It was a cold, piercing blade, white and warm and familiar.

She was holding it now too, just like then her grip was sure and strong.

Her eyes glowed that familiar mauve sheen, piercing bright and knowing under a curtain of silk spun ebony lashes.

Her smile was a welcoming light in the dark, and the rain didn't matter anymore when he saw her. She had stopped its taunting fall yet again.

She was a white moon enveloping a dark night.

His voice was hoarse, scratched and resolved, and she stared patiently knowing up at him.

"Rukia!"

The blade grew hot and he was met with smoke, a choking curtain that drowned her out.

His hand shot for where her slender frame would be and his skin caressed unknowing against the satin flesh of her delicate cheek.

"Are you ready?" Her voice was deep and sensuous, she had lost that innocent young vibe: a woman's voice.

This question he knew well, and he couldn't help the smile.

"Yes." He responded and was enveloped with her power once more, such a warm rich feeling.

The smoke grew thicker.

"Don't disappear on me." He whispered, the reistu surrounding them in a flurry. Her smile bloomed like a lotus, rare and beautiful.

"I won't."

His fingers fell from her face as the smoke cleared, and his resolve shone as brightly as her eyes.

His ray of light had returned.

Rukia coming back made my week! It was SO amazing and her hair looks so cute! I personally thought she would come back with long hair, but i guess Tite likes the short look on her, haha.
