A/N: Finally, I got an idea for a new story and here it is. After watching countless Ichigo and Rukia AMV's, I am finally struck with inspiration. I'm reusing the same title from a previous dicontinued fic I had. I hope you guys still like it though, and please review. If I don't get reviews, I'll get the idea that this thing sucks and I might think otherwise of continuing it. (For real)

Chapter 1

Accidental Introductions

Late afternoon, the loud dismissal bells of Karakura High sound off signaling the end of a typical school day. It was then followed by the crowd of students charging through the entrance door like a pack of elephants in a stampede. One of the students certainly stuck out in the crowd, familiar for the scowl on his face and his obvious bright orange spiky hair.

Finally, the end of the day… this particular student thought.

His name is Ichigo Kurasaki, you're typical high school freshman. Anyways, I'm skipping the long boring and a total "waste-of-my-time" character introduction since you readers all know who the main character of Bleach is. If not, then I'm afraid you'll find some difficulty in reading this story.

Moving on, he quietly walked past the entrance gates even though the rest of the other students were storming out of the campus in a hurry. His entire destination was home and he's taking his time to get there, having your own dad constantly attacking you will have you thinking the same way if you ask me.

Indulged deep in his thoughts, the orange-head gave a long sigh as he continued strolling down the streets of the city of Karakura.

Things had been real boring lately,

Maybe I shouldn't spend my time always being alone,

Dad could be right; I should find a friend that I could talk to from time to time.

…

Dad? Right about something?

Ha, I must be starting to lose it.

He laughed to himself about the irony he just came up with but deep down he still couldn't shake the feeling. The feeling of being alone and he was clearly starting to get sick of it. Ichigo tried his best to keep his mind occupied with something else…

I wonder what's for dinner for tonight.

Yuzu is never a bad cook so I shouldn't really worry.

Are Tatsuki and Orihime doing anything today?

Ah, what do I care about them?

Did I finish my homework for today?

Damn, we don't have any homework.

Is Ishida still mad at me for making fun of his sewing?

I'm guessing "yes"

Did Chad say something today?

…

Never mind.

No use, no matter what he does the loneliness kept haunting him. The fifteen year old was so busy wandering in his head that he didn't pay any attention to were he was going. He made a blind turn around the corner out of instinct considering he regularly does, only a few blocks till his house, when…

"LOOK OUT!" cried a girl riding her bicycle.

CRASH!!!

Ichigo was sent flying then crashing down to the hard pavement head first. The raven-haired girl collided with our familiar orange-headed friend, lucky for her that she was on a bicycle, Ichigo…well, not so lucky, ...poor guy (or maybe not so poor if you ask me).

"Oh my God!" she panicked seeing that he was knocked out cold and is now bleeding through a cut on his forehead. Soon a strange young man wearing a green and white stripped hat walked up to the two. He saw the accident from a far and thought he could give a helping hand.

"Tsk tsk….looks like he's in pretty bad shape." He said looking down. "If you hurry there's a small clinic a block from here." He pointed out in the direction he was mentioning.

"There is!" The girl said with joy and relief, she then looked to see that the mysterious stranger had left the scene.

Well, at least he pointed out were the clinic was… she thought.

The raven-haired girl took up the unconscious orange-haired student on her shoulders and started carrying him to the aforementioned clinic.

Man, this guy is heavy. She struggled over his weight a bit.

It wasn't long till she got there, as soon as she did she immediately asked for help.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON!" the doctor shouted out after hearing her.

"Sorry sir, we were kind'a in a little accident and…" she tried to explain.

"Karin! Yuzu! Find a bed now!!!" he ordered loudly while the helpful girl simply stood there dumb-folded.

His son? Talk about coincidence, I hope he doesn't get mad at me or anything…

The doctor then took the orange-haired boy from her and immediately preceded him in a room. The raven-haired girl felt a bit responsible for this disaster so she thought it was right to wait to see if he'd recover. A couple of minutes pass and the doctor emerged from Ichigo's room.

"Well, it's nothing serious, just a cut on the head. Damn that boy better be careful next time." he complained while throwing some used bandages in the trash bin. "And I think I have you to thank for getting him here, what's you're name little miss?" he asked.

"Rukia, sir. Rukia Kuchiki." She said.

To Be Continued…
