Chapter 10 Missing you!
I don't own BLEACH
"Hello...Queen."
Rukia's eyes widen even more upon hearing the different tone of his voice. "I-Ichigo? Is that...you?" she asks, panic and worry in her voice.
"Heh! King's not here. He's dead already."
"Ichigo, what are you talking about? Get off me!" Rukia wiggles and tries to push him away but she's no match with his strength. Ichigo's grin widens even more, the corners of his lips almost reaching his ear. He tightens her hold on the girl and grinds his lower body against her. Rukia stiffens and stops her wiggling when her golden eyed husband grinds his body on her. She blushes and glares up at him. "Ichigo, you jerk! Get off me now!"
"I told yah, King is not here."
"What are you talking about? Just-" She cuts her own sentence as Ichigo leans down on her neck and gives it a long slow lick.
"Hmm...very nice. King picked out the best," he says as he gives her another long lick before he starts kissing and sucking on her neck.
Rukia starts to really panic as she realizes that her husband might be possessed. She starts kicking and pushing him off her with all her might. "No! Stop! Who are you? Stop it-Uugh!"
Ichigo laughs maniacally then dives down for her lips but Rukia turns her head on the side so Ichigo's mouth lands on her jaw instead. He doesn't mind though whatever part of her face he kisses because he likes every part of her. He continues to grind his body against her while placing open mouth kisses on her jaws and cheeks. Rukia then starts crying as she still fights the possessive being on top of her. Though its Ichigo's mouth and body that's assaulting her, she still doesn't want those kisses. It's not Ichigo's kisses and it's not Ichigo's gentle caresses. "Ichigo..." she sobs.
"King cannot here yah," he says, taking her ears in his mouth and nibbles on it.
"Ichigo..."
"Just give in now Queen. I'll make yah feel something King has never make yah feel before."
"Ichigo... Ichigoooo!"
A burst of heavy and strong reiatsu shakes down the whole house and even reaches down the underground. Urahara stands upright upon feeling it and he dashes out of the underground and hurries upstairs. Yuroichi, Renji, Toshiro and Shinji follow him while the others stay and wait there. Momo awakes by the strong shaking of the floor. She gets up and automatically searches for her mother and seeing her there, she then searches for her friend. She hears a scream from the other room and realizing it's her friend's voice she quickly heads out towards the next room. But as Momo slides the door open, an invisible force pushes her away. She screams as she came flying towards the stairs but a pair of strong arms catches her fall. She looks up and her heart does a summersault upon seeing the face of her savior.
"My hero..." she mumbles dreamily, forgetting everything around for a moment until Toshiro places her down and tells her to go downstairs without even glancing at her. Another powerful force shakes the whole house as Urahara and the others reach the door to Ichigo's room. And they are all surprised to feel the barrier blocking the room.
"What is this?" Renji asks.
"It's the same barrier that I've encountered before," Toshiro says.
"But why do you have it here?"
"It's from a hollow. Hurry up, minna! We have to save Rukia-chan!" Urahara says ignoring the confused stares from the others. The barrier then becomes visible and thick black clouds fill it, blocking their view.
Inside the barrier, Ichigo groans in pain and crawls off from his wife, his hand cupping a side of his face while the other clutches tightly on his chest. Rukia sits upright and watches him with wide eyes as he writhes and cries out in pain. "Ichigo! What's wrong? Ichigo!"
"Back off!" he growls, shoving her roughly away from him. Rukia frowns, shock and confused to see his eyes turning red. But then he growls and his orbs turn golden again. Rukia then realizes that Ichigo might be fighting with the 'Thing' that's possessing him.
"Ichigo-"
Ichigo jerks and stops writhing. And when he turns up at her, his piercing gold eyes and evil grin are back. "Heh!"
"No, Ichigo..." she mumbles and feels herself being tackled down on the floor again.
"C'mon everyone, we'll break this thing together!" Urahara shouts.
"AAH!"
"I'm sorry Queen," The possessed Ichigo says, grabbing her by the neck and starts strangle her. "I have tah kill yah so I can take on King's body."
"I-Ichi-g-go..."
Ichigo laughs maniacally but then he jerks in pain and his hands loosen slightly around her neck. "No, King! I have tah kill her! I have tah-"
Rukia coughs as Ichigo turns his gaze back at her husband but before she could register what color his eyes are, Ichigo delves down on her neck and bites her.
"Again, let's all put our reiatsu up!"
"Hai..!"
Rukia gasps loudly, her eyes rolling at the back of her head and her spine arches involuntarily at the sudden pain on her neck. She can feel his sharp teeth digging deeper on her flesh and her body starts shaking as Ichigo begins sucking her blood. She closes her eyes tight and bites her lips to stop herself from screaming but he's sucking becomes harsh and hungrier unlike the first time. But as he drinks up her blood, the black clouds around them starts to slowly fade along and the barrier is cracking up. But her strength is also fading with it as Ichigo keeps sucking on her blood. Everything around her starts spinning, she feels numb though she still hears him groaning and moaning animalistic against her neck. But then he finally stops and tries to lift his head to look up at her. His half lidded honey amber eyes staring down at her with love and concern.
"I'm sorry, Ru-Rukia..." he mutters weakly before he falls limply on top of her the same time the barrier shatters into pieces. Yelling and shouting fill the room as Urahara and the others rush inside. She can see their blurred images rushing towards them but she's too weak to register what they're doing until her body gives in and she finally looses consciousness.
.
.
.
.
Moaning softly, Rukia opens her eyes but shuts it back close as the soft sunlight coming through the window hits her. She squints and covers her eyes with her arm before slowly pushing herself up from the make shift bed. Adjusting her vision, she looks around and realizes that she's inside an unfamiliar room. "Where am I?"
Her question is quickly answered as the door slides open and a tanned skin woman comes in. "You're up," she greets, walking towards her and sitting beside her bed. "How are you feeling?"
Instead of answering the question, Rukia strengthens and asks, "Where's Ichigo? Why am I still here? And what happened to me?"
Yuroichi sighs softly and stands up from the floor, "Can you walk now? Your husband is in the next room."
Rukia hurriedly pushes herself up and stumbles a bit, feeling dizzy at the sudden movement. But she brushes it off and follows the tan skinned woman. She finds her sliding the door of the next room and nods for her to come in. Peeking inside, Rukia finds Ichigo lying on the make shift bed, still unconscious. Urahara, Renji and Rangiku look at her and greets her. "Konichiwa, Rukia-chan."
A bit surprised to find out that it's already late in the afternoon, Rukia bows slightly and greets them back. "Konichiwa."
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine now. Thank you," she replies as she sits down next to her husband's bed, across the other three persons in the room. "Where are the others? Momo and Unohana-san, how are they?"
"They're alright; Rukia-chan. Unohana-san woke up this morning and decided to go back at their house with her daughter to rest. And Hitsugaya-kun went with them to assist Unohana-san. But before she go, she checked on Ichigo's conditions first. She said that he's fine now though he might be resting for a while."
"What about the rescued mates?"
"They were all gone back to their respective places. Some went to the city for awhile before they fly back to their countries. Though they want to wait till Ichigo's awake but Unohana-san said he'll be out for another day so..." Rangiku pauses and flashes her soft smile. "Everyone's pretty alright by now."
Rukia sighs softly. "I'm glad... Ichigo's hardwork paid off," she says, brushing the invisible dirt off her husband's cheek and smiling absently. The loving gesture doesn't go unnotice by the persons inside the room. They all have small smiles playing on their lips as they gaze at their leader's sweet young wife.
A comfortable silence fills the room until Urahara finally speaks. "So... Rukia-chan, do you remember what happened?"
Rukia turns her gaze at the man and nods. "Yes. Ichigo was possessed and the 'thing' tried to kill me. But then he suddenly bit me and I can't remember anything after that," Rukia narrates, skipping the embarrassing part where the possessed Ichigo tried to make his way on her.
"And after that, the barrier disappears and Ichigo passed out," Yuroichi says, leaning against the door. "Hmm, do you have any idea of the thing that possessed him?"
Rangiku shakes her head, while Renji knits his eyebrows. "Well, he was bitten by a hollow so it might be an effect or something. What do you think Urahara?"
The man in question tilts his hat down. "Yeah, I think so too."
"So, what'll happen to him now?"
"As Unohana-said, Kurosaki-san is fine now. When he was possessed, he still tried to fight the thing that wants to take control of his body until he decided to use his last resort," he pauses and turns at Rukia. "He bit you and drank your blood to fight the thing that possessed him. As his mate, your blood keeps his sanity. A mate's blood is the most powerful cure for a vampire's wound."
Rukia is amused and grateful about what Urahara said. She doesn't realize that she can save Ichigo that much and she is thankful for that.
"But," Urahara continues. "We still have to monitor him to make sure it won't happen again. So, I'm sorry to say Rukia-chan, but Kurosaki-san will have to stay here for awhile."
"What? No!" Rukia says.
"But you still have to go to school, Rukia-chan. And Karakura High is far from here."
"Then I'm not leaving without him. We'll go home together. I'll take care of him."
"But Rukia-chan-"
"I said no!" Rukia almost yelled but she controlled her emotions so as not to be disrespectful of the older people around her. She balls her hands into fists as she bites her lips to stop herself from crying. "You just said that my blood can save him."
"But as a human you have limitations, Rukia-chan. You can't give all your blood away. You'll die if that happens," Urahara says with a fatherly tone. Rukia frowns harder as tears stream down her cheeks. Urahara then places a hand on her shoulder. "Rukia-chan-"
"No!" Rukia says stubbornly. She rubs her tears roughly and pushes herself off the floor. "I don't care what happens to me! I'm taking care of my husband and no one's gonna tell me otherwise!" she says, her tone full of resolve and determination, stunning the older persons in the room. They are all speechless and are gawking at her for awhile before Urahara finally lets out a sigh.
"I think it's a much better idea, ne Yuroichi-san?"
The woman in question crosses her arms and smirks down at her husband. "Yeah, I think Ichigo likes it too," she says pointing at the hand of the still unconscious vampire. Everyone looks down at the said hand and catches it jerking a bit. Rukia smiles widely through her tears and bows at Urahara and Yuroichi, apologizing for her rudeness and thanking them for respecting her decision. Urahara, Yuroichi, Renji and Rangiku share glances before they all look at the young wife with a smile on their faces.
Now they know why Kurosaki Ichigo married this young girl.
...V...
"Matsumoto texted me, she said that they're taking Kusosaki and his wife back at their house," Toshiro says, closing his phone and leaning back against the wall.
Adjusting the blanket over her mother, Momo turns at him and smiles sadly. "I wish I could stay with Rukia. She needs a friend now more than ever."
"I could say the same to you."
"Huh?" Momo looks up at him with a curious expression.
"I-I said you should take care of Unohana-san first so you can go visit your friend," Toshiro says, turning away from her.
Momo smiles, "Are you here because you're worried about me?"
"Heh! I'm more worried about Unohana-san."
"So you're really worried about me!"
"What? I didn't-"
"You said you're 'more' worried about Mom so that also means that you're still worried about me too! Not as much as you worried about my Mom but you're still worried nevertheless!"
"Shut up. I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh how sweet of you!" Momo says dreamily, earning a low groan from the guy.
"Hmp! Whatever..."
...V...
Arriving at the small house, Rukia opens the front door and assists Renji, who's carrying his husband, towards the bed room. "Which room? His or yours?" Renji asks, making Rangiku to look at Rukia questionably.
"You mean you're sleeping separately?"
Rukia just blushes and nods at the busty woman before ushering Renji towards her room. "Here, lay him in my bed."
Renji places the orange haired guy on the bed carefully, stretching his back and neck. "Geez, he got so much heavier unlike before. He's too skinny and scrawny when we last saw each other but look at him now... You really feed him well, you know," he says, looking at Rukia who's fixing the pillows under her husband's head. "You're spoiling him," he adds.
Rukia giggles softly at that comment as she places her Chappie stuff toy next to Ichigo, unaware of the two sweat dropping vampires watching her. She then turns at the two and asks, "Are you hungry? I'll make dinner if you want."
"Sure," Renji quickly replies. "I prefer a spicy curry though."
"No problem!"
"Oh let me help you, Rukia-chan. I'm-"
"No way Rangiku! Just leave it to Rukia, you'll just ruin her- Aw! What the hell was that for?" Renji asks, rubbing a sore spot on his head.
"Just shut the hell up, pineapple head," Rangiku says before swaying her curvy hips around and walking out of the room.
After half an hour, the three sit around the dining table and eat their dinner courtesy of Rukia and Rangiku. Though the food tastes good, Renji still comments that it would be perfectly delicious if the busty female vampire didn't help at all. And with every rude comment, the red head receives a ruder assault from the busty female while Rukia giggles at their antics.
After accompanying her until 9 in the evening, Renji decides to head back to Urahara. They all agreed to take turns on accompanying Rukia every night, and Rangiku is the first on the schedule that night. After Renji left, Rukia offers Ichigo's bedroom to Rangiku since they don't have a guests' room. Rangiku accepts the arrangement and asks her, "What about you?"
"I'll...sleep beside him," Rukia murmurs shyly, blushing. Rangiku giggles but chooses not to tease her anymore. She then helps Rukia with the dishes.
"So how do you guys met?" Rangiku asks, wiping a plate before placing it back on the rack.
"Ahm, well, Ichigo...he kidnapped me when I was ten," Rukia says as she washes a plate before handing it to Rangiku.
"Really? Tsk, tsk, tsk...he sure doesn't have some manners," Rangiku giggles. "But how'd you end up getting married. I mean, you're just 10... How do your parents agree with it?"
"My father was outrageous when Ichigo brought me back home the next morning. And he was even more ecstatic and murderous when Ichigo said that he wants to marry me as soon as possible..." as Rukia continues, memories of that day flashes through her.
"What did you say, kozo?" Byakuya asked, standing outside the wide Kuchiki gardens. The Kuchiki servants surrounding them while in front of him stood the man who kidnapped his daughter last night.
"You're daughter is mine so I'll marry her and take her with me in-" Ichigo's arrogant voice was cut off as a sword swings an inch away from his nose.
"You'll have to walk over my dead corpse before you can lay another finger on my daughter," Byakuya said. His steel gray eyes shone with conviction and murderous intent as it narrowed at the orange haired vampire.
"Well, if that's what it takes then..." cracking his neck as if warming up, Ichigo smirked arrogantly as he too posed on his fighting stance. "Let's do this."
"Byakuya, stop this. Let's talk about this in a civilized manner okay?" Hisana said, holding their 10 year old sobbing baby daughter on her side.
Sniffing and rubbing her tears, Rukia suddenly pulled away from her mother's embrace and yelled, "Go Daddy! Beat that strawberry head!"
Ichigo shoot her a glare but Rukia stuck out her tongue at him with matching "Bleeeeeh!" sound, before hiding back on her mother's arms.
Ichigo scowled, "You'll gonna pay for that young girl. Just wait till I-umfh!" He was cut off once again as Byakuya threw a sword towards him, with its hilt hitting him in the face. "You bastard! That's dangerous!" he growled.
Byakuya ignored him and pulled out his own sword. "Kozo… Pick up the sword. I don't fight unarmed man."
"Tsh! I can take you down by my own hands," Ichigo insisted, hiding the fact the he's not used with handling swords yet.
"I'm a swordsman and that's my morale."
"Well, I'm a vampire and that's my morale."
"Tsh."
"Tsh."
"I won't hold back on you."
The two men said in unison before they narrowed their gazes at each other, sending sparks of electricity between their gazes. Everyone watched them with worried and anxious faces especially Hisana. And as the warm wind blew fast around them, whistling silently amidst the tension. And the moment it stopped, the two men moved their feet and charged towards each other.
"So Ichigo literally sparred with your father to ask for your hand for marriage?" Rangiku asks with amusement in her tone. "Wow! Ichigo must have been love struck at you that time. I never imagine him going those heights just to get a girl."
Rukia chuckles as she places the last plate on the rack before yawning softly. "He has the weirdest way of proposing."
"Typical Ichigo, brash and hard headed."
"Yeah...he's a brash and hard headed jerk," Rukia says before a yawn escapes her lips again.
Rangiku smiles at her and says, "But you love him anyways," making Rukia to pause mid-yawn. The young girl blushes and nods timidly, earning a light squeal and a pinch on the cheek from the busty female. "Kawaii~!"
...V...
By 10 o' clock in the evening, the two females finally decide to go to bed.
Now clad in her pajamas, Rukia enters her room quietly and her gaze finds her husband still 'sleeping' on her bed. She moves towards the bed and watches him for a moment. She kneels down on the floor and places her elbow on top of her bed. Clasping both hands together, Rukia closes her eyes and starts praying.
Peeking through the slightly open door, Rangiku smiles softly as she watches the young girl kissing her husband's forehead before lying down beside him. The girl pulls the cover up on their chest before wrapping an arm around the sleeping husband's shoulder while her other arm hugs her rabbit plushie. A loud yawn escapes the girl's lip as she mutters 'Goodnight, Ichigo.' before finally closing her eyes and falling asleep.
...V...
The next day is a Sunday so Rukia still has another day to stay in the house. Rangiku already left after breakfast that morning saying Renji will come by the afternoon to accompany her later that night. And as she stands in the small lawn in front of their humble home, Rukia looks up at the sky and heaves a sigh. She then turns at their house and nods in determination.
"Alright Rukia, it's time to do the house work!"
.
She starts the general cleaning by doing the dirty laundry and hang drying it. Then she proceeds with cleaning the kitchen, the shower room, Ichigo's room, her room and finally their small living room.
"There!" she says, adjusting the large portrait on the wall. She steps down from the chair and smiles brightly at her work. She pretty much gave their living room a little make over, adjusting the TV on the other side so that it's facing their dining table. In that case, she can watch her favorite TV shows while she eats.
Clever, isn't it?
Then she pushes the long couch against the wall to save space and finally...her most favorite part of their living room now is the portrait hanging on the wall across the long couch.
It's their well kept wedding portrait.
She's wearing a red yukata with a white feathery scarf on her shoulder. A piece of flowery clip tied up on a side of her hair. While Ichigo wears a blue kimono with a black coat. They're both smiling-no, grinning...they're both grinning widely while they hold up their fingers in a piece sign. Since it's their wedding, the elders allow Rukia to drink some special sake as part of the wedding ceremony. And so the two of them were pretty much drunk when that picture was taken.
Rukia huffs, smiling at the portrait.
She's been keeping that portrait ever since as much as they kept their relationship a secret. But Rukia could care less about what others might say about their marriage now. What's important is...they have each other. She'll grow older eventually and when that time comes, maybe they can now have a...
Pulling her hands away from her flat tummy, Rukia blushes and shakes her head furiously to rid of her future thoughts, though a smile remains on her face. She stretches her aching shoulder and spine before loud voices behind the front door snaps her from her trance of thoughts. She turns at the said door and jumps in surprise as it suddenly bursts open with a slam.
"We're here!" Red and blonde haired men stand in the doorway, pushing it each other to try to get inside first before the other. And as the blonde pulls down on the bandana of the red head on his eyes, he successfully enters the house first.
"Hello Rukia-chan! What's for dinner tonight?" Shinji asks, walking inside the house and plopping down on the couch like it's his own.
"You bastard! Did you come here just to eat dinner?" Renji growls at the guy. Fixing his bandana, Renji turns at the dumbfounded young girl. "Don't mind him Rukia... Anyway, how's Ichigo? Is he awake?"
The question about her husband snaps Rukia's attention. She sighs and shakes her head slowly before answering, "No. He's still sleeping."
"That idiot!" Shinji snaps, jumping up on his feet before heading towards the room where Ichigo lays unconscious. Rukia and Renji follow him, oblivious as to what the blond hair is planning. But their eyes widen in shock as Shinji unceremoniously sits on top of Ichigo and starts whacking the unconcious guy's face left and right.
"You reckless arrogant fuck head! Get your lazy ass off the bed and wake up already! C'mon! Don't be such a pussy! You're not sleeping beauty!"
"Shinji, you retard!" Renji growls then dives at the blond haired vampire, tackling him down to stop him from what he's doing.
Rukia gawks as the two big men wrestle on top of her unconscious husband. And when she sees a foot hitting her husband's nose, an angry nerve snaps on her head. "Get..."
She grabs a baseball bat from nowhere and whacks the wrestling duo as hard as she could.
"...YOUR ASSES OFF MY HUSBAND! YOU FREEEAAAAKKSS!"
"Nyaaaaaarrggh!" A lazy cat strolling on the sidewalk in front of the small house shrieks in surprise and runs frantically away as yelps, crashes and terrible noises shake the whole Kurosaki household.
"Oow...my head," Shinji groans while Renji rubs the sore spot on his back. Pushing themselves off the floor, the two men stiffen as Rukia holds the baseball bat in front of them.
"Behave! Or I'll whack both of you to death," Rukia says, giving the two older men the most horrifying sinister glare she takes up from her Kuchiki father. And seeing the two big men gulp in response, Rukia quickly flashes them a 'smile' before walking away.
"Holy shit! She's a cute little devil in disguise."
"Yeah..." Renji mumbles before he and Shinji slowly turn at each other with an amused look. "Isn't she hot?"
"Definitely."
"Then how come Ichigo found her first?"
Turning their heads at the bed like a robot, the two look at the sleeping guy with disbelief and jealousy.
"Renji?"
"Yeah?"
"I want a mate like her."
...V...
After eating dinner with the two equally wacky (and stupid) vampires, Rukia makes them do the dishes. The two obliges but settles the issue with a rock-paper-scissor game with Renji winning the childish duel. Rukia shakes her head lazily and decides to leave the two alone. She then heads inside her room where her husband...remains unconscious.
She sighs and stares at him longingly.
Wake up Ichigo... I need you here.
...V...
Five days pass and Ichigo hasn't waking up yet. His fellow vampires take turn on sleeping over their house every night to assist Rukia. Unohana even spared a visit earlier that day even if she's still regaining from her wounds just to check the sleeping vampire's condition. But she too can't do anything more than to give Rukia words of encouragement and asks her to be more patient. Momo also chanced a visit or two after school before going home to help her mother.
At first, Rukia plans on not attending school until Ichigo wakes up but Urahara and the others who serve as her temporary guardian insists her to go to school, offering their help in staying in their house while she's gone. Rukia obeys them half heartedly. She attends school physically but her mind wanders about her husband. Every time the day ends, Rukia hurries back to their house hoping and praying that she'll find Ichigo sitting on the couch, watching TV or reading his favorite book or even cooking a delicious dinner for the both of them. But her heart sinks every time she opens the door and finds no one there except Rangiku or Renji or Shinji or Hiyori or Hisagi or Urahara or any vampire other her orange haired one.
Yesterday she called her parents and she almost cried as she heard the loving voice of her father. She missed them not just because she's alone right now but because...well, she really did miss them. She misses her parents, she misses her hometown, she misses Momo, she misses everyone even her classmates and professors and above all she missed her sensei...
She misses Ichigo.
It's been exactly 5 days and 6 nights since they last talked. She miss his arrogant smirk, his gentle smile, his handsome scowl and everything about him...especially his sweet kisses. Hell, she even misses her perverted advances!
She just misses him like crazy.
Looking at his unconscious body like he's in a coma is worse than being away from him physically. The only thing that tells her that he's still alive is the slow rise and fall of his chest.
.V.
"Hi! How's school?" Hisagi greets her warmly as she enters the front door.
"Great," Rukia says, her tone hinting how her day turns exactly the opposite of what she said. But her day in school isn't exactly what makes her gloomy. It's because of the fact that a whole week has passed by but Ichigo hasn't waking up yet.
Smiling uneasily, Hisagi scratches the back of his neck. "Well, I-"
"Shuhei-kun..." Rukia cuts him off, hanging her head low tiredly to hide her face in the shadows of her bangs.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Can you..." she sighs. "Can you leave us for tonight? I want to be alone with him."
"But-"
"Please?" Rukia looks up at him with tired pleading eyes. "I'll call Urahara-san if anything happens."
Hisagi sighs in defeat. "Alright, if that's what you want." He grabs his coat and walks towards her. "But be sure to call us okay?" he says. Rukia nods and bows at him, muttering a 'Thank you' before ushering the male to the door. Once Hisagi left, Rukia makes her way towards her room with slow and tired footsteps.
"Hi," she greets the unconscious male with a wary smile. Moving towards the bed, Rukia plops down beside Ichigo's sleeping form and sighs. "School sucks... Every girl is talking about how they miss 'their' Kurosaki-sensei." She says, quoting the word 'their' before huffing weakly. "You know Sasha? The pretty cheerleader from Class 3-2... She pushed me out of her way earlier; I almost fell down the stairs." Rukia then starts removing her socks. "And that's not all; I got hit by a soccer ball in PE class this afternoon. Everyone laughed at me." She pouts and crosses her arms in front. "I don't want to go to school anymore. I'm dropping out." She pauses and stares at Ichigo's face as if waiting for him to react. "Did you hear me? I said I'm dropping out of school."
Sigh.
She pulls out a paper from her book bag and holds it in front of him. "Look! I've got a zero in my History seatwork today. But don't blame me...it's your fault, you idiot." She shoves the paper closer to his face and continues to talk with his sleeping form. "I can't concentrate in class cause my brain's too busy thinking about when you'll wake up. I can't understand a thing that our new substitute teacher says. I can't even move a muscle in our PE class and I can't do my Homework without you to tutor me!"
She crumples the paper, her body and lips begin to shake as tears roll down her cheeks. "Wake up, Ichigo..." She grabs her Chappy plushie and smacks it on his face. "I said wake up! Wake up, you fool! Wake uuuuupp..!"
She tosses her doll away as she plops down on top of her husband's chest and wails.
Yes, she wails loudly...like a 5-year-old kid that just loses her favorite pet.
"P-Please wake u-up...I mi-miss you, Ichi-Ichigo. I r-really miss-miss you..." She wraps her arms around his neck and buries his face on his shoulders, still sobbing and wailing helplessly.
The rain starts to fall outside with audible thunders and lightning. Street lamps and house lights flickers on as the twilight came with the soft pitter patter of the rain making her cries calmer until tiredness consumes her and Rukia finally falls asleep...missing the jerking of her husband's hand.
The rain starts pouring heavily from outside. The huge droplets pound noisily on the rooftop, waking the petite girl from her peaceful sleep. Rukia stirs and pats the space beside her but finds it empty. Forcing her eyes to open, Rukia turns at the empty side and quickly pushes herself up.
"Ichigo?" she groans, voice still rasp and groggy. Scanning her dark room, Rukia turns at her bedside clock and finds that its just 3 o'clock in the morning. "Ichigo...where are you?" Pushing the covers away, Rukia crawls out of bed and steps towards her door. "Ichigo..?"
She pokes her head out from the door and is greeted by silence amd darkness as all the lights in their living room are out. But she ignores the darkness and walks towards her husband's room, calling at the door again and finally receiving a response coming from inside.
Excitement floods through her as she hears his voice. She bursts the door open and quickly searches for him. Joy and relief envelopes her as she finds Ichigo sitting on his bed...facing the window with his back onto her.
"Ichigo! Thank God you're awake!" Rukia runs towards him but as she's about to hug him, Ichigo suddenly disappears from the bed.
"He's perfect, isn't he?"
Rukia spins around and finds Ichigo standing on the door holding and looking at the bundle in his arms. "Ichigo..."
"He has your hair, but his eyes are mine."
"Wha-"
"Do you want to hold him?"
Furrowing her brows in utter confusion, Rukia takes a step towards him. "Hold who? Ichigo, what are you talking about?"
"Our baby, do you want to hold our baby, Rukia?"
"What-"
"C'mon..." Ichigo steps towards her, holding out the bundle towards her. "Hold our baby, Rukia. Look at his eyes."
"I...Ichigo-"
As Ichigo steps closer, Rukia steps back until the back of her knees hit the bed. "Don't be shy, Rukia. He's your baby too." Rukia tries to look at his husband's face but the darkness of the room hide it from her. Only the glow from the street lamp outside crawls from the window gives it a faint light for her to be able to see his form. Still confused, Rukia looks down at the small bundle and takes it from him hesitantly. "Yes, that's right. Look at him," he says, as he is now standing and whispering behind her. The tone of his voice sends shivers down her spine and makes her shudder...in fear?
"C'mon Rukia... Look at our baby," he urges, his lips moving closer to her ear. "He has my eyes," he adds. And with that, Rukia slowly and carefully lifts the cloth that's covering the baby's face and her eyes widen upon seeing a horrible looking...
"Isn't he lovely..."
...Goblin.
"Ne, Queen?"
"AAAAAAHHH..."
"…AAAAHH!" Rukia jolts upright from the bed with a loud shriek, jumping in surprise at the loud thunder and lightning outside. She pulls her knees against her chest and covers her ears with both hands, crying.
The rain slightly calm down but shocks of lightning erupts from the background. Hugging her knees tighter against her chest with her face buried on top of it, Rukia sobs silently after waking up from that bad dream. She glances down at the bed and finds her husband still lying half dead beside her. She turns away from him and continues to cry...she feels so alone, helpless and very scared. She wants to hug her Dad and feel the comfort of his fatherly embrace. She wants to see her Mom and her warm motherly smile. And she wants to hear Ichigo's voice telling that everything's alright. But they're not here...all of them. There's no one there...except her.
"Are you alright?"
Rukia stiffens as she hears a deep voice inside the room. She snaps at the window the same time a lightning strikes, and finds a silhouette of a man standing there.
"W-Who-"
"It's me..." The figure steps towards the bed and pulls the switch of the bedside lamp. "Kaien..." Rukia's eyes widen but she doesn't say something so Kaien continues. "I'm sorry, did I scare you Rukia-chan?"
Recovering from her surprise, Rukia shakes her head and wipes her tears off her face. "No, it's alright Sir. I'm just... I didn't know you're here." Rukia looks down her lap and realizes that she's still wearing her school uniform. She sighs.
"Call me Kaien. You look so tired," Kaien says, turning at the sleeping vampire. "It must be really hard for you...to see him like this."
Still staring at her lap, Rukia bites her lip as tears begin forming on her eyes again. "I just... I miss him."
"Do you want him back?" Rukia snaps her gaze towards the raven haired man and finds him staring deeply into her eyes. "Do you want me to save him, Rukia-chan?"
Her eyes widen at the question but she quickly nods her head without second thoughts. "Yes, please...please wake him up. Save him Kaien-sama."
Kaien smiles and walks towards her with slow heavy steps. "Well then...what would you give me in return?"
"Huh?"
"Vampires, wolves and hollows share one rule in common, Rukia-chan. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I can save your husband...but you have to give me something in return."
Rukia gulps. "But I'm just a human...an ordinary high school student. What can I give you?"
"One bite."
"...?"
"I just want a taste...of your blood, Rukia-chan?"
"My blood?"
"Don't worry, Rukia-chan I promise..." He steps closer to her and gives her a small smile. "I won't hurt you."
As if being hypnotize, Rukia stands up from the bed, her eyes not leaving Kaien's shadowed face. "Are you ready... Rukia?" She nods still staring up at him. Kaien's smile falters as he snakes a hand behind Rukia's neck while his other hand yanks the collar of her blouse, exposing the pale skin of her neck. He runs his fingers against the young girl's neck, savouring the feeling of her warm unblemished skin against his own. He then narrows his eyes as he slowly leans his head down. Her delicious scent quickly soothing his vampire senses, making him starts to lose control.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asks, voice low and husky with his lips ghosting sensually along her neck.
"Yes. Please..." Rukia replies softly, eyes half lidded and sleepy. "...please do it."
Kaien's eyes glow bloody red as he looks at Kurosaki Ichigo and smirks in victory. "As you wish."
He yanks Rukia's head upward and finally digs his fangs on her soft flesh.

The rain will eventually turn into storm.

"Wake up..."
He places a soft kiss on her close eyelids, drags his lips down her nose then moves down to capture her lips on his own.
"Mmm..." Rukia moans and stirs a bit but doesn't rouse from her sleep.
"Wake up baby..." He says huskily, trailing slow and gentle kisses on her cheeks, along her jaw line and up to her ears. He bites one of her earlobes and quickly smirks as he receives a groan from the sleeping beauty. Rukia grunts and tries to shift on her side but fails as an unidentified massive object lies on top of her. Too tired to open her eyes, she just lets out an irritated groan and manages to push the weight off her before flipping on her stomach and continues her slumber. But as she's falling back to sleep, she feels the massive weight on her back again and a wet hot flesh slowly trailing along her exposed shoulder.
"C'mon baby, wake up..." He whispers, yanking the sleeve of her pajama blouse and placing slow open mouth kisses along her shoulders. He smiles as he feels her shiver unconsciously from his kisses but she still doesn't rouse.
Seriously, she sleeps like...a cooking oil!
He sighs and decides to use his rough method of waking her.
Shake her.
"Rukia...c'mon, it's time to wake up!"
"Hmm...Go away!" She shoves his hands away and buries her face deeper on her pillow before snoring again. He groans under his breath, mumbling about lazy high school teenagers and their sleep deprives hormones. But he won't give up; he still has the best and most effective way to wake the beautiful sleeping princess. All he has to do is lean down and whisper the magic line on her ear. "Wake up Rukia or I'll..."
.
Big violet eyes snap open after the mention of the word 'Chappy' and 'Kill' and thin eye brows quickly set into a deep angry scowl. "Don't you dare touch my-"
Her voice is caught on her throat and she feels like her heart jumps out of her gaping mouth at the sight of his fiery orange hair, his warm honey amber orbs and his all too familiar arrogant smirk.
"I-Ichigo..."
