"Ok, i gotta tell her, or else she'll hate my guts and kick my arse a something bad." muttered our hero, trying to decide what to do.

On this day, Ichigo Kurosaki, will try to explain to his long-time friend, and crush, why he has been diappearing for random amounts of time, and always coming back injured.

"Ok, I'm gonna tell her." he decided walking around the corner in their school hallway. "Tell who what?" at that he froze. He thought he was the only student left in the school, since school ended over half an hour ago.

"O-Oh hey, Tatsuki, w-what are you doing here?" paniced Ichigo.

"Hm." she caught his paniced tone even if he looked calm. "Student Diciplenary Commitee meeting, every Tuesday after school." she calmly answered.

"Oh, yeah?" sweatdrop he had forgotten. " I'll be going now." he tried to chicken out.

"You still didn't answer my earlier question." she asked again. He swore under his breath "Ah...uh I..." he started, she looked impatient "Well you see, I...um..." he tried again.

"Out with it, I'm late for practice as it is." she said annoyed. So he tried again. "Well I was going to tell a friend something important." he answered truthfully. "Hm, like what?" she said just to get under his skin, just to get him to say what it is he will not say. He cracked. "That...That I'm sorry for leaving them out, sorry for not telling them everything, sorry for-" he answered and was cut off by hug.

"Ichigo?"she whispered.

"Yeah?" he whispered back.

"You're an idiot."
