------------

Kaien just stood there for the longest time staring at the scene before him. His soon to be wife, Rukia, was back against the floor wearing nothing but bandages around her chest and thin white shorts, while another man was on top of her kissing her with all his might his hands resting under her chest on her bare skin.

Kaien smirked as he walked over to them spread out on the floor and then roughly kicked Ichigo in the face causing him to fly back and go threw at least two of the thin walls. During Ichigo's absent Kaien got to be alone with Rukia.

Rukia opened her mouth to speak but he just hushed her with his finger over her lips.

"We will get married Rukia, this boy does not mean anything to you" Kaien said as he grinned looked at Ichigo who was wiping blood from his mouth cursing under his breath.

"Kaien I-" Rukia was about to protest to what he said but Kaien chuckled as he leaned in close to her ear and whispered gently so only the she could hear.

--------

"Damn him" Ichigo said as he took out zangetsu and began to charge at Kaien when suddenly Rukia stood in front of Kaien almost like a shield as Ichigo stopped with the sword pointing straight at Rukia's heart.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on him Ichigo!" Rukia said in the coldest voice she could muster. 'I'm so sorry I have to do this to you Ichigo.' She didn't leave her position in front of Kaien.

"I wasn't planning to, I was just gonna hack his ass up!" Ichigo remarked as he was slightly stung by how Rukia was protecting Kaien.

"Why did you have to come here? Why did you have to mess with my life!" Rukia yelled as she turned around so that she faced Kaien While Ichigo stared at her back not knowing what to say to her not knowing what she was trying to say.

"What! I came…I came…I came to tell you something and also to ask what you were going to tell me" Ichigo said not wanting to admit how he felt in front of Kaien.

"There is nothing I want to tell you, as for what you were going to tell me, drop it I have a wedding to go to." Rukia said as she closed her eyes hoping the tears wouldn't come out, not yet.

"You mean, what he said was true? I was his substitute! So now I'm suddenly nothing to you because you have him! You never once saw me as me!" Ichigo yelled as he was shouting out everything except for what he really wanted to ask her. 'Does that mean you never loved me' he thought to himself as he but zangetsu back.

"Of course, I needed him and you were the closest thing I could find. Now that I have him there's no reason to go back to earth! There's absolutely nothing holding me there." Rukia said with her emotionless tone. 'Please heavens, Ichigo, Myself. Forgive me for what I'm doing please.'

Ichigo stood there not moving not wanting to move his heart felt as if it was shattered as if it didn't exist. He looked down at the ground shadowing his eyes as he turned around his back facing Rukia's back.

'It was all fake! Her feelings for him where only her feelings for Kaien never NEVER were they his. He couldn't comprehend the pain he was feeling right now. No words could tell him how he was feeling.

"Let us go my husband, the wedding can not wait" Rukia said as she began to walk to her discarded dress thanking the heavens that Ichigo was turned around so that he would not see her almost teary face.

She bend down to pick up her dress when two strong hands grabbed her bare shoulders pulling her up to her feet. She looked up and saw Ichigo looking down at her with dead serious eyes looking into hers.

"Tell me your joking!" Ichigo said as he looked for any signs of reaction only to see her eyes puffy tears threatening to fall from her big eyes.

"Just tell me that kiss wasn't real and I will leave you" Ichigo said as he held her shoulders tighter his eyes firm and sharp yet hopeful. The only thing Rukia saw in his eyes were his hope, he was hoping it wasn't real he was just hoping she really did love him because the thought of her going made him realize his feelings for her.

The thought of her leaving for him forever made the true feelings for her come out. He knew how he felt and he needed to know where he stood in her life. Where he was and if he even stood a chance to become the only man in Rukia's life.

'What should I do?' Rukia thought when she suddenly thought about what Kaien told her:

"You cant love him, and if you do you know he doesn't return those feelings right. You don't belong in his life you ruined everything that was going for him. You hurt him badly. I'm doing this for your sake Rukia. Let him go. Just let him go back to his normal life. As long as you're with him he could never regain his ordinary life, the life he had before he met you. If he never met you none of this would have happened to both of you. Let Him Go!"

Rukia opened her mouth to speak as Ichigo's hopes went up before she could open her mouth Kaien grabbed her and yanked her out of his grasp.

"She is mine! She belongs to me! Get out of here!" Kaien said as he gently pushed Rukia behind him throwing her dress at her.

"Kaien what is wrong with you" Rukia yelled as she pointed a finger at him confused about what was going on. "Lets just go, please let's leave him and go!" Rukia begged as she grabbed his arm trying to pull him away from Ichigo but was just pushed back hitting the floor hard.

"Kaien?" Rukia was in shock Kaien would never do anything like this he was crazy! She didn't know what was going on she looked into his eyes as he looked down at her.

Ichigo took out Zangetsu and charged Kaien but all Kaien did was vanish in thin air and appear behind Ichigo ramming him in the neck with his elbow as he grinned at Ichigo's pained expression.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Rukia said as prepared herself to help Ichigo when she felt a small cold hand on her wrist. Rukia was frozen and suddenly yet slowly she turned around.

It was the little girl with the black dress and hollow blue eyes. She just stared and held on tight to Rukia's hands watching the fight. She held Rukia's hands like a little sister to a big sister.

As strange as it sounded Rukia couldn't move. The man she loved was being killed by her past love and she didn't do anything. It was like a spell was put on her when the little girls hands made contact with Rukia's.

"Ironic" The little girl said in her emotionless voice her eyes never leaving the fight as she showed slight interest when Ichigo was coughing up blood when Kaien roughly punched his chest. Rukia was focused on the girl confused.

"When something is gone, that is when it's truly cherished" The girl said tightening her grip on Rukia's hand never letting it go. The girl then adverted her eyes from the battle before her to stare at Rukia's tearful eyes.

"Please make him stop" Rukia begged as she let the tears fall freely not caring who saw. All she wanted was Ichigo's safety nothing more. She wanted Kaien to go back to the normal Kaien. The Kaien that she once fell in love with.

"Curiosity hasn't intrigued you yet about why he's this way" the girl asked as she saw Rukia's cries deepen when Ichigo was thrown into the wall again as Kaien walked up. She was scared of what was gonna happen next as she turned to the little girl letting the tears fall from her face down to the cold floor.

"I don't care! Please I'm begging you tell him to stop" Rukia said as she looked into the girls hollow eyes pleading and asking for her to comply.

"Alright big sister but, you have to do me a favor" the girl said as she looked about to continue on with what the favor was but Rukia just ignored it and tried to tell her with her eyes to hurry up and call him off.

The little girl just put her hand up as a small orb appeared in her hand and Kaien pulled his arm back and walked over to her and smirked at the crying Rukia.

"Go to him for a moment and I shall sent him back" the little girl told her as she pointed in the direction of Ichigo lying on the ground holding on barley by a breath. Rukia shook her head up and down and let go of the girl's hand and ran to her love.

"Ichigo?" she said as she kneeled down to level with him and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her so that his head rested on her shoulder with his face pressed against her neck as she felt his host moist breath on the nape of her neck.

"I'm sorry I never meant for this to happen I'm so sorry please forgive me" she said as she continued to cry and cry.

She closed her eyes as she pulled him back to look him in the eye as she fought the next fuss of tears that were threatening to escape.

"I love you," she said and before he could say anything else she pulled him closer to her and pressed her warm lips to his cold ones causing him to blush and yet close his eyes. If his body wasn't numb he would grab her and hold her tight and tell her how he feels.

Rukia then roughly pushed him back and closed her eyes moving away as the little girl snapped her finger and Ichigo was then slowly disappearing.

"Wait you cant! I have to tell you! Rukia!" Ichigo was yelling but slowly his voice became nothing but a whisper as he disappeared.

"Ready for the wedding sister" the little girl said as she smiled and hugged Rukia. Then grabbing her hand and pulled her to the door with Kaien at her side.

"Wait! Now I want to know. Tell me why he's here! Tell me everything" Rukia demanded as she looked down at the little girl holding her hand.

The little girl closed her eyes and let out a big sigh as she looked up at Rukia.

"Very well I'll tell you everything"
