A/N Okay so thank you to those who reviewed. And I know Ichi-nii doesn't mean 'strawberry'. I know his name means 'one who protects'. I am just having Rukia-nee make fun of him cause he is calling her midget. And I am thinking of making her height at tall as Markiplier

(Okay I hope I can trust Google translate on this...)

Broken Chapter 6 Midget in the Kurosaki household

::Rukia::

I hate this... I was told by this bastard doctor that I had to live with him and his family until my voice comes back. I don't want to do this! I'd rather go home to my father. I sigh a silent one.

I tap Strawberry's shoulder. When he looks at me I start signing.

'Are you the only one in your family that can read sign language, Strawberry?'

"My name doesn't mean STRAWBERRY! It means 'One Who Protects!' But besides that unfortunately yes. So you are staying with me in my room I am sleeping on the floor on the futon and you will take my bed. If you need anything female related just use pen and paper and give it to Yuzu or Karin, they are my twin sisters and they will help you, Midget." He smirked.

'Don't call me midget!' I signed very angrily glaring.

When we get to his house I notice when I see that it's also a little clinic as well.

I guess the family is full of doctors then?

I walk in after him and smile at how cozy it feels in the home. It's nothing like my home, well it's been that way since Mama passed. Suddenly I am pushed out of the way and to the side as some older man came barreling towards me and Ichigo.

"WEEEEELLLLLCCCCCOOOOOMMMMME HOME ICHIGO!" The older man tried to jump kick Strawberry but he stepped out of the way and the man tumbled out of the front door.

"Baka Otou-san!" Strawberry slams the door closed and locks it leaving the man outside.

'Who was that Strawberry?' I blink looking at Ichigo then out to the man outside.

"That is my father, Isshin Kurosaki." He sighs walking further in. "Yuzu! Karin! I'm home!"

"Hello Ichi-nii!" A young girl says from the kitchen.

"Hi Ichigo-niichan" Another yelled from the living room. "Where is Otou-san?"

"I threw him out." He said and the one in the living room laughed while the one in the kitchen got ready to scold him until she saw me.

"Oh hello!" She came running up to me and hugged me hard causing me to silently cry out.

'Ichigo? Help?' I could barely sign before he dragged the girl off me.

"Yuzu she's a patient. She is the one Dad and I saved a couple of days ago. Her name is Rukia apparently."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" The girl, Yuzu, as Strawberry called her bowed.

I made the most basic sign of 'okay' hoping she knows what it means. When she smiles and relaxes I know she does.

Now that I got a good look at her, I see how much she must look like Strawberry's mother since she looked nothing like his father. She had a soft face, light blonde hair that goes down to the middle of her back but she has it tied in a loose ponytail, and big dark brown eyes.

"Karin come here!" She yelled at who I could only assume was her twin sister, but when Karin came into view I was shocked to see that they looked absolutely nothing alike. Karin had a much harder face like Ichigo and black hair and eyes like their father. So they were fraternal twins.

I pull on Ichigo's sleeve. 'Strawberry? I need to shower can you show me where the bathroom is?'

"Stop calling me strawberry!" He scowled but his intense amber eyes looked amused. "Yuzu help her out. With fresh clothes please? She has to shower too. The midget smells terrifying!" He plugs his nose in a dramatic way.

Both me and Yuzu slap him in the head.

"C'mon Rukia let's go."

"Oh yea and Yuzu she can't talk! So if she needs anything I told her to write it down for you."

"Okay." She said going up stairs toward what I can assume was the bathroom. But I was wrong it was her and her sister's room since mostly everything was pink on one side and blue on the other.

"Do you like wearing dresses?" She asked letting me sit on her bed on the pink side. I shake my head. "Okay how about shorts?" I give her a look before pulling up my pants leg and looking down at the now forming scars on my leg. "Wow. Okay definitely a no on the shorts. Ah here we go!" She pulls out a pair of loose jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. "This good?" I nod my head looking at her with a small smile.

"And for PJ's here are a pair that should fit you nicely." She pulls out another pair of pants and a shirt. "Although the shirt is short sleeved it should be fine right?" She smiled. "Oh, uh," She bends down into a shopping bag and pulls out a package of newly bought panties. "I just got these 2 hours ago and never opened them so I'm glad I didn't. You can have them." I nodded my head in thanks.

"C'mon I'll show you to the bathroom." I stand up with my clothes and follow her to the bathroom. "Ichi-nii's room is right across from the bathroom okay? So if you are tired and want to rest just go in there and I will wake you for dinner."

I nodded my head in thanks as I enter the bathroom.

"Towels are in that closet next to the shower. Ichi-nii's shampoo and conditioner are the only ones that are in the shower at the moment sorry. So please use those, and there is a new bottle of body wash in the closet as well." She said showing me where everything was. "Tomorrow I will go out with you and buy some new clothes and things of the like. Okay?" I just nodded at her admiring at how motherly she was acting. She must be what is keeping the family together.

When she leaves closing the door behind her I look around and turned on the shower, placing my clothes on the counter, keeping my PJ's on top, I start stripping my clothes off one by one, starting with my scrubs shirt it hurt so much as I pulled my arms out of the sleeves and over my head. I then slipped the scrub pants off my legs wincing when I lifted my legs out one at a time. I didn't have a bra on since it got cut along with my shirt and shorts so that idiot Strawberry could take care of my wounds. I then slipped off my panties. Before stepping into the shower letting the warm water run down my body.

I looked around for the shampoo, finding it I give it a sniff and give a wide grin at the scent.

Strawberry...nice job Ichigo...it's a brand new bottle too...maybe used once or twice but that's it... I feel a weird sense in my stomach. I haven't felt this in a long time. Is it butterflies? If it is then I haven't felt this since my first date with Renji which was Sophomore year of college.

I know we've been dating that long but haven't slept together until my senior year. Yeah yeah laugh all you want.

I wash my hair in the sweet smell of strawberry shampoo and slowly massage it into my skull. It felt good and I smiled closing my eyes as I rinsed it off. Grabbing the conditioner I noticed the overwhelming strawberry scent again as I lathered it on my hands and washed my hair before rinsing it off. I reach out and into the closet and grab the body wash. I stare at the label. Sakura Blossoms... I felt like crying as this reminds me of my Mama. I silently, well even more than I already am, wash my body carefully. Rinsing myself off I turn off the water and stand there feeling cold as goosebumps rise on my skin and as I stand there longer thinking about what I am going to do about everything. I finally get out of the shower before reaching into the closet pulling out a towel and I quickly dry myself off. I pull out a pair of panties from the package that Yuzu gave me and I pull them on. Then I pull on the pyjama pants before putting on the shirt. I look in the mirror and notice the shirt had a Chappy logo on it I smiled.

So she likes Chappy. We have something in common at least. I think as I dry my hair more the scent of strawberry still invading my nose. I leave the bathroom with my dirty clothes in one hand and my new ones in another, turning off the light I walk across the hall to Ichigo's room seeing a laundry basket in the corner of his room I put my dirty clothes in there and fold my new ones placing them at the edge of the bed before laying in it sliding under the covers closing my eyes and falling asleep.

::Ichigo::

I look at both my sisters as they chat about Rukia. I wonder what's taking so long. Is she okay? Should I go che-... Wait why am I worried about that midget? She should be okay. She's tough. Still I have this nagging feeling that something is wrong she just won't tell me.

"Hey I'm going to lay down for a bit. Come and get me when dinner's done okay?" I look at Yuzu as she smiles and nods.

"Oh can you make sure Rukia's alright?"

"I will." I stated as I started going up the stairs I look toward the bathroom noticing the light off and the door open.

Maybe she went to sleep in Yuzu's room. I wondered as I walked into my bedroom and stopped in my tracks. There she was sleeping soundly in my bed curled in on herself. I smiled and grabbed a spare futon out of the closet and some spare blankets and a pillow too laying it out on the floor. As I got closer to her and leaned down to make sure she was breathing I could smell my strawberry shampoo and conditioner that I had bought right after she woke up and gave me that stupid nickname.

I wipe stray hairs from her face. She does look adorable... for a midget. I give a cocky smirk before laying down and resting my head back on the pillow slowly falling into a light slumber that I had gotten used to because of my father.

A/N Okay have to cut it short because I need to deal with some things and prepare for my 21st birthday on Wednesday! I can't believe it I will finally be 21.
