Here's the story please be gentle this is my first Bleach fic!
Rain, Rain go away
Her dark memories haunted her. They never left her alone. Every night in her dreams she had to relive everything all over, it hurt her when she killed him but to have to see it every night when she feel asleep.
Also, she saw the man she killed everyday, in Ichigo's face. Whenever she looked at Ichigo all she saw was Kaien. She then drifted to sleep only to dream of him.
It was dark, and cold like death not a sound was heard in the room. Suddenly she saw Kaien running towards her, but it wasn't the Kaien she knew it was a hollow that took over him.
She stood there her sword glistening in the moonlight. He jumped at her only to fall on the sword the moment the sword went through him the hollow inside him died. It was as if the sky cried for him and Rukia the rain fell softly then hard.
Kaien wrapped his arm around her body hugging her one last time. Rukia's eyes grew wide as his blood was stained on her face, not even the rain can wash that off her. Kaien slowly opened his mouth for only a few seconds to say his last words.
"Rukia…thanks" He said with a smile on his face, which was so like him to smile in the face of death, as his body fell limb not moving. His eyes became dull as his body felt cold, instead of the warm feeling that made Rukia happy it was cold.
"No…I haven't done a single thing worthy of thanks" She said as she gripped him tighter knowing that this would be the final time she would ever get to hold him.
It hurt her when she saw the look of Kaien's family. They probably hated her, they entrusted there brothers life to her they handed his whole existence in her hand and she killed him covered in his blood as they looked in horror.
The blood never came off even till this day she could feel his warm blood on her cold numb cheeks. His life fading in her very hands. There must have been another way there must've been a way that prevented his death. But she killed him.
Something strange happened after that never used to happen in all her dreams. She was in the meadow were her and Kaien would sit and drink, she was sitting there as she say him coming. Then everything went dark the sun hid behind the mountains.
Rukia got scared, Kaien looked angry as he marched over to her. Once he reached her without hesitation he grabbed her by the neck and brought her to his face and began yelling.
"How could you kill me Rukia! I trusted you and cared for you! There was another way! You made my family sad! Then you have the nerve to fall in love with my look alike! You have some guts to look him in the face!" Kaien wouldn't stop yelling all those hurtful words hit her not because they were mean, but because they were true.
She did the only thing she felt she could do, she cried, she screamed "STOPPPPPPP! PLEASE!" She didn't care about the fact that her throat was dry by now or that her eyes were so wet she couldn't see she continued to cry and yell.
That was until she went numb the tears kept coming but she didn't feel them her eyes were as wide as they could get, but she couldn't see. Her throat was moist again but she couldn't scream.
Her vision started to become clear to her now the first thing she saw was orange hair. She knew right of the back it was Ichigo it was blurry to see him through all her tears but she managed to see his shocked and surprised expression.
She felt his hands roughly squeeze her shoulders him leaning inside the closet door. "Rukia!" Ichigo finally said as her eyes moved to look at him. Her body was numb only her eyes moved and could move.
Ichigo got scared, she had no expression on her face yet tears continued to fall. "What's wrong with you Rukia?" he whispered knowing that she heard him.
Rukia opened her mouth about to tell him when suddenly a pain shot through her chest causing her to lean forward her head bend down as her tears fell to her lap. 'Then you have the nerve to fall in love with my look alike! You have some guts to look him in the face!'
She pushed Ichigo out of the closet as she got up and jumped out the closet door running towards the window as she jumped out it.
Ichigo got up and rubbed his head that he injured when she through him out of the closet. He ran towards the window only to see her running through the empty streets in the rain. " Dammit Rukia." Ichigo yelled as he jumped out the window.
'What the hell is she thinking'?
The problem was, she didn't know herself what she was thinking all she could do is run, she wanted to run from her problems so that she wouldn't have to face them just like she did with Kaien, she ran.
Her tears disappeared and the rain replaced them. Why did it have to rain at a time like this, did the rain just love to come out when she stench of grief and death was at its strongest. It didn't just irritate her it took her back to that day; her dreams aren't as real as this. Her cold bare feet were numb from the random puddles she ran through.
"Rukia! Get your skinny ass back here!" Ichigo yelled at her chasing after her cursing at the cold rain that hit him and his bare feet.
Rukia's yellow pajamas were wet to the core providing no warmth for her frozen body. She didn't know way she was running, she forgot why the minute she began. She looked back at Ichigo to see him running.
She wasn't paying any attention to what was in front of her. The next minute a strong pain ran through her foot. She fell to the floor only to cause more pain in her whole leg. Her eyes looked down to see blood all over her leg.
Around the blood she saw a couple broken beer bottles. The bottom half of a beer bottle was jammed into the middle of her foot while the rest of her leg was covered in little shards of glass.
Suddenly she saw a little girl in front of her. The girl looked about 4 wearing a black dress with blond hair in pigtails her hollow blue eyes staring at Rukia her black umbrella saving her from the cold rain, she then began to sing:
Rain, Rain go awayCome back on another day
This girl is dead inside
Her soul existence died
She's now broken and alone
What's yet to come is unknown
It will bring sorrow and pain
Nothing will remain
Rukia laid there listening to the girls words until a passing car came by splashing water all over Rukia causing her to close her eyes, when she opened them the girl wasn't anywhere in sight.
Now Rukia lay there bloody, soaked, and dirty she belonged here, this is were she should be she disserved this more than anything so much blood and pain has been caused because of her even death.
Suddenly she felt like someone was picking her up she moved her eyes only to see Ichigo holding her like a bride as he slowly walked down the streets not even looking at her.
One thing was for sure; she didn't disserve Ichigo she knew she didn't. Yet she continued to love him.
They got back to the house as Ichigo carelessly jumped up and walked into his room laying Rukia's body on the bed.
"What the hell is your problem!" Ichigo yelled as he pointed a finger at her. "First you scream your freakin head off then you get all scared and run away then you get hurt so I bring you here and I don't even get a THANK YOU!" Ichigo yelled as he ran a hand through his hair.
He left the room and grabbed some towels and bandages. He walked back into the room and threw a couple of towels on her upper body to keep her warm and he sat down on the tip of the bed gently putting a towel on his lap pulling her glass covered leg on the towel in his lap.
"Are you gonna tell me what the hell got into you" He asked as he slowly began pulling the glass pieces out of her leg. He looked at her as he took the huge one out of her foot, seeing no reaction from her.
They stayed silent as he took all the glass out covering her leg with bandages. He moved her leg as he pulled her foot on the side walking over to were her head was bending down and pulling her in a sitting position.
As her head fell forward resting on his shoulder she just flinched and pulled her head back looking into his hurt eyes. Those big brown eyes looked into her hollow blue violet eyes.
He picked her up again and carried her into the closet getting a pillow from his bed for her leg.
"This is one of those things that I have to wait for right, you'll tell me when your ready and, I'll listen till then just be careful I don't want you to get hurt." He said as he closed the door and went to his bed.

The next day Ichigo went to his desk restless from last night as he slammed his fist on the desk seeing Rukia talking and laughing with Chad and Inoue. She was smiling and giggling as if nothing happened.
"Hello Ichigo! So what's the news on Kuchiki-chan" Keigo asked as he pointed over to Rukia's leg. "How the hell do I know do I look like her freakin nanny!" Ichigo yelled as he sighed in relief as he saw the teacher coming in.
"Okay class lets start off the day by greeting our new student" the teacher said as she walked to her desk motioning for the student to come in.
A boy came in the class with his white shirt tucked and ready his backpack swung over his shoulders. He looked just like Ichigo except with black hair and blue eyes. And he had more hair that he tied in the back (Like Miroku).
"Class meet Shiba Kaien" the teacher said as he stared blankly at the class looking around without much care, suddenly he spotted Rukia as she spotted him her eyes got wide as her mouth opened up a little he then turned to the teacher "May I sit in that desk next to Rukia" he asked as she shook her head.
'Who is this guy and why is he acting so friendly to Rukia! And why is she like that! I'll find out sooner or later' Ichigo told himself glaring at the new guy as he sat close to Rukia.
"Long time no see, Rukia"
