Kao-Chan:
  The first time I saw a Rukia/Ichigo pic stranded randomly in photobucket, I squealed. ^^; "waaaaiii!!! that's soooo kawaii!!!" So I went to search pics of that couple and found out the BLEACH animanga. I bought a (pirated) dvd and started watching it, then... I suddenly fell in love with IchiRuki... xD
  I mean, heck... isn't this couple just simply CUTE? And reasonable at that... I mean, I don't really like Orihime that much. Ichigo simply says,"I owe her. She saved me and moi family." HELL NO! I know... ACTUALLY KNOW that he means more than that. HE found a best friend, an ally, a mentor, a protector and a reliable partner in Rukia. Rukia, she found a really good, understanding friend, a protector, and a leaning shoulder in Ichigo. They share thoughts, they hang out, and they argue about Rukia's sucky drawing. Sometimes, they can be so considerate and caring for each other, and there are times when they almost kill each other over random things. Ichigo patiently explains to her all things she needs to learn in the human world, and Rukia dedicated her time, knowing she'll be blamed violations, to teaching and staying beside Ichigo. They trust each other, and they have no doubts that one will go wrong. Of course, as the main couple, these two always go for the comedic relief in the story, ^_^
