No One's POV
Friday
5:00 PM
Ichigo and Rukia lay down together on Rukia's bed while watching Maleficent. "Stefan is an asshole..." Ichigo says scowling as he watches the scene between Maleficent and Stefan play out. "I know, I still like the movie so far but I hate him." Rukia says as she lays her head on Ichigo's chest and he wraps an arm around her. Rukia sighs content and Ichigo kisses the top of her head. They continue to cuddle as they watch the movie and eat some snacks when Rukia sighs. "What?" Ichigo asks as he turns to look at her. "Well, as much as I love being lazy and in bed here with you... I kind of want to do something, but just us not with everyone else." Rukia says and Ichigo thinks for a second. "I think I know where we can go. Get dressed in something really warm, were going to have to stop by my house on the way so I can change..." Ichigo says standing and Rukia looks at him. "Where are we going?" "It's a surprise." Ichigo says smiling, Rukia smiles as well before going into her closet to change.

Rukia sits on Ichigo's bed at Kurosaki Manor waiting for him to get dressed. Rukia is dressed in a white pleated skirt, black leggings, white low top converse, pink long sleeve, light yellow coat and pink scarf. Finally after a few more minutes Ichigo comes out wearing a red long sleeve, black skinny jeans with a wallet chain, black converse, and a navy blue coat with a fur lined hoodie. "Alright let's go." Ichigo says as he grabs the two boxes that are on his dresser. Just before they left Rukia's house Ichigo had gone back saying he forgot something and came back out with a box. And of course she wasn't allowed to see what was in there since its a surprise.
The two leave his house that was empty when they arrived and get into Ichigo's car and drive off. "Soo-" "I'm not telling you yet." Ichigo says laughing. "Oh come on, you know I hate surprises!" Rukia says pouting. "I know, that's what makes it more fun." Ichigo says giving her a toothy grin. Rukia lightly smacks his arm and Ichigo grins bigger. "Hey don't hit the driver!" Ichigo says and Rukia fights back a smile but fails. "You're an ass..." Rukia says turning to look out the window as they stop at a light. "Yeah... But you love me." Ichigo says leaning over and kissing her cheek just as the light turns green and he drives to their unknown destination.
After a few more minutes of driving Ichigo finally parks his car and grabs the two boxes from his back seat. "Here." Ichigo says placing the box on Rukia's lap. Rukia looks at it before lifting up the lid, when she sees what's inside her eyes light up. "These are my skates... Are we going skating?!" Rukia says her eyes bright with excitement. "Yup, I asked Hisana if you had any skates and she handed me the box. Mine are in here." Ichigo says lifting his black leather ice skates out of the box. Rukia lifts her snow white ice skates with fur lined top and smiles. "I haven't been ice skating in forever..." Rukia says and Ichigo grabs her hand. "Well then let's go." Ichigo says and Rukia nods enthusiastically and the two get out of the car and walk to the skating rink holding hands.
Ichigo puts their shoes in little locker as they sit by a bench and lace up their skates. "I hope I don't fall, it's been too long since the last time I skated..." Rukia says as she laces up her left skate. "Don't worry, I'll catch you." Ichigo says smiling at her as he stands. Rukia looks up just as she finishes up lacing her skates and sees Ichigo extending his hand to her. Rukia smiles and takes his hand as the two skate onto the ice. Rukia is a bit wobbly at first so Ichigo's grabs her hands and skates backwards to steady her. "Show off." Rukia says smiling and Ichigo's laughs. After a few minutes Ichigo decides Rukia is going to be fine so he starts to let go. "Ichigo no, I'm going to fall!" Rukia says as she stumbles but Ichigo grabs her just in time. "Its ok, I've got you." Ichigo says as Rukia gains her balance and starts to skate on her own, soon enough she's skating like a pro. "Now who's showing off?" Ichigo's says laughing as Rukia twirls on the ice.
The two skate together and have fun on the ice for a while and then make their way back to the bench they were at when they spot a little boy with Black hair and blue eyes around five years old crying. Ichigo and Rukia skate over to the little boy concern on their faces. Rukia bends down to the little boy's eye level and asks what's wrong. "I lost my mommy and daddy..." The boy says crying. "Hey it's ok, come on we'll help you find your parents." Ichigo's says giving the little boy a soft smile as he extends his hand. The little boy looks up at the smiling couple and takes Ichigo's hand. "So what's you name sweetie?" Rukia asks softly and the boy wipes away the tears from his bright blue eyes. "Ronin, what are your names?" "My name is Rukia and this is my boyfriend Ichigo." Rukia says and Ronin looks at Ichigo. "Ichigo as in one who protects?" Ronin says tilting his head to the side as Ichigo smiles big. "Yes Ronin, it means one who protects." Ichigo says and Rukia giggles.
After a few minutes of skating and trying to find Ronin's parents Rukia suggests it would be easier if Ronin could spot them. "Good point... Ronin come here." Ichigo says and Ronin moves over to Ichigo who then puts him on his shoulders. "Do you see them Ronin?" Ichigo's asks and Ronin smiles. "Yes! They're on the other side of the rink talking to one of the employees!" Ronin says and the three immediately skate they near Robin's parents his mom a tall beautiful woman with tan skin, dark brown wavy hair and bright blue eyes turns and sees them. "Ronin!" She yells and grabs hold of her husband's arm. Ronin's dad turns and his brown eyes lock on to Ronin who is smiling happily from in between Rukia and Ichigo.
"These your parents Ronin?" Ichigo's asks and Ronin nods. "Well then go to them silly!" Rukia says smiling and Ronin nods as he skates over to his parents who embrace him in a hug making Ichigo smile softly at the scene. "Thank you so much, we were so worried when we lost him in a crowd of people." Ronin's mom says standing and wiping tears away. "We're just goad we were able to help him find you guys." Rukia says smiling. "Thank you though, we really appreciate it..." Ronin's dad says trailing off since he doesn't know their names. "Oh I'm sorry, I'm Rukia Kuchiki." "And I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." The two say and Ronin's dad nods and shakes their hands. "Thank you Ichigo, Rukia." Ronin's dad says. "Yes, thank you both so much." Ronin's mom says. "It was no problem." Ichigo says smiling softly as he sees Ronin's mom fussing over Ronin. "Well, we should head home." Ronin's dad says and Ronin's mom nods. Ronin runs over to Ichigo's and Rukia and hugs them both. "Thank you Ichigo's and Rukia!" Ronin says and the two hug him back. "You're welcome Ronin." Rukia says. "Take care and be careful ok?" Ichigo says ruffling Ronin's hair. Ronin nods and waves goodbye as he leaves with his parents. Ichigo and Rukia wave back and smile as the little family leaves.
Ichigo then wraps an arm around Rukia and kisses her temple. "I can't wait for that to be us..." Ichigo says and Rukia looks at him and smiles. "Me either." Rukia says and the two kiss.
~Skip~~
Ichigo's and Rukia are at a little cafe by the skating rink drinking hot chocolate as it's actually quite chilly now and they are pretty cold from being at the rink. "That was so much fun, thank you Ichigo." Rukia says kissing his cheek. "You're welcome, and I had fun too. As much as I love our friends it's nice when it's just us." Ichigo says kissing Rukia's temple. The two sit talking and drinking their hot chocolate until they see it's almost 7:30. "We should go, it's almost time for dinner-" Rukia says but is cut off by her phone ringing. "Hello?... Hi mom... Oh... No I don't mind... Le me ask him.." Rukia turns to Ichigo and covers her phone. "Ichigo's do you think I can come over to your house? My parents are going over out to a last minute business dinner." "Yeah, let me just call and tell them ahead of time." Ichigo says and dials his mom's number. After the two finish speaking to their mom's they decide to start heading to Kurosaki Manor.
After Dinner
Rukia is in the living room with Masaki, Yuzu and Karin while Isshin and Ichigo are in the kitchen washing the dishes. "Rukia have you tried on your costume yet?" Yuzu asks and Rukia nods. "Yup tried it on earlier today when Yumichika dropped it off. What about you and Karin?" Karin rolls her eyes. "We tried them on... And the old man said he refuses to let us go out with our costumes." "Really?" Rukia says laughing. "Yup Ichigo almost did too but then we threatened to tell you and make sure you didn't wear your costume either and he shut up about it." Karin says smirking while Rukia laughs and shakes her head as her cheeks tinge pink. "Well that's one way to get him to agree." Rukia says laughing. "So how was skating with Ichigo?" Yuzu asks. "It was amazing, I haven't been skating in so long so it was just great. All of us should go all together when it starts snowing in a few weeks." Rukia says with a giant smile on her face. "We should! We could have a snowball fight, build snow forts and make snow angels! Plus we could take Ururu with us!" Yuzu says clapping her hands together happily. "Yeah that would be pretty cool, we haven't done something like that in the winter time since we were in middle school." Karin says giving a small smile.
"What haven't we done since Middle school that would be pretty cool?" Ichigo says walking in with Isshin who is sporting a busted lip. "What happened?" Masaki says standing and walking over to Isshin. "Just our son being ungrateful and not accepting the advice I was trying to give him!" Isshin says and Ichigo rolls his eyes. "Yeah well we were actually having a moment and you killed it by being an old perv!" Ichigo says scowling and taking a seat next to Rukia who is giggling. "What's so funny?" Ichigo asks raising an eyebrow. "Oh nothing, I just think you and your dad's father son relationship is actually kind of funny and sweet." Rukia says as Ichigo's eyes widen and Isshin smiles. "Seriously?" Ichigo asks and Rukia nods.
Masaki smiles at the two before suggesting they all go in the den and watch a movie together. "What movie would you all like to see?" Masaki says. "How about a Disney movie?" Isshin suggests and everyone agrees. "How about Mulan?" Karin suggests since Mulan is one of her favorites. "Aww what about Brave?" Yuzu says mentioning one her favorite princesses. "Well I particularly like Beauty and the Beast." Masaki says and Ichigo chuckles at his girlfriend's expression when she hears his mom say that. "Your favorite Disney Princess movie is Beauty and the Beast?!" Rukia says and Masaki nods smiling. "Its been my favorite since I first saw it, is it yours as well?" Masaki says and Rukia nods enthusiastically. "Alright then Beauty and the Beast it is!" Masaki says as she starts putting on the movie.
~A Little While Later~
"Thanks again for letting me stay for dinner Masaki, Isshin." Rukia says as everyone stands out in the foyer of Kurosaki Manor as Ichigo gets ready to drive Rukia home. "Don't worry about it Rukia, your basically family! You and your parents are always welcome here." Isshin says smiling at her. "Isshin is right no thanks is necessary Rukia." Masaki says giving her a warm smile. "Well thank you anyway." Rukia says giving them each a hug before turning to the twins. "And you guys are coming over tomorrow morning with Ichigo right?" Yuzu and Karin nod saying they will be there early to help set up with everyone else and to get ready there for the party as well. "Alright well goodnight everyone!" Rukia says giving a small wave as Ichigo holds open the car door for her and she gets in. "Be safe driving son!" Isshin says as Ichigo starts backing out of the driveway and nods at his dad before driving away.
Rukia yawns as Ichigo drives her home while some Panic! At The Disco plays softly. "Tired?" Ichigo asks as he holds her hand. "Yeah but it was a really good day. I can't wait for tomorrow!" Rukia says smiling. "I'm glad you had fun, and I completely agree with the idea you and the twins have about going ice skating and having a camping trip when it starts snowing in a few weeks." Ichigo says as he turns onto Rukia's street. Ichigo parks the car in front on the curb and walks Rukia to the door. "That's weird, usually my parents stay up until I get home…" Rukia says noticing all the lights are off. Just then her phone goes off and Rukia sees it's Hisana calling. "Mom?... Oh, ok… yeah it's no problem. Ok I'll see you in a bit bye… Well they're stuck in traffic and won't be home for a while…" Rukia says biting her lip. "Want me to stay with you until they get home just in case?" Ichigo asks and Rukia nods. Ichigo smiles and kisses her forehead before taking out his phone and calling his mom. "Hey mom… Yeah everything is ok it's just Hisana and Byakuya are stuck in traffic so I'm going to stay here with Rukia until they get home… Ok, yeah I will mom… ok bye… Alright I'm all clear." Ichigo says as Rukia opens the door and the two head to the living room.
The two end up watching Men In Black II and soon enough Rukia is asleep and Byakuya and Hisana are home.
Hisana awws at the couple saying how cute they look as Ichigo blushes and Byakuya gives a small discreet warm smile. Ichigo picks up Rukia (who snuggles up to him automatically making him blush) bridal style and carries her to her room. Hisana quickly changes Rukia into pajamas while Byakuya thanks Ichigo for being with Rukia and not leaving her by herself. "You don't need to thank me, I love her so of course I would do these things for her." Ichigo says as Hisana comes back out and Ichigo excuses himself so he can say goodnight to Rukia before he leaves home.
Byakuya is smiling softly as Ichigo walks into Rukia's room "Why are all if a sudden all smiley Byakuya?" Hisana says teasing her husband. "I'm glad you talked me into letting those two date, he's good for her." Byakuya says telling Ichigo and Rukia goodnight as he passes Rukia's room and goes to his leaving his stunned wife behind.
