1. Who do you like more, Ichigo or Rukia?

Ichigo but I still love Rukia

2. What do you like about Ichigo?

His will to protect, his determination, his dedication to his friends and family his stupidity, his shyness, the list could go on....(the only thing I don't like about him is that his hero complex sometimes hurts people around him and then he gets all depressed and Rukia has to set him strait.)

3. What do you like about Rukia?

She's strong but still cute, she can handle most things by herself but still needs help from others(ichigo), again the list could go on...(it'd be better if there was a question of what i don't like. That'd be easier and shorter.)

4. Which chapter made you fall in love with IchiRuki?

All of book 3.

5. What is your ideal IchiRuki scene? (Manga or non-manga is acceptable)

From The Manga: When Ichigo flies up to the bridge connecting to the tower Rukia was captured in, and they exchange insults, then warm words.
From the anime: From FTB when ichigo holds Rukia in his arms, Rukia says his name and he says "yo" and smiles cutely (*fangirl sqeee*). And the scene at the end of FTB right before the credits when Rukia and Ichigo are talking and when Rukia is planning to leave to go back to the soul society and says "I'm getting attached to......this world." (yeah....okay rukia we know what you're trying to say)
From My Imagination: Rukia and Ichigo at the end of the winter war say how much they were worried about eachother dieing and end up confessing they're feelings. They kiss and everything wooshes around them and the orchestra version of "pray that you always understand me" from fade to black plays in the background at the violin solo.

6. Are there any other pairings you know which are similar to IchiRuki in any way?

There is no pairing that can amount to the greatness of ichiruki (maby ishihime or inuyashaXkagome)

10. Do you think IchiRuki is unspoken love, mutual love, or unreciprocated love?

Unspoken love/mutual love

11. What colour do you think represents the pairing?

I say a combo of Black/White, possibly blue and red

12. Apart from this pairing, what other pairings do you support?

IshiHime, MatsuHitsu, NelIchi, UraYoru, ByaHisa, Grimmichi, IchiHichi IchiIshi (eh...I can't think of em all...these are my favorites)

13. What nicknames do you give to Ichigo?

Strawberry, Black Sun, Ichi,....sexy O3O

14. What nicknames do you give to Rukia?

Ru, White Moon

15. What song do you think represents this pairing?

Glow- Masakazu Morita (ichigo) Fumiko Orikasa (rukia)

16. Do you think this pairing is a Bleach version "Romeo and Juliet"?

Well, Ichigo does love shakspear. Sort of...IchiRuki is sort of forbidden love because Rukia's a shinigami and Ichigo's a vizard/human/shinigami daiko but they wouldn't kill themselves like that.

17. Who do you think is a potential rival to this pairing?

Of course Orihime, as she has an interest in Ichigo, as well as Renji, who has a past and an obvious infatuation with Rukia. However I think the biggest rival is the two of them themselves. Ichigo and Rukia won't admit their feelings, and that could bring relationship development to a standstill. Or Tite Kubo if he doesn't make them canon *gets out rifel* he better...)

18. What fanworks have you done for this pairing?

An autum kiss scene, a fanfic, Some halloween things and christmas that I haven't posted because they're fails.

19. How big a chance do you think this pairing will happen for real?

90% because of all of the hints and fans. "Rukia is Ichigo's ray of light" and "They have an unbreakable bond" really? how can it not happen.

20. Are you happy with what has happened in the manga (regarding this pairing) so far?

Surprisingly, Yes, I am. I think the two of them are developing quite nicely. Every few chapters or so we're reminded just how deep these twos' connection is, how much more deep it's becoming. It gives me hope.

21. Will you still support this pairing through fanworks if it does not happen?

Hell yeah!

22. Where do you think they will go on a first date?

Hmm...I don't really know...

23. Who do you think will initiate? Ichigo or Rukia?

I'd say Rukia when she realizes it because Ichigo's too shy.

24. Why do you think some people oppose this pairing?

Some people like Orihime's character better, some think that Renji is a better match for Rukia.. really it's the fact that some people think differently than others. I love Orihime and Renji as characters but I just don't see them with Ichigo and Rukia.

25. Who do you see cooking for the other? Ichigo or Rukia?

I'd absolutely love love love to see Ichigo cook for Ru. It'd be cute to see him in a little apron and oven mitts. I think he'd be a pretty good cook.....*artistic ideas flowing*
