His And Her Relationship

Chapter 10: She Came Back… Wait, Who The Hell Is THAT?!

For the first time in so many years, he whistled. Chad, as usual, just stared at him in silent. Ishida pretended he didn't hear anything, while Mizuiro's and Keigo's jaw had broken the world record by rolling down to the floor. Not that Ichigo care.

The boy in question, Ichigo Kurosaki, was stuffing his books back to his bag before flung it as usual to his shoulder. The one thing he could restrain himself from doing was hopping in tune with his whistle.

Before any of his friends had the chance to offer a smart comment on his sudden transformation, he stormed out of the class, and away from school. As he walked along the river banks back to his house, he flipped his phone open and rolled down to the last message he received.

I'm coming home tomorrow. Thank god it is finally over. Karakura, I'm back!!!

He pressed the reply button and his thumb hopped on the keypad as he typed.

Can't wait.

A few minutes later, the reply came ringing to his phone.

Me too. I'm packing my stuff now. I never thought I have this many things. I think I need a truck to move all this, it's a shame to throw this all away.

Need a hand? I can take the bus to Tokyo right now, you know.

Ha ha ha. Yes, thank you. I'd love that. But wait, on a second thought, you don't have to. I don't wanna have to look around Tokyo for you if you get lost.

Hmm, I guess you're right. Then have a fun packing, midget.

Hey, I thought we already agreed on the midget thing, dandelion head.

You agreed on it. I never said anything. Besides, it suits you just fine.

What ever. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, and I have someone to introduce to you.

He frowned at his phone. Introduce to him? But he shrugged his thoughts off as he reached his house. The most important thing was that Rukia was coming home tomorrow, and this time he will make sure that it was forever.

And as he predicted, he couldn't sleep even for a blink that night. He was anxious waiting for morning to come. At the first sign of light, he sprang from his bed and went to the bathroom. He felt a little foolish for dressing up. He even wore cologne! And for the first time in his teenage life, he felt like he was getting ready for a date.

After he finished, he flipped his phone and began typing.

When are you gonna come?

His phone buzzed as the reply arrived.

Relax. I'm halfway there.

With a grin, he rushed down and found that his two sisters had prepared themselves along with a delicious looking breakfast. The bearded doctor was already in his clinic. And after a few minutes of sitting on the couch, Ichigo felt like he was grew impatient and began pacing the living room. That, obviously, upset Karin so she kicked him out of the house.

So, there he was, sprawling on the lawn as he waited impatiently for the taxi to bring his Rukia back.

He nearly fell asleep on the lawn when the supposed taxi didn't arrive for the next half an hour. But he sat up as a car stopped in front of the Kuchiki house. An unknown car to Ichigo. He knew Byakuya's car, and it was still sitting on the carport.

Maybe a guest, he shrugged and almost lying back on the lawn when he saw someone came out of the driver seat. A tall man with a spiky black hair. He turned to the passenger door and held it open to allow the person inside to come out.

Ichigo couldn't help but staring as a pair of feet appeared one after another from the car before slowly a jet-black hair along with a familiar violet eyes followed suit. She smiled at the man in a way Ichigo had never seen her smiled before. And to top it off, the man reached out and cupped her cheek in his palm as he brushed his thumb along her cheek bone.

And Ichigo Kurosaki, just a few months after his 17th birthday, felt the burning sensation of jealousy for the first time in his life.
