A/N: Rukia is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! She's back and she's a VC! I don't even know who can bother reading this drabble when RUKIA is BACK! Oh how we missed our Ray of Light :'D
Thanks to everyone who reviewed! (Holy sh*t! We're almost at 100 reviews...Did not expect so much for this xD)
Insecure:
Ichigo glanced sideways at the petite raven-head and his eyebrows subtly knit closer together. "Rukia," he paused for a moment, and seeing that he got no response he tried again. "Oi, Rukia,"
"Hmm?" she answered vaguely, not looking up or stopping the fidgeting of her hands.
His frown deepened. "You're being weirder than usual."
What's the matter?
Rukia didn't answer and her gaze became momentarily transfixed on the figures cloaked in white a few yards away, appearing and disappearing from sight with amazing speed and clanging swords together with impressive force.
Any minute they would call the Kuchiki heir for her turn to be tested.
Ichigo saw her violet eyes linger for a moment before her gaze fell once more to her lap. With a subtle gesture, Ichigo moved his hand and placed it gently over hers, earning a surprised gasp. He didn't turn to meet her eyes as he spoke nonchalantly. "You're always worrying about nothing. Ché."
You have nothing to worry about.
Rukia turned away to hide the small smile that appeared on her face. "Who said I was worried, idiot?"
I'm feeling better now.
Ichigo smirked before they both heard the booming voice call out: "Kuchiki Rukia, step forward."
She started to stand, and Ichigo gave her hand one final squeeze before letting her go. "See ya' in a few."
I'll be right here for you.
