Wait wait wait, I dropped Bleach years ago. Did Ichigo and Orihime get together?!

... *Hides in shame as her feelings for the first pairing she ever shipped make her want to act like the people we've been dissing*

In all seriousness, I liked the chemistry/interactions between Ichigo and Rukia better than IchiHime, especially since Ichigo seemed like he barely even paid attention to Orihime. When he went to the Soul Society, the big goal in his mind was "Save Rukia". When he went to Hueco Mundo and found Orihime, his big goal in mind was "Yo, Grimmjow! Round 2, this time I'll win!!" Orihime was always on the sidelines going "Notice me, Ichigo, notice meeee, when will you notice I love you even though I won't show any sign of it to your face omg notice me right now" (Kind of like Sakura to Sasuke... and in hindsight, Sakura got her man despite that. *Sigh* At least Ichigo was nicer to Orihime than Sasuke was to Sakura. Geez.)

While I don't ship Bumblebee, I feel it's unfair to say that they had no proper interaction aside from Burning the Candle and Destiny. "Proper interaction" doesn't have to be big huge character moments. It can be the day-to-day, casual interactions and conversations. While "I like it when you're feisty" doesn't count, I do still like to look back to Blake and Yang hangin' out in the Emerald Forest already acting like best buds shortly after partnering up and the way that Yang made Blake smile back then.

If-- Who am I kidding? When those two make up, they're going to be best friends at the very least. They actually mesh pretty well together.

One thing that Yang and Sun have (Er, had, before volume 3 made Yang depressed) in common is a "Go with the flow, live life and have fun" attitude that helps Blake relax and smile a little. Though, Yang's kinda fiery and doesn't seem to put up with Blake's... (I'm not sure how to word it..) bad attitude moments? Sun, meanwhile, seems like he stays fairly levelheaded (or, at least, more than Yang) in the face of those bad attitude moments. Though, there's the possibility that we could see differently in volume 4..

Anyway, yeah, I see Black Sun more than Bumblebee, but I see Bumblebee a hell of a lot more than White Rose, so if I had to choose between those two rabid-shipper-filled ships, I'd choose Bumblebee.
