A Chance Encounter

Kuchiki Rukia. This girl has been… my best friend… since that fateful day 11 years ago.

The rain has always brought me back… to that day… the day my parents… abandoned me…

She hummed lightly as she walked down the street, hardly noticing anything with the music blaring in her ears, her black hair covered nearly completely by the hood of her rain coat, only one strange bang hovering in her face. As the lyrics to the song actually started she began to sing along with them, happy, despite the heavy rain around her.

"Kimi to deatte kara," she sang, light-heartedly. "Kokoro wa akaruku terasarete, Onaji jikan wo zutto sugoshite kita yo. Kimi ni—" She cut off as she noticed something strange out of the corner of her eye. "Huh?" She reached up, pulling her hood off as she stared at the young boy sitting in the rain, his orange hair matted down due to the rain. His hair was dishevelled, and his clothes looked like they hadn't been washed in months. His shirt and pants were almost ripped to shreds, and she could tell just by looking at him that he hadn't eaten properly in a long time. She pulled the headphones out of her ears as she turned off her MP3 player, and she walked closer to the boy.

"Hi there!" she called out, not even noticing the slight start the boy gave. His eyes widened, and the tears slowly stopped falling.

'Hm?'

Cautiously she poked her head around, curious. "Hey! Can you hear me?" The boy looked down, and she could see the tears trapped in the corner of his eyes.

"Y-yes…" She smiled, even though the boy seemed to have had a really hard time. He almost looked as if he wanted to die, but couldn't.

"I'm Kuchiki Rukia!" She was genuinely happy, her eyes a bright purple. The rain started to calm as she smiled at him.

"I-Ichigo." The tears started to build again, but he tried to fight them off.

"Ichigo who?" She was curious, she wanted to know more about the strange, dishevelled boy in the street.

"K-K-Kurosaki…" And he began to bawl, the tears pouring out of his eyes as if nothing could stop them.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Don't cry!" She was completely shocked as he continued to cry.

"B-b-but…" he wailed.

She smiled, an idea coming to mind as she tried to calm him down. "Hey, I know! Why don't you come stay with my family for a while?" His brown eyes narrowed as the tears stopped flowing.

"You're kidding, right?" He sounded like he really didn't believe her. Her wide violet eyes narrowed, and she placed her hands on her hips, her eyebrows arching down, she began to scowl.

"Well, aren't you a sceptic little brat!" she growled.

"Wh-what?!" He waved his hands in front of his face, his eyes wide, afraid of the girl's wrath. "No! I didn't mean offence! It… it's just…" His face looked absolutely depressed as he attempted to continue. "When you've been living on the streets as long as I have, you start to really distrust the strangers that actually talk to you, even if they seem nice enough."

Looking at him, her eyes softened, and she knew he was telling the truth.

"Oh… is that so… sorry…" She put a hand on his shoulder, lightly, not really caring that he was very grimy.

He looked up at her, curiously, still sitting on the steps, completely drenched. When he saw her smile, he almost smiled back. He looked down a bit, slightly embarrassed.

"Did you really mean it? When you offered me a place to stay?" He looked up, inquisitively, only to see her staring down at him, curiously.

"Hm?" She looked up, thoughtful, as if she didn't really know what he was talking about. "Well, I'd need to ask mom and dad, but, yeah, of course!" She gave a slight grin, scratching her cheek as she mumbled something else, "They can't say no to me, I'm only 5, after all."

This time the boy really did grin, and he looked really happy to have met her.

"Thanks so much!" He stood up, carefully, not really knowing what the girl would do when he stood. When he looked back at her face she was staring at him, her eyes wide, looking up, slightly. A small silence was broken only a few seconds later when she spoke once more.

"Whoa, you're tall! How old are you?" He shook his head, shrugging slightly, as he started to count on his fingers.

"One, two, three… four… five… uh… what comes after five?" She giggled slightly, and he scowled and glared at her, but she just shook her head.

"Six comes after five, silly." And she giggled again, much to his chagrin.

"Well, I guess that means I'm six, then?" She smiled.

"Wow, you're older than me, then." She grinned up at his scowling face. "I'm only five." She held up her hand, palm out, showing her five digits. He couldn't help but grin at the short female as she grinned up at him, her hand outstretched. She flipped over her hand, offering for him to take it as she led him back to her place. Little did he know the trouble he would gain from befriending the short black haired girl.

A/N: Aoi no Tenshi is actually the name of the manga I'm creating. It will follow the storyline of this story, and it's actually where this one comes from. Kitsune, Atsushi and Shizuru face trials and tribulations as they attempt to gather the friends that will save the world. It will be yaoi, yuri, and hentai!

Hiza: This one is gonna be put under Hichigo (Dark Ichigo) and Ichigo, although most of the pairings are heterosexual! There is one Yuri, and one Yaoi! Enjoy! And Read and Review! I'll post review responses in my next chapter!
