A DIFFERENT PUNISHMENT
CHAPTER 1
A/N: I Had the sudden Urge to Do this, Don't worry I'm going to commit myself to this fic instead of abandoning it after 1 Chapter, What if there was an Option For Rukia after she gave her powers to Ichigo? Read and find out what I mean…Also READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH, At first It May just look like a novelisation of Episode 1 & 2 But read TO THE VERY END, KAY?! Enjoy My Fellow IchiRuki fans
"You Must Take my Zanpakuto and Ram it through your heart, I Will Transfer half of My Soul Reaper Power! And That way you will attain the power of a Soul Reaper Temporarily and will be able to fight Hollow's on Equal Terms"
"Is it really ok to do something like that…?"
"Yes, There has been 4 before me that have done the same thing, But this is a plan set up anticipating your high spiritual Pressure, The Percentage of Success is not high…It fails…Then you die…BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!! THERE IS NO TIME TO BE DEBATE!"
The Orange haired Teen Pondered for a few moments
"Give me that Sword Soul Reaper, Let's give this Idea of yours a try"
"It's Not Soul Reaper…It's Rukia Kuchiki"
"I see…I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, Let's Pray this doesn't Become the Last Greeting…for the Both of Us"
"Last Greeting?…Oh No, I left out the Most Important part, The Punishment for transferring my powers…"
Before she could Alert Ichigo of the major Punishment that this will cause He Jammed the Blade through his heart, The Next Thing she knew, There Stood Ichigo wearing Black Soul Reaper Robes (A/N Sorry I don't Actually know what there called? Shohakshos or Something?) And There she was, Now in a White Kimono
"How Could…It was Only Supposed to be Half…But all of My Power was taken…"
"Furthermore this Feeling…That Time….I can't feel it's presence anymore…it's like an Invisible filter is out there…How Could I Not Noticed it until now!! It is as if a great Power is Hindering my Senses, IT WAS HIM! That Room was Filler with Spiritual Energy Pouring out of Him…That completely confused my Senses…!"
Ichigo Immediately went to Work, Severing the Hollow's Limbs
"I have Never seen a Human that Could See Soul Reapers, I've heard of them but never laid upon them with my own eyes…I've Never Seen a Human defeat Hollows and I have never seen such a Huge Zanpakuto!"
"Realise the Mistake of messing with my Family, You Ugly Bastard!" The Teen Screamed at the Hollow
Rukia looked on in awe the Orange Haired Teen Split the Monsters face in half.
"Who Is he…Well I will know soon enough….After all the Punishment means…."
GOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOORNING ICHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGO!
"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!"
The Teen jumped out of bed, Caught his fathers head and slammed it into the ground, Almost as if it was daily routine
"You Bastard…Got a Luts of Guts to attack your own son as he sleeps" Ichigo said as he tightened his grip on his fathers skull
"You are getting good! I taught you well my son!"
"You…What Happened to your Injuries, And Karin and Yuzu!, What about them?!"
"Injuries? When Did I get Hurt?" Isshin asked
Outside, 5 Minutes Later
The Left wall of The Kurosaki Clinic had a huge gaping hole in it, Ichigo knew this was caused by the hollow, But For some reason his Family insisted it was caused by a -
"Truck!" Isshin shouted"It's a Miracle, For a truck to crash into the house and for nobody to get injured!, Though it's more Miraculous that nobody woke up!"
"Oh Brother! Breakfast is Ready!" Yuzu chanted
"Yeah Right, thanks to that, The Criminal got away" Karin said "What is with this family"
"What's going on…Everyones wounds are healed…and they think the Damage to the house was an Accident. Did that Soul Reaper…Rukia somehow do this…where is she anyway? Did she go back to that soul society place…I Hope Not…To be Honest I Kinda like her…What the hell?! I just Met this Woman and now I'm having romantic thoughts about her?! What the F-"
"Oi, Ichigo, If you stand there daydreaming you're gonna be late for school" Isshin said
KARAKURA HIGH SCHOOL 10:34 AM
"A TRUCK?!" Tatsuki shouted as Mizuiro explained what had happened to Ichigo's house" Then Is he Injured!? or Dea…"
*SMACK*
"I'm not Dead"
Tatsuki turned around, To find Ichigo with his bookbag (The same one he had hit her with) in hand
"Sorry to disappoint you but no one was Injured"
"Ichigo!" Orihime shouted in Glee, Ichigo gave her a weird look "G…goo goo good morning!"
"Y…? Yeah…You look happy as always Inoue…" Ichigo said as he took his seat
"So you came?" Mizuiro asked "Were you helping out with the repairs?"
"What's 3rd Period?" Ichigo asked, Ignoring Mizuiros Question
"Social Studies" Mizuiro replied
"Ooshima's In that Class isn't he? I swear to god if he tell's me to dye my hair once more time I'll-"
"Hello, You're Ichigo aren't you?"
Ichigo turned around to the unfamiliar voice, His eyes widened when he set his gaze upon the culprit
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rukia, Rukia Kuchiki"
"…You!" Ichigo shouted
"Hmm? You Know The New Transfer student Ichigo?" Mizuiro asked
"Why No, We've never met is that right Ichigo?" Rukia said
Rukia lowered her palm revealing some writing on it
"Major Problem, meet me outside after Class, P.S Please, Please don't be mad"
"Don't be mad?" Ichigo thought "She Must be in some sort of trouble…"
"Uh…Hi there" Ichigo said, playing he along with her act "Nice to meet you too"
AFTER CLASS, OUTSIDE
"Leading me to an Empty Place, What Dost thou intend to do with me?" Rukia said in her fake schoolgirl voice (A/N: In The Manga Rukia uses an Old Fashioned, Rude tone with her school girl voice, which is what I'm doing here)
"Alright, Time to Explain"
"You Catch on quick" Rukia said in her real voice with a sigh
"Isn't your job over? How come your in my class and you didn't go back to that soul society place?" Ichigo said even though he was kind of secretly pleased that she didn't leave, not that'd he admit it
"There's two reasons for that. First, Only Soul Reapers can return to the Soul Society" Rukia said "Right now I am unable to return there"
"Huh? What do you mean…"
"It's Because…I Lost my powers"
"Wha!? B..But I'm not a Soul Reaper anymore, Where'd that power go?"
"Inside of you, It's not your Body your soul that has absorbed my power, Last night I lost almost all of my powers to you, I have barely any abilities left…I'm forced to stay in this Gigai"
"Gigai?" Ichigo asked
"It's an artificial body used by Soul Reapers for emergencies, A Weakened Soul Reaper enters it an waits for his or her powers to recover"
"So this body makes you a Human?" Ichigo asked
"Sort of, We Soul Reapers are targets for hollows, So we act like human" Rukia explained
"That's why everyone could see you. And I'm supposed to be mad?"
"What?"
"You said 'Please, Please Don't be Mad" Remember on your palm" Ichigo said
"Oh…well that's the second reason…you remember I said four people had done transferred there powers to humans before me?" Rukia said
"Yeah" Ichigo said "And?"
"Well those Soul Reapers had two options afterwards…"
"And those were?" He Asked
"The first Was Execution" She said as Ichigo's eyes widened
"What?!" Ichigo shouted "You mean they're gonna kill you?!"
"Well…that's if you don't want the second option"
"What?"
"You have to choose for me"
"I What?!"
"You have to choose one option, if you choose option one, I'll be hunted down and taken back to the Soul Society to be executed or-"
"I don't want you to die!" Ichigo shouted
"I Won't if you pick option two" Rukia said as a single tear dropped down her cheek
"What is it? I swear I'll do what it takes, I don't want them to kill you…." Ichigo pleaded, Clearly this was more than a crush, He didn't believe in love at first sight but To hell with that belief now
"Option Number 2…Is for us to be together in holy matrimony"
"W..What?"
"This is why I asked you not to get angry" Rukia said on the verge of breaking down
"So you and me…." Ichigo said
"If you don't want me to die….then we have to get Married"

DUN DUN DUN
Hooray for my first SERIOUS (Well mostly serious) Bleach fic, Let's face it, Who WOULDN'T Want to see Ichigo and Rukia get married? Well….The Ichihime & Renruki fans BUT TO HELL WITH THEM!, Anyway I don't know why but I just had the sudden urge to do this when I Re-Watched Episode one, If you watched the second half of that episode without the sound you'd think they were a married couple. Especially during the scene where Rukia gives Ichigo her powers, You'd think she was proposing or something, So yeah, I don't know whether or not to make this actually follow the story of Bleach or make it it's own unique story, Review Please, It keeps me going in life…which is pretty sad when you think about it, Oh well whatever,
P.S I Borrowed Most of the Dialogue and Setting from the Manga (Which I am currently reading since here in Britain the anime the Bount Ark just started *Shudders*) Which is why some scenes and dialogue may be different from what you know
EXAMPLE:
ANIME: Ichigo shows up at School, Kiego asks if a Truck Crashed into Ichigo's House, Ichigo says Yeah, Chad ask's if he needs help, Ichigo refuses, Rukia walks over
MANGA: Tatsuki & Orihime arrive at School, Tatsuki wonders why Ichigo is late, Mizuiro tells her about the Truck, She get's Worried, Ichigo Shows up, Talks to Mizuiro, Takes His Seat, Rukia Walks over
Chapter 2 will be started…sometime in the not to distant future
