Day Seven

"Well that's great you got another date", Renji said enthusiastically after Ichigo finished telling the guys about his study session with Rukia the day before.

"Yea but I don't know where to take her. I wouldn't suppose any of you have ideas", Ichigo asked and was faced with blank faces.

"A movie", Chad suggested.

"Too cliché", Ichigo protested.

"Take her out to dinner", Uryu told him but was met with the shake of a head.

"We eat out together all the time", Ichigo told them. "Don't you guys have anything more original? I could get better dating advice from those shojo mangas she's always reading", Ichigo groaned and the boys all leaned against the school wall while the last of the lunch crowd headed inside.

"Maybe you should have let her pick", Chad said stumped.

"Isn't that the guy's job", Ichigo huffed obviously irritated by lack of ideas. Everything the others thought of was stuff him and Rukia did anyway. They ate together, watched movies, went to the mall, hell they lived three feet away from each other there wasn't much they didn't do together.

"You know if Rukia heard you say that she'd sock you in the face", Renji stated amused. Ichigo cringed and rubbed his shins remembering the abuse he had received yesterday. Renji was right, Rukia was strong believer a girl could do anything a guy could do. Except reach high shelves, she always made him do that.

"Well she isn't here now", Ichigo reminded him crossing his arms over his chest. The other boys were too busy rolling their eyes to notice the new addition to their group.

"Who isn't here now", a sarcastic voice said. Before Ichigo could turn around he found himself flying headfirst into a wall.

"What the hell was that for midget", he yelled turning around to face a very smug Rukia. She laughed at him and the other boys joined in albeit a little nervously. They were obviously wondering if she was going to be kicking them into walls as well.

"Gossiping is a bad habit Ichigo", Rukia scolded him with her usual smirk. Ichigo straightened up his now ruffled uniform which only made her smirk more. The other guys were now freely laughing figuring she wasn't interested in putting them in the hospital.

"Eavesdropping is a bad habit Rukia", he countered whispering in her ear. She blushed apparently not used to him actually using her name. The other guys wolf whistled at the scene not hearing a word Ichigo said. The whistles caused the remaining people in the courtyard to stare at the couple but they took no notice.

"It wasn't eavesdropping you were just too oblivious to notice my presence", Rukia responded snootily making Ichigo blush sheepishly before getting angry again.

"Well normal people don't sneak up behind other people while they're talking", Ichigo screamed and the audience around them only grew bigger.

"I wasn't sneaking up on you; I thought you would notice me. I obviously overestimated your observation skills", Rukia mocked and the audience oohed at the blow to Ichigo's pride. Ichigo growled quietly and Rukia just gave him a knowing smile as their schoolmates laughed at Ichigo's expense.

"Well maybe it'd be easier to notice you if you were taller than my kneecaps", Ichigo yelled at her making her splutter. The crowd looked between the two as if watching an intense tennis match. The crowd's eyes all glued to Rukia's face as she broke into a big smile. Ichigo took a step back knowing that when Rukia smiled in the middle of a fight he usually ended up unconscious. She took a step towards him and Ichigo grimaced as the crowd watched enraptured. Ichigo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when she placed a chaste kiss on his cheek.

"Aw Ichigo you look so cute when you get angry", Rukia teased giving him a sweet smile before grabbing his hand.

"What are you doing", Ichigo asked flustered while the rest of their audience awwed at the sweet scene.

"Nothing you are walking me to class", Rukia ordered with a playful grin. Rukia dragged him to the stairwell before walking down towards the hallway.

"Wh-what was that", Ichigo coughed out as Rukia stopped around a corner. She turned around to face him but the playful expression hadn't left her face which made Ichigo kind of nervous.

"That was me winning", she told him smugly.

"What do you mean", he asked her confused making her roll her eyes.

"The best way to make you flustered is to flirt with you. Yoruichi was right you really are uncomfortable around girls", Rukia said mockingly. Ichigo blushed slightly but pushed it away as Rukia busted out laughing.

"Geez would you knock it off, you're happier than a kid with a lifetime pass to Super Adventure Land", Ichigo scolded making Rukia look puzzled.

"Super Adventure Land", she repeated sounding confused. Sometimes Ichigo forgot that Rukia hadn't grown up in the human world. She just seemed to fit in so well even with her little quirks.

"It's a theme park. It has a bunch of rides and games along with food that will mess up your digestive system for days", Ichigo explained wincing slightly at the memory of how sick he had gotten after eating five fried oreos.

"Oh I read about that in the manga I read a few weeks ago", Rukia told him jumping up and down on her feet.

"Yeah we used to go all the time when Karin and Yuzu were younger. But now Karin thinks its lame and Yuzu doesn't want to do anything Karin doesn't want to do", Ichigo said remembering Karin's expression when one of the workers had tried to talk to her while it was in an oversized dog costume. That guy was probably mentally scarred.

"The whole thing sounds fun", Rukia told him with a dreamy expression, and Ichigo thought it was funny that she was so excited over something that most ten year olds were sick of.

"Well we can go there after school. It's one of the stops that the city bus makes so we can just go from the stop on the corner", Ichigo shrugged.

"Really", Rukia asked and Ichigo had half a mind to say just kidding just to see her expression but he was supposed to be acting nicer to her.

"Yes really", he told her a little sarcasm leaking into his voice but Rukia didn't notice. The two continued walking to their classroom and Ichigo took notice of the fact that was Rukia's hand was still holding onto his. He didn't know whether he should let go or not but Rukia made the decision for him when she let go of his hand to open the door.

"Hello ", Rukia greeted their teacher as the two walked in. Only a few students besides themselves were there since most were enjoying what was left of their lunch period.

"Hello Rukia I trust you are ready for the quiz", said throwing a pointed look at Ichigo. Ichigo fought the urge to stick his tongue out at her but he held it in for the sake of his reputation.

"Yes ma'am I studied for hours last night", Rukia chirped out making Ichigo gag. He wondered how she could go from mocking him to kissing the teacher's ass in less than ten seconds.

"Well that's good. Mr. Kurosaki maybe you should take some tips from Rukia over here", told him sweetly but Ichigo knew she probably wanted to choke him in his sleep.

"Well I actually did study last night. As a matter of fact Rukia tutored me", he corrected her with as much politeness as he could muster. just gave him a tight smile.

"Well we'll see how well you studied won't we", she asked him and he just gave a small nod before taking his seat in the back. Rukia plopped down next to him just as the bell rang for class. The rest of the class started filing in and Ichigo caught the puzzled glances of several of his friends and a thumbs up from Keigo. Ichigo rolled his eyes and faced the window as got up to pass out the quizzes. Ichigo tuned her out until she got to his desk.

"And no cheating", she warned giving Ichigo a warning look. Ichigo rolled his eyes and looked down at the quiz pleased to know that Rukia had gone over the majority of it last night. He started filling it out and didn't look up again until he heard Rukia stand up. Ichigo watched as she turned in her paper and after looking around the rest of the room was slightly put off that he was one of the last ones with a quiz. He looked over and quickly filled n the last few questions before passing it in. He saw frown as she looked over his answers so he was pretty sure he'd done pretty well. As soon as he sat down he felt his phone vibrate.

What was tht scene lunch about?-Renji. Ichigo glared a little at Rukia for making a scene but she was too busy reading a book with a familiar rabbit on the cover to notice.

Rukia was just trying 2 annoy me, the usual-Ichigo.

Rlly it looked like flirting 2 me-Renji. Ichigo scoffed making half the class turn and look at him including Renji, who had a large smirk on his face. Ichigo gave a brief nod to his viewers before answering Renji's text.

It was not we were just arguing. And so what if it was flirting isn't that the point of ur stupid plan-Ichigo. Ichigo knew that the second sentence made him sound guilty but he wanted to remind his friends of what was really going on so they would leave him alone.

Ok ok chill I was just messing with you bro-Renji. Ichigo rolled his eyes at the text. He was perfectly 'chill', he was the one blowing the whole situation out of proportion.

Oh shut it and besides shouldn't you be happy I got another date-Ichigo. Ichigo heard a small whistle from Renji and he didn't know if he should thank him or smack him for sounding like a pedophile.

Yeah I guess so. So where are you taking her anyway since our ideas were so 'boring'-Renji.

Super Adventure Land-Ichigo.

Super What?-Renji. Ichigo sighed, soul reapers were so deprived.

It's a theme park; it's what humans do for fun-Ichigo. Ichigo heard a small oh from Renji and Ichigo was pretty sure everyone except knew they were having a conversation.

Oh well hav fun I guess-Renji

I will-Ichigo

Thts good-Renji

Can we stop-Ichigo

Bye-Renji

L8er-Ichigo. Ichigo turned off his phone before turning back to the window. The sun was shining effortlessly without the hindering of any clouds. It was early October and the leaves were beginning to change and there was a faint chill in the air making most of the girls wear tights with their uniform. Ichigo was glad he had told Rukia to bring a jacket because the park would likely be chilly and all the attractions were outside.

Ichigo was brought back to the classroom when a loud ringing went off through the room signaling the end of another boring day. Ichigo slowly lifted himself out of his hair before turning to Rukia's seat only to find her already gone. He looked over and saw her at the doorway with Orihime and Tatsuki who were shooting him curious glances. These glances were mirrored by their classmates when Rukia gave him a quick wink before heading out into the hallway. Ichigo felt slightly uncomfortable with the attention but the students quickly averted their eyes when Renji clapped Ichigo on the shoulder and gave all the students a stern glare. Despite his clownish behavior most of the general population found Renji intimidating for reasons Ichigo couldn't fathom. The students quickly made their way out the door and Ichigo and Renji followed at a much slower pace.

"So everything is going good with her", Renji asked as the two made their way to the main entrance.

"Yeah our last date went well and she seemed happy to go on the one today. Although a terrorist could take her to a theme park and she'd probably be happy", Ichigo said making both boys chuckle.

"She is a little eccentric", Renji admitted. The two stopped their discussion as their topic subject appeared leaning on the gate.

"Renji, Ichigo you ready to go", Rukia asked and Ichigo gave a brief nod before Renji gave the two a small wave.

"I'll see you two lovebirds Monday. Ichigo don't do anything I wouldn't do", he teased giving the younger man a wink. Rukia scoffed before heading towards the stop on the corner. Ichigo quickly headed after her and the two walked in comfortable silence before making it to the stop.

"So you're sure the bus goes there", Rukia questioned him with a nervous look. Ichigo could practically feel the excitement oozing off of her and he knew she just really wanted to get there.

"I'm positive. It goes there as long as the park is open. Although the park won't be too busy since it's kind of chilly. It doesn't really get busy until Halloween when they have their Spook Week", Ichigo informed making Rukia look curious.

"Spook Week", she said quizzically looking towards him.

"Yeah it's where all the workers wear costumes and they open the best haunted house. They also have bobbing for apples and face painting, the usual fair stuff. Everyone goes at least once and on Halloween you have to wear a costume just to get in the park", Ichigo explained a small almost smile crossing his face as he remembered all the wacky things he and his friends had done over the years.

"That sounds like fun", Rukia told him a somewhat dreamy smile on her face.

"Well I can take you when it comes along but it's not for another few weeks", Ichigo said simply as the bus pulled up. The two got and Ichigo gave the bus driver the required yen before leading Rukia to the back.

"Really you'll take me", Rukia asked hopefully. Ichigo had to stop himself from laughing at her expression.

"Yes but you can't dress up like Chappie", Ichigo told her making Rukia stick her tongue out at him and ignore him the rest of the bus ride. Ichigo enjoyed the silence since he didn't have to come up with any topics that could lead to awkward questions about their relationship.

"Ichigo come back to Earth, the bus driver said our stop", Rukia told him shaking his shoulders. Ichigo groaned before standing up and following Rukia down the steps and out the door towards the gates to the park.

"Kami that place is huge. What are we going to do first", Rukia questioned him pulling him quickly towards the ticket booth where he payed before Rukia yanked him into the park.

"Whatever you want, I've done everything here at least ten times", Ichigo said in a bored tone but Rukia ignored it and continued dragging him until they got to one of Ichigo's least favorite rides at the park.

"You have got to be kidding me", he nearly pleaded looking at Rukia who was still staring at the stupid ride. "You sure there isn't anywhere else you wanna go", he asked her weakly knowing once she wanted to do something she was going to do it.

"Positive, don't tell me the big bad Kurosaki is afraid of a children's ride", she mocked

"It's not that I just happen to hate the merry-go-round. It's boring you just go around and around in a circle", Ichigo complained. Rukia rolled her eyes and pulled herself and Ichigo onto neighboring horses before the ride took off. Ichigo held on and tried not to feel nauseas despite how many turns the stupid ride did. Rukia on the other hand seemed to be having a blast and was laughing the whole time, although it was probably at Ichigo's expression. When the ride finally stopped Ichigo felt like he could kiss the ground he was walking on simply because it wasn't moving but that wouldn't have made him look very good.

"Wow Ichigo wasn't that fun", Rukia asked him as they filed out of the ride.

"Yeah why don't we go on it again", he asked her sarcastically not that she noticed.

"You're right", she told him dragging him back to the monstrosity. Ichigo groaned as the midget once again made him go on the stupid contraction. Stupid midget.

"That was awesome. Can we come back tomorrow", an excited midget asked eagerly much to Ichigo's dismay.

"NO", Ichigo blanched but after seeing her hurt expression decided to edit his little outburst. "Well I mean there are so many other fun things to do that we shouldn't do anything twice", Ichigo said nervously s he shifted the animals in his arms. Yeah animals, somewhere in between the stupid carousel and the overpriced cotton candy Rukia had made Ichigo win her numerous prizes including a dog, leopard, a stuffed Kakashi(A/N I want one!), and four different size chappies. Ichigo could barely hold everything in his arms as the stupid things kept trying to shift to smash face with the ground. Rukia didn't seem to notice as she took another bite out of the cotton candy that was rapidly turning her mouth blue.

"Well then where are we going tomorrow", she asked innocently and Ichigo wondered if he should ask whether or not this was another date.

"I don't know I'll think of something, I always do", he said smugly making her laugh until the bus pulled up. The bus driver gave a quick nod to the pair apparently recognizing them from earlier and the two quickly took the seats near the back and prepared for the ride home.

"I had fun Ichigo", Rukia murmured quietly and Ichigo looked over to see her eyes fluttering shut. She leaned over a bit and quickly fell asleep using Ichigo's shoulder as a pillow much to his embarrassment. He looked over and didn't have the heart to wake her up so he just let her lay there while he stared out the window.

Ichigo quickly jerked out of his seat when the bus stopped at the corner near his house and he saw Rukia grumble a bit before leaning back and going back to dreamland. Ichigo sighed before lifting her up and carrying her bridal style off the bus much to the delight of the elder passengers. The bus driver gave him a knowing smirk before driving away leaving Ichigo to walk the rest of the way with Rukia fast asleep. He had to admit she looked kind of cute when she was asleep. She wasn't yelling, injuring, or nagging him which made her look much more appealing. Ichigo chuckled a little before kicking the door open and carrying her up the stairs to Yuzu's room. He placed her gently on the bed and slid her shoes off before putting her under the covers.

"Good night Rukia", he whispered turning away before hearing a soft Ichigo come from Rukia making him flush a little before stepping into his bedroom. He had to admit this was definitely one of the more pleasant days they'd spent together even if he had to go on the only ride he was scared of.

End of Day Seven

Ok that's it sorry if it wasn't enough fluff I just don't want to move things too quickly. I already have an idea for their next date so I should update next Wednesday or the Wednesday after (this will be the only day I publish this story from now on). I'm also busy with Return (kakasaku I love Kakashi) and Itachi Taichou (Itasaku, Sakura just seems to go with everyone). Check out my other stories and oneshots and review.
