-1A/N: Okay guys I know that you might not have been dying for more of this but I'm honestly beginning to think my fanfic sucks but what ever I'll keep writing it because I feel like it….and I don't care what you think!!!! But the one review I did see thanks…it was appreciated. NOW… On with the show…
Ichigo sat in his apartment listening to his friend drabble on about what he had learned of Rukia. Having access to all public records and a few private investigators, Ichigo soon learned what he wanted to know.
"Man she's completely clean," Urahara said continuing on, "Never committed a crime in her life, she is the sister of multi-billionare Byakuya Kuchiki and from what I heard she has a kid." Ichigo spit out his drink and nearly choked on it as well.
"What do you mean she has a kid?!" he asked more shocked than anything that she didn't tell him, "She never mentioned a kid all last week when we ate dinner together. And we ate dinner together every night last week!" Thoughts of the past dinners with Rukia flashed up.
"Can I ask you something Rukia?" Ichigo asked while she was cooking there dinner which looked like Japanese food and Ichigo was grateful, it was his favorite.
"As long as you don't drabble on or give me moronism." she replied holding back a smirk.
"So, yeah, how did you get here, to this school I mean? I've heard you sing and you've told me you're a performing arts major but how did you end up here of all places?" he asked wanting to know. He didn't know she had been accepted to most of the performing art schools on the continent.
"It was the only way my brother would pay for my school." she replied with a tone of resentment in her voice, "I was kinda the wild child when I was growing up. I never knew my parents, they both died when I was a baby. Killed in a car crash coming home from my sister's school concert. Hisana was killed with them. My brother is scared that I'll fail or get killed like them, so I rebelled when I was accepted into these schools, had a one night stand when I was sixteen and ended up with a kid. It was only after I found out I was pregnant did he tell me he was married." Rukia started to tear up.
"Oh," was all Ichigo could say he was already kinda drunk from the sake she had bought to go with the meal and probably wouldn't remember it the next day. Ichigo turned his thoughts away from that night and back to what Urahara was saying.
"Her brother has her kid a good bit of the time. He made it look like she was engaged and lost her fiancé in some horrible accident in America." he kept on saying. Ichigo heard Rukia's voice but it wasn't to her band. Ichigo looked at the clock, it was almost seven.
"Man I hate to tell you this but its time to go, I have some other things to attend to." Ichigo said and Urahara got the drift and began walking towards the door. He decided to let himself out as Ichigo walked towards the door that connected his apartment to Rukia's. He knocked on the door as if instinct and she immediately opened it.
"Ichigo I don't think tonight is a good night for you to come over." Rukia tried to say when the both of them heard a child crying.
"What is that noise Rukia?" Ichigo asked even though he knew the answer.
"I didn't want to tell you but I have a kid, okay. So if this relationship was going anywhere its not now is it?" she said running to get her child giving Ichigo the chance to walk in. She came into the living room holding a beautiful little girl. "Her name is Elizabeth, she's two. My brother had some business meeting to go to and so I get my baby back for a week. If you don't want anything to do with me now, I'll understand." she said tears welling up in her eyes.
"Now why would you think something like that. I love kids!" he said moving towards Elizabeth picking her up and blowing raspberries on her stomach. "She's adorable Rukia. Looks just like you." he said sitting down on the floor with her. All Rukia heard from her daughter was laughs as Ichigo got up to put her in the bed. "You might want to try to lay her down with a sippy cup so she won't cry." Ichigo said, "I helped raise my sisters when my mom died. They were both real young too." he shrugged as he laid down the toddler in her bed and closed the door. "So, Rukia do you still want to go out with me?" he asked as they sat down on the couch.
"I'll have to think about it Kurosaki, you might not be good for me with your rockstar thing." she replied pointing to a music video of his band on the tv. The two turned on a Pirates of the Caribbean movie and watched it until they both fell asleep in each others arms.
Rukia woke up to her phone ringing. She looked at the clock it was six o'clock. 'Who the hell wants me up this early?!' she thought as she looked at the phone.
"Nisama, what are you calling for so early?" she asked walking out of the living room as to not wake up Ichigo.
"Rukia, is he in your apartment?" Byakuya asked pretty sure what the answer would be, "You know how I feel about you have men over with Elizabeth there." Rukia didn't know what to say, her brother was now pretty much stalking her and determining who would come in her apartment with her daughter there. Ichigo woke up and walked over to Rukia and mouthed, "I have to go."
"Nisama I have to go." she said hanging up the phone and turning to Ichigo, "Why do you have to leave? Its still really early." Ichigo hugged her thinking of what to say, he just didn't want to tell her he didn't feel comfortable with her arguing with her brother with him there.
"I have some things I have to get done, I have a show tonight. You guys can come if you want." he said handing her two tickets and back stage passes.
"Thanks, I just wish you could stay." she said hugging on to Ichigo. He kissed her on the forehead and walked out the door.
