After a hour of water play Ruki and Rukia finally left the navy waves of the waterfall's pool and sat in the setting sun to dry. Orihime brought the group excluding Rukia, Her brother and Ichigo over to her. “Pst, guys I have a feeling the princess needs more fun, Kurosaki-Dono is perfect for the job right?” Everyone looked at each other and shrugged. “Hai…” Orihime smiled. “Alright we needed to work together to get those two together. I met a girl in the forest who can help!” She moved and a stunning girl stood behind her. She was short but taller then Rukia, her hair was ebonite black and fell down her back in cascades. Her eyes were a stunning emerald and she had a appearance of kindness. Like she was a forest elf or something. “Konnichiwa… My name is Artist Hirokuma… Do not group me with Nii-Dono…” She added the end with worry.
The group welcomed her and told her what her job was… Charm the cold blossom prince who was about to kill his sister and her knight for acting so out of principle. She was quickly pulled out of her clothes by Orihime given a spare dress, and with her appearance thrown together pushed her towards the cold man. “Ano… Konnichiwa Bya-Sama…” She had a way of nicknaming people… Like another shinigami we all know. The man looked up and gave a startled jump. “What?” She asked innocently. Orihime had done a horrible job on her make-up and the boys were to kind to tell either girl that their job was horrible.
Byakuya could only give her a glare before leading her to the waters edge. Looking at her appearance she started to panic. “Ahhh I look like I've been stuck by plague!” It was true she had to much power, the lip paint was off the line making them look bloody, and Orihime heard about the mole adding to appearance so more must add more appearance… So she looked horrible.
Byakuya took out a cloth and handed it to her. She dipped it in the water and started to wash her face. However she missed many places making her look even worse, smudging places and leaving other places clean. Sighing with exasperation he took the cloth and started to help her. Orihime and the group grinned and started to work on Rukia and Ichigo who had fallen asleep under the sun, which surprisingly hadn't gone down yet.
Orihime noticed both were out cold… Aha! That was it they must both be cold… With Uryu's help she placed the two under a tree. Ichigo who had something placed in his arms hugged it to his chest while asleep and Rukia feeling the warmth from a source less harsh then the sun snuggled towards it. Both having nooooo clue what they were hugging/snuggling.
***Reality***
Ichigo was forced to go to school by his father. “I can care for her, all she is doing is sleeping anyways.” Ichigo finally went to school after making sure Yuzu would keep an eye on Rukia for him seeing she got home earlier then he did.
“Kurosaki-Kun!” Orihime said as he stepped into the class, from what he said on the phone she waited for Kuchiki-San to walk in but she didn't which was a bit surprising. Everyone asked Ichigo where she was and he simply replied. “Out sick…” Everyone seemed to leave him alone at that. And class started… Where the hell were hollows when you needed them.
***Sleep, My Darkling Sleeeeeep***
Waking up Rukia struggled to get up. She felt warm but wondered why her body wouldn't let her get up. She then felt someone shift under her and sat herself staring straight at someone's chest… A male chest… A strawberry's male chest, screaming she pushed herself out of his grasp trying to get away in surprise and shock. The guilty group watch from afar to watch for reactions. Ichigo was slow to awaken hearing a scream. Noticing Rukia he frowned. “What the hell as you doing on me? She screamed back near hysterics “What are you doing holding me!”
At that resort he blushed and let her go. “Get off!” He said roughly as she jumped back and fixed her wrinkled dress. Orihime jumped out of the bushes. She had excited look on her face. “Is it true?” Rukia looked confused. “True? What are you talking about?” Orihime grinned and pointed towards Ichigo who was stretching. “That you like Sir Knight Kurosaki?!” She said with a excited smile. Rukia looked at her dumbfounded.
Ichigo simply hid his growing blush and grabbed Orihime by the shoulders and spun her around so she faced the way she came. “No it isn't true stop spreading rumors… And tell everyone to get out of that bush and spy on someone else!” He said as he let go of Orihime and stormed off. Rukia still tired and now confused just followed after him. Wondering what the hell would be so bad about that… It was only a dream why not fool around a bit.
“Ichigo! Wait up!” The boy slowed down enough for her to caught up but didn't stop. He still was fighting a blush that Orihime and the rest of them had decided to force upon him. “Nani!” He bored on yelling in his own hysterics. Rukia flinched slightly but answered “Sorry… Didn't mean for them to cause any trouble.” He turned around and scratched his head. “No sorry I'm in a bad mood… I don't like waking up to be made fun of.” Rukia smiled, “Who does?” He shrugged a smirk on his face. “No one I guess.”
Rukia sighed as she started to walk around the large body of water the waterfall produced. By now the sun was down and the moon had risen. It gave a celestial glow to everything making it seem almost heavenly… Figures in dreams everything happens to do that… Like a corny romance novel, to bad it couldn't be less cheesy… She wasn't really complaining though.
For some reason she decided to play up her dream… This would be an interesting way to see if it was real or not. It wasn't like she really cared about any romance but it would be amusing and it was her dream after all. She turned and looked at Ichigo with a real smile, not one of her bittersweet schoolgirl ones and tilted her head. “I had a test I wanted to perform care to help me out?” Ichigo frowned but shrugged without real passion. “Sure whateve-“ Before he could finish Rukia had thrown her arms around his neck to help her gain height and kissed him. Ichigo stunned stood frozen but started to kiss back, much to Rukia's delight. Letting go and landing with a silent thump she touched her lips. It feels real… Hmm I wonder if I'm really in this. “Wow you do taste like your namesake…” Ichigo blushed and then scowled. “Whatever.”
***Real World***
Ichigo heard Rukia talking to herself again. He fed into it, playing along for his own personal amusement. If he couldn't argue with her awake he might as well have some sort of contact. As much as it annoyed him to admit… That he would, it missed Rukia's complains and annoying obvious questions. He heard her ask if she could perform a test and needed his help. He really didn't care. “Sure whatever-“ Just like in the dream Rukia actually rose out of bed and locked lips with the real Ichigo figuring it was all in her dreams. With her comment about him tasting like his namesake he snapped out of his stunned state of mind and stammered “W-w-whatever…” He then scratching his head quickly without running left his room freaked out.
