summary: And now it seems that everyone wants to go to the Kurosaki's and Urahara's New Years party.
NEW BEGINNINGS
The invitation comes by Hell Butterfly from Uruhara. Yuzu and Ururu have expressed their want for a New Year's party and Isshin and Uruahra are, for all intents and purposes, easy marks when it comes to those two. The news of the party spread throughout the Seratei quickly after that - the butterfly had found Rukia during lunch with Renji and a few other Vice Captains; there was no way to stop Rangiku's happy squeal when she heard the word party - and now it's become a small (getting bigger every second) thing.
And now it seems that everyone wants to go to the Kurosaki's and Urahara's New Years party.
Rukia would feel sorry for Isshin and Uruhara, except… she knows them.
Not all can go, of course, few have to stay behind, but many are going. Rukia is on the list of those that are going; of course she is.

The skirt of her dress brushes her knees, the heels are a little higher than she's' comfortable wearing, but Rangiku had thrust him in front of her face when she had seen Rukia's original shoes. The new shoes have a little gold bow by the clasp. Rukia hadn't really argued with Ran much.
When Ichigo opens the door to her group he blinks as he meets her eyes.
"You're taller," he stutters out, eyes flashing quickly down. When he looks up his neck is redder.
Rukia feels her heat up in return and shoves her way in. "And you're still an idiot." Rukia makes her way toward Yuzu who's waving at her, looking fresh and sweet in her soft pink dress.
Behind her she hears Renji's snort. "Smooth, Strawberry."
"Shut up, Pineapple!"
"Hey!"
The sounds of a scuffle sound until… "Move out of the way."
Nii-sama is very efficient. She's also surprised he came. Behind him everyone else shuffles in, Rangiku hopping over towards Isshin is pouring the sake and then goes to hug Orihime. About half the party stops to watch the exchange. Rukia rolls her eyes and goes to Yuzu who is happily chatting with Captain Ukitake and… Only Yuzu wouldn't have a problem Yachiru taking all her treats. When Rukia joins them Yuzu fills her in on the family's trip to the temple this morning and points to Ichigo's bento boxes- one he's currently fighting Renji over.
Soon around her between the Kurosaki's, everyone from the shop, and the members of the Gotei 13 that have shown up the room is full of noise and more than a few fights have occurred. Some, thankfully, being fought on Karin's game consul.
Rukia makes her way around the room, wins her honour back in DDR against Ururu, and can't get a moment to herself alone for hours. It's nearing midnight and she finally manages to sneak upstairs. Ichigo's room is quiet and cool. The muffled noises from the party a small continuous buzz in Rukia's ears. She feels… calm.
It's been something that's been missing lately. The quiet, the calm.
She's so used to be on guard about everything - her life a non-stop race since that second she saw Renji and the boys trying to steal that water - that it feels nice to let it all drop away for a second. She lies back on Ichigo's bed. Kon's downstairs, too, the room is wonderfully silent. With everyone downstairs- with all that power downstair she almost feels sorry for every hollow that thinks of nearing the area around the clinic today.
A laugh escapes her just as she hears the door to the room open.
Ichigo's shape cuts a dark shadow in the door; she didn't turn of the lights.
"Hey, thought I'd find you here," he says, shuffling over.
Rukia watches as he sits at the foot of the bed. The hem of his shirt brushes her bare knees.
"It's pretty loud downstairs."
He snorts. "Dad and Yoruichi are trying to get Byakuya into a drinking contest. Kyōraku is referee."
"Nii-sama has great tolerance," she says, family loyalty strong against her heart.
He grins; it's quick flash of white teeth in the dark. She thinks of his hollow-no, she won't. Not tonight.
"Can you believe… I mean, Dad and the captains."
Rukia nods. The secret of who Isshin was-is- still doesn't seem quiet real.
Ichigo sighs. She sits up and kisses his cheek. His face snaps at her and even in the dark she can feel his reitsu flare for a second, can feel the heat in face. She grins.
"What-what was that for?"
The muffled noises downstairs rise and are suddenly much less muffled.
"Happy New Year, Ichigo."
His mouth drops open, snaps shut, opens again, "You too, Rukia." She can feel one hand drift to her waist, the other touches her jaw. "Happy New Year."
The kiss feels like the beginning of something new too.
