Ichigo said smiling at the sky as Rukia disappeared from his sight, just like she was never there as he couldnt even feel her near him, nor any of the normal spiritual senses he had grown used to, it felt like someone had torn out part of him, it made him feel so empty inside..so cold, cold...why was he so cold? and why was he being shaken around./p

He cleared that obstacle of the day in about 7 minutes, his long legs and tall stature coming in handy, making him ponder joining track now that he had more time for school, not being a Soul Reaper and all./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"He rushed into first period with a couple minutes to spare, giving him time to look around, he spied Orihime, chad, and Uryuru in a group, but none of them looked his way, and he looked around some more, and was disappointed to not see Yume there. He nearly jumped as he felt a pair of hands reach up and over his eyes "Guess who?" Said a happy serene voice behind him./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Hmmm..could it be miss Yume?" He asked with a smirk, his heart lifted a bit more about that day as he turned around to accept the hug she gave, she seemed to be very touchy feely most days./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""Good guess." She said with a grin, letting go and stepping back./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Ichigo took a good long look at her, he felt he earned it. her narrow slightly fox shaped face seemed aglow with happiness today, her long blond, nearly white hair seemed to shine in the sun even brighter, making him wonder for a second if it was really all white, her bright blue eyes stared up at him the half foot apart they were into his, the normal mischief still there. She decided to wear a white blouse with a blue trim on the bottom and sleeves, along with a pair of regular tightfitting jeans./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Yume giggled a bit "Its rude to stare you know." She teased and began to walk to her desk, her rear swushing a bit like there was a tail there, and from her mood he guessed if she had one it would be wagging. He sighed as the bell rang, forcing him to head to his desk in the middle of the classroom, while Yume was in the front, nearly opposite in the classroom side from him. He hated how his only class with her was 1st and 3rd period P.E. During P.E he couldnt help but watch her run around the track with ease, bounding around in the girl's uniforms, making he distracted enough to run into a volleyball pole./p

He remembered she was joining them for dinner that night. "Hey, ready to go?" He asked her with a smile, she grinned back and seemed to nearly jump "Yup! am excited! whats your family like again?" She asked curiously./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"He did a inner roll "Umm..Well theres just my little sisters Yuzu and Karin, and my crazy dad..though am glad he hasnt been as crazy lately." He said with a shrug. She smiled "They actually sound like fun, more so then my house." He thought on that a second "What about you? Whats your family like?" He asked with a pleasant smile./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"She frowned a bit "Well..I dont live with my family, the only one am really close to is my mom, talk to her sometimes on the phone, shes fun, acts a bit too young for her age I think." She explained, looking down a bit. "Anyways lets get going, am excited!" She said happily, circling around him a bit. "Okay okay haha!" He said, walking along with her in the setting sun./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"In the walk home he thought for a second he saw something hazy in the wind as a cloud of dust passed a alleyway. ~Must just be dust..~ He thought, even though he felt something, but went back to enjoying his walk home with Yume.

She exclaimed. "ICHIGOOOO!" Yelled a booming voice as a man with crazy hair black hair, and a white doctors coat jumped from the roof, doing a small flip and trying to land a drop kick on Ichigo. Ichigo acked and reached up, blocking the kick with both hands and flinging his dad into the door "Dad! You almost hit Yume!" He nearly growled./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"His dad laughed and jumped up "Still on your toes I see, am so proud my son!" He yelled dramatically. "Is this the Yume we've heard so much about? nice to meet you! Am his father Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo she is quite-" Said Isshin before the door opened of the clinic and Karin and Yuzu stepped out, smashing Isshin's face with the door comically. "Dad stop bugging Ichigo's girlfriend." Karin said casually, making Ichigo's face blush up, along with Yume's./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;""K-K-Karin! We're we're.." He stuttered looking at Yume apologetically. She shoke her head "We're not together."
