" She said. "You don't like sdomeone else you LOVE someone else" Said Angel. "She's right I do LOVE someone else......but it isn't Kon" She said. Just then Ichigo kissed her. Everyone's eyes widened then Angel and Orihime Cheered with joy."I KNEW I KNEW he loved her" Said Angel. "But what about the laws" Chad asked. "They won't ever find out..............I promise......Plus I'm a Substitute Soul Reaper right that's almost like the real thing" Said Ichigo when he broke the kiss and smiled as he looked at her. "As long as we keep our mouths shut about it they'll never know.......Not even Byakuya" "But Ichigo you'll have to tell him sooner or later....but when you tell him be ready cause let's just say that he WON'T be too happy about it" She said. "What about Gramps with you and Chad" Ichigo asked. "Remember what Maria said about that rule....I can date Tora as long as both of us can protect eachother from harm" She said. "Oh well no more time to talk school starts in four minutes let's go" Said Rukia as she ran tward the school. Ichigo followed behind her followed by the rest of the group. Hours later they were at lunch. They all sat together on the roof of the school ith Keigo, Mizuiro, Chizuru, Michiru, Tatsuki, Ryo, and Mahana. "Your guys are luky to have boyfriends" Said Michiru. "Don't worry someday you'll find someone" Said Angel. "I think Tatsuki MIGHT'VE found someone I see her blushing alot in Art Class" Said Orihime. "REALLYY Who do you think it could be" Asked Angel. "My Guess Mizuiro I mean they DO make a cute couple" She said. "O-ORIHIME Why do you have to say something like that" Mizuiro and Tatsuki said at the same time. "See I told ya they make a cute couple" Orihime said as all the girls laughed as they saw Tatsuki and Mizuiro blushing. "Don't worry you two we're only joking" Said Angel as she calmed down. "You better be" Said Tatsuki. "But I think Keigo might like someone...but we aren't gonna say who though" Said Orihime. "You know now that you mention it I do see Mr. Asano blushing alot lately whenever we're in class.......and yet it's always a class where Michiru's in" Said Mizuiro. "Hmm.....I think you might be right Mizuiro" Said Tatsuki as she glared at Keigo. "What w-why are you looking at me for" Keigo said. "Because you're blushing right now dumbass" Said Ichigo. "W-WHAT I am not" He said as he blushed even more. All the girs laughed again. "I guess the boys are starting to show their 'true' colors right everyone" Said Angel as she calmed down to a giggle. Everyone noded their heads in agreement. "Oh you shut up Nerdet" Said Keigo as he glared at her. Angel laughed even more. "Me....A Nerdet......don't think so dude I may be smarter then you but I'm not a nerd.......that's Ichigo" She said. "WHAAAT HEYYY" Said Ichigo as he glared at her. Just then the bell rang to get to their next classes. "See ya after school everyone" Said Michiru as she got up and walked away holding her lunch bag in her hands. Keigo fallowed her. Ryo, Mahana, and Chizuru left soon after. "We should get to our classes guys or else our Senseis will count us tarty" Said Orihime. "Alright see ya next hour" Said Angel and Rukia at the same time as they headed off to their classes. Angel kissed Chad on the Cheeck before she left. Chad looked at Angel and smiled. She looked at him then winked. When School was finally over for the day Everyone was walking home. As they were walking Rukia looked over at Kaigo, Mizuiro, Tatsuki, and Michiru Walking home together as well. "Hey Angel.....Check this out" She said as she motioned Angel over. "What is it" She said as she walked over. When she looked at Keigo she saw that he was blushing but he was also looking away from Michiru. She looked over at Tatsuki talking to her as Mizuiro was talking to Keigo. "I wonder what they're talking about" She said. "Probibly about what you and me said during lunch" Said Orihime as she too looked over at them. "Maybe we pushed them a little too hard" Said Angel worriedly. "Either that or you probibly just embarassed them so much that they won't even talk to eachother in the same way as they used to" Said Ichigo. Angel wacked him in the back of the head. "Not what I ment ya moron" She said. "Maybe we should talk to them" Orihime Sugested. "Maybe your right Orihime........Maybe we should go appoligize to them" Angel said sadly. "I don't think that's nessisary anymore Angel.....look" Ichigo said as he smiledand pointed to where their other friends were. Angel fallowed his finger and watched as Keigo was smiling but blushing as he was saying something and Michiru was looking at him. Then she smiled and looked off to the side. "Even if it isn't true we still have friendship.....Right" Michiru said as she looked back at him. "Right.......But Michiru.......what if it is true....What if Orihime and Shiki are right about Mizuiro liking Tatsuki and me.......liking you" Keigo asked. "If it were true.........Then I would be happy" She said as she looked at him and smiled but blushed a then Tatsuki whispered something in her ear. "If he truely does like you then you should kiss him on the cheeck then run away then let's see if he'll chase after you then you'll know that orihime and Shiki would be right or not" She whispered. "But what if he doesn't" She asked. "I have a feeling that he might" just then she senced something bad nearby. Keigo noticed it too. "We should probibly get going there's a movie I really wanna watch and I want all of you to watch it with me we should hurry" He lied. just then Michiru kissed his cheeck then ran off. "Can't I've got Homework to do gotta go see ya" She said unknowingly that she was running streight tward the sence they were feeling. Keigo's eyes widened as he saw a large shadow with large red eyes on the wall on the end of the street Michiru was turning on. He ran after her and caught her before it could have grabbed her. "A hollow....but why would it have tried to capture Michiru" He thought. "Are you alright" He asked. "Yeah I'm alright......What was that for" She asked as she looked into his eyes. he smiled. "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you" He said as he hugged her then kissed her forehead. She blushed when he kissed her. Then she smiled and laid her head on his chest. "Orihime and Shiki were right.....he does like me" She thought.

"I'd better get goin or else my mom's gonna worry" She said as she got up and started to walk home. Tatsuki nudged him. "You'd better walk her home just in case that hollow shows up again" She whispered. He noded his head. "Wait up Michiru I'll walk you home" He said as he ran after her. (This is after Ichigo and the gang get back from Hueco Mundo case you didn't know) "A hollow" Said Rukia as her Soul pager went off. "Could it be the one that almost attacked Michiru" Angel asked. "Most likely cause it's closer to them then us but it's still close by" She replied. "I'll get it" Said Angel as she was about to run after it but Chad grabed her hand. "Not this time....let Ichigo handle it" He said. ".....Fine" She said as she pouted. He looked at her and smiled then gave her a gentle noogie. She giggled. "Ichigo" Said Rukia as she used her glove to push Ichigo's Soul reaper form out of his body. "Sheesh ya could've warned me before you did that" He said as he glared at her. "Just shut up and come on" She said as she ran tward the hollow. He smiled. "I love it when she gets serious" He said just before he ran after her. "I'd say he loves everything about her" Angel said as she giggled. "Just like Chad loves everything about you" Said Orihime. "True and Uryu with you" She said as she looked at her. "yup" she said as they both laughed. "But we love them just as much" they both said at the same time. Uryu and Chad smiled. Angel looked at Ichigo. "They make a happy couple.........but they fight like an old married couple" She said as she giggled a little. Just then she felt Chad's strong but soft arms wrap around her sholders. "Let's just hope we're not like that in the future" He said. "I just hope we never fight a whole lot" She said. "But if you ever have a HUGE fight which I'm sure you will someday just always remember that both of you will always love each other no matter what" Orihime said. Angel and Chad both Noded their heads in agreement as they smiled. "We should hurry home I have to fix dinner for Tora and take a shower for tomarrow" Angel said as her and Chad said their goodbyes. "We should head home too Orihime" Said Uryu as he held out his hand for hers. She smiled, noded, then gently grabed his hand and they started walking home. That night After Ichigo had finished his shower he walked into his room only wearing long pants and a towel he was using to dry his hair. He saw Rukia sitting on the window seal reading a manga to herself. "ok this is weird you're actually reading a book" He said. Just then she threw it at his head. He caught it before it fell to the ground. "Hey what the hell was that for" He asked somewhat angerly. "Just because I'm doing something different for a change doesn't mean that you have to say anything about it" She said not looking at him. She looked out the window in sadness. He looked at her then walked tward her. "Ok what's wrong" He said as he leaned on her closet door and crossed his arms, looking at her worriedly. "it's nothing Ichigo I'm fine" She said not looking at him. "Rukia I can tell that something's wrong.............Did something happen at school........Did something happen in your Foods class that I should know about.........Look at me dammit" he said as he put his hands on her sholders. "It's nothing Ichgio" She said still not looking at him. "I know it's SOMETHING Rukia......You've been acting like this since I picked you up from your foods class so I KNOW it's something that happened in that class" He said. "I......I can't tell you" She said. "You're gonna tell me weather you want to or NOT Rukia" He said as he looked at her even more worried and somewhat angery. He hugged her. "Weather you want to or not you're going to tell me...........Is someone bothering you.........Are they saying or doing bad things to you" He asked worriedly. She looked out the window as tears started to form in her eyes then she turned and cried into his chest. "What if someone is saying bad things to me" She asked. "Then I would beat them up you know that.......But What I would say is 'If you hurt my Rukia again I'll beat you to a bloody pulp' that's what I'll say should he ever hur-" Just then he stoped when he noticed a cut on her face when she looked up at him still crying. He looked at her then kissed her cut then hugged her again. "I'll make sure he gets punished" He said as he looked down at her. She looked up at him then wraped her arms around his stumich and continued to cry in his chest as she hugged him. He hugged her back then picked her up bridal style. "For a shorty you're heavy.......but you're nothing I can't handle Yuzu and Karin are heavier then you are when I sometimes carried them around when they were little" He said as he sat down on his bed and set her on his lap then grabed the book she was reading before. "So let's see what book you were reading" He said as he looked at the book's cover. "Hmmmm........'D.' huh......Isn't this Karin's book" He asked as he looked at her. "she let me borrow them" Rukia said as she calmed down. "I've read this series before from what karin told me it was really good but I didn't find it as good as she said" he said. "To me it's fasinating" Rukia said as she looked up at him. He kissed her lips. "You're cute when you get angery........And I love it" He said when he broke the kiss. He looked over at the clock as it said 10:45 PM. "We should get some sleep we have school tomarrow remember" He said as he let her go as she got up and started heading tward her closet but Ichigo grabed her and kissed her lips once more. "Goodnight Rukia" He whispered. She smiled and hugged him. "I love you Ichigo" She said quietly when she broke the hug and started walking tward her coset again. When he saw her closet door shut he looked down in sadness. "why didn't I notice that cut before I mean yeah sure I saw something red but I thought that was some ketchup that she accidentily squrted on herself or something........Whoever's hurting my Rukia is going to pay dearly" He said as he looked at the window in anger. He climbed in his bed and tried to sleep. In the middle of the Night Angel woke up with another terrifying dream. "What do these deams mean.....is something bad gonna happen to any of us" She thought as she looked at Chad who was sitting in his bed loooking at her worriedly. "Tora.....what are you still doing up" She asked. "Couldn't sleep" He simply said as he sat down next to her. "Bad dream again" "Yeah they've been coming alot more recently and I'm not sure why......but they mean something's gonna happen" She said as she looked down in sadness. just then she felt Chad's strong arms wrap around her. "I won't let anything bad happen to you..........I promise you that" He said as he lifted her up and put her on his lap. "I love you far too much to even let you get caught by Sophie's darker half No mater what she tries to do to us I'll protect you with my life for as long as I live" He said as he lookede at her. She smiled and kissed his lips tenderly. "And I won't let anything happen to you" She said as she broke the kiss her nose touching his looking deep into his eyes. She kissed him once more but a little more passionant. "I love you so much my Tora" She thought as they kissed. He laid down on his side dragging her with him letting her have the side where the wall was, breaking the kiss. "You look beautiful in the moonlight....It capures the radiance from your georgous eyes perfectly" He said gently and sweetly as he gently stroked her long brown hair. She smiled and kissed his cheeck. he smiled back then wraped his arms around her holding her tightly. "We should get some sleep" He said. "Yeah" She said as she cuddled up next to him. He smiled once more and hugged her tightly. "Goodnight my Beautiful Angel" He said as he closed his eyes. "Goodnight my handsome Tora" She said.

Two days later it was finally Saturday Morning. Chad woke up to the smell of Bacon and eggs. He got out of bed and walked out of the room. He saw Angel putting the eggs on the pan then putting two eggs in a bowl and stirred it. She noticed his spiritual pressure. "Morning Tora Sleep well" She said not looking at him. he tenced up with eyes widened. "H-how'd you know I was awake" He asked. "I can tell by your spiritual pressure.......I guess mine's not the only one that tends to let out less when I sleep" She said as she looked at him and smiled. But her smile quickly went away as he kissed her. "it's FINALLY saturday so what should we do since we don't have school today" She asked. "Whatever you want to do" He said as he wraped his arms around her waist and hugged her smiled and leaned her head on his chest. After Breakfast they went out on a Morning walk. Along the way they saw Orihime and Uryu. "Huh.....Tora look.....it's orihime and uryu.....but what're they doing out here so early" She said as she pointed at them. "I'm not sure" He replied. "HEY ORIHIME" She called out to her. orihime looked at her then waved. "HI ANGEL" She yelled back but then Uryu gently covered her mouth. "not so early in the morning people are still trying to sleep" He said. "Sorry uryu" She said sadly through his hand. he removed his hand from her lips and held her hand tightly. "it's alright Just try not to yell okay" He said as he smiled then kissed her cheeck. "Alright" She said as she smiled back. 'So why are you guys out so early on a saturday morning" Angel asked. "We thought we should head to the Grocery store before it gets really busy becides right now it's only nine thirty so we'd better get there before the ten-o-clock rush hour begins" Explained Orihime. "I'm always an early riser so I just taged along just in case a hollow showed up" Uryu said. "Why are you two out on a beautiful Sadurday morning" They both said at the same time. "We're just out on morning walk That's all" Angel said. "Uh-huh Suuure you are I betchya your out on a Date" said orihime. "nope we coudln't figure out what we wanted to do so I said 'HEY maybe we should take a morning walk that always works for me whenever I don't know what to do for the day" so he's like 'Good idea' So here we are" She said as she laughed whe she changed her voice as she spoke Chad's words. Orihime laughed with her. Chad only smiled as Uryu smirked. After they talked for awhile they said their goodbyes and they both started walking home while Uryu and Orihime walked to to grocery store. On the way home they saw Ichigo and Rukia in the park. "Man we're just finding all our friends today.....but Ichigo doesn't look very happy I wonder what's up" Angel said quietly as they hid behind a tree. "Rukia why did you run away from the house just now" He asked as he glared at her angerly but with worry as well. "There's something I have to do and I have to do it alone" She replied as she turned around to leave but Ichigo grabed her hand, pulled her to hum hugging her tightly not realesing her. "I won't let you go not untill you tell me what it is you have to do" he said. "I have to take something to a friend in my foods class" She said slying about the friend part. Ichigo's eyes narrowed. "I don't believe you Rukia I can tell You're lying" He said as he tightened his grip on her. He bint down and whispered in her ear. "you know how much I worry about you but I worry because I care for you.......because I love you and I can't bare to see you physically hurt" he whispered as he huggged her tightly. "So tell me...............Why did you run away from home just now" He asked as he looked into her eyes not wanting to let her go. "...Let's just say that I do have people picking on me...I've tried to asked them nicely to stop but they just don't listen" She said as she looked down in sadness. "If I came with you they will listen to me" he said as he smiled. "no Ichigo....if you fallow me anymore then they'll beat me up rather then you......they're tuough and their spiritual pressures are mostly strong" She said. "So what Just because they have high spiritual pressures doesn't mean I can't beat them up...............if they're hurting you then I'll beat them up I can handle them I've delt with alot worse then them just trying to save both you and Orihime" he said as he looked down at her and smiled. She smiled back but just then he kissed her. "I love you more then anything Rukia.........and I want you to know that.........Come on let's see what these guys are made of when I get through with them" He said as he grabed her hand and walked tward the graveyard where Rukia was heading off to earlier. "Awwww how sweet" Said Angel quietly as she leaned her head on the tree bark when they both came out of their hiding place. "They're ment for eachother" Just then she felt Chad's strong arm wrap around her sholders. "Just like we are" She said lovingly as she took her head off the tree bark and leaned it aguinced his chest and gently grabed the hand that wraped around her sholders with hers. She looked up at him and smiled then kissed his lips. but when they kiss She felt Chad's tounge lightly touching her lower lip. She touched his tounge with her own deepening the kiss. When they broke the kiss they smiled. "And what was that kind of kiss for" She asked. "A promise.....That we'll always be together no matter what" He said. She smiled then kissed his lips passionately once more as she wraped her arms around his neck and he wraped his other arm around her weist. When they broke the kiss again she looked at her watch. "We should get home it's getting late and the sun's aready setting" She said. He released her from his grasp and held out his hand for her. "Let's go home then" He said. she smiled and grabed his hand gently and they both walked home hand in hand. When Ichigo and rukia entered the cemetary there were a group of three men still wearing the same high school uniform. "I thought I told you not to bring Kurosaki" Said the man in the middle. "He fallowed me when I didn't realized it" She said. The man in the middle clinched his hand into a fist. "now you're really gonna get it woman" He said as he poped his knukles then put in a pair of silver knuckles. "Not if I have anything to say about it" Said Ichigo as he quickly charged him. Ichigo tried to punch the man in the face but he didged him and punched him in the stumich. "Your a weakling compared to me Kurosaki you won't stand a chance aguinced me in a fight" He said. just then Ichigo caught him by surprise when he kicked his legs forcing him to loose his balence and trip. Then he punched him in the eye. "Why are you fighting Kurosaki You don't have anything to do with what Miss Kuchiki's in" He said. "Maybe not.........But anyone who hurts her will have to answer to me" He said as he punched him in the stumich then hit him on one of his volnerable pressure points which them paralized him for a while. "ICHIGO" Yelled Rukia as she ran to him with worry. just then the man's goons caught her. "Don't come any closer to her if you do then we'll kill her with this" Said the man holding her left arm as he held a knife. "We made a plan for just in case you didn't come alone" Said the man holding her right arm as he looked at Rukia. "You wouldn't" He said as his eyes widened. he looked at them now really starting to get mad. "OH they would Kurosaki if I tell them too" Said the leader as he got up. "Let her go you bastard" Ichigo said angerly as he turned around. He tried to attack him but the leader dodged and kicked him in the side. "Just give up Kurosaki You cannot beat me" he said. "ICHIGO" Rukia said Worriedly. 'Don't worry Rukia.....I've taken worse then this" He said as he got up. he punched the leader in the face then kicked him on his stumich. They faught for what seemed like all night untill finally one of them won.....Ichigo...won the fight though was beat up badly. he fainted a few seconds after he landed the final blow on the leader therefore knocking him out. The leaders two goons ran away freeing Rukia. "ICHIGO" She yelled as she ran to him. She sat down by his side and laid his head on her lap. "Are you alright Ichigo" She said as she gently shook him beginning to cry. He opened his eyes and looked at her as he sees her crying. He smiled and put his hand on her cheeck. "I'll be alright don't worry......Come on smile....At least I'm not dead right" he said as he struggled to sit up. She stood on her kneez and hugged him tightly as she cried. "Do you realize how worried I was Watching you guys fight I thought he was going to kill you" She said as she cried in his sholder. He smiled then hugged her back. "Rukia.......It'll take a lot to kill me......a WHOLE lot.......I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you earlier" He said sweetly but then loooked down in sadness. "......Ichigo" She said softly. He looked up but before he could say anything She kissed him passionately. He kissed her back. When they broke the kiss she began to perfom her kido on his wounds. "Why is it that you are always so damn stubburn Ichigo" She said. "Because if something ever happened to my Rukia or any of our friends then I would kick whoevers ass that hurts them like those guys back there that tried to hurt you" He said as he touched her cheeck. When she was done with her kido she looked at him worriedly. "......Come on take off that worried look on your face" he said as he pulled her to him and hugged her. "I'm fine now thanks to you" he said just before he kissed her. When he broke the kiss he looked up and noticed that it was already night time. "Come on......Let's go home babe" He said as he got up then held out his hand for hers as he smiled lovingly. She smiled then gently grabbed his hand. he pulled her up and they both started walking home together.
