So I know I said I would stop taking request but recently a very good fanfic author requested that I write this and the plot pretty much begged me to write it out. Now I think this will probably be only a few chapters, but I hope you all enjoy.

His tan fingers played with the soft fabric of a ribbon someone he held a hidden desire for often wore at the tender age of six. In his other hand was a baseball bat, he spun it effortlessly before placing it on his shoulder and looking at the largest piece of art his hands had ever created. In his eyes, the painting was nothing compared to the true beauty she held so naturally. She stood before a large moon that shined down on her pale, delectable skin and her eyes shined brightly with purity and superb calmness. Yet, her lips were thin and no smile could be found on her angelic face.

Mainly because he had never had the pleasure of seeing her smile. Well, not directed to him due to what he was to her. He was her tormentor, her bully in many ways, but it was just him hiding his own emotions from the lovely Rukia Kuchiki. They both have gone to school together since preschool, yet immediately he shunned her before he began a strained relationship with the girl. First, he rejected her. Then, came the teasing and taunting that his friends and himself did to her.

Now, recently it had become physical. Pushing her out of his way, tripping her in the hallways of school, purposely throwing items at her when she appeared, and lastly cornering her by pressing his body against hers and keeping her still as he taunted her.

No matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried for years to force away the emotions boiling in his blood by making her life a living hell, she would put her head down for a moment before raising it and staring blankly into his own eyes before walking away from him. She always walked to him, the classmate he loathed with intensity. Ashido, he would steal her away from him soon and she will be out of his grasp. His grin darken as a disturbing chuckle left his lips. Ichigo Kurosaki would not allow Ashido to win his obsession so easily. Rukia Kuchiki will be his, whether she wants it or not.

He allowed the baseball bat to spin once more in his hand before allowing it to hit the floor with a low thud before walking out of his room dedicated to Rukia.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Midnight-blue eyes snapped open when her alarm clock echoed loudly in her large room. She slammed her hand down on the nuisance and ran to the bathroom to take her morning shower. Walking out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her body, she grabbed her cellphone as it rang and answered it as she changed.

"Woke up late again, Rukia?"

Rukia smiled at the soothing voice of her closest friend, Ashido before zipping up her pants.

"Yeah, are you already in front of my house?" Rukia asked, grabbing a white button up shirt and placing it on her body.

"Like I always am at this time of morning." Ashido joked, his soft chuckle making Rukia shiver gently,

"Well, my sister went to work early so you can come inside." Rukia said, opening her drawer to get her Chappy socks.

"I'll do that. See you inside." Ashido said, hanging up and walking to the front door.

"Tell the midget not to forget her ladder today, Ashido!"

Ashido's smile fell when the voice of Ichigo Kurosaki echoed in the empty street . He turned his now cold eyes to see Ichigo and his group of followers across that street from Rukia's house. Ichigo grinned as his friends laughed loudly around him and continued walking along. Ashido shook his head before stepping inside to see Rukia running down the stairs with her backpack in her hand. Her eyes met with his and she smiled as a gentle smile and blush appeared on her face. Ashido smiled sadly and shut the door as Rukia walked to him and hugged him.

"You heard him, didn't you?" Ashido whispered, Rukia hummed before pulling away from him and shrugged her shoulder.

"After a couple of years, you get use to his annoying attitude. Besides, karma is going to get him back for what he is doing." Rukia said, Ashido nodded as he opened the door for her and walked out along with her.

"Oi, midget! Got any money on you?" Ichigo said, Rukia's eye twitched and she cursed whoever placed her locker next to his.

"No." Rukia muttered, opening her locker only to have it slammed shut by Ichigo.

"Well, looks like the thirteen-year-old is lying to me! Didn't your parents teach you any lessons before they died?" Ichigo said, receiving an icy glare from the short school girl.

"Leave her alone, man." Ashido said, standing in-between the two before turning to Rukia and wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

"I'll take you to-What the hell, Kurosaki!"

Rukia stumbled away when she felt herself being shoved away and turned to see Ichigo gripping Ashido's wrist in a vice-grip and glaring him down. Their eyes were in a heated battle before Ichigo locked eyes with Rukia and smirked at her scared expression. He released Ashido's wrist and walked back to his locker to slam it shut.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt the only friend you have in this place. You're weird enough as it is and you being an even bigger loner than you all ready are will make people talk more than they already do." Ichigo taunted, laughing as he walked away from the fuming Rukia.

"I'm going to kill him one day." Rukia seethed, her fist shaking by her side.

"Need any help? I got a boat we can use." Ashido said, smiling when Rukia shook her head and laughed.

"You always know the right things to say to me, Ashido. Thanks." Rukia said, sighing when his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"We're going to be late. Let's go before Ms. Unohana turns from angel to the exorcise chick on us." Ashido said, leading her to their first class of the day.

Ichigo watched from the corner, he mentally face-palmed himself for showing some of his emotion in front of Rukia. He couldn't control it, when Ashido touched her, it made his rage grow darker and it made him want to rip off Ashido's arm. Ichigo punched the wall he leaned on before walking away to his first class. A dark smile appeared on his face when he remembered today's new project for Mr. Aizen's science class that was due in next week. Ichigo had personally spoken to the teacher last Friday and made an arrangement that would make his plan so much easier.

"The oompa loompa is late for class again." Ichigo stated when Rukia ran into the class with the bells ringing loudly.

The class erupted in laughter and Rukia ignored Ichigo's remark as she took her first step. She didn't make it to her second step due to an intruding foot that appeared suddenly. Rukia fell with a loud thud and she groaned when her left side of her face made contacted with the cold floor. The laughter bounced loudly in the room and Rukia kept her head down as she got to her knees slowly. The door opened and Mr. Aizen entered the now empty class and walked to Rukia.

"Let me help you up." Mr. Aizen said, kneeling down to help Rukia to her feet.

"Thank you, Mr. Aizen." Rukia muttered, slinging her backpack over her shoulder and walking to her desk.

"Class, as you recall, I announced that today I would reveal a new project. This is a big part of your grade so I am going to pair you up with another student. I have prepared a list and will announce them now." Mr. Aizen said, walking to the bored and grabbing a marker.

"Now, here are your partners; Renji Abarai, you will be with Izuru Kira. Rangiku Matsumoto, you will be with Orihime Inoue. Rukia Kuchiki… you will be with Ichigo Kurosaki-"

"What?" Rukia shouted, standing from her desk and staring as her name was written besides Ichigo.

"Sit down, Rukia. I will not change my mind. Ichigo has come to me and requested that he needs assistant to keep his grade high. That was when I decided to pair my most excellent student with him and that is that. Sit down now." Mr. Aizen said.

Rukia looked at the bored with horror, not even paying attention as the rest of the names were called out. She turned her head and saw Ichigo's face surprisingly calm when he stared back at her. Their eyes met and Rukia turned away from his gaze when his cocky smile returned. When the bell rang, Rukia stood from her desk to find Ichigo standing in front of it with a large grin on his face.

"Have fun today, midget. Because I get to have you for the rest of this week." Ichigo purred, making Rukia grimace and look away from him.

She practically ran past him, tears burning in her eyes as she searched for her friend.

Hope you guys enjoyed and please review. I'll see you guys next week.
