My story! Written kind of like Full Moon wo Sagashite, but I added some of my own stuff and I'm mixing it up. Also, all songs in here are by Mandy Moore. There might be some different songs later.
Disclaimer: I do not own these songs, Bleach or Full Moon wo Sagashite though I wish I did.
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. "We're 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."
Rukia couldn't believe it. Sure, Hisana was sick, but she couldn't be that bad could she? She glared at the two shinigami in front of her who were arguing over what to do.
"No."
"What?" Ichigo landed in front of her.
"No!" Rukia pushed Ichigo away.
"What the hell brat!" Ichigo shook his fist at Rukia.
"You're not taking her!"
Ichigo sighed and glared at Orihime. She jumped. Then he pointed to Rukia and crossed his arms.
"We don't have a choice Rukia-chan."
"Why?"
Orihime bit her lip and looked at Ichigo.
"Kid, we have to. If we don't do our job, then we're gonna get punished." Ichigo grumbled.
"Punished?"
"Don't ask."
Rukia looked at the ground. She couldn't believe that her big sister only had a year left. What would she do? Tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"Oi!" Rukia looked up at a scowling Ichigo. "You have a year left with your sister, you just gonna sit here and cry about it?"
Rukia nodded and looked over at Kaien's poster. "Yeah, I have to do everything I can to make her happy."
Rukia turned to run out of the room, but stopped and turned and glared at them both, making them sweat drop. "But, I am not going to let my sister die. I'm your opponent now."
Ichigo sighed and Orihime bit her lip. "We have another tough one, Kurosaki-kun?"
Ichigo scowled and nodded. "Why do I never get the easy jobs?"
Orihime giggled and they floated after Rukia.
Rukia ran downstairs right as Hisana was opening the door.
"Hisana!" Rukia ran and hugged her sister, causing her to drop her groceries.
"Ah! Hey Rukia." She smiled.
Rukia almost started to cry, but stopped. She didn't need to let Hisana know. Putting on her best smile, Rukia hugged her sister and said. "I'm gonna try out at that singing competition!"
Hisana gasped and looked at Rukia. "Really?"
Rukia nodded. "I'm not gonna let her die. That definitely won't happen! But…I have to make her as happy as possible. If I can get those shinigami to watch over her, I can become a singer and make Nee-san proud."
"I'm so proud of you!" Hisana hugged Rukia tightly.
After eating dinner, Rukia went back to her room. Sitting at her desk were the two shinigami. Rukia looked over them before they noticed she was there.
Ichigo had on a black jacket with a red shirt underneath. He was wearing a pair of tan pants and sneakers and had a patch of a lion on his jacket. He had a glove on one hand and the other was open. What was most shocking was a pair of wings he had. One of the wings was white and the other was black. They weren't very big, but looked powerful.
Orihime had on a black dress with a white shirt underneath it. She had her long, orange hair pulled back into a ponytail with a white ribbon in it. She had a pair of white wings that almost looked clear. She also had a patch on her dress that was a sheep.
"Oi!"
Rukia snapped out of her studying. "What?"
"What are you staring at?" Ichigo asked, crossing his arms.
Rukia blushed and quickly though of something. Looking at their patches, she got an idea. "What are those patches for?"
Ichigo looked down at his patch and frowned. Orihime smiled and pressed hers. A cloud appeared over her and when it cleared, a small, white stuffed sheep with yellow bow was sitting where she was.
"What the hell!" Rukia ran over and grabbed it. "Where's Inoue?"
"I'm right here!"
Rukia looked down at the sheep as her eye twitched. "You're a sheep?"
"We can transform into these stupid things. It's easier for the people that we guard. They just think that we are stuffed and it's easier than floating all the time."
"So what's yours?"
Ichigo blushed and scooted away from Rukia. "N-nothing!"
"Show me!" Rukia pouted.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
Rukia tackled Ichigo and pressed his patch. The same cloud appeared and when it cleared a small, yellow stuffed lion with a scowl was standing there.
"Aw!" Rukia picked him up and hugged him. Ichigo blushed and tried to get away.
"Brat! Let me go!"
Rukia laughed and let him go. "So, what's gonna happen now?"
"Well, we watch over Hisana and make sure that she doesn't die until it's her time."
"How do you do that?"
"Like this!" Orihime held up a notebook. "If something that will make her life last longer or end quicker shows up, we stop it from happening."
"Oh." Rukia thought for a minute. "Ichigo! Orihime! Can you guys help me?"
"No." Ichigo pouted.
Orihime smiled and then nodded.
"I'm going to become a singer and I need you guys to stay and watch Hisana for me."
"Are you an idiot?" Ichigo poked her in the forehead.
"What?"
"You're only 16. You can't be running all over the place!"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
"I can do what I want!"
"Um…" Orihime interrupted.
"What?" Rukia and Ichigo both asked.
"I can stay with Hisana; Kurosaki-kun why don't you go with Rukia and make sure she stays safe?"
"Why me?" Ichigo groaned. Rukia punched him.
"Because Kurosaki-kun, I'm a medical shinigami so I should stay with Hisana, but there's nothing really for you to do. So, if you went with Rukia then she would be safe and we wouldn't have to worry about her getting hurt and affecting Hisana's health."
Ichigo thought about it for a minute before he changed back into a shinigami. "Fine."
Rukia smiled at the two and hugged them. "Thank you."
"Yeah yeah." Ichigo pushed her away and scowled at the wall while the girls laughed.
Rukia jumped out of her bed the next morning and her room was empty. She sighed and rubbed her head.
"Maybe it was just a dream." Rukia took a step and felt something soft. Following that was a grumble and some incoherent words. Rukia looked down and lifted her foot as she saw she was standing on a stuffed lion.
"Oi!" The lion stood up and glared at her. "Watch where the hell you're going!"
Rukia gasped. It was real; she turned around as a sheep floated up behind her sleepily.
"What's going on?" Orihime asked.
Ichigo just glared and walked away mumbling. Rukia and Orihime just looked at him.
"Sorry!" Rukia called after him.
"Rukia!"
Hisana! Rukia quickly got dressed and ran downstairs, shoving Ichigo and Orihime into her backpack first. "Coming!"
Hisana met Rukia at the door and handed her lunch. Rukia smiled and they ran to the bus.
"Rukia?"
Rukia turned and looked at Hisana who was staring at her backpack.
"Why do you have stuffed animals in your bag?"
Rukia blushed. "Um, well they were ummm gifts! Yea, and I got this one for you!" Rukia quickly grabbed Orihime and handed it to Hisana.
"Aw!" Hisana hugged the sheep and Orihime's eyes bugged out as she squeezed. "That's quite a handsome lion you have there. He looks so angry though."
Rukia laughed and winked at Ichigo.
Ichigo stayed frozen. "Brat! I'll show you mean!"
At school, Rukia hugged Hisana and jumped off the bus. Greeting Renji like she did every day, they walked into school.
"RUKIA!" Rangiku called from behind her. Rukia sighed and turned around. A piece of paper was shoved in her face and Rukia had to back up to read it.
"Isn't it great? I already filled out the tryout sheet and stole one of your cds. You made it to the first audition!"
Rukia sighed. Well at least she wouldn't have to do that too. "Fine Ran, I'll go to the tryouts."
"Really?" Rangiku hugged Rukia tightly and then ran off to class. Renji looked at Rukia and raised his eyebrow.
"Hisana wants me to try and sing."
"Oh."
They walked to class as Rukia read the sheet. "Gotei Industries is proud to announce that "Rukia Honda" has made it into the first audition for Gotei's newest singer. Ms. Honda must be at Gotei Industries today at 5 pm to audition. Please bring this form."
Rukia groaned. "It's today? I don't even have a song to sing."
Renji laughed and patted her back. "How about that song that you wrote?"
"What song?"
"Extraordinary I think it was."
"Oh that." Rukia had written that song to sing in Kaien's band, but they broke up before she could. Even though she idolized the band and went backstage to all of their concerts, she had never met the lead singer. She wasn't allowed into practices and he would always wear a mask at concerts and wouldn't take it off. Rukia did remember his eyes though, they were beautiful amber.
"Fine. I'll sing it."
At home, Rukia dug through her entire closest trying to find something to wear. Ichigo was sitting, blindfolded on her bed.
"Hurry the hell up!"
"Shut up!" Rukia yelled and threw a shirt at Ichigo. "I have nothing to wear."
"well, why didn't you say so?" Ichigo snapped his fingers and a cloud formed around Rukia. When it cleared Rukia was standing there in a knee-length white dress with green underneath it and blue and green flowers on it. It had green straps that held to her shoulders and it fit her perfectly.
"How did you do that?" Rukia asked, pulling off his blindfold. Ichigo looked at Rukia and blushed, glad that he was in his stuffed form and she couldn't tell.
"I saw that dress in a magazine and …"
"What was that last part?"
"Thought you would…"
"What?"
"I thought you would look good in it happy?" Ichigo yelled and crossed his arms.
Rukia smiled and blushed and hugged Ichigo. "Thank you."
"Whatever." Ichigo jumped onto the windowsill and jumped out. "Come downstairs when you're ready."
Rukia nodded and ran to the bathroom to get ready. Grabbing her cd and putting a barrette in her hair, she ran downstairs.
"Hisana! I'm going to the audition now!"
Hisana walked out of the kitchen and frowned at Rukia. "Should you be going to the city by yourself?"
Rukia froze, she hadn't thought of what to say to Hisana about getting there. "Um, well."
Knock Knock
Rukia opened the door and Ichigo was standing there without his wings and wearing blue jeans with a tan button up shirt and a brown jacket. He was wearing brown sunglasses and handed Hisana a card. "Ichigo Kurosaki, representative of Gotei Industries. I'm here to pick up Rukia." He pointed behind him to an orange convertible Mustang.
Rukia just gaped and Hisana smiled. Handing Ichigo back his card, she nodded and hugged Rukia. "Be careful."
Rukia was pushed out the door and it shut behind her. Ichigo started walking to the car, ignoring her.
"Hey!"
Ichigo stopped and looked back at her.
"How could Hisana see you? Where are your wings? Where did you get that car?"
Ichigo sighed. "You ask too many questions. Come on I'll tell you on the way."
They got into the car and drove down the highway. Rukia was staring at Ichigo with her arms crossed and eventually he sighed and looked at her. "Knock it off."
"Tell me!"
"Shinigamis have power. We can do different things with that power. One of those that take an extreme amount of our power is that we can appear human. Unfortunately we can only do this once a day and also I'm kind of stuck like this for a few hours."
"Oh. Where did you get the car?"
Ichigo blushed and looked out the front window again. "I um borrowed it."
Rukia glared at Ichigo, but ignored it. When they arrived at Gotei Industries, they got out and walked in.
The lobby of the building was very big and filled with young women. Ichigo looked around and then plopped down on a couch. Rukia looked at him and he nodded to the desk.
"You're on your own in there. I can't come."
Rukia nodded and gulped. Walking up to the desk, she got a number and sat down with the other girls. She looked over to Ichigo who gave her a thumbs up and then leaned his head against the back of the couch.
An hour later, Rukia was one of the few left. There was a couple more girls after her and she looked down at her number 56. She was supposed to be next.
"Hey."
Rukia looked up and there was a girl with brown hair and orange eyes. She had a red ribbon in her hair and she wore the number 66.
"I'm Senna."
Rukia smiled. "Rukia."
"Good luck in there. I heard that they already picked who they wanted and they are just doing this for fun, but good luck anyways!" Then she ran off.
Rukia bit her lip, they already chose? Then why was she still here? She looked over at Ichigo who glared at the girl and then gave what looked like to be a very painful smile to Rukia. She breathed out. She could do this.
"Rukia Honda, number 65." A lady with glasses and dark hair ushered her into a room where three people were sitting behind desks. The first man had long, white hair and looked very kind, the second had brown curly hair and stubble, he grinned at her and the third was the lady that told her to come in. She was sitting there very seriously.
"Um, I'm Rukia Honda."
"We know that, now sing." The girl prodded.
Rukia blushed and quickly ran over and put the CD in the player. The upbeat music came on and Rukia took a deep breath.
I was a daydream
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody's darling
Flying around in perfect circles just for company
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary
A midnight airplane
A window glowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you might see me in the corner of your eye
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary
Waking up to wake up someday
I am my own parade
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
Wind is playing in trees
Kick up confetti leaves
Seems as if it's all to say
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary
When Rukia was done, she bowed her head and waited for the results. She gasped and looked up when she heard cheers and clapping. All three of the judges were standing up and clapping for her. Smiling, she called. "Thank you very much!"
Suddenly, all were on their phones calling people. The woman stood up and pointed to a fat man standing by the door. "Tell the rest to go home, we found our singer."
Rukia smiled and was in awe. She couldn't even hear anyone around her telling her things. All she knows is that a pink phone was shoved into her hand and something about 7 am.
Rukia walked out of the room, holding the phone and her mouth open. Ichigo ran up and bit his lip.
"Hey, er its okay. There's always next time."
"No."
"Yea, there is! We'll go practice right now, let's go!" Ichigo started to pull on her arm, but she turned him around.
"No, I made it!" Rukia jumped and hugged Ichigo who froze before slowly hugging her back.
Ichigo smirked and messed up her hair. "Good job kid. Let's go celebrate."
"I am not a kid." Rukia grumbled and crossed her arms.
"Ice cream?"
"Coming!" Rukia ran out the door after Ichigo. This had to be the best day ever.
Okay, hows that? PLEASE review so that I can know what to do/ fix.
