(This chapter is through Rukia's eyes)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tracing his finger down from my lips to my neck, Nii-sama used his other hand and gripped my shoulder. The minute it did I shuddered and my neck hairs stood on their ends. He leaned forward, so close, that his lips were right beside my ear, and whispered, "I love you, Rukia."

My back straightened at those words.

"Nii-sama…" My voice trailed away.

Before I could say anymore, my words were cut off when his lips sealed my own. This time, however, I did not pull away. I closed her eyes and savored the moment instead. I believed him…

After some time, Nii-sama pulled away.

Wiping his lips with the back of his right hand, "My love for you…is unbreakable," he went on. "I want an answer from you…an honest one…about your feelings for me. I will give a day to think about it…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upon reaching my room, I started to make the decision which would change my life. Forever.

"Oh, why did he have to make it so hard for me? Why is it that whenever, I face him, the heat radiating from my face is unbearable and my heart starts going wild? Is it possible…that I love him too?" These thoughts kept on haunting me.

Surprising enough, so did Nii-sama's face. Ever since we first kissed…his face had always been in my dreams. Whenever I see him, I get goosebumps. I did not know what to do…but now, his confession…it has made me realize that…this feeling that I hold for him…this feeling which I could never comprehend…is called love.

It wasn't puppy love…neither was it a crush… Nii-sama loved me back and this proved it.

Reality then hit me like lighting. Wait! What the hell am I even thinking? I can't love him! I can't love…my own brother!

However…he did love me. He loved me first…does that mean…our brother- sister relationship makes no difference? At all?

No! I can't do this! I just can't! It doesn't feel right…

It was like a debate taking place inside of me, between the side which accepted and returned Nii-sama's feelings and the side which was unsure on whether I should acknowledge his confession.

What now? My head started to ache from all those judgments. I still could not pick a side. How was I to, especially when Nii- sama…was my…my very own brother ?

Oh, but wait! He is not my biological brother. So, it should not make a difference. Or should it…?

I love him…Whenever I am beside him, I just lose control of my body…I can't even look at Nii-sama in the eyes. Isn't love the only explanation for all this? Doesn't this only prove that I return his feelings?

Now, I was just plain confused and tense. Never once had I actually fallen in love. Never. This was the first time…and just my luck, it had to be Nii-sama. I did not know how to handle this…at all! Oh my…what mess have I gotten myself into?

A tomboy. Yes, that is exactly what I am. I do not know how to handle all this…girls' matters. I don't want to either…I am what I am and no one could change that. No one. Not even Nii-sama. Or so I hope…

I yawned. It was getting late, and I needed my rest. It had been a long day…long indeed.

Tomorrow…yes, tomorrow…things will change. For the better or the worse, I do not know. What I do know, is that this will affect me. Greatly.

The clock was ticking with every passing second…the countdown to the huge change in my life had begun…

OMG! SO SHORT! I AM SERIOUSLY RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS! *sigh* Will be getting back our exam papers soon enough so…my freedom for using the computer will run out any moment cos I know I sucked at almost every paper.

Lemme just say tis…

The clock was ticking with every passing second…the countdown to the huge failure in my life had begun…

Anyways, my next chapter I can't say how long I will take to write it. Forgive me if I take it really long but I have valid reasons. I already mentioned them above so…yea.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! xD

I'm high…for the time being…before my whole life goes to waste all thanks to my horrible exams. Wish me luck!
