Dis: I don't own bleach!
I'm not sure if I'm going to make this into multiple chapters...It depends on how many reviews I get. Anonymous reviews welcome just as much as signed reviews. NO FLAMERS!
A lone howl filled the air, full of sorrow and pain. What does one do when they have lost everything? The girl fell to the hard, frozen earth. Her black hair cascaded into her face and hid the shimmering tears that betrayed her silent command to not cry. 'Why...why me and why now?' More tears leaked down her pale cheeks, landing on the icy dirt with dull plops. Behind her, she didn't hear the faint sound of someone running.
"Rukia, wait!" She ignored the voice that called out to her over the sounds of the wind. The silver tears only increased their descent. Strong arms wrapped around the girl's shoulders as the shadowy figure came to a halt, kneeling beside the crying girl. "It's ok...I'm here." Shining purple eyes looked up into the amber brown eyes of Ichigo Kurosaki. (AN: Sp?)
"Leave me alone..." Rukia closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against Ichigo's chest. The boy's arms tightened around the soul reaper.
"No..." Rukia's eyes snapped open as she tilted her head to gaze shocked at Ichigo. She sniffled lightly as Ichigo wiped away the tears with the pad of his thumb. "What is with you? Nightmare again?" Rukia slowly nodded. "You know, they aren't real. And you can always come to me if you need someone to talk to." She nodded again. "Good..." And Ichigo leaned down, lightly pressing his lips against Rukia's.
