Back Together

Disclaimer: The characters belong to Kubo-dono, the plot of this story belongs to me.

A/N: My first IchiRuki story and I don't know how this will end. I'll just write it all out and hope it's longer than a One-shot :D

Coming Home

Ichigo's POV

Rukia. There she was standing casually like the time we spend apart never existed. She looked different. Her hair was shorter. Her violet eyes were gleaming and she was taller. A bit taller. He had to admit, she looked stunning...like usual.

He smiled at her and earned himself from her a smile that was taking his breath away.

Rukia's POV

As she smiled at him she felt this warm fuzzy feeling that she felt everytime when she saw him smile, every time he smiled at her, his eyes got a bit warmer. She loved his eyes. Eyes that she could drown in. A little blush tinted her cheeks. She wanted to hear his voice, to make sure that he was really standing right in front of her, not even an arm lenght away. He didn't look like he was going to talk first so she took her chance. ''Hey, Ichigo long time no see.'' She watched as his smile got bigger and turned into a slight grin. ''Yo, how've ya been?'' He asked nonchalantly, she huffed, he hadn't changed a bit. ''I've been okay.'' I really tried to sound as cool and relaxed like Ichigo but failed, in my opinion. ''Ohhh, missed me?'' He teased me smiling. I couldn't do anything but to blush. ''N-No you fool!'' I tried to hide my blush but I think he saw it nonetheless. ''Ichigo I-'' I felt the strong reiatsu of Nii-sama pressing down on us. He was angry might I say, no downright furios. Suddenly I felt the weight of Nii-samas Reiatsu lifted off me and I was being engulfed by the warm feeling of Ichigo's Reiatsu. I looked over to him and saw his usual scowl on his face. He didn't even look at me, he watched Nii-samas approach with cold eyes. ''Byakuya''

said Ichigo with a nod in Nii-sama's direction who answered with ''Kurosaki''. For a while they were just standing there, looking/glaring at each other, until Ichigo broke the silence. ''What do you want, Byakuya?'' Nii-sama narrowed his eyes at the question. ''I just wanted to congratulate you for getting back your Shinigami Powers.'' I thought it was meant to be friendly but it definitely didn't sound like it. ''Thanks, I think...'' Ichigo just answered and shrugged. I bowed lightly as Nii-sama turned to me and gave me a look with his cold, hard and distant eyes. He turned and went away.

3rd Person POV

Ichigo and Rukia turned to one and another again, after some seconds breaking their gaze at eachother and both watching the other Shinigami - but mostly Kenpachi – fight against each other.

Ichigo smiled at the sight of the battlefield, just like old times he thought. He looked over to Rukia which turned her head towards him aswell. ''Wanna join them?'' He asked with a grin on his face.

''Sure, sure, but don't you overdo it, baka.'' she warned him. ''Tch, you're the one talking, midget.''

He just loved teasing her. ''Come on, let's get going.'' she said. After that, they both flash stepped away.

The fight was about to end, it was Rukia and Ichigo against Ginjo, Tsukishima and the others were defeated by the rest of the attending 13 Divisions. Which were watching the two reunited friends fight.

Ichigo was attacking Ginjo with his Getsuga Tensho, but Ginjo wasn't someone to back down easily so he tried to defend himself. It looked like both were equally in strenght but Ichigo had something up his sleeve or rather someone. He grinned as heheard herwhisper : ''Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! - Shakkahō!'' Ichigo managed to jump away just in time, unlike Ginjo who didn't seem to notice Rukia's attack until he had to feel it. ''Good one, Rukia!'' Ichigo told her as she ran to him. She smiled and gave him a thumps up.


''So, you're going to stay here?'' I asked. We were on our way home. ''Yes, looks like it.'' She answered smiling which got her one of my rare smiles. I was kinda... happy that she would be staying with me...err us again. But what should we do about her sleeping arangement? She was taller now so she most likely wouldn't fit into to closet anymore and she couldn't really sleep in the room of her sisters because the were in puberty and even had problems with sharing a room with each other, as much as they liked Rukia, they just couldn't share now. Che, moodswings. I looked over to Rukia and watched as she gazed at the moon, a dreamy look on her face. We were standing in front of the door and she didn't even seem to notice so I waved my hand in front of her face and watched as she turned her head to me and scowled at me ''What?'' she snapped. ''We're here, midget.'' I said, opened the door and, like a gentleman let her enter first but regretted it after I heard my father's scream. Like everyday he planed on surprising me with a kick in the face.

I had to react, fast. I did the only thing I could think of, I swear it had to do something with Hichigo I think I could hear him snicker but now was not the time to think of something so I pounced at her and watched as we both fell to the floor with me hovering over her, while I waited for her to scold me I heard my father crash into the wall. When he stood up and noticed who was with me he beamed with happiness and I could do nothing but to sigh. I felt a hand on my chest so I looked down and saw Rukia blushing ''I-Ichigo c-could you stand up?'' she asked and looked away. I heard my old man snicker behind my back so I got to my feet and helped Rukia up too.

''My third daughter you're back! Did my son molest you?'' he asked Rukia with a sorry voice as he hugged her to death. She looked over to me - still blushing I might add – and I could see her crying for help. ''Dad, let her go.'' I asked and watched Rukia relax when she noticed that she could breath again, I was about to speak to my dad when I heard my sisters. ''Rukia-Chan!'' they cried while they hugged her. I stood there, totally forgotten and sighed. ''Okay, I made dinner and I think it should be enough for everyone.'' Yusu said and guided us into the kitchen. Dad sat between Yusu and Karin while Rukia and I sat on the other side of the table. ''Are you going to begin, Ichigo?'' Rukia asked while she looked at me and I nodded.
