Chapter Fourteen : Rukia's Troubled Past

Rukia woke up and yawned without opening her eyes just to learn she couldn't move anything below her stomach. She opened her eyes and saw Edward's head on her stomach and one of his arms gripping her wrist with half of himself hanging off the bed. She sat up on her elbows and looked at him. "Hey! Edward! Wake up" He opened one of his eyes and shook his head lightly, turning his head away from her. He closed his eye back and started going back to sleep. Rukia sighed a bit and shoved her fingers into his hair, running her fingers through it in an annoying manner. He smiled a bit as if he was about to start laughing. "Ugh!" Rukia looked at him and shook her head a bit,"Why are you so difficult?"

"I'm not difficult, I'm just tired and you make a comfortable pillow" Edward looked at her,"Now let me sleep" He closed his eyes again.

"Why, exactly, are you sleeping on me?"

"You wouldn't let me go to my room so I figured that I could just use you as a pillow since you were using my arm as a teddy bear"

"You did a good job keeping me in place, that's for sure"

Edward just smiled with his eyes closed.

"Karakura Town here we are once again" Rukia sighed,"I don't see why we came back here at such odd times. I mean, we only left like two weeks ago"

Edward remained silent, knowing somehow she was going to use her logic to make him sound like a total idiot. He just sighed and started walking with Rukia, Al, Ling, Lan Fan, and Fu following along. Rukia looked around for a minute and broke from the group. Edward sighed a bit and followed after her. Rukia continued walking and looked around. She seen a flyer and she looked at Edward with puppy dog eyes. He sighed a bit,"What do you want?" She handed him the flyer. It was about a festival in the next town over and it was for that exact day. He looked at her and nodded a bit,"Alright, alright" Rukia smiled and kissed his lips, which instantly got Edward blushing and smiling. He noticed that Al had disappeared somewhere.

Rukia was sleeping in Edward's lap again with his jacket wrapped around her petite body but this time he was with Rangiku and they were at Ichigo's house on Ichigo's bed while he was at school. She smiled a kind smile when she saw the two of them. "It's nice for her to have someone like you, Ed"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Rukia's sister abandoned her when she was still a baby in Hanging Dog, which is a village in the Soul Society where all the adults were thieves or murderers and all the children forced to be delinwuents in order to survive" Rangiku said, taking a seat next to the two of them,"She pretty much had to raise herself, act like an adult, teach herself. She had no one to look after her. After some time, she met Renji and a group of his friends. She pretty much saved them from getting the life beat out of them and she had sound somewhere she could belong" She looked at him,"From what Renji told me, she was the only girl and she even talked like a boy but had a classy tone about it" She shook her head a bit,"Anyways, First day she was there, she beat up an boy that was three times her size and gave away her food, the next day she almost starved to death" She ran her fingers through Rukia's hair and as a response, she pulled his coat further around herself. "She was called many different names, even after Byakuya took her into his family. It's nicce to know she could be real and loving towards you" She concluded.

"Byakuya isn't Rukia's brother by blood?"

"No, her sister was married to him though and on her deathbed she told him that she had no right to be called her sister but hoped that she'd have a brother to protect her"

"Well, he seems like he's fulfilling that with no trouble"

"But you get my point don't you?"

"Overall, yeah"

"You know I'm not deaf, correct?" Rukia muttered, sitting up and stretching before resting her head on Edward's shoulder.

"Is it wrong?"

"No, everything you told him was true but I just wanted you to know I can hear"

"Brother and sister or not, you're so much like Byakuya"
