I dont own Bleach or its characters and bla bla bla bla

I was soon breathing hard. I had been fighting Sode no Shirayuki for the past 3 hours. " Your doing better, but you seem tired. Maybe we should stop", says Sode no Shirayuki to me. I nodded and fell to the ground with a weary sigh. The practice had worked, I hadn't thought about him since I had started. And now I'm too tired to think of him. I just layed there for a long time, just staring up at the sky as the sun made its way to the west. My eyes soon started to feel heavy and slowly started to close.

I was just going to fall asleep when I heard a loud "KUCHIKI-SAN!!" I immediately sat up, scared of whose voice that belonged to. Sure enough, I see Orihime skipping towards me. She seemed unusually cherry- well more than she usually is. I wonder why, I think sarcastically. Its no surprise. She must feel like she's the luckiest girl in the world because she was embraced by her beloved 'Kurosaki- kun'. It made me sick. I guess all my pain and sadness had melted into rage. I was enraged that the girl that is skipping oh so happily to me, could get the one thing that was the dearest to me. I didn't stay longer when I saw both of them at Hueco Mundo and I was glad.

I tried to put on a nice face as she approached me but I knew I was trying in vain.

"Kuchiki-san! I haven't seen you since you came to rescue me! Arigato! I'm so happy that you haven't been hurt!" Haven't been hurt? Is she trying to make me laugh?

"Oh kuchiki-san! We are going to have so much fun together! I'm just can't wait to try all the food they have here at the Soul Society!"says Orihime, clasping her hands together with her eyes filled with a dreamy look. She must be day dreaming of food. Typical.

" Wow Orihime, I didn't expect to see you. What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to smile politely. I'm pretty sure my eyes were twitching.

" Oh Ukitake- taichou didn't tell you? I came with Kurosaki-kun to stay here!" she replied ever so happily.

I thought I was going to faint. "He brought you with him?" I asked painfully. I guess he was more serious than I thought. I should have known. I look down, my face would just give me away.

"Oh not just me, Chad and Ishida also came with us! Are you alright Kuchiki-san?" She asked sweetly. I hated how she can be so sweet without knowing how much suffering I was going through.

"Oh I'm fine", I replied with my voice breaking. Orihime didn't seem to notice. "Can you believe it Kuchiki-san? Kurosaki-kun is going to be a taichou! Oh I wonder who gets to be his fukutaichou!" she say with her pointer finger on her chin. I hadn't thought of that. Who was going to be his fukutaichou? Was it still Hinamori? I once again felt envious. I wonder what poor, unforunate person has to be Ichigo's vice captain. But I knew that I wanted to be that unfortunate person.

I sighed. I was being so pathetic."So Kuchiki-san, what are you doing here?" Orihime asked plopping down on the ground beside me. I really wasn't in the mood to be with anyone but i still kept a polite face on.

"I was just brushing up on my techiques", I said. There was no need to tell her about me trying to obtain banki.

"Oh, I see", she said cheerfully," Ichigo was looking for you so I had decided to help him! YAY! I found you before him!" That orange haired idiot was looking for me? I wonder why? "Why is he looking for me?" I asked dully. Im pretty sure he was looking for me to probably just rubb in my face that he was with another woman.

"He said something about you were suppost to guide him about being a taichou, or something like that. Im not sure." Orihime scratched her forehead. So thats why he was looking for me. Because Ukitake-taichou had graciously volunteered me to showing him around. Figures. I mean, it wasn't like he was looking for me because he missed me and wanted to spend time with me or anything. Of course not! Ugh! I'm thinking too much. I need another break

"There you are Inoue. You found Rukia too." I hear a voice say.

"Oh Kurosaki-kun you found us!" cries Orihime.

Crap! Crap! Crap! Please don't be Ichigo! Please don't be Ichigo! I then suddenly see flash of orange and then I see Ichigo standing all high and mighty. Oh crap! Why? Why is it all ways me? I looked down hoping in vain, that he wouldn't notice me.

"Yo. Its been long huh Rukia?" I hear his masculine voice say. The voice that I had fallen in love with. I slowly raised my head up and then I see it. His eyes. His enticing chocolate brown eyes. The eyes that I wished I could stare at for hours. He was looking at me right in the eye. Seeing him here, just awakened thoses feelings I had for him once again and this time, it was even more painfully. I could feel tears pricking at my eyes and I can feel a lump in my throat again. No. I can't keep being pushed around my emotions. I have to toughen up. My behavior lately has been shameful. I am a Kuchiki and Kuchikis don't act like that. I just have to suck it up. I got rid of all facial expressions on my face.

"Yes it has been long", I say back with my voice as cold as ever.
