Why'd you say it?

Rukia sat outside the sixth division's headquarters. Her head resting against the railing. The door opened and she turned around to see how came out. "Rukia, get off the floor." a low voice said. She did as she was told. "Nii-sama are you ready to go home?" She asked. He nodded and headed down the stairs. She felt the urge to look over her shoulder and found Renji looking down at her.

"Nii-sama, do you mind if I take my time going home?" he looked at her, "Do as you wish." She smiled and headed back up the stairs. 'Oy, Renji.' She said standing next to him. "Rukia, why aren't you going home with Taichou?" she shrugged her shoulders, 'Well we haven't talked much in a long time so, I thought I'd stay."

A faint smile grew on his lips, 'So Rukia, what did you want to talk about?" She looked off at the buildings, 'don't know. Well I have to thank you for helping in saving me. You didn't have to do that." he faced her, 'Rukia, I'd do anything for you. We've been together for ever. Why wouldn't I?" She faced him, her eyes low. "I knew you were going to say that." She said with a smirk.

"Well then why did you say what you said?" he lowered his face, she raised her eyes and chin. "Because I thought I had to say it. Do you have a problem with that?" He growled at her and picked her up, "You know being small is not a very good thing for you." She smiled and swung her leg, her foot connected to his knee and he fell.

"No I think it works. People with big ego's like yours drop your guard around me." She said with her hands on her hips. He looked up at her, god did he love that smile. She looked down at him, god did she love him.
