Sorry for taking so long, my school homework is just too much. But here is the part of the story that will no longer have points.

Chapter two: Unusual

The wind rustled through the leaves in the tall trees that now were at their vivid yellows, reds, and oranges. The chill of the sudden coldness ran down the girl's petite body. How good it felt to feel the wind of the world she missed so much.

Rukia turned her head at every direction with excitement What am I thinking, finding someone…

"Rukia!!!!!!"

What the… Rukia turned startled and before she could react, Keigo closed her on a tight hug. "I knew it you're not a lie, It's you isn't it? The real thing?" Keigo asked all at once

"Yeah it's me Keigo, can you…please let go, you're suffocating me"

"Oh, sorry, I'm just too happy…" the tuning of his phone stopped him from talking "Aw man, the dumb timing, Rukia I have to go but don't leave again"

"I won't Keig-"

"I know! Ichigo will make sure you don't leave" Does he really not trust me? I guess it's not his fault

"Ichigo, take care of her" he instructed him as he came closer to them "If she leaves it's your entire fault" and sprinted off to his destination.

"I—" Rukia started but was cut off

"So this is your bag?" Ichigo was looking down at the small bag beside her.

"y-yeah" Rukia's voice barely sounded more than a whisper. Ichigo picked it up and put it behind his back. Rukia barely got the nerve to look up, If just for a few seconds to look even at the back of his head. She noticed Ichigo looking back at her and immediately turned

"Where were you planning to stay? Yuzu would love it if you stayed in her room."

"I was planning to stay with Urahara" She felt so guilty, leaving them without saying a word. Not even a letter to say she was alright.

"What?" Ichigo sounded furious, and looked furious when Rukia raised her head in surprise." I offer you to stay at my place and you say 'I'm staying at Urahara's', now you come with me whether you like it or not" He took her hand and pulled on her to walk. Rukia had many questions going through her head.

Did he forget what I did?

Did he loose his mind?

Why is he acting this way? So much more…

Ichigo let go as soon as he felt Rukia following along. The silence was awkward, too much confusion in both their heads. The good part about it was that the walk was short. Ichigo opened the door "I'm home" little footsteps were heard coming and a little girl with blond hair appeared. Her eyes were bright in amazement

"R-Rukia!!!!" She lunged herself with all her might to her, "I've missed you" She started to cry into Rukia's shoulder

"I'm here now, so don't cry" just like that she stopped, smiling up at Rukia.

She let go of her and pumped two fists in the air "Yeah, so I'll make the most of it now! Karin would flip if she saw you too, c'mon lets go!" she eagerly pulled her up the stairs

"Um, okay" she shyly went up. In every step the memories would come back. On the years before she came back, she'd spend every moment with Ichigo and his sisters. They'd formed a great friendship but I left them…

Yuzu knocked on the door "Karin, guess who's here, you'll love to see her"

"It better not be the stupid Orihime" This made Rukia confused but she put it aside. The door opened and the annoyed expression turned into a shocked one "Rukia?" It was rare, that Karin would show a expression of complete happiness. Her eyes started to go watery but turned to rub it off

"Hello Karin" Karin turned with a grin on her face

"Hey!" Karin turned to Ichigo that was standing behind Yuzu now. "You finally got your brain fixed?" Ichigo looked away

"No, she's just here to stay for a while" Karin got mad in a second

"How's it going?" She didn't know what was going on but she had to interrupt before anything else could happen

"Good now" Karin relaxed again

"I know, as a welcome, let's go out to the park!" Yuzu clapped her hands

"But it's getting dark!" I remembered I had come late in the day. Guess I couldn't wait

"So, we're crazy like that" Karin reached for her soccer ball

"Yeah, I'll pack the dinner I just made!" Yuzu rushed down to get ready

"C'mon Rukia, let's go help her" she walked in front. Rukia stayed there and looked at Ichigo

"What?"

"It's none of my business I know but is there something going on between you and Karin?" Her voice started out normal and ended little

Ichigo stayed quiet for a while before he could answer "I'm going out with Orihime, she doesn't like that" he left as soon as he said it. Rukia knew they were going out, but the words to come straight out of him were still able to surprise her

"We're ready! You?" Yuzu asked as Ichigo and Rukia walked down the stairs

"Yeah, sure"

………………

They ran to the Park, to much excitement ran through the two little siblings. It was dark, but it didn't bother them "Let's play soccer, till we drop" Karin laughed

"No, let's eat first" Yuzu laid out the blanket she had packed They sat for the longest time there. Rukia could hardly eat from all the questions being thrown at her. Even Ichigo would ask something once in a while. Rukia became less nervous and tense and began to talk normally. Rukia, giving it all she had to, even asked why they were not mad at her; all they said was "Because you are here now, you came back" and would smile with sincere feelings Ichigo would just look down.

I guess it is true what they say when a good friend is willing to forgive

"Yuzu lets go play soccer" Karin yanked at her arm

"But" Yuzu looked up to Karin's eyes and understood what she meant. She got up "okay!!!"

"I'll go too" Rukia was going to get up but Karin took her shoulder, indicating her to sit back down

"Nah that would be unfair, two to one" she ran off with Yuzu

"Well, okay" Rukia just looked at them leave. A smile appeared on her face, having fun was all she could do with them. She felt a shiver and turned to find that Ichigo was looking intently at her

"What, do I got some thing on my face?" It was really all she could think about

"Are you going out with Renji?" His question was blunt

"What? No" Rukia laughed despite it all, she held her tummy

"Is it that much of an impossibility to be with him?"

"Y-yeah" She started to cool down "He's a good friend but nowhere near my boyfriend"

"Are you Happy right now?" these questions are so random

"Yes I really am" in a swift and silent movement Ichigo was on top of Rukia, pinning her hands down

"Then please, take that look of guilt off your face"
