Rukia opened up the closet door to see Ichigo in his Shinigami (Soul Reaper) form. "Hi Ichigo." Rukia said cheerfully. "Hey Rukia." Ichigo said oddly. "How are..." Rukia started to say. "Listen Rukia...I know that the answer is probably no but I wanted to ask anyway." Ichigo said. " I w...w...was just wondering...d...did you want to go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" Ichigo asked, though he kind of stuttered. Rukia stared at him. Ichigo looked as though he had just found out his whole family died. "Its o...okay if you don't..." Ichigo struggled to say. "It's just I have been trying to work up the nerve to ask for a while...You don't have to if you don't want to." Rukia started to smlie at Ichigo. This smile widdened with each passing moment. "I know the answer is probably no but I wanted to ask anyway." Rukia repeated. Rukia gave him a kiss on the lips and hugged him. "What the hell does that mean?" Rukia asked laughing. Ichigo look relieved. "I just seemed like a good thing to say at the time I don't know." Ichigo replied. "Of course I will go out with you, I was going to ask you the same question in a couple of days!" Rukia said happily. Ichigo looked at Rukia. "Well not exactly the same way." Rukia said smiling.

Everything that Orihime heard crushed her heart. She was in love with Ichigo for a while now but never asked him out. Orihime started to sob. "THIS ISN'T FAIR DAMNIT!" Orihime thought to herself.

"Its late Ichigo, we should probably go to be." Rukia stated. "Okay, if you insist." Ichigo replied. Rukia returned to the closet and shut the door and Ichigo got back into his human body, into his bed, and then turned off the light. Rukia took Orihime out of her bra. "Did you hear all of that my little pet, he wants to go out with me, not you." Rukia said quietly so Ichigo would not hear. She saw that Orihime was sobbing. "Don't worry my little pet, if I ever let you go you could still ask Uryu out, I think that you two look cute together." Rukia giggled. "Now, since you were a good little girl, I will let you sleep in my hand tonight." Rukia added and then turned off the lights.

Orihime laid awake for several hours, even after Rukia fell asleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Ichigo. "If I could only reach him... tell and show him what a little bit$% Rukia really was I could change his mind." Orihime said to herself. This would be problematic since she was still very weak from the ordeal from before. "No...I have to get to Ichigo...he belongs with me, not Rukia!" Orihime thought and slowely stood up. It was dark inside of the closet, but not dark enough to prevent one from seeing. Orihime glanced at Rukia. "I have to go now while she is asleep." Orihime started to run.

Because she was weak at the moment she couldn't run very long. She slowed to a walk after only two minutes. "This damn bed seems to go on forever!" Orihime said quietly to herself. After forty minutes of limping and slowely walking, Orihime made it to the closet door. "How the hell am I going to open the door?" Orihime pondered to herself. Suddenly Orihime heard something that nearly made her jump out of her skin. "Don't Move A Muscle Orihime." Rukia stated in a frightning tone of voice. Rukia turned on the small lamp she recently brought in the closet to a dim setting. Orihime started to run. A moment later she was in Rukia's crushing grip. "Huge mistake my little pet!" Rukia said quietly so Ichigo would not hear. Orihime felt many of her bones start to crack once more. Rukia continued to tighten her fist around Orihime. Rukia suddenly threw Orihime into her mouth and trapped her underneath her tongue.

"I'll teach her to defy me!" Rukia thought to herself as she grinned evily at Orihime's futile attempts to escape. She pulled out her soul candy and swallowed a piece. She was suddenly in her Shinigami (Soul Reaper) form. She ordered her Gigia to spit Orihime into her hand and then quietly snick out of the closet and then the room. When she got outside she look down at Orihime. "I told you not to try to escape and you defied me once again...so now i'm pissed!" Rukia whispered sweetly in Orihime's small ear. "While Ichigo and Renji can see me because they are also Shinigami...and Chad can see me since he has special abilities and is spiritually aware and so can Uryu since he is a Quincy, and so can you, No Normal human can see me." Rukia said evily. "And since I don't have to worry about them seeing me torture you with my feet because they should be asleep...I can do whatever I want without fear of being caught." Rukia continued, no laughing quietly. "Now what to do first?"
