You ever wish you were born a different person? You could do whatever you wanted and be whoever you wanted?

Rukia stared out her bedroom window, nail file stick in hand, sighing already feeling the pain of what she does every night.

Before that, she did her usual night routine and packed her lunch in her bag, packed her sunscreen and nausea medicine.

A knock on her door, "Rukia?" her older sister Hisana called out for her, "It's dinner time." Her sister and her could almost pass as twins. They both were petite , black hair and big eyes except hers were violet and her sister's were brown.

"Coming" Rukia simply said.

She headed downstairs where her sister and her husband, her Ni sama, Byakuya were waiting on her.

"Rukia" her Ni sama greeted her. He was a tall elegant man, long medium black hair tied back and a sharp exotic face.

Hisana clapped her hands in excitement, "Tonight we are celebrating our first night in Karakura Town and the start of a new life."

She poured the dark red liquid into their wine glasses, " Cheers" she raised her glass in the air. Rukia and Byakuya followed, "to a new start."

"It tastes fantastic Hisana" Byakuya commented on the drink , "What kind is it?"

She blushed from receiving such a compliment from her husband, " It was a little hard to find but I managed. It's mountain lion"

"Mountain lion?" That's quite the search dear. Thank you" He reached over and kissed her hand.

Rukia raised her eyebrows at their actions, "Get a room" she rolled her eyes, "Thank you Hisana. It really is good."

Byakuya chuckled, " I apologize Rukia."

Hisana cleared her throat, trying not to be embarrassed "So Rukia, you ready to start school tomorrow?"

"Nope." she answered instantly.

"Oh come on Rukia, We did research into the school, these kids are a little more welcoming to our -"

"I don't care! "Rukia interrupted sharply, " I don't want anyone to know and that's final."

"Rukia." her brother warned. She heard his tone of voice and knew she had to cool down.

"I-I'm sorry Onee-san. I.. I rather just keep a normal life here for now.." she put her head down.

Hisana smiled sympathetically at her younger sister, things were different in her time but now in Rukia's time, the humans weren't too kind.

"Okay okay, I'm sorry. I just want you to have a good time here Rukia." she caressed her cheek, "That's all."

"I know" Rukia sighed, " May I go to bed now? I finished my drink." she raised her cup showing her it was empty.

"Go ahead. Goodnight, rest well." Byakuya answered her question.

Hisana pouted, obviously not ready for dinner to be over, " Goodnight" she sighed in defeat.

Rukia bowed and quickly rushed to her room.

There she was safe from everyone including her nagging sister and brother.

She was really not looking forward to her Junior year of high school starting over at a new school, not that she missed her old one.

Will this year be the same? Will everyone be afraid of her? Will she ever feel...normal?

Can vampires even feel normal?

Rukia knew, this year would be something else.


"Rukia!" Hisana called from downstairs, " Get up or you're gonna be late!"

"I'm coming !" Rukia yelled back. She wasn't ready for today. New school and new humans, possibly means "the world owes me something " type humans.

She made her way downstairs, the siblings exchanged their goodbyes and well wishes.

"Don't forget your pouch Rukia" Hisana reminded her, Rukia made her way over to the fridge and got her little "tomato " juice pouch and stuffed it in her bag.

"Thanks" she said to her sister.

"Now have a great day first day! Careful on the subway back home." Hisana kissed her younger sister's forehead, "I love you Rukia."

"I love you too Onee-san."

She made her way out their house and into the street, walking to the subway around the corner.

Rukia could smell all kinds of smells walking inside the subway, she could smell the blood of the humans , it made her stomach tighten. She knew they were not threaten by her, since she was born, all she ever had was animal blood.

Hisana said there are some humans with very strong and sweet blood but Rukia never has encountered any human like that before.

She searched for her subway and immediately found it with her perfect sharp vampire vision, she could also sense it coming to a stop.

Upon entering the subway, she choose a seat to the back, where no one could see her.

She popped her headphones in and closed her eyes, letting the music flow into her. A few minutes later she felt a presence sit in the same bench as her.

Finally, letting herself come back to her full senses, she immediately regretted it. The smell was so sweet, so powerfully strong that her skin had goosebumps and her throat clenched.

She gasped and held her hand to the base of her throat, What's going on? she thought. She suddenly felt dizzy and felt like she was going to fall over.

"Are you okay?" she heard a man say. She could hear that he was near her, probably sitting next to her but she couldn't focus.

She slowly shook her head No, and tried to hold herself against the seat of the bench.

"Hey, hold on, you aren't okay.." the man said again. She felt his strong hands hold her up and her head leaned against his shoulder.

She suddenly felt her body spark, the smell was so strong now, it overwhelmed her. It was him...

Rukia was breathing hard now, trying so hard to control this feeling...this thirst. She clenched the man's shirt and balled the material under her fingers.

"What..are you..?" she heard him softly ask. Rukia was losing all control, she inched herself closer to him and closer until her lips brushed against the vein in his neck.

She felt him breath harder and his heartbeat quickened. She slowly and carefully nipped on his neck and gave him a soft suck on it. She could feel his warm blood pulse and quicken within him.

She was so close to letting her instincts take over and let her filed fangs come through and bite him.

All of a sudden the subway came to an abrupt stop, forcing her to fall backwards on the bench. The sudden wind from the doors opening and smell of the old subway blew her back to her senses.

She opened her eyes and was staring right at him. His amber eyes were wild and filled with lust. He had orange messy hair and even sitting down ,she could tell he was tall.

"I.." she stuttered, she could hear the announcer say they reached their destination and she decided to run like hell.

She got up so fast that in the next blink he took, she was gone. She ran past the doors and ran to anywhere but in that subway.

She ran past the boarding stations and up the stair to the busy streets of Karakura Town. "Shit, shit!" she internally yelled. "I'm SO Stupid!"

She had to focus , she couldn't miss the first day of school! She looked around and recognized where she was. Good she thought, Karakura High was just up the street.

Sighing from relief, she just wanted this day over with. Why did that man have to sit next to her! She felt anger quickly build up, stupid human! How dare he invade her space like that anyway!?

She reached the gates of Karakura High, wishing that today would not get any worse. A girl with short brown hair greeted her instantly, "Hi, you must be Rukia" she held her hand out. Rukia took it and shook it. "Hi" she responded back.

"My name is Hinomari Momo, but call me Momo, I just wanna say. Welcome to Hell."
