"And then he dumped me," Rukia said, pouring herself another glass of wine. Feeling the stare of concern coming from the group, worried that she may go overboard with the wine.
"Don't worry about it Rukia, love is not an easy thing to learn" Momo spoke distracting her from Riruka plan to keep Rukia and the wine apart from each other.
"But I'm near the stage where if I don't find someone suitable, I'll be in an arranged process. With that do they really turn out great, cause movies and dramas are a lie." Before taking another sip then zoning out.
"Love is a lie, it is just overrated. You don't need a person to love you if you can't appreciate yourself, with the decisions you make." Riruka said striking her hard in the heart to know she will never understand how love works. " You know who would've helped you more in this situation, Orihime. But she's been busy since we celebrated her passing the bar exam."
"Ah, I miss Orihime. When is she ever coming back, I need someone else to be the mother of the group, not me" Momo sulked remembering all the unwanted responsibilities given since then.
"Excuse me, Ummm are you with the lady over there," the waiter asks, pointing to Rukia who was laying on the ground all flushed red happily spilling wine. Riruka immediately rushed over to the drunk while Momo constantly apologizes for the mess created before ordering a taxi.
Laying there mindlessly wondering Ichigo thought where it went wrong, was it that he poured out too much or that he seemed too clingy. Everything that has happened Ichigo was certain not to make the same mistake as his previous relationships, but it keeps getting worse than before. It's been weeks since he requested the agency for a break, travelling back home to reset everything.
"How long are you going to lay there? Dad asked you to take me to my game." Karin called busting through his door. "You always do this every time."
Ichigo knew exactly was she meant. Through every relationship he always come back home. Time to recharge and heal was all he needed before moving on, "I thought your game was at 4?"
"Yeah, but I want to get some practice in." Then turning her back to him Karin begun to walk out before commenting. "Oh, how's Rukia? Saw that she's been home for a while too."
Leaving Ichigo confused. The last time they have spoken was the fight, how couldn't she have stopped by like she usually would? "What do you mean for a while? Ichigo asked grabbing Karin shoulder.
"Yeah, Yuzu and I ran into her from the store. She offered for us to come over for tea at some point before she leaves. Right Yuzu" Karin stated looking at Yuzu.
"Yep, she also invited us for dinner at some point too. Cause her brother is planning to leave her for a while."
How could she not have told her she was around? Yeah, the pair grown apart and had issues but was it that bad? Rukia left for University and then working for her brother, while Ichigo got accepted by a modeling agency before entering college. However, the two were inseparable since the age of five.
Ever since Rukia moved to Karakura, they bonded quickly. Till high school things started to change. They both started going their separate ways.
"You can't keep trying to start a fight with him" Rukia said looking at Ichigo with frustration.
Flash Back
"Look I didn't mean to; I am concern for you." Ichigo defended.
"No, you just want me be there for you. And I've always had, but what about me" Holding her frustration her voice started quivering.
"What do you mean? I've always been there?" Ichigo looked concerned. Reaching out his hand to comfort her. Only to be slapped away.
"No, you haven't. I needed you." Looking down. "Last week, the week before, and today. But no, you were wrapped around that whore's finger."
"Hey! Don't -"
"Ichigo, she passed." Rukia broke, as streaks of tears. But before Ichigo could hold her. She left him, running out of the class and into someone else arms. All Ichigo could do was watch from afar in anger.
Thinking about those days made him regret his actions. Rukia been there for him all these times and till now. But the effort back wasn't enough. Getting ready to head out, a ring came from the door.
"I'll get it "Ichigo cried, making it over, only to be greeted by a drunk Rukia and her friend.
"Hey Ichigo, take care of her for us bye!" Momo hurried, throwing Rukia practically on Ichigo and bolted for the taxi where Riruka was waiting.
"Hehehe, bye bye Cuties. Hello Starwberry." Rukia slurred, slumped on Ichigo trying to use his arms to support her from falling.
"Ughh, Rukia why." Bringing her body upstairs to his room.
Hey... Nice you meet everyone... I got some explaining to do so let's get to it.
1. Rukia did not get her heart broken by Ichigo... Or did she? LOL, no. Some else did it.
2. The people that broke their hearts is going to make a appearance at some point. Not now. So more drama to come.
3. Love is messy, stick to 2D. Nobody will hurt you except your wallet and family.
4. I don't own Bleach. That's the obvious part of this story. And it annoys me to put it in every chapter.
Thank you, till next time. Enjoy the series.
