Chapter 10

While Renji had a day of frustration, Ichigo and Rukia's day was peaceful, that was, after Rukia had someone calmed him. She panicked at first they hands were still entwined, she pulled away, and then saw Ichigo's honey colored eyes that were once full with joy and laughter had been replaced with dull brown full with hatred…Was it because she pulled away? If not what eyes was he mad about? So to avoid anything, she instantly looked down.

As if reading her mind Ichigo spoke softly "It's okay, I'm not made at, you I'm still mad at myself, for not doing anything, mad at Byakuya, Rukia…I know you might've heard this before maybe but I'm going to say it. Look at me Rukia" He had said placing his index finger under her chin raising it up finally look at her dead in the eye and continued "I'm not going to let me touch you, come near you Rukia...Not while I'm still standing…I don't want you to be alone tomorrow in this apartment all by yourself, so get up bright an early, cuz you're coming to work with me" he said as a smile had plastered his face.

"Wow Ichigo, you can change your mood instantly" Rukia sweat dropped. For the rest of the day the two had just sat there watching the film, but then suddenly the two had ignored the movie and had started talking about their lives. Well, it was mainly Ichigo who had done the talking, but Rukia answered the odd question here and there.

She had found out a lot about Ichigo in the hours that had flown by. She found out that he has two younger sisters who are twins, Yuzu and Karin, his father was a nutcase and stupid but he had his serious and caring moments and was always there for his sisters and himself. She had found out that Ichigo's mother had died when he was a child. He friends, lot like his father were all nut cases in their own ways. He had also mention about his work life and told her what to do at the place and what not to do.

The two of them were there for hours, night had quickly fell and the two of them failed to realize that the film had finished hours ago. Ichigo yawned, stood up and stretched and said:

"Wow! How long we been sitting here it's 11 c'mon we better go to bed I'll wake you up tomorrow okay?" Ichigo had said and walked off to his room while Rukia just gave a small nod.

As she was sure Ichigo was in his room, she quietly waked to her and shut the door walking over to the bed. She sat on the bed, looked up to the ceiling and thought:

Yeah, tomorrow….

-Tommorow-

Ichigo's alarm had woken him up at 7:30 he'd have another hour before he would have to get to work oh yeah, Rukia's gotta get ready too! Ichigo had then jumped off his bed and walked over to his wardrobe, putting on his usual attire and walked over to Rukia's room and knocked on the door.

"Hey Rukia…you up?" He asked. He got no reply, so he opened the door. This time her saw that Rukia had slept on the bed, but with no quilt and it look like she was going to freeze to death, it was winter and the apartment gets cold at nights, he'd have to remind himself to tell Rukia that.

He was about to wake her up when he remembered what happened last time, and the events that followed. He took a step back wondering how he was going to wake her up. Pulling himself together and walked back to the bed where Rukia laid, he had touched her shoulder, it was like touching ice, cold, yet her skin was soft and delicate, luckily the girl has not got any scars from what Ichigo could see, just the odd bruises here and there on her legs, and the rope burns around her ankles.

Ignoring the pain in his chest that was increasing, he managed to whisper "Rukia" while she just mumbles something.

"Hey Rukia, wake up already!" Ichigo had said in a louder voice, just loud enough to wake up Rukia. Her eyes now wide as she seen Ichigo's face an inch or so away from her face, she screamed and jumped up hitting Ichigo on the head at the same time

"Okay, now that was a wakeup call…" Ichigo mumbled while rubbing his forehead.

"You're telling me..." Rukia whispered and rolled her eyes why mimicking Ichigo's action and rubbed her forehead also and slowly drifting back off to the land of dreams.

"Don't go back to sleep now Rukia! C'mon!" Ichigo said as he grabbed her by the shoulder and started shaking her, making the poor girl dazed.

"OK! OK! OK! I'm up!" she shouted, Ichigo had stopped shaking her and finally led her out the apartment.

"Ichigo..I haven't had any breakfast, were we going?" Rukia complained like a three-year old, due to being around Ichigo for almost two days, was it possible that her personality was starting to show again? She had almost forgotten she even had one.

The two of them had arrived to the clinic at about 8:10; they still had some time before they Ichigo had to start work. So like when they had met, just a day ago, Ichigo had gently grasped a hold of Rukia's hand and walked off to the cafeteria. There he found Sue, and she instantly smiled.

"What's up Ichigo? You're here a lil' early don't ya think?" She asked

"Well, yeah, that's only because I wanted breakfast here, no big deal" He replied casually.

"See you've brought your girlfriend" Sue said and as if on cue Ichigo's and Rukia's face's lit up and Ichigo sweat dropped.

"I've thought we've been through this she is not my girlfriend!" Ichigo shouted.

"Then why do I always see the two of you holding hands" Sue smirked, score for Sue 1. Score of Ichigo 0.

"Just, shut up and give us the usual Sue" Ichigo mumbled while he heard Sue's crackling laugh from the kitchen. Ichigo led Rukia to the table and they both sat down.

By now Sue had come out from the staff kitchen and brought them out what they had yesterday, and the two of them ate in silence, it was only when they head a high-pitched voice that broke the silence.
