When Rukia got to the mansion, it was 3:59pm on the dot.

She was bent over, hand on knee catching her breath. " Here" she wheezed.

Hisana raised her eyebrow at her little sister,

" Almost didn't make it huh?"

Rukia looked up at her and smiled sheepishly ,

" Subway station was packed. "

"I'm sure it was" Hisana giggled.

The school bell had just rung, Rukia had 45 minutes to make it home.

She was waiting outside the school gates for Ichigo and the baka sure was taking his time. She suddenly felt herself being lifted and spun around. She could already smell his familiar intoxicating scent that was Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Put me down Kurosaki!" She yelled.

He did what he was told and set her down, " Come on midget let's go." He pulled her along with him, walking the opposite direction.

"Where ? I told you I had to go home!" she pulled back going the other way.

"But I want to show you something, so come on." He pulled at her.

"And I said no baka!" She kicked him and took off running.

"Why you! Get back here!"

She ran into a nearby park where he ended up tackling her to the ground.

"Ichigo!" She laughed, " You idiot! Now I'm dirty!"

He didn't answer but instead kissed her while hovering over her.

Their lips tangled with each other, he intertwined his hand within her hands.

Rukia felt the soft grass underneath her, the wind blowing softly, ruffling their hair. He asked for entrance to her mouth and she allowed it, their tongues slowly fighting for dominance.

"You know you guys could get arrested for PDA?" a voice suddenly said.

Rukia and Ichigo detached from each other so fast, they probably could compete in the world records.

"I.. um.." she blushed

"Erm.." Ichigo murmured.

The girl with teal colored hair giggled at them. "Hey don't mind me, I'm just letting you know. Continue"

"Not with you standing there!" Ichigo argued.

Rukia punched Ichigo in the stomach, " Quiet you baka! Like I'd continue this anyways!" she was blushing from head to toe.

" You guys are cute" the girl giggled.

They both blushed and looked away from each other.

"Anyways, " the girl said, " Bye." She waved goodbye.

"That was weird " Ichigo said scratching his head , " Who was she?"

Rukia stared at the girl leaving, there was a weird scent to her, but she couldn't exactly tell what it was. " No idea."

"Whatever, " Ichigo replied, he pushed Rukia back down hovering over her again, "Where were we? " he smirked.

"Get off carrot top, I really can't be late." Rukia rolled over and stood up in one swift motion.

"What are you, a cat?" he groaned, he stood up as well, brushing off some grass off his clothes.

"Come on, walk me to the station." she grabbed his hand and pulled him along.

"Fine , fine ." he grumbled.

They got to the subway station and made their way to their usual route and bench.

Ichigo sat down and guided her to sit on his lap, "Come to Santa," he joked.

Rukia blushed and quickly sat beside him before he really sat her on his lap, " Baka, we're in public" she whispered harshly.

"Didn't stop you from giving me a hickie, remember?" he smirked teasingly.

Rukia shoved him playfully, " Shut up." She leaned her head on his chest, shutting her eyes, feeling the soft hum of his heartbeat, soaking up the warmth that he possessed.

She could hear his heart beating rhythmically, the flow of his blood flowing smoothly throughout his body. She wished she could stay like this forever.

"Will you be free this Saturday? For our date." he asked, playing with the hair tucked behind her ear.

She thought about her up coming training, would she be sore? Tired? No, she wanted to make time for him.

"Yes. Let's go" she answered.

Her stop was coming , she could hear the engine of the subway slowing down, the wheels screeching, "Pick me up at 7?" she asked.

"I'll be there," he said. He gave her a quick peck on her lips before the doors to the subway opened. She smiled, " Ok".

She took a deep breath inhaling his scent before she got off, the time read "3:52pm" looks like she'd have to run like hell.

It was so worth it.

Rukia gave her sister a smirk, "It really was Hisana"

Hisana gave her a wink , "Alright, alright. So, Are you ready?"

Rukia had finally caught her breath and gave her sister a formal bow. "Yes"

"Follow me" Hisana lead her to their basement, She touched a wall where it literally moved inside the foundation and a door appeared in its place.

"Wow" Rukia observed, " How did-?"

"You'll see" Hisana smiled, she opened the door and when they stepped through it, Rukia's mouth dropped.

The sky was visible inside this room! The floor made of desolate, brown, craggy land was dotted with dead trees around. Rukia blinked and rubbed her eyes , was she really seeing this?!

"This is called a Study Chamber , It is where we train our powers without the outside world being affected by it."

"Everything that happens in here, will stay in here unless you use it to defend yourself, understood?"

Hisana lead her further into the room and around the corner behind a rock ,Rukia could see a small shed.

There was a beautiful dark skinned lady standing next to her ni-sama, she wore her purple hair in a high ponytail. The gold irises of her eyes contrasted with her skin, making her look exotic. She was wearing a tight black outfit almost like ninja gear.

Hisana bowed , " Dear, Lady Yoruichi." she greeted, Rukia doing the same.

"Ahh this must be little Rukia!" Lady Yoruichi approached her and lightly pinched her cheeks, " A mini Hisana!"

Ow Rukia thought.

"Can you do what you were hired for" Byakuya annoyingly said. Rukia had never seen her brother annoyed.

Lady Yoruichi glared at him , " Look Bya-brat, I'll do it my way you got that? Go play husband or something" she waved him off.

Rukia could see the angry scowl Byakuya was trying not to show. He simply stared at the woman.

She sighed heavily and faced Rukia, "Anyways, My name is Yoruichi. Vampire Goddess of Flash. " she winked at Rukia, "I will be training you."


Hisana proceeded with the wine glass , bringing it to Yoruichi , "The blood" she stated.

Rukia felt like throwing up, the anxiety eating at her body. She felt lightheaded and sick honestly, the thought of consuming human blood made her feel guilty.

Yoruichi smirked looking at the wine glass, holding it to her lips , she took a small sip, "Nothing like Kisuke's" she pouted.

She handed the glass to Rukia, " In order to use our powers to our full extent, we must drink human blood or...we use our mate's blood and vice versa"

"Take a sip and don't be afraid of what you feel, it's normal. " Lady Yoruichi assured her, she could feel Rukia's nervousness.

Rukia took the glass in her sweaty hand, she could smell the intoxicating liquid assault her senses, the guiltiness gone.

The smell itself was so pure, so beautiful. Her fangs instantly came out, her vision sharpened just by the smell alone.

"Just a small sip Rukia " Lady Yoruichi warned.

Rukia shakingly tilted the glass up and took a small sip of the delicious liquid. It slid slowly past her tongue and into the back of her throat, she felt a slight burn when it made contact.

It made its way down her throat and into her esophagus.

The world went still for Rukia for what seemed forever. She could hear her heart beat slowly and loud in her head.

Ba-dum...Bad-dum.

Ba-dum...Ba-dum..

Every part of her body felt light like a feather, her vision sharpened and she focused on a dead tree, about 5 miles away. Her hearing sharpened, she could hear the cars on the road above their heads.

Her smell was phenomenal, she could literally smell the grass outside in the yard. She could smell how nice her siblings smelled and even Lady Yoruichi. She couldn't wait to taste.

"Focus on my voice Rukia." she heard Lady Yoruichi whisper, she whipped her head around , only to not find her there. Where was she?

"Over here.." Rukia would look and still wouldn't see her.

"Focus on my voice, my scent.." Lady Yoruichi said "…..Focus Rukia, Focus."

Rukia took a deep breath and did what she was instructed to do, she focused on the sound of Lady Yoruichi's voice, the sound of her tapping her foot against the ground, the scent of the light vanilla smell of her shampoo.

"Ah-ha! There!" Rukia focused and spotted her leaning against one of the dead trees, about 50 feet from her.

"Found me!" Lady Yoruichi smirked. She moved again but this time Rukia could follow her with her eyes.

"Good job Rukia!" Hisana clapped. She looked over at Byakuya, noticing a smirk to his handsome face, Was he feeling proud?

Rukia smiled hearing her sister, her eyes moving along where Lady Yoruichi was moving, she suddenly appeared in front of her. "Tag" she smiled, " Your turn."

"My turn? " Rukia asked, " How?" How would she possibly move that way?

The next few hours Lady Yoruichi taught Rukia , shunpo, a technique that allows the user to be faster than the eye can follow.

Rukia had to focus to make her body feel lighter than a feather and just float almost. Lady Yoruichi showed her how to mediate and bring out her spiritual energy.

She could feel it around her and eventually she could see it. It was a pure white color, and it rouse around her like vines. She smiled, " I did it Hisana! Ni-sama"! she couldn't help but yell like a child, so excited.

Hisana smiled so big, she was so proud of her little sister. " Good job Rukia!" she clapped.

She could see the white hue around Rukia, her eyes glowing a soft white. Her spiritual energy finally showing.

Byakuya observed how Yoruichi and Rukia moved around in a blur, playing the game of tag that he once did as that annoying woman showed him once upon a time.

He smiled ever so slightly, a proud brother that Rukia was a quick learner, like him.

She's going to be alright..." he took a breath of relief.


After training, Rukia went and took a shower. She was feeling so alive.

Lady Yoruichi taught her so much and she was a quick learner too. She now could hide her scent, her emotions and everything in between, basically be invisible if she wanted to be.

She fell on her bed and giggled so freely, she never felt this way before. Like she had control of her life somehow. She didn't feel any anxiety, any regrets, any remorse. For once in her life she actually didn't hate being a vampire.

Maybe it was the effects of human blood in her system but she suddenly felt like she could fly. She got up and walked over to her balcony, feeling the night's cold air. She took a deep breath and that's when it hit her.

She could smell him, the sweet scent of Ichigo Kurosaki. She clinged at her throat , it felt like it was burning. He just got off the subway , heading to her house.

I told him not to come. she was starting to panic. I can't control myself ! I can't!

She heard her door open and Hisana had came in , " It's okay Rukia. It's the blood, now that you tasted human blood , you're craving it. Ichigo is human and worse your mate, your body is telling you that it needs him.

She guided Rukia back into her room and sat her on the bed.

" Look at me." Hisana said, " Lightly bite your wrist and suck your blood. It will help with the human blood and semi-wash it out and you can control yourself."

" It's a technique that us Kuchiki have. We have the ability to heal with our blood." Hisana guided her wrist to her mouth.

Rukia did what Hisana said and in an instant, the burning feeling in her throat disappeared. She closed her eyes tight, letting a tear fall.

" I..I..I'm .." she stuttered.

Hisana hugged her tight " It's okay Rukia. You will learn to control it. I apologize for not telling you earier."

Rukia nodded that she understood and wiped her tear.

Hisana sighed. She really should've told her this.

"Go head and see him if you want. Since yours and Ichigo's spiritual energy merge, hide yours and his will disappear too." Hisana winked at her, " But please do not let Byakuya know I told you this."

Rukia let out a small smile, " I wont Nee-chan thank you."

And with that Hisana left her room leaving Rukia on her bed. Rukia closed her eyes and focused on her energy.

She heard a knock on her balcony door. He's here.

Taking a deep breath she got up and opened the door. Ichigo stood there a slight frown on his handsome face.

He smiled sheepishly at her even though he knew she'd be pissed.

"Yo" he simply said.

Rukia punched him in the gut, " Idiot! Didn't I tell you not to come!" She whispered harshly.

Ichigo held his stomach in pain "Damn midget."

She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, "Asshole."

Ichigo smirked at her and suddenly pushed her on her bed, hovering over her. "Come on midget." he whispered huskily.

Rukia focused on him and not his scent. The human blood still in her body but not so much that she couldn't control herself.

He began to place butterfly kisses behind her ear and down her neck. "Hmm" he moaned.

She sighed, always in bliss when he caressed her like this. She began to roam his arms and chest with her small petite hands.

He came to her lips and kissed her , his hot mouth on hers. She grabbed his face when he suddenly stopped.

"What" she hoarsely whispered.

He sniffed the air and then grabbed her arm, looking at her wrist, "You're bleeding."

Sitting up, she tried to snatch her arm from his grip, "It's nothing."

And then Rukia couldn't believe what she saw.

His irises were starting to have a very faint hue of gold to them.

Spiritual Energy.

His grip on her arm tightened and he suddenly laid her back down. "Ichigo, wha-"

He kissed her harshly, his teeth scraping hers.

"Ichigo" she mumbled. "Stop!"

She tried to shove him off but she started to feel lightheaded.

"He's stealing your spiritual energy" she heard Grimmjow's voice.

Sometimes they don't know that they are, she heard Hisana's voice.

Rukia closed her mouth, she bite the inside of her lip, drawing blood.

Our blood heals.

She opened her mouth again and hoped for the best.

Ichigo suddenly stopped in a instant like snapping out of a trance. He stared at Rukia, seeing a look of fear in her eyes.

" I…" he was confused. He felt a cold shiver down his spine, a feeling he only got once. "Did I..?"

Rukia was breathing heavily now, she slowly placed her hand on his cheek , " It's okay" she whispered.

Ichigo got off of her and sat down on the edge of her bed, his hands gripping his hair. "I'm sorry."

Rukia sat beside him and laid her hand on his knee. " You can tell me"

He looked at her and scoffed. " You'll think I'm a monster."

She wanted to laugh. If only you knew..

"Never" she said.

"After my mom died, I remember one day, I got so emotional seeing a lady wearing the same sweater my mom had on when she was killed that I blacked out into a rage.

"I get so mad that I lose control. There's a darkness inside of me.. or maybe I'm crazy.. I.. I don't know.. and also The smell of blood , seeing it, it makes … I don't know… I can't bear it. I swear to you Rukia, one time I think I punched a tree." He scoffed.

"It's like there's something inside of me waiting and lurking to come out."

Like the body trying to complete itself.

Rukia had never cried in front of anyone before but seeing Ichigo in such despair, she hated herself.

"Oi midget don't cry please"

She hugged him and wrapped her tiny arms around his toned body, " You're not a monster Ichigo.. You're just…just… wonderful."

He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up, he kissed her again. I have to let go…for his own good… even though you're my forever… I can't bear your suffering Ichigo.

She let her energy show and in a instant Hisana came knocking, "Rukia!" She shouted, " I'm coming in!"

Ichigo hurriedly set her down and ran to her balcony, Rukia behind him, " Shit better Hurry! I'll see you tomorrow okay?" He turned around and pecked her lips. " Goodnight" he slightly smirked.

"Goodbye." she said.

He hurriedly jumped off the balcony and onto the vines on her wall.

Hisana was waiting for her on the bed when Rukia came throwing herself at her, she was sobbing.

She could feel her little sister's heartache, it even hurt her. "there, there Rukia."

Rukia quietly sobbed on her sister, just when she finally thought her world was better, it came crashing down.

Goodbye Ichigo…
