Hey!!!! Its me again!!!! I have some very important news!!!! I'm moving this month!!!! so like it might take me a while for the next update.... but i will try my best!!!! Anyways this chapter is kinda a filler and last moment... i was listening to some new music [to me] this week so i was bored and i wanted to incorperate music into the story!!! Also I've been writing another Ichiruki story!!!!! though when writing that one it seems like its taking forever to get somewhere in the story lol btw... the two songs mentioned below have pretty awesome AMVs!!!! checkem out! well... on with the story...

It was after school and Ichigo and Rukia were headed back to the Kurosaki resident. The two remained silent as they walked. The air smelled that of Vanilla and the sun was just setting. Rukia looked up at the sky and smiled. It reminded her of her favorite Owl City song, Vanilla Twilight.

Rukia took in a deep breath inhaling the Vanilla scent smiling to herself she wanted to start up a conversation. "Ichigo, have you ever heard of Owl City?"

Ichigo gave her a strange look as he tried to recall how he knew of them. "I've heard of them, they sing that on song. It was about Caterpillars or something?"

Rukia rolled her eyes, this was typical for most ignorant males such as him, "Its Fireflies, did you know they sing my favorite song!"

Ichigo looked forward with an unchanging expression, "yea."

Rukia had a disappointed look on her face, "Don't you wanna know what it is?"

Ichigo, still looking forward, replied, "I didn't think I had to ask, I assumed you were just gonna, you know, tell me."

Rukia smiled, "Vanilla Twilight, tonight just reminded me of the song. Not only is it twilight right now with a vanilla colored sky, but there is also the scent of vanilla in the air."

Ichigo turned his head to Rukia, "Wanna know my favorite song?"

Rukia beamed; finally Ichigo was getting into the conversation. "Yea! What is it?!"

Ichigo closed his eyes as though he was recalling a wonderful memory, "Awake by Secondhand Serenade."

Rukia perked up at the name of the artist, "Secondhand Serenade! They sing the song Fall for You!" She smirked, "I never thought you would like a song by them."

Ichigo rubbed the back of his head, "Well it reminds me of my mom, I guess. The lyrics kinda met something to me."

Rukia felt her heart warm up, who would have thought Ichigo's favorite song reminded him of his mom! 'He sure is a nice guy once you get to know him, I guess.' She opened her mouth to speak when he stopped; she couldn't help but blush at the memorizing site. The warm sky's color highlighted Ichigo's already orange hair. And the kind expression he wore would be enough to make any girl fall in love. He looked so handsome.

Rukia covered her face in attempt to hide her expression, 'What the hell am I thinking!?!?!? This is Ichigo the stupid strawberry I'm talkin' about! Why am I suddenly thinking things such as him as handsome?! If anything he looks like an orange sucker!'

Ichigo glanced to Rukia, who was spaced out with her hand over her mouth as though she was holding back a gasp. "Rukia?" She didn't respond. "Earth to midget." Still no response. "Rukia are you okay? Rukia? Rukia! RUKIA!!!!" Rukia snapped out of her trance and looked at Ichigo, "What strawberry?"

Ichigo smirked, he decided to let the nickname go since he called her midget to her face and she didn't hit him. "We're here."

Rukia glimpsed over her shoulder to see the Kurosaki home and Clinic behind her. "Beat you to your room!" And just like that Rukia was gone.

It took a second for Ichigo to register what she just said, "What? No you don't midget!!!!" Ichigo ran after her only to receive a Kick to the face.

Isshin stood over him wearing a stupid grim on his face, "Welcome home son! You let your guard down!" Ichigo picked himself up, smoothed out the wrinkles in his shirt* and punched his father, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!?!?! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE!!!!!!"

Ichigo stormed away leaving Isshin sprouting childish tears, "MASAKIIIIII!!!!!! Where did I go wrong?!?!"

Ichigo reached his room only to see Rukia laying on his bed with, to his surprise, an horror manga. "So that's what you were carrying that weighed so much."

Rukia smirked, "Yea," she stuck out her tongue, "you lost strawberry!"

Ichigo set his bag on the chair of his desk and sat on the bed, next to Rukia. "Yea, that was only because my father was in the way." He grinned, "I wanna rematch, that way I can kick your ass."

Rukia jokingly punched him the arm, "In your dreams!!!"

The two laughed and began a conversation discussing random topics such as; manga, music, friends, and even their personal views on the latest news headlines. Both wished time would stop, just so they could keep talking. Just a little bit longer.
