Oh, I think the fandom definitely sees a triangle where there isn't actually one. If Rukia and Ichigo had overheard Orihime's comment, they likely would have looked at her like she was totally nuts. I thinkthe extent of the canon triangle is that Orihime has a crush, but believes she would be a third wheel interfering with a dynamic that doesn't have a place for her. I honestly don't think Rukia has any romantic interest in Ichigo, or that ichigo has a romantic interest in either one. Ichigo, though, seems to have Rukia somewhere between "annoying sister" and "mentor who changed my life." Part of that, I think, is being 15 and the fact that she looks his age, but he knows she's way older. I do think it's more likely that he'd eventually develop romantic feelings for orihime than for Rukia, but I don't think it's remotely a factor at this point.
