Hahaha! I'm so evil, but every time I am I always get so many more reviews. But, because that was such a terrible chapter, I have decided to write pure fluff from now on. Happy now? I think so. But just to prove my point on the review thing, I went from five to twelve reviews. (If I counted right...) Ha, and I'm kind of a tragic at heart. ;)

ALSO- I've moved out. Therefore I do not have a computer at my new place so I have to come to my parents to use theirs...so updates are going to be slow, but hey! We're almost done anyway! Ah, the bittersweet moments in life. :D

All in all...our next item of business is...


UNITED

Rukia waited, in a blue and white dress. Silky and cottony all in one. Light as the wind that was gently blowing around her, tossing her raven locks into the warm breeze.

She gently bit her bottom lip, nervousness fell upon her as she waited for a certain train to pull in.

But she was not alone in her wait.

Many others had come too to wait for the arrival of this train as well. Gathered in a growing crowd that almost stood still around the platform.

Suddenly, a train was pulling into the very station, inching it's way to the mass of people that had waited for it, and the crowd instantly started moving around.

How many nights had Rukia waited for this moment? How many days had she waited for him? How long had they been apart now?

One year and two months.

One year.

Two months.

It seemed more to be eternity.

Men (and occasionally) women were stepping off the finally stopped train.

She had been waiting for this for so long, that she now felt the need to run away, to throw up, but at the same time she wanted to see him. She needed to see him.

More men and women where stepping off, greeting their families, their friends, with grins, hugs, and the occasional kiss.

Where was he?

Against all the black hair, she spotted him. Though he had a camouflaged hat on, she saw the orange hair, grown out from a previously shaved head.

She could see him searching the crowed for her. His expression as anxious as her feelings.

Without knowing she was, her feet where running to him, running through the thick crowd of bodies.

She felt her face wet with her own tears as she approached him, never slowing her run as he speedily walked to her.

They embraced in a forceful, but loving hug. One that can only be given for people that haven't seen each other for eternity...

...or at least one year and two months.

He turned his head to kiss her, and she turned hers. Their lips met and deepened their kiss, for once, neither caring what others thought about them.

He picked her up, spun her around once, and let her float back to the ground.

And suddenly, Rukia could taste her tears in her mouth.

No, not just her tears.

His too.

Her husband was finally home from war.


Hachimitsu-sama- I know! It was intense! But I couldn't resist!

Miss Samurai- Awh, thanks. I like this fic too...but isn't "U" next? (This chapter?) Don't make me doubt myself!

RAMEN-monster- Thank you for being hooked! I always wanted to go fishing and end up catching a person! :D

Automailjunkie44- Yeah, I hate "T" as well. It's kind of depressing...mm...maybe a re-write?

Kasierkawaii- What happened? My brain decided to mess with everything! RAWR!

SeraphinaDonna- Understanding, eh? That would be good, but I'm REALLY glad I'm not continuing any of these because some of them would be hard to follow up...like this one...

Kokomy- What the crap...yeah...I was thinkin' that too.

Idiotic Stupidty Person- Yeah, it's still ichiruki...which is why I'm thinking a re-write? Yes? No? Lobsters? But it did still have some ichiruki to it. After all, they were married and they had that kissing session...

ichirukipwns- Why'd I do it? Because I could. :D

Zadite- Haha! Thanks for understanding my sick humor! I wish more people could...

somebody's world- Yes, they do belong together. Hence, the idea of this ABC thing.

LithiumRukia- No offence taken. Though stopping in the middle of the chapter? How could you know if it got better or not? Ah well. Whatever floats your watermelon. But I hope this one is a...peace offering? To everyone for that matter as of I got a LOT of flames! XD
