Chapter 13: Fifteen-Year Grudge

Rukia P.O.V

"Kuchiki-san." a soft voice called eyes drifted towards the door, my slim fingers never leaving the smooth keyboard. Peeking her small head out of the slit of the slightly ajar mahogany-framed glass doors, her round dark-chocolate orbs smiling sweetly at me. Her before lightly tan skin now a ghostly pale, her cheeks hollow from not malnutrition, make her body look more frail and weak. I smiled back Hinamori, she was such a bright ball of light before that happened to her.

Apparently, she was seeing someone not too long ago. Only a month ago, she was ecstatic that she was able to find someone she loved. I was happy for her. That was until she introduced to the 'man of her dreams'. I couldn't stand the bastard. He pretended to love Momo just for her money, always cooing to her about how beautiful she is even though I knew he didn't feel that way. I did a background check on him–compliments of Nii-sama– and the fucking asshole had a wive and two kids back in Osaka. I confronted him, by that I mean I kicked his sorry-ass into the next ring of Hell, and told him to stay away from Momo. All he did was grin at me. I was tempted to rip his lips right off his face. Then...the next day Nii-sama called me and said Momo was in the hospital for serious injuries due to being beaten and raped. Anger flared through my body faster than a fire in a room covered in gasoline. I immediately raced to see her, and Kami, when I saw her, I was tempted to literally run all the way to Osaka and fucking castrate that guy and make sure even a speck of him was wiped out from the entire fucking planet. She was pale, trembling like something was continuously shaking her harshly, her pupils dilated, and tears leaking out of her baggy eyes. I ran over and embraced her tightly, telling her everything was going to be okay. Her only response was to sob harshly into my chest and continue trembling. Eventually Nii-sama found the guy, and man I was glad I was not him. Sentenced for life to prison, along with 8 extra years of very, very strict probation.

"Momo, I told you already, call me Rukia. Now what is it?" I softly scold her. She gave me a weak smile, the bags still under her eyes from constant nightmares. She fully stepped into the room, her body even smaller than before.

"R-Right, sorry Rukia-chan." That's a step better I guess.. I sigh, "Do you want to get a coffee? Right now? I'm free." I smile.

"Sure. Let's go." She beamed and lightly skipped out of the office. I sigh, Momo is very social, so she mainly only has me for a friend. Besides from this mysterious 'Shiro-chan' whom she talks to quite a lot on the phone.

I sip the heavenly taste of my French Vanilla frappe. I exhale, the warmth of my beloved drink giving me an energy boost. I beam at Momo, who was tentatively was stirring her steaming hot cocoa, the adorably-shaped heart and bunny marshmallows turning into distorted white shapes floating on top of the dark brown surface. My smile falling as I take in her solemn expression on her pale heart-shaped face, I reach out to grasp her free hand which was laid limply on top of the table. She jumped as if electrocuted, her drink spilling in the process. Her eyes widened, and she immediately babbled many 'sorry's', jumping away from the table and running to the woman's restroom to wash away the hot cocoa.

"My, my. Look at the mess. Your friend is such a clumsy girl." a voice piped up behind me. Turning to see who spoke, I came face-to-face with bright autumn orange eyes that burned brightly. A smile made way to her small thin lips. Smooth, shiny dark violet hair framed her small face, the rest of her hair was put up in a ponytail, a crimson bow tied in place to keep it up. My eyes narrowed deeply as realization dawned on me. The girl that competed with me in everything and beat me, the girl that stole my first boyfriend, the girl that was more popular than I was, the girl who was even worse than Orihime, the girl that became a famous movie star, the girl that bullied me since I was 7 years old.

Senna.

"...What are you doing here in Tokyo, Senna-san?" I tried to not hiss as I spoke. She hopped on one leg, her hair bobbing up and down. She placed a small pointer finger to her chin and made a thoughtful face.

"Hmm, what am I doing here?" She removes her finger and points it towards me. I growl low in my throat as she raises her head and smirks.

"Ne, I thought you were smart enough to know Ru-ki-a-chan." She emphasized each syllable of my name playfully like a child. I frowned deeply at her. She closed her eyes and grinned.

"Guess not. That's a shame." She opened her eyes, her bright orange eyes now a dark vermillion.

"Ichigo Kurosaki is engaged to me now."
