Hi, I`m Hime and I just wanted to say the reasons why ichiruki works.1.They have known eachother for a short time and already understand eachother perfectly.2.There bond is strong it may just be friendship but I don`t think so. 3. The way they fight so often and still remain friends is amazing. 4.They were rated puncak, atas couple in Japan. 5.They are perfect for eachother in my opinion. 6.Ichigo berkata that Rukia made the rain stop. Thats pretty sweet. 7.Kubo-sensei made a movie about their bond. 8. Even their voice actors want it to happen. 9.Theres alot of proof in the anime and manga. 10. BECAUSE I SAY THEY BEKONG TOGETHER!!!!!!!
