I- Into You

"Come back you stupid Midget! I'm not done with you!" chasing down Rukia, Ichigo attempts to catch up with the small girl who was running down the hill. Taking a few more strides, Ichigo was able to catch up with Rukia in no time. Tackling her down to the ground, Ichigo held Rukia to the ground. Grabbing both her wrists into one hand, Ichigo kept her arms abover her head. His knees kept Rukia's legs together also. Rukia was trapped as Ichigo held her down on the ground. "Let me go fool! I don't want to deal with this right now. Just stop!" Struggling a few more minutes, Rukia slowly got tired of moving and just closed her eyes. Ichigo believed that Rukia was down having her small meltdown, so he began to talk to her. "Just listen to me midget."

It's not a walk in the park
to love each other.
But when our fingers interlock,
Can't deny, can't deny you're worth it.

Looking down at this girl, Ichigo could feel the love course through his body as other emotions swell up. Stroking her face with his left hand, Ichigo tries to calm Rukia down as he begins to explain what is going on in his mind. "I know you are upset Ru, but please let me do this. I know going into the military seems a little out there, but I need to serve. I can't run away from it forever. I will come back to you, I promise." Interlocking his fingers with hers, Ichigo smiles at her as she finally looks at him with her violet eyes. 'I'm going to miss you a lot, Rukia.' Picking Rukia up by the waist, Ichigo holds her in a tight embrace. "Let's go home. I want to spend the rest of the night with you before I leave." Walking back to his house, Rukia and Ichigo stayed calm and did not fight at all the rest of the night.

Standing at the airport was one of the hardest moment anyone had to go through that day. Many cried as they watched their loved ones board the plane. Yuzu and Karin were part of the many who had a hard time watching their brother leave. Isshin of course was crying along with them and the small picture of their late mother with them. Rukia stayed silent the whole time, not letting a tear escape. She couldn't cry, not in front of Ichigo or his family. She had to stay strong and not show her weakness. Tightening her hold on the twin's hands, Rukia looks out one last time before leaving. Looking at her small necklace, Rukia smiles down knowing what was happening was right. 'You better come back Ichigo, we will all be waiting. I'll be ready for when you come back.'

Walking through the aisle of seats, Ichigo finds a seat in the back of the plane. Settling into his seat, Ichigo pulls his belongings out of his pocket. Looking through, he finds a picture. The picture brings back warm emotions that flood through Ichigo's body. He treasures this picture, even though he doesn't know how this picture got to him. In the picture was of him and Rukia sleeping at the campgrounds last summer with all their friends. It was on top of the hill with the sunset right behind them. The sun shined around them as it was about to set, giving the picture a warm glow that radiated off the print. Holding the picture for a little longer, Ichigo set it into his wallet for safe keeping. The next item he grabbed was a small box. Opening the box, Ichigo looks at the diamond ring that sits in it. Holding the ring up into the light, he looks all around the small ring that would fit perfectly around Rukia's petite finger. Ichigo believed that it will be perfect when he gets back to propose to her. He has known Rukia practically his whole life and wanted to know her for the rest of his life. 'Better be prepared midget, we will be spending the rest of life with each other.' smirking at the thought, Ichigo puts the ring back into his pocket.

(Two years later, Karakura Town)

Standing under a cherry blossom tree, Rukia is reading a book as she is supposed to be taking care of Yuzu and Karing while they are at the park. It's been two months since the Winter War has ended, thankfully Japan was victorious in the war. It was one of the longest wars for Japan to be in. Many casualities were brought up through Karakura Town. Rukia has been to many funerals in the past year for all the soldiers who could not make it through the war. Each funeral was hard to attend, but there were several that became most difficult. Rukia remembers clearly the funeral of Toshiro Hitsuguya. That one was not only hard for her, but also devastating for Karin. Karin was closest to the cold guy. When Karin heard the news, she locked herself in her room. Rukia had quite a challenge to get her out. It was a terrible month for Karin, and she still feels the burden of the tragedy in her heart everyday. But as the next few months passed, Karin decided to come back and express her feelings to Rukia. Their bond became more strong from his death. Now all they waited for was Ichigo to come back home.

Closing her book, Rukia looks out into space as she stands under the tree. Above her the tree moves slightly, but it doesn't catch her attention. She sees a few cherry blossoms fall down from the tree and tries to catch them. One by one, she catches many flowers and is about to walk forward to catch one more until something fell out of the tree. In front of her, she sees honey brown eyes and a big smile from a face. Hanging from the tree is Ichigo Kurosaki.

I should be over all the butterflies
but I'm into you.

Staring with wide eyes and her mouth opened, Rukia doesn't know what to think except to follow her extinct. Pulling her arm back, she punches Ichigo right in the face. Falling out of the tree, Ichigo lands on the ground painfully. "What the hell midget?! I leave for two years and that's all I get?" Sitting up, Ichigo rubs his nose trying to ease the pain. Staring up to Rukia, he sees how much she has changed over two years. Her hair grew back down to shoulder length and the stubborn bang was still in the middle. Rukia still had the bright violet eyes and super short height. Standing back up, Ichigo pulls her into a tight hug. Wrapping her arms around his waist, Rukia closes her eyes shut as she stands there silently. Soon she can feel the tears slowly coming out of her eyes. "Fool, you don't know how much I was worried about you. I-I'm glad you are back." Stepping back, Ichigo gently puts his hand on her cheek. Staring deeply into her eyes, Ichigo moves into close proximity of her face. Softly placing his lips onto hers, Ichigo finally kisses the girl he hasn't seen in two years. Two years he has been waiting, waiting to kiss those soft lips of his girlfriend. Falling deeper into his hold, Rukia feels the love rush through her all again in that one kiss. Feeling slightly disappointed when he moves away, Rukia frowns at him.

Confidence flows through Ichigo's body as he prepares himself for something he has waited to do. Settling down on one knee, Ichigo pulls out the ring. "Rukia, Iwashopingyouwouldmarrymesoaccepttheringdamnit." Ichigo feels his neck burn up as he realises that he rushed through all his words and begins to feel like a complete idiot. Laughing at his attempt, Rukia tackles Ichigo to the ground. Sitting on top of his stomach, Rukia smiles down and whispers into his ear. "I'll marry you fool."
