Wounderfull Misery

"Rukia, Rukia, wake up, wake up Rukia, come on, don't sleep all day," his warm hand was shaking her shoulder, she opened her amythest eyes slowly, and sat straight up, Ichigo was smileing down at her, she smiled up at him, then she noticed something, "Ichigo? Why was I sleeping in a meadow?" Ichigo chuckled, "And, why are you in your Soul Reaper form? Did I miss something?" "Don't fret, you missed nothing, just a hollow, it didn't even get around here, I took care of it before it could wake you up," "Right, wich leads me back to the first question, why am I sleeping in a meadow?" "Don't you remember? We were looking at the stars and we fell asleep, I woke up about an hour ago to take care of that hollow and thought I'd let you sleep just a little more," this seemed so strange, she was starting to remember falling asleep though, "Want help getting up?" he offered, his face was soft, "Um, sure, ok," he offered his hands, she took ahold, "Ready?" she nodded and he pulled her up swiftly, she would've lost her balance if he hadn't still been holding her hands, his face was still shadowed, that was odd, she could understand it before because he was blocking the sun, but, should his face still be like that? She barely reckognized her dress, it was a light blue, sleveless sundress, hm, interesting, "Well, we better get going," he was still holding onto one of her hands, "let's go, Love," Rukia's eyes grew, "Woa! Wa- did you just call me 'love'?!" Ichigo blinked, "Yes, is something wrong? I thought you liked that pet name," "Uh, no, no I do, I just, I guess I forgot," he cocked his head, "Are you feeling alright?" "Y- Yes! I'm fine!" "Maybe we should get you home sooner than I thought," "Yes, home sounds good," Ichigo gave a small tug on her hand and started leading her away, this was all so strange! There was defenitly something strange going on, but she liked it, she loved him, and it finaly felt like he loved her back, so, she wasn't going to do anything, it might've been a stupid decision, but she didn't want this to end, suddenly Ichigo stopped and held is hand in front of her, she tried to look over his shoulder, but couldn't see, "Ichigo? Why'd we stop?" "Stay back Rukia," Rukia blinked a few times, "Huh? Why are you-" she looked aroud him and saw a few Soul Reapers from the exicution squad, "Ichigo," "Rukia, run," "No! I'm going to stay and fight!" "I said to run, Rukia, trust me," he turned around, smiled, (his face was no longer shadowed) and leaned down, kissing her lips softly, "Now, run," he wispered to her, drawing his sword, her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, but she willed them to move and she ran, she could hear Ichigo draw his sword, but then she felt something tie around her ankle she tripped, and the black ribbon held her, "ICHIGO!!!!!!!!!" She yelled before the ribbon covered her mouth, and she was intoxicated into sleep, she could faintly hear him calling her name in the background, "RUKIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Rukia felt her body fall and hit his arms, she cracked her eyes open, to see Ichigo cradeling her body and killing the last exicutioner with his bloody sword, he then sheathed his blade and carried her home, Rukia smiled a little, and said, "Thank you for protecting me, Ichigo," she felt him kiss her as her eyes closed, "Rukia," she heard, "Rukia, Rukia, wake up my sweet darling, wake up and grace the world with your voice," alright now that was beyond weird even for him! But Rukia opened her amythist eyes anyway
She was in Ichigo's room, "Finally! How deep can you midgets sleep!?" So it was just a dream, but that was him waking her up, wait a minute, "Wen you were waking me up, did you say something about sweet darlings and gracing the world?" "Wat?! No! I said 'Rukia! Rukia! Wake up you stupid Midget! Wake up before the world breaks from my voice!'" yeah, she liked her version better, she sat up, just noticing that she was still in the closet and it was still night, "Why're you-" "You were mumbeling in your sleep, I think you were having a nightmare," "Oh, I was?" "Don't you remember?" "Well, it wasn't like a nightmare, really," Ichigo looked at her lightly, "Well, I mean, it was more like a dream really, and I do remeber it, it's just, kind of complicated," "Oh," 'It was a wounderfull sort of missery,' she thought, "Well, go back to sleep, Darling," "Wat did you just call me?!" he cocked his head and said, "I called you a midget, Midget," "Ok, I must be really tired, g'night Ichigo," "Goodnight Sweetheart," she just ignored it, as he shut the closet door,
She should be miserable, she had every right to be, she should be in pain, and hopeing that she could be numb or asleep soon, she should be, but she wasn't, this was a wounderfull kind of misery, because she could sense him nearby, she wanted to lay there and feel him get closer, but she new she couldn't, she gripped the handle of her Zanpokto lightly, her fingers were still covered in it's snowey release, she grasped it and began pushing on the ground, trieing to get up, "Stay down, Rukia," her eyes widened, she hadn't heard him enter the room, "I- Ichi-" "Shh, stop talking, if you talk you might die," "Tch, you wish," "Yeah right, wat did I just say? Stop talking, I mean it," well, she was in no mood to argue, "Wow, you're pretty banged up," "So are you," Are you ever going to shut up Midget?!" she felt him standing over her, even though she couldn't see him, she was facing the other way, he touched her lightly, "Orahime's on her way, so just keep that little heart beatin' a little longer," "No problum," "Please stop talking," a few moments passed, and Rukia heard Orahime's footsteps and some mumbeling between Ichigo and the other red head, "Rukia? Promise me something ok?" "Sure," "Promise me that you'll stay alive," "Only if you promise that you won't let go of me," he grasped her hand tighter, "Yeah, and Rukia, promise me one more thing," "Wat?" "Promise me that you'll wake up, Rukia, wake up," his voice was becoming distant, there was a faint nocking, "Wake up, Rukia!" his voice was angry now and Rukia realized that she had been dreaming, she woke up and slid the closet door open, "I'm awake Ichigo!" she hissed, and slammed the door to get dressed, she slid back out of the closet and stepped lightly across the room, "Well that must've been a good dream, you slept peacefully enough," she nodded, "Hey Rukia, is something wrong?" he asked, she looked up, "Um, no, Why-" she blushed as she felt his hand on her head, and then on his, she was still a bit stunned, "Hmm, your head's hot, you feelin' ok?" Rukia blinked a few times, "Um, I-I feel fine, thanks," Ichigo glanced at her, "Are you SURE?" "Yes! I'm fine!" "I dunno, maybe you should lay down," "I'm fine Ichigo! Honest! Stop crowding me!" "Crowding you? Ok, now I'm REALLY concerned, since wen have I ever crowded you?" "N- Never mind, forget it,"
"No I'm not going to forget it! Wat are you talking about?! If you don't start makin' some sense soon-" "Look, I've been having some weird dreams these last few nights ok?!" "Wat kind of dreams?" "Well, the last one was about you finding me wen we were in Hueco Mundo," "You were barely conciouse," "Yeah I no,and the one before that, was complicated, but in both cases you were crowding me," "Oh, I see," "But, it's ok, I mean, I, uh, kinda liked it," "I thought it was making you miserable," he smirked, "Yeah well, it's a pretty wounderfull kind of misery," she smiled, "Do that again," "Do wat again?" "Smile like that," "Why?" "I love it wen you smile," "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, and I love you," he cupped her face gentally, kissing her softly, "Do that again," she wispered, "Why?" "Because I love it, I love you," he kissed her more deeply, then raised up, "I'm not crowding you am I?" "No, it's a really wounderfull kind of misery,"

Forever Your's

NOTE: 2,000+ hits my lovelies!

It was a strange feeling, it felt good, yet, painfull, it wasn't hard to hold back a scream, he didn't want her to no that it hurt, "I'm sorry," she wispered, "Wat for?" he choked out, "Shouldn't've... done this," "Nah, you needed to right?" "Still, I shouldn't've.... done this.... to you," "It's alright," "Nu-uh, it... hurts... I no...." "I've had alot worse, besides, you're making it alot better," "Might die," "No way, like I'd do something that stupid," "Please no," "Yeah, I couldn't just leave you here, how could I abandon you? I'm not cruel, you have no one else," "Why stay?" "I just told you, Rukia, you don't listen, I don't want to leave anyway, this actually is kinda nice," "Liar," "Eh, mybe I am, but having you here IS nice," "Still," "Stop cryin' will ya'? You can't talk straight wen you cry," "Can't help it.... I'm scared," "Come on Rukia, don't do that, you're.... you're gonna make ME cry," "Yeah right," "Yeah, right, don't think I won't, if you keep cryin', I'm gonna start cryin' too, come on, don't do that to me," "I'm sorry," "You shouldn't be cryin' anyway, I'm not leaving," "Sorry," "Rukia come on, this... this isn't goodbye, ok? Not goodbye," "I'm sorry, I shouldn't've done this, not to you," "You needed to, it's ok," it had surprised him wen she had first done it, it surprised him wen her sword was suddenly in him and she wispered in the lowest voice, "Bankai," but it surprised him the most wen she started crying and woudn't let go of him, after all, who new that she could actually purify him? "Don't die on me," Rukia wispered, "I'm not going to die, I promise," "You promise?" "Yes," "Do you promise that you'll see me again someday?" "Wat? Wat are you talking about?!" "Just promise," "Ok I promise," "Thank you, goodbye," "Wat?!" and that's wen he noticed that Rukia was walking away, "See you again," she promised,
Ichigo woke up, breathing heavily, Rukia looked up at him from her position on the floor, and raised an eyebrow, taking the cookie from her mouth and sitting up, "Are you ok?" she asked worridly, Ichigo looked at her for a moment, "Y-yeah! I'm fine," she sat next on him on the bed, "Sure," she said skeptically, touching his forehead with her hand, his eyes narrowed slightly and he brought her hand away from him, "I'm fine," he repeated, she stuck her tounge out at him, "Child," "Jerk!" "Atleast I'm acting my age so wat does that say about you?" "Well atleast I'm being nice! So wat does THAT say about YOU!?" She slid down from the bed and continued her previouse activities, the dream he had had scared him, "Hey Rukia? Do you no Bankai?" Rukia stopped drawing and looked up, "Yes," "And um, wat, by chance, IS your Bankai?" "Well, it's simaler to my Shikai, and ofcoures YOU'VE never seen it because you always kill everyone within a ten mile radiouse before I get to Bankai, but anyway, it's just alot stronger and more elegant than my Shikai, and if my sword is broken it can grow back, ...Why?" "Because I, uh, wanted to make sure that mine was cooler! And it is!" "To you maybe, tch, Jerk," 'Well, atleast that dream can't come true,' "You've been acting really weird today, I mean, you were mumbeling something incoherent in your sleep, and now this," 'Well atleast it was incoherent,' "I'm telling you Ichigo, one more weird thing today and I'm taking you to get your head examined, you may have taken one to many hits to the skull," Ichigo rolled his eyes, Rukia went back to her drawings, Ichigo shook his head, suddenly Rukia's Soul Phone went off, and it was time to leave
There were three hollows, the first two were easy, but the third was a bit unexpected, Rukia had just finished the first hollow wen the third suddenly attacked from behind, it slammed her into a nearby wall, "Rukia!" Ichigo yelled, finishing off one of the remaining hollows, Rukia pushed herself up from the wall, she found it a bit difficult to keep her eyes open though, considering that the blood trickling down her face was running into one of her amythist eyes, "Stay back Rukia! I'll take care of it!" and with that, Ichigo swung his sword down on the hollow, he turned to see Rukia tapping her foot on the ground impatiently, "Wat's wrong?" "Why couldn't you little ME do that?" "Because the blood could've gotten in your eyes and then you'd go blinde," "I don't believe that," "Suit yourself, now come on," Rukia rolled her eyes, but followed him anyway,
"Rukia, stay away," "No!" "Stay away," Byauya repeated, "NO!" Rukia repeated, "Why do you insist on going to him?" "Because I love him!" Rukia shouted, she tried to struggle out of her brother's grip but was unable, her brother forced her through the gates and into Soul Society, leaving Ichigo alone in the rain, 5 years later.... Rukia was cornered, five hollows, no sword, and her kido was useless, she looked arond frantically, there was no sighn of Ichigo anywere, "Ichigo!" she shouted, hoping that her savior would still come, "Ichigo please!" she tried again, still no reply, 'He'll be here! He's always getting in the way! And doing everything at the last minute! He'll be here though! Please?' she thought, "Ichigo! Ichigo please! I didn't mean to leave! I still need you! I still LOVE you! Please! Help me! Ichigo please help me! Please! ICHIGO!!!!!!!!" Rukia shouted as the hollow silenced her forever,
"Ichigo!" She woke up screaming, the closet door opened, "Rukia?! Wat's the matter? Are you ok?" she waited for a moment, letting herself calm down, "Um, I'm fine, wat on earth are you doing up?" "Well, as if I could sleep with your screaming, let's see, I normally respond to my name, so wat's the problum?" "N- Nothing, I'm fine," Ichigo stared at her for a moment, "Come on," he said, pulling her out of the closet, and leading her to his bed, "Lay down and go to sleep," "Excuse me?" "I'm not going to make you tell me about your nightmare, but I don't like being woken up, so just go to sleep, I'll keep the bad dreams away," Rukia was thankfull for the darkness so that Ichigo couldn't see her blush, "Fine," she layed down next to him on the bed and closed her eyes, but she only kept them closed for a moment because she soon felt him wrap his strong arms around her and pulled her forward, cupping her small hands in his strong ones, she opened her eyes in shock and glanced back at him, she smiled softly, seeing that his eyes were closed, she pressed her head lightly against his chest, and slowely fell asleep,
Ichigo woke up the next morning, he looked down at Rukia, it was nice waking up next to her, it felt sort of natural, waking up next to her, he watched her for a minute, watched how she slept, he had never watched her sleep before, it was kind of nice, seeing the diffrent quirks and habbits she had wile unconciouse, well, wile sleeping, she was still as a rock wen she was unconciouse, he grinned, her raven hair was clouding her face, it was messy and eskew, it suited her, it made her look more innocent, and he new that despite everything, she was indeed as innocent as, well, anyone else, as innocent as he was, if you took off the blood and death and killing work of a Soul Reaper, they were both incredably innocent, her mouth was slightly open, showing just a bit of the first row of tiny wite teeth, it was actually pretty cute, it made her look even more adorable and innocent, innocence suited her, it made her features pop, her hands were still in his, he watched her little chest rise and fall, and he grinned wider, he admitted it, she was cute, wat's so bad about admitting it? He stroked her pale face with the back of his finger, it was sort of hard to believe that this beautifull girl was so strong and had seen (and shed) so much blood, it was even harder to belive that anyone ever wanted to kill her, he saw her start to twitch and he quickly sat up to escape suspicion, she blinked her eyes open, he just noticed how big her violet eyes were, they took up most of her face, explaining her smaller features, she sat up, "Why are you looking at me?" she asked, "Uh, well, I wanted to see if staring at you would actually wake you up and it did," she cocked her head and then shrugged, he watched as she yawned and rubbed the sleep from her eyes, he held back a laugh, this was just too cute! (And how it was Ichigo's mind that these thoughts were running through is a mystery to this day) She was absolutely adorable in the mornings! "Wat's so funny?" she asked, her voice still rang like bells, even in the mornings, "Eh, nothing, just, nothing," "Someone must've had a good dream," "Eh, yeah, a dream, " she glanced at him, "Wat about you? How'd ya' sleep?" she blushed a little and looked away from his gaze, "Fine, as well as I could sleep with all your snoreing that is," 'Amazing! I haven't slept that well since-, well, never! He must be like some giant sleeping drug!' she thought, Ichigo got up and said, "Since my snoreing botheres you, I'm going to go ahead and- take the bathroom first!" "H- Hey!" but he was already gone, his shirt shed in the doorway, she rolled her eyes and fell back in the bed, turning on her side, she smiled, the pillows smelled like him, just like strawberries
"Ichigo! Move!" it was late afternoon wen the hollows apeared, there were few like yesterday, but as she turned to warn Ichigo, the hollow hit her in the back, nocking her off the roof, "RUKIA!!!!!" Rukia's pale hand was able to grip the side of the building, Ichigo quickly took care of the hollow and raced towards her, "Rukia! Give me your hand!" she reached up, he gripped her hand in his, "Now the other one," she hesitated, "Rukia! I won't let you go! I promise! I will NOT let you go!" She let go of the building and he grabbed her hand, "Now, I'll pull you up!"
Rukia sat on the bed, "It's ok if I sit here, right?" "Yeah," Ichigo entered the room, "You alright, Rukia?" "I'm fine," he sat next to her, "You sure?" "Yes Ichigo, I'm fine," there was silence for a moment, "Ichigo? Wen you said you wouldn't let go of me, will you NEVER let me go?" "Never," "Are you sure about that?" "Yeah, why?" "Nothing," "No, tell me, why?" "It's no big deal," "I want to no," "Wat if... I left, even if it wasn't my fault, would you still always be there wen I needed you," "Rukia, I wouldn't have to be, because I would rescue you, I'd bring you back with me, I would never let you go," "But wat if-" "No, there is nothing that could happen that would keep me away from you, remember? You already tried that and I came after you, didn't I?" "Yes," "And I rescued you, didn't I?" "Against my will but, yes," "Hey Rukia, um, if I had rescued you the first time, on the bridge, how much trouble would you have given me?" he layed back on the bed, she glanced at him, "Wat do you mean?" she asked, then copied him, "You no, you were being all 'Don't rescue me! Go home!' and stuff, if Byakuya hadn't had been there I would've dragged you away kicking and screaming," "Mm, well, I wouldn't have been that difficult, I think I would've calmed down for the most part after we were off of that bridge, if we were already gone and if you had proved how much you wanted to save me- wich you did- there would've been no point in resisting, you obviously weren't going to let me go, and you're twice my size so I could'nt exactly have escaped," Ichigo grinned, "Yeah?" "Yeah," "And wat about, if I had won before they took you back to Soul Society?" "Would I have had a choice?" "I mean, well, would you have been all depressed and suicidal?" "Probbably not," "Rukia?" "Hm?" "So, are you ever going to leave again?" "No, why?" "Just asking," "Why would I leave?" "Just asking," "Ichigo," she said in a warning tone, "Alright, I'll tell you if, and only if, you tell me why you think I would abanden you, deal?" "Deal, you first," "You first," "Play for it?" "You're on," they played a quick game of Rock, Paper, Sicors, Rukia won
"Ok, I had this really weird dream the other day, you were crying and, you said we would meet again, then you left," "Ichigo, that'll never happen, I think I've learned my lesson," "Wat do you mean?" "The last time I left was hard enough, I don't think I have the heart to do it again," "And you?" "I had a dream that Brother took me away to Soul Society, then five years later I was cornered by hollows and you weren't there to save me, stupid, I no," "Not stupid," "That must be a first in your book," "Rukia do you really think I mean all those things?" "You say them enough," "Then are you saying that all those insults towards me are real?" "No," "See? I just do that stuff ecause I lo- um, because I'm an idiot," "Well I'm aware of that but, wat were you going to say?" "Nothing, never mind," "If you tell me, I'll tell you a secret," "Fine, I uh, well, I, love you, ok?" Rukia blushed slightly, "Cheater," "Huh?" "No fair, I was going to tell you that I loved you first, Cheater, haven't you ever heard of 'Ladies first'?" "Wait, were you referring to yourself?" Rukia glared at him, then she smirked, Rukia climbed ontop of him and said, "Haha, very funny," then she bent down and kissed him softly,

Nothing But You

It was at that moment that she felt the smallest bit of releif, for a split second, her death was postponed, at first she was almost desprete to die, almost desprete in wanting him to leave, afer all, as if this wasn't irritating enough, she was hot, very hot, as the embers licked her face, but as soon as she was in his arms she felt safe, she suddenly wanted to live again, she had something, someone, to live for, and although she'd never admit it, for a few moments, and for one of the very few times in her life, she had difficulty holding back her tears, she felt overwelmed in serenity, it didn't last long, atleast, she acted like it didn't, but everytime he touched her, it was all too difficult not to instantly relax and settle her mind around nothing at all, except him ofcourse, it had been a hard day for her, for everyone, and after everything had calmed down and they were alone, he kissed her, and it felt like her mind had exploded, she finally understood this feeling, this strange feeling, like time had stopped, like the only thing that ever existed were him and her, she had heard that feeling being discribed in many ways, but never dreamed that it actually felt this good, she had heard about this feeling, that it's just him and her and a world of bliss, and that there was nothing she could see except his face, nothing she could hear but his heart and her's beating in unison, and feel nothing but him, she had heard it all, in the many books she read (all romance ofcourse) but she had never dreamed that it could actually do that, she always thought that it was the mind of a dreaming writer, but no, this was actually it, that's actually the way it felt, like indiscribable bliss, being kissed by the one you loved, she felt like it could stop her heart, she didn't want that moment to end
How? How was it possible? How? She must have some kind of radar! That's the only explination to explain it! That everytime he stepped out, he always came back to find her curled up on his bed asleep, (there was however the one exciption; the time she pretended to sleep and then kicked him in the face) but I mean this was ridiculouse! He was gone for only 20 minutes! He looked over at the site on his bed for a moment, let's see, a midget spread eagle on the bed, lightly holding the new book that she was reading, it was open to the last page ("THE END" was printed in bold at the bottum,) it was the book that had just been released yesterday that she (apparently) had "borrowed" from his sisters, (either she was an amazingly fast reader or she stayed up ALL NIGHT, probbably both, I mean she blew through 750 pages in a day! Yeesh!) an iPod was on the floor, had he left it there? And all in all the only thing really out of place was the midget that was in his bed, why? Why did she like his bed so much? Why?! She was like a puppy only alot less innocent, well, he might as well wake her up so he wouldn't be accused of letting her sleep there
It was strange, suddenly the irrisistable bliss was fadeing, she tried to keep a hold of it, but she couldn't, "Rukia," she heard him call repeatidly, she finally realized that it was all a dream, a luxuriouse dream that she didn't want to wake from, if she could only steel back that moment of bliss long enough to nail every detail into her memory, then she would let it go, but she just didn't want to return to the aching reality, everything in the dream had felt too real to escape from, and now that that feeling was burned in her memory, now that she understood the how there was a possibility of feeling that way, she would always want it, dream or not, imagined or not, she still FELT it, even if it was only her mind, tricking her into feeling it, she still FELT it, and that, regardless of imaginary and reality, was more than enough proof that that feeling could exist, because after all, feelings exist only in your mind, so if she could imagine feeling that way, then there was nothing to tell her that that feeling wasn't real, and that meant more to her than anything, but now was a new feeling, she was no longer in a world lost with him and nothing else, she could no longer feel nothing but him, reality had bitten and pulled her back all too soon, she could feel her body again, before it was light as air and no feeling except that indiscribable bliss had existed, but she could feel her body again, she could feel the bones as they twitched to life, feel the muscels under her skin, and strangely, she felt them hurt, she felt sore and it must've been from the sleeping position, although this was certainly not the first time she had awoken with sore, stiff muscels, but then she noticed, she heard his voice, "Come on Rukia! Wake up! Ughhh! How deeply can one midget sleep?!" Oh how she did NOT want to wake up right now, but then she felt something else, she felt pressure on her shoulders, and she didn't have to even think before she figured out the pressure, it was his hands, and even though she was absolutly certain that he was just shaking her awake, it felt good, like he was purposely working the kinks out of her body and soothing the skin on her back, she couldn't stop from smileing, her eyes remained closed, but she still smiled, "That feels good," she murmmered, honestly not expecting that he would hear her, "Really? You seriouse?" he asked, her eyes shattered open, she was already on her stomch and it slightly surprised her to feel his hands sart to work delebritly on the tense muscles in her shoulders and upper back, "Yeeesh! You are TENSE! Wat does a midget like you have to be so tense about?"
She didn't answer his question, "Hey, you don't have any plans for the rest of the day do ya'?" "No, why?" "Because it'll take all day to get the kinks outta you!" "Tch, Shmuck," she wispered, then she thought about his statement for a moment, and then it hit her, did he mean that he would work on her all day? (Well surely it didn't take that long but the point was understood) Just because she had said it felt good? He would make her soft again just because he could feel the tense kinks under his fingers? Why? That question suddenly began to ring in her mind, but she found it difficult to think about anything right now, she felt almost as good as she had in the dream, she couldn't think, her mind was completely obbsessed with him, she could only feel him, and the soft deep breaths coming from her mouth, she felt like she was in a trance, she barely felt his hands work their way down to the middle of her back, but she only noticed that she was becoming more relaxed, she felt the balls of his hands dig into her skin, it felt absolutly irrisistable,
It felt sort of strange, he could feel the tense kinks of her muscels under his fingers as he worked, he could feel them losen with each gentle caress, he worked his way to the small of her back and worked the few tight muscels there before moving back up to her neck, the way she was so quite and still, he could swear that she was asleep, but wen his hands left her and she turned her head and got up he pretty much understood that she was awake, she turned to him, her eyes looked somehow brighter, and she said, "Do you want one too?" he grinned,
She could feel how stressed out he must be, as she worked the last kink from his neck, her hands lifted off of him, he sat up, she woundered if it had felt the same to him, he had been burried in the thought of her, most likely not, but it was still fun to wounder, "Rukia," he wispered, she stared at him with untame eyes, she inched closer and her hand slid onto his face, then the other, and before he had time to say anything, she wispered, "Shut up, Ichigo," and she pressed her lips against his, at first she felt nothing, but then she felt him kiss back, and she woundered the last that she could as he overtook her, 'Am I still dreaming?' it certainly felt like the dream, there was nothing, empty, there was nothing but him, nothing else at all, if she had been able to think she would've woundered if there was even her, she couldn't find anything but him, and it felt like there wasn't even the world anymore,
It felt the same for him, the diffrence was that he had never felt this before, not that he hadn't dreamed of this moment, he just didn't dream that it would be like this, there was nothing but her, he could see nothing but her face, hear nothing but her heart and his beating in perfect unison untill they sounded like one, untill they sounded like there was only one heart beat, but he was sure that there were two, he could feel nothing but her, her lips, her hands, her everything, neither wanted this moment in time to end, but then they both started going blue in the face and had to break apart, she released him, and he let her go, for a very long time, neither of them spoke, they couldn't speak, and he finally said, "Wow," "Wow yourself," "Rukia," he pulled her forward a little and slowly started caressing her face as he said, "I love you," she leaned into him and wispered, "I love you too," she waited and allowed him to take her back to that blissfull place, she felt nothing but him,

Feeling Of Comfort

"Rukia just let me protect you!" Ichigo yelled, "But why should I wen I can protect myself?!" Rukia protested, standing up, "Rukia! Have you ever considered that I just want to protect you because I can?! Or because I want to?!" "Wat do you mean?" "I mean, yeah, you CAN protect yourself, but, I want to protect you, and, you're hurt right now, so can't you just let me protect you?" Rukia sat back down on the bank, "Fine, do wat you want," Ichigo grinned and Rukia smiled, before he took off to destroy the hollow,
She was in pain, the chains were tight, she saw a man suddenly standing over her, he seemed familar, but she didn't really reckognize him, then he took out his sword, 'Must be my exicutioner,' she thought, she saw him steady his grip and swing his sword down, she closed her eyes, waiting for the swift pain of death to take her, but it never did, she opened her eyes, one at a time, she wasn't dead? She wasn't in pain anymore either though, the man smiled and nelt down to her level, she sat up, noticing that the chains had been broken, he reached his hand out to her face, she flinched slightly, the man chuckled softly, "Did you really think I was going to hurt you?" he asked, his voice was deffinatly familar, she watched as he undid the chains around her neck and then hestarted the rest of the cains that entangled her body, she watched him with curiouse eyes, as he worked, he seemed happy to be helping her, she finally gathered the courage to speak, and asked, "I don't understand, why are you helping me?" the man looked as surprised as she felt wen he started smileing again, he had a pretty smile, he had pretty eyes, he was a very beautiful man, "That's a pretty stupid question," he stated, working at the chains on her ankles, he was fast too, and apparently strong, "Why wouldn't I help you, Rukia?" she looked at him curiously, "Well, who are you? I mean, do I no you or something?" he looked at her again, like she was being really weird or something, "Are you ok? I mean, did you hit your head or something?" he was still smileing, he was laughing a little bit, "Um, no, I think I'm fine," "Well you must have amnesia then," he said, "Why? Do I no you?" the man finished undoing the chains and petted her head, stroking her hair, "Uh-huh," "Who are you?" "Figure it out on your owne," he said, finally removing his hand from her hair, he stood up, "Well come on," he said, "Um, I no this sounds kind of crazy but, I still can't get up," he smiled, "So I can help you then?" "Um, I guess so," his smile grew and he offered his hand, she hesitated, but slipped her hand in his, and stood up, they started walking, he still hadn't let go of her hand, "Um, this is sort of strange, it seems that you help me just by touching me," "Yeah, I no," he let go of her hand and curled his arm around her, she suddenly felt stronger, and suddenly her wite dress changed into her Soul Reaper robes, she looked up at him and realized something, just all of a sudden she realized who it was, "Ichigo," "Hey ya' finally figured it out," he said, pulling her closer and walking with her, she could feel his strength flowing into her,
It was dark outside, it was almost raining, but not yet, Rukia climbed out of the closet, "Hey Midget," Ichigo greeted from his bed, he was reading his manga, in his Nice Vibe t-shirt and jeans, Rukia walked over to him and sat down on the bed, he looked at her for a moment before returning to his manga, then she layed down on his chest, he looked at her for a wile longer, "Hey, uh, wat'cha doin'?" he asked nervously, she didn't respond, her upper body draped over him still, "Rukia?" "I had a weird dream last night, I liked it though," she said, Ichigo put down his book and curled his arm around her, "Yeah? Wat was it?" Rukia giggled a little, "I was trapped and in pain and you saved me," "Oh," "Ichigo? Do you hear that?" "Hear wat?" "That, thump thump, thump thump, thump thump, it's your heart, I like it," Ichigo stroked her hair, "Thank you Ichigo," "For wat?" "For being here, for comforting me, thank you," Ichigo smiled, "No, thank you, Rukia, for changing everything," Rukia rose up and steadied herself on her hands, he felt the heels of her small hands dig into his chest , it didn't hurt, it actually felt kinda good, she moved her hands to grip his shoulders and kissed him lightly on the lips, he wrapped his hands around her and pulled her down on top of him, he played with her hair, weaving his fingers in and out of it, she held onto him, and wen breath became neccecary and they had to come up for air, they smiled, "I love you Rukia," Ichigo said, "I love you too, Ichigo," Rukia replied, and layed her head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her close to him, both of them feeling soft comfort in eachother

The First Frost

'"Ichigo! Ichigo! Help! Help me! Please! Ichigo!!! Please, help me, Ichigo," Rukia's voice rang loudly, before quiteing down, she stopped struggling against the black ribbions that pulled her away, "Rukia! Rukia! RUKIA!" Ichigo yelled after the fading girl, for he was bound by chains, and unable to reach her, the blackness quickly pulled Rukia away, but not before Ichigo saw a singal tear run down her gentle cheek, and as she became a memory, that singal tear dropped to the ground, *splash,* it went, it was a soundless thing, and yet to him, it sounded like a building crashing down around him, 'I couldn't save her, I couldn't stop that tear, I couldn't, I couldn't, and she gave up, she just, let it happen, and there was nothing I could do!' Ichigo thought, tears begining to stream from his amber eyes, as the chains tightened around him, then let go completely, he fell to his nees, "Why, Rukia? Why did you give up? Why did you let them have you?" he choked, now beging to go into hystariea, "Why?! Why, RUKIA!?!!!"' Ichigo woke up, he could feel that his skin was cold, just feel it, "Was'the'matta?" Rukia yawned slowly pulling aside the closet door, "Nothing, go back to sleep," she shrugged and closed the door, "And please, don't cry anymore," Ichigo wispered, she didn't hear him, and he new that she wouldn't, but he said it anyway, wat a frightening dream it had been, he looked over to his window, it was pretty foggy, it was, after all, only 20 degrees outside, and in the closet... Rukia wasn't asleep, she was too deep in thought to sleep, thinking about the day, Ichigo had taken her skateing, she had never been skating before, or rather, she had never been Roller Skating before, needless to say she wasn't a natural at it, but wen she saw the frozen pound, 'Ichigo? Let's skate on the pound,' 'You wanna go ice skating? Ok, but it's alot harder than this,' but not for Rukia it wasn't, she actually was pretty good at ice skating, it had been a pretty good day, no hollows even, so then, why would Ichigo have a nightmare? But this, not even Ichigo himself could answer,
The next day, Ichigo woke up to music playing, he opened his eyes and looked over at Rukia, who was fully clothed and currently hanging a small radio upside down, and shaking it, "Wat're ya' doin'?" he asked, just waiting for the amusing explination that was sure to come, "This thing plays music," she stated, "Yes, I no," "How?" "Don't ask, it's called a 'radio' why did you turn it on if you didn't no wat it did?" "Because, I wanted to see wat it did," "How did you no it wouldn't electricute you, or a little door wouldn't open and a little viciouse creature pops out?" "I didn't, I assumed it," "Never assume anything, you can guess, but never assume," "Why?" "Bad luck," she nodded, "Wat's the song playing now?" "Hana Kagari," "Flower Bonfire," "You speak Jappenesse?" "Kind of," "Wat's Soul Reaper in Jappenesse?" "Shinigami," "Wat about, Idiot," "Baka," "And enemy?" "Teki," "Wat about-" "I'm not a dictionary! Wen you actually need to no wat something means, then you ask me, Baka!" "Nice goin'," "I'm aware," Ichigo rolled his eyes, Rukia walked over to the window, Ichigo took this oppertunity to change, she looked out and saw Orahime walking down the street, Rukia opened the window, "Hey!" she said, Orihime looked up, "Hey Rukia!" Orihime also spoke Jappenese, "Doshda ue?" "Doshde orera houjin?" "Watashiwa tikimase ketsubou Baka tame hia," " Sokene, doshdano?" "Eo, watashiwa ketsubou Baka tame hai senpou baka," "Oh, adyu," "Adyu," Rukia closed the window after waving goodbye to Orihime, (by the way, the conversation was: "Wat's up?" "Why are we speaking Japanesse?" "I don't want the idiot to hear us," "Is that so, Wat's wrong?" "Oh, it's ok! I want the idiot to think he's crazy," "Oh, well then, goodbye," "Goodbye,") "Why did you do that?" Ichigo asked her, "I want you to learn Jappanesse," "Watever," Rukia walked over to him, "You no something?" "Wat?" "If it came down to it, you'd be stuburn to the end, wouldn't you?" "Well yeah, but were did that come from?" Rukia grabbed Ichigo and embraced him tightly, "Nowere, just asking," "Ok," he put his arms around her, "Wat's the matter?" he asked, "Nothing, I just felt like this," "Ok," he stroked her hair, lightly pushing her head a little more into him, Rukia closed her eyes, "You're acting kinda weird today, you sure everythings alright?" "Yeah, I'm sure,"
'The next day, Rukia transformed into a Soul Reaper and jumped out of Ichigo's window, destroying the hollow with the flick of her rist, "Rukia, it's all ready over?" Ichigo asked, "Yeah, pretty easy," "I see, so then there was no need for me to transform and follow you, is that right?" "That's right," Rukia's eyes got wide, "Ichigo! Watch out," Rukia jumped in front of him, taking a direct hit from the hollow, but still maneging to get rid of the beast, she fell slowly, into Ichigo's arms, it seemed that the fall lasted a centurary, for Ichigo, "Rukia? Rukia? Are you ok? Rukia?" he was begining to sob now, Rukia's violet eyes fluttered open slowly, she smiled, "You're alive, I'm so happy," she stroked his chest softly, "Ichigo, thank you for everything," "No, don't do this! Don't give into this!" "Ichigo, goodbye," she closed her eyes as they began to deaden, and her soft hand slipped from his chest, "Rukia? Why can't I ever protect you? Why? Why am I not aloud to protect you? Rukia? Why?" this time he didn't yell her name, but only wispered it to himself, "Rukia," the mere sound of her name reflected her beauty, and reflected her true self, but now, no one would say that name, the sylabals rang in his head for the last time, as he hung his head, and flooded the streets with tears,' Ichigo woke up sartled, 'How many times am I going to have such awful nightmares?' the sun was already up, and so was Rukia, "I'm the first up again I see," she said getting out of the closet, "Rukia," "Yeah?" "Nothing, I just wanted to say it," "And you said I was acting weird, is something wrong?" "No," Rukia crossed over to him, with a "Wat is with you?" kind of look on her face, suddenly her Soul Phone rang, she rolled her eyes and transformed into a Soul Reaper, she jumped out the window to tail the hollow and Ichigo went after her, wen they came across the creature Rukia said, "I've got this one," Ichigo jumped up slayed the creature in one swing, wen he landed Rukia jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head, "Ow," "You Bonehead! I said I had that one!" "I was trying to protect you!" "From wat?! I was in no danger!" "Everytime we come across one of these things there's always danger!" "I no that! It's our job, Idiot!" "I no that! I just wanted to protect you!" Rukia's eyes softened, she stepped a little closer to him, she stood up on her tip-toes so that she could reach him, she put her hand to his head and then to her owne, "Your head's hot, do you have a fever?" "No," Rukia touched his head again, Ichigo lightly grabbed her rist, and slowly pulled it down, he jerked on it lightly, pulling her into an embrace, "Ichigo, wat's the matter? Is something wrong?" "Everything is fine, I just wanted to prove to myself that I could protect you," "Ichigo, you've protected me loads of times, wat are you talking about?" Ichigo picked her up and jumped into his window, he set Rukia down on the bed, and sat next to her, "Ichigo," "I no I've been acting strange, but, I've felt like I couldn't protect you lately," "Why is that?" "I guess, because the last two nights, I've been having nightmares," "About me dieing?" "Yes, I don't really understand why I've been having these dreams, but, I have," Rukia's Soul Phone rang again, "I won't answer it, let someone else take care of it," "No, go ahead," Rukia lifted the phone out of her pocket and read the signal, "It's right outside," she stated, leaping out of the window, Ichigo looked down for a moment, before rushing after her, she leaped up to strike at the hollow, but it slammed her against the wall, "Rukia!" she got up, blood trickling down the side of her face, she ran at the beast and took off one of it's arms, it roared in pain as she jumped up and struck down the hollow, she resheathed her sword, "Are you ok?" Ichigo asked as she walked over to him, the pair jumped up in the window, and returned to their positions on the bed, "You were saying?" "I was saying, that I need to fix that wound," Rukia rolled her eyes as he worked at the cut on her forehead, "Honestly, wat were you saying," "I was saying that, I must be in love with you, because I've never felt this way about anyone else, I've never wanted to protect anyone else as much as I want to protect you, so, wat do you say? Do I sound like an idiot?" "This should answer your question," she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips, he pulled her closer, and the kiss deepened, and became more passionate, wen they broke apart for air, they still remained close enough for their heads to touch, "So do you love me?" "Yes, you little fool, I love you," those words rang sweetly as they graced her lips, "I'll make a wish on this cherry blossum bonfire, that you'll tell me you won't leave me alone, that this warmth in my hand, is not a dream," Rukia said softly, they were some of the lyrics to "Hana Kaggari" Ichigo gripped her hand, "I won't leave you alone," he said, "and this is defenitly not a dream," Rukia leaned her head on his shoulder and gazed towards the window, "Look at that," she said, "the first frost,"
