Just a drabble...I apologise if anyone else has done something similar, in which case I shall remove/change this.

Goodbye...
Karin felt something. Specifically, a lack of something, an enormous presence that had been strangely comforting.
Gone.
Unbalanced. That was the word for life now. Something was missing.
But what?
So Long...
Out for a walk with Ichigo, something that had come to be the standard after recovered from his coma. A surprisingly slow recovery for him. She saw Rukia, standing (of all places) on a telephone pole, in those now familiar black robes. She waves, and gets one in response, accompanied by a smile. Ichi-nii kept on walking though.
"Hey, Ichi-nii. Aren't you going to say hello to Rukia?" He looks at her, bemused. Rolling her eyes, she points. Turning, he smiles.
It doesn't reach his eyes. His eyes are looking in the general direction, but they skip about, like he doesn't really see her.
"Oi, midget. Doing alright?"
Rukia replies with a word that Karin notes, stores away for when the boys aren't focusing on the soccer game, and whistles. "Impressive, Rukia-san." Ichigo's smile grows bigger. Rukia smirks.
It still doesn't touch their eyes. If anything, they look sadder.
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you...
AN: Karin did get an explanation after. I just thought it best to cut it off there. Ichigo probably guessing what Rukia said, Karin confused at what in the world was going on...
R and R please! No flames, of course, but constructive reviews, random reviews, death threats, and a simple 'like it/hate it' works! Though, if you hate it, I want to know why. Or else...
