The door sounded-off banging.
"ICHIGO?!" Uryu and Inoue both had a wide-eye in shock.
He wore a torn angry face and grabbed Inoue to the ribbon of her uniform. "WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, ORIHIME…SAY IT'S A LIE! SAY IT!" he was screaming as he tried to force her spit out the words. But Inoue only looked down the floor showing an indirect pity.
"ARE YOU NUTS?! LET HER GO, KUROSAKI!" Uryu shouted pulling Ichigo's grasp on Inoue. Ichigo started loosening his grip of her and stared blankly to a surface.
"Where ...is…she…Rukia?" his voice shatters in question. Orihime felt him shivering. She wanted to hols him back for her own except she knew deep inside her that it wouldn't help him in anyway. "She's wait…waiting for you n the rooftop." Hearing this he ran as quick as he can to get to the stairs.
…
"Looks like its going to rain and … he's late. oOH! ICHIGO, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS WHEN YOU GET HERE!"
Subsequently, she heard the rooftop door clangs its metal coat as it thumps on the wall.
"Ichigo…?" she let go off the rails and faced him. "Hey…you scared me there. You were late, you admit? But you didn't had to almost raze the door." And she smiled nevertheless, she was scared when she stared at him like there was a hollow before her.
"What's wrong? You're staring …do you know? It's giving me the creeps so stop, ok?"
Ichigo winks away that gloomy stare he was giving her. "Rukia…are we in a hurry?"
"No, I don't think so…why?"
"Nothing… UHM! Why don't we take the long way home, ok?" and he said that with a wide smile on his face.
They have come walking along the river which was close to home.
"You're so quiet…yet you're the one who wanted to take the long way home…" She continued to take steps that she didn't notice Ichigo stopped. And when he did a serious face was drawn all over his face. And when she went round…
"Ichi…"
"Rukia…you're not going away, right? You won't leave me or will you?"
And there were rumblings in the sky darkened as time passed. Rain sets to drop from light to heavy. They got drenched fast it pours into the ground.
"What are you saying? Who's leaving you…me? I'm not …"
"DON'T JOKE AROUND ME! YOU THINK I'M STUPID! YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T KNOW! OH…yeah…I guess you did think that way, huh? But…BUT HERE'S TO WHAT! I KNOW YOU'VED BEEN ORDERED TO RETURN TO SOUL SOCIETY AND THAT THIS TIME YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN…YOU…YOU DIDN'T TOLD ME."
"YES! I DID TRY NOT TO TELL, TO HIDE IT FROM YOU BECAUSE I HAVE TO! I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU SO…"
"BUT I'VE BEEN HURT AND ACTUALLY RIGHT NOW I'M HURTING…HURTING!"
He went in front Rukia take hold of her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
"Rukia it would go …this pain…just tell me you won't go." He said in a sympathetic voice yet, hopeful eyes. However, Rukia restrained her voice and stared at him appearing to be determined. Ichigo could not make any complains because he knew right then that he wouldn't be able to change her mind. He let go off her and went on ahead. Her heart seemed to break when he crossed the line. Rukia ogled blankly in the air. When she could no longer sense him around, she felt her knees trembling down to his feet. All she possibly wills to stop it was to kneel down. When she did kneel, the quivering crawled up to her whole body and tears followed through. She was left crying, trembling out in the rain.
