"Thank you, Ichigo." She told him while leaning on his right shoulder. They are on the roof of his house, watching the stars.
"Thank you for what?" he asked Rukia. He touched her silky smooth raven hair and smelled it.
"It's been a year, isn't it? Since you saved me from my execution." She answered.
"Yeah, I was almost killed back then." He said jokingly.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Hey, don't take it seriously! Remember really wanted to save you badly then. I'll do anything just to save you."
Rukia fell silent. She remembered that at first, she didn't Ichigo to save her. She was worried about him. But in truth, she was happy to know that Ichigo didn't want her to die.
"But Ichigo, why did you save me back then?"
"Well, hmmm…" he thought. His face suddenly went serious. "Back then, my reason was that because you saved me and my family. And you changed my world. I became a substitute shinigami. I was able to protect my loved ones from harm because of you."
Rukia couldn't say anything. She was expecting different.
"But before I knew it," Ichigo continued, "I had a different reason. I just didn't realize it."
"So, what is it?" she asked him.
Ichigo looked straight at Rukia. "I think I can explain it better in action." he said. He embraced her.
Rukia blushed. She understood it. Yes, Ichigo did explain it better in his action.
"I love you, Rukia."
"I love you too, Ichigo."
Ichigo broke from the hug and held Rukia's chin. Before she knew it, his lips were already on hers. After what seems to be hours, they broke apart.
"You just didn't change my world, Rukia. You enliven it."
