TIMELINE: 7 years after Arrancar wars (winter wars)
It was a serene night. The stars were glimmering, and the moon was smoldering so dazzlingly, unfortunately, Ichigo's mind-set were distinct this beautiful night. He was thinking about a certain raven haired girl that stole his heart and never come back for a long time. He just can't stop thinking about her. He tried so hard, yet he failed miserably.
And tomorrow, she will officially become his fukutaichou.. things are going to be different. And he didn't even meet her yet. He sighed and rubbed his short orange hair; something that just wouldn't change.. Kurosaki Ichigo, 22 years old. Taichou. Replacing Aizen in his 5th division was his job now. He was now a captain.
..
"why? Yamamoto-sama?" he questioned his heart.
"Are you sure you can accept this, ichigo?"
"Are you sure that you'll be just fine?"
"Just keep this feeling.. She never knows anyway.."
..
These thoughts were rolling in his mind since the past 2 hours. Ichigo let himself slumped into the nearest bench. The stars keep glittering, as if they were laughing at his misery. His right thumb was massaging his nose bridge, as he release another sigh.
He was so surprised when he is told that Rukia and Renji was about to be transferred to somewhere else for a year. He is indeed surprised. And to know it from Kon is not the best idea. Why can't she tell him herself? And yet, she applied to stay there; Daikan-yama for 3 years, instead of a year! Why? He's been feeling guilty these past years, being so wondering, what actually happened that day..
Is what he saw that day is the truth? And he was not in time to ask for her explanation when she suddenly went away that night.. .. And to his surprise, she went back here as his fukutaichou! Is Kami playing trick, or it's just stupid damn coincidence..?!
Ichigo looked at the ring he was wearing. The ring which was full of memories, he proclaimed. Memories between him and Rukia. Ichigo let his mind drifted.

"Hm.. I guess I should be ready, then?" Ichigo deepens his breath, glancing to Yuzu.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm sure rukia-chan feels the same about you, Ichi-nii." Yuzu said, as she crossed her arms and nod.
"I hope." He said, placing a sit on the bed.
"I'll give her this." He smiled, showing Yuzu a pair of silver rings that engraved both names at the inside of the ring. One for Ichigo. One for Rukia. That made Yuzu clenched her jaw.
"I'll give her the ring carved with my name, I'll wear the other one that carved her name..." he grinned. Suddenly, Yuzu's expression turned to awe.
"Aw.. Ichi-nii, that's so romantic.." she said hugging her dearest big brother.
"Hey, cut it out," he snorted as he pushed away her head beside, blushing.
"KAMI-SAMA!! Ichi-nii is blushing!!" Yuzu exclaimed.
"I'm going to tell Karin and Otousan..!!" she said, rushing out of the room, before Ichigo could speak. He sighed. Ichigo glanced to his watch, noticing that it was already 11.30 a.m. He quickly got up and walked away.
"I'm going!!" he screeched as he waves goodbye.
"Okay! Good luck, Ichi-nii!!" yuzu shouted.
"And don't come back home crying!!!" Karin added. Ichigo smirked.
"Whatever.." he walked away.

"Hey, are you buying flowers?" a granny asked Ichigo.
"Ne, just a usual one.." he grinned. The granny smiled at his statement.
"So, let me guess, young boy. Is it for a special one?"
Ichigo coughed. He cleared his throat.
"h-how'd you know?"
The granny smiled and alleged "I used to be young too, mister."
"And I actually noticed it from your expression. This girl must be important, right?" she said as her fingers traced all the flowers. "Ah.." she said as she take away a striking red rose from its basket.
"I suggest you give her this. Young lady likes roses," she claimed, giving the rose to Ichigo.
"But I guess she likes white better.." he said.
"Then white it'll be.." That old lady nodded as she took the white one and give it to Ichigo. Ichigo took it and thanked her for being helpful, as he rushed to the park. He considered himself behind schedule as he noticed his watch shows the time of 12.08 in the afternoon.
Arriving at the park, he noticed a figure from a distance. One that he assumed to be Rukia, and the other one was a certain red-haired male we all knew. It's Abarai Renji.
"what's him doing with her?" He asked himself, feeling a little bit curious. Remembering both of them were best friends, Ichigo decided to put aside his curiosity and tip-toed towards them, in order to bestow them a surprise.
Everything was going so well until his eyes caught Renji was moving closer to her and his hand touched her head. Ichigo was about to swift when he suddenly saw Renji kissed Rukia. He blinked his eyes twice and stood there numbly, feeling hurt, really hurt. He dropped the rose and walked helplessly out of there.

Ichigo was drowsing, trying to forget what he had saw earlier when suddenly he heard a suspicious sound from the bush. He got up in alert.
"Halt! Who's there?" he screeched. Out of the blue, a long haired girl came out from her hiding and blushed.
"Ano, Gomen-ne, Kurosaki-kun.." she said, bowing her head.
"Inoue? What are you doing here?" Ichigo sighed. He wore his usually scowl, not wanting anyone know about his mixed feelings.
"ne, I saw you come here. It's your favourite spot, right Kurosaki-kun?" she said, moving forward and stretched her arms, feeling the breeze of the beach.
"yeah.." he replied and back to sit. Orihime turned back and sit beside him. Ichigo lowered his head to the ground.
"Kurosaki-kun, what's the matter?" Orihime asked. Ichigo sighed.
"Nothing." He replied.
"You can share it with me, Kurosaki-kun. Maybe I can help.." she inquired.
"It's nothing, Inoue.. I'm just.. hurt." He said, his thumb was massaging his nose bridge. Orihime nodded.
"It hurts isn't it? I understands your feelings.. When our love wasn't being replied by someone.." Orihime sighed.
"Inoue.." Ichigo looked at her.. Orihime giggled nervously.
"Ne.. Kurosaki-kun.. it doesn't mean anything.." she said, waving her hands. Ichigo sighed.
" I'm sorry, Inoue. But love can't be forced." He said. Orihime nodded.
"I understand." She tried to smile. "It's your birthday today, right?" ichigo asked.
"ne, how'd you know?" she asked him confusedly.
"I know."
He smiled. Ichigo went to his pocket and give Orihime one of the silver rings that he planned to give Rukia before. The one that has his name inside it. A dazed Orihime was speechless as she took the ring, taking a closer look at it and noticed something.
"Kurosaki-kun.. Is this ring really for me?" She questioned him. Ichigo nodded. Orihime smiled joyfully.
"It has your name inside it." She said as she placed it to her finger.
"Consider that as a present from me." He said, getting up and walked away.

"No! Rukia nee-chan wouldn't do that! I know her!" Yuzu yelled.
"And I thought I know her either.." Ichigo stated as he clenched his fist.
"Ichi-nii, don't you wanna go and search for some explanations?" yuzu suggested. Ichigo shakes his head no.
"Nothing to be explained of. I don't want to hear anything anymore. I've seen it, and that's that.." he sighed.
"Actually, I don't believe that is Rukia either. But my eyes prove that I am wrong. It is her." He stated.
"I'm going to my room. If there's anything, just call me." Ichigo walked inside. Yuzu sighed.
"Ichi-nii.. you are so stubborn.. Why don't you go and asked rukia nee-chan what happened, instead of avoiding things like this?"
