She hugged him from back. Seem like she doesn't want to lose him. She sobbed. Moreover, nothing he could help. Both of them know, can't go out from this scene. However, they know, they don't want to go out from this damn scene.

"Hey Strawberry…" Still she sobbed.

"What shortie?" He asked with annoying face.

"Would… W-w-would you let me…"

"Ha…?"

"Would you let me release you?"

"No. Just stay like now."

He turned back. Face her. Now, he can see her face, that full of tears on her cheeks, and wet his shirt. Everything he can do right now, just quite. Silent. Never forgive anyone that bothers them.

"Rukia, come here."

"I'm already here."

"Yeah, I know."

"So, why you asked me then?"

"Err…"

"Baka."

"Sh… Don't be annoying, now. It's not the right time."

She didn't answer him. She just holds his hand. Her face is blushing. So again, tears falling out. She lost her voice, her strength to stand by herself. She collapsed on his chest, yet holding his hand. She is crying, so he is.

"I don't want to go!" Rukia raised her face, look to Ichigo's eyes. Tears border on her eyes. "Ichigo… I really don't want to go." She whispered.

"I am, too."

"Ichigo, I…"

Ichigo just kissed Rukia. They both know they love each other, so they don't have to say that.

"Rukia, please don't cry. It hurts me a lot. You don't know that it beats my heart, every single tear!" Ichigo pleased. He still hugs Rukia.

Yea, of course, Rukia can hear Ichigo's heart is running. It makes more tears fall out from Rukia.

"Rukia, sh.. don't cry again."

"I want to stop! But…, these bastard tears always fall out…"

Then again, Ichigo hug Rukia. They sink in sad story; they've made by them self. But they don't feel it was a pain, to regret. No, they love this sad story, because they can feel this love.

"Rukia, I know you are strong."

"B-but…"

"You really like a whine girl, weak girl, coward, and pity kid."

"Shut up! I don't look like that!"

"Hey… I'm not yet done!"

Therefore, Rukia let Ichigo continue. She knows --or exact, she guesses—what will Ichigo say.

"But, you must be thanking for that! Because of that, I love you."

So much restriction they must pass. However, the biggest one: who really are they. Though they try ignoring what the fact is, it won't to be ignore. They love; they love each other.

Then Rukia whispered something to Ichigo's ear, "Promise to me, although after you married Orihime, you'll always love me. You'll always place me in your heart, and you'll never less any your love for me…"

"Yeah, but I won't marry Orihime. I'm going to marry Tatsuki. Well, I thought you know that Orihime with Ishida?"

"We aren't talking whose Orihime's boyfriend! You haven't promise to me!"

"Hey, don't be so selfish. You? How about you? You haven't promise to me, too. I won't promise to you, if you not promise to me."

"Okay, I promise to you. I'll always love you. Though I married with Shiro-chan. Satisfy?"

"So, do I."

He sighed. Let go Rukia from his deep hug. They see each other. This time will be the last meet for them. She needs to go, but he can't come with. The last decision is just saying…

Good-bye.

"Good bye orange-head."

"Yeah, good bye to you, too. Shortie."
