A/N: It's been a while since I was able to write anything, but I thought this was a cute idea and I'm giving it a try. So yeah, enjoy. :) 

Okay, since I've done a trial run with the Anime Addiction quiz and now know how to make them, I figured that I would do an IchiRuki randomness quiz. I want to see what all of you truly think of our Ichigo and Rukia, what you might change on each character or as a couple, and just other random things that I'm a bit curious about. Later on, I may just do a random Bleach poll. But that'll be later when KT drops the ball and pisses me off cause Bleach has gotten boring or random again like HM. Anyway, here's the poll, and enjoy yourselves. : )

Named: Ichigo's Resolve: Rescue of Rukia

If this AMV isn't at the IchiRuki FC at BA, can someone post it up over there. I'm having difficulties with my computer right now. It's running extremely slow and everytime I try to log onto the page, it's telling me the server isn't found. Okay, guys...thank you and enjoy! ^_^

AMV found on youtube. Made by Rukia121. Love the song.

The first AMV is from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It has the english subs on it so you know what the song is about. :) Enjoy!



 

Found this AMV on youtube. It was made by ChappiRukia. I don't know if anyone has seen it yet, but I really like it and think it's pretty awesome. Uverworld is just plain greatness! XD

Sorry,  my link button wasn't working. Anyway, this looks pretty cool. It's not subbed yet.

There's a cute little IchiRuki moment at the end. I wonder why Ichigo is all dressed up? A date with Rukia maybe? XD

 

I love this song! And the AMV isn't so bad either. XD XP

ETA: I just love watching Ichigo fight, especially in SS. His passion and determination is just so awesome! I just love how he looks so damn good in SS with that look. And that's strange for me to say especially since he's taking such a long time to grow on me. But I'll be damned if he doesn't look just so determined and hot! when fighting Zaraki or when he stops the three fuku-taicho's from getting to Renji and Rukia. I just love that passion and flare. Gosh! I'm gushing about it now. :p

Honestly, Ichigo is his hottest around Rukia (attention all fangirls and anime girls alike: this is when the number one rule of life comes into play: you may look, but don't touch, or Rukia may go bankai on your ass and freeze you :p) 

And you know what? Rukia looks beautiful with her hair going a little past her shoulders like that. I like that look on her. It makes her look softer to me. And I know for a fact that Ichigo is probably loving playing hero to his damsel in distress. I bet he's been yearning to do it since the parakeet incident. And since Rukia doesn't allow him to always be in control (who wears the pants in this family? :p) this moment allowed him to shine and be all manly about it.

Rukia and Ichigo, honestly, I just love that chemistry. And I love how the anime team drew Ichigo, Rukia and the panels the same as the manga. So awesome. 

Love that determination. I just wish he showed the same in HM. But probably not or I might have a problem with who he would end up with, and since I'm positive it's going to be Rukia, then it's only best that he has those awesome looks, passionate moments, and determined facial expressions only for her. XD

Well, this is just one of those off-key rants because I just miss the light-hearted bond between Ichigo and Rukia. Heck, I miss their interactions and everything.

I, being very nosy, found this at the IchiRuki LJ Community. It's very well done and I just enjoy it to pieces. Well, I thought it was very cute. ^_^  They were made by Syuku.

Does anyone know how to translate from Thai to English. I would really love to read the novel. I get the jist of it about Rukia cooking for her brother, but I want to read it. Here's where I found it:

Well, here's the first link, so sorry: http://project-hdr.exteen.com/20070205/please-read

Okay, right now I'm just in dire need of some IchiRuki love and just plain bored out of my mind so I decided to write about a topic that has been bothering me as of late. So if anyone does read this, which I'm truthfully not sure anyone does or cares, you can leave a comment and hopefully make me feel better about my chosen couple. >_< Yes, this little IchiRuki fangirl is in denial. There is a reason I try to stay out of other fandoms but I very seldom listen to myself. I just recently went into the IchiOri FC and the people there are very good at analyzing things just like the IchiRuki FC is good at analyzing things as well. I suppose I'm not sturdy enough in my IchiRuki love like I'm suppose to be, but when you don't get any IchiRuki interaction for such a long time in the manga, you tend to get a little restless and start seeing other things. As of right now, I'm not exactly positive of an IchiRuki ending. I would also like to add though that I'm still not big on an IchiOri ending as well. I'll explain that later on.

So, the topic that has been bothering me (and of course everyone else) is who should be happy and get Ichigo? Should Inoue with her undying love or Rukia with her life-changing interactions.

Well, I sat down and started thinking about both Rukia and Inoue's past lives and their present. And I came to the conclusion that I'd most definitely want Rukia to be with Ichigo and be happy mainly because I believe (IMHO) that she had it much harder than Inoue (although I want Inoue to be happy too).

*Breakdown--Rukia*

Rukia has said that she is ten times older than Ichigo is thus making people believe that she is around 150+. So that got me thinking about her life. She died as an infant and thus was denied her right to grow up in the real world and experience life. Then she was abondoned by the one person in the whole world who was suppose to love her the most and protect her, her older sister. The years between her abondonment as an infant and when she met Renji are unclear and unknown. Whether Rukia even remembers these years or does no one truly knows. But finally, after such a long time of being alone (which presumably she was) she was finally able to met Renji and his tag-along gang. From there, she finally got a make-shift family, but they didn't last long. 10 years later and she and Renji were the only ones left of the family. So deciding not to stay poor for the rest of her life, she and Renji both decided to become Shinigami. From there she was abondoned by Renji himself. The man that for 10 years was supposed to watch and protect her and love her left her behind for new things and presumably to fit in. ((Or atleast that was my impression for in the anime in episode 32 when Renji raised his hand to answer, everyone made fun of him. When Rukia told him that she liked how he rose his hand up, he blushed (b/c we knew he kinda likes her) but I also feel that it's a form of embarrassment as well that he couldn't fit in with everyone else.)) And even when Byakuya came to speak to her about her becoming a Kuchiki, Renji once again backed down and let Rukia leave. So not once, but twice was she abondoned by Renji.

That makes three times she was abondoned so far and by people who were supposed to love and protect her.

Then we see that Byakuya treats Rukia just as cold as the rest of the people in the academy (remember she had no friends and Renji really didn't make an effort to hang out with her). Why was Byakuya so cold towards her? I truthfully don't know but it may be because his wife had just died 2 years previously and he was still in grieving and just looking at Rukia upset him. But that's just a theory. So we see that Rukia's life hasn't gotten any better from where she left off.

Next she is taken to Squad 13 where many of the subordinates there speak about her behind her back. This most definitely hurts her even more. She is very fragile, I believe, at this point and her self-confidence is at an all time low. Just thinking about makes me sad, I could see her thinking (no body truly wants me, how worthless I am) and then Kaien-dono steps in.

With his help he changes Rukia for the better. I believe this is the first true light that has shined in Rukia's life. He was there for her, stood by her side, and presumably argued for her. They were very close and even though I believe Rukia was most definitely starting to fall in love with Kaien, she wouldn't allow such a sin to happen. He was married and loved his wife. Rukia loved both kaien and his wife equally. She admired Kaien's wife and wished to be just as brilliant and beautiful if not more. Just knowing that you love someone but can't have them must hurt deeply (this is a great parallel between her and Inoue). Then Kaien is killed by her own hands.

So once again Rukia is left to fend for herself.

Next time we see her, she has finally met Ichigo. She is starting to come out of her shell once again but slowly and cautiously. I don't blame her. Although she loves all those who were there for her and forgives them (Renji and Byakuya) she is still scared to show love and affection. What if he abondons her too? And then low and behold, here comes our two favorite people to take her back to SS to kill her. I don't think you can get any lower than that. But thanks to Ichigo restoring her confidence and fate, Rukia was able to finally pull through some of her guilt of killing Kaien and other issues.

Ichigo seems to be the only who has yet to abondon her and has always been at her side when she needs him.

Well, that's all I will do for now. I have to get to bed for school in the morning but I will update tomorrow for Inoue's Breakdown and her tragedy and happiness.
