The past will be told in "third person" but Ichigo will be in every scene and I will be switching back and forth between past and present.

Chapter 10: Yuki

"I want to tell you what happen between me and Yuki" Ichigo breathed. Rukia didn't know what to say or how to react. She knew that Yuki had hurt him and she knew he probably didn't like talking about.

"Are you sure?" Rukia asked. Ichigo nodded then realized she couldn't see him thru the phone. "Yeah"

A young Ichigo walked along the streets of Karakura. September was almost over and fall was in full swing. Ichigo was on his way to school. He was a freshman at Karakura High School. He had on his usual indifferent face and his brown lunch bag that his mother had prepared for him. He was minding his own business when he heard a cry for help.

Ichigo looked up to see a guy around his height grabbing a young girl's arm. She seemed frightened and that all Ichigo need to see to step in.

"Please let me go" She cried.

"C'mon, we could head under the bleachers" he said. Then he was pulled away like a rag doll. He fell to the floor and looked around to try to understand what happen, then he saw a tall person with bright orange hair.

"Who are you?"

"That doesn't matter; all you need to know is that you should leave the young lady alone." He said. The girl looked up at him intently. She was shocked by his kindness and heroism.

"What the hell are you gonna do?" He said, he was about to lunge after Ichigo, when he was pulled back by a great force. He looked around once again and noticed his feet weren't on the ground. He looked and noticed a large dark muscular man was holding him.

"What's going on here" He asked. The kid looked at this man scared.

"It's okay Chad, you can put him down, he was just about to get lost" Ichigo said looking straight into the eye of the poor teenage boy. He nodded quickly. Chad dropped him and he ran for his life.

"Thanks Chad, but I didn't need help."

"I know but you have already got into four fights since school started."Chad insisted. Ichigo shrugged. "I don't care about a fifth one" He said. Chad noticed the young girl standing next to Ichigo.

"Who's the girl?" Chad asked. Ichigo looked at the girl. She was a pale short girl. She had dark brown eyes and short brown hair. He noticed how big and beautiful her eyes were.

"Don't know, by the looks of her uniform, she goes to our high school, but I never seen her before" He said.

"My name is Yuki" the timid girl finally spoke up. "Yuki Cross, I just moved to Karakura, It's my first day at your school"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ichigo, this is my friend Chad" Ichigo said. Yuki smiled and bowed. "It's a pleasure meeting you both and thank you so much for helping me"

Ichigo didn't understand why he had an instant attraction for this girl but he did. "If you want we can walk you to school; are you a freshman?"

"Yes I am"

"Cool, then you can eat with me and my friends" Ichigo offered. Chad was surprised by his friend's attitude toward her. He could tell Ichigo had a little crush.

"That sounds great, Mr. Protector" She smiled.

"Protector?"

"Your name means 'one who protects' right?" Yuki said. Ichigo's mouth dropped. He didn't think anyone knew what his name truly meant.

"Yeah" was all he could say.

"She sounds amazing" Rukia said with a bit of resentment.

"She amazed me from the day I met her" Ichigo said. "She had something about her, she was shy but I don't know why I was so drawn to her."

"She sounds perfect" Rukia mumbled. She didn't want to sound jealous because she knew she shouldn't be. It's not like her and Ichigo were together.

"Well for the first couple of weeks she ate with me, Chad, Keigo, Mizuro and Ishida but I thought she might need some female friends."

"Hey Tatsuki and Orihime" Keigo said as he waved down both girls. "Hey guys" Orihime said happily. Everyone said hello. Tatsuki and Orihime noticed there was a female in the boy's circle. Ichigo's group of friends consisted of Keigo, Mizuro, Chad and Uryu, even though Ichigo and Uryu argue every time

"You're Yuki from class right?" Tatsuki asked. She nodded and smiled shyly. Orihime noticed the girl was sitting close to Ichigo and began to feel a bit of envy. Who was this girl who was so close to Ichigo? But Orihime refused to be mean or rude. "Hello, my name is Orihime, this is Tatsuki" She smiled warmly.

"Nice to meet you both" She said.

"Did you guys wanna eat lunch with us?" Uryu asked. Orhime smiled and nodded. Orihime took a seat next to Ichigo and Tatsuki sat next to Orihime.

"So how do you like Karakura" Orihime asked Yuki

"Its really nice, Ichigo has been showing me around, so I'm getting used to it" She said. Everyone eyed Ichigo suspiciously; they knew he must have had a crush.

"So you and Ichigo have been hanging out a lot huh?"Keigo said winking at Ichigo.

"Shut up" Ichigo said trying to sound indifferent. Yuki smiled at him and continued with her food. Orihime became sad. She knew she shouldn't be jealous, it wasn't like something was going on, but she had a huge crush on Ichigo, and Tatsuki knew it.

"Well, maybe you could hang out with us sometime" Tatsuki suggested. Orihime perked up hearing this.

"Yes, that would be fun, we could go shopping, or have sleepovers" Orihime added

"Sleepovers!" Keigo yelled. Tatsuki hit him on his head for his obvious perverted thoughts.

"Sound great" Yuki said smiling happily.

"She quickly became a part of the group." Ichigo said.

"So when did you two start catching feelings for each other?" Rukia asked. She hated knowing but she also hated not knowing. She kept telling herself it is just curiosity.

"Well we spent a lot of time together, and I had been falling for her since the day I met her. When winter break came around, I decided I wanted my family to meet her before I confessed my feelings to her.

"Everyone, this is Yuki" Ichigo said as he introduced his friend to his family on Christmas Eve.

"This is my father" Ichigo mumbled to Yuki. "It's so nice to meet you, pretty lady" He said. "Are you here, to finally turn my son into man-OOFF" Ichigo kicked his father in the face before he could finish.

"This is my mother" Ichigo said happily. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Yuki, I have heard quite a lot" Masaki said, causing both Ichigo and Yuki to blush. "It's an honor to meet Ichigo's parents." Yuki said.

"These are my sisters Karin and Yuzu". Yuzu smiled. "It's great to finally meet you Yuki" Yuzu said. "So are you dating my brother?" Karin asked bluntly. Yuki blushed madly at that question.

"Karin, you suck" Ichigo said. Karin smirked and walked away.

After having a crazy family dinner, Ichigo and Yuki went outside where it began to snow.

"I'm so happy I got to meet your family, they are so amazing"

"I guess, except, Karin is a little too mean to be a girl, and my dad is completely insane" Ichigo said. Yuki giggled at him and looked into the sky.

"I really don't like the snow"

"Why?" Ichigo asked.

"Bad things have happen to me in the snow" she confessed.

"Like what?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it" She said still not looking at him. Ichigo felt a bit disappointed that she didn't open up. He gazed at her and decided he would finally do it.

"Yuki?" He said. Yuki looked to him and saw the nervous look on his face.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I like you, and not as a friend, I mean more than that. I don't expect you to feel the same but-"Ichigo was interrupted when she pulled him down to her level and kissed him passionately on the lips. He was shocked but quickly accepted and kissed her back.

"I like you too" She said after pulling away. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her again.

"I like you?" Rukia repeated to herself.

"Yeah, what's wrong" Ichigo asked.

"I don't know, its sounds so preschool" Rukia teased

"Look, she was my first girlfriend, I wasn't exactly experienced with dating" Ichigo replied. Rukia laughed over the phone and Ichigo mumbled a few curses.

"As I was saying, We dated for a couple of weeks and became official by the time we got back to school"

"How did everyone react?"

"They all expected it, something about me being obvious" Ichigo said. "So we became the cute freshman couple. I hated it but that's what we were. We never argued and we were always together."

Rukia was really jealous of this Yuki girl, she sounded perfect. She knew what she wanted to know, and decided she would just ask.

"Did you guys ever have sex" Rukia asked plainly. Ichigo choked when he heard the question. Rukia didn't seem phased by his reaction.

"Kind of personal, don't you think?" he asked.

"The whole matter is personal, so did you guys have sex or not?" Rukia asked forcefully.

Summer had finally came, they were no longer freshman, when fall came they would be sophomores in high school. Yuki and Ichigo were spending their day at the park when Ichigo felts some rain drops

"Shit its raining" Ichigo said. He grabbed Yuki's hand as they ran in the rain. Yuki smiled as she held her boyfriend's hand. Ichigo and Yuki ran until they finally made it to Yuki's home.

"Well, I better get going before it rains harder" He said. He was already soaking wet. "Why don't you come in?" Yuki suggested. Ichigo looked at her questionably. Her father was out on business for a few days, so that meant they had the house to themselves.

"Sure" Ichigo said. Yuki and Ichigo walked into the house. Yuki lead Ichigo up to her room.

"I'm gonna go take a shower" Yuki said. She began to undress fight in front of Ichigo. "W-What are you doing-g" He asked nervously. "I'm about to take a shower." She said matter-of-factly. She saw how nervous he looked. She walked up to him and kissed him on his lips. "You're my boyfriend; I don't care if you see me naked."

Ichigo nodded then kissed her back. She kissed him back with more passion pressing her upper body on him, whilst wearing only a bra. Ichigo proceed to lay her on the bed and kiss her back harder, showing his dominance. His lips soon moved to her neck and her hands moved to his belt buckle. He stopped and looked at her.

"Are you sure about this Yuki?" Ichigo asked looking deeply into her eyes.

"I love you Ichigo, I'm sure" She said smiling at him.

"I love you too" He said before kissing her again.

"So she was your first" Rukia said.

"Yup, things were going so good for us, She wasn't this shy girl I had first met, she became this happy open, and assertive girl" Ichigo stated

"So what happened?"

"Sophomore year happened,"

"What do you wanna do tonite?" Ichigo asked Yuki as they prepare to leave class.

"I'm hanging out with an old friend from school" Yuki replied. "We haven't seen each other in about a year."

"That's cool, I'll call you later."

"Okay" Yuki said. She kissed him on the cheek and ran out of the classroom excited.

"I love you" he said to himself. He had a bad feeling in his stomach.

"Who was this friend?" Rukia asked.

"The man who took her away from me." Ichigo replied. "Yuki and I started spending less time together. We used to talk on the phone everyday but soon it became twice a week. She would always have to hang out with her friend. I didn't want to seem like the jealous type so I didn't say anything. She began acting weird though. She wouldn't let me touch her or kiss her. I began to worry.

"Hey Ichigo, wanna go to the movies with us?" Mizuro asked Ichigo on the phone. Ichigo had spent most of his nights at home. If he wasn't with Yuki, he didn't want to go out.

"I don't know" Ichigo replied.

"Oh come on, We haven't hung out like this in months"

"Who is going?"

"Me, Keigo, Chad, Uryu, Tatsuki and Orihime are going"

"I guess so"

"Great movie starts at 8:30" Mizuro said. Ichigo sighed and decided he would hang out with his friends.

Of course Ichigo didn't expect Yuki to be there. Too bad she was there with a young man, who looked like he was around their age. He had short silver hair with long bangs and light lavender eyes. He had very pale skin and was little taller than Ichigo. Ichigo stayed calm. This must be the friend that she was hanging out with.

He didn't want to assume anything, but all his trust when out the window, when the guy leaned down to kiss Yuki and she accepted. All of Ichigo's friends gasped at what they saw, while Ichigo felt his heart shatter into a million pieces.

"YUKI!" Tatsuki yelled. Yuki quickly pulled herself away to see all her school friends and her boyfriend Ichigo. Yuki's eyes meet Ichigo's. She didn't know what to say to him.

"I-Ichigo" Yuki called out to him, as soon as she said his name Ichigo turned around and began to run.

"ICHIGO!" She yelled again.

"She cheated?" Rukia said. She couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, she was seeing him behind my back the whole time."

"Who was he?"

"Some guy from her old school." Ichigo said bitterly.

"Did she ever explain herself?" Rukia asked angry.

"No, I wouldn't give her the chance. And to think I caught her cheating a week before our one year anniversary."

Rukia stayed quiet. She could tell talking about it still hurt Ichigo. She could hear is breathing, he was trying to stay calm.

"What about Orihime?" Rukia finally asked.

"What about her?"

"She told me that you two used to date." Ichigo had almost forgotten. "A few months after I caught Yuki cheating, Tatsuki told me that Orihime liked me. I didn't know this though. Orihime had been there through my breakup and grieving but I had no idea she liked me. To be honest I decided to date her to pay her back for her kindness, but I wasn't over Yuki. Orihime couldn't fix my broken heart."

"She could only be your umbrella" Rukia whispered to herself. Rukia had remembered what she and Orihime talked about at the tournament.

"Orihime is a nice girl, but I can't give her the love she truly deserves" Ichigo said sadly.

"So, do you still love Yuki?" Rukia asked afraid of his answer.

"No, that day at the shop was the first time I had talked to her, I don't love her, I hate her."

"You're lying" Rukia said firmly.

"I do hate her!"

"No you don't and you're not over it!" Rukia yelled. "If you were, then you wouldn't be so angry or say that you hate her. If you were truly over Yuki, you would forgive her or at least listen to her"

"I can't Rukia, why can't you understand, she hurt me, and she betrayed me" Ichigo said almost at the verge of tears.

"Stop being such a girl about your emotions. She messed up big time, I know, but Ichigo if you hold this grudge you will never be able to love anyone else"

"I could forget her" Ichigo said seriously. "For some reason when I'm with you Rukia, I forget she even existed." Ichigo confessed.

Rukia could feel herself blushing. She didn't even know how to react to that. What did that mean? Did he have feelings for her? Why was her heart racing? Did she have feelings for him too?

"Ichigo, you need to talk to her" Rukia managed to say.

"Rukia Kuchiki disconnect the phone now" Rukia heard Byakuya say when he entered the room. "It is 1am. You can talk to this person at a more decent hour."

"Yes Brother" Rukia said. Rukia sighed. "I'll talk to you tomorrow Ichigo"

"See you in the morning" He said. "Bye" They said in unison.

End

So now you know what happen between Yuki and Ichigo. The guy she cheated with is meant to look like Zero from Vampire Knight.
