Prologue.

He had seen the lamp before.

Of course he had.

It was on Kuchiki Byakuya's house; whenever he went there he would find it, either on his studio, or the living room, sometimes when he was lucky and Hisana-san let him decide what he wanted to eat, he would see the same ugly lamp at the kitchen. He couldn't be mistaken, the little golden piece of art was unforgettable, it had the face of an animal, a lion he supposed, and it looked a lot like the lamp that was on one of Yuzu's fairytales; Aladdin and the enchanted lamp.

So, if the lamp belonged to Byakuya what was doing here, on the beach shore of all places?

It was probably because Byakuya was hosting a party, on his beach house, celebrating the newest company achievement. Sure, Byakuya wasn't the party type of guy but Hisana-san insisted and since most of the people of the company were old men and their wives, things weren't going to get wild and she wasn't wrong, that's why Ichigo was walking alone on the shore, to breathe fresh air.

Perhaps one of the guests had pick up the lamp and dropped it; sighing Ichigo decided to take it back. He picked up the ugly thing and realized that it was covered with sand so he rubbed it a little; Byakuya had told him several times about the importance of neatness and cleaning, he didn't fancy the idea of the Kuchiki heir glaring at him for getting back the lamp in a less than decent state.

He wasn't ready for the lamp to start shining and shaking.

Afraid he dropped the thing again but it didn't stop moving; purple smoke started to come out and before he knew what was happening, a midget came out of the lamp. She had raven hair, violet eyes and she was the tiniest person he had ever seen. He was sure that she could fit perfectly on the palm of his hand.

"Holy shit!" he exclaimed and fell on his butt in the sand; fucking great his suit was ruined.

Not to mention that he probably had sand on his ass too.

"Sister!" the midget said "thanks God I was getting bored and…"

Ichigo noticed how the girl started to look around with confusion and when she noticed him her eyes widened.

"You're not my sister." She said.

Ichigo noticed then her outfit; it was red and white, it showed her flat and cute abdomen and… Ichigo's eyes widened; it was the outfit of a genie!

The girl frowned at him.

"Who are you?" she asked.

Ichigo was gaping; his chin was almost touching the floor.

"I'm talking to you fool!" the genie said and jumped to kick him on the nose.

"Fuck!" Ichigo said while holding the affected area "this means I'm totally drunk, right?" he asked while holding the little girl on his right hand.

"What are you talking about asshole?! Let go off me!"

Ichigo nodded.

Yeah, there was no other explanation; he was drunk. Otherwise he wouldn't be seeing genies and lamps in the beach at midnight.

"Yeah, I'm totally drunk." He said as if he was talking alone "I mean genies do not exist…"

A vein on the genie's head throbbed and Ichigo thought that she looked cute when she was angry. He still blamed the alcohol.

"We do exist! I'll show you! Since you freed me from my lamp, I'll grant you three wishes!"

Ichigo laughed extremely hard; three wishes?! Right, as if that anything was that easy.

"Sure, midget." He said sarcastically "you will."

"My name is Rukia" she said "Kuchiki Rukia."

She noticed how Ichigo's eyes widened as he observed carefully the girl that was still trapped on his hand.

"Now that I think about it you look a lot like Hisana-san" he said.

"Do you know my sister?!" Rukia asked with a smile "then you should be able to take me back to her!"

Ichigo, who still didn't believe anything that was happening, let go of the genie and she fell gracefully on the sand. Sure, the resemblance between her and Hisana-san was almost striking, but it was impossible to believe that Kuchiki Hisana, wife of one of the richest and most powerful man around japan, could've a sister, inside a fucking lamp. Although, that would explain why they kept such a hideous object around the house.

Ichigo sat Indian style, deciding to ignore the sand on his ass, so he could talk properly to the girl. If this was what his drunken experience had brought to him tonight then he was going to make the most of it.

"Let's see if I get this" Ichigo said "you're Kuchiki Rukia, Hisana-san's sister and a genie?" he asked and Rukia nodded once.

"So, you live in a magic lamp and since I rubbed it you owe me three wishes."

Rukia nodded again and Ichigo huffed.

"As if I'm going to believe that bullshit!" he said sceptical.

Rukia glared at him, she thought that the boy was sort of funny. His orange hair and his deep scowl were something that would call anyone's attention, but she found annoying how he couldn't believe what was right in front his eyes, was he stupid? She knew who the boy was, for a second she thought that he was a complete stranger but now that she could see him clearly she remembered; he worked for her brother.

"I can prove it" she said proudly "just ask for anything! I'll make it happen!"

Ichigo shook his head, he didn't want to ask for anything. He had everything he had ever hoped for; a great family, a good job at the Kuchiki enterprise, he had graduated with excellent grades and he had a good circle of friends. He probably lacked a little bit in the love department but it wasn't as if his sex life was nonexistent…

In the end he grabbed the girl again and she sat on the palm of his hand.

He was sure that this was all an illusion, he was drunk and he was seeing things. Probably, this was just a dream, he would wake up at Kuchiki Byakuya's house with a huge hungover and everything would go back to normal. Looking at Rukia, and pondering her questions, he realized how he had almost everything he wanted… except someone to share it with.

Rukia observed him trying to decipher what it meant the look he was giving to her; she could see longing behind his eyes and it sent shivers down to her spine. She had seen several men, and women, looking at her with greed and hunger for power. They just used her to have their three wishes and left her lamp forgotten but Ichigo's eyes weren't harsh, in fact, he didn't seem to want anything.

He was different.

"Well, if I could really ask for anything…" he said finally "I wish you could stay with me forever."

There was a slight pause and in a moment Rukia started to glow… literally.

Ichigo's eyes widened when he realized what he had done.

Authors note:

Hi there! This is me procrastinating and somehow this came out.
