Love Me till Death
Chapter 1: Self Killed
Rukia, she was in the arms of Aizen, along with other girls swarming around the brunet haired man. Rukia saw one of Aizen body guards, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, and he was also being attacked by millions of girls in hooker outfits.
Rukia was wrapping her arms around Aizen, putting on her best purr, and her outfit… well let's just say she felt like a slut. Her outfit was a bright red, two piece swimsuit-like thing, and it had lots of feathers. She absolutely hated it.
Why was she doing this? It's because Rukia was a trained assassin; she worked under the supernatural, Reaper division. Right now, her mission was to kill Aizen Sōsuke, the EX-leader of the Reaper division. He had stolen some super secret equipment that was being tested, and well, the government wanted it back, and what the government wants the government gets.
Rukia could feel Aizen's hand move across her butt, she wanted to kill him so bad. She could feel the lights flash across her face and the leather of the seat below her squeaked and cracked. She was in Las Vegas, the most happening city in world, what else could happen?
Rukia took a quick glance to her side, she saw the clock. Three A.M. perfect.
Rukia got closer to the traitor, her lips almost touching his ear. "How about we hit the rooms?" she purred nipping his neck. 'I'm gonna puke…' she thought mentally gagging.
"I would like that." Aizen replied, putting on a big smirk.
Rukia got off Aizen and he got up, grabbing Rukia's hand and kissing it slightly. "Shall we go?" he asked raising a brow.
Rukia put on a fake smile "Let's." she replied. Aizen took her hand and dragged her past the flashing lights and slot machines and came up to an elevator. He pushed the up button and waited looking down at Rukia.
Rukia just gave a small smile clutching his arm and playing with his jacket. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Grimmjow Jeagerjaques fallow close behind them. 'Crap, I guess I have to kill two bastards with one stone, how fun.' And with that thought, she smiled to herself looking back at the elevator as it came down opening in front of the two figures.
As they entered the elevator, Grimmjow fallowed close behind entering as well, he entered slightly smiling at Rukia, and pressing the button to the 9th floor.
"I hope you don't mind me joining young miss." He said to Rukia.
Rukia put on her smile "Of course not, sir." She answered in a soft high voice. The feather's in the outfit was giving her a wedgie and on top of that she had to kill these perverts, this was going to be a long night.
They could feel the elevator go up, and Aizen put his arm around Rukia in a "Comforting" position.
Rukia just wanted to slice open their heads and be done with it.
The three watched as the elevator opened back up, opening up to a long hallway. Aizen got out, followed by Rukia, then Grimmjow. Aizen led the way opening the room door and letting Rukia go in first.
"Missy." He said fallowing Rukia in.
"Yes Aizen-Sama?" Rukia purred turning around to face the traitor. She instantly felt it; more people were in the room, more bodyguards.
"May you give me your name?" he asked grabbing Rukia's hand and kissing it again.
Rukia smirked "Call me Hikari Tsukiko."
"Hikari… sounds fitting…" he said smiling. Aizen dismissed his bodyguard Grimmjow and that was Rukia's chance. She slowly got closer to Aizen, forcing herself to hug him.
"Aizen-Sama…" she muttered in a tempting tone.
She could feel his arms wrap around her small body as well. That's when she slowly reached into her red sleeve, and pulled out a knife, it was small, but sharp enough to kill, her favorite type.
"Aizen-Sama…" She muttered again and with a swift swing she decapitated the traitor.
The thing was that no blood was spilled, the Aizen that was once in front of the Kuchiki girl was completely gone, and he disappeared into mist.
Rukia wasn't surprised she had been warned about the traitors illusions and mind games, she just wanted to know how they worked.
Clapping was heard from the other side of the room and Rukia quickly jerked her head towards the sound. As she expected, Aizen was there clapping. "Very good Kuchiki, you did well, but I am afraid I win this time." And with that four masked people came out of the shadows and attacked Rukia.
Of course she attacked back. With a swift move she ducked one of the masked people attacks, and hurdled forward cutting off the masked mans foot. Blood shot out staining the carpet and her cloths, but all she could do was smirk as she pierced the sharp end of the dagger into the man's vital organs.
The poor man just screamed on the floor until death awaited him.
Rukia had no hesitation and went for the others, killing the masked bodyguards one at a time. When she finally killed three of the four masked bodyguards she couldn't help but play with the last one.
"Are you ready to die?" she asked her cold eyes piercing the masked mans.
The person said nothing and attacked the raven head girl, Rukia on the other hand just blocked; using the small dagger like if it was child's play. In one swift motion she smirked at the man.
"Get ready to join your friends." She said, no emotion even came near the assassin as she swiftly sent the dagger down, plunging it straight into the man's forehead. She watched as the body fell from the dagger and to the floor, wiping the blood off her porcelain face.
"Well aren't you a tough one?" a voice said from behind her. Rukia turned around facing the voice, it was Grimmjow's. Grimmjow's grin just widen as he thought Rukia's expression was lovely. "Too bad, a cute one like you shouldn't be so blood thirsty." He said "But I like it. Hey Aizen, you think if the cutie went on our side I could keep her?" he asked turning to look at Aizen.
Aizen just grinned "Do as you please Grimmjow." He said simply.
That when Rukia attacked, her dagger aiming for Grimmjow's head, but he was too quick and he was able to draw out his sword blocking the young Kuchiki's attack. Rukia's murder attempt made Grimmjow laugh even harder.
"No warning? How rude." He said forcing his sword against Rukia's dagger. In a swift move he swung his sword cutting Rukia's arm, and making her retreat a few steps back. He grinned as he watched the Kuchiki girl grab her arm in pain, trying to stop the blood. "I need to thank you Kuchiki, I haven't had this much fun in a long time!"
That's when Aizen heard it, the sound of footsteps in the hall. He looked at the two fighting and realized they hadn't noticed yet. "Come Grimmjow." He said. "It time to go."
Grimmjow gave a look of disgust and materialized next to Aizen. His giant grin appeared and he looked directly at Rukia. "Don't miss me." he said.
Aizen just smiled to the Kuchiki girl, "Until next time, Rukia…" he said as the raven haired girl watch the two figure disappear into dust.
The door opened and Rukia quickly turned her neck in alert.
"Room Service." Said a man's voice. The man entered and Rukia realized it wasn't a man it was a young man around her age, the man had bright orange hair and narrow brown eyes.
The poor boy nearly dropped to the floor when he saw the bodies and the blood. "Wha-at the heck?" was all that came out of his mouth. That's when he saw the girl, a small figure that flew out the window in a nanosecond. "Wow…"
When Rukia left the room, she knew that the boy had caught a glimpse of her. She knew that she should have left sooner but something made her freeze, she couldn't move whatsoever. And for the first time Rukia was shocked.
The next day:
Rukia woke up, the motels bed stiff as a bored which made her back even stiffer. She let out a sore groan as she stretched her whole body. "Aww man…" she moaned "Another day, another crapper…"
As Rukia got up from the hard bed she separated the curtains from each other and felt the sunlight dance across her skin. It was beautiful outside; the sun barley coming up made the atmosphere softer and Rukia's whole set of emotions changed. Rukia always admired her surroundings, and she believed everything had a different meaning and was brought there for a reason.
There was just one problem, Rukia believed she had no reason for living, and life gave her no meaning. Rukia was alone, and she believed she would always be alone.
Rukia snapped herself out of her thoughts and went to the super small restroom, turning on the shower and waiting for the hot water. Too bad there wasn't any. With a rather large sigh she entered the freezing cold shower, her teeth chattering, and goose bumps all over. She tried her best to finish up as quickly as possible; if she didn't there would probably be a report about a person dying in a shower due to cold water. Heh, wouldn't that be interesting?
As she got out and put on a new pair of cloths she didn't know what to do next. She was bored. Nobody had called from the Reaper division, and she had to go hunt down Aizen again, but what else was there to do? What could she do?
Rukia let out a sigh as she fell to the bed. "I am hungry…" she moaned.
BEEP
Rukia scrambled up, looking for her cell phone. "AH! Where is it?" she shouted, frustrated with herself. She destroyed all the nicely put covers, and pillows.
BEEP
"Grrr, where did I put it?" she said, getting up from the bed and going into the restroom, the sound was getting louder, but she had no idea where it was coming from.
BEEP
Rukia went back to the main room, standing in the middle, running her right hand through her hair. "Crappers…" she cursed to herself sitting down back on the bed.
Then she felt it, her butt was vibrating. "You've got to be kidding me…" she muttered getting up and taking her cell out of her back pocket. She sighed, opened the cell phone, and put it to her ear.
"Hello?" she asked broadly.
"Hey it's me Orihime, wanna hang out?" the girlish voice asked. Orihime was a old friend of Rukia's; they would hang out from time to time whenever they got the chance. But of course Orihime had no idea about Rukia's secret, her deadly secret.
Rukia wasn't always a non-emotional kind of person, yes she was a killer, but she did have a normal life. The thing was that, Rukia believed her normal life was her fake life. "Sure." Rukia said, of course she didn't care on the inside.
"Great lets hit the bars! After all it is your birthday right?" she asked slyly.
Rukia just sighed. "Don't remind me, turning 21 means nothing to me, the only benefit I have is getting hangovers and drinking till I puke." She said. Rukia did let her true side show a bit around Orihime. Why? Because Orihime was too dumb, or happy-go-lucky too see it.
"Oh don't say that!" Orihime scolded. "You finally get to be free, be excited!" she said.
"I was free when I was six, remember?" Rukia said. Rukia's parents were murdered when she was six, only her sister and herself survived. But even her sister didn't want her, and she left her to die.
"Rukia…" Orihime said softly. "OK! We have to get some drinks! Pronto!" she said her happy self kicking in. "I will be there in less than thirty minutes, this is an official emergency.
Rukia heard a loud crash at the other end of the line and sweat dropped. 'The only one who might give me an emergency is you, Orihime…' she thought closing her cell phone and putting it back in her back pocket.
Rukia lot up and went to the restroom, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, what was she doing? Why does she try to live a normal life? She doesn't deserve one. At least that's what the Kuchiki girl believed.
When she was looking in the mirror she noticed a big gaping cut on her arm. The cut Grimmjow gave her. She quickly looked around the small room getting a roll of cloth that was on the cabinet above the sink. She wrapped it around the cut and cut it with her teeth putting tape on it so it could stay.
BEEP
BEEP
BEEEEEPPPP
That was Orihime. Rukia rushed out the door, grabbing her jacket off the hook and speeding out the door into the red car. When she got in and put on her seat belt she looked at the brunett haired girl.
"Well?" Rukia asked.
"All I wanted was a 'Go for it!'" Orihime said happily. Orihime was a very happy kind of person; she always carried on a smile.
"Go for it then." Rukia said slouching in the cars chair. As the car speed off she looked out the window admiring too herself, the beautiful scenery.
"Hey Rukia, do ya have a boyfriend yet?" Orihime asked taking a glance at the raven haired girl.
This question took Rukia by surprised and nothing could surprise the young Kuchiki. "W-what?" Rukia exclaimed turning around quickly to face the girl next to her. "Of course not!" she said.
Orihime sighed. "Me neither, what wrong with guys these days? Cant they acknowledge a pretty girl?" Orihime asked the raven haired girl.
Rukia smiled. "It's because there to retarded, plus I don't think I need a guy, I am happy on my own." Rukia said, tuning her head from Orihime to the front watching the rode pass them by.
"Don't say that Rukia! Not all men are that bad!" Orihime said. "Honestly how do you do it? Don't you get lonely?" She asked.
Rukia sighed "No, I don't, I just pop some popcorn and find a way to entertain myself." Rukia said softly.
Orihime pulled into a parking stop and park her car. "Well come on let's celebrate and get a guy!" she said cheerfully.
Rukia rolled her eyes. "I am here to celebrate; I can live without a guy." She said.
Inside the bar:
There sat two young adults, one with bright red hair and one with orange hair. The two men were drinking beers, laughing a talking. The orange haired man was the one who spoke first.
"Yo, Renji, you will never believe what happen to me last night." The orange haired man said. He took another sip of his beer and a big grin appeared.
"You got laid Ichigo?" the man called Renji exclaimed in disbelief. He patted the orange head in congratulations, and called out for two more drinks.
"No faggot!" Ichigo yelled at the red head. "When I was doing my job I saw four dead people in a room and a smoken hot lady who disappeared in a nanosecond! Then when I looked back at the dead people they were gone, vanished! I tried to fallow the chick but I couldn't find her." he said finishing his story. He took another big sip of beer. "Not everything has to do with getting laid…"
Renji slammed the beer down, "Oh MY GAWD! You did not just say that!" Renji yelled. "Dude your delusional! You're telling me that you saw a hot chick, dead people, and getting laid is not important, I think you need some more beers!" Renji said sipping some more of his.
"Renji, I can't get her out of my head…" Ichigo said staring at the table. "She looked scared, sad, and lonely… Damn! What's wrong with me? I am crushing on a chick I don't even know!"
Renji just shook his head. "Bro, suck it up," he said. "You're just in a love sick state you'll find a way to get over it, everyone does." Renji said simply.
Ichigo sighed.
The door opened and the bells on the top rang.
Ichigo turned his head to see who entered. His eyes widened, and he started tapping Renji consistently until he turned around too. The two boys stared in awe as the two girls walked in.
"Those chicks just broke the hotness scale!" Renji said.
"That's her…" Ichigo realized as the glimpse of last night's mystery girl appeared in his mind. "Renji that's her!" Ichigo exclaimed a grin appearing on his face.
"Ok…" Renji started starting at the two girls "Which one?" he asked.
"The girl with raven hair! It's her! She is girl from last night!" Ichigo said getting up and staring at the girl in disbelief.
"You mean the girl that you didn't have sex with?" Renji asked practically drunk.
Ichigo nearly choke him, "Shut up!" he said.
Renji just shrugged. "Go talk to the cutie before I get her myself." Renji said seriously picking up his beer and swallowing the last of it down. He got up from his bench and hit Ichigo on the shoulder. "Let's go, I want to know more about the two chick's." he started walking.
Ichigo almost choke on his beer. "W-what? You can't do that!" he exclaimed.
Renji looked back and the orange haired man, "Why not?" he asked. "Come on, this will be fun! Who knows, she could be your future wife! Mrs. Something Kurosaki, how does that sound?" Renji asked.
Ichigo blushed "Fine! But all we are going to do is watch them for a bit and talk to them, ok?" Ichigo said solemnly.
"Fine, but flirting is allowed, right?" Renji asked raising a brow. Ichigo was hesitant but he nodded slowly, agreeing. A grin came on Renji's face. "Let the best man win!" he said holding out his hand.
Ichigo smiled and shook the red heads hand. "You're on!"
XoXoXo
Rukia was in back of Orihime as she entered the dull bar. The smell of alcohol burned her nose, she really didn't like were this was going. Then something caught her eye, orange. Orange hair, to be exact. It was the same man from last night, the man who saw her. Rukia tried to ignore the man and walk but something about him, it was strange. 'Well, if he interferes I will just have to kill him…' she thought.
"Orihime, why don't we go over there?" Rukia said as she pointed to the opposite side the two boys were at. Rukia wanted to avoid them at all cost.
"Ok."Orihime said agreeing to the Kuchiki and fallowing her to the bar.
When Rukia and Orihime took their seats they couldn't even see the boys, which Rukia thought was good. Orihime was playing around with the bar tender and Rukia made sure no one recognizable was in sight. 'How can that boy be here, we're in Las Vegas how in hells world could we meet in one of the biggest cities in the world!' Rukia thought as she relax and took in a deep breath.
"Rukia," Orihime said braking into Rukia thoughts. "I saw some really cute guys when we entered, maybe when we are through drinking we could say hi?" she asked putting on a smile.
Rukia sighed. "Whatever… I guess we could." Rukia really didn't care about that kind of thing but what the heck right? 'I know I am going to regret this later…' she thought.
"Oh thank you Rukia! You're the best!" Orihime said happily. The bar tender gave the two girls the drinks they ordered. Orihime's smile widened "Alright, cheers Rukia!" she said holding up her glass and facing the birthday girl.
"To what?" Rukia asked holding up her cup as well.
"To a happy birthday and your first drink!" she said putting the drink to her lips and swallowing the whole thing down.
Rukia put the drink to her nose suspiciously, it smelled bad, and she didn't like it. But she wasn't one to give up, as the stubborn Kuchiki girl hesitantly put the cup to her lips and had her first drink. To Rukia it tasted cold but as it went down her throat a warm, hot, sensation went through her body. The drink tasted like sprite with some other weird flavor—that was probably the alcohol. The weird thing was that, she liked it. Rukia liked the heat as the drink went down here throat and she like the sensation it was giving her.
"So what do you think?" Orihime asked making Rukia come back to reality. Rukia noticed that her cup was empty and she turned her attention back on Orihime.
"I think I want another one!" Rukia said smiling.
Orihime laughed, and called out to the bar tender that she wanted two more.
OxOxOx
Renji and Ichigo where watching the two girls and they tapped their beers together and smiled to one another. Renji couldn't help but smile as he watched the two girls.
"Did you hear that Ichigo, it's her birthday, maybe you could give her something special!" Renji said.
"Dude, your drunk…" Ichigo said shaking his head in an I-Can't-Believe-You-Said-That kind of way. But even Ichigo couldn't figure out the girl, she acted happy, but the person Ichigo saw last night was miserable, who was this girl?
"Fine then I will do it myself!" Renji said patting Ichigo on the back and getting up.
"Ya when hell freezes over." Ichigo replied grabbing the red hairs jacket and pulling him down to the floor where they were hiding.
"You're no fun!" Renji said crossing his arms childishly.
"Just shut up!" Ichigo said.
"Come on, you said we would talk to them!" Renji begged, "You said! You said! You said!" he exclaimed.
"Fine!" Ichigo yelled giving in to the red head's meaningless shouting. Sometimes Ichigo wondered why he was stuck with that idiot.
"What's with all the shouting now?" the bar tender that was serving Orihime asked. He had dark black hair and black eyes that almost seemed blue. Occasionally he would push up his glasses to prevent them from falling.
"Oh, it's just you Uryuu…" Ichigo groaned. "We were just about to talk to those hot girls over there." Ichigo said pointing to Orihime and Rukia from behind the plants.
"Ichigo has a big time crush on the black haired one!" Renji said in an almost shouting tone.
Ichigo hit Renji on the back of his head. "Thanks a lot dick, announce it to the whole world!" Ichigo yelled.
"At least have the balls to admit that I like her too!" Renji said.
Ichigo just stuck out his tongue. "How? You don't have any balls!" Ichigo countered.
Uryuu just coughed trying to bring an end to their mindless discussion. "If you want to talk to them, go. They are probably too drunk to realize how ugly you two are." Uryuu said. "But, if you lay I finger on the brunette, I will kill you…" Uryuu said coldly.
Renji looked confused "Dude I didn't know you were into chicks with big boobs…" he said.
Ichigo laughed, "We don't even want that chick, and her boobs probably substitute for her really small brain!" Ichigo said.
Uryuu growled "Just shut up! She is a nice person!"
Ichigo laughed harder. "Ya, in fairy world!" he said.
Uryuu just rolled his eyes walking away from the two guys. He cursed them to himself thinking that they were stupid jerks.
Ichigo got up, "Well I'm going," he said to Renji.
"Wait, really?" the read head asked on confusion. "I thought you were joking, what a day, Ichigo finally grew his balls." Renji said laughing.
Ichigo smacked him again. "You won't have any if you keep that shit up!" he yelled walking towards the two girls.
Renji laughed "Ya whatever," he said getting up and fallowing Ichigo.
Rukia and Orihime were still drinking one cup after another, Rukia had never done this it was all new to her, and for the first time she enjoyed being reckless.
"Umm… hi," said a voice. Rukia and Orihime both stopped their drinking contest to turn around a see who it was.
When Rukia saw that face, his face, she almost dropped her beer. Luckily she was able to catch herself before she did anything stupid. "Hi, um… may I ask who you are?" she said in a sweet tone. 'I am starting to feel the regret…'
Ichigo who was scratching his head at the time and trying to prevent his blushing, blushed. She was actually talking to him, and she was prettier then he realized. Ichigo was also caught off guard by the question, usually girls he flirted with would say there names first, then he would introduce himself. "Oh, sorry, I am Ichigo Kurosaki, and my friend over there is Renji." Ichigo said pointing to the dude behind the bushes. Ichigo felt natural, he wasn't shy to talk to the girl anymore, and he was excited.
"Nice to meet you strawberry, I am Rukia Kuchiki." She said smiling and holding out her hand. Rukia was shocked at herself; she just gave him her real name, why? She had no idea.
Ichigo's eyes widened. "Rukia… it's nice to meet you too." Ichigo shook her hand. To him it was small and fragile, and that if he held it to tight he would break it, but why did he feel this way, and around a stranger at that. "Wait, did you just call me strawberry?" he asked feeling the happy moment go away.
Rukia laughed, it wasn't a fake laugh that she usually had to pull off, it was a natural laugh, and it surprised the Kuchiki girl. "Yes I did call you strawberry, carrot top." She said.
"You really want to go there don't you?" Ichigo asked, he didn't feel like he was talking to some pretty girl anymore, he felt like he was talking to a friend, a best friend.
"Actually, I do." Rukia said smirking.
Ichigo gave a content chuckle. "Ok, midget, you want me to buy you a beer?" he asked.
Rukia didn't know what to do, be mad, or laugh, so she did both. Rukia gave a light laugh as she stuck out her tongue at the new found friend. "I would like a beer, strawberry." She said.
Ichigo smiled and sat next to Rukia. "Three beers please," Ichigo said to the bar tender.
Rukia felt strange, she couldn't stop looking at the orange haired boy, what was it, the feeling she felt? She was curious and anxious and all she want to do was talk to him some more, why was that? She had never felt that way before.
Ichigo looked down and the raven haired girl and smiled, he felt so comfortable around her, he never felt this way before, so why now, why her? "Rukia," he muttered, liking the sound of her name as it came out of his mouth. "You're really something else aren't you?" he asked smiling. "I know I barely met you but, I feel that it's natural, like you're my best friend…" he said.
Rukia's navy eyes widened. "I-I know what you mean…" she said softly. At that moment she wanted to tell him everything, everything about her life, the way she felt, and the way she wanted to feel.
"Really?" Ichigo asked in disbelief.
Rukia slowly nodded. The bar tender came with the beers and put them in front of the two figures. Rukia picked up a cup and sipped it just a bit. "You're different too Ichigo," Rukia said. "I can't figure out why but I feel open to you." Rukia said.
Ichigo blinked "Really?" he asked again.
Rukia broke out laughing. "Yes, really," she said. "Ichigo you look like a child who founds his dog." Rukia said. She couldn't stop laughing at the man expression.
"Can I say it one more time?" he asked.
Rukia smiled "Once more." She said, she never in a million years thought she would feel happy, but all in one night, this man gave her everything she thought was impossible for her to obtain.
"Really?" he said laughing as well. Something about it, drunk or not, something about that moment was unforgettable, Ichigo never felt so alive, Kuchiki Rukia had changed his whole world with just a few words.
Ichigo drank his cup of beer and looked behind the Kuchiki. "Shrimp, I think your friend is dead." He said pointing to the unconscious Orihime that was drunk of the table.
Rukia laughed "I guess that means I have to finish her beer." Rukia said smiling.
Ichigo smiled too. "I guess that means you should share some with me." he said.
"Really?" Rukia asked imitating Ichigo. She couldn't hold back a grin and neither could Ichigo. Rukia took a sip of the beer, and Ichigo got the cup from her smiling and putting it over his head taunting her.
"Come on Strawberry, give it back!" She begged trying to reach for the cup.
Ichigo's smile widened "I will give it back on one condition." He started. "We have to go on a date." He said.
Rukia smirked. "I would rather die." She said.
Ichigo smile turned into a smirk as well. "Then it's a date," he said finishing he beer, he got out a piece of torn paper and wrote his number down giving it to the Kuchiki girl. "There, call me." he said.
Rukia pouted "My beer…" she muttered putting away Ichigo's number in her pocket.
Ichigo laughed "I'll get you another one ok?" he said.
Rukia smiled "You're not so bad Kurosaki, and I really enjoyed tonight." She said truthfully.
Ichigo ordered one more beer and he looked at Rukia "We're going to share this one." he said.
Rukia frowned "I take back everything I said…" she said sarcastically.
Ichigo laughed and the two drank their last beer cracking jokes at each other and flirting with each other. Truthfully, neither one of the wanted the day to end, but of course it had too.
Rukia sighed as she saw the time on the clock. "I guess I better get happy-go-lucky home soon." Rukia said looking at Orihime. The two figures started walking out of the bar; they didn't even notice it raining.
Ichigo grinned "Don't forget you owe me." he said.
"For what?" Rukia yelled.
"For the beers that's what! Oh and you better call me." he said smirking.
Rukia laughed "here you can have my number," Rukia said as she got out her marker and started writing on Ichigo's hand.
Ichigo smiled "Ya' know it's against the law to write on people without permission." He said.
Rukia smiled "Since when?" she asked.
"Since now." He said. "And the only way you can be innocent is if you kiss me." he said.
Rukia's eyes widened. 'Is he serious?' she thought. "You're serious?" she asked shocked at his remark.
"Well I am probably drunk and I probably saying this out of delusion, but yes I am serious." He said smiling.
Rukia smiled back "Well then I guess I am a criminal." She said putting her hands up in a joking way.
Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Like I would let that happen." And with that Ichigo gave Rukia a small kiss on the lips. Rukia was caught off guard by this but she didn't react, she was actually enjoying it. Ichigo was also caught off guard by his action, since when did he act like this around girls? Sure when he was with Renji he would have his cocky attitude but he would always just flirt with girls, he would never get cocky like that.
Rukia could feel her heart race; she slowly put her hand on Ichigo's cheek pulling him closer. It was the first time Rukia had romantically feelings for a boy, and she was a bit scared. Rukia could feel Ichigo smile; did he feel the same way as she did? Or was this thing all just crap?
Ichigo pulled away and looked at Rukia in her navy eyes, "I-I really like you, Rukia," he said putting a hand on her soft cheek whipping away some of the rain.
Rukia was taken aback by his remark and couldn't say anything, much less do anything.
Ichigo quickly pulled Rukia into a hug, and just like her hand, he felt like if he hugged her any tighter she would break, but he couldn't stop, his actions where all their own.
Ichigo slowly released the delicate Rukia not really wanting to let her go. "Rukia," he said looking at the girl. "Happy birthday, I really hope we can meet again sometime." He said.
Rukia smiled "Me too Ichigo…" she said, and the two went their separate ways.
Rukia drove Orihime home and got a taxi to take her to her motel but she couldn't stop thinking about him, Ichigo.
XoXoXo
Ichigo was at his house trying to get some rest when his phone rang. Ichigo opened up his cell phone answering.
"Hello?"
"Yo, Ichi-bro, sorry I knocked out before talking to Rukia." Said Renji's voice.
Ichigo laughed "Ya I know, you where dead out drunk on the floor next to the plants, Uryuu had to take you home." Ichigo said. "Oh and don't be sorry, you know why?"
"Why?" Renji asked.
"Cause I kissed her!" Ichigo said happily.
"That's not fair you said we could only flirt!" Renji yelled on the other end.
Ichigo smirked. "Ya but it went so well!" Ichigo said "Ya' know she is awesome, she can bring out your true colors any day."
Renji made an 'hmph' sound. "Oh really? Well, I bet I can win her over easily!" Renji said.
"Like I would let you do that!" Ichigo yelled back at the read head.
Renji snickered, "Watch me."
Ichigo growled "Watch you grow some balls? Ha! That would take too long, I would already be dead!" Ichigo remarked back.
"Ya whatever, see ya!" Renji said hanging up.
Ichigo smiled triumphantly closing his cell and laying down on the bed his arm over his head and his eyes fixed on the ceiling. All Ichigo could do was think about the Kuchiki girl.

Rukia laid there on her cheap bed, her eyes closed and her mind racing. 'Ichigo…' she thought. 'Since when have I ever felt this way…? Why does my heart race so quickly…? Who are you Ichigo…? I don't know these feelings… I'm scared…'
Rukia didn't want to admit it but the way Ichigo made her felt was mind blowing, she had never felt like this to anybody, so why now? Why him? Rukia had no idea.
She couldn't sleep, for the images of the boy haunted her mind, but she liked it, she like seeing her boy. She liked the way he made her felt, and she questioned if she was dreaming. Rukia had never felt so many feelings all at once, so how did the Kurosaki boy make her feel that way? How did he make her feel like she belonged?
But of course the stubborn Kuchiki girl would never admit she had a reason for being there. She convinced herself that every feeling she had that night was all a lie. The thing was that even Rukia had doubts about her theory; something in her didn't want to believe that lie.
So Rukia Kuchiki was lost in her thoughts and nothing could make her leave. Nothing but sleep of course. Rukia tried to battle her heavy eyes and the alcohol of the drinks but not even the strong Kuchiki girl could stop sleep for devouring her. And so the young Kuchiki slept dreaming about things she probably wouldn't remember in the morning.

Orihime, the girl who was thought to be out cold, laid wide awake in her bed. 'Kurosaki-kun… he really does like Rukia doesn't he?' she thought sadly. 'In just a night those two changed each other's world… why couldn't I have the guts to say that I liked him? Why does Rukia get all the guys? Why can't Ichigo like me?'
Orihime secretly crushed on the orange haired boy ever since she saw him. He was so nice to her even though they had barely met in college, but that night she saw a different side of Ichigo, and it was probably his true side. Rukia was able to make him show it and Ichigo was able to see Rukia's. Orihime talked about the orange haired boy to Rukia, but Rukia never really cared.
So why was it the two hit it off so good? Why couldn't it be her instead? The poor brunette couldn't answer any of her questions except one. Was it jealousy she was feeling? Yes, that one she was ashamed of knowing.
Orihime was jealous of her best friend, she wished she had never said anything about Rukia's birthday, and never went to the bar. But something still lurked inside the brunette's mind. Did Ichigo ever like her?
She thought he did, that is until he started to drift.
Flashback:
First year of college:
Orihime was sitting there on the bench waiting for Rukia to pick her up. She noticed a orange haired boy that would smile to her, all she could do was blush.
The boy continued to talk to his friend until he left and went up to her. "Hi," he said.
Orihime blushed harder "Um… hi, I am Orihime Inoue; it's nice to meet you." She said tilting her head. Unlike Rukia she gave her name first, while the Kuchiki girl always waited for the man to say there name, and also unlike Rukia she never like making physical contact when meeting a new person even though she like the person.
"Kurosaki Ichigo," Ichigo said. "So whatcha doing out here?" he asked, looking around.
Orihime eyes widened "Oh umm… I am waiting for a friend." She said.
Ichigo nodded and sat down next to her. "Do like the movies?" he asked.
Orihime smiled "Yes! I love the romantic ones with night and princesses!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Ichigo sweat dropped and put on a fake smile. "Well that cool, I guess…"
Orihime smiled like an airhead. "They are very interesting and I like them a lot, it's very important to know about your surroundings you know!" she said happily.
A light blue Pruis dove in rolling down the window. The driver gave a honk and shouted "Come on, Orihime, we're going to be late!"
Ichigo got up quickly "I guess I better go," he said waving bye. Ichigo took a quick glance to the driver of the Pruis. He noticed the girl was wearing round sunglasses that covered her face and she had neck length raven black hair.
Orihime happily walk in the car looking at the orange haired boy, and she instantly had a crush.
End of flashback:
Orihime stuffed her face in her pillow trying to stop the tears from over flowing. 'Kurosaki-kun… Why?'
The poor girl never realized Ichigo said hi just to find out if she was his type, Orihime dwelled on the past. Ichigo never had a interest in Orihime since he found out that she was a Dreams-Will-Come-True kind of person, or otherwise known as a airhead. Ichigo dated girls by looks when he was in college but ever since he saw the Pruis driver something changed him, something big.
Orihime on the other hand was overwhelmed by jealousy and would do anything to get the man she liked back.
