DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLEACH

I am so sorry it took me so long to update. School has been so hectic with my exams. School's closed now though so hopefully the updates will become more regular. Please review. When I have a lot of reviews it encourages me to write. Hope you enjoy.

"Hey Rukia,"

"Hey yourself."

"What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that. And by the way, great job at hiding your reiatsu. It took me a while to find you."

"You doubted me nah?"

She shook her head. We just sat there in comfortable silence looking at the sunset.

"What are you going to do?" her voice was barely there.

"About what?"

"Don't play dumb with me Ichigo!"

"Fine."

We sat there some more.

"I wonder what squad I'll be in charge of?"

Chapter 4: The Condition

The next day Rukia and I appeared once again before old man Yamamoto.

"What is your decision?"

This is it. This is final. No turning back.

"I have decided that I will come to soul society."

"Very well Kurosaki!"

Old man Yamamoto nodded his head. But I wasn't finished.

"However, I have one condition and I believe that you will agree to my condition because you are secretly hoping that I come to soul society and join the Gotei 13. I am one of the best shinigami there is. It will be a waste if my power is permanently sealed."

Wow. That was a friggin mouthful.

"Very perceptive Kurosaki. What is your condition?"

Okay. Here goes

"That all the vizards be allowed back in soul society ."

"WHAT!"

Old man yamamoto looked pissed.

"NO!"

Why the fuck not.

These shinigami are so uptight and one-sided.

"Then I too will go back to the real world because I am also a vizard and you know this. So it wouldn't be fair to let me into soul society but not let them. And you could use them and you need them. In addition to the spaces of the three traitors, Kurotsuchi-Taichou has passed as well as Komamura Taichou. "

"Fine. You have mentioned valid points. Consider the ban lifted. On to more important matters. Since you have decided to join the Gotei 13. We will require you to take the captain's test. We are already aware of your abilities it is just a formality."

"Fine. I am allowed to go back to wish farewell to my family and friends, right?"

"Of course. You have one day."

WTF!

"Kuchiki Rukia!"

"Hai sou-taichou"

Hmph… I had forgotten she was there.

She was very quiet. Contrary to how she usually is.

"Since Kurosaki has accepted to stay in soul society you will be promoted as the fuku-taichou of the thirteenth squad. You have excellent abilities and I have no doubts in you abilities. Neither does Ukitake – Taichou."

"Arigatiou sou-taichou"

Rukia and I were standing in front of the senkai gate. We were getting ready to enter our new home. Soul Society.

Telling our friends we were leaving wasn't that hard. They understood.

Karin and yuzu however was a completely different story. It made me think that I should stay in the real world. I promises them I would come and visit soon. Hopefully I will be able to do that.

Of course I also told my old man and Yuzu and Karin about me and Rukia. He started screaming crap about making grandchildren.

"Ichigo, you ready?"

"Yeah. Let's go"

When we entered soul society Ukitake-Taichou was waiting for us.

"Taichou!" Rukia greeted and kneeled before Ukitake.

Once again she kicked me in the shin and whisper-yelled, "Respect Ichigo"

"Hello Kuchiki. Ichigo-san how are you?"

"I am okay. What about you, Ukitake?"

"Okay. My sickness is getting to me. Maybe I should retire."

We all laugh at that.

"Kuchiki- Taichou has a room prepared for you in his home. Or you are welcome to stay here at the thirteenth."

"I think I'll stay here. Byakuya is too stiff for my liking."

I turn to look at Rukia and realize she is no longer there.

Ukitake notices this and says,

"She left. She doesn't stay to talk when her superiors are speaking otherwise."

"But I am not her superior!"

"Not yet."

"We will always be nakama. Excuse me, Ukitake – Taichou."

With a nod of my head I shunpoed out of there and went to look for Rukia.

I felt her reiatsu on sokoyoku hill. I made my way up there.

"Hey rukai."

"Hey"

"whats up?"

"Im just thinking?"

"About?"

As we speak I cant help but notice how here lips move. I wish to kiss her again. I wonder how she would react.

Fuck! This is complicated.

"Hellloooooo Ichigo? Are you listening to me?"

"What? Sorry."

"Hmph. Baka! "

This is my chance. I leaned over and kissed her.

She was shocked at first but then her lips started to move against mine. All too soon we had to pull away for breath.

"What took you so long?" She asked me.

"I don't know. "

"hey Rukia."

"Yeah."

"What squad you think I will get? I hope it isn't mayuri! Or aizen's."

"I'm sure whatever squad you get youll be great."

With that statement she leaned against me and we watched the sunset.
