Right then... disclaimer... um... oh yeah! Bleach isn't mine it's owned by Tite Kubo-sama. Only this fan fic. is mine which is minimal compared to what Kubo-sama has. So enjoy! Sorry for any spelling and/or grammatical errors.

"Onii-san! Rukia-san! Diner is ready!" Yuzu's sweet voice sailed out from her place in the kitchen up to the room of a certain orange haired older brother.

"Ah! I in a sec Yuzu!" came the gruff reply of the said older brother.

Situating the book he was previously reading on top of his bed he stood up and started to head downstairs to where his food graciously awaits him. Halting on his way out the door he abruptly turned around and glanced at the short black-haired girl whom in turn was staring fixedly on the laptop in front of her, acting as if she didn't hear anything.

Furrowing his eyebrows Ichigo leaned on the doorframe while glaring at the back of Rukia's head."Oi! Didn't you hear? Diner's ready! So get your skinny ass down there before goat-chin makes a scene!"

Rukia mumbled something between gritted teethes while furiously tapping at the small mouse. It was a miracle that it was still in one piece.

Treating her mumble as an affirmative reply he turned around and started to head downstairs to where his family was. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he was instantly thrown back as something hard hit his cheeks. Ignoring the stinging burn on his cheeks he looked up to see non-other than his father with an idiotic grin plastered on his face.

"Your guard was down Ichi-" Ishiin was unable to finish his sentence as he was sent spiraling back from the impact of Ichigo's kick to his face. "Damn insane goat-chin!" Ichigo angrily muttered under his breath followed by a long string of curses.

"Ichi-nii where's Rukia-san?" Karin calmly asked while scooping rice into her bowl acting as if nothing happened between her brother and father.

Ichigo sent a glare at his father, who was currently being nursed by caring little Yuzu, before turning around to answer Karin. "She'll be down in a second…" He glanced back at the crumpled form of Ishiin. Think I over did it this time? I guess I should help him up… Wait what?! He unceremoniously shook his head to get the ridiculous thought out of his mind. "So what's for dinner? Smells- " he was cut short as an unpleasant scream reached his ears.

Wincing from the sound, he scowled up the stairs then looked back at his family. "I'll… uh… she must've seen a spider or something… I'll go check it out." Swiveling around he rushed up the stairs as quick as his feet could carry him. Once he reached his door he instinctively searched around the room for anything unusual before his eyes finally settled at the form of the petite female.

"Rukia! What the hell happened? Why'd you scream?"

Rukia, hearing the familiar voice of her closest companion, spun around and looked teary eyed at Ichigo. "Ichigo… the… they… ah… my brain…"

Ichigo, not understanding what Rukia was trying to tell him, merely looked at her questioningly. "Your what?"

"My brain Ichigo!" She accusingly pointed at the laptop monitor as if it stole something from her. "The zombies ate my brain..."

"The… Wait did you just say zombies?" Making his way over to his laptop he motion for Rukia to step aside so he could take a look at the monitor. There it was written in, what he supposed looked a lot like, green gunk that somehow resembled slime from the sewage 'The zombies ate your brains!'

Ichigo blinked once, twice.

"… Are you serious? Are you freakin' serious." He manage to get out through clenched teeth.

He spun around to face Rukia and then pointed at the laptop. "You screamed because you lost to a game?! For the love of-"

"But - but the zombies ate my brain! And if zombies are out to eat your brain people would naturally shout! " Rukia retorted.

"It's just a game! Besides zombies aren't real! If zombies are real they wouldn't waist their time on you. I mean do you even have a brain?" That did it.

A few minutes later…

Rukia finally came down from upstairs and was met by the questioning looks of Ichigo's family. "I'm sorry, a cockroach just suddenly flew by and scared me." she simple stated as if she read their minds, and then proceeded to sit down with the Kurosaki's.

"mm… Yuzu this is absolutely delicious! You're such a wonderful cook!"

A small blush slowly showed on Yuzu's face "Aw… it's not that hard to make. Ah, I know! Rukia-chan, if you'd like I'd love to teach you how to make one!" Yuzu enthusiastically proposed in which Rukia gaily agreed.

"By the way Rukia-chan, where is my no good son?" Ishiin asked in between bites. "Ah, Ichigo's tied up at the moment. He said he'll eat a little later, and not to worry about anything." she responded smiling one of those infamous innocent smile she has.

Upstairs in Ichigo's room…

On the bed tied up in ropes, who knows where those came from, and silenced by a handkerchief tied around his mouth was non-other than Ichigo, trying and failing at unwinding the ropes wrapped around his body.

Well that's the end. My failed attempt at doing something romantic for Ichiruki. *sigh* I just can't see Ichigo being all lovie dovy with Rukia in this fic. Ah well…

Anyway I got the idea from a friend, she told me about how obsessed she was with playing plants vs. zombies she one time practically screeched at her mother that "zombies were gonna get her brains"

Anyway that's the end of this short fan fic.

Somehow I can't shake the feeling that I forgot someone… ._.
