Hi guys! This is my first fanfiction ever! Honestly I think this is a total screw up.
Ichigo stood in horror as he watched Aizen's blade sweep into Tia Halibel's stomach.
As he watched her fall, something inside him urged him to catch her. "Why am I feeling like this?" he asked himself. As Halibel fell into his arms, he looked at her face. "Hey! Don't die on me!" he yelled. Halibel's vision was blurred, slowly worsening as the seconds drew by. She knew that this would be the last time she ever saw light.
Halibel awoke from her slumber. She blinked and found herself in a medical hospital. Her mind was still a complete blur. Confused, she looked around and caught sight of Ichigo, who just noticed she had awoken. "Finally awake huh?" Ichigo said. Startled, Halibel jumped out of the bed, materializing her sword out of thin air, the blade pointing towards Ichigo. "Stay back!" she warned. "WOAH! Calm down!" Ichigo said as he raised his hands. "Where am I?!" Halibel asked. "You're in Soul Society's hospital. I brought you here to fix up your wounds." Ichigo explained. Halibel slightly loosened the grip on her sword, but tightened again, not 100% sure of Ichigo's story. "Look, it took me forever to convince the captains to let you in here." Ichigo continued, "And killing me isn't going to help your case."
"Why would you help ME? I'm an Arrancar, you're a Shinigami. We're enemies." "Well," Ichigo explained, "Orihime healed Loly and Menoly even though they were enemies. I don't see why I can't help you. You also seem… different… from the rest." Intrigued, Halibel asked, "In what way?" Ichigo thought for a moment, the room filled with silence. "I… Even though we barely know each other, I've found you rather… attractive." Halibel slightly blushed. She always thought Ichigo was rather charming too. "Also, now that Aizen betrayed you.." Halibel winced when Ichigo mentioned his name. She had served him for so long, and was ultimately treated as nothing to him. "you don't really have anywhere to go. So maybe you could stay in Soul Society. With us." Halibel smirked. "The very idea that me, an Arrancar could live with the Shinigami is absurd. Do you really think that they would accept me? My kind has killed many of yours, and yours has killed many of mine."
"Even if they wouldn't, I would." said Ichigo.
Over the next few weeks, Halibel stayed in Soul Society. She had been assigned to the same room as Ichigo, who had to stay in Soul Society. "You wanted her to stay here, so she's your responsibility. You'll watch over her until we can be certain she is trustworthy." Hitsugaya had said.
Ichigo watched as Halibel sat in the corner of their room, eyes closed. She was supposed to help Ichigo do some paperwork, since they were literally given a free room. Ichigo stared at her, watching as the wind blew her blonde hair across her face, and her beautifully tanned skin. "Halibel, you do know you're supposed to help me with this."
"…."
Ichigo sighed. As usual, the same response. It was getting late, and so he shoved the giant stacks of papers aside, deciding to complete them tomorrow, and went to bed. As he closed his eyes, he watched Halibel, as motionless as a statue.
Ichigo awoke abruptly. It was the middle of the night, the full moon shining brightly. As his eyes drifted lazily across the room, he saw Halibel, still sitting motionlessly. The nights at Soul Society were always extremely cold, and this night was no exception. Halibel had a bed of her own, but she never used it. Ichigo walked over to her, noticing she looked extremely cute when she slept. Afraid she might catch a cold, he lifted her up, being careful not to touch anywhere she probably wouldn't want him to touch, and gently put her down on her bed. He covered her with the blanket, but seeing that they were ridiculously thin, he took his own and gave it to her as well. He looked at her, admiring her looks. He then leaned in, hesitating for a moment, but then finally gave a small kiss on her forehead. He was sure now, that he had fallen in love with her, Tia Halibel.
Halibel opened her eyes, squinting at the blinding light. She didn't remember moving to sleep on the bed. Puzzled, she dismissed the thought. Looking around, Ichigo was nowhere to be seen. Halibel sighed. How long was she to spend her time here? Literally everybody gave her dirty looks, especially Hitsugaya, who was always extremely cautious around her. Only a handful of people even made conversations with her, which usually lasted a whole 15 seconds. Her mind raced through many thoughts, and then onto Ichigo. She thought about how he treated her so nicely, even though she was being completely uncooperative. She remembered how he always defended her when the other captains talked bad about her. Then her thoughts wandered to his physique, his charming face. She shook her head. Why was she feeling this way? She didn't want to believe it but, she was falling for him, Ichigo Kurosaki.
