A/N
I personally don't think that my story, Inner Feelings, is going particularly well so I'm no longer going to be updating it. Seeing as its no longer going on, I thought I might as well reveal the basic story line to tie up all the loose ends: Rukia and Ichigo meet, fall in love but try to keep their feelings to themselves. Ichigo gets a job where Rukia works, but eventually makes her lose her job, she vows never to love him again. Ichigo does multiple things to make her love him again, and eventually her true feelings surface and the start going out.
Anyway, here is my first one-shot!
Broken Promises
Intro:
The night breathed through the apartment like a dark animal. The ticking of a clock. The groan of a floorboard as she slipped out of her room. All was drowned by the silence. But Rukia loved the night. She felt it on her skin like a promise. Like a cloak woven from freedom and danger.
Outside, the stars were paled by the glaring lights of the city, and the large apartment was stained with her brother's anger. He did not wake as she stole past his room toward the front hall.
I can't believe it actually came to this. I never wanted to do this to him, but I have no longer have a choice…..Rukia thought as she carefully opened a drawer. The key lay right next to the pills her brother took. Its cool metal nestled in her palm as she stepped back out into the dark corridor.
With the key now in her pocket, she silently rushed back to her room and took a large, full backpack from under her bed, and slipped it onto her shoulders.
I have what I need. Its finally time to do it. And with that, she went to the front door, unlocked it, and slipped unprotected into the shadows of Karakura City.
