'Only one more hour. You can make it, Rukia. Just hold on. You'll see him soon.' Rukia thought. She felt so deeply about this boy, this man, she couldn't stand it. She always felt something, something special when she was around him. The time slowed, and everything revolved around him. Wait. What? Rukia knew what this was. This ridiculous feeling. She'd read about it. What was it? 'Oh my God. . .I think. . .I'm. . .in love!' NO WAY! She'd have to tell him as SOON as she saw him.

This special man, she had known since childhood. It was a beautiful name. 'Renji. . .' She thought in a dreamy state. 'I. . .love you. I love you. I love you!' She couldn't get over it. It was. . .amazing! Love? What a silly thing! She'd never loved anyone but Nee-sama!

All the while, her friends were staring at her and knew she was thinking about her boy. Stupid lovesick Rukia. She was crazy. Dating an 18-year-old? He was bound to cheat sooner or later, seeing as how Rukia was only 15. Only a sophomore in high school. He was on his was to college. All those college girls would fall all over him. She was in for heartbreak. They could only imagine the mountains of tissues and would have to comfort her.

At the same time, a certain orange haired boy was thinking about something completely different. How this 'Renji' character must not be good enough for a beauty like Rukia. Really, if Renji was all that great, why couldn't he get girls his own age? It seemed weird to this boy, who thought Rukia was equal to an angel. She would have to date one to find what she was looking for an a guy. Now that, would be in her league. He continued to think about how if Rukia didn't wake up soon, she would be here forever. But by looks of it, she didn't seem to be coming out of dream land any time soon. And he would not be the one to wake her up. That would only give him a broken nose.

After reveling in the thought of love, Rukia realized that it had been an hour and a half since the bell rang. How could that have happened? Had she been thinking this whole time? Why did none of her friends say anything? School was over, and everyone had left her in there! 'Shit!' She mentally screamed, 'Renji's been waiting for almost 45 minutes! SHIT!' She was going to KILL all her friends when she came to school tomorrow! She quickly gathered her things and ran out the of the school at a speed that would cause jealousy to a track member. At that time, she was going too fast to see anyone she ran into, so when she did, she just yelled excuse me and an apology. She didn't have the time to see a face, just a blur of color.

Ichigo was packing his things slowly from his locker. He was absolutely dreading having to go home. Yuzu had decided that it would be a fantastic idea for the family to go on a diet and start exercising. Seeing as how she made the food, we didn't really have choice. He figured that he could get out of the exercising part. Not that he was out of shape or anything, but Karin had made it her job to be the trainer for that portion. She got scary when she worked out. Her didn't really look forward to getting yelled at again by his little sister.

When he was finally done packing and was on his out, he heard a small noise that almost was like pounding feet. 'What the. . .?' He thought, and looked back. He could barely make out a small form going at what seemed to be the speed of light. Is that. . .Rukia? What the hell? Is she okay? Is there a murderer after her? Wait, why do I care? She not mine, anyway. . .' Ichigo decided that he would stop thinking about it, because it only made him worry, and that was something that often got him in bad situations. Just as he was starting to think about something else, something hit him like a fucking wrecking ball. A girl that small just about knocked him down!

"Excuse me! Sorry!" Rukia yelled back. She must have been in a hurry. Where was she going? Strange, seeing as how she was still siting in class when the bell rang. She must have been daydreaming pretty hard. 'That's so cute. . . What, WHAT? Why am I thinking THAT? What is wrong with me?' Ichigo thought he was going crazy. What feeling was this? He had never felt it. 'Stupid feelings. . .'

Rukia ran as hard as she could. She had to find him so she could tell him her discovery. 'Where are you, where are you?' She thought silently. Shouldn't he be waiting in front of the school like he always does? Did he forget? Why was he not here? Wait, hold on. . .he had told her something important earlier today. . .

*Flashback*

"Rukia! I won't be able to come pick you up today, I have to go drop off my college applications at the post office. Can you come there?

"Of course! What time, 3:00? I can do that!" Rukia would do anything, and she meant anything, for Renji.

"Good. Yeah, 3:00 is fine. Be there!" He grinned wickedly. Renji felt he could say anything to her because she would stay with him no matter what! He had her wrapped around his dirty little finger.

*End Flashback*

"Of course. This just what I need!" Rukia said sarcastically as she threw her hands in the air. Off she went again, running to the next destination.

Ichigo, who had just made it outside in time to she Rukia running off again, remembered that his crazy father had asked him to drop of the mail at the post office. Ichigo rummaged through his bag to make sure the letters were still there. Finding they were, he got his bike key and unlocked his bike. This was one of those times were he was thankful for the thing. Even if it was cold, it made traveling easier.

Rukia finally arrived at her destination, out of breath and freezing because it was Winter. 'Why don't I have my jacket? Crazy me. . . Oh well, I get to see Renji now!' She figured he would be around the front, so she started looking.

Now when you think post office, you probably think: Oh, cute little square shop, with only five employees, and everyone loves it. HA. That's funny. This thing deserved a zip code. It was huge, and would rival Atlantis. Tall pillars held up the roof, and reminded her of a court house. She looked around all the pillars until she heard a weird noise. I kind of sounded like kissing, but she couldn't be sure.

Rukia searched and searched, and as the noise got louder, she got even more scared. It was a creepy noise, like she was intruding on and interrupting a heated make out session 'That couldn't be Renji. . .could it? No, he would never!' One more pillar and. . .

She froze. She absolutely could not believe her goddamned eyes. Was it even real? Was she dreaming? Rukia rubbed her eyes, and the horrific image stayed before her. 'No. . . No. No! No! NO! NO! WHY? WHY? How. . . How could you?' Rukia couldn't stay quiet anymore. It wasn't possible.

"YOU ASSHOLE! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Her Renji, her one and only, the one that she was going to confess to today. . . Was making out with a ditsy bitch!

"R-R-Rukia? Uh. . ." Renji was so surprised to see little Rukia. How could she make so much noise? He all of the sudden felt terrible. He was caught red handed in the act. He wanted Rukia. Wanted her more than anyone. Why was he doing this? He had to fix it!

"Uh, who are you? Why are you all over me? Rape! Rape!" Renji called out in fake alarm. He was doing really shitty job of 'fixing' it, but it was the best her could do at the time. 'Please play along, please play along. . .' He silently prayed.

"Renji, baby, what are you saying? I thought you wanted to take me home?" The unknown bitch said. Shit, she was ruining it! Why can't she just play along? Damn stupid bitch!

Did he think she was stupid? That she wouldn't see through it all? How could he lie straight to her face? He was vindictive and evil. How could she have ever loved a monster?

"Don't even, Renji! I-I don't. . .want. . .to HEAR IT!" Rukia screamed and, like a basketball player, she jumped up and decked Renji in the nose. Blood instantly spurted out. Renji flipped out. Now it was war. He had tried to do something, and Rukia didn't accept it. Why not? Before, he could do what ever he wanted! What changed?

"YOU BITCH WOMAN!" He yelled extremely loud and swung at Rukia. She dodged, but was in shock because he actually tried to hit her! 'Renji. . .Renji is not the man I know. . .' She thought and took off.

Rukia immediately started crying. She was breaking down. She couldn't understand why the man she loved cheated on her. No, wait, she didn't love that pig. Renji was evil! She was going to ruin his life! Rukia would never love again. Not as long as she knew men could be that way.

At that very moment, a tall orange haired boy rode down the street on his bike. As he looked up, a small, beautiful raven haired girl was running in his direction bawling. He heart was broken when he thought of the all possibilities. 'What do I do?' He thought, and his brain was a mess. He needed to help her, but what could he do? He slowed to a stop, and decided to do what was best. No longer would he stay away. Rukia was soon going to be his.
