The Trouble with Love-games
Eventually you are going to lose…
Okay guys don't hate on me too much for the lateness of this chapter, I was busy seeing people before going back to uni, and now I am back, but my new house doesn't have internet yet. So I actually wrote this days ago. But can't post it! Oh no!
I struggled with this, like seriously, I've never had this much trouble writing a chapter before! So I hope it is okay!
Mooching since 2011
…
'Say something!' a voice screamed in Ichigo's head.
But, he did not know what to say. Afterall, what do you say to a girl who you hurt so bad you think you've lost her forever?
The two stood, staring at one another, silently, lost in each others gaze.
Everybody else was staring too, not that either of them noticed, because for them, it seemed like the gaze they shared right now was the only thing that existed.
Perhaps a minute passed, when Rukia appeared to regain her ability to speak.
"Are you just going to stand there staring like a moron or are you gona kiss me?"
Ichigo looked completely dumbfounded.
'She wants me to kiss her? Is she… could she possibly have… forgiven me?'
"I won't catch midget disease if I do will I?"
"Stupid strawberry"
And they threw their arms around one another, and kissed passionately, arms winding around one another, like they never ever wanted to let go.
Rangiku and Momo started squealing and doing some odd drunken victory dance, as Shunsui and Jyushiro, who had spotted the situation, largely thanks to Ichigo's fluorescent hair, exchanged a high five, beaming. Shuuhei was drunkenly clapping Ichigo on the back congratulating him, which brought the couple back to reality, noticing the audience they had obtained.
"Come on idiot, lets ditch these clowns for a bit" Rukia said, dragging Ichigo away by the wrist, who nearly fell over since he was not expecting this amount of force.
"Bossy as ever I see"
They made it into the garden type area at the back behind the bar. It was a smallish outdoor space, with a large pagoda acting as a roof. Underneath there were many Sakura plants, and various garden chairs and sofas for patrons to sit on. Ichigo and Rukia took a large wicker sofa with cream cushions.
They sat in the middle together and she turned to face him.
"You aren't just saying this cos you're drunk are you?" asked Ichigo tentatively.
"Idiot!" she said hitting him "My feelings haven't changed toward you just cos you pissed me off, I just needed time to be mad at you."
"So you aren't mad anymore?"
"I'll stop being mad on one condition strawberry"
"What's that?" He said, stroking her hair.
"No more bets!" she said, laughing.
"What if I want to bet you that I missed you more than you can imagine?"
"I suppose I can allow that. I missed you too" and she snuggled into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her.
'It feels good to be back' she mused, as she closed her eyes to rest them.
Ichigo sat there, hardly believing he had his midget back in his arms.
'I am never letting go again.'
Just then, Shunsui and Jyushiro had come outside, partially to be nosey, and partially to check Rukia hadn't lured Ichigo out to beat him up in a drunken rage. Fortunately, they sight they found suggested quite the opposite.
"Awwww" said Jyushiro
"I know, are we genius or what."
"Well we technically didn't know they would be here…"
"No, but I totally plan on taking credit"
Ukitake sighed at his friend's ever-growing ego.
"Come on, let's give them some privacy you big pervert"
"I am NOT a pervert!"
"Tell it to Nanao"
"I do, but my beautiful Nanao never believes me" He said, with a dramatically put on hurt expression.
"I wonder why…" He said rolling his eyes, and the two went inside, beginning a whole new argument.
Meanwhile, back inside, another shock get together was occurring. Well, not really shock, as everyone cheered while Hanataro and Isane on. The two had clearly fancied each other for ages. Apparently alcohol was what was needed to give them the push of confidence they needed.
No one had really noticed Orihime and Ulquiorra still sat in a corner.
"Why do you look so sad again?" The boy asked, as she had broken into silence again, staring at her feet. "When that orange haired idiot kissed that small girl you started looking at your feet, and now I saw you look at Grimm and Nel over there and you're doing it again? Do you not like couples?"
"Well, no, not really" she said quietly, still looking down. He waited patiently for her to continue. "They always just remind me of what I don't have."
"I hate them too. Something about how they are always stupidly happy or upset. Relationships make people into fools. If they aren't already idiots"
"Is that what you think?" she asked looking up at the vampire-esque boy.
"Yeah" He said, indifferently.
"Then you obviously haven't experienced feelings for someone before… Feelings are wonderful, especially if they are returned. I am jealous of anyone who has one."
"No, I suppose you are right." 'I'm not sure I would even recognise feelings if I had them' He mused, the small sad smile he often wore in this strange girl's presence adorning his features once more.
"You will be fine, Ulquiorra, and so will I, we will both find someone, you will see." She had regained her usual smiley demeanour. "I'm gona go dance, are you coming?"
"No, thank you, I would rather go out for a cigarette"
"Okay, see ya Ulqui!"
'Oh god I hope she doesn't keep calling me that! Grimmjow would never let it go!' And he wandered out into the night, alone.
It was now nearing 3am, and most people seemed to have either hit the drunk and tired or drunk and hungry stage (or in Rangiku's case, drunk and horny, leaving Gin to take her home after she suggested they have sex in the middle of the dancefloor and started taking off her clothes, which, considering she wasn't wearing much, he had to act fast). Renji and Tia both appeared to have left, again. "You know I'm beginning to think those two will be one of those couples that can't bear to spend the night apart" Said Hisagi on the way to Subway.
"Do you think we should warn them?" Asked Kira, who was being supported by Kisuke, since he was too drunk to walk by himself.
"No way! Called Yoruichi, who was skipping along ahead of the rest of the group. Usually she would have been tailed by Soi Fon, however on this particular night, Soi Fon had been put in a cab home after getting so wasted she stood on the bar, announced her undying love for Yoruichi, and then proceeded to fall off the bar. Luckily Ikkaku happened to be passing by and managed to catch her.
"Speaking of," Began Yumichika "What happened to Ichigo and Rukia, he ALWAYS eats a disgusting amount after nights out, it is so not beautiful…"
"He decided to take Rukia home in a cab, she fell asleep on him outside" Remarked Toshiro, as they wandered into the sandwich store, holding the door open for Momo before taking her hand.

Okay lame place to end, but as I said I am so not happy with this chapter, even though I wrote it and re-wrote it, so now I have internet again (yay) I will try and write a new chapter tonight to make up for the delay / crapiness. I know it's really short, but I feel like a fresh chapter will help me make it better for you! Sorry guys.
