Hehehe! Here's my another Bleach fan-Fic again!
Title: Lost Memories
Pairing: Ichi x Ruki of corse! Who else? Might make more as I go along
Setting: Errr… I guess after the Hueco Mundo arc I suppose. Lol
WARNING! If you are an Ichi x Ori fan don't read the story if you are going to end up complaining on my review. The story is Ichi x Ruki with Orihime one-sided. But I might make her end up with someone. Oh yea, and some spoiler alert but not a biggy one!
I can't get bothered checking so ignore the mistakes. lol

As a strident footstep were thumping across Byakuya's mansion Ichigo, Ishida, Orihime and Chad were puffing their breaths while running through the hallway. Ichigo was taking the lead with his grave eyes focusing ahead of him. He could hear his heart thumping like drums with each step he took.
"Byakuya!" he managed to call out with the sight of Byakuya in front of him. As usual Byakuya spun around slowly with his stony emotionless eyes.
"We heard Rukia was badly injured, where is she?" he asked trying to calm his nerves down. He could feel a sweat dripping through his forehead and he knew he was panicking. The same went with everyone else. Ishida, Orihime and Chad all looked serious after hearing Rukia came back badly injured after a mission she got.
"What are you all doing here?" Byakuya asked with a calm voice. Stiffening his eyes towards Ichigo
"Didn't you hear us? We came here to see Rukia?" Ichigo answered back ignoring Byakuya's unpleasant atmosphere. There was a moment to awkward silence until Orihime stepped in the conversation
"Please, I can heal her with my power if you want me to" Orihime said with a shy look on her face. Even she could feel an unwelcoming atmosphere Byakuya was giving off.
"She's in her usual room. But be quiet when you get there" he said turning around as he walked away
"Umm… Thanks Byakuya-san" she said as she saw Ichigo dashing his way towards Rukia's room
"Kurosaki! He just said be quiet!" Ishida yelled as Ichigo was making a loud footstep on the wooden floor. However Ichigo ignored the call. Infact he was too busy thinking about Rukia.

"Yo!" Renji greeted Ichigo as he was sitting next to Rukia's futon
"What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked puffing his breath
"The same as you" he replied as his eyes shifted towards Rukia again. As Ichigo sat down Rukia was sleeping peacefully in her futon with a bandage wrapped neatly around her head. Her fine blue eyes were frailly shut and her black luminous hair had some bloodstains in some parts of it.
"What happened?" said Ichigo feeling a bit better to see Rukia in a safe condition
"Hollow. Attacked her right in the head, but the 4th Squad member said she'll be fine." answered Renji giving Rukia a concerned look. Orihime, Chad and Ishida walked inside the room as they all looked relieved to Rukia safe.
Ichigo gave a deep thankfully sigh with his hand scratching his bright orange hair.
"Well thank God she is alright," Ishida said. Chad gave a little nod but Orihime had a different reaction towards it. A part of her was happy because Rukia was well and Ichigo wasn't stressed out anymore. But at the same time another part of her didn't want Rukia to interfere with her feelings towards Ichigo. Ever since she met Rukia she felt Ichigo becoming closer and closer to her in many ways. She admired Rukia. That was for sure, since Rukia was strong and beautiful at the same time. But she started thinking Ichigo was in love with her, which made it very difficult for her. And she was disgusted by the way she thought of herself. Rukia was her friend, and she shouldn't even be thinking about these things. She should be happy for her to be well and if she ends up with Ichigo she should be happy for them. That's what she thought to herself.

"We better get going. You guys better leave soon to before Byakuya comes in," Renji said picking up Zabimaru he had next to him.
"Kurosaki?" Ishida asked looking down at Ichigo who was gazing down at Rukia very quietly. Like if he was in another whole different dimension. Ishida gave a sigh, as he knew what it meant. He wanted to stay here a bit longer.
"Chad-kun Inoue-san should we go?" asked Ishida. Chad gave a nod again without saying a word and Orihime stood up giving a really worried face towards Ichigo.
"We'll be waiting outside okay Kurosaki-kun," she whispered quietly.
Ichigo gave a nod with his eyes still not moving away from Rukia. Orihime forced herself the smile as she and the rest of the others walked outside and shut the door.
The room fell really silent after they left. Ichigo observed into Rukia's eyelid wondering when it will open as her soft mellow breathing was all that reached into his eyes right now.
"Rukia…" he managed to blurt out of nowhere. His heart was sinking really low as he thought about what could have happened to her today. And he wasn't there to protect her. In Hueco Mundo she did say she didn't need to be protected by him but he always knew he had to be with Rukia no matter what
"Im sorry…" he whispered quietly wondering why he apologising. After all, if Rukia was awake she would of already gave him a punch right in the face for saying sorry for no reason.

"Kurosaki-kun sure is taking his time" Orihime said with a concerned look growing on her face
"Well Rukia is someone important to him" Ishida said noticing the worried look on Orihime's face. Even she said so herself. Rukia was the one that changed Kurosaki-kun's destiny and that she is someone important to him.
"Let's just wait for a few more minutes," Ishida said with Chad and Orihime both agreeing to the idea.

It has been a few minutes now since the rest of the group left the room. Ichigo was starting to wonder if they are still waiting for him outside. More surprisingly, why hasn't Byakuya came inside the room to kick him out of his mansion?
"Err…" he heard a gently voice rumbling out. With a surprised look Ichigo looked down towards Rukia who was slowly opening her eyes from the sleep
"Rukia!" he shouted out. Rukia fully opened her eyes with a emotionless look on her face
"You feeling alright?" he said. She observed him weirdly with a funny look on her face
"Who are you?" she ask
"Huh?" Ichigo chocked out not believing what he just heard
"Who are you?"
