Hey There Shortie!

It was cold outside, that was certain, but she stayed perched on the front steps, her bunny plushie held by one hand, she couldn't stop thinking about it, she just couldn't, it was like haveing a song stuck in her head, the thoughts repeated, over and over, like the same verse, repeating over and over, 'I shouldn't be alive, I shouldn't have done these things, I should die, I deserve to die, I should never have done these things to Ichigo' those thoughts just kept going through her mind, regardless of the fact that she wanted them to stop, they wouldn't cease, she held her nees against her chest, she felt so lonely, but suddenly she didn't, suddenly someone was sitting right behind her, she looked up, Ichigo looked down, he had a crooked smirk plastered on his face, "Hey there Shortie!" he greeted, she just stared a little longer, "Hey," she greeted in return, Ichigo rolled his eyes, "Get up," he demanded, pulling on her arms and standing her up in front of him, "Wa-?" but before she could even get the words out of her mouth, he had taken her inside and planted her firmly on the sofa, she stared at him, very displeased, but his face was relaxed, he leaned his head on his hand as he sat opposite her, "Come on out with it," she ignored him, "You may speak," he said sarcastically, she wapped him with her bunny plushie, he sheilded her with his arm and in the same quick motion grabbed her rist in his hand, pulling her towards him, and into his lap, despite her slight struggle, he gently turned her face so that she could look at him, she turned away quickly, 'Don't look at him' she thought, she new wat would happen if she did, her heart was weak, SHE was weak, very weak, she would completely fall apart under his stern gaze, she would break down, admit to the way she had been feeling lately, she couldn't allow herself to do that, so she looked away, avoiding the harsh truth, he turned her face again, this time makeing sure that she couldn't look away, she could only avoid his eyes at this point, his beautifull copper eyes, he ran his lips over her upper cheekbone, he had speant his time well, learning her inside and out, noing wat made her tick, wat made her ache, wat made her laugh, wat made her surrender, he new her better than she new herself, as she did him,
It only took a few seconds before she gave up, relaxed her body and leaned against his, his arm curled under her waist and snaked around her, holding on tightly, "Stop thinking about it," he wispered, she hated this, she didn't want to have this conversation, she didn't want to have it at all, she tried to avoid it, but if there was one thing that she had learned about him in the past year, it's that wen he wants something badly enough, it's his, there's no way to fight that, and she new very well that he was determined to talk her out of this state of mind, he had spent the last ten months trieing, she shook her head, she couldn't understand it, wat could someone like him possibly want with someone like her? Wat was she worth to him? Wat could she possibly be in his eyes? Perhaps he was just blinde, perhaps he couldn't see how dameged she was? Perhaps he had no clue wat she was capable of, "You're crazy, you no that don't you? I'm in love with a crazy person," she looked up at him, wide eyed, he was just stareing at the ceiling, he laughed fakely, "Imagine that, I gotta tell ya' Rukia, this would make one heck of a novel," she kept stareing, he finally looked down at her, "Rukia? You always talk about 'forbiden love' being romantic right? Wat makes something 'forbidden'?" she was caught completely off guard, she new in the back of her mind that this was all just part of some scheme to get her to talk, but, still..."Something is forbidden...wen one or more people of higher standerds say it is," Ichigo looked confused, "Is OUR love forbidden?" "In a way ....yes, it is,.... Soul Society dosen't care, not since you've made it ever so clear that you'll kill anyone and everyone that gets in your way, but....it's wrong, it's just wrong," Ichigo stood up, stretching a bit, "You are one determined little hypocrit, ya' no that?" Rukia's mouth dropped, "H-Hypocrit?! WERE did you get that?!" "Rukia, you just said it yourself, something is only forbidden wen one or more people says it is, Soul Society dosen't care, but YOU think this is wrong, yet you're upset because of it? You're just dancing around the real issue, YOU think it's wrong, YOU think it's forbidden, and a part of YOU dosen't want to be with me because you're scared, just admit it, that's the truth and you no it," Rukia looked down, hugging her nees to her chest again, "Hey," he nelt beside her, combing his fingers through her hair, "I'm not being mean or anything, I'm just saying, ...it's hard for me too, you say things like 'it's wrong' and 'it's fobiden', so I want to make it ok, I want to talk sense into the person that says it's wrong, because I want to make you happy, but how can I do that if you're the one tortureing yourself? Just tell me how I can do that and I'll leave you alone, I promise," Rukia bit down hard on her botttum lip, she wanted to cry, it was all true, so why hadn't she seen it before? "Just tell me wat you WANT, not wat you think is right, not wat you think about yourself, not wat anyone else says or thinks, tell me wat you WANT and we'll work through the rest tohether," "........You," she wispered, her teeth digging back into her lower lip, "Then we'll work through the rest together," he said, she bit down harder, causing blood to emerge, she didn't care, she was just confused, he cupped her face, and kissed her sweetly, his tounge lingering on the self-inflicted wound to lick the blood off, "Oh Honey, don't bite your lip! That's a horrible habit! Almost as bad as doubting yourself," she stared wide eyed, but then smiled softly, she understood, self-doubt isn't something that you can choose to do or not to do, it's an involentary action that just.....happens, due to years and years of it becomeing a habbit, and just like wen you bite your lip, wen you doubt yourself, you'll bleed, and Rukia didn't like to bleed
Rukia sat outside on the steps, she smiled at nothing in paticular, just smiled, stareing up at the sun, holding her chappy doll in one hand, Ichigo came up behind her and sat down, "Hey There Shortie, feeling better today?" he looked down at her, she looked up at him, smile still plastered on her face, "Wat do you think?"

"Pet" Issues

You wouldn't get this unless you watched "Alf" but here you go anyway ^^; http://asagi-k-kurosaki.deviantart.com/art/Pet-Issues-110137396

Kitty Kitty

"I'm going for a walk, bye Ichigo," Rukia stated walking out the door, "Don't take too long Midget," "Ok," an hour passed and Rukia still wasn't home, "Were is she?" Ichigo thought aloud, seeing that it was now raining, he grabbed an umbrella and left, meanwile....'I can't believe this happened! I can't believe some stupid hollow did this to me!' Rukia thought, greatly displeased, her tail swishing angerly wile she peered over the side of the box, 'Help me!' she pleaded
" Rukia!" Ichigo yelled, 'Ichigo!' Rukia meowed loudly, curiouse, Ichigo stepped next to the box to find a cat-a-fied Rukia meowing helplessly at him, his mouth dropped, "Rukia?!" she licked his face cutely "How did this happen!?!" "Horrow" she stated, both of them seemed to notice it at the same time, along with a tail, cat ears, fangs and claws, Rukia aparently had a new speech difficincy, as she sounded like a three year old, Ichigo bit his lip, "Shut up!" she hissed, her voice no longer a smoothe stream of silk, but now a high pitched chirp, "But your voice!" he laughed, she hissed at him, "And the box says 'Free to good home' by the way," he laughed, she hissed again, none the less, he picked her up and carried her home, curiouse to see if she would walk on all fours wen they got there....
An abudence of hisses, "rawrs" and more hisses emitted from the small creature, Ichigo was unphased as he tried to keep her in the bath and wash her hair at the same time, "Nooo!" she hissed again, "Rukia I don't care that cats hate water! You're filthy! You're covered in dirt and mud and I'm gonna get it off of you weather you like it or not!" "Nooooo!" she continued to hisss, kicking scrathing and clawing in an effort to escape, "Stop it!" Ichigo shouted, one hand grabing her rist (she had been trying to scratch him) the other quickly embeding shampoo in her hair, all the wile dodging the splashing water caused by her kicking, "Noooo!!!!" her hisses were becomeing more like desperate wines at this point, "Noooooo!!!!!!" she cried again, still kicking, Ichigo couldn't handle anymore of her wines, he finally made his decision, for the better of both their lives, he would take a life-threatening chance, and..... he flicked her ear, her struggles immediatly stopped and she looked at him with a shocked and hurt expression, no matter how much he hated that look, he continued to be stern with her, "No!" he commanded, " "That's wat you get for being a bad cat!" if he were to write down all the things he thought he would never ever say to Rukia, that would be in the very top, "Now behave!" he demanded, she wined a very long, very sad string wines but no longer resisted, "Jeez Rukia, you were a handfull as a Soul Reaper but you're ten times worse as a cat!" "Meanie!" she moaned, finding it more and more difficult to speak,
Ichigo pulled aside more of Rukia's hair to blow dry it, aparently cats don't mind hair dryers because Rukia was sitting calmly, wrapped in a towel and letting him dry her hair, as her tail swished contently, Ichigo finished off her hair and stood up, walking towards the closet, finding the only dress with a small slit up the back, (for her tail) he turned around to see her watching him intently with a broad smile on her face, ....and then she licked the back of her hand and brushed it against her ear, Ichigo simply shook his head, she was becomeing more cat-like by the second,
"Rukia!" he called, clicking his tounge (A/N: That's the way you call a cat) as expected she bounded towards him and sat down expectingly, her tail swishing and her face still grinning, Ichigo was still finding it difficult to remember that this was Rukia here, "Come 'ere," he commanded, obeying the order, she crawled forward and began purring, her tail swishing happily as she purred and rubbed against him, "Ok, that's very cute, but please stay still," he requested, strapping a strawberry-themed collar around her neck as she ignored the last request and continued her cute little show of affection, Ichigo buckled the collar and freely alowed her to continue, her purring vibrateing against him, he tried not to laugh, he realized that she wasn't exactly....well, right in her head at this moment, but she sure was cute!
Ichigo wasn't exactly sure about wat she was going to do wen he climbed in his bed and repeated the word "sleep" a few times, he finally saw her grin triumphantly and back up, thinking that she was on her way to the closet, he began to shut his eyes, wen he heard a loud "mew" and saw Rukia leap forawrd on top of him, he stared at her with wide eyes as she burrowed under the sheets and popped her head back out, curling into a small ball and purring on top of him, he let out an exasperated sigh, and gently began strokeing her hair, at first it was cute but now this cat thing was just irritateing! None the less, he rolled over on his side and pulled the young girl next to him, falling asleep, he found, was not as hard as he thought it would be
The next morning he resolved to take her to Urahara's and (hopefully) get her changed back, thing is, ...he had to use a map, sitting outside on a bench he tried to make sense of the directions, wen he heard a familiar, "Hey Ichigo!" He glanced behind him to see Keigo comeing towards them, Rukia leaped up instintivly and peered over the bench "Wat on earth?! Were did you find a hot chick with cat ears? And were can I get one?!" he asked, Rukia "mew"ed happily at the new face, Ichigo reached one hand over and petted her head to keep her still, though he didn't completely calm her curiosity, "She's my cat," he stated, still not takeing his eyes off the map, "That's NOT a cat!" Keigo yelled, "You're imagining things," he stated, tucking the map back in his pocket and grabbing the "kitten" Rukia squirmed slightly in his arms and she maneged to peer over his shoulder giveing another few happy "mews" to a stunned Keigo, and THAT is the most he would ever get,
"Rawr!" once again hisses, "rawrs" and unpleasent wines emitted from Rukia as she ran all over the shoten, trying to escape the people chaseing her, wich included, Ichigo and Urahara, Yoruichi ultimatly decided to stay curled on the floor laughing so much that her ribs hurt, "Come on Rukia!" Ichigo begged, still chaseing her, "It won't hurt I promise! It's just a little shot!" A paticuarly loud and menacing hiss slid through Rukia's lips and she simply ran further, leading them all in a circle untill Urahara decided to head her off, .....and Rukia decided to cling to the ceiling
"We're never getting a cat," Ichigo stated, Rukia nodded in agreement, "Cats are alot to take care of," Rukia glared at him, "Yeah well being a cat isn't exactly a treat either!" she replied coldly, "Yeah sorry about that, I no last night wasn't exactly pleasent," "Ahem," "Wat you got a hairball or somethin'?" "Hello?!" "Right sorry, I no this morning was way, way, worse than unpleasent," "Yes it was," "But that shot I gave you was painless right?" "That's beyond the point, it wasn't pleasent being chased around a house, then falling from the ceiling, only to have you pin me to the floor and jam a needle in my arm!" She shouted, all was quiet for a moment, "Ichigo," "Yeah?" "Wen we get married can we get a dog?" Ichigo dropped his manga and his mouth wile Rukia sat on the bed next to him and licked him playfully, "Meow," "That isn't funny," "Yes it is, meow," "No, it really isn't," "Yes it is~ Meow~!"

Chocolate Kisses

Rukia stared at the display, why must these rabbits haunt her so? Temptation was difficult to avoid...espically at this time of year! Oh how she wished the ideah of Chappy Boxers didn't completely apaul Ichigo! She espicallly wished that because Valentine's Day was a mere three days away, and she still had no clue as to wat she would get Ichigo! Untill this year she had never worried about such things, her brother hated sweets and wen she had finally acheived the financial copacity to buy chocolates, Renji and herself had hit a rock in their freindship and she had never been able to give him (or anyone else) chocolate, (though on Wite Day she recieved an aboundence of little expensive gifts from anonomus people wich confused her greatly) and now that she had someone as dear to her as Ichigo, she couldn't even contemplait not giveing him something! But she drew a blank on wat, she new wat he liked, certainly, but none of it was really....."Valentine's Day material", except chocolate ofcourse, but that seemed so impersonal! And it isn't like she had never thought of hand makeing him chocolate but....he had put these stupid locks on the oven that, for the life of her, she couldn't figure out! (A/N: Those, my dear readers, would be "child safety locks" ^_~) In other words that was completely ruled out, and she didn't want to risk contaminateing the sweets by useing Orihime's oven....she shuddered at the thought of wat that woman could have ever put in the metal contraption to churn out her...."creations" Rukia wasn't sure if it was the cold weather, or the thought of that oven, but something was sending shivers down her spine! She turned around to glance at a giant chocolate sculpture, how tacky! She stared at it for a moment though, and then a cord struck inside her head and the little gadgets inside her brain started to turn, she smiled triumphantly at her brilliant ideah, this would certainly be a success!
Rukia fidgeted impatiently as she waited on Ichigo's bed, said man was down stairs sampleing the chocolates his sisters had made, honestly, how could a couple of little girls figure out a lock that clearly dispised her?! Finally the door nob turned and Rukia jumped up, standing stifly in the middle of the room, eyes wide, Ichigo gave her a puzzled look, "Wat's with you? You look like you're about to be condemed to death!" those words settled in the air for a moment before Ichigo grasped the full meaning of his statement and despretly tried to retract it, "Th-that is NOT how I meant it! Really! I-" Rukia started to giggle, for a split second Ichigo thought she was makeing fun of him, but as he saw her small hand come over her chest in an attempt to stop her now, flat out laughter, he was just confused at why she suddenly thought that was funny, a crooked, confused grin remained plastered on his face for the remainder of her laughing fit, "Did you find yourself a jar of laughingh drugs or something?" he asked, still unable to wipe off his grin, after all, the mere sound of her bell-like laughter could cheer up someone on their death bed, he stayed with that thought for a moment before her choked words broke him out of it, "N-N-No!" she giggled, eyes teared and hands holding her ribs, she tried to stop laughing, finally succeeding, "It's just funny that you're always walking on egg shells about that and the one time you slip up you think it's the end of the world! Do you REALLY think I'm that sensitive?" "No, but my brused shins tend to disagree," she giggled slightly, before pulling a rather large box out from under his bed, "Open it," she demanded, mouth curved in a rather victoriouse smirk, "Something small and vicouse isn't going to leap out and attack me is it?" "No," she stated in a rather musical tone, as if she hadn't decided weather or not to laugh at that, Ichigo stood dazed for a moment, it all seemed to unwravel in front of him, only a matter of months ago she would've hit him for that, and ...he hated to think about it...but, at that time....it would've taken a mirical to make her laugh like that, "Hello! I wrapped that thing so you could shred it!" her nose twitched slightly, he woundered if it always did that wen she was P'ed, she growled and tore at a chunk of wrapping paper, "Hey! That's mine! I'll do it!" he gently plucked her hands off the box and she gave him a dull look, shredding the paper he uncovered.....a card board box, Rukia rolled her eyes and jammed a finger nail through the tape, completely sliceing open the top of the box, placeing the hand back on her hip, she motioned for him to continue, takeing a quick glance, he realized that her finger nail was still completely intact, hm, a new weapon, he opened the box none the less, he stared and the object inside looked like a guitar, pulling it out he realized that it was indeed a guitar, but, it was made of chocolate, ....and had strawberries on it....was she insulting him? "Do you like it?" she stared with wide grin, anticipateing his answer, obviously this wasn't a joke, "Ofcourse I do!" he replied, watching her grin widen and her eyes light up like fireworks, "Who wouldn't like...20 lbs. of chocolate shaped like a guitar with strawberries painted on it?" she shreiked slightly, "I NEW you'd like it! And think, I almost got you those Chappy Boxers..." "No no! I like this!" she grinned even more, "I figure it should last about a month," "Sure....if you multiply that by about 5,000" "But you like chocolate!" "Rukia, it's very nice, and I'll find something to do with it, but seriously, NOTHING could eat this much chocolate!" "Renji," Ichigo nodded slightly, she was right, the man's stomach was some sort of garbge disposel...."Well anyway, come on, I have something for you," "But it's not Wite Day yet!" "Who said it was a gift?" Ruikia shrugged and followed him
Rukia stared down at the dess, it was red and backless, it was a "halter-dress" it was nee-length and very sparkly, and there was a rose for her hair laying next to it, "Is this mine?" she asked in a confused tone, "No, it belongs to the neighnbor's dog, YES it's your's!" she stared at him blankly, "Why?" "Because you don't have anything fancy and Uryuu insisted I give it to you, he wanted to test some new fabric and used your measurments, good luck," and with that he stepped out of the room, truthfully he had SUGGESTED that Uryuu use Rukia's measurment for the new fabric test, surprisingly the quincy hadn't asked questions nor had he presented a catch, Ichigo was rather pleased with this,
Rukia shivered slightly, even though she had a rather heavy coat on, it was still very cold outside, she stared at Ichigo again, she had never seen him dressed like that, his black shirt was a "v-neck" and he looked very fancy dressed all in black, but it didn't look depressing at all, it looked rather....spiffy.....all that was left was to do something with that unruley orange hair of his...she reached her hand up, intinding to slick his hair back and maybe use a spell to keep it that way, but right wen she had her hand almost on his head, he opened the door to a fancy place and allowed her in, blushing, Rukia thought it was because he was stupid enough not to wear a jacket out there, she mentally brewed at the annoying fact that his hair still looked like a mess and she was powerless to change it without makeing a fool of herself, none the les, she sat down in the fancy resturaunt and tried tro ignore the mass of orange like she did every other day
This place was aparently ignorent of porportians, Rukia was starting to wounder if Ichigo was trying to make her fat by getting her some monsterouse "peice" (more like a mountain) of strawberry cheesecake, she really thought he was trying to spite her untill he somehow maneged to keep a straight face with no sighns of amusement for the next ten minutes, "By the way, that guitar was a joke, here's your real present," she stated, sliping her hand into her purse, "Is this as huge as the last one?" Rukia giggled, "No no, not at all," for a split second Ichigo thought she was about to kiss him, untill she tossed him a box and said, "Here," matter-of-facutualy, Ichigo didn't care wat was in that stupid little box, his ideah of a gift from Rukia was much better, atleast, he didn't care, untill he opened the box, "A watch?" he asked, pulling out a silver watch, "Yeah, it plays 'Dear Angel' as an alarm, cool huh?" she replied, head in her hands and looking bored, he immidiatly slid it on, "Read the note," she stated, "and by the way, watever I get on Wite Day better be ATLEAST three times as expensive, that thing cost me a bundle!" "Yeah, a bundle outta MY wallet right?" Rukia looked geunienly shocked, "No, I have Soul Society money that I got converted to Human World money, you and I are rich since the Aizan thing," "Then why are you always stealing MY wallet?!" "Kicks," she stated matter-of-factualy, Ichigo glared at her, his upper lip curling up slightly, untill he read the note, "I'm talking big bucks on MY gift," she stated, he looked up, shocked, the note read 'If you want me to kiss you, you better make the first move, Wimp! -Love Rukia,' "Can you....read my mind or something?" he was absolutely seriouse wen he asked her that, "As a matter of fact I can," "Liar, if that was true then you would've offered a long tine ago," Rukia shrugged, Ichigo leaned across the small table and took her chin in his index finger and thumb, "Stop smirking you little weasel," he commanded, placeing his lips over her's, and slideing a note forward, she slid it under her hand, the note read, 'I can read your mind too, don't worry, your Wite Day present will be good, you greedy little midget, -Love Ichigo'

A Modern Cinderella

(This takes place after FTB)
"Bye Ichigo! Be back in a few days!" Rukia chimed, makeing an attempt to leap out the window, but she noticed then that Ichigo had grabbed her rist, so she sighed and asked the question that she new she'd regret asking, "Wat?" "Well, Midget, wat part of 'You're never going to Soul Society without me again' don't you understand?" Rukia's mouth dropped slightly, "Wa- You were seriuose?! I thought you were just over-reacting because I came back slightly injured last time!" At that statement Ichigo was standing, glareing at her with obvouse anger, "'Slightly injured'? 'Slightly injured'?! You were way more than 'slightly injured' Rukia! Besides, I was about to make that a rule anyway, frankly I don't trust your brother not to kill and or marry you off wen I'm not looking," Rukia rolled her eyes, honestly, he was so overprotective! "Going alone is out of the question, Rukia," "And wat are yo going to do to stop me? Hm?" Ichigo grinned, "Two words: Pad locks" Rukia glared at him, "Let's not add lateness to my list of reasons to be disowned," and at that they were off, although frankly Ichigo thought that getting the Kuchikis to disown her would do more good than harm....
"You have to stay here," Rukia said simply, opening the door to her room in the Kuchiki manor, "Why?!" "Because I'm going shopping," "For wat?" "None of your buisness!" she shouted, "Wait...isn't tommorrow your birthday?" Rukia glared daggeres at him, "Yeah, so?" "Uh, um, well, never mind," and with that the door slammed shut, 'Tommorrow's her birthday, hm, Renji's probbably getting her a Chappy, so wat should I do?' he thought, and then it hit him like a ton of bricks, the perfect present!
Ichigo grinned, looking at the clock, admittedly he was a bit uneasy remembering that they were on their way to this big formal party, espically considering that he would be their as Rukia's personal guest and Byakuya had tried to "reason with her" and therefor get him banned, luckily for Ichigo it didn't work, aparently there was some sort of tradition that no one close to Rukia could see her before the party, and as he waited for her at the bottum of the large stair case, he had the sudden feeling that she wasn't paticuarly fond of this "rule" either, and then he heard the announcer call her name, he looked up and she was wearing the most beautifull kimono, it was pink with purple flowers and her hair was tied up with a small purple rose, "Wow," he wispered, "Wow wat?" "Agh!" Wen had she stepped next to him....? She tilted her head, "Wat's WITH you?" she aasked, "Um, nothing," he followed her to a less crowded area of the ball room, "These parties are so boreing, I wish I could just celebrate my own way," Ichigo grinned, "Then...let's leave wile they're distracted," he wispered, Rukia smiled, "And were would we go?" "I have an ideah,"
"So do you no how to ice skate?" Rukia rolled her eyes, sitting on a wooden bench near a frozen pound, "Ofcourse I do!" Ichigo grinned, "By the way, here's part one of your gift," he handed her a pink box and she looked at him questioningly, "Part one?" "Yep, there are two," Rukia shook her head slowly, opening the box, and wen she saw its contents, a complete look of shock came over her, "Are these....?" she wispered, pulling out a pair of the most beautifull slippers she had ever seen, "Are these....glass?" she wispered, Ichigo nodded slowly, "Do you realize how hard it is to find glass slippers?" she smirked, "These are just for show right?" "No, you can wear them, and by the way, look on the bottum," she turned one of the shoes over, and her mouth dropped, "Are these...ice skates?" Ichigo smirked, "And finding glass ice skates is even nmore difficult," there was a small blade on the bottum of the slippers, but they were quickly out of her grasp and resting in Ichigo's hands, he smirked, neeling before her and slideing her ice skates on (she had already taken off her sandals) he smiled at her, "So are you ready to ice skate?" "Yes, but it looks like someone beat us to it," she said simply, "Oh, well let's go to the other side of the pound then," he took her hand and they walked up the path and over the small bridge, wen Ichigo stopped, "I think there's something written in the ice," Rukia looked over the side of the bridge, and the words "Marry Me Rukia" were etched in the frozen pound, she swished around to see Ichigo neeling before her, ring in hand, "Marry me Rukia," he said, Rukia smiled, took the ring, and wispered, "Ofcourse," before kissing him lightly on his lips, she truley felt like a modern Cinderella, "Happy birthday, Rukia,"
