Dream

flashback

Ichigo stared at the two people sleeping at his couch. Normally he wouldn't give a damn about people unless they were in danger, but these two looked and acted so out of place that for a moment he thought they were crazy when he met them earlier that day.

Ichigo just finished off a Hollow in the park.

"Huh, there's been an unusually large amount of hollows appearing recently," he said to himself, "yet none of them have even put up a challenge...oh well, at least I don't have a certain someone nagging at me about how I still shouldn't let my guard down." Ichigo took a moment for himself to look up at the sky, 'I wish you'd at least visit though,' he thought to himself, 'believe it or not...I miss you...'

Ichigo was about to make his way home when a door appeared out of thin air in front of him. The door opened and two figures fell face first onto the ground in front of him. One of the figures was a man, or rather a short guy; with white hair, what Ichigo would make out as a scar on his eye in the shape of a pentacle with a gash that stretched from the bottom of it to just above his jaw line, and what Ichigo could only describe as a monstrous like claw as his arm. The second figure was a girl that appeared to be somewhat close to the guy's age; she had deep blue hair that stood somewhat like spikes causing Ichigo to think that it kind of resembled Tatsuki's hair, her skin was grey-like and she had what appeared to be cross shaped scars around her forehead.

The guy was the first to stand and help the girl up. The girl appeared to be puzzled by his action, though to Ichigo it appeared as though she enjoyed the fact that he was helping her.

"Road, where the hell did you take us?" the guy asked.

"I don't know Allen, really." Road replied taking a look at her surroundings and spotting Ichigo, "What's with the samurai look?" she asked him.

"Wha- you can see me!?" Ichigo was shocked, no normal person could see him...unless they were gifted or dead.

"Yeah, we can see you," Allen responded, "and as much as I'd like to know were we are," he paused for a moment, "Why are you dressed like that?"

"I can ask you the same, what's with the formal wear?" Ichico responded.

"Well, I've always worn this, what's wrong with- wait I'm getting off track here," Allen turned back to Road, "We may be in a different location, but that doesn't mean I won't beat you, leave you here, and go back."

"Allen, I just have to ask, why not kill me?" Road asked looking at him with a smirk, "I've killed some of your friends and so many people, why would you let me live?" Road was getting closer to Allen and Ichigo decided to watch the event in front of him unfold on its own.

"Because..." Allen was having a hard time coming up with the right words, "...because you like me..."

"Yes, that's true," Road replied, "but you still hate me don't you? Why would you care about my life when you hate me because I'm a Noah and your mission is to kill me?"

"Because I don't hate you for being a Noah!" Allen responded then he muttered something under his breath, "I hate you because I like you..." Allen hoped that Road didn't catch what he said, but Road's ears were sharp enough to hear him.

"R...really?" to say that Road was shocked was an understatement. She had take interest in Allen since they met, but she never thought he would accept her. She quickly dismissed the thought thinking that he was trying to manipulate her. Suddenly remembering the fact that someone else had been nearby and turned to Ichigo only to find him reading a news paper, this surprised Ichigo more that Road because he never reads the paper unless the headline is interesting.

"What are you doing?" Road asked

"Reading the paper, I got bored when your boyfriend there got all mushy." Ichigo responded dully.

Road turned to Allen who was slightly blushing at the fact that he was called her boyfriend, the thought even ran freely through his mind for a moment but it quickly fadded when he noticed something in Ichigo's newspaper. Allen's eyes went wide and he quickly snatched the paper from Ichigo's hands with enough force that the sides of it were torn off.

"Hey, what the hell!?" Ichigo was surprised at Allen's sudden movement but didn't budge from his place. Allen only held the paper in his hands shaking slightly.

"Allen...Allen...ALLEN!" Road finally got Allen's attention. Allen stared at her, not out of annoyance or anger, but shock giving her a what-the-hell-did-you-do kind of face. "What?" Road asked after seeing Allen stare at her for about a minute. Allen held the paper up to her face underlining the date with his thumb. Road was shocked.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you guys? You never seen a newspaper before?" Ichigo asked.

"Uhh...we have, but...that's not what rattled us," Allen replied, "Is this a joke or is the date correct?" Allen pointed at the date.

"What, have you been living under a rock or something? Of course it's the right date!" Ichigo responded.

Allen turned to Road, "I knew you could travel dimensions, but time? Since when could you do that!?"

"Don't look at me," Road snapped, "It was probably your stupid attack that messed up the space in the door I summoned that got us in this mess!" Road was flailing her arms in the air, "We missed the whole WAR!" Road froze at her words.

"Road...if we did miss the war...and we're still here...then the exorcists won." Allen replied with worry, "The Earl was defeated, but...Road, what happens to the Noah's?" Allen knew he should have been happy beyond all reason, but the thought that Road lost the people that she considered her family was eating away at him.

"They...they lose their powers...and become human..." Road replied shaking slightly, but her face became one of confusion, "Wait, the exorcists are also supposed to lose their power because their's no need of them afterward! How the hell do you still have yours!?" Allen looked down at his arm and realized he still had his Innocence activated.

"You're right, but-" Allen was cut off but the sound of an explosion nearby. Looking up he saw a water fountain nearby in pieces with Road nearby.

"I still have my own power," Road commented, "and if I still have my own power...I can get back!" Road was about to summon a door when she felt a hand grab her own. She turned around to find Allen, his eyes were staring deep into her.

"Road...maybe we don't need to go back." Allen commented. Road wasn't sure, but she thought she could hear some hope in his voice. "Maybe we were supposed to leave," Allen continued, "I mean...If the war was still on..." He nervous beyond all reason at this point, "I-if the war was still on...then we wouldn't have a chance at getting to know each other." Road was beyond shocked, originally she thought that he was trying to manipulate her by saying he liked her but what he just said brutally murdured the idea.

"Allen...I-" Road didn't know what to say. At this point Ichigo was asleep and snoring. He woke abruptly and sat up.

"Hate to spoil your moment here," Ichigo began, "but if you can see me then you can probably see Hollows, meaning they'll probably come after you. If we don't send them off they'll kill other people to get stronger by eating their soul"

Allen's eye suddenly activated, he could see a creature in the distance and the soul inside, but this was nothing like the Akuma's souls, this was the personality of the soul itself. Allen could see that this soul was in pain, not physically but emotionally. "Road, I know you're not the hero type, but I think we should help him get rid of these creatures." He commented as he saw three more appear.

Road laughed softly, "Well bring 'em on then, I needed to kill something ugly anyway."

Ichigo cut in, "If you're done talking now how about we beat these Hollows and then we go to my house and you explain what the hell is going on with you two?."

"Sure, but first long story short, we were enemies and now we were somehow sent two hundred years into the future." Allen commented.

"I'd like to say you're crazy, but I've seen enough shit to believe you." Ichigo replied with a smirk.

'Allen Walker and Road Camelot' Ichigo thought to himself, 'Weird names, if I didn't try to hold back I probably would've laughed my ass off when they told me.'

"Ichigo!" He truned his head to see his sister Karin snapping her fingers at him, "I said, who are your friends?"

"Oh, the guy's Allen and the girl's Road." Ichigo replied. Karin chuckled. "What's so funny?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't know why, but his reminds me of the time you met Rukia." she replied quickly gasping and slapping her hands over her mouth, "I'm sorry Ichigo!"

"Its ok, don't worry about it." Ichigo replied.

"Hey, Ichigo!" called out Isshin. Ichigo readied himself for his father's attack, but it never came, "You have a package waiting for you at the door."

"Why didn't you bring it it?" Ichigo asked

"You need to sign for it." Isshin replied, "What kind of father would I be if I didn't make my son sign for his own packages?"

"A better one." Ichigo mumbled making his way to the front door. Ichigo signed for the package, which was large...and odd since he wasn't expecting anything. After signing he said thanks to the carrier, but the carrier didn't leave, "Don't you have other deliveries to make?" Ichgo asked sharply.

"None are as adorable as this one." replied the carrier.

Ichigo was confused and he removed the tape from the top of the box. He was about to open the top flaps when someone flew out of the box and into him knocking him down while they wraped their arms around his neck, "SURPRISE BAKA!"

"What the hell!?" Ichigo looked down at the person on him was met with shock, "R-rukia!?" Rukia just looked up at him. Ichigo couldn't hold back, "You stupid midget, do you know how long you've been gone!?" he said while wrapping his arms around her and pulling here as close as he could. Rukia was surprised, she didn't think she'd be missed this much.

"What's all the noise?" Road asked sleepily getting up from the couch to see Rukia on Ichigo, "Wow, now they mail you a girl? Guys must've stopped trying after two hundred years."

Rukia looked at Road puzzled, then turned to Ichigo with a questioning look while pointing at Road. "Long story." he replied.

"Road? what's going on?" Allen asked getting up and seeing the exact same thing as Road, "Whoa, you work fast Ichigo." Rukia quickly got off of Ichigo, both still blushing.

"So why'd you come in a box?" Ichigo asked.

"I was on my way here when I saw an advertisement," Rukia explained, "It said, 'The best way to get to those you care about' and it had the name of the company which happened to be nearby so I asked and then I was in a box."

Ichigo turned to the carrier who was smiling like a lightbulb. "It's true," he responded, "she came in asking to be mailed to your home, It was the funniest thing we'd ever heard so we decided to do it free of charge!" Ichigo knew better, there was a price, and his suspicions were confirmed by the camcorder he barely saw in the carrier's hand.

"Hey!" Ichigo sprang at the carrier, but he was already in his truck and sped off. Ichigo turned to look at the others, "Well I hope you like being on the web because people will be asking you about this for a while."

Later that day Isshin, Karin, and Yuzu left the house. Isshin was going to attend a medical conference for two weeks while Karin and Yuzu were going to spend that same timespan at a friends house, "And then there were four." Road commented.

"How about we watch a movie?" Rukia suggested, "You guys probably haven't seen one before have you?"

"We have." Allen responded, "Just because we're from two hundred years back doesn't mean we didn't have some of the tech here. Not that anyone outside the order knew."

"What are you gonna put?" Ichigo asked curiously.

"A Horror movie." Rukia responded. Ichigo led Allen to the kitchen to help him get the popcorn and Rukia used this chance to talk to Road, "Hey, Allen said you were the enemy where you two came from. Why aren't you trying to attack us or start that war again?" Road turned to face Rukia.

"I guess because Allen had a point," Road replied, "why go back to a war that already ended? Now I can at least have a chance with Allen."

"Have a chance?" Rukia asked surprised, "He practically screamed he wants to be with you!"

"Its just..." Road began, "I don't think I can change for him, there's a lot of things that are probably not to his liking and its not easy to stay away from those because they're me." Rukia took a seat at the middle of the couch and motioned for Road to sit next to her.

"Hey, I don't think Allen would want you to change," Rukia commented, "just the 'don't kill anyone' part but is that really something that defines you? I don't think so. You enjoy it, but if things do work out with you and Allen, then you can at least torture other girls in their dreams if they hit on him." Road looked up at Rukia with a malicious smile on her face.

Allen and Ichigo walked in as Road replied to Rukia, "You really have a good point there."

"What are you two up to?" Ichigo asked.

"Nooooothing" Rukia replied in a sweet voice. Ichigo knew very well that Rukia was up to something, but he let it go because he'd been dying to see this movie.

After placing the bowls of popcorn on the table in front of the couch Ichigo pressed play and took his seat next to Rukia. The guys were forced to the sides of the couch as the girls claimed the middle of the couch. Halfway through the movie, Rukia began to unconciously hold on to Ichigo from the suspense. Ichigo instinctively reacted and placed his arm around her and hugged her close. The plot line began to approach the climax and several of the cast were being killed, Rukia and Ichigo were horrified. Not because of the killings, but because Road was laughing and enjoying each moment, giving out a comment every now and then like "That was genius!" or "Oh, come on! I could have done that one better!" or even "Hmm...that one wasn't messy enough."

The movie ended and Allen remembered that the light switch next to him, he flipped the switch revealing a sleeping Road with her head on his lap. Ichigo and Rukia realized that they were still hugging and quickly pulled apart and looked the other way blushing.

"Uhh...you guys can use Rukia's room to sleep." Ichigo quickly stated.

"What about Rukia?" Allen asked.

"Yeah, what about me!?" Rukia chimed.

"Why are you complaining?" Ichigo snapped, "You never used it! You like my closet better than your own room for some reason!" Rukia started to reply, but Allen couldn't hear her as he had quietly left with Road in his arms headed for the room Ichigo lent them. Upon entering the room, Allen placed Road in the bed and pulled the blankets up to her neck. He was about to leave the room to look to a spare blanket or sleeping bag when he felt a tug. He turned to see Road asleep but her hand was gripping on to his, unwilling to let go. Allen began to pry off Road's hand when he saw her expression twist into pain, not from him removing her hand, but from what appeared to be a nightmare.

"Allen...don't go...its over...please stay...I...promise not to hurt...anyone... " Road spoke unconsciously. Allen couldn't help but let his remaining hatred for her fade away. He took a nearby chair and placed it in front of the bed and sat there, drifting off while caressing her hand with his thumb.

"Take the bed." Rukia looked at Ichigo, surprised by his words.

"The great and stubborn Ichigo? Giving up his bed to me without a fight?" Rukia commented, "The world is going to end, oh no!" She began to run in circles with her hands above her head, making the impression of a scared civilian. Ichigo didn't retort or even scrowl, he just grabbed a few spare blankets, placed them on the floor, and lied down.

"If you're done now, let's get some sleep." he commented, "We've got school tomorrow and we have two late registering students in the house, along with you having to explain why you didn't come the first few days."

"Fine." Rukia fell onto the bed and pulled up the covers, "Ichigo..."

"What?"

"The light's on."

Ichigo sighed as he got up and turned of the light. He was about to lie down when he heard Rukia, "Ichigo?"

"What now?"

"I'm...sorry I didn't visit earlier..." Ichigo was beyond stunned. Rukia was apologizing to him even though a few minutes ago they were back to the way things were.

"Its ok," He replied, "You're here now at least."

"Ichigo?"

"Hmm?"

"You think...you know you don't have to sleep on the floor," Rukia commented, "I'm only a guest."

"I'll take the offer," Ichigo said grinning victoriously, "The floor's too rough anyway." Rukia was about to jump off the bed when Ichigo crawled in, blocking her way out.

"Ichigo, you're in the way." She said irritaded.

"What? Do you have to go to the bathroom?" he asked sleepily, "For a gust you sure are bothersome. Rukia fell back and turned to face away from Ichigo with her back to him. She was about to drift away when she felt and arm wrap around her waist and pull her closer to Ichigo. She was ready to elbow him in the gut and mutilate his body when she heard him whisper, "A guest I don't want to lose again you know."

Rukia felt her body freeze, she had been glad to see Ichigo again, but she never gave deep thought to what she felt about him. Maybe she could give him a chance. She let herself drift off in Ichigo's arms giving herself one last thought with a smile before she did, 'Baka.'
