I'm finally back from my outing in Alta Vista!

Don't ask.

I got a new idea for another story! Yaay!

I'm so happy that my fingers are back on the keyboard!

While I'm mindlessly tapping on the keys, I'm still thinking of a plot! xD

Loading…

Loading… Anytime now…

Um, while the story's still coming, I'll take this opportunity to apologize for not updating after days!

I got addicted to playing Sims and also Zoo Tycoon! (standard disclaimer applies)

Oh, and, I do not own Bleach and other related topics, so don't sue me.

I'd like to thank all those who reviewed me, be it rave or rant, I'm still grateful for giving me a feedback.

dOkei – Arigatou! Thank you so much for reviewing! I really appreciate it! xD

BlackSunWhiteMoon – Thank you! Sorry for the confusing POVs… I was supposed to put a borderline there, but it didn't come out when I put it online…

Azureuss –Of course! I'll hurry up and finish it! Thank you so much!

Please continue to review! Thank you.

Okay, here it is… My fic…

Chapter 5

Rukia got her own place to stay in Karakura. Her place is about 5 blocks from mine. Not too near, not too far.

Since she lost her memory, the thing strange was, she still remembered our lessons in school and a few of our classmates' names. The thing she couldn't remember was what happened to her between them.

"Kuchiki-san, thank you for the help the other day! I honestly had a hard time with those brain teasers… I'm not that good in logic anymore!" Orihime giggled.

"That was nothing Inoue-san!" Surprisingly, Rukia maintained that really disgusting way of acting towards other people! She did a curtsy.

Inoue smiled and gave a curtsy as well. Then, they continue exchanging curtsies, for the last 5 minutes, while laughing.

The world has become insane… Actually the world was always insane…

By instinct, Rukia pulled me out of the classroom again.

"Ichigo-san, what do I do? I don't feel good, someone's about to get hurt again!" she was worried.

"Give me your bag." I said, grabbing it. I pulled out the red glove.

"Remember this?" I asked.

She put it on hurriedly and pushed my soul out of my body.

I ran towards where I sense the hollow.

"Ichigo-san,…" Rukia called while holding my lifeless body.

"Nani?" I asked.

"Don't die…" she gave me the same face and the same line when I was about to fight that grand fisher who killed my mother.

"Whatever…" Then I continued my hollow-slaying job.

She hid my body in a closet and ran after me.

I slashed through the hollow's body to give it pain and I pushed the soul of a teenaged guy out of the way.

"Oi! Get out of the way! You'll get eaten dammit!" I told the ghost.

"That monster took my dad! I can't just let him go!" he cried.

He lost his father… Just like I lost my mother…

I'M GOING TO KILL THIS HOLLOW b------!

I didn't notice the hollow charging behind me… I was about to get hurt until she saved my life…

She was bitten, all soaked in blood.

"I remember… just a little… Ichigo-san… I once risked my life for you like this…" she smiled and fell on the pavement flooding it with her blood.

"Hey Rukia!" I shook her for her to remain conscious, but she fainted… It started to rain… I held her face… It was just like that rainy dusk when I almost defeated that grand fisher and I fainted, rested in her arms, she holding my soaked wet face from the rain… Only that this time, she rested in my arms…

I slashed through the hollow with so much anger and saved another soul. It turned out that sadly, that hollow was his father when the mask cracked off. I couldn't blame anyone but myself for this incident… I gave the guy a soul burial and purified the hollow… Full of regret, I got back into my body, carried Rukia's tiny body and brought her back to the clinic.

O—o—O—o—O

"Son, are you okay? I mean, were you visiting some fortune teller to cause all this bad luck?" my father eyed me.

"WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" I whacked my father.

"I mean, I noticed, whenever you go with this lass, she always ends up in my clinic…" my dad noticed. It's not my fault this death god's twisted… Twisted enough to care about my life…

Just like the woman my father fell in love with…

I see it clearly now… I never noticed it… Just now… When I finally lost touch of our memories…

When this day had to come when her heart and memory would be out of my reach… When only she could save herself and come back…

From the moment she stepped into my heart… When she entered my life… When she gave me a heart after 6 more years of suffering… I learned from her…

She woke up with a smile on her face… muttered the words…

"Arigatou… Thank you for my life… my memory… my heart…"

O—o—O—o—O

This maybe one of the shortest chapters I've ever made!

Don't worry, I'll update soon!

Arigatou for reading and reviewing!

PLEASE review guys… I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

And I will annoy you no further…
