Ahh, it's shorter than what I would usually write, but there is majot Ichiruki fluff in this chapter! Hope that makes up for it.

Well here it is!

Read and review!

Shit! Shit! Shit!

Ichigo internally thought when he tore his room apart for his cellphone. He truly royally f-ed himself. He forgot about his one week anniversary with Orihime is tomorrow and he has no time to shop-not when he's suppose to work on his project with Rukia.

Well, shit.

What's he going to tell Rukia?

What the hell Kurosaki!?

Was angrily scribbled on a Chappy stationary before she crumpled it up and threw it angrily at his head. Eyes started to stare at both Ichigo and Rukia for two particular reasons.

1. Ichigo was not yelling at the tiny exchange student.

2. The short temper of the tiny exchange student.

Not paying attention to the eyes watching him, Ichigo quickly scribbles on the crinkled chappy stationary.

I forgot! She's upset with me and refuses to go school today because she doesn't want to see me.

Violet eyes widen with disbelief once Rukia read what Ichigo wrote back. He's willing to risk his-their grade because Ichigo's girlfriend is throwing a fit? Rukia is beyond annoyed.

Are you freaking seri-

Now, the violet eyed girl stopped writing as she slowly placed her chappy pen down and lets out a deep breath because a student from an all girl Karakura prep don't panic recklessly. No. They don't.

Students of all girl Karakura prep always have to present themselves properly. If not? A mark will be put against them and that's the thing Rukia doesn't want.

"Kurosaki..." Rukia quietly whispers as she keeps her mind busy by drawing tiny pictures of Chappy on the back of her notebook. Man was she pissed.

"If you went shopping for her gift today, how are we going to finish the project?"

Ichigo awkwardly chuckled once he turned around, facing Rukia-he could tell Rukia was pissed just from her biting her puffy lower lip.

"See, about that..." It was now Ichigo's turn to keep his mind busy to avoid the yelling he is about to receive, "I want you to go with me and help me find a present for her-"

Nearly flipping out at Ichigo, Rukia balls her fists, smiling because that's all she can do at the moment... So. Rukia, being the exquisite student she is, takes in a deep breath before she lets out a nigh huff, she she opens her violet eyes smiling.

"Kurosaki san." Rukia sweetly addressed, "How are we going to finish our project if we spent it at a mall? Have you thought about that through that thick skull of yours?"

Passive aggressive was the route Rukia chose to go-Ichigo noted that.

"Yes." Ichigo boldly responded catching Rukia off guard. "I thought this through. I go shopping with you and I'll miss school tomorrow and you'll tell Sensei I couldn't make it because I got sick. Maybe she'll give us some more time."

Rukia looks at Ichigo dumbfounded. He actually thought this through. But, Rukia isn't going to cover for Ichigo-Hell, she's a fantastic actor when time calls for it.

"Fine."

The last word Rukia spoke to him through out the school day. She didn't speak, or even look at him or dignify his insults- obviously, trying to get a reaction from her-

No Dice.

Rukia remained solid. Refusing to acknowledge him-that us until she goes shopping with him. That's when she'll make him suff-

"RUKIAAAAA!" A voice cheerfully cooed outside the classroom door which only meant one thing.

It was lunch aaaaannnnnnnnddddd Rukia forgot to pack her lunch.

Great. Rukia internally thought, First Kurosaki, now lun-

"Hurry up! Hurry up! I have exciting news for you!"

Releasing a defeated huff, Rukia heavily slides her chair and sends a glare at the Orange haired hoy who seemingly doesn't noticed since a flock of girls are all clustering around him- Rukia wonders if all girls are like this when his girlfriend isn't there hounding down on him...

"Ru-"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Rukia disguntly heaves once she gets out of her chair, rolling her eyes at Ichigo who chuckles uneasily, trying to remain neutral with the girls crowded around him.

"RU-MAWPH!" Tiny hands covers Akane's mouth once Rukia pulls her away from the door. "Come on, let's go..."

Happily pushing Rukia's hand off her mouth, Akane gleefully smiles as she turns around, walking backwards while speaking. "This Friday. You know what's happening this Friday?"

A eyebrow arches. "What about Friday?"

Face palming, Akane mumbles against her palm, "Don't tell me you forgot about our track and field team going against this school's track and field team..."

It was now Rukia's turn to facepalm. She wasn't ready for this-hell, Rukia hasn't even been focusing on anything related to track and field- Akane noted that once Rukia started to sadly mumble incoherent words against the palms of her tiny hands. A cheeky grin forms on Akane's face.

"Rukia, Rukia..." Akane sweetly coos, "That Kurosaki boy got you good huh?"

Violet eyes narrowed once Rukia slowly looks up at Akane, "Shut up."

"Okay class!" Misato cheerfully exclaims to the class, "Remember, you have one more day to work on your group project I assigned last week!"

The class now breaks out in chatter the moment Misatp finishes her announcement as the count down for the bell begins and everyone else starts to pack up for the day-Rukia?

Just sits there. She's sitting in her seat-everything packed to go and Ichigo?

A group of girls all flock towards Ichigo, cooing and flattering him as if he was a god of some sort- This pissed of Rukia. Just watching him uneasily chuckle at every flatter, compliment, and praise?

A grin forms on Rukia's face while she watches Ichigo awkwardly turn every girl down as gently as he can while each girl get their dreams of being with the class- "hottie"

After all, he has Orihime, the school idol EVERY guy wants to be with. So, technically, they're the perfect ideal couple.

Right?

Rolling her eyes, Rukia looks at the clock and it's very, VERY close for the school bell to-

"RRRUUUKKIIIIAAAAA!"

Exactly the moment the school bell rang, Akane's Akane's head peers into the room sporting nothing but a toothy smile. "I thought I'd drop by for a quick second before you and I part ways...Have fun with him!"

A face palm was what Akane earned while Ichigo chuckles uneasily at the flock of girls who all wished they were Orihime-Rukia wonders why the girls were never like this when when Orihime is around...

"Oi!" Rukia rudely nudged as she tapped on her Chappy watch. "I don't have all day Kurosaki."

All the girls that once clustered around Ichigo stared at Rukia who just glared at Ichigo for taking so long when he's suppose tio find a gift for his, "Little Hime"

Awkwardly peeling himself away from the cluster of fangirls. Ichigo finally breaks loose from thier clutches as he chuckles uneasily, "Let's go?"

Rolling her eyes, Rukia turns on her heels and walks.

It's going to be a long day.

They now arrived at the mall where there is a big store dedicated to none other than Chappy-even if this mall was father than the other, Rukia insisted on coming to this mall if Ichigo is going to make her shop with him.

"Okay!" Rukia cheerfully smiles as she turned around, facing Ichigo. "Since you dragged me here to help pick a gift for your, "hime." We have to go to the Chappy store first!"

"No!" Ichigo exclaimed. All the countless times he avoided the Chappy store when his younger sisters tried to get him in? Ichigo isn't going to break that streak now...

Is he?

"There is no way in hell am I going in there!" Ichigo quickly added once Rukia glares at him.

"You're the one who wanted me to come to the mall and help you shop for, "lil hime." So the least you can do is come with me to the Chappy store... Or else..." A dark sly smile crept onto Rukia's face that thoroughly confused Ichigo. He has no idea what Rukai means and stupidly, Ichigo shrugs it off. "Or else what midget?"

Midget!? Rukia internally thought as she started to pout. I'll show him!

Wide violet eyes started to slowly water once Rukia's lips started to slowly quiver as Ichigo looked at her wearily. He's not liking this and how Rukia looks as if she's about to-

"Please don't break up with me!" The tiny violet eyed girl sobs as she covers her face with her tiny hands. "I loved you first!" Now Rukia breaks out in hysterics-hell, Rukia broke down on her knees-This caught the attention of onlookers who started to whisper- Ichigo?

Ichigo blushes all shades of red once he drops down to his knees and faces Rukia. "Kuchiki..." Ichigo growled. "Stop with his bull shi-"

"Are you coming with me to the Chappy store?" Rukia sniffled. Waiting for the answer she's been waiting for-but not. Not when Ichigo was born stubborn.

"Hell no!" He whispered back. "Stop crying and"

"Why!" Rukia sobs harder and she grabs Ichigo's firm arm, tugging him. "She doesn't love you like I do!"

A crowd was now formed as they all point at Ichigo, whispering to one another.

"Do you think he cheated on her?"

"Oh my... Such a heartless boyfriend..."

"She's better off without him."

Flushed red with annoyance and embarrassment, once he face palms. There's no going away from this when there's a crowd of people watching them.

Damn Rukia and her conniving ways.

Practically sobbing, Rukia's watery eyes take a quick glance at Ichigo who lets out a defeated huff.

Yes. Rukia internally thought. I win.
