DICLAIMER:I DON'T OWN BLEACH!TT

Chapter 1

Fateful moment

"So momo…what do you think?" Rukia asked as they continued walking down the busy street.

"hmm? About what?" momo asked as she brushed of some of the dust on her beige coloured Chinese shirt with green lining and sleeves down to her elbows with matching capris with black slippers. Rukia wore the same but with a long skirt and it was a light burgundy colour matching with the lining with black slippers on.

"Well, I've thinking about what auntie Sumeru tol me…"(in a position like this, it would be polite to call Momo's mom auntie and uncle with her dad)Rukia said as she clutched her pendant in her hand.

"You mean about moving back in with the royal family?" Momo said as she looked at Rukia.

"Well yeah, I think I'm ready to go back"

Momo's POV:

I look at her supportively but on the inside as she said those words, a pang of sadness ran through my heart. I can't believe it…ever since I can remember, we have been together, she's always thought about going back but this time, this time she looks determined to go through with it and going back. Sigh well I knew it was coming, I suppose at this point it would just be good to support her decision.

Normal POV:

"Well if you think you're ready and it's really what you want to do then go ahead, I totally support you" Momo said as she put on a smile.

"I suppose I am ready, I mean, I'm 18 and I would like to be with my family, not that you guys aren't" rukia said as she put her finger on her chin as she thought everything over.

"Hey it's royalty, you'll love it! I also here that the two princes there are really cute!" Momo said happily, trying to brighten the mood.

"gasp Momo! If I'm going to live there I want it to be for the proper reasons!"Rukia said very poshly. Momo just laughed.

"I knew you still had still had some of that royal personality in you! But you can't deny it, the princes do look cute!" Momo said half laughing.

Rukia opened her mouth to say something but nothing came to mind, as much as she wanted to deny what she said, it was true, hey! She was a girl after all!

"Well I don't see you running around at the front of the castle gates expressing your love to the princes like all those other girls from town!" Rukia said as she crossed her arms.

"Oh please! I said they were cute I never said I wanted to date them!"

"Wa-wait…why wouldn't you?" Rukia said questioningly. Momo just scoffed.

"Isn't it obvious? Their royalty…no offence to you of course when I say this but, they're born there I betcha they're just stuck up prisses who don't know how to relax or understand the meaning of hard work"

"Well I guess I'll have to see for myself before I make that assumption if I ever decide to go there" Rukia said as she relaxed a bit more.

Rukia's POV:

Sigh I'm so glad to have her as a friend, it's the only problem I have with leaving well besides the fact that I have to get this plan of mine in motion. I don't even know if I will even ever get the chance to show grandpa Yamamoto my pendant…well I'm sure everything will come along in time.

Normal POV:

"So have you talked to my parents?" Momo said as she calmed down a bit from her rant.

"Yeah, they said whenever I was ready I'd be welcome to leave or come back for that matter" Rukia said as she snapped out of her daze.

"Alright then, so when do you want to go to the emperor?" Momo questioned.

"I don't know…I haven't even thought about how I am even going to even see him…"

"You know, I heard a few of the imperial guards say that the emperor was coming around here with the princes" Momo said as they walked into their house, they both waved to Kiyo and Sumeru who were still working in front of their house selling fruits and herbs. Momo's parents both smiled and waved to them and continued to work.

"Wait, why are they coming here?" Rukia asked

"Well I didn't here much, just that they're coming here" Momo said tiredly as she ploped onto her bed, the sun was about 1-quarter set (let's pretend that 5:00).

"Do you know when they're coming here?" Rukia asked a bit nervously as she sat on her bed with Momo.

"Dunno, most likely in a few days, I heard about it just yesterday so I'm sure the guards would have gotten some notice"

"Oh ok, well do you think I should show them my pendant?" Rukia asked as she got up.

"Sure! But don't get your hope up, we may not even see them, but we have always had luck on our side." Momo said, trying to not be a downer.

"Oh yeah! My mom said we got to go down to the forest, she wants us to grab some kyohaku leaves for some tea" Momo said as she got of the bed to change into her night clothes.

"Sure!" Rukia said as she changed into her night clothes as well.

At the palace:

"So Ichigo…where are we going tomorrow again?" Toshirou asked as he continued to write on a piece of parchment paper. Ichigo stepped away from the painting on the wall and leaned against the desk Toshirou was sitting at.

"Hmm? Oh your gramps wants to take us out to the central town's forest to do some hunting or something like that…"Toshirou just scoffed as he put his brush down.

"Why? We don't even like hunting and it's pointless and I still have work to do" Toshirou just sighed heavily as he crossed his arms and leaned back into his chair. Ichigo just laughed. Toshirou raised his eyebrow at his sudden outburst.

"You seriously need a girlfriend, you're so work oriented!" Toshirou just scowled at the thought.

"that's the last thing I need!" As he said this Ichigo just started laughing harder.

"Yeah after what happened the last time huh?"

Ichigo said as they both thought back at the time a few weeks ago when Toshirou's mom decided he needed a girlfriend. Everyone who came there to try and win over Toshirou's heart were just ogling at his good looks, squeeling in delight of just being in his presence and they don't even know the first thing about him! Toshirou shivered at the thought of another turn out like that.

"Tch…whatever! Like you're one to talk, I don't see you running around here with a girl around your arm, and aren't we forgetting about the time that girl from town that snuck into the side of the catsle and yelled 'I LOVE YOU KUROSAKI ICHIGO!!'" Toshirou smirked triumphantly.

"Oi! Shut up you!" Ichigo yelled as Toshirou just walked away to his bedroom to sleep.

Ichigo just stuck out his tongue in his direction and went to his room which was across from Toshirou's.(if anyone's wondering, the guys are 18 as well)

The next day…

"You ready Rukia?"

"Yup!"

Momo and Rukia stepped out of their houses front door and headed down to the forest. As did the emperor and the two princes.

"Toshirou, don't think of this as a waste of time, think of it as a break from all the guards!" Ichigo said as he moved his horse along side with Toshirou's while Yamamoto was still of the other side of Ichigo starring of into the distance.

"I guess you're right, I might ass well enjoy the time I have without those annoying paranoid people who call themselves guards…honest;y why do we even have them if we can defend ourselves?…"

"Hey it's just how this royalty thing works I guess…" Ichigo said as he continued to ride on his horse along side the emperor and Toshirou.

As the two girls walked to the heart of the forest with fresh kyohaku leaves in hand(well in a basket) they decided to take a short cut through the other side of the forest.

"Aah!" Rukia yelled as she suddenly tripped on a covered rock on the floor and her pendant suddenly fell of.

"Rukia! Are you ok?" Momo said as she ran to her.

"Yeah I'm fine but my pendant fell off!" Rukia said I she was looking through the tall grass.

"I'm sure it's somewhere around here…" Momo said as she began to search the ground with Rukia. Suddenly Momo saw a sparkle on the ground.

"Oh!" Momo reached out and grabbed the object which was her pendant and she raised it above her head waving to her.

"I found it Rukia!"

"Oh what a relief!" Rukia said as she walked towards her friend.

"hey Toshirou I see something moving over in your direction!" Ichigo yelled.

"Gotcha…" Toshirou grabbed his bow and aimed at the rustling he saw in the grass, he released his arrow.

Rukia turned around as she saw the arrow and her eyes widened.

"WATCH OUT!!"
