Chapter 2
"Rukia, how are you feeling?" Ichigo handed over her meal as he sat down next to her on a chair. He brought some new flowers for exchange of the roses in her room. "Today is a ham sandwich with fruit salad. I have apple juice if you want some." He took out the table and placed it on her blanket so she doesn't need to get out of her bed to eat.
Rukia just nodded. She was looking outside the window. Nee-san… She couldn't stop thinking about her dearest sister. She turned her head to the meal as she started to tear up the packet and eat her food. She took a small bite of her food, while Ichigo was sitting next to the bed reading a book. She was only sixteen, which means she should be having fun at school and making new friends. But the accident made her trapped in the hospital, like a helpless bird shut in a cage. Why is Ichigo taking care of me? Shouldn't he have school now? He is around the same age as me. She wondered.
"Ichigo…" She spoke softly as she put her food down back onto the tray.
Ichigo raised his head up as he shoved his bookmark at the page he was reading and closed the book.
"Where's nii-sama?" Rukia asked. Her face showed no emotion, just plainly, words.
"He is in another hospital. I heard that only that hospital can take care of his injuries." Ichigo answered, but he doesn't know which other hospital. He rubbed her head gently and stood up. "I'm going to go and fetch up some homework from my school. If you want anything from outside, just call me with this phone. I have my number saved inside there." He placed a pure white clamshell mobile phone on the table next to her bed and left the room. He closed the door silently behind him as Rukia just stared at her food.
I hope nii-sama is doing fine… She started to eat again. She needed to recover as soon as possible so she can go and visit her brother, Byakuya.
It has been one week for Rukia to stay in the hospital, she was getting used to the quietness, and the feel of her empty heart. She didn't want Hisana to die. Hisana was her beloved sister, and her only sister. Their parents died right after Rukia's birth, so Hisana was mother-like to Rukia. She took care of Rukia until now, but she has passed away. She wanted to cry, but tears just won't fall out. She wanted to just let out of all her depression at that moment, but her feelings didn't allow her. She was trapped inside the sea of the sadness. She was so sad, that she no longer know what is the feeling of love, what is the feeling of anger, what is the feeling of sadness. She lost all of her feelings.
She tried to pull out a smile, but she couldn't even curl up the edge of her lips. Rukia decided to throw away feelings, as long she gets to survive from these injuries, she can still live. She finished the last bit of her meal and grabbed the phone and searched for Ichigo's number.
"Ichigo, can you buy me some books to read? Any types of book are fine, as long they aren't science fiction and non-fiction." Rukia spoke through the phone.
"Sure. I'm heading to the book store right now. I will be back very soon." Ichigo replied. Rukia can hear the sound of the busy road and the noise of the city. She wanted to go outside, but she doesn't want to leave the room. She felt that she will faint anytime if she receives sunlight.
"Thank you." She pressed the red button and ended the call.
So this is the end of this chapter ^.^
