A tear started to trickle down her cheek as she stared into his pale dead eyes. It was just yesterday, it didn't seem like it, it was yesterday that they had made all their plans for the future. Their wedding was made in the summer and now it will never be. They were going to spend today just spending time with each other. Before their child arrived. That day would be coming shortly.

"Ichigo! I hate you! Why did you have to die? Ichigo!" Rukia screamed. Then cried in his chest.

After she calmed herself down, Rukia sat up and wiped her tears away.

"So everything you said we'd do, was a lie. You promised me so much and you couldn't keep one of them."

Flashback

Two weeks before death

"So Ichigo, how does it feel to be a caption." Renji asked as Ichigo was trying on his caption's cloak.

"It feels like I have a lot of power." Ichigo replied.

"So how are you and vice caption Kuchiki getting along?"

"I'm gonna ask Rukia to marry me. Here let me show you the ring." Ichigo said, heading to his desk. He opened the top drawer and pulled out a small diamond ring.

"Wow that's a nice looking ring. Did you buy a case for it? Are you gonna get down on one knee at a restaurant so everyone can see you and she can't say no?"

"No, all that is so 1980s. I'm gonna, well . . . I don't know how I'm gonna ask her, but I will ask."

"Sure you will." With that Renji turned on his heels and walked out the door. Ichigo stayed in his office looking at the ring and thinking of ways to ask. He was caught up in thinking he didn't realize it when Momo walked in.

"Caption?"

"Huh, what?"

"Here are those reports that you have to go through." She said placing a huge pile of papers on his desk. Ichigo's eyes went huge and white.

"Umm, Momo could you do some of those? I'll be right back." Before she had time to answer he was out the door.

With the ring still in hand he walked to the 13th squad building and found Rukia sitting in a room drinking water.

"Hey Rukia." He said raising his arm up.

"Hi Ichigo."

"Wanna go for a walk?" Rukia looked around the room, smiled, and nodded.

They walked around the serete and in the forest and to Ganjyu's house and onto a cliff where the sunset looks beautiful if you make it in time.

When they got to the cliff, They sat down side by side and Rukia lay her head on Ichigo's shoulder. She sighed, but it wasn't a tired sigh or annoyed sigh. It was a sigh of peace.

"Why did you want to come up here?" She asked.

"I'll tell you when sunset comes." Ichigo replied smoothly.

As sunset neared Rukia got more and more anxious but Ichigo stayed calm and relaxed. When sunset was about to arrive, they counted slowly back from 10. When they got to 0 Ichigo said it.

"Rukia Kuchiki-" She looked up at him. "Will you marry me?" He held out the ring.
