Author's Note: Inspiration sprung up when I was doing my California Standardized testing today. I had been drawing while I was bored, which consisted a drawing of bunnies chopping carrots. That's right. Anyways, back to the point.
It's a quick thing. Just to let you guys know that I'm not dead.
And I have to update anyways, XBlueSkyX pushed me to update, after she updated. ._. I'm so late.
Its Spring Break everybody! :D YEAH.
Rukia had to use her teeth to clamp hard on her own lip. It took her all of her own will not to smile at the scene.
To see Orihime on her knees, with a frightened look on her face, it amused Rukia.
Rukia acted angry, and calm, but instead, she just wanted to smile.
"This isn't right! Why is he here?" Orihime asked as Sora looked at the ground, he was kneeling in front of Rukia and Ichigo. Orihime had sat besides Sora and talked to him.
Rukia looked sternly at the siblings and sat down in the chair that was brought in for Ichigo and herself.
"Sora Inoue has been placed under arrest for trying to kill me." Rukia said in a calm voice as Orihime looked up at her in anger.
"You're accusing him? How dare you?" Orihime screeched and Rukia folded her arms discreetly in her robes.
"I'm not accusing him, I know he did it." Rukia stated as Ichigo, who was standing bent down to grab Sora by his kimono and snarled.
"Why the hell did you do this? We saved you, Rukia saved you, and this is how you repay us? You're lucky that I don't kill you here and now. Better yet, that sounds like a good idea right about now." Ichigo snarled and Rukia gripped Ichigo's wrist with her delicate fingers.
He looked at her and tugged on his wrist.
"Let me go Rukia! He needs to be punished, no one touches you." Ichigo growled, and Sora looked frightened. Rukia discreetly looked at Orihime, who was fuming.
"Let go Ichigo, we can handle this situation calmly." Rukia said as Ichigo loosened his grip on Sora and Sora fell to the ground again and stepped back.
Orihime was angry. She was angry, not because her brother was in shackles, but because, she was angry that Ichigo was coming to Rukia's defense in the situation. Ichigo wasn't even concerned about her.
'That bitch! She's just using Sora as a way for her to steal him from me! I won't let this happen!'
"Sora didn't do it! And I know he wouldn't! Why are you accusing him? You're heartless!" Orihime yelled as she pointed a finger at Rukia and Rukia sighed as she arched a brow at Orihime.
"Okay then Orihime, if it wasn't him, who is it then?" Rukia felt like smirking, but she held it in as Orihime widened her eyes.
It had become silent, and Ichigo stared at Orihime in anger.
"If you know who it is Orihime, say something." Ichigo said in a stern voice and Orihime widened her eyes.
"I, I…" Orihime started and Ichigo raised a brow, his scowl becoming more permanent in his mood.
"Orihime, please, tell me!" Ichigo pleaded and Orihime looked at him, then at Rukia who was staring at Orihime and Sora. Orihime felt anger well and push its way to her brain.
"I don't know." Orihime stated in a monotone voice as she got up, Sora looked up at her and widened his eyes.
"Orihime, don't lie!" Sora shouted and Orihime widened her eyes.
"You do know who it is, I know you do!" Sora shouted and Orihime fought away the tears.
Ichigo was more important to her, even than her own brother, she wanted to keep Ichigo by her side, and be the one he called her queen. Ichigo and Rukia stared at her.
"Orihime, if you don't tell us who might have tried to kill me, then I have permission to execute your brother, and prison you for withholding information." Rukia stated and Orihime stared blankly at Sora and looked back with intensive eyes at Rukia.
"I'm sorry Rukia-Sama, my brother is lying, and I really don't know who would try to poison you." Orihime blankly said and Rukia kept her composure while Sora was gaping at Orihime.
Ichigo looked at Sora and snarled.
"You're lucky that you don't get death as your punishment." Ichigo snarled. Rukia pursed her lips and turned to a guard.
"Take him back into the jail cells; he'll stay there until we decide a proper punishment." Rukia said as the guard nodded and took Sora away. Rukia looked at Orihime while Ichigo left the room in a flurry and Orihime glared at Rukia.
Rukia arched a brow and began walking away as Orihime stared, Rukia smiled discreetly.
Next day:
Rukia watched as Ichigo began to throw things around his office while she brought him his morning tea. She took a sip of it and watched him. He stopped and stared at her.
"You're just going to send him into exile? Not even a death sentence?" Ichigo screeched and Rukia looked away as she took a sip of her tea.
"That's the punishment that I've decided, the man doesn't deserve to die." Rukia calmly said as Ichigo sat down across from her and took a sip of his tea.
"Still, that's outrageous Rukia, that's unacceptable." Ichigo growled and Rukia gently put a hand on his and Ichigo was shocked by her cool touch, her touch tingled his skin a little bit.
He looked up at her to see Rukia smile softly at him.
"I know what I'm doing, don't you trust me?" Rukia asked softly and Ichigo took a sip of his tea and looked at her.
"I do, just, sometimes, I worry that I can't keep you safe anymore." Ichigo said as he squeezed her hand and Rukia smiled as they gripped each other's hand in comfort.
An hour later:
Rukia was at the prison blocks, Sora had packed his stuff and Rukia slipped him a piece of paper.
The guards were watching Rukia and Sora just to make sure Sora wouldn't do anything to her.
Rukia sternly looked at him and glared at him.
"Sora Inoue, your punishment is exile, go on and leave." Rukia said as she whisked herself away and Sora began walking.
Sora read the piece of paper after he was out of sight from the guards that led him outside of the Kurosaki estate.
On the piece of paper he smiled gently as he quietly thanked Rukia for giving him directions to a small housing that was just outside of the Kurosaki land.
Author's note: I'm super sorry this is short! But, I really wanted to update before I got shipped off to my aunt's house tomorrow. I'm staying there for the rest of break so I probably can't update after that.
Alright, so the plot thickens? OH YEAH. I feel like busting out into a song right now, which would be VERY embarrassing.
Anywhoos, see what I did there? I made the two of them have a sweet moment :D Have a nice day!
