Shine Bright As the Moon

Rukia P.O.V

Eh? My head screamed as it did back flips. A blush decorated my face as I recapped what I just witnessed. Ichigo got fucking kissed on the lips...by...by a guy! I was getting dangerously dizzy, my feet feeling like they were made of jelly. Confused, angry, jealous, and slightly turned on was what was going through me right now. I mean, I was a fujoshi (1), but seeing it in real life was too much! Not to mention it was with my boyfriend! Gah, I swear thousands of thoughts were zipping through my head.

"Rukia? What're still doing here? I thought you were up there already." Ichigo's voice brought me back to reality, and I winced. I opened up my fists, revealing deep, angry red nail imprints from my nails that were previously stabbing their way through my flesh.

"Say, Ichigo what was that just now?" was all I replied with, and Ichigo went rigid. I raised a eyebrow as I placed a hand on my hip.

"...Let me tell you while we eat, come on." Ichigo sighed, his eyes closed. My eyes narrowed, but I followed him into the elevator nonetheless. While we waited for our floor, the elevator was eerily quiet, but the tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I was standing beside Ichigo, my arms crossed and a frown marring my face. The elevator stopped and the doors opened, Ichigo and I stepping out.

"Hello, do you have reservations sir?" a woman asked politely standing behind a cherry wood podium. Ichigo nodded, and I waited while he told the woman. She looked at her computer, and nodded, grabbing two red leather menus as she directed towards a table facing the city. We both sat down opposite sides of each other, and I turned to look at the view.

The sun had just fallen, casting the city in darkness, with the moon up in the clear black sky shining brightly. My eyes softened, I always loved the moon, I felt a kinship towards it somehow. It wasn't noticed very often due to the busy life below it, but nonetheless it shone brightly every night, proud to be there with all its beauty, illuminating the night. I heard Ichigo clear his throat, and that brought my amethyst eyes to go over to Ichigo. I saw his eyes suddenly shine with something I couldn't read, but it vanished right after it came.

"You probably saw that 'incident' with Grimmjow and I didn't you? And you want to know why he did so, correct?" Ichigo asked. I nodded, propping a hand under my chin.

"Well, Grimmjow as you remember is a fellow model, he is the Sexta Espada in the ranks of the models in Las Noches modeling company. We've been childhood friends for quite some time.. But a few months ago, Grimmjow started acting really weird, especially around me when we were alone. It was a couple of weeks after he almost kissed me that he told me he was gay. I was shocked beyond belief. Then he told me that he had feelings for me...and everything went all weird. Every chance he has he tries to get me to go on a date with him, even though I have told him I'm straight. He just won't fucking give up. And when I dated Rikichi, he always tried to sabotage our dates. I couldn't seriously hurt him though, I mean he's like a brother to me." Ichigo sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Grimmjow... Grimmjow is just being stubborn about it all, he won't get it through his thick skull that I have someone I really like already, God, I always get stuck in this kind of stupid situations." Ichigo narrowed his eyes and turned to face the view, the moonlight illuminating his handsome face. I felt my heart beat a little faster as he said that. "..I have someone I really like already...", That meant he really does like me, that he would never leave me... I couldn't help it. I smiled wide, feeling as bright as the moon. A microphone screech bought us both back to reality, and I realized there was a stage in the middle of the restaurant. A woman was standing there, and she began announcing something.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, thank you for choosing the Bistro for your dinner. For your entertainment, we have a very special guest as a singer, Black Moon!" clapping erupted around us, as the woman left the stage, and the red curtains opened up to reveal a woman in a beautiful satin red dress that clung to every curve of her body, a black lace trim was on top near her well endowed chest, her arms covered by black gloves that reached to her elbows, and her long silky brown hair was curled, flowing behind her. Her eyes first closed, now opened to reveal dazzling magenta, and her red lips opened, she held the microphone, and smiled.

"Thank you everyone for attending, please enjoy my music." her sweet voice drifted into the dining area, and she closed her eyes, and the music began slowly.

""Wakaranai" kore ga kuchiguse datta
hitori de atemonai tabi ni dete ima
chotto ne hohoemi wo ukabeteru
jiyuu ni michi wo eraberu koto ni Ah...

My eyes softened, I loved this song. I had no idea Tsuki was a singer, but she was so good.

..Kazaru koto de kakushite kita damaru koto de tsutaete kitawarau koto de nakitsudzuketa enjiru koto ni ne naresugite ita

Kisetsu ga mata meguri toki wo kizamu
(ichi)byou toshite onaji hibi wa naku
dareka wo mane shinakute ii n' da ne
watashi wa watashi rashiku de
kurikashiteru you de sukoshi zutsu
nani ga tarinai ka wo wakatte yuku
anata to no wakare mo deai zenbu
ima no watashi wo tashika ni tsukutte iru no deshou

I could see other people slowly swaying in the their seats, women staring at her with such admiration for her beauty, and her gracefulness.

"Setsunai" dareka ga tsubuyaita no
subete wo mitasaresugiteta n' da Ah...

Erabu koto de nakushite kita tsukamu koto de hanashite kita
egaku koto de keshitsudzuketa tooku ni kikoeta koe wo sagashite

I looked over to see Ichigo, closing his eyes, a small smile tugging at his lips. He looked so handsome... I reached my hand, and placed it lightly over his. He opened his eyes, and looked over at me, his amber eyes shining in the moonlight. He lifted his hand and held mine tightly, bringing it to his lips and kissing it.

Kisetsu ga mata meguri toki wo kizamu
tada konasu you ni wa naritakunai
iroaseta kono jounetsu no hate ni
michi wa tsudzuite yuku kara
koko kara subete wa hajimatte yuku
ashita kara ja nai ima kono shunkan ni
tsurai koto kanashii koto mo zenbu
jibun dake no monogatari egaite yuku no deshou

Kisetsu ga mata meguri toki wo kizamu
(ichi)byou toshite onaji hibi wa naku
dareka wo mane shinakute ii n' da ne
watashi wa watashi rashiku de
koko kara subete wa hajimatte yuku
ashita kara ja nai ima kono shunkan ni
tsurai koto kanashii koto mo zenbu
jibun dake no monogatari egaite yuku no deshou..."

she stopped, and the crowd clapped loudly, a smile making a way to my face. Tsuki was such a good singer, her voice was beautiful, lifting everyone's spirits.

"I am so glad everyone enjoyed that. Please come back tomorrow at the same time and I will sing another beautiful song for you all." Tsuki spoke into the microphone softly. The crowd clapped once more, as she bowed her brown hair flipped as she turned to leave. The curtain closed behind her, and I got out of my seat.

"Rukia? Where are you going?" Ichigo asked. I turned to him, and smiled.

"Restroom, don't worry, you can start ordering by the way." Ichigo's eyes softened and he nodded. I turned back to leave, and I looked around to try to find Tsuki. I went inside the ladies restroom to find Tsuki there, removing her make-up. She was dressed normally again, in a black dress shirt, with a white ribbon tied around her neck, a white ruffle skirt, and a pair of black stilettos. Her brown hair was left in curled form, but she still happened to look so beautiful. She noticed my presence, and turned to face me. She smiled softly.

"Why hello Rukia. Did you just arrive or were you here this whole time?" Tsuki asked, her eyes shining. I returned the smile.

"I was here the whole time, and I really loved your performance. I had no idea that you sang." Tsuki giggled.

"Well dear, there is a lot that you don't know about me yet. And yes I sing, professionally, but occasionally do I ever perform that much. In fact, this is where I met Byakuya. This exact place, while he was dining, I came out and performed, and he immediately came after me right after the performance."

Flashback...

Tsuki P.O.V

"Ms. Black Moon? May I have a word with you?" I turned around, still in my costume, and smiled. Standing there was a man in his late twenties, wearing quite a expensive suit, his black hair reaching his shoulders, and obsidian eyes staring straight at me. I immediately remembered the man in the crowd, staring at me intently while I was performing.

"Why of course sir. Why would I deny such a handsome man a minor request such as that?" the man merely cleared his throat, and came closer to me. He gently took my gloved hand into his and brought it to his lips.

"I am Byakuya Kuchiki, and I was wondering if such a beautiful woman as yourself would like to accompany me to lunch tomorrow." my eyes were still trained on him, and I smiled.

"But of course, Kuchiki-sama." I bowed respectfully. I felt his hand lift my chin up so I could see him.

"Please, there is no need for you to bow towards me. And please just address me as Byakuya." he slightly smiled. I felt a warm sensation in my heart when he smiled, and I stood back up, and giggled.

"Alright, Byakuya."

Flashback End...

"And ever since then, we've been together for three years." Tsuki sighed, closing her eyes and smiling. I smiled brightly. Tsuki reopened her eyes, and smiled.

"Don't worry, I can see you and Ichigo are going to have a strong bond. So just keep smiling like that. Just like Byakuya and I, you will have each other till the end of time." Tsuki said calmly, shocking me. I suddenly felt tears pricking up in my eyes. Tsuki smiled dazzlingly.

"Yep, keep on smiling. Smile like that and you'll shine brighter than the moon." tears fell fully down on my cheeks, but I didn't mind.

And I smiled my brightest.

Just like the moon.


Aw... I just loved the ending... and I love love love the song Everlasting by Nami Tamaki...so beautiful...
