I always read reviews and do take note if you have something to tell me so thanks :).

I try and update maybe every two days, I like writing in school so I have a rough draft ready to be typed up and ready. ;P

Anyways onto the story

First I don't own Bleach, Rukia or Ichigo or any bleach character, Tite Kubo does.

I own Kasumi my own Character. Also if you wish to see what she looks like its on my deviant art page which the link is located on my profile.

Please NOTE:

Italic Writing means its the Past. Pretty important

Lingering in the Past

Lunch was still in session for another 30 minutes. The kids all use there lunch time to hang out with there friends and of course eat lunch. At the Cafeteria the lunch line was huge and it was growing bigger and bigger. But since Rukia dragged Kasumi out of the classroom so fast they were able to get there lunch pretty early. They exited out of the lunch room to go to there usual hang out place just the two of them go to. Its a quiet place with a few trees surrounding the area and since it was on top of a little hill they had full view of the school yard. It was one of the peaceful lunch areas both of them could go to. As they arrived the trees were a Golden color with redness hidden somewhere in the trees. The leaves were falling one by one as the winds pushed the branches around.

Kasumi sat down under one of the bigger trees that was there. She gently put her tray down to examine her food and decided what to eat first. On it was a small bowl of chicken soup and some rice with a juice pouch. She quickly grabbed for the juice pouch and proceeded to drink it. As for Rukia, she chose to sit in the tree that was over Kasumi. Rukia was different and loved to be in high places. Although for Kasumi she has a phobia of high places. Rukia just looked at her food for a while and started to stare into space. After a while she wondered off into her thoughts.

"Ichiberry!" a petite figure came running down the street up to Ichigo who was about to cross the street to head home after a long day of school. She was waving a hand over her head to make herself more noticeable, but Ichigo already knew who it was because of the horrific name he was called and the gorgeous violet eyes that seemed to sparkle in the sun, that were coming closer and closer by the second.

"Yo Midget, and stop calling me Ichiberry you know I hate that name" he hissed a little

"Tawake I am not a midget!" she said as she kicked Ichigo right in the knee not to hard but hard enough to make him notice she wasn't kidding.

Just because Kuchiki Rukia was 14 years old standing only 4'6 doesn't mean she could bring down a 5'4 Kurosaki Ichigo.

"What the hell!" he said as he was grasping his knee that was in pain

"When will you learn to stop calling me that name"

"Until you stop calling me Ichiberry"

"Whatever Ichiberry"

"Why you!"

for a while thrown remarks went between the two and the heated "talking" started to attract unwanted attention. But after a few minutes the two calmed down and Rukia got right to the point.

"Ichiberry I need you to look at something and tell me what you think" she said as she reached in her backpack to reveal a large sketchpad with the name "Rukia's Art" on it. She handed the pad over to Ichigo. Inside was the first art project for her freshman year. The art project was about socialization. Of course she did her usual chappy theme.

"Sure as long as your drawings aren't as suck ish as usual" he said as he started to open the sketch pad.

"Baka" Rukia said under her breath

Inside was a four panel comic Rukia made. Since the theme was Socialization she decided to use two characters. There were two bunnies. One was named Ichi and the other bunny was named Ruki. Now the first panel was a drawing of Ruki and Ichi Playing tag. Ruki was it and was chasing Ichi. The second panel was Ruki getting a piggy back ride from Ichi. The third panel was Ichi and Ruki sleeping under a big oak tree and the last panel had Ruki giving Ichi a kiss on the cheek. All four drawings made by yours truly Kuchiki Rukia and she was damn proud of it.

"Good huh" Rukia said in a proud Kuchiki tone

"I spent a few days thinking of it and then drawing it out, I know for sure I will get an A"

Ichigo contniue to examine the little comic and mumbled to himself sometimes, but so quiet Rukia couldn't understand him.

"Little Midget" Ichigo said as he continued to look at the sketch pad

"WHAT I am not a little midge-" before she could continue her violet phase towards the orange haired teen, Ichigo Slammed down softly on her lips. Rukia was shocked a little but once the passionate kiss took over both of them she couldn't think about anything else. He then retreated away to give her back the sketch pad.

"Rukia" Ichigo said as he turned around facing around the opposite direction. Rukia listen closely as when he usually calls her by her real name its pretty important.

"Your drawings still suck"

Rukia had a "What the hell" face on

"BAKA" Rukia screamed as she was about o hit Ichigo for the second time

"But my girlfriend doesn't suck" he said as he turned his face to Rukia with a big smile on his face. Rukia stopped dead in her tracks and gave him a smile back and laughed a little.

"Ichigo" She said as she continued to smile

"Huh"

She then hit Ichigo hard on the shoulders

"OI!" he said a he winced in pain

"I love you to" she said as she kissed him on the cheek. She then cheerfully ran in front of him then turning around with a huge smile on her face that only Ichigo could make her do. She then gestured him to follow her to where ever she was taking him and Ichigo followed.

Eye's closed Rukia was breathing lightly as she was leaning against the trunk of the tree while sitting on the branch she climbed up to. After eating her chicken soup and rice, she noticed that Rukia had been silent for a while. So she decided to see whats up. She got up and look up to were she was. She couldn't get a good view of Rukia as she was hidden behind a few branches. She didn't want to go up there so she yelled out her name.

"RUKIA! you okay?" She said waiting for an answer. She didn't get a response back. She decided to get some rocks and sticks and maybe try and throw some at her to wake her up. So she grabbed a few rocks and sticks that happened to be close by and started to throw them up. Sadly she should of remember that her throwing really sucked and could only through about 10 was getting impatient and decided Screw it. She grabbed the closes branch and started to climb. She climbed until she reached her dozed of friend with her lunch try still on her lap. Kasumi told herself not to look down, but she did which made her even more nervous. They were about 15 FT off the ground. But she though it was like 50ft. She grabbed on to a branch tightly and proceeded to wake up her knocked out friend.

"Rukia..Oi Rukia" She said as she shook her groggy friend.

Rukia still in a daze she was welcomed back in the real world with two Blue eyes looking at her with confusion.

"Guess you fell asleep, I don't blame you, first day of school always gets me tired to, but that's where food comes in" Kasumi said laughing a little

"Um Rukia can we get down please" Kasumi said as she looked down once again.

"Ahaha sure"

They both climbed down to the safe ground, even though they were about 15ft high, Kasumi has an easy way of imagining things much higher. When they got to the ground they started to head off to the cafeteria to drop off there trays and head back to class.

Currently on the roof of the high school were the boys. Ichigo, Ishida, Sado, Keigo and Mizurio were all sitting down eating lunch.

"How is this fair, WHERE ARE ALL THE GIRLS I we all going to die alone!" Keigo said as he started to run around in circles like a crazy loon. Mizurio was trying to calm Keigo, but Keigo was to caught up in his thoughts. Sado just watched from afar and Ishida was next to Ichigo. Ishida turned to Ichigo's direction and notice Ichigo wasn't paying attention. He was staring at the concert lost. He was missing something very important.

It was early spring and spring break was in session for all the kids. The weather was perfect for outdoor activities. Everyone seemed to enjoy the pleasant weather they were given and people were taking advantage of this time. People went fishing or to the beach, some spent time working out, what ever the case people seemed to be more active as ever. Even the town gym seemed to be over crowded with people. But for the two instructors it was no big deal. With the day off from school the pair decided to make a some money for themselves to go out for dinner, although they could easily get money from there gaurdians they decided it would be better to have the enjoyment of being paid. Since there were more people then usual the two split the people into two groups they got to decide who they wanted as there instructor, and luckily it was a good even match on each side.

"Okay my group were going to the left side please follow me" Ichigo said as he was wearing black gym pants, a white T-shirt and sneakers.

"And my group to the right" Rukia said as she was wearing gym shorts and a white tank top while around her neck was a blue head band.

The groups followed there instructors the first thing they had to do was some stretches before moving onto the weights. After they all did the stretches everyone went to a station they chose. If they needed help they were able to call either Ichigo or Rukia. Seemed like Ichigo attracted the girls as he was called upon by a brown hair girl.

"Um so how do you to this" she said childish voice

"What you do his you sit down facing the weights. Then you grab on to the two bars and you pull up, this will help with your arm muscles" Ichigo said as he demonstration for the "confused" girl.

"Oh wow your so strong" she said with a giggle

"Hey can you teach how to become strong" another girl came up to him as he was getting up from the weight machine

"I would love to be taut by you" said a blonde girl approaching him

He was starting to get swarmed with girls asking for help. Rukia was watching from afar, with a pissed look on her face. Being his girlfriend, Rukia has to face with so many girls trying to get Ichigo. Also she is not the jealous type, she couldn't stand it. But she tired to ignore it because it was all going to be worth it later. She put on a strong face and proceeded to help her group members.

Ichigo could see Rukia watching as he was crowded with girls. He knew what was on her mind, but he had something in mind that would make Rukia happy. But first he had to deal with all the girls. Giving all the girls "help" on what they asked, Ichigo finally got all the girls off his back, but that didn't stop the girls from staring at his amazing body.

He put his plan into action and walked over to Rukia who was helping a young girl.

"Oi, Rukia care to help me with something" He said as he tapped her shoulder

"What?" she turned

Ichigo grabbed both of her shoulders for a second making sure the girls could see, then kissed Rukia on her soft pink lips. Rukia knew what Ichigo was doing and she was suprised Ichigo did such a thing, but she couldn't be happier. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Kissed him back. Of course it wasn't a long kiss, but Ichigo got to message clear to any girl who wanted to flirt with him. Rukia was the only one for him and he just proved it pretty good. The girls were in shock, some were jealous and wished it was them being kissed by Ichigo, but they could only dream of such a think.

"Ichigo, I didn't know you did such things" Rukia said as she smiled at him

"Pfff well I didn't know you were the jealous type" he said with a cocky smile

"You try having to watch your boyfriend get surrounded by girls" as she rolled her eyes

"First, I don't have a boyfriend, because I have an amazing girlfriend and second that would never happen because I would beat the crap out of the guys would would try and flirt with you" he said as he punched his own hand with his fist. Both laughing they both had to continue there jobs to get that money. In the end they made enough to go out for dinner. It turned out to be one of the greatest days for both of them.

Still in his own world Ichigo didn't notice Keigo asking him a question while he was flailing his arms to snap Ichigo back into the real world.

"ICHIGO! are you going to answer the question" Keigo kept saying to an oh so out of it Ichigo.

"Oh Keigo, sorry what did you ask" Ichigo said as he rubbed his eyes

"I said are you coming to the annual new years party because last year you didn't" Keigo said

"Oh, I don't know, that's not really on my mind, but I will think about it" Ichigo said as he got up from his current seat he was sitting at and headed back to the class.

"Where are going Ichigo?" Mizurio asked

"Class, the bells about to ring, lets go" he said as he waved them on

"Oh your right I didn't even realize what time it was" Keigo said as he looked at his cellphone

"Its time for gym so lets go!" the excited Keigo yelled as he ran in front of Ichigo

The group walked headed back to class, but not without someone recognizing Ichigo's behavior. Ishida knew something was on his mind and he had a pretty good Idea, but more specifically who it was, he just didn't want to jump to conclusions so early.

"Ishida, you noticed to" Sado came up behind Ishida and said quietly so only Ishida could hear him

"Sado..Mhm, but we can't assume it" he said to his big friend

"Mm" Sado said

It was only the first day of school and the day was just getting started.
