I went back to this, thought "HOW COULD I FORGET ISSHIN?!" and added this chapter. This is now a two-shot, and will most likely stay a two-shot.

Once again, I don't own Bleach (wish I did), but I did write the poem. It's actually an IchiRuki poem if youlook at it from Ichigo's POV.


I would give anything to see you once more,

To hear your voice,

To know you are there,

But you are lost to me until I die.

Faded away,

Like you never existed.

I know that,

In Heaven,

Every time you look to the sun,

You'll think of me.

Just as every time I look to the moon,

I will think of you.


"GOOOOOOD MORNING, ICHI—" Isshin fell quiet as the scene before him actually processed.

His third daughter—Rukia—was lying in his stupid son's arms, who was holding her protectively. They looked so sweet, lying asleep in bed together. He should really just leave them alone. However…

"ICHIGO, YOU SLY DOG, SEDUCING MY PRECIOUS THIRD DAUGHTER!" He yelled in Ichigo's ear.

Both the orange-haired boy and the raven-haired female jerked awake.

Both of them blushed they saw the position they were in and quickly separated. For good measure, Ichigo grabbed his idiotic father as motioned to throw the man out the window.

"WHAT THE HELL, OLD MAN!" Ichigo yelled as he flung his father out the window.

He turned back to Rukia, who was looking the other way and still blushing.

"Rukia, I—"

"Thanks."

Ichigo stopped short. "What?"

"Thank you for letting me sleep with you," Rukia murmured, "The nightmares went away because of you." Her face was doing a very accurate impression of a tomato by now.

But however scarlet Rukia's face was, Ichigo's was even more crimson.

"…You're welcome I guess…" Ichigo muttered, averting his face from hers.

"Ichigo?"

"Mmmm?"

"Can…you help me with my nightmares tonight, too?"
