~ Prologue ~

Ichigo soullessly stares from the window of his apartment. He remember her again, all those times they were together. It was just a short time but it was enough to fall in love with her. All of it, are very clear in his memory. Every tiny detail about her. He remembers, how smooth her skin was, her kisses, her touches and the way she whispered his name as he hold her close while they were making love. He remember ...her face, her smiles, her beautiful violet eyes.

Her.

He clenches his fist. Holding back tears and longing evident in his eyes.

"Where are you?..."

He takes a deep breath trying to relax his nerves. Thinking he should calm himself before going to the party his sister prepared for him for coming back in Japan. Ichigo lived in massachusettes for 6 years where he studied Business Administration. After graduation he decided to come back in Tokyo and work in his sister's company as the new Executive Director. He accepted the offer for he is going to take over their family business someday but first he has to prove it to the shareholders and board members that he is deserving for that particular title.

[...]

Ichigo drives to his sister's house, few minutes later he arrives. The house is full of guest, different people from the high society came and greeted him. After a moment of chatter he excuses himself and walk through the crowd searching for his sister somewhere.

His mouth form into a happy grin as he spots her talking to a woman. The person's back is all he can see. A petite woman, wearing a backless black dress that hugged her body to her slim waist and he could see her exposed back. His gaze stills at the woman, there's something familliar about her that he can't point out. About her black hair that was clipped beautifully from behind. The curve of her body. That woman almost looks like 'Her'.

Shaking his head slowly he sighs. Oh yeah, he's losing it. Everytime he sees a petite woman he remembers her.

Slowly he takes a step towards his sister by the time he's near he heard her says.

"Call attorney Shunsui, tell him to meet me in my office tomorrow."

The petite woman walks away. That's when his sister sees him standing by. Her mood suddenly lightens up after seeing him.

"Ichigo." She embraces him tight. " I missed you."

" Was there any problems?" He can't help but ask, seeing her expression earlier. She was pissed.

She pulls away, looking bright as ever. " No that was just a minor problem. I'll take care of it."

He nods but suddenly his gaze turns to where the petite woman disappear to. He can't deny that he is curious. " Who was her? That woman you were talking to."

" She's my secretary. Beautiful isn't she?"

He gave her a playful smile. " Yeah, she looked hot."

His sister jabs his stomach, making him scowl at the pain. But she smiles after.

"Be nice to her. She's a great worker." She goes forward and Ichigo follows her. " All the shareholders and everyone working in our company is here tonight."

In the middle of the room they stand and his sister clinking her glass of wine, grabbing everyone's attention.

"I would like you all to meet my brother Kurosaki Ichigo. He will be working in the Seretei Corporation as a new Executive Director from now on."

The guest gives an applause and he steps forward, bow his head and speaks loud and clear. "It would be an honor to work with you and I will do my very best for the company."

"Let's have a toast for my brother and for another successful year of the Sereitei Corporation."

Everyone raises their glasses for a toast but the sound of a glass shattering on the floor interrupted them. Slowly Ichigo turns his head to where that sound came from and he almost drop the glass in his hand. His eyes went wide.

" Is this real?" or another hallucinations just like he had for the past 6 years.

But She's standing there, wearing a beautiful black dress that hugged her firm body, making stand out of all the guest that night. She's staring at him. Eyes wide just like his, mouth hung open as she gasp.

Their gazes meet and it feels like, only the two of them are in that room. Alone in their own world.

He takes a step, he did not dare to blink even. Afraid that if he will, she'll be gone.

He could hear his heart ramming in his chest as if his heart itself recognizes her presence. Closer, he walks until his already standing right in front of her.

" Rukia... "
