This is my very first Bleach story. I got this idea from just sitting around watching Ichigo and Rukia tributes. It's very sad so beware.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of the characters of this story.

They would sneak into Urahara shop to make out.

They would defeat every hollow and demon together.

They would do everything together.

Till that day….

The day she died.

The day Rukia Kuchiki died.

It wasn't suppose to be her!

She wasn't suppose to jump in front of him!

It was suppose to be him! Not her!

If only he hadn't weak.

If only he would have dodged the blow to his stomach.

If only that damned Aizen (A/N: I couldn't think of anything but him at the time so lets say they don't ever defeat him.) hadn't betrayed the soul society!

If only she hadn't died…

Flash Back

He laid there after receiving the blow from Aizen to the stomach.

He couldn't move.

His body wouldn't listen.

Aizen was about to deliver the final blow.

He saw her face.

Worried. Scared.

He closed his eyes awaiting the blow.

It never came.

He opened them.

He saw the worst sight he would ever see.

He saw her there.

He saw her with the blade through her heart.

He saw the blade being removed from her heart.

He saw her fall.

He couldn't do anything.

He was paralyzed.

Either from shock or pain.

He watched her, Kuchiki Rukia die before his eyes.

Kuchiki Rukia died protecting the one she loved.

The one that loved her.

She died protecting Kurosaki Ichigo.

The next thing he knew he was kneeling beside her now dead body with Aizen laying on the ground his Zanpaktou through his heart.

He let his tears fall.

Remembering all the times they had spent together.

He had been protected again.

Someone had died protecting him.

Again.

End Flashback

Now all he can do is cry at her funeral.

Remembering the times they had together.

All the times she helped him.

All the times she made him feel alive since his mother's death.

He could only remember her.
