I forgot to post that I wrote Kubo-sensei a letter last Dec 22, 2008...
I told him I like the IchiRuki fight scene poster that he drew...
maybe he got lots of fanmail about that so he made the chibis! or

Spoiler!

[hellokitty7593]

Mel-chan, thanks for clearing up the misshap of Kubp's quote! *I hug you*

Spoiler!

Anyway I finished reading the Fade To Black novel and here are some highlights in the book



Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.



"Who are you? Why do you know my name!?"
Ichigo opens his eyes.
Due to the shock he was not able to speak



"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall



"... Your name, let me hear it one more time"
Rukia lets go of Ane's arms and looks straight towards Ichigo
"Its Kurosaki Ichigo"
Jumping foward on top of Ichigo's shoulder, who just answered, Kon also introduced himself with "Its Kon!"

"Kurosaki..."
The moment she spoke the name Rukia's pupil swayed.

The times when she rode on his back and flew through the town during the night. Those orange hairs that were always in her sight.

The boy who looked up at her at the graveyard when the rain left off. Those eyes filled with determination.
The face she saw at the Soukyoku that swelled her up with self confidence-

Why... did she forget about him?
The precious person who changed her destiny

[Navirae]

Plus have you guys noticed the questions being asked are now about IchiRuki only?

Hehe, I noticed that as well. It is quite frequent now for the interviews to be dominant about either the two individually or as a pairing. I guess more people focus on the entire series as a whole rather then a few current scenarios.

And OMGSH, Mel. ILU <33 Again...hehehe I was excited when you said the novel was shippy, but my, I had no idea it would be as much as this. *fangirl mode*

Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.


"Who are you? Why do you know my name!?"
Ichigo opens his eyes.
Due to the shock he was not able to speak

aahhh Ichigo getting angsty at the thought that Rukia could ever forget him. Poor guy. Everyone has forgotten him, yet the reaction due to Rukia forgetting him really hits him hard. Kind of reminds me the moment in the series where Rukia is taken away to SS and Ichigo wonders how the world continued when he was so affected by her being gone. Not the same scenario to be exact, but just the feeling that is put into Ichigo at the thought that Rukia is no longer a part of his life.

"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

"... Your name, let me hear it one more time"
Rukia lets go of Ane's arms and looks straight towards Ichigo
"Its Kurosaki Ichigo"
Jumping foward on top of Ichigo's shoulder, who just answered, Kon also introduced himself with "Its Kon!"

"Kurosaki..."

Aannnd its Rukia's turn to wonder how in the world could she ever forget such a precious person? aaayyyeeeeeee. I always thought the movie to be a wonderful rendition of SS and how it would be if Rukia and Ichigo's feelings and deep bond right now was to be reflected during the SS arc. Its such a beautiful work as well, since it actually kept everything that made us fall in love with SS in the first place.

I love how just his name is enough to trigger so much about him to her. And the flashbacks of all the moments they shared...from the grandest like her rescue to the smallest such as her riding on his back...so sweet <333

Thank you so much, Mel, for sharing this!

[ashido fan]

Mel, thank you so much!!

Anyway I finished reading the Fade To Black novel and here are some highlights in the book

Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.

He needs her. He NEEDS her. She's so important to you, Ichi?
Poor boy, he was astonished with TERROR even if he has just forgotten her for awhile.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name!?"
Ichigo opens his eyes.
Due to the shock he was not able to speak

Dumb-founded.
Only people in trauma aren't able to speak when something hard hits them in their face.

"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

The emotions in her heart is stirring. So mutual.

"... Your name, let me hear it one more time"
Rukia lets go of Ane's arms and looks straight towards Ichigo
"Its Kurosaki Ichigo"
Jumping foward on top of Ichigo's shoulder, who just answered, Kon also introduced himself with "Its Kon!"

"Kurosaki..."
The moment she spoke the name Rukia's pupil swayed.

The times when she rode on his back and flew through the town during the night. Those orange hairs that were always in her sight.

The boy who looked up at her at the graveyard when the rain left off. Those eyes filled with determination.
The face she saw at the Soukyoku that swelled her up with self confidence-

All IchiRuki scenes are highlighted once again in the novel and in her flashback. Nobody should forget all that has happened between Ichigo and Rukia which have brought them to their cutrrent stage today.

Why... did she forget about him?
The precious person who changed her destiny

They are precious to each other!!

Ichigo refer to Rukia as a precious nakama, and Rukia is the one who has changed his destiny.

And now, it is highlighted that Ichigo has also changed Rukia's destiny, and he is precious to her as to him.

Mutual. Mutual. Mutual. <3

Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.

Not just needed, but EXCEEDINGLY needed?!

"Who are you? Why do you know my name!?"
Ichigo opens his eyes.
Due to the shock he was not able to speak

Of course he's not able to speak! The person who he EXCEEDINGLY NEEDS does not recognize him!

"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

WHAT IS THIS?! IS THIS... IS THIS... Is this akin to "butterflies" in the stomach?!

I think we have some incestuous feelings going on here, guys.

"... Your name, let me hear it one more time"
Rukia lets go of Ane's arms and looks straight towards Ichigo
"Its Kurosaki Ichigo"
Jumping foward on top of Ichigo's shoulder, who just answered, Kon also introduced himself with "Its Kon!"

precious person, eh?! EH?!

...Orange hairs that were always in her sight. is Rukia staring at someone?!

Am I the only one extremely elated to hear about some Rukia-->Ichigo in this movie/novel? Thank you so much, Melody, for translating these! You make me a VERY happy IchiRuki fan.

[Kylara]

First thing first, thanks to Melodymix. Take your time, this is more than enough for now! Thank you thank you!

Why... did she forget about him?
The precious person who changed her destiny.

Wow. We did just have a discussion on this what, last week? On whether or not Rukia's world had been changed to the same extent that Ichigo's had. Well, that's pretty explicit. I guess they're just a pair of world-changers.

"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

Wow, again. Rukia doesn't really cry very often, so the fact that she feels close to it is quite telling. This really says a lot about how important the memories of him are and how he affects her. Just his name and there go the hormones making her feel all hot! ;P This sounds very emotional, though.

The boy who looked up at her at the graveyard when the rain left off. Those eyes filled with determination.
The face she saw at the Soukyoku that swelled her up with self confidence-

"And the rain left off". I love that clear skies after rainy days is one of their major themes. The graveyard sounds like Memories in the Rain, which is actually why I really started shipping them in the first place. I liked how they interacted and was toying with committing to them, but then this arc -- what a pair, what maturity and resolve, with Rukia saying she'd wait to hear about his mother and Ichigo's declaration at the end to better himself as a shinigami. They really brought strength and growth to each other. I was lost after that. Consequently, I've got a lot of fondness for that scene, and so it thrills me that it's one of the scenes singled out here. They're all great ones. And is the author of this novel a shipper? Or is she just seeing it how it is?

And CrimsonQuincy, hahah, I was just commenting on another blog that as fond as I am of this movie as a shipper, it seems to be all about Ichigo --> Rukia. And then I read this! I'm just as thrilled.

[tsuki-hime]

OMG.. MEL!!!!

Thank you.. Thank you.. and Thank you for that!!

Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.

.. YOU need HER that much!!!!! We know that Ichigo!! SO SWEET!! (definitely your not complete withiout her.. )

*Its me! Its Ichigo!!"
The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.
"You... are..."
For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

Rukia: "you.... are...." (oh geez.. This guy is really SMEXY.. I think I'm going to have a heart attack.. I must remember him right now!! )

"... Your name, let me hear it one more time"
Rukia lets go of Ane's arms and looks straight towards Ichigo
"Its Kurosaki Ichigo"
Jumping foward on top of Ichigo's shoulder, who just answered, Kon also introduced himself with "Its Kon!"
"Kurosaki..."

Rukia: *still in the process of remembering that SMEXY guy in front of her* (I like that hair.. I like his determination.. I like his self-confidence) DAMN IT!! Why can't I remember such a hot guy like him?!

[CONNAKA]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE SNIPPETS FROM THE NOVEL, MEL~♥!

Ichigo hastily woke up
"Rukia..."
He is astonished with terror about forgetting "Kuchiki Rukia", an existence whom he exceedingly needed.

O RLY?


So, in other words..
ICHIGO: "Need, need, need, need, need, need, need, need, need, need, need, NEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!

EXCEEDINGLY.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name!?"
Ichigo opens his eyes.
Due to the shock he was not able to speak

"Its me! Its Ichigo!!"

Aw, poor guy!

Not only is he already beating himself up for forgetting Rukia (even if only for A MOMENT!), but he must also experience what it's like being on the other end of that which he thought so horrible, and that is - to be forgotten by the one person he couldn't bare to forget!

RUKIAAAAA! GIVE HIM A HUG, NAAAOZ!!!

The moment she heard the name Rukia's pupils opened up.

For some reason her chest started feeling hot and it felt like tears were going to fall

Gah! What a wonderfully heart-wrenching scene.

"You... are..."

Fu.

Rukia, the answer you're looking for here is.. "NEEDY, AND SO IN LOVE WITH ME."

We know. It's obvious to us, too.

The times when she rode on his back and flew through the town during the night. Those orange hairs that were always in her sight

The boy who looked up at her at the graveyard when the rain left off. Those eyes filled with determination.
The face she saw at the Soukyoku that swelled her up with self confidence-

OMG! Not only do we get flashbacks of such significant scenes from the 'Memories in the Rain' and the 'Deathberry Returns' chapters, but we even get sweet little scenes like her riding on his back through the town, at night, back when they first met?

That's so cuuute! <333

I especially love that they included adorable little details like, 'Those orange hairs that were always in her sight.'

Why... did she forget about him?

The precious person who changed her destiny

Rukia is the precious nakama who changed his world.
Ichigo is the precious person who changed her destiny.

THEY ARE PRECIOUS TO ONE ANOTHERRRRRR!!!



'Nuff said. ♥


(Take THAT, detractors! Because this is Rukia having absolutely NO FEELINGS for her precious Ichigo. )

[debbiechan]

I thought Kubo's response was really fair because for anyone who hasn't read or watched Bleach, their first question is going to be, "Oh, is that Rukia chick Ichigo's girlfriend?"

Haha, I've said that too. It fits in a movie booklet for people not familiar with Bleach--oh no, guys shes not his girlfriend even though he's flipping out about her and acting all like she is!

MEL! Thank you for the latest tidbits. Can I add to your million hugs now?
A million and one!

The person he exceedingly needed indeed!

I love it. The self-determined, scowly shounen hero who spent effort cultivating his "image" in middle school as an outsider and who is all tempestuous and headstrong and impulsive needs a girl. Oh Ichigo. You big orange headed pile of cheese.

[ShuiMei]

"Kurosaki..."

Oh these are just so good! Thanks so much for these <3
I especially love the lines about "The times when she rode on his back and flew through the town during the night. Those orange hairs that were always in her sight."

For me, these lines highlight a sort of physical proximity and intimacy that we don't usually think about when we think about Ichigo and Rukia's relationship. Of course, we all love and acknowledge how close and intimate they are emotionally, but when it comes to physical attachment, I often overlook this aspect of their relationship. These lines remind me of how close they are to each other physically as well when they are together, that "those orange hairs that were always in her sight" were not only familiar but also comforting to Rukia.

Though how they feel about each other may be ambiguous, what is undeniable is that they want to be near, if not with each other <3 Ah, these lines really remind of that physical attachment they have.
