Yo! how's it going people! This is Winterfrost speaking. Hope you would have a great time reading my story! O_O
Droplets of water poured out of the sky and landed on Ichigo's soft orange hair, trailing down his forehead and dripping down his chin. It was raining and he had forgotten his umbrella when he left for school that morning. Days without Rukia are forlorn and dull. Nothing much happens now that Rukia had left for Soul Society. Looking up to the sky Ichigo closed his eyes and felt the rain drops hitting his face, "Rukia what are you doing over there?" With a heavy sigh He looked back onto the ground and dragged his feet across the wet pavement slowly making his way to his home.
"Ichigo ! Welcome back my son!" Isshin yelled at the top of is lungs as he send a flying kick at Ichigo who had just opened the door while his daughters sat on the dinning table waiting for the two to join them. Unlike the other nights where Ichigo would fight back, he just stood there receiving the full force of the kick and walked into the house as if nothing happened. Isshin had realise the drastic change in Ichigo's attitude ever since Rukia left them, his daughters too changed after her departure. The house was never as cheerful as it was when Rukia was around. "Ichigo dinner is ready!" Yuzu cried in her usual tone. "Not hungry," He replied soaking wet he went up the stairs to his room for a change of clothes. Slowly twisting the doorknob he looked at the window and memories started flowing back into his mind. This was where he had first met her. Peeling of his wet uniform and tossing them to the ground he put on a white shirt with a single orange stripe across his chest and a pair of his usual jeans. He laid down on his bed staring at his ceiling, thinking back at the time when they first met.
"Haaa!" Rukia yelled as she vertically slashed a hollow in half. Spending years with Ichigo had influenced her that now she began yelling every time she lands her finishing blow. The hollow dissolves in the air and soon disappeared. Hunting down hollows are not much fun like it used to be. In Soul Society everything was so peaceful excluding the visits if random hollows. Rukia missed the constant arguments In the Kurosaki household, it was entertaining. Everything seemed to be so alive. (Although she is dead and all but you get what I mean) Renji is always there to play with her but somehow it just does not feel right. It is as if there is still a gap in her heart. "Rukia, the commander wishes to see you," a messenger shinigami suddenly appeared in front of her receiving no responds the messenger cleared his throat, making Rukia jump. "Uh Right I better get going now, thank you," Rukia shakily replied before flash stepping out of the area.
"You wanted to see me commander?"
"Yes, Rukia you are send on a mission to live at the living world for a week before returning, you are going to do research on the living and report back within a week. The shinigami's institute of science needed more information on living humans and since they are all underlings of a certain crazy, heartless and horrifying scientists. I could not afford to risk losing the whole human race. From everyone in Souls Society you know the most about the living world and so I have decided to send you on this mission, as for where you will be staying, I think the Kurosaki household would gladly accept you, hohohoho,"
Rukia's jaw was left hanging, "Returning to the living world? Living with Ichigo again? What the hell! Why so sudden?" Rukia's thoughts were interrupted by the commander, "Ah I almost forgot you will be leaving by dawn so make sure you pack whatever you need once you get home hohoho," And he left with a trail of laughter. Rukia still flabbergasted could only stammer she wobble of into the streets unable to process the information given.
Dawn. Ichigo was still in his bed sleeping soundly when a loud knock from his window jolted him out of his sleep, with weary eyes he looked out of the window and saw Rukia on his window sill. "I must be dreaming,"He thought as he looked out his window closer his face swished against the window. The Rukia outside his window looked exactly like the real thing, "Yeah I have finally lost it," Ichigo said to himself before resuming to lay back down and sleep. Rukia on the other side of the window began to knock at the window furiously irritating the sleeping beauty. "Urgaaaah!" Ichigo shouted as he sat back up and slammed the window open, before he could say anything Rukia jumped into his room. "Hi!" She said oh so casually. Eyeing Rukia "This is a dream right," as he continued to circle her. Then with out any warning he started to pull on her cheeks are if he was trying to test if she was the real thing. At once her nimble legs shot up and kicked Ichigo right on his face making him fall to the ground, "That HURT you moron!" She said rubbing her cheeks.
"Rukia?" Ichigo said as he got up.
"Duh.. who else would it be,"
"So this is not a dream?"
"Want me to kick you again and see what happens?" Rukia suggested with a sinister grin on her face.
"Well I was just making sure! Is that so wrong?"
"Making sure? So... You have dreams about me?" Rukia shyly asked as her cheeks started to glow pink.
"Wha... N No! Of course not!" Ichigo could feel his face start to heat up, "So... what are you doing here? I thought you were never coming back again," Ichigo asked when his face cooled down a bit.
"Old man Yama sent me on a mission here for a week and I a need a place to stay so I figure why not,"
"Oh what is the mission about?" Ichigo asked curiosity filled his mind.
"Nothing special just about your everyday lives," Rukia said in a flat tone.
"Does that mean you are going to follow me around again?"
"More or less,after that I will be going back to Soul Society and who knows when I'm coming back." Rukia said with a hint of sadness.
"Rukia I'll make sure that this will be the most memorable mission you will ever go on," Ichigo secretly promised in his mind.
