Your reading .:Trust:. By Kagome Narome. If you have any Questions leave a review or message me!...but i think i want the review more... :)
Well...i think I kinda failed on this at the end...i mean, i like what i wrote up to a certain point...soooo yeah...
I don't own Bleach sadly, but I down own Makoto and other OC's...
I looked at the house one last time, before turning and ran.
Makoto…
Ichigo…
Orihime…
Uryu…
Chad….
Kon…
Everyone.
I shouldn't have stayed here so long, it was a bad idea.
Things have happened since I was sent here. Things that are going to be in my heart for a long time…
'If I'm going to have to leave this place one day, all this will be a burden.'
That's what I told myself, but I didn't listen.
Compassion, friendship and affection…they're a bother.
All these feelings aren't necessary for a Soul Reaper.
It's unbecoming, Rukia Kuchiki.
"I have stayed here in this world for a bit too long," I ran on.
"YES!"
I stopped, and turned to that voice, his voice.
"You get it now, don't you?"
Renji!
"Well, to put it this way, since you stayed on the other side for so long…" He pulled out his sword. "You got to live just a little while longer," He smirked.
My eyes widened.
-Makoto's POV
I shot up in bed.
Something was wrong, and I had a feeling it had to be with Rukia.
She was acting strange all day. During school, she seemed somewhat distant. She even continued that way after we got back to Ichigo's house.
I grabbed my cell phone, and dialed Ichigo's cell number.
"Makoto?" He asked on the other end of the line.
"Is Rukia there?" I asked.
"Uhh, no actually, I don't know where she is, she left this note though, I don't get it she added all these—"
His end of the line when dead.
"Ichigo? Hey, Ichigo, you there?" I asked into the phone. I took it from my ear and looked at it.
No service? What the hell, my phone never did this…
I got out of the room I was staying in and looked for Urahara.
"Makoto, you ok?" He asked from where he was sitting.
"I have a bad feeling about Rukia, I called Ichigo and asked him where she was but he said that he didn't know where she was and then my phone went dead and—"
"Just sit down and calm yourself," He cut me off. "It's been going through my mind lately, but I think your powers are somewhat connected to you emotions, if you show too much of one emotion, then your powers may slip," he explained, and then patted the spot next to him.
I sat down and took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, I have a bad feeling about Rukia too, but I'm sure she'll be fine…" He trailed off. Somehow I had a feeling that he wasn't telling me everything.
"I'm sorry,"
"Huh?" I lifted my head to look at him, but I was already sent off into sleep again.
"I'll never forgive you!"
My eyes opened slowly, the four words echoing inside my head.
"Rukia…"
I turned my head in the direction of the door, it was slightly open, and I could see that it was raining out.
I felt something heavy over my body; I looked down to see Urahara's jacket type thing over me, keeping me warm. I leaned up from where I was sitting, which was in the store entrance, and the jacket fell off me.
I sat and looked out the door, watching the rain pat against the ground. As I sat and watched it, I felt something deep inside me.
Betrayal.
'I'll never forgive you!' The four words echoed in my head again. My eyes widened.
"Rukia!"
-Urahara's POV
"I'm sorry," I told her, regretting just a little what I was about to do. She lifted her head to look at me with a 'huh?'
I reached to the back of her neck before she could even process what had happened. She fell over sleeping.
I took off my jacket and placed it over her, and Yoruichi came from the shadows.
"Sometimes I wonder if we should just tell her everything that she needs to know…" She trailed off, before hopping onto my shoulder.
"If we did that, then she might just be too over whelmed to really understand it all," I suggested, standing up. "Ready to go?" I asked Yoruichi as I picked up an umbrella. Yoruichi nodded in response.
After we walked through the poring rain and picked up Ichigo, we headed back to the shop. As the shop came into view I saw her, just standing there with my jacket over her shoulders and the door wide open, looking for us.
As I came closer, I could see that her eyes were a little darker. She looked me in the eyes before asking, "Rukia's gone…isn't she?"
I nodded, and continued on inside with Ichigo, Makoto trailing behind, and went into Makoto's room. There we began healing Ichigo.
-Ichigo's POV
It doesn't hurt…am I about to die? Maybe that's why I don't feel the pain anymore, because I'm on the verge of death…
That's right, I was really cold before, but now my body feels warm…so warm.
I opened my eyes to see…TESSAI?
I screamed at the top of my lungs, this was down right freaky! Never mind that! Why was he on top of me under the covers of the bed?
"Oh, good reaction, that's good!" He said, leaning in closer to me. My eyes widened, and I tried to push him off me. "Whoa! Way to close!"
"Boss! Kurosaki is awake!" He boomed, looking towards the door. I some how managed to push him off of me by using my feet as a boost. He went flying towards the door.
I growled a little, but then pain shot through my body, making me cringe away. Then realization flooded through me.
"Huh? I'm…I'm not dead? Why?" I thought, my eyes widened with disbelief. The doors opened, causing me to look towards them, and see and smiling Hat and Clogs coming towards me.
"Seem's your awake Ichigo, but you really shouldn't be up, you might open your wounds," He stated, coming closer.
"Mr. Hat and Clogs…so you saved me…" I tailed off.
"Huh? You sound as if you didn't want to be saved," he stated, leaning towards me.
A flash back of what happened last night went through my head…oh yeah.
"Uryu was there too, what happened to him, is he here too?" I questioned, looking up at him.
"Nope, he went home, he lost and amount of blood, but his wounds weren't that bad. When I got there, I could actually treat his wounds right then and there. You know, he was worried about you when he left…" Mr. Hat and Clogs stated, smiling deeper.
"What? No way…" I trailed off.
"I asked him to stay here, be he insisted that he didn't need to," Mr. Hat and Clogs stated, and then lifted his head as if remembering something.
"Thank you very much, but I'm all right. But rather, take care of Kurosaki; if there's anyone who can defeat those guys right now, it's not me. The only one that can save Rukia, is…Him" That's what he said" Mr. Hat and Clogs explained to me.
"Ohh, yeah, Makoto," Mr. Hat and Clogs called out towards the door.
"Makoto?" That's right, she's stay'n with Hat and Clogs because of her powers…I forgot about her.
"WHAT?" She screeched loudly, coming into the room. She was wearing an apron, looking as if she was cleaning, she was holding a broom, her hands as if she was about to hit someone with it. She was looking once again pissed, but she did look cute in the apron.
"Makoto," I said, smiling to see her. She turned her attention to me and dropped the broom, rushing to my side with a smile on her face.
"Ichigo! I'm so happy you're ok! You looked horrible when they first brought you here, I thought you were going to die, but there was just something inside me that wouldn't let me believe it!" She rushed the words out of her mouth, trying to get them out in one breath. She hugged me tightly, it slightly hurt, but it was nice to know that she cared for me.
"So you cared that I got hurt huh?" I asked, smirking. She whacked me on the back of the head.
"OUCH!"
"Don't be a cocky bastard; you nearly had me scared to death! Yoruichi had to calm me down so that I wouldn't suck us all up in another black hole!" She scolded me.
"Sorry," I said, half heartedly.
"So, what are you going to do…about Rukia?" She asked, being careful of my reaction.
I stared down at my hands blankly. What was I going to do?
"What am I supposed to do?" I said calmly.
"Ichigo…" Makoto trailed off, looking at me with concern.
"Rukia's gone back to Soul Society! How am I supposed to go after her? How am I supposed to save her?" I yelled harshly. I was yelling at myself, not Makoto, I just hoped she didn't take it that I was yelling at her.
There was silence.
"I can't…I CAN'T!" Flash backs of Rukia walking into the light from the doors rushed to my mind, I didn't like it.
Makoto looked down to the ground, feeling the same way I did.
"You really believe that there's no way?" Hat and Clogs asked finally. I looked up at him with surprise, as did Makoto. "No way to get to Soul Society?" He questioned again.
"Is there?" Makoto asked for me.
I stood up; ignoring the pain I was in. "What do I do? How do I go there? Tell me! Please!" I asked desperately.
"Of course I'll tell you," He raised his hand and lifted a finger. "On one condition,"
"Condition?" Makoto asked, standing next to me.
"Yes, for ten days starting now, study fighting with me," He said, waving his finger a little bit.
"St-St, what the hell? You're telling me to train? We don't have time for that!" I paused a little, then continued. "We don't know when Rukia'll be killed over there! Forget that, we have to go there ASAP and save Ru—"
"You don't get it do you?" Hat and Clogs put his hand on top of his hat, interrupting me. Makoto sighed from beside me.
Suddenly, Hat and Clogs took his cane, and pushed my forehead down, and jumped right over top of me, making me fall back onto the bed.
"I'm trying to tell you…the way you are now, you'll die there," He stated bluntly.
For a moment, I thought that his cane represented a sword just now, but I put it out of my mind.
"Ichigo, think about it. Can you win a fight if you are bandaged up like that, not even being able to move properly?" Makoto asked, sitting down next to the bed.
"She's right. You're lucky that this time, I let you fight those two; because I thought that would show you faster that you are no match for them. You're weak, when someone weak enters an enemy's territory, they call that suicide. If you're going to save Rukia, then you'll have to get stronger. Don't use other people as an excuse to die," He warned, and stood up, looking down on me.
"He's right," Makoto spoke up. I turned to look at her. She avoided my eyes, by looking off to the side.
"The Soul Society usually has a one month grace period before executing the prisoner. That should be the same for Rukia," Hat and Clogs continued.
"Execute?" Both Makoto and I looked up at him with horror.
"It's different of how humans die though," He stated. "Starting now, ten days to bully you. Seven days to open the gate to the Soul Society. Then 13 days once we reach Soul Society, plenty of time," He continued again, say it as if it were nothing.
"Only 13 days to actually save Rukia?" Makoto asked in disbelief. I ignored her, thinking about it.
"In ten days…can I…get stronger?" I questioned, unemotionally.
"Of course…if you really want to save Rukia that is. The power of love is stronger than steel. Leave all your fears and doubts," He turned facing both of us, and looked up. "For ten days, can you handle a life-or-death situation with me?" He seemed to be asking both of us.
I scratched my head, and then answered.
"You have to ask?"
Makoto smiled and chuckled, and Hat and Clogs smirked.
It felt like the rain had stopped.
-Makoto's POV-
"For ten days, can you handle a life-or-death situation with me?" Urahara asked, being very serious.
I already knew the answer for both Ichigo and I.
"You have to ask?" Ichigo questioned him. I chuckled, he answered for me as well.
Urahara smirked, and to me, it seemed that this was going to be hard task, but no matter what, I wanted to learn how to control my powers and fight for Rukia.
I got up and went over to him, remembering something he said.
"Hey, Urahara," I asked for his attention. He turned to me with a hippy smile. I smacked him over the back of his head too, and as hard as I could manage.
"You let Ichigo fight those two? Are you CRAZY? What if you didn't get there in time to heal him? Then what would you have done?" I yelled at him as he held his head. Even my hand hurt a little from hitting him.
"M-Makoto, I-I think its fine, he had a point to it, and besides, I'm fine!" Ichigo protested. I turned to look at him with a death glare.
-No one's POV-
Makoto turned to him with a death glare, darkness seeping out of her hair, and turning into the back round. The brunette had multiple thick, red anime vein pops pulsing on her head.
"Don't you dare defend him," Makoto warned with a scary voice.
Poor Ichigo shrunk back onto the mattress and pulled up the blanket as a poor attempt at protecting himself.
"Now, Ichigo, you just stay in bed and rest, Urahara, you are going into the kitchen so that I can talk to you and Yoruichi about some things," Makoto said, picking up the broom and pulling the crying Urahara with her out the door.
"Come on Tessai," she called as well as she passed the cowering giant.
Yeah, i pretty much just copied what it said on the episode, and i am NEVER doing that again, I'll just say something along the lines of it...
Thank's for reading! Don't forget to review.
