Alright here is the first official chapter of Fourteen Days. Sorry it took so long I had to write the eighth chapter of Return. I would like to thank chuela7795 and anon for their reviews. And also thanks to everyone who put this on their story alert thanks.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach….duh
Day One
Ichigo had to admit a good part about having the house to himself(or almost to himself) was the peace. It was the first time in years he'd had a full night's sleep and now he might even be able to sleep till noo-
"ICHIGO WAKE UP", never mind.
"What", yelled an irritated Ichigo. He was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to get to sleep in with his psycho family and a loud rabbit loving midget.
"How do you work the microwave", asked a now calm Rukia. Ichigo felt himself sweat drop at her sudden change in mood.
"Just give me a minute I'll fix whatever poor food you were butchering just let me wake up", Ichigo was immediately pushed out of bed by none other than Rukia's foot. He chucked his pillow in her general direction but loud laughter told him he not only missed but missed by a lot. He pulled himself out of bed and grabbed a shirt off his desk and walked to the kitchen ignoring Rukia's triumphant face. He looked at the microwave and saw that it looked like the door had been almost ripped off. It was hard to believe one of the most powerful soul reapers to ever exist couldn't tell which button you had to use to open the microwave. Oh well it made it a lot easier to make fun of her.
"Rukia do you see the big button near the bottom", Ichigo asked pointing to the button every human being knew was used to open a microwave. Rukia eagerly nodded as she studied the button as if trying to dissect it with her eyes.
"That is the button used to open the microwave", Ichigo then pressed the button and the door immediately popped open. Rukia looked wonderstruck at how the contraption worked. "Now is there something you wanted to make", Ichigo inquired hoping that afterwards he could go back to bed.
"Yes i would like to make some of that toast stuff your sister usually makes", Rukia said reaching for the bread. Ichigo slapped a hand to his face at the wonder that was Rukia.
"No Rukia you make toast in the toaster", Ichigo explained wishing he was anywhere else.
"Oh well how do you do that", this was going to be a long morning.
"So Ichigo what are we going to do today", Rukia asked after they finished their breakfast(although by the time they fixed everything it was nearly 1, nearly burning down the house slows things down). Ichigo chewed on his burnt toast in thought. What should they do today. Usually Ichigo would go out with his friends while Rukia stayed home and read her romance manga but with his family gone he supposed they could do something at home for once. He wanted to do something alone so he could talk to her about her leaving.
"I don't know we can stay home and watch a movie or something", Ichigo suggested as he took his plate to the sink. He leaned against the counter waiting for Rukia's reply, he hoped she said yes because he couldn't really ask her about it if they were with their friends plus of they watched a movie, preferably with rabbits, she might be more open to answering.
"Ooh yea I would love to watch a movie. Maybe a comedy or action or maybe a romance-", at this point Ichigo started to tune her out. As she babbled on he opened the pantry and grabbed a bag of popcorn. If he was going to watch a crappy movie he was at least going to have popcorn.
"-all the girls at school said it was really good I was supposed to go see it with them but I think we had to take care of a hollow that day. But Orihime let me borrow it since it came out on DVD last week and now is the perfect time to watch so can we please", Rukia ended her long story that Ichigo had been tuning out. She had the puppy eyes she used on teachers to get out of trouble. They didn't work on Ichigo but if he was going to get answers out of her she could do whatever she wanted.
"Sure just let me make the popcorn", as Rukia ran up the stairs to go get the movie he hoped it wouldn't be as bad as he feared.
The movie wasn't as bad as he thought it would be it was much worse. The acting wasn't terrible and the plot was a little interesting but the love between the two leads was unrealistic. Why would a sweet girl like a cold bastard no matter how cute he was.
"But Sasuke if you go after him he'll kill you please you have to give up revenge", the lead actress begged as tears leaked from her eyes.
"Sakura he killed my family I have to do this it's my purpose in life, you wouldn't understand"(haha sound familiar)
"Please Sasuke I'm so in love with you I can hardly stand it. Stay with me and I'll make everyday a joy you don't need to chase your brother I can give you happiness please", the lead was now in tears Ichigo couldn't help but roll his eyes. I mean really the guy saves her multiple times and she saved him from turning into a freak after he got bitten by that snake, it's obvious he returns her feelings can they just confess their love and get it over with already(I wish I mean really 500 episodes and nothing pathetic).
"I can't we don't share the same destiny", at this point Rukia was in tears and Ichigo had to admit she wasn't very attractive when she cries. He tried not to grimace at the snot dripping from her nose. Ichigo felt something on his shoulder and looked and saw Rukia leaning on it, he kinda wanted to tell her to get off but it felt kinda...nice. Ichigo felt her shift trying to get comfortable and tried to ignore the fact his shirt was getting wet with something that was green and not water.
By the end of the movie Rukia was in complete hysterics as the two leads finally admitted their feelings for each other after the one guy slaughtered his brother(which in Ichigo's opinion was kinda demented. Everyone seemed to be on their way to an unrealistic happy ever after but Rukia seemed to be enjoying it so Ichigo decided not to comment on it.
After the credits started rolling Rukia uplifted her head off of Ichigo's shoulder and wiped her eyes away before giving Ichigo a big smile,
"Wasn't that amazing? I mean he was totally in love with her but scared his brother would kill her like he did his family it was so romantic don't you think", Rukia looked at him with such happy eyes that all Ichigo could do was nod before ruining her dream of him liking a movie his dad would probably approve of. Rukia seemed satisfied by his answer and continued chattering while he took the movie out and put the popcorn bowl in the sink. As Rukia continued chattering Ichigo tried to think of the best way to ask her about the call he'd heard yesterday. He decided to just come out and ask her.
"You wanna go pick up some take-out", wait wrong question. How did 'are you planning to leave me for two years' turn into picking up dinner. But he already knew what it was. He knew as soon as he brought it up chances were it would result in an argument and they'd say stuff they didn't mean and he'd feel even worse than he did before. It was sort of a pattern with them. When there was something they didn't want to talk about they simply fought and argued to try and prove they weren't hurt by it. But the thing was they were and if he was going to make her stay pissing her off was not the way to go.
"Sure ooh let's go to that new dango shop", before she was even finished speaking she was slipping on her shoes. Ichigo let a rare smile onto his face at how childish she could be. It was kinda cute. Wait what cute, Ichigo shook his head, that stupid movie must have worn off on him.
"Hurry up carrot top", yep definitely not cute.
"I'm coming just hold on a sec midget ", Ichigo heard Rukia growl but didn't bother looking up as he tied his shoes.
"You know I can't help it that I'm short do you have to remind me of it every day", Rukia asked exasperated.
"Well I can't help that my hair is orange", Ichigo responded rolling eyes.
"Well you could always dye it", Rukia suggested innocently but Ichigo could see the mirth in her eyes.
"I am not dying my hair", Ichigo yelled at her. Kami out of all the soul reapers you could have sent why did you have to send her. There must have been a few who could have been less irritating.
"Asking Kami how you ended up with me won't help you now", Ichigo gave her a shocked look but then went back to his normal scowl. Sometimes he forgot she was a genius. Rukia simply gave a satisfied sigh and continued walking in the direction of the shop.
He had to admit it was kinda nice just walking around no hollows, no annoying friends, and no father breaking into my room to try to kill me. It was very relaxing.
"Baka where are you going the shop is right here your about to pass it", and like always the second he relaxed someone had to ruin. Although he preferred Rukia to a hollow, well most of the time anyway.
"Hello welcome to Okasan's Cafe is it for here or to go", the elderly woman at the counter asked.
"To go", Ichigo answered. He gestured to Rukia to start ordering while he pulled out his wallet.
"I'll have three sticks of dango and a side of fried rice", Rukia ordered putting on the cute face she used with everyone older than her (well at least by looks, Rukia's probably the oldest person on the planet).
"Alright and what about you dear", the woman asked kindly obviously smitten with Rukia and assuming her companion was just as nice.
"I'll have the same thing", Ichigo answered pulling out some cash to pay for it. After the woman rang them up she went to the back to grab their food. Rukia was bouncing up and down on her toes life a kid waiting for their parents to get up on Christmas.
"Alright here you go dears, you know if I do say so myself you two are an adorable couple", the older woman gushed. Ichigo turned bright red and Rukia nearly choked on the piece of dango shed shoved into her mouth the second they'd gotten the bag.
"WHAT WE ARE NOT A COUPLE", they yelled at the same time. They both blushed and turned away.
"Oh really my mistake", but the old woman didn't sound to apologetic. As a matter of fact she looked rather amuses at their reactions. Ichigo looked around and noticed nearly everyone in the restaurant was staring. Ichigo felt his cheeks burning in embarrassment and he looked over and noticed Rukia wouldn't look him in the eye.
"Yeah it was come on Rukia let's go", Ichigo grabbed the bag and practically ran out of the restaurant and he could hear Rukia right behind him. They didn't say anything the whole way home, both too embarrassed to speak.
When they got home they both ate in silence before going back to Ichigo's room. Despite the fact it was only 7:30 both went to bed. But of course both were having trouble sleeping.
Well this was an interesting day. I don't think I made too much progress but at least I still have 13 days left.
End of Day One.
Alright that's it for day one. The next one should be up within the next week. Let me know if there's something you want to happen and what couples (besides ichiruki) you want to happen. Thank you and please review.
