Ichigo was browsing through a music magazine while deciding how he could piss her off today. "I suppose you will finish eating all that in one sitting?"
She replies with her mouth full, "You got that right." She was sitting on his wooden chair with her chocolates spread on his study.
"Good thing gigais don't get fat huh?" 'What is with women and chocolates anyway,' he thought.
"I like these ones better," she said pointing to the dark chocolates. For white day, she received white chocolates, milk chocolates, and her favorite, the dark ones.
"You want to bring some to Soul Society?"
"Nah," she says. "I'd be too busy there to indulge."
She was then reminded of their conversation before the first time she ran away.

They were walking back home, and she was asking if he feels okay. She wanted to know actually if he would be okay fighting hollows by himself. At the same time Kon comes charging embracing Rukia's bosom. Ichigo was pulling the lion's tail as Rukia looks down on him.
"What's the matter?" Ichigo asks.
"I just though that he has grown attached to you," she spoke hiding her sadness.
"Another hassle," he says. She closed her eyes not wanting it to affect her.

"By the way Ichigo, I talked with Urahara, he can take care of Kon for you," she says in a matter-of-fact kind of way, and he just nods. She has finished her chocolates.
Rukia slipped inside the closet. She wrote a letter to him. This day went by without much complications, and she liked it that way. Goodbyes sometimes complicates things.
When she was sure Ichigo was sleeping, she popped the green pill out of Kon gagging him in the process. She quietly opened the closet so as not to disturb him and placed a box of dark chocolates on his study table. The dedication says, "I won't be able to take them with me. Too bad," and then a big smiling Chappy face. Underneath the box is her letter.
Swiftly and quickly she opened and closed his window as she jumped out the window with Kon heading towards Urahara's.
Ah, her love for him, just like dark chocolates…bittersweet.
