The Decision
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's see… I don't own Bleach, and this is my first Bleach story?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started with the teacher announcing the dance. It was in all the confusion, the students running around, the panicking, that Inoue Orihime walked up to Kuchiki Rukia and asked her if she wanted to come over to her house for a sleepover. It was also in the midst of all this talking she said yes.
------
" You look great, Kuchiki-san!" Orihime smiled brightly. Rukia turned around, looking in the mirror.
" It's almost like a insult, you know. You look so much better!" She observed the white dress once more.
Orihime blushed. " Y-You think?" Rukia nodded.
" You should try putting your hair up more!" Some of Orihime's hair came down, but most of it was held up by a large clip. She wore a dark navy dress with a rose sitting on the top left corner. Tatsuki, who claimed that Orihime needed its long sleeves to protect herself from Chiharu, chose it. The blue clips her brother gave to her remained. Orihime was silent for a moment.
" Kuchiki-san… Do you think Kurosaki-kun will like it…?" Orihime blushed, looking down. Rukia became silent immediately, nodding slowly.
'I know Orihime likes Ichigo… But I'll get hurt… and if it's the opposite, she'll get hurt, and that'll be ruining a great friendship…'
" Kuchiki-san?" Orihime waved her hand in front of the girl's face. " It's time to go!" Rukia snapped out of her thoughts and smiled encouragingly.
" Yeah!"
'I know we're going alone… will he be there too?'
--------------
" CHIHARU!!" a foot landed squarely in the said girl's gut.
" Oogh…" The redhead landed on the floor. " But how will I greet Orihime then?" She whined. Tatsuki put her hands on her hips.
" You won't."
" Hn." Ichigo turned to look at the entering girls. Suddenly behind his shoulder, was-
" So who is it? OOH! I bet it's Rukia-chan! Or, probably Inoue-san! Or maybe even-"
" SHUT UP KEIGO! ONE MORE WORD AND YOU WILL BE OVER IN THAT CORNER WITH NO HEAD!!"
" Why meeee?" Keigo ran away. Tatsuki sweat dropped and turned to look at Rukia. The Kuchiki was staring out of the window, blankly and almost… sadly.
" She's not like herself at all…" She muttered.
" What's that? I can go hug Orihime-chan? OKAY!!" Chiharu wriggled out of Tatsuki's grasp and ran toward Orihime.
" CHIHARUUUUU!!!!"
--------- (Anyone besides me notice it started and ended with the same word? XD)---------
" Why did you bring me out here, Kuchiki-san?" Orihime looked up at the moon. It was a clear sky out, perfect for stargazing. Rukia looked away.
" Your feelings for him are obvious aren't they?"
" Huh?" Orihime's eyes widened.
" I bet he likes you too." Rukia bit her lip. Damn, it hurt. Stupid gigai…
'I am a shinigami and I cannot feel these…'
" And…"
' …emotions. They are simply unavailable to me…'
" The way you act…"
'… And a relationship between a human and a shinigami…'
" Is a little obvious…"
' …Is completely…'
" And I know you like him, so…"
' Hopeless.'
" You should go confess to him."
" Wha-?" Orihime turned red. The color didn't show up that much in the dark, but the moonlight lit it dimly. Rukia smiled softly and turned to leave. "Rukia!"
The raven-haired girl turned.
" Yes?"
" Where are you going?"
" Does it matter?"
" Yes!"
" No." She didn't turn around. " Go ahead." Rukia did not move until Orihime went into the building. " I'm sorry… Orihime…. Ichigo…"
