Ah. Sunlight. Yes. I can see the light from the windows of my bedroom. Such a great scene, everyday, waking up and seeing lots of things. I am truly amazed at how this world keeps things on moving. Since I was blind when I was born, even my parents refused to take care of me. But, for some unknown reason, a rich man adopted me when he saw me on the road.
Flashback
BEEP! BEEP!
I heard the sound of cars.
I wonder what's happening. Since I cannot see anything, I wonder why those sounds are so near me? Could it be that I'm the cause of those sounds? Must be because I'm going to get bumped by a car, as what my siblings have wanted to happen to me. Who cares, I'm just a blind girl who can't do anything right.
"Are you hurt, little girl?", a strict, yet gentle voice said. It's the first time I heard someone talked to me with such kindness. I like this feeling. It's the feeling I have never felt before. Just then, I felt myself crying, I don't know why I cried. I just did. Then, I felt my breath becoming heavy. I don't know what happened next.
I heard voices.
"Are the files done?"
"Not yet, Kuchiki-sama. We need the name of the child."
"Ah, yes. Her name. I actually have not asked her yet. But, if I found out that she has no name, I'll call you and just put "Rukia Kuchiki" on her files. Understood?"
"Hai, Kuchiki-sama."
It's that voice again. Yet, it had become so strict now. Files? I've heard what files are before, and documents, too. But what are those files for?
"What's your name, child?", it's that voice again. Now, it has become gentle again. What is my name? I have already forgotten my name. Since I've been thrown away by my families, I never try to remember the name they had given. They had given me a name, yes. But all the things I experienced from them are.. are.. those are the memories I never want to remember again. Yes, I threw all my memories, even my name away.
"Who are you?", was the reply I gave to "him".
"You're not yet answering my question. What's your name? And well, I am, rather, I adopted you since yesterday. Call me your "nii-sama"."
"Nii-sama? Hai.. nii - sama.. I, I don't know what my name is."
"Have you any memory?"
"Memories? I.. I don't know.. "
"Then I shall call you Rukia. Once your files are done, you will be called Rukia Kuchiki. And I noticed. Are you blind? Can't you see?"
"Nii..sama.. I can't see anything. Ever since I came to this world.. I am blind, yes, Nii-sama, I'm blind."
"Well then, I'll surely find a donor for you so don't worry."
I'm adopted. Adopted to a very caring family.
"Arigatou, Nii-sama", and with that, I smiled.
End of Flashback.

I think it took a month or two for "Nii-sama" to find a donor for me. And those months, while waiting for a donor, Nii-sama took me to places I have never been before. He even took me to a park where I even got lost. I remember hearing him tell me to stay there in a certain place for a while so I nodded. It took him a long time to return to my side so I decided to take a stroll until I felt some people bumped me. Not some people, a lot of them. That's when I realized that I can't go back where I first was. Since I'm blind, I keep on shouting "Nii-sama! Nii-sama.. where are you?" And it seems that no one is minding me. I'm used to it. No one minds a blind girl, actually. And then, someone talked to me. He is the second nicest person I have ever met.
Flashback
"Oi, who are you? Stop shouting will you, or are you lost?"
I turned around guessing this person is there. Then I heard him talk again. Since he sounds more masculine than my voice, I concluded that he's a boy.
"Oi, don't you turn around from me, chibi. I'm here at your front!"
Chibi?! Who is a chibi? ME? I never wanted to be called chibi. I have a name, a name that my Nii-sama had given me. So I answered back.
"Chibi? I am not a chibi! Just because you're a boy does not mean you can call a blind girl like me a chibi!"
"Ah, so you're lost, eh? What's your name?"
"Say sorry first! Say sorry for calling me a chibi!"
"Agghh, such a noisy girl. Hai, Hai, Gomen, gomen. So, what's your name?"
"Rukia Kuchiki. How about you?"
"Kuchiki? You mean, you're from that family? You're living with Kuchiki Byakuya, the richest man in this town!?"
"Eh? Nii-sama is that famous?"
"Nii-sama?! So you're his sister but I've never heard of you. By the way, I'm Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo. Let's be friends, alright and I'll help you look for your "Nii-sama" "
"A-Arigatou, Ichigo", then I smiled.
End of Flashback

It's that time when I felt something that I have never felt before. It's not even the same feeling as when I met Nii-sama. I wonder just what it really is? And for some reasons, I want to feel that again. He seems to be a rude person to me at first, but when he helped me find Nii-sama, while walking, he keeps on talking and I can say that he's a very cheerful person. How lucky, he must have been living a happy life. Somehow, I wish to meet him again and see how he looks like.
And now, I am really grateful to Nii-sama. Because of him, I can see now. So, in return, I have to keep my grades in school high. I want to be someone that Nii-sama will be proud of.
Someday, he said, I might just be the one to run the Kuchiki Company. I really love my Nii-sama. He is the most wonderful person ever. Because of all the kindness he had given me, every time I am with him, I feel so happy,like I have been reborn anew.
So, another day had begun again. Well, I gotta get ready for breakfast and school. I hope something exciting will happen today. And I am hoping to meet... to meet... Ichigo again since he's the only friend I've ever had. But now that I am a bit older than before, I guess he already forgot about me. I might just be a useless person in his life. I wonder how long it has been, since I last talked to him.
Everyday, there's this feeling of longing. I should be happy, right? Since there is Nii-sama who helps me out a lot. A big house, or a mansion where I live. And servants around me. To most people, it might just be the best life they are gonna live out. I agree with that, but, ever since I can see, it still is a bit the same from when I was blind. Still, no one would be my friend. No one would want to talk to me, even my classmates in school, they are all walking away from me. I wonder, why?
Then I remember, I heard someone say,"Nee, don't you dare go near that Kuchiki girl. She's rich and super smart. Who knows, maybe she'll just be a snobby brat."
Another person even stated,"How dare she got adopted by Kuchiki-sama? She's just a useless girl! I heard she was even blind when Kuchiki-sama adopted her. And how lucky, she even has the highest grades in this school! I think she's just sweet-talking to the teachers, then paying them so they will give her high grades."
Is that how they think of me? Is that how people talked about me? Just because Nii-sama adopted me, they think like that about me... What a unique life I have. I cannot describe it. Was I happy? Was I sad?
The answer, I do not know.
But then, I would want to meet him, Ichigo, again. Maybe he will be willing to be my friend, after all, I consider him as a .... "Childhood Friend".

A/N
Well.. uhhh.. this is my first fanfic.. Yes.. my first attempt in writing a would-be romantic fanfic about Ichigo and Rukia. I am not a good writer as you can see, but who cares, we're free to write, right?
Feel free to throw rude, harsh, and spicy reviews to me! Because I do know that this fic have a rather dull introduction.. ja, until next time.
*I edited the first chapter.. coz I found some mistakes.. and no one's willing to check it for me.. so.. here's an editted version..
Once I make up my mind on how Chapter 2 will go, I'll surely post a new chapter.. My mind is cluttered with ideas, but I think those are all SO cliche! So, I'm sure to make up my mind soon, coz one of my best friends helped me think of an idea ^_^
So, sorry if this chapter (edited version) is still as boring as ever.. I'm suppose to delete the first one, but then, there are already 5 reviews.. and i don't wan to lose those REVIEWS!! Those are precious to me.. xD
