-A Place Belonging To Us-
"Nurse Kuchiki... Kiyomi suffered from a tramic concussion... She won't be awake for awhile..."
Rukia sits next to Kiyomi in the pediatric ICU... She sits there with her head nestled on the side of the bed, holding on Kiyomi's hand as she mumbles, "Remember the time when we first met? You were so small and cute... I remember the first time you called me nee-chan... When I promised you I wouldn't leave you and you promised me you wouldn't leave me..."
It's because we won't leave each other right? We'll stick together like family..."
Tears fell down Rukia's cheeks. the empty void Kiyomi filled returned. Kiyomi was the one that brought happiness and joy... The one that loved Rukia unconditionally. The one that calls Rukia nee-chan.
"Rukia-san?" Yuzu slowly enters the room with wet eye lids while Ichigo stands outside.. He couldn't face Rukia.. Not when she's crying, hence the postcard.
"Yes?" Rukia mumbles with her head firmly nestled on the side of the bed.
"I just wanted to say I was sorry... Karin and Kiyomi were defending me from a bully in the hallway and ended up falling down the stairs... I'm so-"
"It's okay..." Rukia softly sniffled, "Kiyomi would've been angry with me if I stayed angry with you and blamed you..."
Yuzu looks at Rukia teary eyed, "Can I see Kiyomi?"
Rukia lets out a big breath as she straightens herself out and moves aside sniffling, she sports a smile, "Sure, go ahead..."
One who smiles rather than rages is always the stronger
Rukia looks over Yuzu, "How's Karin-chan do-"
"She's doing fine.. she'll be out in a few days..." Ichigo hesitantly enters the room, "What about you? Are you going to be okay?"
"I'm okay... I'm just going to stay be Kiyomi for awhile..."
"Rukia... If you need anything... Anything at all... Call me.. Just call me okay?"
-A Cup of Coffee-
"Nurse Kuchiki..." Ayame knocked on the door before entering, "There is someone waiting for you in the lobby..."
"Is that person a male?"
"No, a female..."
Rukia lets out a huff as looks at her cellphone and walks to the lobby thinking, It's probably Ukyo... Seeing that I haven't called her ba-
"Rukia-san?"
"Eh?" Rukia looks up and sees Orihime smiling uneasily, "Can we go get a cup of coffee... I want to talk to you about something..."
"Rukia-san..."Orihime looks down at her cofee as she cups her hands around it, "There's something I want to tell you..."
"Huh?" Rukia slightly tilts her head, "What is it?"
"It's about Ichigo... Orihime bit her lip, "He's been talking about his pasrt a lot recently.. and you're part of the past..."
So I'm just a memory?
Rukia held back her tongue as she sweetly replied, "Well, I did love Ichigo before you.."
Orihime tightens her hold onto her coffee cup, "Ever since the day we met at the beach, Ichigo been talking about what you guys use to do and how much fun it was. When I suggest we should try what you two did out, he tell me it wouldn't be the same... So, what I'm trying to tell you is..."Orihime stuttered slightly, "Stay away from Ichigo... He's the best thing that has ever happened to me..."
So you trying to replace me.
Fail.
You seem like you're threatening me...
Double fail.
"I'm sorry, but I have rounds to do... It was nice talking to you..." Rukai gets up as she slinks away back into the pediatrics ICU division.
-Just Forget-
"Momo?" Rukia quietly enters Kiyomi's room, "How is Kiyomi coming along?"
"She's coming along great Nurse Kuchiki."
"Good.." Rukia walks towards Kiyomi's bedside, "When ever Kiyomi makes a sudden move, call for-"
"RUKIA!" Ichigo barges into Kiymoi's room infuriated, "What the hell did you do to ORIHIME!"
Momo hides in the corner shaking as Rukia calmky faces Ichigo, "First off, this is the pediactrins ICU division... We do not appreciate that cynical volume... Sec-"
"Nurse Kuchiki!" Ayane bustles in behind Ichigo, "I'm sooo sorry! I tried to-"
"Everyone get out right now! Rukia!" Ichigo's eyes darted at Rukia, "You, I want to talk to you in private..."
Momo and Ayame quickly slink out of the room as they looked at Rukia worried. Though Ruki seems calmed and collected... After all, Rukia is the head nurse and they are trained to keep their composure.
"What did you do to Orihime?"
Ichigo was angry..Rukia knows from the looks of his burning eyes... He loves Orihime.. Just like he loves Rukia...
"I just spoke to her... She wanted me to stay away from you because she felt threatened."
Ichigo scoffs as he folds his arms accross his chest, "Why was she crying to me? Telling me you're the one that beat her up for stealing me away from you?"
Rukai eyes widen, "WHAT!" Rukia clenches her fists as tears well up, "I do not need you to make me feel validated, loved for, cared for, or just to feel human."
Ichigo rolls his eyes as he mumbles, "That's probably where Kiyomi gets her fighting-"
Rukia turned red. No one. NO ONE talks about Kiyomi like that. NO ONE.
"Ichigo..." Rukia calmly mumbled, "Please get out of Kiyomi's room... You are not welcomed here..."
"Stay away from Orihime, Karin, Yuzu and me... I don't want to see your face ever again..."
-Somewhere-
"Nurse Kuchiki, if he ever reports you to Yamamotot Chief of Medicine, we'll vouch for you!"
"Yeah!" Momo chimes, "Ayame and I will vouch for you and we'll get your patients to vouch for you too!"
Ayame nods as she looks at Rukia, "Please, take come time to relax... Momo and I will take care of Kiyomi-chan... We promise to call you when she wakes up..."
Orihime is such a bitch...
So I figured out how I want this to play out...
And yes, I've been watching too much Korean dramas and Chinese dramas...
