P.O.V. Ichigo

Waking up in a soft warm bed is one thing, then again waking up on the hard ground is another. Was i out all night? If so someone must be looking for me. Thats fantastic...the last thing I truely need is someone worrying about me. But I guess the night wasnt all bad. No I take that back. Was I dreaming when I met HER? That gypsy, whats her name? I have forgoten. Oh I will remember it later. If I even want to remember.

As I got up, my legs felt shaking so I almost fell. But someone caught me. I look over to see a woman. "Careful there." I turn to glance at her, and it was the same gypsy that I had met last night. "You're that Gypsy I met last night aren't you?" she nods then lets go of my arm. "Right you are. I though you went back up to your castle. I suppose I was wrong."

"Wrong you are. Why are you following me?"

"I wasn't. I was simply looking out for you. I forgot to tell you, some gaurds were out looking for you at dawn." That is obvious, of course. My father would have sent out guards to look for me. My father isn't the king anymore. He stepped-down off the thrown after I turned the age of fifteen years. Always at the break of dawn. Wait, dawn? How long have I been lieing here? "Gypsy did you say dawn?"

"I told you, my name is Rukia not 'Gypsy'. And yes right as the sun rose over the horizon. It's close to Mid-day now."

"I have to go now. Thank you gypsy." I started to walk away, but she was following me. So origanal for a Gypsy. I continued to walk, but I glanced back at her. Then what she was wearing was now clear: The colors were a light leaf green, light and dark blue. Plus a peice of black cloth running around her waist, which was slender...stop it kurosaki! She is a Gypsy not a noble! She was barefoot, I am surprised that that doesnt hurt her feet. Her bracelets were gold, as well as well as her ankle bracelets. Her necklace was very loose on her neck, but its silver chain was very stunning. On the end of the silver chain was a amber stone. Her top, which was blue, green, and black only came down to her rib cage, then stopped. Her skin color was almost cream-white. "Why are you following me Gypsy?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm just a little bored." Didn't she have something better to do than follow me? Of course not. I glance back at her once more, and thats when it hit me how skinny she accualy was. Like she was starving...under-fed. When she caught up to me, her movement was very graceful. "Please stop following me Gypsy."

"For the last time my name is Rukia not 'Gypsy'."

"If you keep following me the guards will suspect."

"Except I am more clever than them. I can diappear in a heart-beat!"

"Then disappear now!" As I said so, guards started to shout, apparently at her. "You best run Gypsy. They will get you someday. If you don't want that to happen, I suggest you get away from me and my kingdom."

"I don't think so your 'Highness'." She suddenly darts away from me, and runs the guards chasing after her. When running she is even more graceful. She slipped through the crouds with ease, it almost seems as if she wasn't touching them at all. "Stop!" The guards kept shouting, trying to catch her again and again. I watched her until she was out of my sight. I then turned around and walked to my castle. As I walked through the gates, my father greeted me. Not warmly at all. "Son where have you been? You worried me half to death!"

"My apologies father. I was out for a walk when I, fell asleep." he gave me a harsh look, then sent me to my room.

I lie here in my bed, staring up at the roof, when I am suddenly called down stairs. I couldn't get her out of my mind. Rukia, the Gypsy. I walk down stairs, to see guards standing with someone in-between them. They are holding the persons arms rather tightly. My father infront of the figure. As I got closer I could see clearly it was a woman, with black hair. She looks very familiar, almost like I have known her from somewhere. A thought struck my head: Was it the Gypsy? No it couldn't be. She was well ahead of the guards when I saw her last. Even closer, it was clear: It was the Gypsy. "Sir we found the Gypsy who was trying to steal from you."

Her arms were red, from the guards holding her so tightly. I felt pity for her. "Thank you, you and my father may leave, I would like a word with her for a minute or two." They all nod, my father giving me a quick glance. I wait till i can hear the door close to begin to speak to her. "Gypsy what happened?"

"I took a wrong turn. I ended at a dead end in an alleyway. By the I was far to tired to run any longer." She looks up at me. "Sorry if I caused any trouble sir." I laughed a little bit. "You don't have to call me that Rukia."

"Then what should I call you then?"

"Just call me Ichigo. Ichigo Kurosaki."
