Chapter 5

"Rukia, it's getting late, we should head back." Ichigo sighed; he was holding tonnes of shopping bags, which were all the stuff that Rukia bought, some for herself, but the rest for her friends.

"Just one more thing to buy." Rukia replied as she walked to a store. Ichigo followed her as they arrived to an appliance store.

"You need a phone?" Ichigo asked. Rukia nodded as she looked into the display benches. She scanned through the display benches as Ichigo took out his phone. He checked through his settings and asked the workers if they had the exactly same phone. The worker took out a few boxes and showed it to him. His phone was black, Ichigo thought a pure white one will be pretty and it will fit Rukia. He took out his credit card and paid for the phone without even letting Rukia noticing. "Rukia, let's get going." Ichigo grabbed onto her arm and pulled her outside of the store.

"Ichi-Ichigo! I haven't got my phone yet." Rukia yelled as she started to struggle from Ichigo's force.

"I got it for you. Just need to buy one more thing." Ichigo smiled as Rukia stopped her struggling. She let Ichigo hold her hand as they walked to a store full of plush toys. Ichigo scanned through as he found a small chappy key ring and paid. He got out the phone and helped Rukia set up everything and attached the chappy key ring on it. "Rukia, a present for you. Congratulations for recovering." Ichigo spread out another bright smile as he dropped the pure white phone in Rukia's hands.

Rukia looked up to Ichigo as they both decided to head back to the hospital. She looked through her phone and noticed that Ichigo has already saved a bunch of numbers in the phone, including her number and his.

"Ichigo… Thanks… again." Rukia spread out a faint smile as she took hold on Ichigo's hand. Ichigo blushed, ignoring Rukia. But she knew that he didn't mean to ignore her. She felt happiness, that once was gone, but now, it is back.

"Rukia, it's morning. I got your breakfast for you."Ichigo placed the tray of food on the desk as he opened the curtains. The bright sunlight shined into the violet eyes, forcing her to wake up. "Wakey wakey." Ichigo poked her forehead as he started to read one of his books.

Rukia sat up slowly as she rubbed her eyes. She took her brand new phone and checked the time. It showed 6.00am.

"What?! Why did you wake me up this early, Ichigo!" Rukia yelled after seeing the time.

"Huh? Look at the time. It's already 11.00am, Rukia." He stood up and grabbed his phone which was charging in the bathroom. He unplugged the charger and showed the time right in front of Rukia's face. "Look, 11.00am."

Rukia stared at the phone as she checked on her phone. "Ichigo, how do I change the time? This is different from my old one so I don't know much." Rukia stared at Ichigo innocently with her phone in her hands.

"Go and wash up first. I will teach you after you finish your breakfast." Ichigo answered. Rukia hopped off the bed and went into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her hair grew a bit longer; her face was still a bit pale. She looked a bit different from her usual self, it has been some time that she as seen herself in a mirror again. She splattered cold water on her face as started to brush her teeth.

It was a usual day like the others. Rukia just sit in her room, lying down or reading a book. Ichigo always sat next her bed either reading or eating or doing some school work. It was boring, but that was all you can do in a hospital. Sometimes in a while a nurse will come in and ask some conditions of Rukia to make sure the accurate date she could get out from the hospital.

The day just passed like this, every day was like this.

Time passed by, it has been another month, without even noticing how many books that has been bought, how many movies they had watched together, how many nights spend in this trapped hospital. Until one day, one of the doctors who were taking care of Byakuya rushed into Rukia's room.

"Kuchiki-san! Kurosaki-san!" The doctor rushed in, trying to catch his breath. Ichigo and Rukia both stopped what they were doing and stared at the doctor with confusion. "Kuchiki… Kuchiki Byakuya-san has recovered from the extreme condition. He can know be transferred into a normal room. However, it would take quite a period of time to let him get out of hospital." Rukia smiled as Ichigo sighed with relief. Ichigo helped Rukia out of bed as the doctor led them to Byakuya's room.

The doctor opened the door for them and left to look after other patients. Rukia ran towards the bed, where Byakuya was looking out into the window.

"Rukia." Byakuya spoke. His voice was in a calm and demanding tone as usual. His health has been recovered completely. All he needed to is to keep up this health so he can get out of the hospital soon enough.

"Nii-sama, are you fine?" Rukia asked as she sat down on a chair next to Byakuya. He nodded silently as he looked towards Ichigo.

"Kurosaki, have you been taking care for Rukia?" Byakuya asked, Ichigo just nodded and stared at him. "I appreciate your help." Byakuya replied as he closed his eyes. Rukia stood up as she pushed Ichigo and herself out of the room. She closed the door silently behind her as they both headed back to her room.

"Rukia, it's a relief that Byakuya has recovered right?" Ichigo asked as he helped Rukia back onto her bed again. Rukia smiled as she nodded. She was very happy that her brother has recovered. It was a relief. She couldn't live anymore if Byakuya left her alone in this world. After a while, the same doctor came in as he asked Ichigo to sign off something and left the room.

"What was that for?" Rukia asked as she grabbed onto her book again, searching through the pages for the chapter she was up to.

"I don't know. I didn't read it." Ichigo shrugged his shoulders as he searched through his bag full of sweets and snacks. "Want some?"

Rukia looked, "I prefer fruits. I'm still recovering. I'm saying no to all sweets and snacks." Rukia spoke. She opened her book again as the doctor went in the room again.

"Kuchiki-san, it has been verified that your health is fully recovered and it is said to be that you don't have to stay in the hospital anymore." The doctor smiled as he gave Rukia a bag of things. "Congratulations. Kurosaki-san has just signed for you for letting you go back to home and here's a present for congratulating you to recover from everyone in the hospital. We wish you will have a healthy and happy life." He left the room and called for someone to help Rukia for packing up.

Ichigo handed Rukia a set of clothes for her to change. She was still in the clothes that patients wear. He took her belongings and placed them carefully in a cardboard box with the nurse helping him.

"You really care about your girlfriend, Kurosaki-san. I believe that all girls want a boyfriend like you." The nurse smiled as she placed the last few of Rukia's belongings into the box.

"W-What?! I'm not Rukia's boyfriend. We were only school mates!" Ichigo denied the nurse's statement and closed the cardboard box shut. Rukia walked out of the bathroom with a pure white one piece dress with black sandals. She bowed to the nurse and thanked her for helping as the nurse stopped a taxi for them.

"Rukia, where do you live?" Ichigo asked as he placed the box at the back of the car.

"I live overseas… We used to rent in an apartment but since nee-san's death, the contract is broke. So that's why I was thinking of searching for any places to rent after I get out of hospital." She replied as the two sat in the taxi. Ichigo stayed silent for a bit and spoke out an address to the driver. "Where's that, Ichigo?"

"My place. You don't mind staying at my place right?" Ichigo asked as the car started driving.

Rukia stared blankly. W-What?!
