A/N: Heya! Long time, no update, eh? I feel so so sad when I just put my fanfic on hold. I will try not to do that again. :3 Please forgive me!

Anyways, I wouldn't have done that if I didn't have a reason. So, here's CHAPTER 8. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 8: Arguments

What will Nii-sama tell me now!

"Mmmm...", Ichigo mumbled as he moved, feeling more comfortable. He felt someone snuggling to him. So small... At the moment, Rukia was snuggling close, too close to Ichigo's body. Neither knew what was happening at the moment.

aa KAMI-SAMA onegai
futari dake no Dream Time kudasai
o-ki ni iri no usa-chan daite kon'ya mo OYASUMI
(Ah, God please

Grant us some Dreamy Time, just the two of us together

I go cuddle my fave bunny plushie and say goodnight)

There goes the alarm tone of Rukia's cellphone, "Light and Fluffy Time" from the anime called K-on!. She had loves the song because of the bunny part. Ahh, she really is an avid fan of bunnies. With that, Rukia opened her eyes slowly, scanning the place around her. She saw white in front of her. And when she looked up, she saw a tangy, orange mass of something. Weird, Chappy doesn't have orange fur.. Nor does it have White and orange combination of fur!

And with that, she heard someone snoring. Not that loud, but not too quietly either to not be heard.

She sat up, and rubbed her eyes with her hands. Again, she looked on the "something" that was beside her when she woke up.

"Ichigo!," she whispered. So, it had not been a dream after all. Everything that happened to her, to them, last night, all came back to her mind. Crystal clear, she remembered how she let her guard down, again and let someone see her cry. And it's been only a person who saw it all. Ichigo.

She looked at the side of the bed and saw the bowl of porridge she was about to give Ichigo but the strawberry didn't eat at all! Damn, if Nii-sama knows about this!

She stood up quickly and went to get the stupid bowl of porridge that the orange-headed idiot didn't even taste. She went to the kitchen and saw only a couple of maids who were busily doing their jobs at such an early hour. She put the bowl on the sink and went back to her room. It's Sunday today. And it's still too early to wake up. It's only 4 in the morning, and the cellphone just had to ring at this time. Right, I forgot to change the settings last night…

She went to her bed and sat there. A little too far from Ichigo. Rukia was careful not to wake him up and she just sat there, looking at the wall. She felt her eyelids becoming heavier, and not after a long time, she, too already had her eyes closed. At that time, Ichigo moved his way closer to Rukia and his arms were soon wrapped around her waist, of course, without him knowing.

If someone would be there and see them, the person would probably picture an image of a couple, sleeping peacefully.

Velonica woke up, feeling something uncomfortable. She went out of the guest room and went to the bathroom. On the way, she passed Rukia's bedroom. She touched the door knob gently, to see if it was locked or not. It wasn't. With half-closed eyes, she opened the door quietly and peeked inside. In front of the door was a bed. A big and fluffy bed, as she put it. And on the bed was a figure of two persons. And you know who they are.

She touched her pocket, searching for her cell phone. She had changed to a pair of shorts with pockets and a light-colored, sleeveless blouse. Lucky!, she thought. By now, both her eyes were opened fully because of the excitement that she was feeling now. She reached for her cell phone and began to focus on Rukia and Ichigo as their image were now seen on Velonica's cellphone screen.

1, 2, 3, click! A picture of the two was now saved in her gadget. Perfect!

Yet, she felt her abdomen hurt and that's it, she hurriedly closed Rukia's door resulting to a loud "Bam!" and went straight to the bathroom.

The light had sneaked its way through the window glass and somehow, the light made its way to Ichigo's face. He was snoring and his mouth was hanging open slightly. As if on impulse, his snoring stopped, he scrunched his eyebrows and tried to open his eyes. When he did so, the yellow gleam of bright sunlight was what greeted him. He brought his hand to his face and felt his arm a little bit sore when he felt something weighing on it. He saw Rukia's dark hair and her perfect features. He took his time looking at her when Rukia opened her eyes, blinded by the sunlight as she covered her eyes with her hands.

"Rukia," Ichigo said quietly. She stood up abruptly upon hearing his voice.

"Ichigo! S-sorry for sleeping beside you. It must have been difficult for you since I move a lot when sleeping! And-," before she can continue, Ichigo claimed her lips, kissing her lightly, gently. Too mushy for someone of Ichigo's likes.

Rukia blushed hard and began to kiss him back. His arms sneaked around her, putting her in an embrace she can never forget.

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Byakuya and Velonica, singing happily for the two. Rukia looked up and as she saw the two, she can't help but say "WHAT THE HELL?" aloud.

"Gah!," she woke up from her dream and felt someone looking at her. She looked at her side, and saw Ichigo gazing at her confusedly.

"Are you alright?," he asked.

"Y-yeah! I'm alright, just a freakin' dream, after all,"

"Oh," came his short reply.

"What time is it?," she heard him ask. She searched for her table clock-picture frame and read 9:30.

"It's 9:30, Ichigo. Anyway, are you feeling well now?," She reached up to Ichigo's forehead and touched it. "Yep, no sign of fever at all."

"Thanks," he muttered. Rukia was confused. "What?,"

"I said thanks. Thanks for taking care of me… and thanks for .. for listening to me last night,"

Silence filled the room.

"No problem," she replied.

"I am telling you the truth, Byakuya!," Velonica cried as she continuously tried to get Byakuya's attention by hovering her cell phone in front of his face. But all the while, he just closed his eyes.

"Byakuya! Just look at this! Please, please, please!,"

He opened his eyes just to see her pleading 'puppy eyes". "Alright."

She grinned widely as Byakuya looked at her cell phone. She knew that the two, Rukia and Ichigo are fated for each other.

"So, what's your point?," Byakuya asked flatly. She looked up at him. "You're impossible! Don't you get it? They're made for each other!,"

"Hnn.. We also had that moment once. Or twice. Instead, you left me and came back many years later," as he said that, he faced the window, not letting Velonica see his face. They were in Byakuya's office. Velonica stood up from her sitting position. She was about to go to Byakuya and take a good look at his face when -

"Don't ever think you can make me feel better now."

"Ichigo! We haven't eaten breakfast yet!," Rukia almost shouted after they finished fixing her bed. Folding the sheets were hard for Rukia since the blankets were super thick and she's glad Ichigo's there to help her.

"Crap. I still have to go home. That idiotic father of mine would think about something that's out-of-this world,"

"How about you eat here first and I'll ask someone to take you home?,"

"No, it's alright. I can go home alone. And I'll just eat at home,"

"Ichigo! Don't be stubborn! Nii-sama will get angry with me if you do that! He will think I'm treating you cruelly!,"

"Shut up, noisy midget! I really have to go home!,"

"The heck! I'm not a midget! You giant strawberry!,"

"Damn it midget, just shut up already. You're so noisy!,"

"You shut up first, you stupid snoring-orange-head!,"

"What? I don't snore! Maybe you do!,"

"You DO snore! And too loudly, I say! I can't even get a good sleep without hearing your snores and your mouth was hanging open WIDE all the time!,"

"What the eff are you talking about midget?,"

A servant was passing by Rukia's bedroom after cleaning the bathroom and heard voices inside the bedroom. She stopped and listened.

"Well, don't you have any more comebacks aside from midget?,"

"Aghh. You're just too stubborn! Shut the hell up weird bangs!,"

"Go kill yourself! My hairstyle is just natural, unlike someone who look like they dyed it out with some ugly hue of orange!,"

I've never heard Rukia-sama as energetic as this before. The servant smiled to herself before walking along the corridors to continue her tasks.

A/N: Well, it was a rather short chapter but I will try to write another one tomorrow and post it as soon as possible.

And please leave some reviews! Thanks~!
