Hey everyone. This is my first story for Bleach and of course IchiRuki… I hope you will enjoy this…I don't own Bleach –even to your surprise-
Looking Back
"No words can describe my happiness…I am feeling like the hole in my chest has filled up. I haven't even realized how much I have missed him. I hate this feeling of loneliness, the feeling of not knowing if he is safe or not…And this time was worse than the previous. Well, that it is not true, I was worried when he fought with the hollow that killed his mother, I was about to go crazy when I was waiting for my execution, wondering if he is alive or not, I was worried…Oh god, I always worry about him. That is irritating, I mean he will be safe and stupid as always, and he will always come with that lovely smile and those emotional brown eyes…"
"Hey Rukia…Wake up…" Ichigo looked at her pissed off but at the same time worried. She was obviously thinking about something, but her face was weird… "Is she daydreaming or something?" She had a peaceful smile on her face, her violet eyes were looking the sky. The air was blowing her hair back, letting Ichigo have a better look at her face. "She looks like an angel…WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?"
"What is with that strange face of yours?" Rukia asked him, while she was looking at him like he was a crazy person
"No…nothing" Ichigo knitted his eyebrows "STOP LOOKING AT ME WITH THAT WEIRD FACE!"
"I am not weird YOU are weird…but wait…did you call me weird? YOU carrot-head" She yelled
"How did you call me?" The young man was about to explode…but he tried to calm himself "Whatever you say midget"
"You…you" The petite shinigami started to tremble from anger. Her friend put out his tongue, and looked at her eyes…Both froze, the memories crushed their minds…Fear, dark, loneliness, pain, despair, anger, trust, friendship, love…
"We shared lots of emotions, didn't we?" Rukia smiled kind to her friend
"We share lots emotions, don't we?" Ichigo corrected her. She waved and smiled at him. He couldn't help but smile too… He closed her to his embrace while he was laughing. She slightly blushed but enjoyed the moment…
"I appreciate the past, because from it I can learn lots of things, because from it I can take a lots of happy memories, because from it I can build my future with all the people I love, with that midget too…So, I don't need to think about the past anymore…no more looking backs…"
"Together we will face our future…" The orange-haired man spoke at a sweet-low voice.
"Together?"
"Yes Rukia…together…no more looking backs. Promise?"
"I promise…You know Ichigo, by the way…Can we buy a small rabbit?" Rukia looked at him with glowing eyes
"Hey, where did this come from? The fact that I am in a good mood doesn't mean that you can ask whatever…" He looked at her sad face. He knew that she was acting, but he couldn't help it but wanted to comfort and support her. He was feeling pity for himself. He was a game in her hands.
"Jeez…you are so annoying midget" Ichigo replied.
"That means yes?" Rukia cried out of happiness.
"Wait, I have to ask my family first"
"Wow…the little Ichigo is waiting for his dad permission" Rukia was evilly grinning
"No I am not…I have to ask them if they can take care of it, when we have to leave, you know" Ichigo said openly irritated
"Oh don't worry…I will ask them. I am sure they will not have any problem…" She replied with a victorious smile, which was breathtaking, was almost hurting Ichigo's heart. He was feeling sick -in a strange way-, his palms were getting sweaty. He wanted to touch her so badly, to lock that beautiful lips into his… "What is happening to me, and what bullshits am I thinking anyways?"
"Oi, Ichigo…Are you feeling well, because your cheeks are red," Rukia noticed
"I am fine…Let's go home" He announced, "You are a mess, Kurosaki Ichigo"
"I promised to him that I will not think about the past. I have to keep that promise but I have no idea what is this feeling…So, if I don't look back how I am supposed to figure out what is going on with me. Or maybe I have to wait, till the time will make me understand what I am feeling… But it hurts like before, no this time is worse…Ichigo…"
He was waiting for her, a few meters away. She smiled and ran towards to him. He closed her soft hand in his and walked back in his house…together as ever.
To be continued…
