forbidden fruit : romance unfolds ( ichigo x unohana)

Chapter 6 : confession black sun and white moon

Ichigo has always had a sense of gratitude to Rukia KUCHIKI, how she appeared out of nowhere and changed his life forever . she gave him the powers to fight and defend himself , his family and most of all his pride as a person that day . Ichigo would be internally destroyed as he still cant forgive himself for the death of his mother . this always acts like a base for their relationship, but it was about to change .

Ichigo has felt a lot of things happiness, anger ,sadness , betrayal but nothing could describe what he was feeling these days . heart racing and beating fast , sudden interest in flowers , dramatic mood swings, Ichigo had no idea " what is this damn feeling ? its pretty weird . maybe I am coming down with a virus or something ." this only happened whenever he thought about rukia .

Ichigo lays his head on the bed " I think a nap should do it ." and slowly drifts to sleep .

THE NEXT DAY

Ichigo opened his eyes it was all hazy " huh how long did I sleep , must have dosed off ." Ichigo looks at the clock and screams " HOLY CRAP I AM SOOO LATE FOR CLASS." He took a shower , got dressed in a hurry and went downstairs . yuzu saw Ichigo and greeted him " good morning big brother you sure look messed up today ." Ichigo gives a smile " morning , sorry yuzu have to dash I cant eat breakfast I am late to class ." Karin steps in front of the door "what classes ichi nii ? it your day off dummy ." just then Ichigo sees the calendar " oh right I forgot , sorry Karin ." Karin laughs " pay a little attention will you , geez. Now eat your breakfast will you ?"

"No I am not that hungry , I will pass on the offer ."

Yuzu pulled his ear " no you will not skip your meals , eat up"

Ichigo said in defense " its okay yuzu I am not hungry."

Yuzu taking a knife in her hand gives him a glare that sends shivers down his spine " you will eat or I will make fillets out of you ,got it mister."

Ichigo nods and eats the food " thank you for the food ."

Yuzu has a chat with Karin when Ichigo goes to work " hey Karin Ichigo has been acting weirdly for a past couple of days you noticed ?"

Karin looked at her " actually yeah I have , he is not acting like he normally would that's for sure."

I know right. Something up with him maybe he is sick or something?"

Karin raised an eyebrow " you tell me what sickness makes you act crazy way early in the morning . do let me know when you find out ."

Yuzu thought hard " can it be -? No I am not thinking straight ."

"What is it yuzu , tell me." Karin took a sip of juice out of a can .

Yuzu spoke " could it be Ichigo is in love with some one ?"

Karin chocked on her on her drink . " I think you have to get your head examined yuzu , there is no way Ichigo is love sick . he doesn't show any signs of liking any women ."

Yuzu gave Karin a wink " our brother dear is kind of in that age range where he might fall for the ladies , you know ."

Karin blinked " you completely lost me there sis." Though the thought of Ichigo falling in love with someone was not far fetched . " even if for a moment we assume that is happening what are the chances any girl will date him."

Yuzu wondered " the girl I think of is Orehime nee chan that fits that category ."

Karin sipped her juice " Orehime inoue the girl in Ichi nii class , now that you mention it she does act weird around him as if she is fond of him ."

Yuzu started daydreaming " it would be ideal of them ending up together , don't you think Karin."

" yeah both of them are blockheads when it comes to love I guess , one is overassertive but not making a move ( Orehime ) and the other is not getting the ques being passed to thwm and is oblivious ( Ichigo )." Both the girls start giggling .

Yoruichi , soifon , nemu ,nanao, Rukia , rangaku , Renji , Orehime , Ichigo , chad , Uryuu all decided to head to the beach . ALL the girls were having fun chad and Uryuu making lunch for everyone , yoruichi and soifon went swimming and hunting fish . Rest of the girls were playing strip poker for some reason or the other . but Ichigo was distracted by a site he will never forget Rukia was in a bikini that complimented her body type quite well , her sweat glistened her skin ( made it look shiny basically). Ichigo was just standing there looking in aww at Rukia " Rukia is looking gorgeous today , should I approach her or no." he couldn't believe his eyes that this was the same soul reaper that he has fought countless battles with in a two piece bikini that just outlines her curves .

"are you just going to stand there gawking at me all the time we are here." Rukia calls out to him seeing him either staring at her or checking her out . Ichigo blushed " sorry didn't mean to stare , forgive me." Rukia gives a sly grin " you were staring at me , pervert ."

Ichigo goes into complete denial mode " no I am a gentleman I would never do such a thing . well maybe , I don't know ."

Rukia was blushing " well what do you think ? do I look good in this swimsuit?" Ichigo cleared his throat " you look great Rukia, stunning actually . I couldn't take my eyes of you ."

Rukia smiled " thanks Ichigo , that really nice of you to say ." Ichigo couldn't take it anymore , he decided to speak his mind " Rukia cane we talk for a sec ."

Rukia was now puzzled by tone shift of his voice " umm okay what do you want to talk about ?"

Ichigo shook his head " not here come with me."

They went quite far behind a rock , Rukia now asked him " what's this about Ichigo ?"

Ichigo started to speak " Rukia thanks for being there for me , because of you my life changed for ever , because of you now I have power to protect the ones I care for ."

Rukia held his hand " you know I am here always , by your side ." Ichigo griped her hand tightly " but now we cant be friends anymore ,the understanding between us has changed a lot , I am sorry I cant see your as my friend anymore." This was a shock to Rukia as she always thought no matter what they will share a common bond with each other " oh ,I see so you mean to say we part ways from here yes?"

With tears in her eyes thinking that this will be the last time she sees Ichigo bids him luck and is going to leave . Ichigo stops her " I said I cant see you as a friend anymore , but I didn't ask you to leave ."

Rukia looked at him " what do you mean , Ichigo?'

Ichigo finally voiced his feelings " its simple really I LOVE YOU ."

Rukia was generally surprised she never expected Ichigo to compliment her . she thought he was not able to talk to girls at all beyond the grounds of friend ship .

" I AM SORRY ICHIGO BUT NO I CANT ACCEPT . you are a great person Ichigo , I really good guy icant accept because I am not that worthy to be with you , you broke a lot of rules set by the soul society just to save me . I csnt thank you enough for that and I will stay by your side but not as your partner for li -"

Ichigo pulled her closer to him and kissed her . the kiss of pure passion lasted for almost 5 min .

Ichigo then spoke to her " our bond is way stronger than that Rukia . I don't care about people or the soul society I just want to be with you ."

Rukia face was fully red at this point and hugged Ichigo. While this was going on the rest of the gang had followed them and was staring in aww .
