The sorrowful gust of wind that blew right between you and me
Where did it find the loneliness it carried on the breeze?
Ichigo Kurosaki, 20 years old living in the same boring city he always has lived in since he was a boy.
Ever since his mother passed, he couldn't bear to leave the city where she rests, where she grew up, where she raised him and his sisters.
But deep down, he knew another place called for him. He didn't know how to explain it but he had vivid dreams about being in another place, at another time with someone.
He could perfectly see the mountains, the clear skies, the fireflies beaming around the forest and then she was always there. He could never see her face, only her small petite, perfectly shaped figure, and her dark black short chin length-ed hair.
Most dreams , she was standing in a field, the galaxy behind her serving as a background with her hand reached out towards him. He would reach to her so desperately until he lightly brushed her fingertips and he would suddenly wake up.
Now he was a healthy 20 year old male, ever so rarely he would dream of this beautiful woman in an embarrassing way.
He would be craddling her warm, naked body to his, giving her butterfly kisses on her soft shoulder. He could never hear her laugh but her lips would curve up and he could imagine the giggle that would slip out.
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stay here a little longer now..
Ichigo would wake up some days and his heart would ache for her. The feeling she gave him was unimaginable. He has never met anyone like her that he could remember. It felt like his whole life he would be searching for someone...for her.
He looked down at his right hand, opening and closing it slowly..always wondering, " Who are you.. What's your name?"
Looking up at the sky after shedding a stream of tears
I could see for miles of blue, it's never been so clear
Rukia Kuchiki, 23 years old living in the great city of Karakura Town ever since her senior year. Her old town of Seireitei was completely destroyed in the famous meteor 6 years ago. She started to attend college here and moved on to a more modern lifestyle.
The Kuchiki traditions died with the town when most of the citizens separated into other towns eventually, even tho part of the Temple still was there, history was behind them.
Now the Elders and Ni-sama focused and built their own company and were one of the most richest executives in Karakura Town.
Currently she was standing at her apartment patio , cup of coffee in hand and enjoying the humming noises the cars made in the street. Her violet eyes caught a peek of orange hair flowing through the busy streets.
She instantly blushed and slightly tilted her head downwards. She had been having vivid dreams about a man with orange hair , light tan skin, and a real nice defined body. She could never see his face but he was definitely taller than her.
Most dreams he would be standing near a train station near Seireitei with his lean strong arm reaching for her, she would run to him and reach out as well but as soon as her fingertips brushed his, she would wake up.
Rukia was still innocent even at 23 years old.
She never had a boyfriend or even her first kiss ! Yet here she was having these embarrassing dreams of this man.. he would be holding her naked body to his. She couldn't hear his chuckle but she could imagine the feeling of the rumble in his chest when he did.
He would give her soft kisses on her shoulders and neck and would whisper sweet things to her. She closed her eyes and wished he was real. She set her coffee cup down and covered her hot face. " What am I saying!?"
Ever since the night of the meteor , she always felt that she was missing something...someone..like she was specifically searching for ..him.
She raised her left hand and slowly traced a familiar pattern on her palm, Who are you ? she wondered, What's your name?
" Shit! I'm late ! " Ichigo yelled while scrambling out of his bed.
Speeches that my father gave me would always make me despair
Somehow, I feel a warmth and comfort today
Today he had an interview with Kuchiki Corporation and here he was already running late. He would have to catch a different subway now.
"Dammit" he said frustrated, " Was hoping to see mom real quick for to wish me luck" he ran his hands through his orange wild hair.
Your ever kind heart, the way you smile, and even how you find your dreams
I knew nothing, so honestly, I've always copied you
He couldn't miss this interview no matter what, he knew today his life was gonna change.
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stay here a little longer now
" Oh fuck I'm late!" Rukia yelled and shot out of bed like a torpedo.
" Rukia language!" Momo yelled at her from her apartment kitchen, " You're meeting with your brother's possible new business associate right?"
" I hope so! He's suppose to be very good and caring and will help Ni-sama set up schooling for orphans, but if I don't hurry my ass up, I'm not going to be there!" she was scrambling getting her clothes and getting ready.
" What if he's hot?" Momo asked.
"As if Momo" Rukia rolled her eyes.
Tired of playing hide and seek with time and always coming just short
Crying even when you're happy
Smiling even when you're feeling lonely
"I'm not worried about that, Today I can feel it. Today my life is gonna change" she smiled confidently. She wrapped her favorite charm and ribbon around her wrist for good luck and rushed out the door.
Ichigo was out of breath by the time he made it to the subway station. Using his phone, he was looking for the unfamiliar subway when he heard the announcer call it.
"Shit! Hold on! " he yelled.
It's because a part of you
Has made it here before the rest has
Rukia was looking at the subway list searching for the best one to take. She knew some shortcuts to get there faster. She checked the time and saw she wasn't as late as she thought.
She suddenly heard a man yell loudly across the lobby. " Must be really late yelling like that" she thought.
She boarded the subway she selected. She hoped this meeting went well.
Finally, my dreams have counted up to a hundred today
Someday, I'll trade them all for just the very one
Ichigo luckily caught the subway doors in time and boarded the subway. He sighed loudly. " Shit that was close." he thought.
He checked the time and saw he actually was going to make it in time. Good , good.
He hoped this meeting went well.
It's not really that bad trying something new every once in a while
Especially if I can do it with you by my side
Rukia was staring out the subway door , her thoughts lost in the man again. Where would she even see such a man? He couldn't exist..
Now, just a little more
Only just a little more
Let's stick together just a little bit longer
Ichigo was lost in thought facing away from the subway door, thinking about the woman again. Where would he even see such a woman? As more time and more dreams went by, he was driving himself insane.
Both subways came to a short stop, loading more people into them, pushing Rukia And Ichigo closer to the subway doors.
Rukia scoffed and tried to catch her balance when she saw it. Her eyes caught his orange hair. She gasped.
Ichigo scowled at some people who had pushed him closer to the subway door. He suddenly felt a spark go through him. Suddenly someone shoved him and he almost lost his balance. He faced away from the crowd and faced the doors instead. He looked up and he saw it.
Her violet eyes wide and staring right at him. He breathed in harshly.
Amber met violet.
They both felt like the world stopped and it was just them alone. Both separated by subway doors staring at each other.
It was like they were always searching for someone.. for each other.
It was her.
It was him.
Oh yes, we are time fliers, so, and I
I knew who you were way before...
Way before I even knew my own name
Ichigo instantly reached for her and she reached for him.
And then they were gone.
Just like that, both subways speed off to their destination, leaving both of them crushed.
Even if you're not around in this wide world
Of course it surely would have some kind of meaning
"No!" she suddenly gasped. " Stop this subway!" she yelled. "Stop !"
Luckily for her, the subway made a quick stop picking up more people.
Rukia rushed out of the subway and tried to think where the other subway would've stopped. She wouldn't let him go. Not when she felt like she has been searching for so long for him.
" Please wait for me."
But if when you're not around in this crazy world
Would be like the month of August without summer break
Ichigo finally felt like he could catch his breath and slammed his fist to the subway door, "No!" he wouldn't let her go. He has been searching for what seems like forever.
"Stop the damn subway!" he yelled. The subway screeched to a stop at its next destination.
Ichigo harshly pushed his way through the crowd, he heard shouts and insults but it all fell on deaf ears.
"Please wait for me."
Nothing mattered to them in that moment, not the interview, not the looks they got, not anything.
Both of them ran around the subway station and around the area looking for one another, "Where are you? Come on, come on..
Rukia nearly passed the staircase at Suga Shrine when she saw a flash of orange at the same time that Ichigo was passing near the pathway upstairs to the shrine.
Both of them were breathing hard like they had ran a marathon. Time stood still as they stood there staring at each other.
Oh yes, we are time fliers
Scaling the walls of time, climber
Tired of playing hide and seek with time and always coming just short
They both took a deep breath and slowly started walking towards each other.
Rukia could feel her heart beating so fast against her chest. Ichigo felt like he could fall from a heart attack at any moment.
She had so many thoughts, so many questions..she couldn't believe it. Here he was standing feet away from her. He was much taller than in her dreams and definitely more toned and stronger. His amber eyes glistered in the sunlight and he had the most interesting scowl on his face yet she wasn't intimated by it.
Ichigo felt his breath be taken away simply by her beauty. Her round sharp face and violet eyes shined in the sunlight. She was much shorter than in his dreams and even more woman like. Almost like in slow motion his heart beat rhymed to the sound of her footsteps coming towards him.
You're quite a showy crier
Want to stop your tears, see your eyes drier
They climbed the stairs, step by step. Rukia kept her eyes straight but wanting so bad to look at him.
Ichigo wanted to reach out and touch her, they were so close to each other. He kept stepping down while she was going up.
Rukia felt her heart crush as they passed each other, the red railing like a wall between them. Does he even know what he is making me feel? Am I just crazy?
"What if I am crazy?" Ichigo thought. There's no way she would even know how she is making me feel.
As he reached the bottom and Rukia at the top of the stairs, Ichigo declared himself a lunatic.
But when I went to wipe your tears dry
You refused but I saw them pouring down your face, I knew why
"Excuse me!" he suddenly shouted. He turned around and faced her " Have I..have we met somewhere?" he asked scowl fully intact.
Crying even when I'm happy
Smiling even when I'm feeling lonely
Rukia softly gasped..did he? She too turned around and faced him , with tears in her eyes she answered , " I...I thought so too".
It's because the heart of mine
Has made it here before my body
Ichigo didn't realize he was holding his breath. There they were... breathing and smiling at each other.
And at the same time, they both took a breath and asked, "Can I ask you, your name?"
The sorrowful gust of wind that blew right between you and me
Where did it find the loneliness it carried on the breeze?
"And that kid, is how I met your okaasan."
"Yuck what a sappy story! I don't believe you traveled back in time! Okasaan! Otousan is a lier!" 7 year old Kenichi Kurosaki shouted.
"Now now , Kenichi, Otousan is telling the truth " 30 year old Rukia Kurosaki answered.
She wrapped her arms around her husband, 27 year old Ichigo Kurosaki and gently whispered in his ear " My name..my name is Rukia Kuchiki."
Wahh! It's over.! Again, this wasn't suppose to be word for word but a beautiful conception of the original "Your Name" movie. I hope you all enjoyed it and I am already on writing my second story of IchiRuki.
I have read many fanfics of Rukia & Ichigo having kids and by far my favorite kid name for them is Kenichi! Thanks to the "OH MY " trilogy fics. Check those out!
See yall soon!
