Chapter 9: The Snow Only Shines Under The Sun
Rukia Kuchiki woke up to the sound of her Chappy collector's edition alarm clock which had been set to ring at five in the morning. She yawned and rubbed her eyes to get rid of the sleepiness and stood up from her bed. There was no point to opening the curtains seeing as though the sun wasn't even out yet and as she peeked outside, she saw that snow had been falling down lightly. Her lips curved to a smile at the weather. She went to her closet and grabbed a white and black jacket which had a turtle neck for the cold and wore running short and her rubber shoes. She grabbed her phone and a pair headphones as well as as some money. She tied her hair into a ponytail and left the room getting her keys along the way.
She went straight to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth and to just simply freshen up.
As soon as she exited she heard a certain door swing open and few rather big thuds with few footsteps as well as a yawn.
"Hey... Where are you going at this hour?" he asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes.
Shit... He sounds great in the morning, her mind had commented.
"I-Ichigo, what about you, why are you up so early?" she asked as an excuse.
He gave her a puzzled and sleepy look as he slowly strode out of the room to meet her in the hallway. "Well... I think you're way too loud." he said in a sleepy kind of way.
She lowered her head so that she wouldn't have to look at him. "Sorry about that." she apologized. "I was gonna take a jog."
He leaned down tilting his head just to see her face. "Is that so? Can I tag along?"
She averted her eyed and nodded reluctantly. "Just hide that ridiculous hair of yours, I don't feel like dealing with cameras."
He smiled and saluted at her as he went back to er... His room now. Rukia followed him to his room to help out just so that she wasn't off schedule. A little change in her schedule could become a big change so punctuality was important. She entered the room slowly and saw Ichigo find his hoodie.
"Where would your hair dye be?" Rukia asked.
He didn't look at her but spoke. "Well, we'll just go with the spray one. It's in that bag over there." he said as he pointed towards one of his duffle bags.
Rukia nodded and went to search for a certain can of hair spray. While she was searching she was looking at what Ichigo was doing. Apparently he found a blue hoodie and his rubber shoes. He then took his shirt off and that was the breaking point of Rukia's mind.
A simple act of taking his shirt off.
Rukia blushed furiously as she tried not to look any further. That was a danger zone. She shouldn't stare any longer. It was bad for her. Though how does any woman not stare when one of the opposite sex looks so... hot. Does this man work out everyday? The way he takes his shirt off makes it look like a strip tease but then again, aren't all actors like that?
Does it take that long to wear a hoodie?
But really, you could group him with the Olympian gods based on physique.
Ichigo Kurosaki had a fantastic body. You could tell he was toned through all that clothing but without them? Oh dear lord... If she never knew him she might've just raped him. But no she knew him and he was off limits. He had broad sexy shoulders and he wasn't super wrestler bulky, his muscles were hard but in a sinewy thin sexy way.
Shit, are those six pack washboard abs?
Finally the thick cloth had obscured his body from view and that was when she let out the breath she unknowingly had held the entire time. She grabbed the can of hairspray robustly and stomped to Ichigo. She shoved the can to his face, scoffed and stomped out uniformly and shut the door in a not so quiet way.
Ichigo held the can of hairspray and looked at the door in an awkward way. "What is with that woman?"
"So you jog at this time everyday?" Ichigo asked nonchalantly as he was jogging uniformly with Rukia as they rounded the curb. A puff of cold air came out with their breaths.
Rukia adjusted her turtleneck. "Well yeah I do, it's my only form of exercise..." she replied uninterestedly as she tried to outrun Ichigo. To no avail of course, he exercised too.
He smirked at her. "Well, seems like it'll take you a long time before you can outrun me midget..." he told her smugly as he slightly picked up the pace.
As they jogged for a while while Ichigo rushed past her. He noticed she stopped and looked back. "Why'd you stop midget?" he said cautiously as he inched towards her.
She displayed a cold and knowing smile. "Well... If it's a challenge you want then shall we race all the way the way to the nature trail?" she asked confidently. In fact, she should be because she practically did this everyday.
Ichigo gave her a confident grin. "Bring it!"
"On the count of three." she stated as they both nodded in agreement.
"1"
"2"
"3!"
And they were off. They weren't simply jogging for exercise they were running for competition. Serious competition. There was no actual prize, just bragging rights. There was no actual thing at stake, just their pride. To some it may be petty but to them, it was to prove who was actually running things. Who was the dominant figure in the house. Well, technically speaking.
They zoomed across the dark pavement as snow fell all around them making a coat of snow frosting on their hair. They ran past many closed shops without slipping, their rubber shoes had provided enough friction to stand against the slipper surface. Naturally Ichigo had the advantage because he had longer legs but Rukia was able to keep up with him without much effort and that surprised him. He put a little more effort in his running but Rukia leveled with him anyway. The little midget sure was fast.
They ran across a pedestrian lane and as soon as they reached the other side, the entrance to the park where the nature trail was was in their line of sight. They looked at each other shortly and both with confident smirks began to sprint towards the start of the trail. Ichigo had managed to shoot pass Rukia and saw that he was thirty steps away. He smirked in victory and as soon as he was merely five steps away, Rukia had shot pass him like a bullet and stopped directly after crossing the start of the trail.
She won.
Ichigo managed to get pass the start of the trail moments later panting harder than ever. It looked as if he was drenched in water due to all the sweat while Rukia, was red in the face and she was sweating but not as much. Her milky white skin just glowed in the snow and her skin glistened in sweat. Something Ichigo found unconsciously pleasing.
After catching their breaths they decided to head up the hill to take a breather as they waited for the sunrise that indicated when vendors would come around selling water, sports drink and maybe something hot like tea or hot chocolate for the weather. Some would sell pastries for snacks or for some early joggers, breakfast.
They sat on a soft part if the grassy snowy hill to take a breather.
"Something's wrong with you midget..." he said with a breath.
Rukia smirked as she lay down on the grass. "Am I too fast for you?"
He smiled as he propped up his arms for support. "That's why I said something's wrong with you." he replied sarcastically
Rukia laughed at the comment. They lay in silence for a while in the snow before a thought had appeared in Rukia's head. Snow...
She grabbed more than a handful of the cold substance she loved and shaped it into a firm solid ball. She sat up and threw it at the back of his head as hard as she could. The ball shattered upon impact.
Ichigo's head sharply turned towards Rukia direction accompanied with his signature scowl. He grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at her but Rukia had managed to roll out of the way. Ichigo stood up while grabbing two snowballs and threw them at her simultaneously but she just simply ducked to avoid them. She grabbed another snowball and reserved it. When Ichigo threw another snowball, Rukia dodged and threw the snowball at his face causing an even bigger scowl upon his supposedly handsome face. This time, he grabbed a super sized snowball and threw the thing at Rukia, the flimsy thing crumbled upon impact. As the remains of the snowball fell to the ground helplessly, it revealed Rukia's oh so very mad face.
"Oh you asked for it bastard!" she yelled at him as she grabbed a bunch of snow from the ground to throw at the temporary brown headed man for revenge.
She flung a huge snowball at him and it certainly hit it's mark pissing her target off. She ducked as another snowball shot in her direction then she grabbed another handful of snow to retaliate with, he made a lucky dodge when he crouched to gather more snow much to Rukia's evident dismay.
"Hey Ichiberry, you're losing to a girl!" she taunted him with a snowball.
Ichigo dodged it and threw another ball at her which nearly hit it's mark. "I'll make you go back on your words midget!" he replied.
As soon as he crouched down to gather more snow, he saw a beautiful thing. The snow was shimmering in a gorgeous manner. They both stopped in their tracks as they noticed the light ascend. It was a beautiful winter sunrise that made the snow so beautiful. The sunlight had made the snow all shiny and dazzling. Rukia had been grinning like mad at the sight of all of this. This was one of the many reasons why she had adored the snow so much. She looked up to find Ichigo bearing almost the same expression as Rukia. He saw her look at him and gestured to where the sunrise was. She was shocked. Since when did the sun look so amazing? So beautiful for once. She hated how bright it was as well as the extreme heat that came with it but the view of it rising had been simply splendid. How could she have missed this.
"Beautiful ain't it? That's why I like the sun." he stated to her in a voice that indicated that he was content.
Rukia smiled as the light reflected of her eyes. "It's not that bad I guess but I still don't like it entirely." she replied.
He looked at her, if he was in his natural hair color, he would've matched the sun perfectly along with his deep amber eyes. "I managed to change your opinion." he replied smugly.
"And I believe yours has been somewhat changed as well." she replied matching his smug tone.
He looked a little surprised but he smiled anyway. "It ain't that bad I guess. Maybe if it wasn't so cold."
Rukia looked back at the sunrise. "Well, it's snow. What do you expect?"
He took a step closer. "Well, it's the sun. What do you expect?"
They looked at each other for a while before bursting out in laughter. They had laughed like old friends until one vendor showed up. Then, eventually, the usual park vendors had surfaced as well as joggers and some families.
"I'm thinking we should head back..." Rukia stated.
"Yeah, we should. It's getting kinda crowded." he replied as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.
Rukia turned around facing the route to the exit. "Do you wanna walk or do we take the cab?" she asked considerately.
"I'm not that tired. Besides, you're food's good. Might as well right?" he replied casually.
Rukia nodded back and they began to trek back all the way to the cafe. They passed many joggers as well some owners walking their dogs wherein Rukia would stop for the cute fluffy ones for a while before Ichigo had to haul her away. They went through the park gate and got back on the now naturally lit streets. As they walked they maintained a two feet distance away from each other to avoid other people from getting the wrong idea and walked in some awkward silence.
Rukia kept on walking before she noticed that the other person wasn't walking with her anymore. She looked back to find him staring at a shop display. Rukia frowned at him before approaching him.
"What is it?" she asked.
She found him looking at a red ribbon accessory through the glass.
"I remember buying this thing for her before. She forced me to buy it actually or else she would've shoplifted it..." he replied as though he was in deep thought.
"Her as in Senna?"
He nodded stiffly before giving her an intense gaze which Rukia found awkward. "Yeah... That ribbon was the reason why we met I guess. I found her leaving that store with that thing unnoticed by security. Naturally, stealing was wrong so I ran after. Apparently she forgot she was wearing it and I dragged her back to the store. I payed for it myself. But, if I never saw her go with that thing then I would never have had experienced what it was like to truly be in love." he said happily as he began to reminisce.
Rukia couldn't help but smile. She had felt the exact same thing before. "Where is she now?" Rukia asked innocently.
As soon as she asked, his face lost that wonderful smile of his. His face had shifted to that of sorrow and pain as he turned away from the store. He pulled up his hood and lowered it to the point where his eyes were no longer visible. "She's not around anymore..." he replied grimly as he began to jog back. Rukia watched him run away and cursed at herself. How insensitive could she be? She was confident that he looked into her situation but he had never said anything insensitive towards her. She's gone... Gone as in that kind of gone? The kind where you will never see her again? This revelation was unnerving. What kind of gone?
She began to follow suit but maintained a steady distance from him to give him some space. She didn't know he actually needed someone to make him feel better.
Rukia slammed a paper onto a post on the second floor hallway and placed taped on it upon impact. The paper clearly read house rules.
HOUSE RULES:
1. Obey the Owner
2. Privacy must be respected at all times.
3. No bringing home of girls. Take them elsewhere.
4. If you are somehow late for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You pay for the food.
5. Shower's come in shifts. (You know why.)
6. The stock rooms are strictly off limits.
7. Do not openly show your hair in public.
Noncompliance means you get kicked out.
"Are we clear?" Rukia asked him with a raised eyebrow as she pointed to the flimsy piece of paper stuck on the wall.
Ichigo closed his eyes calmly and raised a hand. "One question."
Rukia scowled. "Speak up."
He looked up intently. "Complete obedience?"
Rukia crossed her arms and smirked. "Of course. I own the place, what I say goes." she replied confidently.
Ichigo scowled deeply. From the way he was scowling, he was sure to get wrinkles early on. "Fine... Only until repairs are done at my place..." he replied begrudgingly.
"Now that that's settled, I'll be in the shower first." she stated as she ran off to her room to pick up her stuff before running off to the familiar door. She eyed Ichigo dangerously before entering the bathroom.
Ichigo sighed deeply.
What does she expect me to do here? It's not like she'd happily lend me her tv. It's not like she has a collection of books in that stock room of hers does she? I guess it's possible but the stock room is off limits. He could always pay a visit whenever she takes a shower. Though that would be awfully mean of him. He was imposing too much on her already. All his guy stuff were caught in the fire so his entertainment source was nearly nonexistent as of the moment.
He could always replenish it.
Ichigo went of to his room, grabbed a post it, scrawled something on it with his messy handwriting and went our to post it directly above the house rules paper. She was bound to notice, there was no way you could miss it.
He went back in to change his clothes and to grab his wallet and cellphone. Then he went out of the room and down the stairs quietly to avoid startling the devil's incarnate. He managed to slip out quietly.
"You're telling me you went off to buy a thirty inch full HD TV and a PS3 while I was having my shower..." she said in a pissed tone as she glared at the TV and the PS3 using the Kuchiki glare in hopes of breaking the gadgets.
He was apparently playing a game wherein assassinating people was a righteous thing. As soon a he silently killed a guard with this hidden blade mechanism, Ichigo gave out a sigh of relief and carried on with his game. "Well, it's not like it's in any violation against the rules..." he replied half heartedly.
Rukia placed her hands on her hips. " Ichigo... You're wasting my electricity..." she seethed at him.
His character had just gotten caught by one of the other guards and he had begun to flee the scene by doing some odd parkour thing. "I'll pay for your electricity bill then..." he replied still half heartedly.
A vein popped on Rukia's head. "That's not the point. Get that noisy expensive thing out of my house!" she yelled at him as she pointed towards the door.
His character had managed to flee the scene but he ended falling of an Italian tower by accident hence, his character had died. "I'll just mute the volume then."
Rukia groaned in frustration. "This isn't even your own house yet you bought an TV and a PS3..." she seethed.
"Then I'll just be your lovely tenant. I can pay for rent." he replied as he took the cd out and popped in another one where the title screen was most peculiar. Devils don't cry at all...
"Ugh! You are so infuriating!" she cried out.
Ichigo hadn't even started playing the actual game yet he popped the cd out to replace it with an odder looking one. He got another controller and offered it to Rukia. "Calm Down. Why don't you play with me?"
"No..." she instantly replied.
He scowled. "Best two out of three. If you can beat me at Tekken 6 and Capcom VS Marvel 3 I'll throw the TV and the PS3 out. Deal?" he offered in the nicest way possible.
Rukia glared at him using the infamous Kuchiki glare. It was clear she had been debating on whether she should accept his challenge. Then she stubbornly sat right next to Ichigo on the floor and grabbed the controller. "Fine, what's in it for you?"
"Nothing much. I just want to keep my HD TV and PS3..." he replied rather bluntly.
Rukia frowned deeply. "Alright asshole... Which one's first?"
He smirked as the opening sequence of the game had begun to play. It seemed pretty violent enough with all the soldiers oppressing people and some weird dudes whose hairs defy gravity. It can't stay up like that. Then a fighting bear? What's up with that.
He clicked start at the title screen and selected versus mode. A screen full of odd people appeared. "Pick a character."
Rukia looked at him weirdly. "Okay then... Asuka here looks decent."
Ichigo smirked. "She's not for beginners. I suggest getting Marshal Law or someone easy." he replied.
Rukia glared at him intently. "I don't need to use easy characters. I bet your character is easy..." she snorted at him.
Ichigo looked at her as if she actually just made a joke. "Are you kidding me? Jin Kazama is a difficult character because he's so slow. You just need the right combos to make him fast." he replied arrogantly.
Rukia growled at him. "Fine then. I choose Lee Chaolan!" she scoffed stubbornly as she clicked the square button.
Ichigo smirked at her evilly. "Suit yourself." he said as he clicked the X button to select a random stage. Finally, the versus screen had appeared them moments later, it was the battle screen.
The announcer of the game had shouted out fight. Rukia tried to press triangle and square for some punches. She found that her character sucked in punches as her character was being pounded by the Kazama Five Hit Combo. She eventually learned how to block and found that her character was a fast kicker. She experimented and learned that she could do consecutive kicks by pressing X and that you could finish the combo with a circle button giving Ichigo's character some good damage. Rukia then accidentally did a somersault knocking his character off and almost started Rage. She did the same effective combo and learned how to do a grapple before Ichigo simply broke off her throw and gave her a winning Corpse Thrust. Round One Match one was Ichigo's. Rukia gritted her teeth and quickly skipped the replay sequence. She did a revolution zwei before giving his character a hammer kick then a soccer kick. This game isn't so hard after all.
Ichigo's character was now in Rage while Rukia was still at least two hits away from it. He performed a Tidal Wave throw instantly knocking Rukia's character out. Round Two Match One was Ichigo's win.
Rukia gritted her teeth. "This is only the first match."
"Whatever you say Rukia..." he replied in a mocking tone as the screen switched back the select a character screen.
Rukia chose a character named Devil Jin rather quickly and pressed square to make the selection official. Ichigo on the other hand had chosen a character named Lars Alexanderson. His character had funny looking eyebrows and hair that defied gravity. So did her character, he was a devil. Since Rukia had been the loser, she had to pick the arena. She chose randomly and the versus screen showed up. The battle came up and the fight started with the announcer shouting fight.
Rukia quickly mimicked Ichigo's earlier moves, namely Corpse Thrust. She then did a double lift kick and succeeded in giving some damage. Unfortunately, his character had retaliated from below and landed some lightning uppercut thing. While her character was in the air, Ichigo had begun his onslaught juggling her character in the air with a series of attacks taking away more than half of her health bar. Eventually, Rukia had discovered her character's flight and laser abilities, something she began to utilize a lot more often seeing as how Ichigo seems to be caught of guard by this. She had managed to get Ichigo low on health. The first round was becoming to start a tad bit dragging seeing as though both fighters were fighting for their health bars, the kept blocking and parrying until Rukia managed to score a hit on an unguarded part. The K.O word had flashed across the screen much to Ichigo's dismay.
"Beginner's luck" he scoffed as he hastily skipped the replay scene.
Rukia smirked as she thought of a combo to use. When the word fight accompanied with the booming voice of the announcer had flashed across the screen Rukia instantly did a combo called Three Ring Circus causing Ichigo's character to fly in the air. Rukia did several uppercuts to juggle him in the air while Ichigo was desperately pressing random buttons to break the air combo. Finally, there was a short lag in Rukia's attacks and that was when Ichigo retaliated by doing a quick attack with lightning all around. Rukia was knocked off but she did a back roll to evade. She then did this flying laser attack effectively hitting Ichigo. She them kept hitting while he was still on the ground until he hit her character on the shins. Rukia recovered quickly and accidentally hit a button which made her character do a Dragon Uppercut instantly killing off Ichigo's character. The K.O sign flashed across the screen and Ichigo was scowling heavily at his loss.
"Another round?" she asked him smugly.
"Don't get cocky midget!" he growled at her as he skipped the replay button. "It's best two out of three for each game remember."
"Yeah I know..." she replied smugly as she randomly selected Marshal Law.
Ichigo on the other hand had selected Baek Doo San.
The usual stuff had appeared on the screen once more and the two had begun another intense final round for Tekken. Both of them had given punch after punch and kick after kick. Whenever one would do a throw, the other would do so too right after recovering. The first round ended in a very frustrating tie as both of them had kicked at the exact same time. They took a moment to glare at each other before snobbishly facing the screen. They mashed the buttons so intensely that they might've just broken the thing saving Rukia the trouble. Unfortunately, it was built sturdy.
The final round just happened to end in another tie. Perfect...
Both of them were pissed at the game and at each other.
Rukia threw the controller at him and stood up snappily. "Forget it, it's a waste of time." she snarled. "And take bath, you stink!" she ordered him with a snobby tone as she started stomping out in a fit.
A strong grip prevented her from leaving.
"Do you hate losing that much?" he asked smugly.
"No." she retorted as she tried to tug his hand off to no avail of course. He obviously worked out a lot.
"Then why are you so mad?" he asked in a kinda pissed tone himself. "Because for you information, I am getting tired of your mood swings!"
"Mood swings are for pubescent teenagers! How dare you..." she seethed at him as her reply.
Ichigo took a dangerous step forward while till maintaining his grip on her wrist. "Rukia." he stated intensely.
"Please don't get mad..." he pleaded.
Rukia's eyebrow rose significantly as she found his behavior as awkward. "Why?"
He directed his amber eyes towards her amethyst ones seriously. "Didn't I make that clear yesterday? Or do I need to drill it into your brain?" he said seriously.
Rukia knew it was an offending statement yet she felt no intent to actually offend her. Yesterday had been another day she would have loved to forget. If she didn't, she wouldn't have been able to be so civil with him right now. Rukia cringed at the memory of a certain thing he had mentioned yesterday which happened to be what Ichigo had been currently implying.
"Screw this! Why are you so pretty when you're mad! I must be going nuts again!" she recalled begrudgingly.
How could she not get mad when he was such an infuriating individual? Every aspect and action of him was something she found irritating and loathsome.
Rukia couldn't just simply control her temper around him. It was am impossible feat. It was like asking man to fly all the way towards Pluto without a rocket in an hour.
"Ichigo, if you don't want me mad then don't get me mad." she replied coldly.
"How the hell do I do that exactly? I have no fucking clue."
Rukia slowly turned to face him only to find him in a very confused state. That was when the realization hit her. He truly meant to say a different thing umconciously. This wasn't about her getting mad, that would be plain stupid. This was all about his growing attraction towards her, she could feel it. From the party all the way till now, he had always blamed it all on her because he refused to accept what he felt. Rukia scowled at the concept deeply.
She shouldn't have let him get too near her. Just as it should be but even she was being allured by him. She was too blind to notice that.
It's too late. It was too late the moment they had first kissed.
"I honestly don't know Ichigo." she replied as she managed to free herself from his now loose grip.
"But let me get this straight. Whatever I will say will have no pride or denial attached to it. You like kissing me and I like kissing you more than I really should. I know for a fact that both of us feel no actual affection towards each other. In other words, what we have is simply lust and lust is temporary. It will pass with time and endurance." she stated like a college professor.
Ichigo's eyes widened at her sudden statement but then they settled down again. "But..." he murmured.
"But what?"
"I don't want it to simply pass."
"Why?" she snapped at him.
"You're the first woman to have lingered in my mind for so long with no apparent reason. I know I don't like you in that way but I don't think ignoring our unconscious mind's needs is the best solution. We're just running away."
"Then what do you propose we do!" she yelled at him frustratedly.
"Remember how back in high school, making out was a common thing where it didn't matter what it meant?"
"Yes but-"
Those words would never surface as they were completely cut off by Ichigo's hot mouth. His hand had been holding the nape of her neck pulling her closer as Rukia didn't moved, she was still surprised seeing as though she had every intention to not kiss him at all today. His mouth had slid against hers sensually that Rukia couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck as the hand holding her neck had slid lower to her back, his other hand had gone to her waist attempting to close the distance which was to say, zero.
Rukia responded with as much force and vigor as she was clearly enjoying the tastes of him. Apparently, the feeling is mutual. Ichigo finally shoved his tongue in her mouth and Rukia did not hesitate to comply with his wants. Rukia had this tiny resolve to win this time seeing as though she hated to lose and lashed out her tongue ferociously against his. Ichigo had been overwhelmed by the sudden surge of power and lost dominance to Rukia but her didn't totally mind seeing as though kissing her could induce such a euphoria within him.
He shoved her against the door for support as he begun to unleash another onslaught upon her mouth causing Rukia to gasp hard at the impact. He grunted as Rukia had behind to start searching his body with those sly digits of hers. Ichigo angled his head and opened his mouth more to taste her even more than what was humanely possible. As her hands had searched him with a sense of desperate urgency his on the other hand had begun to fondle her breast causing moans to emanate from her sinful throat. Ichigo had finally managed to tear his mouth off of hers only to give her neck the same treatment as he did to her luscious lips. Rukia moaned as he pleasurably nipped at her pulse. Their bodies had been grinding against each other and it would seem Rukia could feel the not too slight protrusion in his pants against her core. As he kept kissing stroking and biting her neck into euphoria, amidst the moans, she had begun to moan his name fervently. That was when he snapped.
He had one hand on her supple delectable ass for support as Ichigo had lifted her up and dropped her on the bed just to continue kissing her tremendously kissable lips while grinding in hard. Several moans had shot out her throat as she grind back causing him to be slightly even larger than before. He had begun to rub his calloused thumb agains her nipples making her jerk with his touch. Her hand had managed to find the part of him seeking release and stroked it to a frenzy making Ichigo himself moan
Suddenly he felt Rukia shoving him off.
Her hair had all been mussed up all over the bed as her amethyst eyes had been clouded with desire, passion and some regret as she looked at him.
"R-Rukia..." he croaked.
"Please don't go too far." she pleaded him as she averted he eyes.
Ichigo gulped heavily as he allowed himself to be pushed aside. Rukia walked out of the room quietly as she wobbled off.
"It's like high school right? It's just for the heck of it..." he murmured to himself as he sat on the bed with just him and him alone on it.
"Ms. Rukia! Ms. Momo wants the usual." Kiyone hollered out to Rukia as she attended to Momo who was being her usual Momo self as she boasted of her prince charming to Kiyone after ordering.
Rukia rolled her eyes at Momo's typical everyday demeanor as she popped an apple fritter in the microwave to heat it up. Rukia took a peak to find an envious looking Kiyone.
She must not have a boyfriend then if listening to Momo boast of Toshiro was something to be ecstatic about...
Rukia turned her back onto the customers to find some stuff from the fridge. The usual stuff.
"Oh, Hey Ichigo! How's it going? You know, Rukia's gonna be so mad at you for coming down here with just a ski cap for cover." Momo greeted boisterously with a huge grin plastered onto her face.
"Yeah... I'm pretty sure it ain't healthy to keep my hair dyed. One day, they'll all fall off if I did..." the oh so familiarly infuriating but lovely voice replied.
Rukia had pretended to ignore his presence and put some extra effort at making sure he stayed ignored by her as she placed a customer's order on a tray and hollered out their name. Before she even noticed a thing, Ichigo had managed to slip behind the counter while her back was turned. She didn't notice him lean down to whispering range nor did she notice Momo's excitedness.
She shuddered as she felt a blow off hot air by her ear and realized he was there and froze.
"W-what are you doing?" she asked him shakily.
She felt him smirk. "Well Rukia. I just have this interesting proposition that may benefit us both..." he replied in a deep sensual manner making Rukia's line of sanity waver.
She gulped heavily. "A-and what might that be?"
"Well, based on what I've been doing since earlier, yesterday and the day before yesterday. I would say I pretty much want you so I propose a game." he replied arrogantly in a sinful way.
"Then the answers no." she managed to say despite hearing the fact that he wanted her. That made her nearly drop a plate or two.
"Ah ah ah, you can't refuse." he replied as he bit her ear lightly causing her to yelp. "There are practically no rules. I win when I have you I lose when don't. Simple as that."
"If those are the conditions then I'm winning seeing as though there's no way I'm letting you near me." she replied angrily.
"We'll see about that. I'll just like to warn you that I'll be playing dirty." he replied arrogantly.
"For example..." he said.
He suddenly grabbed her neck and mashed her lips against his. He quickly slip in his tongue and let her have a taste of him before he suddenly pulled back.
That self absorbent bastard, her mind seethed.
"There's more where that came from. Though that means you'll have to lose." he arrogantly proclaimed as he slipped out of the counter and went his merry way out of the cafe as Rukia simply stared at him with a mix of hatred, lust and confusion.
Momo squealed. "Oh Rukia... Seeing you two makes so happy and excited."
"That bastard. That self centered ugly evil asshole. Self proclaimed gentleman my ass..." she seethed angrily as she slammed the microwave door shut in a fit.
"It would be so much better if you would admit that you want him too..." Momo whined quietly to Kiyone who nodded in full agreement.
Rukia's head turned to their direction. "I heard that..." she snapped at them.
Oh Rukia... Stubborn as always. Makes me wonder why you were so different towards him back then... Maybe it's the mentor thing, Momo thought.
But I know one thing's for sure. Denial just means that once you let it go, it'll be something great. Better than before.
AN: Hisashiburi~ It's been a while... I haven't been able to update the fic because I had a computer ban for my fourth quarter periodical exams which I hope I passed. So I was only able to write yesterday sadly. Oh well, I'll make it up to you by updating the fic by tomorrow as compensation. It only takes a day to write and seeing as though I have nothing better to do then I might as well. Though honestly, don't expect one tomorrow...
Ah yes~ on to the reviews.
Svetlana Sparkle- You assume right ～（ゝ。∂）
Imou- I'll put plenty of awkwardness for comedic relief.
hinataellis- first comes love~ second comes marriage~ third comes a baby in a baby carriage~
shnizlefritz- Arigatou Gozaimasu...
Ayashi Kinsho- *bows head* Gomenasai but I sort of based what happened to Rukia on a video game and the serial killer in the game matched Stark's character. Honto Ni gomenasai. I need smart killers and I have plans for ulquiorra. (＞人＜;)
kaiserkawaii- I actually prefer Taecyon over Kim Soo Hyun. Though I must admit, Soo Hyun was pretty hot after the second haircut...
Moonlight's Shadow Warrior- Kentaro? Maybe... Guess it would be fun if I do bring him in. Who Grimmjow hooked up with is a mystery to me as well. Let's just say she's too insignificant in the world to mention.
smile09- ah thank you~ I hope they stay the way you envision it.
So that's that~
Assassin's creed brotherhood hates me~ I bought one. It doesn't work. I had it replaced. It doesn't work. I got the replacement replaced. It doesn't work. I am so buying NTSC-J now... NTSC has failed me a lot...
