What did you say?

CHAPTER 1: The Girl: Kuchiki Rukia
"What did you say?"
I couldn't believe my ears. He's got to be joking, right?
But the seriousness burning in his eyes told me otherwise.
Flabbergasted, shocked, disbelieving… All these expressions were clearly etched on my face.
I wondered if he found it funny. He looked so… serious.
I tried to rearrange my features, but to no avail. Those words were still resonating in my ears like an echo.
"I love you, Rukia."
The wild rokubantai fukutaichou and my one and only best friend, Abarai Renji, just told me he loves me.
…more than I imagine.
