Rukia packed everything she needed in record time. She had packed some clothes knowing that when she got to where ever she was going she can get more, most of her photos of her friends, her purple headphones and most importantly, her Chappy.
It was all going so fast for Rukia. She felt useless for not being able to help Hisana or her father, just finding out that he had also been killed. But what about her mother? Was she still alive or dead like the others?
The taxi driver had dropped her off at a shopping complex. He got her suitcase, took the money from her hand before speeding off down the high street.
He really wanted to get away. Rukia sighed and walked into the large building. She had never been out of Seireitei unless she went to the abroad.
Rukia was in awe, the shopping mall was massive. It had at least 3 floors. Rukia quickly remembered where she was and fished the shop name out of her pocket. So let's find this 'Urahara's candy store.'
It was on the second floor right at the back. It was simple but had many isles containing chocolate, rock, lollys and lots more.
A man wearing a green and white striped hat walked out of the adjacent room.
"Well hello, I've not seen you before. Are you looking for anything in particular? He asked raising his hat slightly.
"Um well I was told to come here to find a man named Byakuya." She surprised herself, saying all of that without a pause. Now it was just wondering how he would react.
"I'm Kiskuke Urahara and you must be Rukia Kuchiki?"
"Yes sir."
"Well follow me then."
He led her in the back of the shop. Where there were two children and one adult.
"Stay here for awhile, I need to get a hold of Byakuya to pick you up."
"OK." Kiskuke left the room to phone Byakuya leaving Rukia with the other three. Saying it was awkward was an understatement, the children stared at Rukia and would not stop. The adult was not doing much either.
Kiskuke walked back in with a smile.
"He should be here in about 20 minutes." Rukia nodded and began thinking.
I wonder what he's like. Will he be tall? What colour hair would have? Is he handsome?
The last question stayed on her mind like bees to huney. Rukia silently cursed herself. Why was she thinking about what he looked like when her family had just been murdered. Great. Now bad thoughts plagued her mind.
She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear the door open or Kiskuke move to see who it was or hear footsteps to the back of the shop. She only realised that Byakuya was here when she heard her name being called by Kiskuke.
When she looked up, even for just a second she forgot everything when she looked at the man standing in the doorway. He was tall with with long black hair
"Well I have work to do so you two need to get going." Kiskuke said trying to rush us out.
Rukia stood up and grabbed her suitcase, following Byakuya out of the candy store and out of the shopping mall.
