Okay, this is a new story that I thought up. I got the idea from Full Moon wo Sagashite, but I'm changing a lot of the stuff.

I do not own anything in this story, except some ideas.

Disclaimer:

The songs are owned by Mandy Moore and their writers.

Bleach is owned by Tite Kubo.

Anything else, I don't own either!


Rukia smiled as she looked up at the thousands and thousands of fans waiting for her. She walked out into the spotlight and grinned as the roar of cheers were heard. Bowing her head, she looked down as the slow music began. She thought back to Kaien and began to sing

You were my first slow dance

Thought that we had a chance

But together it was too hard for you

Hanging out with your friends

And I accepted things

All I need is for you to be true

I know you care

But it's just not fair

When you're not around I want you there

And I need you to stop breaking my heart...

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing apart

All I need is for you to be true

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing us apart

Baby quit breaking my heart

Baby I don't feel this way about everyone

Something about you boy

Nothing seems to be quite like this

Holding your hand

Touching my face

Standing here waiting for our first kiss

I know you care

But it's just not fair

When you're not around I want you there

And I need you to stop breaking my heart...

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing apart

All I need is for you to be true

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing us apart

Baby quit breaking my heart

Quit breaking my heart

I know you care

But it's just not fair

When you're not around I want you there

And I need you to stop breaking my heart...

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing apart

All I need is for you to be true

Quit breaking my heart

It's tearing us apart

Baby quit breaking my heart

As the music ended, Rukia's ears were slammed with the sound of cheers. She bowed and turned around and was met with a surprise.

"Kaien!" The black haired man was standing at the back of the stage, a bouquet of roses in his hands.

"Rukia." He said softly as the girl ran to him. She jumped into his arms, getting an Aww from the audience.

Gently, he leaned down and kissed her, making her heart flutter.

"What are you doing here?"

"You finally completed your dream didn't you?"Rukia smiled up at him and nodded before placing her head against his chest.

"Rukia, wake up."Rukia looked up confused.

"What?"

Kaien talked again, but Rukia heard no words coming from his mouth. Shaking her head, she listened as a familiar voice began to become clear.


Opening her eyes, Rukia sat up as she looked and saw Hisana standing in her doorway.

"It was a dream?" Rukia asked as she looked down at her hands.

"What are you talking about?" Hisana pouted. "Come on, you have school and I have to get to work."

"Sorry!" Rukia jumped up and quickly ran to the bathroom. Rukia quickly got dressed in her school uniform and brushed her hair and teeth. She ran and met Hisana at the door as she handed Rukia a bento. They ran and caught the bus right before it was about to leave. As they sat on the cold, blue seats Rukia stared out the window.

"What was that song you were singing the other day?"

Rukia looked over in shock. "You heard me?"

Hisana smiled and hugged her sister. "Of course I do, I love when you sing."Rukia smiled and looked back out the window.

"Why don't you try out at one of those competitions? You're good enough to make it to the top."

Rukia rolled her eyes. "I don't want to sing in front of people." That was a lie, but if Hisana knew that Rukia didn't want to sing because she would have to leave Hisana, she would get angry.

Rukia frowned as she looked over at her sister. Her sister was beautiful. Many people said that they looked alike, but she never saw it. Rukia's eyes got wide as her sister coughed, but Hisana rolled her eyes and waved Rukia off.

Hisana had cancer. She was very sick and if Rukia got a job singing, well no one would be there to take care of Hisana. They lived alone in a small apartment. They didn't have much money even though Hisana worked as a secretary at Kuchiki industries. Rukia was the only one that could take care of her sister. She looked up as the bus pulled in front of the high school. Rukia gave her sister a kiss and ran off. She grinned as she saw her best friend Renji standing by the gates.

"Yo Rukia!" Rukia smiled and ran up to Renji.

"Hey Renji." Falling into step, they walked into the school.

"So, how's Hisana?" Renji asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

Rukia shrugged. "Better I guess. She's not coughing all the time.""What does she have again?"

Rukia rolled her eyes. "Cancer."

"Oh. So how are you Shorty?"Renji was answered with a punch to the stomach. "Ow!" He rubbed the sore spot.

Rukia smiled as they went into their class. She looked around the familiar room and went to her seat. This was the beginning of her sophomore year. She sat down and began unpacking her bag until she was interrupted by a large pair of breasts shoving themselves in her face. Rukia scowled and looked up at Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Hey?"

"Hi Ru!" The blonde girl giggled and hugged Rukia tightly.

"Can't breathe!" Rukia struggled to free herself.

"Oh, sorry!" Rukia rolled her eyes, but smiled at her nonetheless.

"Aren't you so excited?"

"About?"

Rangiku jumped in Rukia's face. "You don't know?"

Rukia raised her eyebrow. "Obviously not."

Rangiku leaned in close and whispered in Rukia's ear. "There's an audition for the new singer for Gotei Industries."

Rukia sighed and pushed Rangiku away. "And?"

"Come on Rukia! You know you sing like an angel, why don't you just try out?"

Rukia frowned and looked out the window. "You know why Ran."

"Hisana would want you to, ya know."

Rukia turned to answer, but Rangiku was already sitting in her seat. Ms. Ochi walked in and screamed for them to sit down.

"Roll call!"

Everyone scampered to their seats as she began roll call.

"Abarai!"

"Yo!"

Ms Ochi scowled at him, but continued.

"Arisawa!"

"Here." A bored girl with short hair answered from the back of class.

Rukia drowned her out as she continued with the call.

"Honda!"Rukia was still daydreaming as Ms. Ochi walked up and dropped a book on Rukia's desk.

Rukia screamed and jumped.

"Rukia Honda."

"H-here!"Ms. Ochi smiled and continued with the roll. "Matsumoto!"

"Here!" Rangiku said sweetly.

"Button it up Matsumoto."

"Yes." Rangiku said solemnly and buttoned up her shirt so that it left more to the imagination.

Rukia giggled and listened as Ms. Ochi began her lecture.

At lunch, Rukia, Renji, and Rangiku all traveled up to the roof where they usually ate lunch.

"Hitsugaya-kun!" Rangiku called as she waved to a short boy with white hair. Rukia and Renji looked to each other as they shrugged.

"I hope you guys don't mind. I asked the new transfer students to join us for lunch."

They shook their head and walked up to Hitsugaya.

"Toshiro Hitsugaya." He rolled his aqua eyes and moved to the side as we saw a short, brown haired girl who looked very shy.

"Hello." She muttered.

Hitsugaya scowled and looked at Rukia and Renji. "Her name is Hinamori Momo. She's an old…friend."The girl brightened considerably after Hitsugaya called her his friend. Rukia and Renji smiled and they sat down to eat lunch.

The rest of Rukia's day was pretty uneventful. Little did she know that her entire life would be changed that night.


"Hisana! I'm home!"

"Welcome home!"

Rukia smiled and hugged her sister and studied her for a moment. That was until Hisana threw a washcloth at her.

"What was that for?" Rukia glared.

"Stop staring at me Rukia. I'm fine." Hisana rolled her eyes and continued making dinner.

Rukia smiled and went to help. After setting the table, Hisana came out with the food.

The dinner was quiet until Hisana began to cough.

"Hisana!" Rukia cried and ran over to her sister.

Hisana pushed Rukia away gently and finished coughing. She wiped her face and smiled gently at Rukia.

"I'm fine Rukia."

Rukia was skeptical, but went and finished her dinner, watching Hisana out of the corner of her eye the rest of dinner.

After dinner, Hisana went to her room to rest. Rukia tucked her sister in and watched as she breathed in and out. Walking and softly closing the door, Rukia whispered. "I love you Hisana."

Plopping down on her bed, she stared at the poster on the wall. It was a poster of the band, Bleach. It had a hooded boy with a microphone standing in the front and a guy with a tattoo of the number 69 on his face at the drums. A boy with blond hair that fell into his face was on guitar and Rukia smiled as she saw Kaien in the picture on the bass. Kaien had given it to her. It was his old band, until that day.


"You're moving?" A twelve year old Rukia asked as she looked at her older boyfriend Kaien. His blue eyes looked at her sadly as he nodded.

"What about Bleach? What about school? What about…us?"

"I have to go to America. The band is splitting up."

Rukia began to cry as she reached out for Kaien. "Don't go."

"This is a great opportunity for me Rukia. Where else can I get this sort of medical training?"

"Here!"

Kaien shook his head. "America is far more advanced. I need to go study and you need to work on your dream. I'll become a doctor and you'll become a singer."

"I want to go with you!"

"Goodbye Rukia. Besides, you need to stay here. You have to take care of Hisana."

He left Rukia sitting outside her house as the rain began to fall. As he entered his car, he looked over. "I love you Rukia."

She never answered.

Miyako, Kaien's twin sister waved sadly from the passenger seat.

"Bye Rukia! I'll miss you!"Rukia sat there and cried as she lost her boyfriend and best friend in one day.


Rukia glared at the poster. It had been three years since then and she hadn't heard a word from Kaien.

What she didn't expect was for two people to come floating through her poster.

"Ahh!" Rukia fell off her bed as she stared at the two strangers who didn't seem to notice her.

"This is the house?" The orange haired one asked the orange haired girl.

"Yes Kurosaki-kun."

Rukia stared at the two. The boy was tan and muscular and had bright orange hair. He had amber eyes that shocked Rukia. "What a color." He also looked oddly familiar…

The girl had orange hair and gray eyes. She was very…fit, and was absolutely beautiful.

"What are you doing here!"They didn't seem to hear her. Until Rukia threw a book at the boy.

"Damn it!" He turned and glared at Rukia. "What the hell was that for?"

"You don't just bust into someone's room and ignore them!"

"I can do what I want!"

The two were in each other's face glaring until a embarrassed cough interrupted their glaring.

"What is it Inoue?"

"Kurosaki-kun, did you not notice that she can see us?"

"How can she see us?"

"I don't know!" Inoue made her book pop out of thin air and flipped through it. "Here it is!"

"I really hate that thing." He groaned at the handbook.

"A human might be able to see a shinigami if they have witnessed a death before."

The boy scowled at Rukia and flew close to her face.

"You can see us?"

Rukia glared and crossed her arms. "I threw a book at you didn't I?"

The two looked at each other with wide eyes.

"What are you doing in my room?"

They looked at each other and fought until the girl was pushed close to Rukia.

"Well, you see…" The girl laughed nervously. "We're shinigami."

"Shinigami?"The boy spoke up then, his arms were crossed and he wasn't looking at her, but he talked.

"Shinigami, protectors of souls. We make sure that the soul doesn't die with regrets so they don't turn into Hollows."

"Hollows?"

"Hollows are like ghosts that feed on people's souls." The girl explained.

"Oh I see." Rukia turned away from them. Turning around she yelled, "That explains nothing!"

The boy scoffed and landed in front of her. "It's none of your business."

"You're in my room, I think it's my business."

"Who asked you midget?"

Rukia kicked him. "Answer my question Berry head!"

The girl sweat dropped. "Maybe we went about this all wrong." She pulled the boy back and then bowed to Rukia.

"I am Orihime Inoue, a first-class Shinigami."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, second-class."

Rukia nodded until…she fell on the ground and began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Ichigo shook his fist at her.

"Your name!" Rukia laughed, wiping her eyes.

Ichigo scowled and turned away from her. When Rukia stopped laughing, she sat back up.

"So why are you guys here?"

Ichigo glared at her. "To watch over your sister's soul."

"What?" Rukia's eyes got wide.

Orihime bowed and looked at Rukia sadly. "Your sister only has a year left to live."


So that's it so far. Let me know what you think. If you're confused, here's a summary.

Rukia has a sister Hisana who works at Kuchiki Industries. Their last name is Honda.

Rukia used to date Kaien, who has moved to America to study medicine.

Hisana has cancer.

Kaien used to be in a band named Bleach.

Renji, and Rangiku are Rukia's best friends.

First-class Shinigami: medical class

Second-class Shinigami: military class.
