Kiss It Better
"What did you do this time?" Ichigo asked, sighing as Rukia showed him her finger, which she was holding a washrag over. Said washrag was covered in blood, as the cut underneath was deep. Ichigo made her sit down as he removed the washrag. Rukia winced and closed her eyes for a second before opening them again to find Ichigo, scowling, staring at her finger. He reached out his other hand and pressed her slim finger in between his. The cut moved apart and Ichigo could see the bone; it was deep.
"Ouch! That hurts, baka!" Rukia yelled, trying to pull her hand back. But Ichigo had a strong hold on it.
"You cut it down to the bone; what the hell happened?"
Rukia muttered something under her breath that he didn't hear.
"Huh?"
"I said, I was cooking and the knife slipped."
"Can't you heal it?"
Rukia shook her head. "No. I spent too much of my strength healing you last night, and until some of my power returned from last night, I'm afraid I'm too week to even heal my finger."
Ichigo sighed and pressed the cut closed again, causing Rukia to wince.
"Come on into the bathroom, I'll stitch it up."
Rukia nodded and stood to her feet, following Ichigo into the bathroom and sitting on the closed toilet. He began shuffling through the cupboards and finally found what he was looking for.
"We need to clean it first. Take the washrag away and hold it over the sink, OK? And this might sting."
Rukia raised an eyebrow. Ichigo shrugged and poured some of the disinfectant over her cut.
"Ouch!" Rukia yelled, pulling her finger pack, causing blood and the clear liquid that was slowly rolling off of her finger to mix together and fall to the floor. "What the hell was that?"
Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"It's a cleaner. It'll keep the wound from getting infected. Now, give your hand back; your finger needs more."
Rukia glared at him and shook her head. There was no way she was going to let him do that again. He put his hands on his hips and glared right back. Rukia knew that she could stare him in the eye for as long as she wanted, but the stinging pain in her finger was getting worse, and she wanted it to stop. So, she sighed and said,
"Fine. But tell me when you're gonna do that, OK?"
Ichigo nodded. And poured more on her finger, knowing that he didn't have to tell her then as she was staring at her finger, ready for the pain. When it landed on the open, deep cut, she winced but didn't yell.
"OK. I'm done. Now, I need to stitch it."
Rukia nodded and Ichigo sat down on the bathtub next to her and began. It took a total of ten minutes, six stitches and a very much in pain Rukia to finish. The cut, which had gone from the middle of her finger up to the top of it, was closed and Ichigo was beginning to wrap gauze around it. Rukia asked,
"If you kiss something, will it really feel better?"
Ichigo was surprised at the question, and didn't bother hiding said surprise.
"Why the hell would you ask a question like that?"
Rukia shrugged.
"Some girls at school said it. So, will it feel better?"
"No, I doubt it. Girls are dumb."
Rukia hit him and he mumbled under his breath as he continued wrapping her finger.
"Will you try?"
Ichigo raised his eyebrows at her, a disbelieving look on his face.
"Why?"
"Because you made it hurt in the first place."
"No, you did, by cutting it," Ichigo pointed out, grabbing some tape to finish it, but as he was about to put the tape on, the gauze fell off. He groaned.
"You poured that crap on it. And it hurt," Rukia said. Ichigo sighed.
"Fine. Just shut up."
Ichigo quickly kissed her finger before finishing the wrapping. After he taped it on, he walked out, pulling Rukia with him. She smiled, thanked him, and disappeared into her closet. Ichigo flopped back down on his bed.
And her finger did feel better. But not because it had been kissed . . . but because it had been kissed by him.
Well, it was short, but personally, I liked it. I don't think it's one of my best, but I still liked it. :D
