Sorry it took so long, even though I had this ready for a month now ha-ha, so peeps. I totally forgot about!

Chapter Two

Ichigo walked toward Rukia hoping she wouldn't bite his head off. Rukia stared at him as he approached her. Her head was wrapped in a gauzes and bandages. Parts of her arms and legs were also covered with bandages.

"Who are you?" her voice was cold.

"I am Ichigo Kurosaki! Your boyfriend! Don't you remember?" Ichigo started to shake Rukia back and forth. Rukia hissed at him for causing her a headache.

"It won't help her amnesia if you keep shaking her like that, Ichigo" Yoruichi said coming in the room. She sat next to Rukia's bed. Rukia didn't feel comfortable with everyone surrounding her. "It would be best if we introduce her to everyone"

Ichigo let Rukia go and nodded, he started to back away from her.

Orihime smiled. "I am Orihime Inoue" she pointed to herself. "This" she said pointing to Chad "Is Chad Yasutora"

"I am Uryu Ishida, a Quincy" Rukia studied the Quincy for a while then nodded. Was she supposed to know these people? If so she didn't.

"I am Yoruichi Shihion. At your service"

Rukia smiled. Maybe they weren't bad people, but even so she still had no clue who they were and why she was there. She was confused and she didn't want to push anyone to do anything. Maybe the orange haired boy. What was his name again? Ichigo? Whatever his name was he seemed fun to tease.

"Ichigo?" Rukia put on a fake smile.

"Yes! Rukia I am here!" Rukia turned her head to look at Orihime.

"Nah, just making sure I got your name right" she said in a cold voice.

A vein popped out of Ichigo's head. Why that-calm down…Ichigo tried to calm down. Wow she is acting like she did before we ever met. Like a brat.

"Ichigo?" her voice was light but he knew it wasn't good to get mad at her.

"Yes" he forced the single word out.

"I am thirsty. Get me some cold water" Ichigo clutched his fist into his knee.

"Gladly" he stood up and walked out of the room. He never did anything for Rukia like get her water. Usually he would make her do it herself, but she wasn't well and he needed to make her remember as soon as possible.

Orihime and Uryu were telling Rukia all about her soul reaper life and how they met her while Renji was talking about their childhood. Chad didn't say much as always but Rukia didn't seem to mind. She was getting tried of everyone getting in her space and the only person she wanted to be mean to was the orange haired boy.

Ichigo wet his face in the bathroom sink. He looked up in the mirror and saw a brown eyed, orange haired boy staring back at him. His facial features were simple. He already lost his baby fat and he had strong cheek bones.

His mind was confused and had mixed feelings. He didn't know if he should be happy that Rukia is alive or sad that Rukia doesn't remember him. He should be pissed off at the Hallow that did that this to her, but he wasn't. Maybe there something about this situation that made him relief in some sort of way. He loved Rukia, and he hates himself for wasting so much time to figure that out, but something told him that them being together wasn't a good idea. He loved her, and she him, but what the hell was on his mind? He wanted to be with her there was no doubt about that, but that hallow…it did something to her. But what? Dammit, he needed Rukia remember the day of the accident so he could find a way to save her.

He walked back into the room and handed Rukia the water. He sat down next to Yoruichi and Chad.

"Any progress?" he asked Chad in secret.

"Yes she remembers Chappy and Captain Kuchiki but that is it"

"Anything about the night of the accident?" he asked egger.

"Kurosaki Ichigo" Urahara's voice sounded throughout the room. Everyone turned toward him, even Rukia. "It hadn't even been a full 24 hours. Try to have patience. Her memories will be restoring little by little. As you can tell she is already recovering. It is just a small case" Urahara fanned himself as he spoke.

"I can't dammit! No one understands how I feel! Rukia, I know you are there somewhere and I am just letting you know one thing! I will find that fucking hallow and kill his ass! I hope that will restore your memories! I love you, dammit!" Ichigo rushed out the room.

"I don't think that is a good idea" Yoruichi said, standing up fast and rushing after him. "What if you do kill him? You don't know if it was the fall or the hallow! If it was the Hallow that did this then you don't know what killing it will restore her memories faster. It may lose her memories forever! Ichigo think about this!"

"No! That basterd hurt her period! I will kill him!"

Ichigo rushed out the shop and quickly took Soul Reaper form, placing Kon in his gigai.

"Ichigo!" Yoruichi cried, following him, as they took to the roofs, landing in the center then jumping to each one as though they were a special team of ninjas.

"You're not going to stop me, Yoruichi"

"I know I won't, but consider the possibility that you could kill Rukia!"

Ichigo then indeed stop and Yoruichi stopped with him.

"Where are you getting at?" he asked.

"Okay, if that hallow did do something then it did its job at doing it. It could have put something in her or taken something out. I am almost positive that he didn't take her memories out. There is no reason unless he wants to use it against her next time they were to fight, but that might not be the case. It could just be the fall that had happened. It seemed bad, but her amnesia wasn't"

"But he is a Hallow anyway. I kill hallows" Ichigo kept going.

"Save the innocent, Ichigo" Yoruichi whispered to him.

"What?" he said, coming to a stop and turned to look at Yoruichi?

"A soul reaper's job is to save the innocent, not punish the guilty!"

"Fine" he finally said, giving up.

But Rukia, I promised you that I would kill that monster. It just won't be today. Forgive me.
