"And now, let's dig in!" Ichigo yelled and started to eat his food.
"Hey! You should wait until everyone is ready!" Ichigo´s dad yelled, from other side of the room.
"Shut up! Stupid dad!" Ichigo responded and continued eating.
"What!" He shouted at Ichigo, and gave him one of his famous punches straight to the face, and so it began both of them started to fight against each other.
"Come on, both of you", Yuzu tried to make them stop.
"Don't bother Yuzu", Karin said from the living room.
"But Karin…" Yuzu started. Karin sighed and walked to the kitchen.
"It's useless", she said and took cookie from the cookie box.
"Bye to way, where is Rukia?" Karin asked all of a sudden. Ichigo and Ichigo´s dad stopped fighting.
"She said something about going in to the bath", Ichigo said.
"I can go get her", he then said and stood up from the floor, and left towards his room. After Ichigo had left all three shared similar smirks and sat around the table.
When he got to his room's door, knocked and went inside. She was there. She was as small as always, only noticeable difference, was that she had grown a long hair. The hair extends now to half way of her back. Ichigo had never understood why she, all of a sudden wanted to grow her hair long.
After staring her a while, he realized that she had only bathrobe on and that her hair was wet. Without wanting, Ichigo, inexplicably, blushed. He coughed and Rukia just now realized him, and turned around. She had that so surprised –face on.
"Ichigo…" Rukia started slowly. Before she could continue Ichigo interrupted her.
"I just came to say that food is ready", Ichigo said really awkwardly.
"Ichigo, look at this", Rukia said and held out her cell phone. Ichigo looked it and his eyes enlarged of surprise.
"What does this mean!" He asked and looked at Rukia, which had exactly same expression.
"I don't know, but we need to find out", Rukia said and then without warning, she turned into shinigami and jumped out of the window. Ichigo followed her example and turned into shinigami and jumped out of the window.
Both of them rushed forward without stopping and tried to find the cause of that thing. After a while they were able to find the cause of it. There were huge hole on the ground and from the hole came great amount of reiatsu.
"What the hell is that?" Ichigo asked. Rukia looked at her cell phone and clearly tried to call to Soul Society.
"They won't answer", she soon said and looked at Ichigo.
"What do we do?" She asked still looking at Ichigo.
"Well…we're going to smash that thing into peaces", he said and pulled his zanpaktou out. Rukia shook her head and looked Ichigo like he was a little child, but then she also pulled her zanpaktou out.
"Well, I can´ t have you do that", a deep voice said behind Rukia. Rukia tried quickly turn around, but whoever that was, was faster and he slashed a deep wound in Rukia´s chest. Rukia only saw, when her chest was cracked wide open and blood spilled out. After that she didn't hear or feel anything, as she started to fall through emptiness.
"Rukia!" Ichigo screamed and tried to grab her hand, but that guy came to his way.
"You bastard! Out of the way!" He screamed at him and waved his zanpaktou. Guy avoided that attack easily, but the Ichigo rushed past him and tried to catch Rukia. That guy was once again much faster and got in front of him.
Then they started fighting fiercely. At first it seemed that Ichigo was winning but then that guy tossed Ichigo into ground.
"Damn him…" Ichigo said when he tried to get himself up. Then he realized that Rukia was lean in short distance from him.
"Rukia!" He screamed. He noticed that Rukia tried to open her eyes little. He rushed at her and tried to get her up.
"Ichigo…run…" She tried to say but she started to cough blood.
"I can't, besides…" Ichigo said and turned to look at that weird guy, which had just landed to the ground.
"Oh! You both are still alive", he said really surprised. Then he started to pull something out of his pocket, it was black ball. After Rukia saw it, her eyes enlarged wide open, of fear. That man noticed it.
"You remember this don't you…Kuchiki Rukia!"
"What! Rukia do you know this guy!" Ichigo yelled and looked at Rukia. Rukia didn't answer she was too afraid to.
"I have never seen her been afraid of anything. She has almost been executed and killed countless of times, but still she has never been afraid of anything. Except this guy" Ichigo thought and looked at that guy.
"Who are you?" Ichigo yelled.
"You don´ t have to know, because your going to die here and now", after saying that, the ball in his hand started glow. Fear in Rukia´ s face increased and then she was fully awake.
"Ichigo run!" She screamed as loud as she could. After she realized that Ichigo didn't´ t do anything, she grabbed his collar and threw him away. Right before she threw her zanpaktou, a large energy blast came out of that ball. Ichigo screamed as he saw her disappear in the blast.
"Rukia!"
After the blast Ichigo looked straight at that guy. Rukia´ s zanpaktou had pierced through his chest.
"Damn her!" He cursed and pulled out Rukia´s zanpaktou. After realizing that Ichigo was still standing, he rushed away leaving Ichigo screaming after him. Then Ichigo remembered Rukia and tried to find her.
"Rukia! Rukia!" He tried to scream, but no one responded. Then he realized Rukia´ s kimono which was on the ground. Ichigo rushed there and realized that it was unharmed, just like Rukia had disappeared in thin air.
"Rukia…" He said and then smashed his fist to the ground.
"Why did you protect me, again?"
"I'm tired", small voice said in front of him. Ichigo watched that small creature which looked exactly like Rukia, but smaller. She had wrapped herself in Rukia´ s kimono.
