Five Minutes of IchiRuki

Here is a challenge for all readers. This is a five minute IchiRuki story. Please play the song – All Alone with You – by EGOTIST while listening to this song and see if the music matches the feel of the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or the characters. I own this challenge I created for myself.


All Alone with You

Ichigo wasn't sure what it was about her. Perhaps it was her personality or determination or possibly the fact that she reminded him of something he'd long since lost. In any case, none of that mattered.

Rukia Kuchiki changed his world, completely and utterly changed it. Not only the obvious notions but the small ones that no one ever imagined. She gave him strength, confidence, and a purpose in life…and death.

She kept the rain at bay…because she was standing next to him.


Rukia wasn't sure what it was about him. He was not what she expected, from the moment they'd met. She'd been the one assigned to protect and yet, she found herself being the one protected. It was a strange feeling that she was unaccustomed to.

Ichigo Kurosaki had been someone she could trust completely. Never in all her life would she have imagined it. She'd lived for over a hundred years and yet, no one filled her with more confidence and faith than him.

He brought hope and life back to her…by saying he had come to save her.


It was strange how they never realized just how alike they were. Both of them had been alone for so long. They wanted someone, anyone to be by their side. Why was it that, after so many years of searching, they finally found each other?

Some call it fate…others call it luck.

The simplest explanation is that they finally found what they had been seeking for so long. Not because they were looking for it, but because their souls had always called out for it…and they found it in each other.

Now, they could be alone…

Together.

Hello my beautiful readers! I know, I didn't post a new chapter of my latest story but honestly, I've been having horrible writers block lately. I need more time to get inspiration and I'm working hard to get the chapter out as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I decided to give myself a challenge to get creative juices flowing! Also, a special thanks Flyleaftwin for giving me inspiration and encouragement! ;)

This was a five minutes writing challenge that went just a little over five minutes. Basically, I emptied my mind and just wrote the first things that came, regarding IchiRuki. My mind latched onto that song and thus, this story was born.

It's not at all like my usual work but I think it turned out fine. Leave a review to tell me your opinions of it. I might do more of these in the future but for now, I'm calling it a one-shot.
