Hey people! *dodges flying tomatoes and rotten vegetables* Okay, maybe I deserved that. I'M SO SORRY FOR UPDATING THIS LATE! And with such a measly scrap of a chappie as well. However, I do have a number of excuses, no matter how pitiful they may be. First of all, I was updating one of my other stories (Vacation BLEACH STYLE) and it has insanely long chapters. Secondly, I have recently become addicted to HitsuHina AUs, all thanks to PhoenixSong4232, who's amazing fic "Frozen Secret" is literally the BEST ON THE PLANET. Read it. And finally, my mother banned me from the computer because fanfiction was consuming my life. So, I had to type this up on my IPod Touch (which is extremely hard to do) and secretly send it to myself. So again, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE UPDATE.

Fanfics inside this fic are in bold. Also, in ichirukilvr21's (who does not exist in real life) fic it isn't the whole fic, just parts, hence the …

Disclaimer: Bleach. I don't own it. *cries*

Warnings: Fillerness and slight OOCness.

Ichigo clicked on the Anime/Manga category, and then on the Bleach section. A screen with fanfics on it filled his view. (1) Rukia peered at the monitor with interest.

"IchiRuki: After the War," she recited, "IchiRuki…what's that?"

Ichigo shrugged, just as puzzled as she was.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a combination of our names," he presumed slowly, "But that's impossible."

"I don't know about that," said Rukia uneasily, pointing to the words in gray underneath the description, "Look at what this says. Characters: Ichigo K. and Rukia K."

Severely shaken, Ichigo continued reading the information out loud.

"Rating: T. Language: English. Genres: Angst and Romance?"

Rukia dry swallowed.

"Read it," she instructed, her curiosity getting the better of her. Ichigo obediently clicked on the link. A page filled with writing appeared on the screen, and the two shinigami anxiously began to read.

Hey guys! It's me, and I'm back with yet another IchiRuki. As you can tell I'm slightly obsessed with this pairing. *squeals* They remind me so much of two of my students! ;3 *sigh* Highschoolers are so cute.

Disclaimer: ichirukilvr21 DOES NOT own Bleach.

Warnings: Extreme angst.

Ichigo lay on his bed, staring at the picture of Rukia. It was the only thing he kept that reminded him of his life as a shinigami, prior to the final battle with Aizen. He wasn't sure why…

…An assignment to Karakura Town? Rukia looked up…

... "Hey, Rukia," Renji called, "You should go. Then you can stalk Ichigo. You have been obsessing over him lately." Then he realized that she had already volunteered and was glaring at him…

…Rukia floated down into the street, then shunpoed into Ichigo's window. About to speak to him, she decided against it and stopped to watch him. To her embarrassment, he began taking his shirt off…

Ichigo and Rukia stared at the display in shock, dumbfounded. Unable to help themselves, their eyes were glued to the page, and their hearts accelerated with each word.

Upon finishing the chapter and catching his breath, Ichigo found his voice and sputtered, "Wow. That is-wow. Just…WOW. This is insane."

Rukia, also nearly speechless, stammered, "They know everything about us. How could this have happened? They know where we live, everything that's happened to us, about Aizen, our families, even our feelings…I mean!"

Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink.

"I-I mean, they completely made the romance part up," she said shakily, mortified at her slip up.

Ichigo, who had been having the same thoughts as well, hastily changed the subject.

"Don't we have to tell Soul Society about this?" he questioned, "Y'know, just in case it's a security risk."

Rukia nodded, thankful for the new topic.

"I can get Urahara to open a Senkaimon tomorrow," she decided, "Then we'll get someone important to come with us and examine this further…preferably not nii-sama."

"Actually, I was thinking Toshiro," Ichigo admitted, revealing that he did indeed have a brain after all.

"Sound's good to me."

That matter settled, Ichigo and Rukia went to bed, although neither slept. Instead, they stayed awake, minds swirling. It was certainly going to be an interesting day tomorrow.

So, can anybody guess who ichirukilvr21 is? It will be revealed later…

I forgot to say this at the beginning, but thank you to all the reviewers! Your reviews were very helpful and had some great ideas. Also, to novicestar if it's all right with you then I would really like to use at least one of your fanfics. I read 'em and they're great! XD So review and tell me if that would be okay.

REVIEW PLEASE! IF YOU DO THEN ICHIGO WILL PAY YOU!

Ichigo: Say what?

Me: THAT'S RIGHT! OUR VERY OWN ICHIGO KUROSAKI HAS GENEROUSLY OFFERED TO BRIBE REVIEWERS!

Ichigo: What? I never…*sigh* I give up.

Me: XD
