Rukia ran. She ran with all her might. Even though she was getting tired from running, feeling dizzy, she still ran.
Even though it was raining cats and dogs, she kept on running. She ran and ran, terrified of being caught by the people chasing after her.
Turning at the next corner, she surveyed the surroundings for something to hide in. Despite the place being dark, she managed to find a small bin in a corner of the place she was in.
Lucky she was a five year old kid, or she will not be able to squeeze in the bin.
"Huff…huff…" she breathed. Rukia was exhausted from all the running and slowly, she felt her eyelids drooping and soon, she fell asleep, forgetting she was in a bin, hiding, trying to escape…
"Shiro, can you take the rubbish out to the bin at the alley behind?"
"'Kay, Grandma. I'm off, bye."
Shiro took the rubbish and strode to the alley feeling tired. As his hand reached for the cover of the bin…
It was very noisy. VERY NOISY. Rukia wondered what in the world that ANNOYING noise is. Fluttering her eyelids open, she tried to figure out where she was or at least the noise. Rukia twisted and fidgeted in the bin when suddenly, the bin toppled over, due to her squirming inside, trying to get out.
"OW!" Rukia wondered whose voice was that as her fall was saved by the bin. She crawled out of the bin, when her eyes caught something white in front of her. Violet met turquoise and they stared for a very long time.
Rukia seemed to forget where she was when suddenly, he broke their stare.
"Excuse me; is there something on my face?"
Rukia shook her head, trying to hide her blushing face, thinking that she was being an idiot staring at someone's face.
"Hello?" Rukia turned to stare at his face, captivated by it. She studied his face, from the tip of his nose to his ears, staring at his facial features.
"Hello?" Still no reply from Rukia.
"Nevermind, what's your name? Mine's Hitsugaya toshiro." The white-haired boy asked. Rukia opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
"Ehh, you can't speak?"
Rukia nodded, gazing into his turquoise eyes, seeing pity in them. Pity to her. She felt sad and wondered why she felt that.
"Come on. I'll bring you to my house." Toshiro held out his hand to her. At first, Rukia hesitated.
"Come on!" Toshiro smiled. And for the first time in her life, Rukia felt that she could trust this guy and held his hand, following him to his house.
