A Forgotten Four Letter Word

Bleach Fan fiction: Couple: Rukia and Ichigo

Warning: Rated mature! There will be some cursing and sexual content. Might be ooc and fluffy at times.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of its characters. Tite Kubo does! If I did Rukia and Ichigo would definitely be together in the full bringer arc and on the path to third base! Lol Anyhow here is chapter one! Summary: It takes place after the war with Aizen, which Ichigo won but lost his powers. It's about 17 months later. The story will mostly be in Rukia's point of view, at times others; you will know when that happens.

"I cannot believe it Renji, finally we're here"!

"I know Ruks".

Renji calls her that.

"Let's get going come on move it".

He starts pulling her but she barely moves and her brow's tense.

"What's going on"?

"I'm afraid".

"Of what"?

"Seeing him, seeing everyone, the hurt expression I can see already".

"Once they all hear how it was out of our hands, they'll understand".

He turns around to face her, hair is blowing in the wind and reaches her mid back straight, same bang that parts her forehead, Renji's the same red hair but shorter, a little past shoulder length, completely straight sometimes covering either side of his eyes when he looks down.

"The Ruks I know which has been dying to be here will not cower".

"You're right".

She takes a deep breath then exhales.

"Let's get our gigai's"!

They reach Urahara's and pick up their Gigia's and pick out some close. Renji is wearing black skinny jean's that start below his hip's not too tight, black and white converse, a black tight t-shirt with a woman's mouth taking a bite out of a bleeding heart in the middle picks up a dark grey thin material zipper hoodie and puts it on. Rukia was contemplating a dress instead of jeans, then it so happenes she found the perfect item to wear, she smiles whole heartedly, it is a v-shape flower print summer dress with a braided hem tie at the back of the neck, amazing rhinestone, venetian pearl and ruffles embroidered empired waist Stretch elastic shirring section across Waist for a perfect fit, some of the flower patterns were yellow others pink and amber. She smiles and closes her eyes thinking to herself the color of Ichigo's eyes. Her wedges are not very high and are comfortable.

"Rukia-Chan you look amazing"!

She turnes red as all but Renji gawk at her especially Urahara who first made the statement, Tessai is also present. Jinta and Ururu who both grew a little in height and weight are there too.

"I wonder where Yoruichi is".

Urahara hides his smile behind the famous fan, everyone laughs.

"There was no need for that Renji".

"Just saying..."

Renji smiles at him.

"Well she is not here moocher"!

Renji glares at him as it's his turn for everyone to laugh at, clearing his throat he heads to the door.

"Ruks it's time to go".

"Okay Renji, thanks again Urahara for giving us all of this for free".

Removing the fan from his serious face…

"I owe you more than this Rukia-chan".

They both smile.

Anyhow Tessai will take you by car to where the gang is at right now".

Rukia and Renji head out to the car.

"Why didn't you tell them the gang went hiking, she's over dressed he looks like a crazed blood lust vampire, they will stick out like a sore thumb".

"Well ururu the moocher deserves it and she needs to look beautiful for the fight".

"Oh I get it now"!

Jinta rubs his head not understanding what Urahara and Uruu were implying about Rukia's personal fight.

"Wearing a dress for a fight"?

Urahara hits him with the fan.

"You're a clueless idiot".

During the car ride Rukia and Tessai are having a short discussion.

"So basically some of his powers have returned like we thought".

She smirks.

"You didn't believe us"?

"Not you Tessai but Urahara".

He smiles at her from the rear view mirror Renji at her side.

"He's not a great source of truth and Yoruichi tends to bend the truth slightly".

She starts to fidget with her dress.

"Still feeling nervous I see".

"Can't help it something feels funny inside of me I'm trying to push it back".

"Don't worry you look amazing that dress brings out your violet eyes".

She blushes.

"Thanks Renji".

Renji is looking out the window thinking 'he better not reject you'.

"Hey how far are we going old man"?

Rukia elbows him.

"Won't be that long now Mr. Moocher".

"It looks like we're heading to the outskirts of Karakura".

"Well Kuchiki-San the gang is camping".

Both turn and look at each other then at Tessai.

Both say it at the same time…

"WHAT"!

"Great…mister Strawberry won't let me live this down".

"Hey that's my name for him"!

She blushes and quickly turns away Renji smiles and teases her using a girlie voice.

"Oh Mr. Strawberry do you like my dress"?

Rukia quickly kicks him in the shin he yelps loud.

"That will help you get your voice back".

She's holding an evil grin as he cringes.

"Okay I'll stop!Such force for a little person".

She kicks him again he yelps louder and moves completely to the other side and whimpers, Tessai clears his throat.

"We're here you two. I will wait here awhile for you just in case you decide to leave".

Renji looks up at him.

"Why would we need to leave"?

"Leave him alone Renji he's just being nice".

Rukia gets out of the car Renji follows.

"Thanks Tessai".

"Anytime Kuchiki-San".

"Ruks I think I hear Orihime".

"Me too".

They head off in that direction.

"The stars are beautiful here unlike soul society".

Rukia say's looking up.

"I agree, how do you feel now"?

"I'm okay; it's been so long I wonder how Strawberry is getting his powers back".

"Well the reaper with the devils grin won't say a word".

She turns to look at him.

"Do you spend your time thinking of names for people"?

She smirks.

"Maybe…"

"Make sure they can't feel your spiritual pressure dummy".

"I know".

She puts that fake sweet high school face Ichigo hates on.

"I want to scare them".

They start tiptoeing as they get closer hiding behind the bushes in the dark. The party being observed doesn't notice. What Rukia and Renji hear holds them still.

"I mean it Orihime. Without you, I don't know where I would be right now whether it would be locked in my room sulking, training or not enjoying this amazing sky".

As they get closer Rukia loses her breath to what she sees. Ichigo who is as tall as when he transformed into the final Getsuga Tenshō, same hair as when he transformed just a little longer, a little more slender muscles but they still look defined, white sleeveless snug shirt hugging his blissful abs, khaki camouflage cargo shorts starts below his belly button and stop mid calf kind of loose fitting with brown hiking boots. Orihime's hair is longer and fuller,wavy longer bangs almost covering her right eye, the hair clip is hidden, she is wearing a cream colored drawstring cargo crops, with a white tight t-shirt that says allyou need is love in the middle in pink letters and of course her lovelies are present as always, brown hiking boots as well, she is also wearing Ichigo's thin material zipper hoodie that matches his shorts. Orihime is hugging Ichigo from behind, her arms are holding his chest tightly, his right arm covers hers, his eyes set to the night sky, and her face is pressed into his back.

"I'm glad Kurosaki-kun".

"What did I tell you? Say it with me".

She blushes as they do it together meanwhile Renji grabs one of Rukia's hands to steady them as they are shaking.

"I -chi –go".

Chad walks behind Renji and Rukia and drops a bag that has some fruits inside. Ichigo and Orihime hear the bag fall and turn to look in that direction finally noticing Renji and Rukia.

Author's note: I will not get into dress wear too much for side characters like Chad, Uryu, Urahara's group, Ichigo's friends or family. Bare with me, it's my first story here =)
