Okay, I was going to update my other fanfiction, but, I had an epiphany. (Choir singing: AAAAAWWWW)

Oookkaaayyy….. anyways my idea came from the song Marry Me by Train I love that song. It is soooooooo cute any ways I hope that you like the first chapter of my second fan fiction.

Disclaimer – I do not own bleach other wise Ichigo would have totally written Rukia a song. I also don't own the song Marry Me by Train. All rights go to their respected owners.

Rukia

20 year old Rukia kuchiki sat in her little café on the corner; it had been almost two years since she had first started the business. It was almost opening time and she walked around the room once more, to make sure that everything was in its place.

The smell of fresh coffee and cake lingering in the air surrounded her as she weaved her way between the tables.

She smiled to herself, happy with how everything looked, and then turned around to her employees, who were readying themselves for the morning rush.

"Okay" Rukia said calling everyone's attention to her. "Lets make this happen. This is the first time that we are doing a holiday special and it is a little more confusing, but, I really want it to work. Can we do this?" she said to the three people facing her.

"Yes maim" they all chimed together and smiled.

She smiled back at them and continued, "Okay, Momo because this is your first time, I am going to need you in the back helping me with making the food and when I go out to the cash register I will send Toushiro back to help you okay?" she asked the small girl pointing over to her assistant manager.

"Okay" she said looking over at Toushiro.

"Toushiro, you will be out in the front for the first part and after the first hour is over I will send you back to work with Momo." She told him, he nodded to her in response.

"Okay, lets go." She said.

The first three hours went by fast for Rukia as she backed cake, made coffee, and attended to costumers. It didn't feel like very long until the rush was over. After that she let her employees go out and take a brake for an hour while she stayed there.

She sat behind the counter looking around the room. There were a couple people there, but it had slowed down quite a lot. A bell rang as the door to the shop opened up and in walked a boy with bright orange hair and a scowl on his face. He didn't look to be much older than her, maybe a year or two. He was rather good looking, well he could have been if he didn't bleach his hair and have that scowl on his face.

"Hello" she said with a smile on her face, "is there anything I can get you?" she asked him.

He looked down at her and said "yea, one small white chocolate mocha."

"Okay," she said with a still smiling "I will have that ready for you in just one minute."

She quickly made the coffee and handed it to him telling him the price. After he handed her exact change he went over to a booth and opened up his briefcase took out a large stack of papers and started to write something down.

Every once in a while he would stop what he was doing and look at her like he was going to ask her something but every time she would look back at him he would quickly turn his head away. Rukia didn't think much of it though. It had been about an hour, and her employees had just come back to work. He then packed up his things and left.

The rest of the day went by slow and busy and by the time Rukia had closed the shop she was completely exhausted.

She put on her coat and walked out the front door locking it behind her. It was November twentieth and freezing outside. As she walked home to her apartment it started to snow. Rukia looked up into the sky and smiled. She loved the snow; it always made her feel happy.

When she was walking into her building, someone walked out and passed by her, and she could have sworn that he had orange hair, though she couldn't see it very well because he had a gray beanie on his head.

'How strange' she thought to herself 'he looked just like that boy that was in my café today' she looked back at the person now walking away from her and she smiled 'whatever I just want to go home and go to sleep.' Yes, sleep sounded so good right now, she could hardly wait to get upstairs and fall into a deep sleep until morning.

The next day went about the same as before. The only difference was that Momo had accidentally burnt some of the cakes in the oven.

"Can you smell something burning?" asked Toushiro with a worried expression.

"Shit" Rukia yelled running into the back, but quickly came back to apologize to the costumers about her language. She then ran back into the kitchen again to see a teary-eyed momo holding a cake pan.

"Momo?" Rukia asked trying to keep her composure.

Momo looked over at Rukia and started to cry "I am so s-s-sorry Rukia, I didn't mean to burn the c-cake but I guess that I left them in for too long." She stuttered.

Rukia feeling sorry for the girl softened her expression. "It's okay Momo, don't worry about it." She said as she went over to the crying girl and took the tray from her setting it down on a counter and giving her a comforting hug.

Momo pulled away from her and asked "are you going to fire me?" Rukia was stunned. Why would she fir her? After all it was only the girls second day here. "No Momo I am not going to fir you." She said to the small girl. This seemed to brighten the girls mood and she smiled up and Rukia and said enthusiastically "Don't worry; I swear I will never do this again." Rukia smiled, "don't worry about it, just make sure to fallow exactly what it says on the instructions next time." "Okay" she said.

Rukia looked over at the clock and then looked back at Momo. "It's time for your break. Why don't you go outside and wait for Toushiro and Renji to finish what they are doing, then you can all go together."

Momo smiled up at her "Okay." She ran to the door but just before she went out she added "thank you Rukia."

Rukia turned to her "No thanks needed" she said. And with that the girl gave her one last smile and went out the door.

Rukia sighed and walked out of the kitchen. When she did the first thing that she saw was an orange haired boy sitting against the counter waiting for her to come out. "Oh, hello "she said, the boy turned to her and gave her a little smile 'hmm' she thought 'he looks good when he smiles' Rukia mentally slapped herself for thinking that. "What can I get for you today?" she asked him

"I would like a white chocolate mocha" he said and then smiled a little bit bigger and added "and your name." Rukia was a little taken a back at what he had just said, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled. "Rukia" she said then went and made his coffee. As she was making it she heard him say "nice to meet you Rukia, I am Ichigo Kurosaki." She handed him his drink and typed some numbers into the cash register in front of her and told him the total.

"wait" he said with a frown on his face "that is more then I paid yesterday" "you asked for my name as well, so I had to add that to the total." She said smirking. "wha-" He said mumbling something under his breath then looking at her again and smirked handing her exact change again. Then went and sat down in the same spot that he had sat before. He opened up his briefcase and took out the same stack of papers and started to work on them again.

As Rukia cleaned she could see him glace at her every now and again but would quickly look away if she looked at him. As the minutes ticked by Rukia found that she was doing the same thing as him. She would go out of her way just to be able to steal a glance at him and if she ever got caught she would turn her head away and pretend that she was looking somewhere else, but in the corner of her eye she could see him smile at her every time it happened.

After an hour passed he started to clean up what he was doing and at the same time that he was leaving Rinji, Toushiro, and Momo walked through the door. They were smiling and laughing, but even though the room became filled with the sound of warm laughter, Rukia couldn't help but fill a little put down as she watched Ichigo leave.

"Rukia?" she heard Toushiro call her as she snapped back into reality. She realized that she had been staring at the door for some time now. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern in his eyes.

She blinked staring at him then smiled "yea I am okay." She said "why do you ask?"

He shrugged "you just look like your not feeling so great today." She smiled again "no, I am just fine."

"Well then shall we get back to work?" asked the ever happy Momo. Everyone nodded and got back to their jobs that they were assigned.

It was snowing again as Rukia walked back to her home but she didn't care in the least. She could see Christmas lights hung on trees and fence posts. Ah yes, it was that time of year again. The time when everywhere she went she could see snow on the ground and lights hung up on and around houses. She decided to take the long way home, seeing as how she was not as tired as she was yesterday and really she wanted to walk around and look at all the beauty that surrounded her at this time of the year.

As she walked she came up to an outdoor skating ring and behind it a large tree made of strings of lights with a huge star at the top. She smiled looking up at it taking in its beauty. Then she looked near the bottom of the tree and saw a familiar face. 'Ichigo?' She asked herself as she started to walk towards him.

As she got closer she saw that he was holding a guitar and writing something down on a piece of paper every time he would play a chord on it. 'Is he writing music?' she asked herself 'he didn't strike me as the type to do that.' He then stopped playing random chords and started to play the song that he had written down on the paper.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The sound was so soft and beautiful. She loved it but, it sounded like it was missing something. Ichigo seemed to feel the same way because he suddenly stopped and grunted disapprovingly. Rukia took this as her time leave.

The whole way back to her house Rukia was thinking about what his song was missing. It was right on the tip of her tong but she just could not grasp it. 'if only I could hear the tune one more time, then maybe I might be able to come up with something' she thought to herself as she was walking into the door of her apartment. She sighed "well I shouldn't dwell on anything that is not my concern" she said to herself while shrugging off her coat. "But for some reason I feel like I should be concerned about it…" she thought out loud. She pushed that thought away and decided to try to think about something else, like sleep. She went to her room and crashed on the bed, not realizing how tired she was and fell asleep in an instant.
