10:12 A.M.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you lost?"

The agent wore a look of confusion and pitiful nervousness at the girl's hollow expression. Said girl snapped back to the harsh, dim reality, "Ah! Yes… um… can I get one ticket to New York?"

The words jumbled out of her mouth without a rational thought. Rukia anxiously waited as the attendant muttered nonsense about how expensive the ticket was going to be and how she might not even get on the flight today because of limited seating.

It didn't matter as long as she was away.

She just wanted to leave. Anywhere. It didn't matter.

"That's alright, as long I get going soon." Rukia gave a weak smile in return.

The attendant gave her a meager grimace with a judgmental raise of her eyebrow, "The next flight leaves at 4:30. Is that okay?"

Rukia wasn't happy to say the least but with a quick nod she agreed defeatedly, "Yeah."

"Alrighty then, that'll be $457.64."

Rukia's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the price but she shakingly handed the steady cash over. The lady kept on speaking but it was all falling on deaf ears. Her ticket was soon handed over along with a bright, white smile and sparkling, twinkle eyes.

Fake bitch, wonder how she does it all the time.

Her eyes popped out again at how harsh her thoughts were. Surely to anyone else, the facial expressions she wore would lead them to the conclusion that this girl was in fact, a lunatic. But Rukia picked up her small bag stuffed with one change of clothes and other little miniscule items. She slowly walked over to the waiting area and plunked down on one of the hard, grey chairs. Sighing, the small girl pulled out her phone which had not once ceased to vibrate. She snorted and thought, at this point someone could use it as a vibrator. Shaking her head, she opened up her messages.

16 New Messages

Without even bothering to read them, she began to delete them all. In the midst of her deleting, another beep came from her phone. Except this one was continuous.

INCOMING CALL

Ichigo

"Nope, don't think so, fucker." Rukia muttered disdainfully as she hit reject.

Less than five seconds later, it began to wiggle in vibration. She gritted her teeth, "No, asshole."

"Found you, bunny."

Her violet eyes widened to comical proportions.

Shaken into shock, she turned around and there he was in all his glory, in a black business suit, scowling and looking angry as hell. At her seemingly terrified expression, he scowled even more, "It wasn't hard to find you."

"Ah…" Her stupefied expression slowly turned into a small pout and she turned back around. "Go away."

He sat down next to her and leaned in, his breath fanning over her red cheeks as he softly put his hand on her thigh, "Now, how I am supposed to do that?"

Oh my goodness, well there it is my very first story. In all truthfulness, I am nervous because this story is for the OTP of all time. Ah, well next chap will delve more into the story and backstory. Hope it wasn't too bad.
