Title: Somewhere I belong

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach

Rating: K

Spoilers: This story takes place after Rukia gets rescued, so if you read up to volume 22 or watched up to the part where Inoue gets kidnapped (filler) you wont have any spoilers. I think.

Authors note: Second story in "Vivid Memories", so meaning another boring plot less story. Please tolerate. I thought of this short story while attempting to study for my math test. . I happened to be staring out the window and the sky was shades of blue and pale yellow, it seemed so beautiful to me.

Somewhere I belong

x x x

The bright colours of orange, yellow and red seeped through the school windows, the colours, desperate to get into the classroom, soon turned the whole classroom into shades of orange. Illuminated by the colours, Kuchiki Rukia had to squint while she carelessly stuffed her books inside her brand new school bag.

She glanced at the 5 minute early clock, which some student changed to confuse the teachers, and mumbled, "5:48" Sighing she picked up her heavy school bag and make her way down the aisles of desks and chairs. She closed the classroom door with a loud clang that echoed throughout the whole school.

A little startled by the loud echo, she started down the dark stairway. Hanging onto the handrails for support, she slowly put one foot in front of the other and vice versa. The whole floor echoed with her footsteps.

Why did she feel so alone?

A little discouraged and disappointed, Rukia roughly pushed the school door open and made her way out the door. She was surprised to notice how big their field was when no one was in it.."I never knew my school was this big. . "

Wait, did I just say, my school?

I'm just here to help Ichigo, it's not my school. Just try to 'fit' in with them, you don't belong here Rukia.

Taking in a lungful of fresh, crisp air, she clutched her school bag tighter and started walking. Slow and lazily at first, carefully absorbing all the landscapes, then faster, making her surroundings a blur. All the while passing by familiar scenery and the familiar atmosphere. It felt so right to be walking home late, to be seeing all this scenery. .

No, this was wrong, I don't belong here. .I've been here a little too long.."I've come to save you Rukia" is Ichigo crazy? I don't even belong here. .

Each timid step poured thoughts into her head. Rukia pondered over her thoughts, flipping them over, left and right, poking them, hoping for a conclusion.

Rukia, her shoulders slumped and her head held low, continued to walk aimlessly. But not completely aimlessly, she was always heading in this direction, day after day, week after week . .it was almost like an instinct to her. Rukia put a strand of hair behind her ears and attempted a half smile.

Finally taking notice of how much her shadow has darkened, she looked up to see that most of the orange was replaced by dark blue. "It must be getting late." Looking forward to the warm comforting food she will be served when she got home, she continued in the same direction. Stopping in front of the Kurosaki family's house, she climbed up the window to Ichigo's room.

There was no other place to go, she was home.

Authors note: Okay, so it's not really a story. Maybe if you try reading it slowly, you might get a glimps of Rukia's feelings :). Special thank you's to Youkai at Heart and BlackGeta! Thanks for the review you guys :) And surprisingly I'm on 2 peoples story alert list, one author alert list and someone has my story on their favourite list!I can't promise that my next story is going to be any better, but I'm trying ;) You can help me by pointing out my mistakes and weird sentences (that sound perfectly fine at 2:30am) Oh yeah, I'm also trying to write fanfics with other pairings . . so maybe you'll see some of those later. Thanks for reading :).

Edit: Ahhh, I see. I read a couple of fanfics, and my fanfics seriously suck compared to theirs. Mhmmm, I'am now going off to study and attempt to write better stories! Probably wont hear from me for a while :D!

people cheer: YAY, no more crappy stories from lostxwords!..atleast for a while, then she'll be back with some horror :O
