Hey people.
This is the first fan fiction that I'm publishing. I'm sorry if there's a lot of stuff that I did not write the right way or stuff like that. I'm french and this is the first time I try to write in english. I could not do it in french, for some reason I imagine everything in englis. I'm open for some comments to correct me or even (that would really surprise me) praise me :P Hey, a girl can dream! Anyway, I hope that you enjoy!

Chapter I
The sound of the autumn leafs that's flying around me. They're trying to surround me, or is it a person? I have the impression that it's the second. The dead leafs are crush with no end around me. It's like the sound is coming from everywhere at the same time. I look for the person whose turning around me without much success. Does he/she want to scare me? Or do he/she doesn't want me to move for an inch? I'm not sure so I just turn around on myself just in case so I don't provoke him/her, but I'm not afraid of this person. I'm still trying to locate him/her, still, with no success. How is it possible to move so fast that I can't catch a glimpse? It's inhuman. All of the sudden, no sound can be heard. I stopped moving because I can see it. Brown eyes in the dark shadows of the trees, looking at me with intensity. My brain scream to run, but my body is not responding. I lost myself in those eyes that put a spell on me. I open my mouth to call it out but I heard the sound of my alarm clock?
I open my eyes and found myself in my bed with my alarm clock screaming beside me. Of course, it's just a dream. How could I think that it's reality? I probably read Twilight a bit too much yesterday and recreate the dream of Bella, my way. I switch off my alarm to be able to think clearly. A forest in autumn, a clearing, hazel eyes. My dream is still so vivid in my head. Usually, my dreams disappear when I wake up. A shower is going to clear my head. On my way to the bathroom, I try to not think of it, without success. Those eyes are so familiar to me, they haunt me. I know them, but I know so many people that have brown eyes... Asano, Hinamori, Chad... Too many people. I step in the shower and like usual, the hot shower remove everything that I was thinking. My dream and all that trouble go down the drain. I continue with my routine; brush my teeth, brush my hair (with a different brush of course), dress and do my lunch.
Before leaving my apartment, I stand before some pictures and look at them. One in particular.. The one of my sister; Hisana. It's been seven years already that she's not here anymore, but I don't want to forget her. Her husband says that I look a lot like her, physically anyway. That's probably the reason that he doesn't live with me now that she's no longer with us. I don't blame him. Who wants to live with the ghost of his wife? If it were me, I would do the same thing.
I take my bento and got out. I wake up early because that I like to walk to school. Of course I could take the bus, but let's say that I like better get the little time I have for fresh air. I took out the book that I'm reading presently; City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. I can permit myself to read while waking because in the early morning there's next to no one outside. It's not like people out in this time of day wants to bump into you. They are to busy going to were they want to go. But not everyone thinks like that. I was reading a good passage when Jace with Clary kissing even if they thinks they are brother and sister, when I found myself falling on the walkway. I was about to tell my way of think to this person who is responsible for interrupting this moment of peace when I saw who it was; Ichigo Kurosaki.
It's not that he intimidate me, far from that. I think I'm the only person on this planet, apart from his family, hat he can't intimidate. It's more that things are complicated between the two of us now. After Byakuya, the husband of my sister, left me to live in Tokyo, it's like Kurosaki wanted to get away from me. I don't get it. After that Hisana and Masaki died, we were always together. We support each other in the hard time, we had many laughs and cried. We were always together, so much that people around us though that we were hiding that we were going out. That was just stupid, by the way. And than, from nowhere, he was avoiding me and didn't want to talk to me. So, after a few weeks of that, I got the message and help him with that. I avoid him and didn't talk to him too. And don't think that it's a easy task. We have the same friends, love the same places, have the same classes. In short, it's not easy to be out of the way of the person that you were so close with since 7 years old.
Our eyes met. I saw that he have difficulty looking away and he's not alone. I probably don't have the same reason as him. My dream came back to mind. Those brown eyes were so familiar. They were more hazel then brown really. They were his! I'm sure of it! How could I not realize it earlier? I have look so much in those eyes before I should have realize it on the spot. But now that I look at them, it's not just the color, the feeling they give when he look at me. I mean, it's the same look they give when he think of his mom; Masaki. Why does he look at me that way? It's not related to what happen between the two of us. He never looked at me like that before. He did it when I was there but never at me directly.
He came out of it and I did too. He extend his hand to me, looking away from me. Typical. I took his hand so he could help me up. When I touch him he became rigid all the sudden. I didn't think a lot of it, I mean it's Ichigo after all. He never liked physical contact. He bring me to my feet and let go of my hand gently. I was waiting for a "Look where your going Midget." or "How many time I told you not to read when your walking around?" But nothing came. I saw Ichigo a few feet in front of me, walking without saying a word or a glance. Like we're going at the same place, I didn't have much choice but follow him.
We walk in the same direction in silence. I felt happy and sad at the same time. It's strange that two complete opposite emotions can go so well together. I realize than I missed his presence, not that I'm gonna tell him. But when you pass all your time with this person and suddenly you don't see them for a long time, when you see them again, you have that feeling of comfort coming back. That's what I felt. Even if he ignore me, for the first time in months, I felt good. Maybe it's because he know everything about me. I don't have to put all those walls up that I built all those years.
"Rukia!" I look up to see Tatsuki running toward us. She look a Ichigo in a strange way. "What are you doing Kurosaki?"
Ichigo didn't look at her and just keep walking without saying a word.
So, how was it? Did I make mistake? Anyway, feel free to leave so comments!
