I do not own Bleach or any of the characters.

This is my first fanfic. Please bare with my boring, plot less story.

Broken Hearts

"What are friends to you?" Rukia mumbles.

"Everything, moron" Ichigo said without much thought.

Kurosaki Ichigo had just finished taking care of the 4th Hollow that night. Lacking sleep and tired, it was clear that he was in a bad mood. Rukia knew this, she understood perfectly how tired Ichigo was, but she just had to ask.

"Do you have. .everything, Ichigo?" Rukia whispered, her lips quivering a little.

"Why the hell would I have everything?" answered Ichigo halfheartedly, not getting the question.

"..you just said friends are everything, you don't have any friends then?"

Realizing what the question meant, he said nothing and quickened his steps. Noticing it was too late to take back her words, Rukia struggled to keep up with him. He suddenly jerked around and glared at her.

"What the hell, did you-"

"I just wanted to know if you considered me a friend." She interrupted, looking away sheepishly, Ichigo's eyes softened a little.

"Idiot"

"Who do you think your calling an idiot, fool."

The air was heavy, and the atmosphere glum. They had just had an argument, it was clearly absurd, arguing over the stupidest tiniest things. They had both been frustrated of each others presence over the few days.

Silence.

"Friends..huh?" Rukia whispered. Three days ago she thought they had a bond; unbreakable beautiful friendship.

"If your going to say something, say it clearly!" Ichigo yelled.

"If this is what having friends is like, I rather not have any!" Rukia screamed. She glared at Ichigo once more, grabbed her shoes and jumped out the window. She landed on her feet with ease, she crouched down and slipped her shoes on.Underneath the sky of blue and pale yellow, Rukia ran, she didn't care where she would end up, as long as she went somewhere.

Ichigo didn't even glance out the window, he knew how experienced Rukia was at jumping out the window, she'll be fine.

"Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her..but she didn't have to ask stupid questions and complain about me not fulfilling the job of a shinigami." He sighed. "That idiot"

It was almost like rich, black ink was poured throughout the whole sky.

A street light flickered on, blinking for a couple of seconds, it shone dimly at a petite girl wearing a blue skirt.

Rukia hugged her knees. She was leaning against the street light that had just flickered on, feeling a little revealed, she closed her eyes. She stayed like this for what seemed like hours. Minutes ticked by, each ticking of the constant cycle calmed her. After calm came guilt.

Closing her eyes again, she put her head down. Somewhere deep inside her, she was waiting, waiting for Ichigo to come and pick her up, just like how he always saved her.

"How naïve of me.." she put her head down again.

Ichigo was sitting in his desk reading some sort of shounen manga while humming to a Japanese rap song on the radio.

The nights are getting darker, and the wind is cold, the summer sun is now become so old. Your closest friends were never meant to fade. You'll regret it all, living behind your wall, you'll never fall in love if you don't fall at all.

Broken hearts and torn up letters, girl you can't just dance forever. If you want to make it better..

Almost like an impulse, Ichigo placed his book on his desk and ran down stairs.

Times like this won't last forever.

Almost like he knew where she was, Ichigo walked with a steady pace. Seeing someone leaning against a lamp post, he lowered his pace.

"That fool," Rukia mumbled, "maybe I said too much.."

Her mumbling was interrupted by a large hand placed on her head, she jerked her head up.

"Who are you calling a fool, moron?"

She hesitated, "you fool-"

"Let's go home." Ichigo interrupted.

Rukia looked away sheepishly, uncertain of what to do, she just sat there. "Come on" He offered a hand. Rukia accepted it and got up. Noticing her shirt was crinkled, she smoothed it out. Ichigo watched as she did this and said, "Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Thank you for what?" Rukia looked at him with her fake girly eyes, pretending to be confused.

"Bastard." Ichigo declared. "Ow! What was that for!" Ichigo yelped as he rubbed his head, Rukia had just thrown her shoe at him.

"Jerk." Hopping around on one foot, she leaned against a fence to put her shoe on, after that she ran up to Ichigo and said "Thanks Ichigo and.. I'm sorry."

"What? Say that again, louder this time." His head still throbbing, he grinned.

"Nevermind." Rukia sighed.

Ichigo turned his head around to say something when he noticed his footing was uneven. He tripped. Yeah, Kurosaki Ichigo tripped, hard to imagine, but true. " What are you doing, you clumsy fool!"


You'll never fall in love, if you don't fall at all.

Authors note; It's my first fanfic. Please point out every mistake, and please criticize. I want to become a better author.

The song lyrics (most in italic) is the song Ichigo was listening to, he forgot to turn off his radio, did you catch that part :)?

My friend sent me that song a while ago, unfortunately, the title only said "Broken hearts" so credit goes to whoever that wrote it. It matches the fanfic so much I just had to use it. Oh, and it's not a Japanese rap song, I lied o.O;.
