Heartbreaker

A/N: - Remember kids: the world is a cruel place. Kubo Tite is cruel for not letting me own Bleach. You're cruel for making me admit it. I don't own Bleach,

-Don't flame, please.

Rukia sat at the fountain, waiting impatiently. Where was he?

Renji really shouldn't say he's going to meet someone if he's not going to, Rukia thought bitterly. She scuffed her foot against the pavement. She sighed and turned back towards the water fountain. She stooped down to get a drink.

Maybe I should call him. Something might have come up. Nah. He'd call me if something came up. He's just late. As always. She closed her eyes and sighed again before continuing to drink.

I really need to go home. Iwant to talk Ichigo. Rukia smiled at the mention of his name. Ichigo. He had only recently said she could call him that. All his other friends didn't think anything of it: friends should be able to call other friends by their first name. But Rukia knew there was something more. I mean, there had to be. They've been living together for who knows how long.

The truth was, she loved him.

She had always loved him.

But she knew he didn't love her.

That was until he said she call him Ichigo.

Ichigo... With that name came a glimmer of hope.

She stopped mid-slurp when she heard a giggle. She opened her eyes wide when after the giggle she heard , "Oh, Kurosaki-kun!"

Kurosaki-kun? Rukia lower lip trembled. It's probably another Kurosaki-kun. It's probably a very common name. But, just to make sure...

She walked cautiously in the direction that she heard the noise. You know what? She thought. Maybe I really don't need to know. What if it isn't Ichigo? I shouldn't be invading two complete strangers privacy. She turned back to walk to the fountain to wait for Renji.

"Please, call me Ichigo." Rukia stopped again.

"I-I-Ichigo?" Rukia murmured. How many Kurosaki Ichigos can there be? And if that was her Ichigo, who was he talking to? Ichigo was usually so strict about people forgetting his title.

With determination, she marched towards a group of trees, from which she heard the voices. She peered from behind one especially large tree. She covered her mouth has she gasped. Ichigo and Orihime were kissing.

She drew away from the tree. I saw way to much. Way, way too much. She covered her ears as if to drown out the voice in her head saying, "Ichigo doesn't like you! Ichigo doesn't like you! Ichigo doesn't like yooooouuuuu!" She was about to scream, "Shuddup!" to herself but stopped herself. No…I have to be quiet…I can't let them know I saw them. I can't let anyone know I saw them. So Rukia stood there quietly, her back to them, crying quiet tears, thinking quiet, sad thoughts.

Where did I go wrong? I thought that...we were...No. Obviously not. God...how could I have been so stupid. She wiped away the tears that were falling down her cheeks. This couldn't be happening. None this was happening. It just couldn't be happening. Here she was, impatiently waiting for Renji so that she could hurry up, talk to Renji, go home, and talk to Ichigo. Here she was finding out that Ichigo, the person she had loved and wanted to hurry to get home see, didn't love her back. It had to be a dream. It just had to! I just need to wake up, Rukia thought. I just need to wake up…

So she tried to wake up. She bit her thumb until it almost bled. She pinched herself so hard that her arm felt numb. She tugged on her ear. Wake up, wake up! She sighed and stopped tugging on her ear. She felt her eyes well up with angry tears. Real tears, not dream ones. She looked around to see if Renji was coming.

You know what…I don't care anymore. Let Renji be late. I won't be here when he comes. She groaned a little as she wiped her face. I just can't take this... I'm going home.

She ran away sobbing, knowing that she will never wake from this nightmare.

.:End:.

Random Fact: To tell you the truth, Kurosaki isn't that common a name. I'd say it wasn't even in the top 500 hundred of the most common names. Seriously.

And, I know. It's still pretty short. But remember. I have a bunch of different ideas for the ending so I'm going to put them all in different chapters. It will be a lot longer with the endings added on to it. I promise.

Also...review and tell me how to make this part better. Constructive criticism, ideas and praise are welcome.

I'm sorry if it's bad

If you like it I'm glad
