{ Author's Note: I know that I have done a few fanfics now. This is my 3rd Bleach Fanfic. Of course, the main pairing will be of Ichigo and Rukia; however, this one will be a little bit different than my other two. All I ask is that you let me know what you think of this one.}

Rukia's Dream

By: kpron 2008

Rukia Kuchiki had been fighting along side Ichigo Kurosaki since they had first met. However, in this battle, Rukia was being carried to Squad 4 by Ichigo Kurosaki himself. She was going in and out of consciousness as Ichigo was moving very fast to get her to Squad 4. He wasn't stupid because he knew that he had to get her there quick because he could tell that she might end up in a coma from her lack of blood loss.

Once Ichigo got her there; he handed her to the Captain of the fourth squad where they took Rukia in immedately for surgery. After about 3 hours, the captain came out and told Ichigo the news that they had to place Rukia in a coma in order for her to recover. Ichigo nodded to let the captain know that he understood; but he told the captain that he wasn't going to leave Rukia's side right now.

At that moment, Byakuya Kuchiki came into Rukia's room in Squad 4 and saw the look on Ichigo's face which he noticed was a very sad expression.

"Ichigo?" Byakuya said.

"Byakuya, I can't leave Rukia." Ichigo said suddenly.

Byakuya sighed because he was worried about Rukia as well and said, "Ichigo, you have a life in the world of the living."

Ichigo turned to face Byakuya never letting go of Rukia's hand and said, "Actually, I don't have a life anymore."

Byakuya was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"The day you cut the power in which Rukia lent me was the day I died to regain my powers as a soul reaper; thanks to Kisuke. I did everything I could to get stronger in order to save Rukia no matter what which meant that I had to die." Ichigo said.

Byakuya was shocked to learned that Ichigo had actually died in order to regain his soul reaper powers.

Ichigo started from the beginning to tell Byakuya the whole story about how Rukia had changed his life in so many ways; while still holding Rukia's hand.

So Rukia's dream begins right now...
