A/N: Oh gawd... 'Ello! How has your Valentine's Day been? Mine was a normal day actually... AMAZING! I know!

Well here's a Valentine's Day special... Please forgive me, I did NOT want to write those bits and pieces... They broke my heart!

Disclaimer: As usual. I do not (And never will) own Bleach. It belongs to a slow (But awesome) Tite Kubo...

Valentine's Day

Kuchiki Rukia? Jealous? Never! Sure, I may have seen a lot of girls give him chocolate as it is there so called Valentine's Day... From Ichigo's previous explanation to me about this supposed 'romantic' date, the girls are to give the boys chocolates, two different types of chocolate for the relationship they have with the boy. These types are giri-choco which is for your friends, colleagues, family and others who you don't have feelings for, whereas honmei-choco is the opposite, given to the lovers or who you have romantic feelings for. If the boys accept the chocolates, they will need to get you something twice or thrice as worth as what you got them for Valentine's day on another romantic day or shall I say 'pay-back' day called White Day. According to our Strawberry, most girls in Japan believe that if homei-chocolates are bought, it's not true love, therefore they make it themselves. If the girls are lucky enough, then all their hard work has paid off since the boy has accepted her feelings... If not, there's always next time!

So yes, girls have walked over to our small group on the roof of Kurakara High just to give the boys (Ichigo and Mizuiro) a small surprise... It wasn't much of a surprise since we were sure that those two would get the most. But a small knot would suddenly twist in my stomach every time I see them come near one by one or as a group while gripping a small or big box in their hands with shy smiles and blushing faces, hoping for their beloved to accept all their hard work. Sadly for them, Ichigo returned the chocolates... That was the part of the day which I found amusing, Strawberry-head rejecting the free chocolates.

It was all going fine... Until she came with her joyful mood and skipped over to him, offering honmei-choco... It's Inoue Orihime... Who else would it be?

At first Ichigo stared at the box of chocolate that Inoue made him... Knowing her, she probably made up her own style... Her cooking tastes good though! But the look on Ichigo's face said the differ... And there! The knot decided to tight itself more the moment he took it from the blushing, not-so-shy-anymore Orihime...

"Ah... Thank you Inoue..." a small smile replaced his ever-lasting scowl that frightened most of the students, especially women... Come to think of it, those who had the courage to come up to him... I congratulate...

I stared at the two for a little bit longer as Orihime giggled and blushed around-and-about before I looked away, staring blankly somewhere else. Why am I feeling affected? It's just Ichigo finally accepting a gift... No big deal...

"And you don't need to give me back anything next month Kurosaki-kun!"

Maybe I should have gotten the idiot something... But what? I want to give him something that shows that he's like... A close friend... I'd preferably offer him honmei but that'll be just wrong... And here I am... Surrounded by the wrong atmosphere with a knot tightening itself every minute.

"Oi Rukia."

I came back to reality, blinking for a few times before looking at the person who called my name with a cold stare, "Hm?"

"Are you alright...?" he pulled the ribbon that was keeping the lid and case together, taking the lid off, he took out a small sphere shaped chocolate and gulped, wondering if he should taste it though there was a spark in his eyes that wanted to eat it. My mind seems off right now as I could feel my hands clenching into fists without me doing it, it's like they have a mind of its own.

Nodding quietly, I shook the juice box and threw it at the bin that was near the exit door. It bounced off the ring and landed somewhere behind it. "Yeah... I'm all good..."

"Well you don't look like you are."

"Well I am." I snapped back a little louder before standing up and walking over to the juice box, picking it up again then throwing it to the bin firmly this time which caused it to finally go in. I could feel the others' eyes on me; as if they know something's wrong while Ichigo chews on the chocolates. Do they taste so damn good that it hurts every time I hear something 'scrunch'? My eyes stayed fixed on the floor as my hands slowly uncurled… The sickening feeling returned so I turned my head to get a good view at the boys behind me, nodding to indicate that I'm leaving as I opened the door and left them. Placing a hand above my chest where my heart is, I can feel it pumping blood faster than before any of this happened.

But I knew this was coming… Seventeen months… Seventeen months since we've been apart… Anything could have happened… Anything could have happened between those two… They got closer than before… Was I… Replaced when I left…? Just thinking about that, I felt a small part of me shatter to small pieces. Why am I so affected? I'm Kuchiki Rukia! A proud shinigami that was adopted into a noble clan… I shouldn't let these things get in the way… Slowly walking down the stairs that seem so long. Whether I like him, whether I hate him, it's just all so troublesome. Love, companionship and friendship... it's nothing but trouble.

It was heart breaking to write that you know... I don't even know what got that in my mind! Like, ARGH!
We all know that Ichigo /wouldn't/ really accept chocolates from Orihime but hey! It was for the sake of the fanfic...

I suck at chapter fanfics... I really do... I just never get to finish them you know? I need to start talking to my imaginary friend again!

Well this week has been... It was going on good until some crap happened and made me slow... So yeah...

OH, OH! And I've been busy playing Uncharted 3! Har har How I love Nate Drake~

AND, does anyone remember the last line that in italics? :')
