A/N: Hey I'm back with yet another pairing! I don't own Bleach, hope you like it.
Chapter 1
Rukia Kuchiki had always been taught that emotions were useless and to be ignored, so for the majority of her life she had been used to blocking out her emotions and living her life as a strong woman. That was until had met Renji Abarai, many years ago when she was just a young adult in Rukongai, he had brought laughter and life into her life and as of recent- love. The day that Byakuya had taken her in was the day her heart broke and her cold emotional mask returned, she had never wanted to leave, she had wanted to stay with him because he was wherever her heart was- but he wanted her to go. Only recently had she began to become closer with him, and just like before her heart would flutter whenever she saw him, he was so handsome and the little things he'd say or do would make her go crazy. It was useless denying it, she was utterly in love with Renji Abarai.
Renji was also in love with Rukia, he couldn't tell her, he couldn't face the rejection so he hinted with small actions or words and yet still- nothing. It was like she was totally oblivious, or maybe she just didn't love him back. He had loved Rukia for as long as he could remember, he loved being by her side, she was so beautiful, she would never fall for a stray like him. The day Byakuya had taken her he'd never felt so sad, his heart had left with her, but he's told her to go, he'd wanted her to have the best in life and he knew he was by no means the best thing for her. But recently, ever since he'd been promoted to Lieutenant of the 6th squad he's gotten closer to her again. He'd wanted to tell her how he felt for so long and every time he got close, his pride would kick in and he'd end up not saying anything. They both wanted the same thing but they both had the same problem- pride. They were too proud to tell each other their feelings, and thus they had been in the sane frustrating situation for over 4 years.
"Today is the day I'm going to tell him" Rukia said brightly to her mirror as she tried to tame her wild locks, she applied a small amount of make-up, changed into her shihakusho before leaving the Kuchiki manor- and there he was, waiting for her outside the gates. His hair was up in it's usual pineapple style with his white bandana, his shihakusho was on and the chest was slightly open, teasing Rukia with a small amount of his well toned chest that made her blush deeply. He had his usual smirk on as he slouched against the wall. As he saw her approach he smiled and gave a small, tired wave, her hair was down and framing her beautiful face, her shihakusho was on, cruelly covering the curves that Renji so desperately thought of, he noticed that her face looked brighter and her eyelashes looked longer, he gave her a confused look "what's up with your face" he asked blatantly, not noticing the deep blush of embarrassment on her face. Inwardly Rukia was crying, not only did he not notice that she had make-up on, he thought she looked ridiculous! She huffed angrily at him "nothing, we'd best get going" she said icily as she turned her back on him, her anger and sadness welling up inside of her.
Renji sighed to himself as he ran to catch up with the icy Goddess in front of him, he just didn't understand what was up with her, he'd only just seen her and already she was angry with him. He finally caught up with her, determined to confess.
