A/N: Brutal, and lovely.


Kick in the Head
Rukia + Ichigo


She always managed to kick him in the head.

Literally.

It almost meant "I love you" sometimes. When he does these stupid things, when he spaces out in front of the enemy, when he says something utterly idiotic.

And figuratively.

"That's the man you have been in my heart, Ichigo!"

That brings him back to senses. And she does it just everytime, when he's in doubt, when he's down, when he's wallowing in self-pity. A smile of reassurance or support can kick him in the head dragging him back to reality. Simple, strongly delivered words - her voice - keeps him in tact.

Rukia kept kicking him in the head as if it was THAT essential.

Well, it IS essential and-

Love was so brutal.

But he likes it that way, he guessed.
