Previous Chapter

All of a sudden the whole aquarium blacked out, a loud squeak could be heard and came the sound of rushing water

"What the hell just happened?" the girl said to herself.

Her feet having a mind of its own started to run from unknown fear in the dark. Cracking of glass could be heard from a distance behind, the sound of rushing of water getting louder and louder every strive she takes. Her heart banged against her chest, her legs too scare to stop to aloud her a second to think. She could feel her feet going up on a slope, her eyes spotted the green and white exit door sign on her right side and she quickly leaped behind the exit wooden doors and shut it close.

She took a big step back and leaned against the wall, inhaling deeply to catch her breath back. The water outside roared, consuming everything in its way. The transparent liquid slowly spread itself through the gap between the wooden door and the stony floor, invading the trapped space the girl's in. Her eyes frantically trailed up and down at the staircase next to the wall.

"I've got to think fast. Go up or go down the stairs."

"If I go down…No. The water is probably rushing down to the ground floor… I can't go down to the ground floor exit."

"And…and if I go up…to the rooftop… I can wait for someone to rescue me."

Her hands pushed her body weight off the wall and headed up the stairs.

"Come on Rukia… you can do this…"

The rooftop door came into view, getting closer and closer each step she takes. Finally reaching to the last step of the staircase, her body bashed into the door but it would not budge open. She was just about to slam into the door once again and it swung wide open for her. The sunray beamed down on her, aching her eyes. Slowly adjusting to the light, she saw four familiar faces.

"Rukia! You scare the shit out of us!"

"Oh thank god! I'm so glad you're safe! Thanks to Ishida-kun. He thought you might try to escape from the rooftop and he called for a helicopter to help."

"And don't forget Sado who got the key to unlock the rooftop door Inoue."

"It was nothing. Ishida."

The girl stared at her friends, her sight beginning to blend by the water in her eyes.

"You guys…thank you. I… I…" the raven hair girl tried her best to hold back her tears.

The ginger hair girl embraced her friend into a tight hug, "It's alright." Patting her on the back to soothe her. "You're safe. Let's leave here quickly now." And together, the four of them headed towards the helicopter waiting patiently. Her friends helped her to get inside the buzzing mechanism, taking slow steps at a time. She looked at the seats in the helicopter and spotted a figure covered with a blanket at the very back seat. She walked closer and bended down her knees, knowing who's under that blanket. Her hand gently pulls down the fabric, reviewing his orange hair, his right hand covering his eyes and forehead.

Her tears started to flow, not a second of hesitation and she hugged him. They did not say a word to each other, all she needs to know is he's still by her side. Not knowing that Ichigo was the cause of all this.

Yea! Rukia's safe. Mmm… I wonder how Ichigo feels now… seeing Rukia alive and he was the one who tried to hurt her. Is he gonna hurt her again? Ooo…

I'm sorry this was a short chapter. I'm trying to write longer chapters now and it will take some time. Please be patient :) Don't forget, Review and Review!
