I'm baccckkkk!
xD
okay... So here it is. I think it's a lot of fluff in this chapter even if it is a little one sided Ichihime. (this is an ichiruki fan fic) Anyways, I realized I started in May 2013 and it's now April 2014 and there's less than 30 chapters..
Thanks to those who held on!
And to those who reviewed!
:)
It's bright and sunny out as Rukia races down the stairs and bid her pet Chappy goodbye for the day. Rukia is in an exceptional good mood today-mainly because she spent the night cuddling with her life size Chappy plushie-even if her Chappy smelled a little like Ichigo, buyer's remorse is non-existent.
Beaming out her front door, Rukia sports nothing but a bright toothy smile as she looks at her friend Akane and happily pips, "Lettsssss goooo!"
And off they went, with their arm linked with one another, they happily walked. Though, while they walking, Rukia couldn't help but notice Akane's creepy smile-Rukia decided to question Akane.
"Hey Akane," Rukia quizzically called out , "What's with that creepy smile?"
Akane quietly chuckles as she shakes her head, "I should be asking you why you had that abnormally toothy smile, but I figured that Kurosaki boy made you feel good last night huh?"
"WHAT?!" Rukia exclaimed as she flushes all shades of red. Akane laughs and pats Rukia on her back, sweetly cooing "Tell me, was he the little engine that could or the little engine that couldn't?"
Now, facepalming, Rukia chidlishly mumbles against her tiny palms, "No Akane. NO."
Wide brown eyes widen as a toothy smile forms on Akane's face because when Rukia childishly speaks means one of two things:
1. Rukia saw something Chappy related.
2. Rukia is too bashful to face the truth.
Akane chose the latter.
"NOO!" Akane childishly squeals in delight once she butt bumps Rukia. "YOU SOOO HAVE A CRUSH FOR HIM!"
"I DO NOT!" Rukia childishly defends as she removes her hand from her face and beams up at Akane. "I do not like Ichigo-"
Gasping, Akane frantically flails her hand at Rukia and happily cheers, "You referred to him by his first name~~~"
Deny Akane's foolish claims, Rukia quickly gathers herself like any student from all Girl Karakura prep would and calms herself down. "He is my good friend." Rukia now calmly replied while Akane folds her arms and narrows her eyes at Rukia. "Or," Akane slyly added, "Is he the type of friend that makes you feel good?"
"Shut up Akane."
The sun now beams upon a orange haired boy's face who pulls his covers over his head, smiling. Smiling over the fact that he's going to miss school and spend the day with his, "lil hime" in a few hours.
Ichigo has everything planned- with the advice from the damned Rukia that made everything complicated.
-Flash back-
Happily prancing out of the mall as she carries a plastic bag in one hand and an ice cream cone with the other, Rukia was happy.
Well, why shouldn't she be? She bought a brand new Chappy plushie and she's now eating an ice cream cone- Ichigo?
Ichigo on the other hand... He isn't really too pleased with the ways things turned out. Sure, he got his present for his, "lil hime." But the mere thought of Rukia tricking him into helping her buy her stupid Chappy plushie? This annoyed Ichigo no end. But then again, without Rukia's help he'd be completely helpless without the knowledge Rukia gained from just observing her surroundings. So, in a way, Ichigo should be grateful for Rukia. She was the one that had to put up with his bullshit.
They are now at the bus stop, waiting as the sun starts to slowly dip and the moon barely stars to glow. Rukia finally finishes her ice cream cone and let out a sigh of content. "Today was a good day."
"Maybe for you..." Ichigo mumbled as he leans against the cold bus stop sign while holding onto Rukia's Chappy plushie. Rukia, now, slwoly walsk up next to Ichigo and nudges him. "Do you have anything planned for your, "lil hime?"
Ichigo dead panned.
He has nothing planned for his one week anniversary with Orihime and Rukia noted that that as she shakes her head smiling.
"Kurosaki, kurosaki..." Rukia playfully tsks. "Where would you be without me..."
"At home asking Yuzu what to do.." Ichigo mumbled under his breath as Rukia sharply darts her eyes at him as she dramatically points at him. "Wrong!" Rukia exclaimed, slightly startling Ichigo. "You'd be in a huge argument with your, "lil hime." without me."
Brown eyes widen as Ichigo started to go on the defense. "Hell no! Yuzu probably that Josei manga too so she'd now what I should do-"
"Che." Rukia rolls her eyes mockingly. "Don't compare your little sister to your "lil hime." Your lilttle sister is in grade school and your, "lil lhime" is in high school. There is a age difference if you haven't noticed Kurosaki." Rukia now folds her arms as the sun now disappears and the moon makes it's appearance as it starts to glow upon Karakura. "I bet you don't even know what you're going to do with your lil hime when you go and see her."
Now, running his hand through his signature orange hair, Ichigo lets out a deep huff. "Fine. How am I going to plan out my dad with Orihime?"
Round violet eyes now beam up at Ichigo as she narrows her eyes at him. "You owe me big time."
-Flash Back end-
"Nii chan! Hurry up or you're going to be late for class!"
Now, rubbing his eyes, Ichigo yells back, "Yeah, tell Keigo and Mizuiro I'll meet them at school!"
And with that, a sigh was released as he thought to himself, What am I going to do?
"Okay!" Akane happy cheers once they arrive at Karakura High. "I'll see you at lunch and you'll tell me what really happen, right?Right?" With the slightlest of nudges Rukia gives in because, if Rukia didn't, Akane would never stop badgering her.
"Right, right, right." Rukia quickly urges, minutes before the school bell rings, "Hurry up to your class before you're late."
"Alrighty then!" Akane happily squeals as she swiftly slaps Rukia's ass, "I'll see during lunch"
And with a swift slap to the ass, Akane victoriously prances away, laughing as Rukia's slightly rubs her butt sighing. "I'll never live this down..."
-Flash back-
"The bus is coming the bus is coming!" Rukia happily cheered as she nudges Ichigo, "Hurry up and get your bus pass out!"
Fidgeting around, Ichigo manages to get his wallet out while still holding onto Rukia's Chappy plushie and glares at Rukia excitingly bounces her knees but he can't help but notice that cute rounch peach ass of her's bouncing up and down with her. Man, if only Ichigo can just- Whoa-whoa-whoa. IMPURE THOUGHTS! IMPURE THOUGHTS!
Quickly looking away Ichigo gathers himself together and clears his throat the moment Rukia urgently calls for him, "Well Kurosaki?! What are you waiting for!"
Brown eyes looked up at a tiny girl happily entering a bus. Ichigo quickly followed suit and followed her.
They are now on the semi empty bus and all is quiet. Not a word was said because it was dark and everyone was tired and wants to get a back home from a hard day at work.
Rukia on the other hand...
She's too busy swooning over the magnificent that is all Chappy-especially when her life size Chappy plushie is seat right between her and Ichigo? She loves every moemnt of it...
Ichigo?
Ichigo hates it.
He hates every moment of it.
To be seated next to something cute and fluffy? He hates- The Chappy plushie moved?! Ichigo inwardly thought as he stared at the smiling Chappy plushie. He was sure the Chappy moved on it's own. How could it possibly-
Cute little whimpers was heard coming from the other side of the Chappy plushie as tiny arms tightly wrapped around it.
Rukia fell asleep while hugging onto her Chappy plushie and she looks cute while she's at it. With her tiny mouth slightly open and content look on her face was all too cute and innocent for Ichigo who quickly looked away. He's having these unnecessary feelings for Rukia and he's getting protective of her while he's at it-hell, Ichigo finally admits it to himself.
He likes her.
But not in the way he likes Orihime. Orihime and Rukia are on completely two different levels. Ichigo likes Orihime as a girlfriend, and Rukia as a friend... Maybe a little more than friends? But that's it. He has Orihime and that's all he needs...
Right?
Looking away from the cute sleeping tiny school girl, Ichigo looks at his watch and taps it. It was 7:19 P.M. and he has yet to call his angry lil hime, and it was all because of Rukia who dragged him into a Chappy store.
Brown eyes now look up and Ichigo noticed they were getting awfully close to their stop and pokes the tiny little school girl who cutely moans and groans. "Nuuuu.." Rukia cutely pouts, "Not yet..."
"Oi, midget." Ichigo continued to poke, trying to ignore the cute little pout girl gave earlier. "Midget, wake-"
The second time Ichigo referred to Rukia as a midget was the moment Rukia's violet eyes beamed open and her tiny fist bops Ichigo on the arm, lightly. "I'm not a midget." Rukia tiredly pouts as she rubs her eyes. "Stupid strawberry."
Rolling his eyes, Ichigo instinctively pushes Rukia's head off the Chappy plushie, messing up Rukia's hair as she glares at him. "I hate you Kurosaki."
With the cheekiest of all smiles, Ichigo proudly carries Rukia's Chappy plushie. "I hate you too."
The bus now arrives at their stop and they both get off. Rukia still being slightly drowsy and Ichigo slightly annoyed by Rukia's obliviousness.
"Oi Kuchiki." Ichigo pokes Rukia's forehead. Violet eyes flutter at the surprise poke as Rukia chidlishly pouts. "Nuuuuu... Stop poking me."
"I only poked you once!" Ichigo dead panned as he looked at a tiny smiling dazed school girl. Rukia was out of it.
Well, what would you call it when Rukia was fluttering her violet eyes and slightly smiled as she drooled?
She was sleepy and there was no way Rukia could possibly go home on her own without running into trouble.
Damn Ichigo and his need to protect.
"Oi, Kuchiki." Ichigo now has his back faced infront of a dazed Rukia. "Get on."
"Hmmm?" Rukia chidlishly hums as she tilts her head. "What do you mean by-"
"I'm going to carry you home." Ichigo grunted as he firmly held onto Rukia's Chappy bunny. "Hurry up before I change my mind."
With the toothiest of all smiles, Rukia happily gets on Ichigo's back as her legs wrap around his waist and his arms loop under her arm.
Oh the sexual tension radiating all around them was felt alright. But, Rukia was too tired and Ichigo was too embarrassed to say anything so it remained quiet. As quiet as it can get as a dazed Rukia would mumble against Ichigo's ear. Things she would never tell him if she was fully awake.
"Oi, Kuroski." Rukia childishly mumbled against his ear as her head rested on his shoulder, "Akane thinks I have a crush on you..." She giggles as Ichigo's eyes widen at the thought of Rukia having a crush on him, because if she does have a crush on him and Ichigo finds out... Everything will be complicated for Ichigo and that's the thing he doesn't want...
But damn his curiosity.
"Well?" Ichigo quietly questioned. "Do you have a crush on Kurosaki?"
It went quiet for awhile as Rukia buried her face against Ichigo's neck-Ichigo could feel the smile forming on Rukia's face once she whispers, "Don't tell Akane, but I think I might be falling for him... hard..." giggles now ensue, "Promise me you won't tell Akane!"
Blsuhing all shade of red, Ichigo clears his throat, "Promise."
-Flash back end-
Rukia lets out a light huff as she turns the door knob, pushes in and noticed something. Misato sensei isn't here... Which only meant one thing. They had a substitute for the day and Ichigo could have came to school and Rukia can't have Ichigo over her place tomorrow, not when she competing against Karakura high tomorrow.
Well shit.
What's Rukia going to do?
