Hey everyone! It's been so long since we've seen each other everyone! I hope ya'll missed me! I know I did! But anyway to start the new year off with another story of mine!

It's a mixture of Cinderella and Alice in wonderland! Another AU!

Enjoy and review! oh and disclaimer: I don't anyone but the creations and the story plot!...to some extent!

"Mommy mommy please read me a bedtime story tonight!" a beautiful tiny raven haired child of four jumped up and down as her equally beautiful mother smiled, picking the child up from the floor and carrying her to her bed for the night.

"What story will it be tonight Rukia?"

"Hmm" holding her chin in a way so similar to her father her mother giggled, Rukia smiled as she crawled out of her big girl bed and ran across the room to her bookshelf which was just right for her, and took a book that made her mother smile at her child's innocence.

"This one?"

"Yes!" putting the book onto her mothers lap Rukia jumped into bed snuggling up against her many feather like pillows, crowning her head in white fluff.

"Cinderella it is then" opening the silvery white book Rukia listened intently to her mothers kind and soft voice, bringing a completely different world into her mind, from the snow white pages of the book.

"You're voice is so beautiful mommy, just like the fairy godmother in the book!"

"Thank you my little Rukia" combing her daughters hair with her left hand Hisana continued to read as she saw the child's eyes drooping her long black lashes against her large glassy purple orbs full of innocence. Hisana stopped closing the book with a doggy ear, placing it on the chair as she got up to kiss her daughters forehead

"Sweet dreams my love" turning off the night light on the table Hisana closed the door to Rukia's room missing her child smiling a bit too widely.

Opening one of her eyes Rukia grinned as her door was completely closed before she turned on her night light lamp and grabbed the large silvery white book from the chair making her way back into her bed. Opening it to the first page Rukia stared at the vivid and detailed pastel colors of the drawings.

The tiny house in which Cinderella lived in, her evil step mother and ugly step sisters, the mice and birds in the sky so free and happy, Cinderella crying crystalline tears as her fairy godmother came to calm her wrenching heart, Rukia grinned as she continued to turn the pages of her favorite fairytale and blushed when her favorite picture was flipped to her view.

The prince and Cinderella waving goodbye in a golden carriage as they had finally found each other and got married.

One day she was going to find her prince. Definitely.

'What a load of bull' Rukia scoffed remembering that day so long ago as she cast her eyes to the window out side not listening to her friend drone on and on about the guys she liked,

"Hey Rukia! Are you even listening to me!" hitting the raven haired girl in the head with the back of her hand,

"Ow! What the hell Rangiku!"

"You weren't listening to me damn it!" glaring at her petite friend with her grey eyes the strawberry blonde folded her arms

"What were you thinking so deeply about anyway?"

"Huh? Oh…nothing"

"Liar" poking the girl in the nose making the raven haired girl shake her head,

"Stop that" waving her friends hand away, as the door opened letting in two seniors Rukia and Rangiku had befriended their freshman year, the other two being sophomores at the time.

"Hey girls! How goes it?" Kotsubaki Sentaro asked, standing by his girlfriend Kotetsu Kiyone

"Kotsubaki-senpai, Kotetsu-senpai, what brings you here?" Rukia asked in surprise as the two stood by Rukia's desk where Rangiku sat on the other side.

"Just walking around Sentaro here didn't want to stay in AP Gov, what about you two?" Kiyone asked grabbing a random chair from another desk, just as her boyfriend did the same with another mumbling something about how he just wanted to spend time with her;

"Rukia was just spacing out on me again!"

"Not like I was ever really listening to you go on about your "boy toys"" Rukia snickered as her strawberry blonde friend pouted crossing her arms across her large chest,

"Well it wouldn't hurt you to listen once in a while!"

" Yes it would"

"Ok chill girls!" smiling at his friends Sentaro laughed, "you sound like us"

"What do you mean us?" Kiyone said turning to her boyfriend, who in turn turned to her

"I said they act like us!"

"How?"

"Are you blind woman! They fight like how we're doing right now!" their faces getting closer

"That's because you made the comparison! If you hadn't then we wouldn't be fighting!"

"Don't blame this on me! You're the one who got insulted by the truth!"

"Oh shut it you hairy man!"

"I'm still only eighteen you old hag!" suddenly both Rukia and Rangiku sensed a large pair of eyes on them, turning to indeed see the entire class was staring at the seniors.

"God, they do this every time" Rangiku sighed knowing only their oddly very young almost like a teen himself, look alike a student almost ten years his junior who just happened to be both Rukia and Rangiku's orange haired friend in this case was a spiky black haired science teacher- could break them up,

"Yeah want to go somewhere else? We have a few more minutes before school starts" Rukia suggested as she got up ignoring the eyes on her and the very loud arguing couple beside her; how they got together she still had no idea even after three years. When suddenly the class room door opened once more only to let the class in on the ear-bursting roar of the millions of screaming girls of their high school,

"Oh my gosh! It's Aizen Sousuke!! He's here!"

"Kya! Come on!" running as if to escape a fire the room quickly emptied except for the boys of the class, the two now silent seniors and two girls, consisting of bouncy strawberry blonde hair and raven colored locks.

"Want to go see?" Rangiku asked her friend

"Sure why not? Its not like there's anything to do here" looking at the class of boys and the seniors who waved them off before continuing their fight, the two girls walked out and pushed their way through the crowd of fawning girls, as THE one and only senior hottie group of their high school came walking down the hall waving at the girls and smiling showing off their pearly white teeth, making the girls scream all the more louder;

"Damn it! It's always like this!" Rukia held her head as THE group of senior boys came closer the tall boy in the front leader of the group and most, or in fact all the girls were screaming over was a light skinned guy with wavy brown hair, his deep eyes brown and wise behind his thick black glasses which all the girls seemed to love all the more; thinking it made him look so much more adorable than he already was. His well toned body only added to the fawning girls as his smile shown bright and clear; Rukia hated to admit it but…the guy was pretty cute!

The guys following behind Aizen Sousuke were popular through out the school for their pranks, Ichimaru Gin, their money Ishida Uryuu, their strength, Sado Yasutora, their brains, Ukitake Juushiro, and their looks, Hitsugaya Toushiro.

"My god, every time I see Hitsugaya he gets hotter!" Rangiku smiled as the group of seniors came closer to the two

"You know just because he's a year older than us, he looks like a middle schooler right? That's like pedophile-ish" Rukia grimaced as her friend still held that smile on her face.

"Come now Rukia-chan I would never! I just said he's hot! And besides don't you think it'd be super cool if we dated a senior?"

"Why? We're just juniors, it's not much of a difference" the raven haired girl stated when suddenly the fangirls screamed all the louder as Aizen glided right pasted Rukia and Rangiku. Catching her glance deep brown mingled with dark amethyst for a moment before the senior walked off with a smile on his face, Rukia unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Something's not right about that guy" murmuring under her breath even if he was cute, Rukia felt something about him she just didn't trust. When her eyes were drawn onto a flurry of coal black and bright emerald green.

It was Hitsugaya Toushiro.

As he was the last to past her, Rukia's heart suddenly began to beat faster and faster until she felt almost faint, forcing her legs still her glassy amethyst orbs clashed for an instant with emerald and time stood still. Before long the spell was broken and Toushiro walked off, as Juushiro patted his back and smiled warmly at the many girls, missing the black haired boys glassy daze and a tiny linger of a smile on his lips.

"You like him too, don't you Rukia?" Rangiku's voice asked over the roar of the crowd catching her friends gaze on the small seniors back, as the crowd of girls began to diminish.

"Huh? W-who? Aizen? I don't think so he's liked by all the girls in school, why like someone everyone fawns over?"

"Always the rebel huh? but no I wasn't talking about Aizen" nudging the smaller girls shoulder as they walked back into their class.

"No, I'm a leader not the follower, besides who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you liking Hitsugaya Toushiro oh great leader" smirking like a cat toying with its mouse, Rukia flushed deeper

"Shut up I don't like him!"

During the rest of school that day Rukia couldn't get her mind off of Hitsugaya Toushiro.

No matter how many times she told herself he was probably just a crush or a simple fascination, the guy wouldn't leave her be. Sure he was hot and really intelligent, so much in fact that he was already invited to three colleges, but she didn't know anything about him other than the things she had heard from gossipers. Not only that but if he was so great why wasn't he the leader of the group?

"It's not like he and I are going to get together anytime soon, or anytime for that; we don't even know each other" Rukia told herself yet no matter how much she tried to deny it that instant their eyes met she felt something deep within her that she hadn't felt in….quite a long time. Something completely different from that look Aizen gave her.

Sighing Rukia made her way towards her next class AP Psychology. Pushing through the millions of students the school seemed to get each year Rukia still wasn't used to so many freshman even after three years.

Sitting in her seat Rukia noticed a seat was empty as the class was filling up, thinking that just a few days ago that seat had been filled by a student….Hinamori Momo was it?

'Hmm must have transferred out….never did like her anyway' when her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the teacher and his announcement

"Ok class today we have a new student please come in!" the teacher said as the door opened revealing a very familiar person strolling in much to the classes and Rukia's surprise

"Hi I'm Hitsugaya Toushiro" waving the black haired boy gazed out at the class when his green eyes stopped on one student staring up at him in shock, he recognized her instantly. It was the amethyst eyed girl he saw behind all those other girls.

"Alright now that that's settled Hitsugaya-kun please sit in that seat by the wall" pointing to the empty desk the senior glided towards the desk as his eyes gazed over towards a certain raven haired girl, who surprisingly wasn't looking at him anymore. He smiled

'Interesting'

'What the hell is he doing here?! Wait! Why do I care? So what if he's in this class, it's an upperclassman course it's no big deal!' Rukia's mind fumbled around itself with thoughts and feelings she wasn't familiar with, and that cold feeling she got running down her spine when she could feel his eyes on her; didn't help much. When again the teachers voice broke through her mind and asked her a question,

"Kuchiki-san would you mind coming back to reality and tell the class what dreams are?"

"Excuse me?" her voice broke in embarrassment for getting caught daydreaming of sorts, and to find out that half an hour of the class was already over.

"Would you mind telling us what dreams are, you know what you were just thinking of" the teacher softly scolded the petite girl as the class laughed at her, feeling that cold run down her spine Rukia was sure that senior boy was watching her and by the feel of it he was smiling. Rukia's eyes turned dark and her face stern, sitting up in her seat she took the appearance of an important figure head just as she would always when her pride was being raised at the stake.

"Dreams sir, are the subconscious thoughts human minds imagine behind closed eyes, whether awake or not dreams appear in the sense of an escape; making life richer or duller, to which any person chooses"

"U-uh c-correct" the teacher stuttered as the class stared in awed silence at the Kuchiki, before returning to normal as the teacher called on another volunteer to answer another question.

As Rukia kept her attention fully on the class she didn't sense a pair of green eyes on her staring oddly. Or did she?….After all she was Kuchiki Rukia, simply putting her attentions on the class wasn't going to keep her from noticing those eyes on her, but because of who she was; it no longer mattered. For as this sixteen year old girl sat perfectly in her seat, writing down notes, looking up at the teacher; nodding and speaking her thoughts, she was no longer that tiny child of four.

Rukia had become cold. As time pasted and years shedded the childhood innocence of all younglings, reality and truth became her passion. No longer did she read her fairytale books, no longer did her mother read her to sleep, no stories of worlds far and wild by the fire, no painting of soft pastel, no fairies, prince and princesses, dragons and knights.

No more foolish dreams of finding her prince.

Before long AP Psychology ended and lunch began however before Rukia could gather her bag up and leave she felt a tap on her shoulder,

"Kuchiki was it?"

"Yes? And you are Hitsugaya right?"

"Yeah" standing in front of her was the senior half the schools population of girls had a crush on, and for one thing she could see why. He was a god! A hell lot better than that Aizen Sousuke; but she wasn't going to let a soul know that anytime soon.

"Hey I was wondering do you have the notes for the previous classes?"

"Yes, I do"

"Could I look at them for a while?" he rearranged his bag over his shoulder, his eyes twinkling catching Rukia's attention.

"I could let you" taking out her binder and handing him the well written notes, she passed them to him their fingers touched slightly for a moment. Both noticing with a raise of their brows and a light coloring to their faces.

"…uh Thanks I'll give them back to you next class"

"Alright" nodding the raven head lifted her bag over her shoulder and walked off a lingering smile on her face as she once again felt his eyes on her back; this time no shiver ran down her back.

The rest of the day went by faster than normal and the Kuchiki couldn't be more happy, packing her things in her last class for the day, the girl made her way out when in the shuffle of the crowd she lost her footing when a hand wrapped around her hand looking up to see how had saved her from embarrassment.

"Ichigo!"

"Yo midget"

"Don't call me that"

"I'll call you what I want" the carrot top smiled at the petite girl

"Oh? So I can call you strawberry?"

"No! never call me that! Damn it!" clenching his fists with a scowl on his face, making the raven haired girl smile at one of her best friends.

"So never call me midget"

"Hmm….fine midget" smirking at the girl as he ruffled her hair

"Damn it Ichigo you bastard! Stop that!" taking his hand off her head, and combing through her short raven locks,

"Yeah yeah anyway hurry it up, Renji is already waiting for us" pointing to the school gates outside easily spotting a pineapple redhead, Rukia smiled

"Hey Ichigo"

"Hmm?"

"Race ya!" purposely stepping on the bleached haired boy's foot Rukia ran past the colorful curses coming from behind her as she heard footsteps coming up fast

"Rukia you bitch! You cheated!"

"A loser is always a loser Ichigo!" yelling behind her the raven haired girl ran faster finally getting out of the school and towards the waving redhead.

Winning the 'race'.

"You cheated Rukia!" Ichigo snarled as the three walked home together

"I didn't cheat, like I said a loser is always a loser; and you are a loser!" smiling at the orange haired boys red face, he pouted just as he always would when he couldn't get back at her. Making the girl smile wider

"I can't believe you fell for it again" Renji smirked making the carrot top flush

"Shut it Renji! I don't want to hear that from you!"

"Oh! At least I know when Rukia'll strike! You always fall for her pranks"

"Me?! You're the…."

"Shut up both of you!" Rukia yelled as her face was getting squished between the much taller guys chests, pushing them apart quite tired of their constant squabbling when her cell rang

"Hello? Oh Rangiku hey, wait slow down I can't understand a word you're saying!" stopping in the middle of the sidewalk Ichigo and Renji waited for their friend as she talked to their other best friend. The four of them being a foursome since elementary school, they would always walk home together but when high school came by it got harder for them to keep the tradition.

Renji would have kendo practice, while Ichigo would have to help with the family hospital; Rangiku being Rangiku got the attention of most of the guys in school and would be courted by one almost each afternoon, each time a different one. While Rukia….

"WHAT?! T-that's not! W-we didn't! Rangiku, chill and listen to me! I meant what I said when they pasted us this morning! I DON'T LIKE HIM!" hanging up on her still talking friend, she closed her white flip phone and stuffed the cell into her pocket, Rukia looked up to see light and dark brown staring at her.

"What?"

"What the hell was that?"

"Nothing" closing her eyes as she pushed past the guys

"Nothing? You were screaming your head off!" Renji exclaimed

"I wasn't screaming"

"Like hell! You were really red too! What was it that Rangiku did this time?" Ichigo asked

"Yeah and who is this guy you supposedly "don't" like?" looking at the petite girl in front of them hesitating for a moment before continuing on with her stride.

"Like I said it's nothing so leave it at that" continuing on with her walk as the guys behind her looked at each other in suspension but none the less left the girl alone…for now.

'I don't get it how could she have found out? And how in the hell did it get around school so fast? We just talked for a minute and I just lend him my notes! Nothing more!' Rukia thought as her friend's voice still rang in her head,

"There's a rumor going around that you and Toushiro are lovers! Is it true Rukia?"

"Of course not!"

"Huh? Did you say something Rukia?" Ichigo asked as Renji had an odd look on his face when ever he was confused or holding back something.

"N-no nothing" did I say that out loud?

returning to her stride far ahead of the guys Rukia thought about that rumor and how it must have spread

'Most likely a stupid freshman looking in our class and saw us, thinking it was some great gossip or something' as her mind wound up the possible possibilities closing her off from her surroundings, and with Renji and Ichigo arguing with each other again, no one saw the car flashing down the street right into Rukia's body as they were half way across the street, nearly home….until it was too late.

"RUKIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Uhhh w-what happened? I feel like I was hit by a ledger hammer a thousand times over" Rukia rubbed her sore head and sat up as her eyes took a while to adjust to their surroundings, taking more than a few minutes sitting where she awoke Rukia's senses told her something was off.

Finally able to see again Rukia got up only to understand why she felt something was off, she was no longer in her uniform, her bag and things were gone and her surroundings were…..that of….. a!

"W-where the hell am I?!"

Me- and the first chapter is done! How was it? Good? Bad? Worse? Better? Totally out of it?!

Hahah yeah I know I asked this before but I want to know!

Please like always read and review! And tell me if I should continue with this or not, k?
