Authors Notes: Hello. This is my first fanfic! So, I would very much appreciate some helpful criticism. I don't really think the first chapter gives a good feel for the story that well.. But, thank you for looking at this story!


Chasing You Chapter 1

Rukia's POV

As I wearily opened my eyes, I caught the faintest sight of a figure walking past a partly closed-door. "Hello?" I asked barely above a whisper. Noticing that no one replied, I took a visual at where I was. I almost forgot... I'm 'home'.. My new home now.. There was a large, king sized bed under my buttocks, with a white, lavender, and a pale pink Chappy-faced comforter draped over my petite body. Across the room lie a dresser with a walk in closet towards the right. My walls, painted a light cream color, had pink and lavender flower petals decorated at the bottom of the walls, matching the comforter. On the left side of my larger-than normal room lie a black desk with a white Apple laptop and a lavender pencil-case parallel to it. Yeah. This is... 'home'... I wish... I wish Renji were here..

Regular POV

The raven haired 15-year-old sighed as she moved the comforter off and stepped out of the bed, standing on her white, Chappy-faced rug. She grinned while looking down at the smiling Chappy facing her way. Chappy was the only thing that made her sane in this hell-hole. Sighing again, she started walking towards her closet to find suitable clothing, instead of wearing the dark blue, silk, ankle-length night-gown her clothing maid picked out for her, for today was her meeting with her soon to be husband. Knock. Knock. Knock. Lost in thought, she continued staring at her closet door reminiscing her times when she was six, with Renji, Kaien, and her other friends, back in Rukongai, wondering if she sh-. The door opened abruptly, yet quietly revealing her maid, Yumi.

Yumi was only 22 years old, 7 years older than herself. She had long, silky, beautiful, brunette hair, draping over her shoulders, stopping mid-thigh. Her eyes were always the most sparkly, beautiful, green eyes, filled with excitement and happiness. But now, that was the complete opposite. Yumi's eyes had been filled with horror, shock, and desperation. As Yumi finished locking the 4 locks on Rukia's door, she stared back at her master's sister. "Yumi? Yumi, what is the matter?" Yumi shook her head. "Sorry for intruding on you Miss. Kuchiki." Yumi said hurriedly but quietly while bowing her head down. Rukia frowned at the formality, while wondering why she was rushing.

"I'll explain later Miss. Kuchiki." Yumi quickly and feebly said ignoring her frowning face. "Right now you need to go through the secret door and-"

"The secret door? But that's only used for emergencies. What has happened?"

"Miss. Kuchiki, I will explain later but rig-"

"Yumi. What. Has. Happened?"

Yumi stared at her for a couple of seconds in silence before she heard footsteps. She quickly covered the violet-eyed princess's mouth and stealthily dove underneath the black desk. She gently placed Rukia's finger on the transparent finger scanner to open the secret door, placed directly on the wall, underneath Rukia's black desk.

"Please, pipe down Miss. Kuchiki. I will explain this only once but very quickly. Behind this door are four doors, beyond each door after you will meet an obstacle. Whether it be an eye scan, a finger scan, or a particle of your hair, there will be four doors of different colors. Go through the dark red one on the far right first, beyond that door, go through the light blue door, then the white and black door. In that room, go behind the book case and type in the 19 numbered pass code. You will be in a room with multiple weapons. Grab some, then-" A male voice came from behind the doors.

"Hey! They're in this room!"

"Go now Miss, I shall not be able to come with you." "But-" Rukia began, but it was too late.

Yumi had shoved her in a dark, very cramped space. Rukia crawled through the narrow valley and she met with an eye-scanner. She put her right eye in front of the scanner and waited until the door opened from beyond the scanner. She barely made her way through the tight, cramped space, hardly large enough for even her to fit through.


"Look what we have here.. I wonder what we can do to this one..." A deep male voice said towards Yumi.


Exactly like Yumi had said, there were four doors that she was met with. The first door was a light green door, the next one was a white door with a Chap- "Chappy!" She quickly placed a hand over her mouth, hoping no one heard her. It was very un-lady like, but it could also get her killed. The door was white with a Chappy sticker, then there was a pink door, followed by a very, dark red one. Now which one did she say it was? I think... The raven- haired princess turned towards the pink one. No.. I don't think it was that one.. It was definitely not the Chappy one, she would have remembered that. Either the light green door.. or the dark red.. Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a tiger by its toe, if he-... Oh screw it. She slowly walked towards the dark red door, praying that it was the right door. Rukia breathed in a large amount of air and slowly opened the door.

She was surprised to see.. a completely empty room. Literally. Completely empty. Void of anything.. No mice, insects, nothing. At all... The walls were painted a bright white, almost blinding her. The floor... She couldn't tell what kind of floor she was standing on.. It was not wood, definitely not carpet, nor tile either. It was blank. Pure white. Okay.. Now I don't see a door anywhere.. How do I get into the other room Yumi was talking about? Rukia continued to stare around the room dumbly before actually taking a step. She scanned the room every few seconds, making sure she did not miss the slightest 'hint' of another scan machine.

A few minutes had passed before Rukia gave up and sat on the floor. She sighed again, laying down after another minute had passed. As she stared up at the ceiling, she noticed there was one speck. One little black dot, right above her head, mocking her like it was the most obvious thing to look up at the ceiling. She stood, and reached towards the dot, hoping to see if somehow, someway, that dot could help her out of this room. Damn it. About a foot and a half taller, the speck stayed on the ceiling of the small room. She jumped up, trying, but failing, to get a grapple on the stupid, black, speck. After about a millimeter away from capturing it, the speck moved. Only a little, but Rukia saw the dot move. It can move? Don't tell me.. It's... a fly? The fly flew away, landing on a very small crack, between the meeting of two walls, towards the bottom. Rukia crawled on her hands and knees toward the crack in the wall. She scratched her fingernail on the crack, peeling off an inch and a half of wallpaper. Pressing her index finger on the revealed spot, she gasped when the entire wall moved clockwise, disclosing another row of colorful doors. She took a hesitant step forward towards the other side, sealing the wall back to its original place, trapping her.

Rukia's POV

I looked around, taking in my new surroundings. The four doors that awaited before me now included a light blue door, a black door, a beige-colored door, and a gray door. Replaying the conversation in my head with Yumi-san, Go through the dark red one on the far right first, beyond that door, go through the light blue door... that's right! Go through the light blue door. How is it that I cannot remember what the first door looked like, but I can remember the second? Well, whatever.

As I walked towards the door, I stretched out my hand, grappling it, then twisting. This room was the complete opposite of the last room, the walls, ceiling, and tile floor were all a sleek black color, with a white stand in the center of the room. The brightly lit, artificial lights, made it look as if I were walking on air, as if there weren't a care in the world. Once I touched the white stand, an almost transparent, sky blue, table-like desk came out from the side of the stand, displaying a message. It read one word... avilas.

"Avilas? What could that mean?" It could be some hidden message.. Like in the Chappy the detective special that came on last Christmas! During the Chappy the Detective special, Chappy was faced with the evil Yppahc, when we later found out that Yppahc was his brother! And his brother's name was his name.. backwards! That's it! So.. Avilas backwards... S. a. l. i. v. a. Saliva! ...Saliva.. Ew..

Regular POV

Rukia's face scrunched up in disgust before she puckered up her lips and spit.

This triggered the next hidden door to unlock and open, right underneath the white stand. Rukia jumped in, hoping that this would not be too far down. 3...2...1... She landed abruptly, almost losing her footing. What stood before her now were.. another set of four doors. One black, another white, one gray, while the last one was black and white. Okay Rukia.. Just think back to the conversation you had not too long ago. The white and black door. In that room, go behind the book case, and type in the 19 numbered pass code... Okay then.. Black and white door it is.. As Rukia walked towards the black and white door she smelled an odor. She stopped in her tracks. Not any kind of odor.. but one that smelled like... Whatever. Probably just my imagination.. After stepping into the next room, there was one bookshelf. She walked over towards the bookshelf, keeping in mind that she had to type in the 19 didgit pass code, only Hisana and Byakuya, her sister and brother, knew besides herself. She looked at multiple titles of books. Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Titanic.. There it is! Bleach. Rukia pulled down the book as if it were a lever, successfully activating the bookcase to shift, revealing a scanner, with 10 digits. 7, 2, 6, 9... 15 numbers later, she found herself waiting anxiously to stop this maze.

What awaited in the next room was unbeknownst to her, but someone was waiting on the other side of the door.


Author's Notes: By the way, at the beginning, the figure walking past the door was one of the bad people, they were just too stupid to check her room! I hope this didn't move too fast paced.. Anyways, please ask if anything seems a little confusing, I will either reply to you, or reveal it in one of the chapters. Please review, all reviews are welcome! My aim is for 5 reviews before I upload the next chapter. Thank you again for taking your time to look at this! :)
