Hi everyone! Sorry that it has taken a long time for me to get a chapter out. If you have seen the latest chapter of The People Under the Stairs, you would know my hard times with being on a boat for several days. But I'm back to write this chapter. I hope you guys liked the last one. c: I want to thank you all for favoriting/reviewing/following this story. It means a lot to me c:
Disclaimer: I will never own Bleach. I wish I was related to Tite Kubo so I could say I am family with a legend.. But nope, never will happen.
H-height
At Karakura High, many guys are usually taller than girls. The height difference is not too great between most students, but some are slightly taller than average. Take Chad and Ichigo, thos two are the taller students of the school. Many have to look up to them while talking, but not too far to strain anyone's neck. They could easily reach for anything pretty high, it's not a problem at all. There was no problem for them to do anything at their height, except crawl into small spaces. That doesn't happen often though, and if it does there were always the smaller students anyway. There was a reason why Ichigo loved being this height, he felt tall and intimidating to one person. The one person he felt powerful againts is Rukia Kuchiki.
Rukia Kuchiki was quite a short girl. She was not average height or the same size as the girls in the school. she was shorter and smaller than everyone in the school. Out on the streets, one could mistake her for a middle school kid. Rukia never minded her height difference, but it did get a little annoying when a certain orange haired teen teased her to death about it. It was a daily hassle for Rukia to reach things from his hand. It was amusing to see the two mess with each other, but it was more entertainment to most when Rukia got abusive and let it out on Ichigo. Most days Ichigo would end with a kick to the shins, slap to the head, or elbows to the stomach. Overall, Ichigo would end up injured while Rukia would leave unscathe.
Even though there is a lot of teasing between each other's height, they still help each other through everything. Rukia believes that Ichigo's giant height was to be her use of a ladder. Rukia likes that she could get onto Ichigo's shoulder and grab everything. It helped that she was super light weight, she didn't feel as bad being on Ichigo's shoulder. While on his back, Rukia always knew this was a way Ichigo wanted to be. A protective, helpful guy that would always be there for her for everything. Rukia knew she could always rely on Ichigo, but this rarely happened. She hears more insults about her height than the actual help she receives.
Today was no different from the torture she receives. Rukia was making desserts today for a party she is attending. It was either her or Orihime to bake, everyone unaminously voted Rukia to be in charge. Everyone loves Orihime of course, just no one could handle her cooking as well as herself. Orihime was sad at first, until she became in charge of the decorations. Grabbing the pans, Rukia began the baking. Taking out the eggs, butter, and sugar, Rukia had almost all the ingredients except for the flour. Looking through each cupboard, Rukia could not find the flour anywhere. Feeling anger at the missing flour, Rukia takes a chance and looks up. Groaning at the now found flour, Rukia looks up in defeat. Seeing the flour so high, Rukia knows for sure that she will not be able to reach it. Calling for the one person she needs, Rukia could feel ego fill up the room as Ichigo walked in.
Walking up to Rukia, Ichigo smiles down and greets her. "What's up Ru? What do you need?" mumbling to Ichigo, Rukia crosses her arms and looks away. "What did you say? I couldn't hear you down there." Growling at the tall teen, Rukia elbows Ichigo in the stomach and grabs his ear. "Let me say it again you tall freak. I need help getting the flour. So be a good ladder and help me." Standing back up, Ichigo scowls down at the midget. "Listen here midget, you can't order me around. Why don't you get a real ladder instead? It would be easier than using me." Walking over to grab the flour, Ichigo turns around after to see a defeated and slightly scared facial expression on Rukia. Grabbing Rukia and lifting her up to the counter, Ichigo looks into Rukia's eyes and moves her bang to the side. "What's wrong midget? I didn't know you were afraid of heights. You should of told me." Wrapping her arms around Ichigo's shoulder, Rukia became quiet and ignored Ichigo as she looked down in shame. "Whatever, I don't need you to make fun of me. Can't you be a loyal boyfriend and help me?" Laughing softly, Ichigo settles his head in the crook of her neck. Feeling his breath, Rukia became very heated in the cheeks. "Ichigo, stop it fool. I need to finish the desserts." Ignoring her protests, Ichigo gave soft kisses to Rukia's skin all the way up to her face. Closing in on her lips, Ichigo relaxed against Rukia.
What seemed like hours to Ichigo was really only minutes in reality. Ichigo finally backs away from Rukia. He smirks at the sight of his slightly frazzled girlfriend. He thinks she looks really cute with bright red cheeks and the look of lust in her eyes. Dipping his finger into the frosting, Ichigo wipes it onto Rukia and begins to run away. "Good luck trying to get frosting on me midget!" Jumping off the counter and grabbing the frosting, Rukia chases Ichigo down. Two steps away from Ichigo, Rukia jumps and knocks down Ichigo to the floor. Sitting on top of him, Rukia dumps the frosting all over him. "Well, well, well. Looks like your height didn't give you the advantage point today. Looks like I'm the bigger person here Strawberry." Walking away, Rukia leaves a frosted Ichigo on the ground as she finished the desserts for the party.
