I decided to continue this story.

This time it tells Rukias feelings after she met Ichigo^^

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters in this story. They belong to Kubo Tite and him alone^^(sadly, I might add)

Anyways, enjoy reading^^

2. Who?

She was confused. Her head throbbed like crazy as her mind circled around one single thought. Who? Who was this boy I had met earlier?

She winced, grabbing her head in an effort to calm herself.

Why does it feel like I know him? She wondered. And why did this guy know her name in the first place? She was never one to blurt her name out, she was never one to trust that easily. And besides, I can't even think of one occasion or single event where I SAW him, yet alone talked with this guy.

So why, does it upset me so much? Why does it feel like... like I lost something important? Why do I keep thinking about him? "Just WHAT does this guy mean to me?" She shouted in frustration.

She closed her eyes as another wave of pain shot through her head. Pictures swam in her mind. Confusing pictures. They were unclear, without color. A boy with Orange hair. The same boy she had met just seconds before. He smiled at her, furrowing his brows at the same time.

Subconsciously, a smile lighted her face, as she saw that picture. "I always loved that smile, you know?" she whispered to no one in particular. Another wave of pain, another picture. She was looking him deep in the eyes. He looked determined back. Wait, was is this? Is that...really me? Why am I pointing a sword at his chest? Where did I get it from?Her mind swirled as her vision started to get blurry. When and where did this happen?

Then she blacked out.

~dream~

He looked at her, a pained expression on his face. "Rukia....you don't remember me?" His question left her heart twisting painfully. Why? She desperately tried to remember. Nothing. "Who are you?" she demanded again and felt her heart twist uncomfortably as she watched the boys pained face and his eyes, which suddenly looked lifeless. "Why do you know my name?" "I-Its me, Ichigo! Don't you remember?"

"Ichigo..." she whispered and her head started to throb. She sank to her knees. Then they were there. They stood protectively in front of her. A boy with black hair and a red scythe and a blonde girl. The people who she lived with.

The boy had started fighting against the orange haired boy. The other boy had kept staring at her, screaming her name and pleading her to remember something that didn't happen in the first place, didn't it? Then her friends had fled with her.

~end dream~

She opened her eyes and bolted upright, into a sitting position. What happened? Oh, yeah, I had collapsed from that terrible headache. She blinked in surprise as she felt something wet slid down her face. Wait... am I crying?

"Rukia!" came a cheery voice. She finally managed to focus her eyes. She was in a small hut, their hut, on a futon. The owner of the cheery voice, the blonde, was hurrying towards her. "You woke up!" She exclaimed happily and hugged Rukia, sobbing. Rukia helplessly patted her back, sending the boy who had followed her close behind, a questioning glare.

"You collapsed." he explained. "We were worried about you. She" he looked at the girl still hugging Rukia "...was so worried that I thought I'd take her out for a while, to distract her" he squatted down beside them and placed his hand gently on the blondes shoulder. "She's alright, sister, don't cry anymore" He looked at Rukia "You are, are you?" "Yes", she answered, nodding.

The girl finally let go of her, wiping her face. She had stopped crying. "What happened, Rukia?" She asked, anxiously.

"Nothing. I just... thought about that guy we met" Rukia saw the girls face grimace in annoyance at the boys mention and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'm alright now".

Unnoticed by them, she furrowed her brows and for a moment, a pained expression showed on her face, before she regained her composure again.
