Anyways, that song I was singing up there was 'Speechless' by Lady Gaga.

Sorry for my long period of absence, at first I was being lazy then my computer crashed so yeah, computer crash = shit and me throwing it out the window.

It's not my fault, I swear, so now I'm trying to make up for it, I'm already feeling the symptoms of yeah…and WHY WON'T MY PAPER GANGSTER LOAD?!

Just ignore that…

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, if I did…oh em gee, there would be a lot I would change, but I like it the way it is.

As she crossed her bare legs and instantly darted her eyes across the room and heard the resounding shower and looked down at the screen. Using her long nails to scroll down on her blackberry and saw the text her sister gave her.

'You better come to work today, we need to hit.'

Rukia sighed, she didn't hear the shower turning off and the glass panes opening as she ran her fingers over the keypad rapidly.

'Fine I got it-' The text was never finished as long tapered fingers snapped her lid shut back into it's resting place and the phone was plucked out of her hands.

She looked up at the person who took the phone and saw Hitsugaya with a towel wrapped over his waist and holding the phone.

"You seem rather preoccupied with your phone lately." That was his excuse to take away her phone and Rukia whined as she rolled up the sleeves of his shirt she had put on when she heard her phone ringing earlier this morning.

"But I need my-…" She was cut off when Hitsugaya kissed her and then leaned his forehead against hers and smiled.

"I thought you were looking at those shoes again you've been obsessing over for the last week." Hitsugaya said as he hid the box behind his back and Rukia made a sound of annoyance and a laugh as she looked up at him.

"And what if I was?" Rukia asked in an innocent tone and Hitsugaya smirked.

"How long have you been searching?" Hitsugaya asked as he walked away, but carefully maneuvering so she wouldn't see the gifts he had behind his back and Rukia arched a careful brow.

"I've searched for two days now, everywhere even my brother can't find them; I've checked Asia, America, Mexico, but nowhere, so why do you ask?" Rukia asked innocently as she looked up at him and Hitsugaya sighed.

"So you searched everywhere?" Hitsugaya questioned and Rukia sighed as she smiled.

"Yes I searched everywhere, why do you ask?" Rukia repeated and Hitsugaya tightened the grip on the presents.

"Close your eyes and hold your hands out, I got you something." Rukia rolled her eyes at the demand and did everything she was told to do and Hitsugaya dropped something large into her hands and Rukia opened her eyes and saw the large black box.

"What is this?" Rukia asked and Hitsugaya smiled as he crossed the room and sat down in the chair near a glass door that led to Rukia's balcony. Rukia opened the box and smiled as she plucked out the pair of shoes she had been looking at for the past week. She looked up and saw him smirking.

"How did you find this, I looked everywhere!" Rukia said as Hitsugaya stood up and came close to her and kissed her.

"You said you checked everywhere, but you probably didn't check Milan, I ordered it a couple of days ago, size four." Rukia squealed as she put on the pair of high heels, they were a perfect match and Rukia kissed him.

"Thank you, I also got the perfect dress to match it to, and you'll probably like it." Rukia teased as she jumped off her bed and slammed her closet door shut. He sighed as he rolled his eyes, his cell phone ringing as Rukia was 'dressing.' He picked his phone up without even glancing at the screen.

"Hello?" Hitsugaya asked as he pressed his phone to his shoulder as he shifted the towel around his waist and heard an angry huff through the phone.

"Mister Boss man, where are you, you are late for work!" He held the phone away, the busty blonde on the phone was extremely angry at him. Once she calmed down, or so he thought she calmed down, he put the portable device to his ear again.

"I woke up an hour ago, don't blame me." He said in a monotone voice and the blonde on the phone got even angrier.

"WELL THEN YOU BETTER HURRY UP AND DRESS, NEVER IN YOUR LIFE MISTER HAVE YOU BEEN LATE! SO GET GOING!" Matsumoto screamed and he winced as he held the phone away, again.

"Who do you think you are?" He snorted before talking again, "My mother?" The snobbish personality had pushed its way through and that set off Matsumoto.

"You did not just call me old." Oh yeah, he knew, she was pissed. He smiled as the closet door opened and an elongated leg started its way out of the closet.

"But I just did. I'll be there mother." He snapped the phone shut as he looked up to Rukia, well his extremely pretty girlfriend, no, scratch that, his extremely hot girlfriend. The pretty black bowed satin dress with short sleeves that reached her knees. She came up close to him and tapped a fingernail to his chest.

"What do you think?" The woman looked up at him innocently through large purple eyes and then placed something in his hands and kissed him. "Aunt Matsumoto isn't an old lady." Rukia said as she walked away and saw the clothes in his hands and sighed as he threw his cell phone on Rukia's bed as she walked out of the bedroom and grabbed her cell phone and wallet.

Ten minutes later:

"Hey, do you need a ride to your job?" Hitsugaya asked as he swung his key ring on his finger and Rukia looked at him as she finished texting her sister telling her not to worry.

"No, not really, it's a short walk anyways." Liar, the walk was two miles away, but really, she could have Renji just pick her up. The white brow arched up and he looked at her.

"How long is your walk?" It was a simple question, and if she had a not so weird and secretive job with a place she couldn't really reveal, she would have answered like a normal person, but instead she waved it off.

"Really, it's not a big deal, it's just two miles." She tried to say that in such a regular tone, because really, who would walk two miles? She couldn't, especially not in heels, they would hurt her feet. The distance didn't make his eyes widen, he just stood there and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"You're really going to walk to your job in heels for two miles? Rukia, you have got to be kidding me." Her answer in such a nonchalant tone really surprised him; he could walk up to any girl and ask if they would walk two miles in heels, they would most likely say no.

"Well I don't kid around, seriously, it's not a big deal and you're going to make Rangiku even angrier by taking me." She crossed her legs formally and looked up at him. He arched a brow.

"I think you would know by now that I don't give a damn if Rangiku gets angrier at me for being late." Rukia rolled her eyes and looked away.

"You're wasting you're time, I'm going to say no." He saw what was going on with her, the independent lady, unfortunately, he was going to have to pull out the gentlemen code on her and he grabbed her arm gently.

"Come on, how bad can it be from Kuchiki Corporation to Hitsugaya Corporation? Those buildings are five minutes away by car. Come on, let me take you." Hitsugaya pleaded, and then Rukia just realized he was right considering the fact that her briefings were taken place at the Kuchiki Corporation, which didn't seem harmless at all. She rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Fine then, but it's you're fault if Rangiku gets angry." Rukia pointed out and Hitsugaya pulled her arm gently out of the chair and out the door and kissed her.

"Frankly, I don't care." That's all he said before they went off to his car.

Fifteen minutes later: (Author's note, I do apologize for making time differences)

He pulled in to the Kuchiki Corporation parking lot and looked at Rukia who was already unbuckling her seatbelt, the leather belt slid across her body and retracted back to its normal place. Plus, he was already having a hard time driving since…well, her dress kept on riding up during the car drive and for heaven's sake, he was a man, and he did have a manly urge…

"Thank you for the ride." Her voice was sweet and sincere and he turned his head to look at her and she was smiling, blinking showing off long and thickened lashes, he tried to give a smile without looking down at her thighs…hey, he did have a right to look at her.

"It's no problem, anything for you." The statement was so cheesy, but so sweet, Rukia didn't mind and she kissed him.

"I'll try to think of something to repay you for my new shoes." The wicked smile came on as he pulled away and watched her get out of the car and wave behind the window and walked off, he sighed as he pulled away. He definitely was going to have work on Rukia charming him all the time…most definitely.

Rukia saw him go away and sighed as she felt her phone ring, the screen had showed the person that had called her and she pressed the call button.

"What?" The question was demanding and her voice was more than annoyed, not happy like earlier, she really hated going to work now.

"Are you in the building at all?" The voice was rough and low and Rukia smiled.

"You can check the security cameras Renji; I'm in the parking lot." Rukia said as she pulled open the doors of the Kuchiki Corporation and walked in and saw Renji with a hand poised on his hip and a hand holding his cellphone.

"Fine," He closed his phone and put his now free hand down on his hip. "Where have you been Rukia? Boss has been going crazy for the past few minutes; you're never late to work!" Renji exclaimed and Rukia arched a brow as she walked past Renji.

"I don't remember a time when I couldn't be late to work." The answer made Renji's blood boil; he didn't remember when Rukia had been so sassy about rules and all of that good stuff.

"Who drove you here anyways?!" Renji exclaimed and Rukia backhanded his shoulder and opened the doors.

"I'm not stupid enough to walk two miles in new heels that I got today. Good morning everybody, I'm sorry for my absence this morning, I was trying to get here earlier." Rukia said as she sat down in the leather chair and felt all eyes on her.

"Good morning Miss Kuchiki, but before we get down to business, do explain your absence." Kyouraku asked as he leaned forward and knitted his hands together and smiled as his wide brimmed hat fell over his face a little and Rukia arched a brow.

"I do believe I have a social life Mr. Kyouraku." Rukia said as she felt her ring tone set off loudly and Rukia smiled before she fumbled in her dress for her phone and saw the screen and sighed as she pressed the call button. "You're hiding under your desk aren't you?" She smirked as she heard glass being thrown around in the background.

"Well, yeah, she kind of went off on me as soon as I went up to my office." He said it in a normal voice which was kind of dangerous for him if Matsumoto was totally ruining his office and throwing things around.

"That's why you don't call women old, if you do, you're pretty much digging up your own grave." She could feel a few people getting angry that she was answering a petty phone call, but she might as well get this conversation done and over with.

"Yeah, are you in a meeting right now?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia sighed as she smacked her forehead.

"And you couldn't have predicted that earlier before you called me? I wish I could be there to bandage you up and kiss you until you're better, but I have to go, you did drop me off at work." She heard the 'bye' and shut off her phone and felt all eyes on her as she slipped her phone away.

"Rukia, who were you talking to?" Byakuya demanded he did not like her last line when she said she couldn't be there to bandage and kiss someone, someone he did not know. Sure, he knew that Rukia was a grown up girl, but he was a tad bit protective, well, you couldn't really say a tad bit, because her last boyfriend was scared of the intimidation that Byakuya gave, and mind you, this is one of the best assassins and he got scared to date Rukia. But, he didn't know if this someone was a male or female, but he was pretty sure Rukia wasn't a lesbian. He mentally rolled his eyes, young girls nowadays with their fancy talk.

"Someone Nii-Sama, someone you haven't met yet." Rukia said as she felt the glare and a palm extended towards her, she looked up and saw the glare.

Translation:

Young missy, you better give me your phone right now, I don't care if you're a grown women, and if you don't give me your phone, its fine, I will hunt this person down and torture he or she. Especially if it's a boy, I don't care if it's a girl, so Rukia Kuchiki, if you don't want the boy to be tortured, give me your phone this instant.

She glared at him and stuck her tongue out at him, it was childish but she ended up giving her phone to him and he looked through all of her texts and handed her phone back to her.

"I see you have a boyfriend Rukia." She mentally cursed herself as she heard the angry mutters and Kyouraku's and Ukitake's 'ooh.'

"Can we please just get to work? I want to go home early, I need to do something." Rukia said and Hisana smiled at her as she patted her hand and handed her the file, opening the cover and Rukia nearly widened her eyes at the picture.

'Ulquiorra Schiffer'

"Your uncle Gin called, he's the next one to go, they're all at a bar right now, you might want to get going, Gin wants a gunshot straight to his heart." Hisana said and Rukia sighed as she placed her palms on the glass tables and got out of her chair and took the files.

"I see then, come on Renji, we have to go somewhere first before I make the hit." Rukia said as she sighed, she couldn't do this!

Flashback:

"Ulquiorra, promise me, one day you're going to marry me!" The young woman said in her natural bubbly voice, her hand clasped together with Ulquiorra's, his hand was so cold, but the woman didn't mind, her warm skin always warmed it up. There was a chuckle bubbling in his throat.

"Yes, don't worry, I will." They intertwined fingers and looked at the river's blue pure waters ripple gently as the sun set. He felt the slight pressure of her head on his shoulder.

"We'll be together right, promise?" He saw her close her eyes and hum, he kissed the top of her head.

"I promise." The promise was so sincere and sweet, that the woman had felt like she had been living a dream.

"Orihime, where are you?!" Rukia yelled as she ran on the grass field while holding Ichigo and dragging him to the fields and spotted Orihime running towards her with Ulquiorra along as well. They both stopped and let go of their boyfriends and hugged each other and let go.

"Ulquiorra promised me one day he was going to marry me!" Orihime chirped excitingly and Rukia laughed as they walked along the river and stopped to admire the sunset. Orihime and Rukia laughed as they wove around their boyfriends and pushed them into the river. They sputtered water and ran out of the shallow water and ran after them and managed to push them into the river and kiss them as the sun went away.

Reality:

Rukia had been thinking about the flashback of high school days as she reached Orihime's desk as she had been typing away happily on her computer and thinking about what to make for dinner. Rukia pushed the file so it landed on the keyboard and had the file flipped open for Orihime to see. Orihime stopped typing and picked up the file gingerly and flipped through the documents and looked up to see Rukia with remorse in her eyes.

"Rukia…what is this for?" Orihime asked and Rukia looked away and Renji looked down.

"Are you alright with it?" Rukia asked as she looked at Orihime and Orihime closed the file and smiled as she handed it back.

"Rukia, if it's what you have to do, then do it. I used to love him, and it's true that I don't like the fact that you have to kill him, it's your job, and besides, we never got married anyways, we broke up a long time ago." Orihime said and Rukia sighed as she smiled in relief.

"Good because I don't feel comfortable for killing the man you imagined that would marry you." Rukia said and Orihime laughed as she got out of her chair and pushed Rukia towards the door.

"Good luck!" Orihime said as Rukia was pushed out of the door and Renji looked at her as she walked.

"She's probably thinking about the old days now." Renji said as he handed Rukia the gun and they got into his car and Renji started driving.

"I feel so terrible, he was so nice to us, and then they broke up and she became so distant…I never want her to be that way again." Rukia said and Renji patted her shoulder.

"Its fine Rukia, you're not hurting her by killing him, besides, and she's gotten over him." Renji said and Rukia closed her eyes.

Flashback:

"Damn it, where is she?!" Rukia yelled as she put her hands on her knees, panting, sweating, she and everybody had been looking for Orihime everywhere, she had run away during lunch. Everybody gathered in a big group and Hisagi put his arms around Rukia's shoulder.

"Rukia, you don't have to try so hard, I mean, come on, she probably needs some alone time." Hisagi tried to reason with the raven haired girl but Rukia didn't give up and pulled away from his embrace.

"No Shuuhei, I need to find her! She's my friend!" Rukia protested and Hisagi nodded as he opened his mouth.

"Everybody split up, go into places that Orihime would go to, she might be in places she's familiar with." Shuuhei said and Rukia kissed Shuuhei briefly before everybody split up and Rukia ran to the park, Orihime and she went there a lot. She ran and ran, crashing into civilians and she finally saw the park and saw Orihime sitting on the swing, one reserved for nobody, Orihime was a loner at the park. Rukia ran up to Orihime and kneeled down in front of her.

"Orihime, why did you run away?" Rukia asked and Orihime's hands released their grip from the swing and she immediately crashed herself into Rukia and Rukia felt her sob, Orihime cried and they stayed that way, no words, they understood. Orihime needed Rukia.

Reality:

Rukia felt the car pull to a stop and she opened her eyes.

"Go on Rukia, your uncle is probably waiting for your kill, I'll be in there shortly." Renji said and Rukia nodded as she walked into the club and saw the remaining espada she hadn't killed and Ulquiorra watched as she walked in and motioned for her to come to the back rooms, getting hoots from the remaining friends. Rukia walked in and Ulquiorra shut the door and locked it and Ulquiorra looked out in the window.

"I've been waiting for your arrival Rukia." Ulquiorra said and Rukia gripped the gun tightly in her hand.

"Ulquiorra, why did you leave?" Rukia asked and Ulquiorra looked at her.

"It was for her happiness, Aizen was going to kill her if I didn't leave her, but I knew I would hurt her, so I've been waiting for myself to be your next assignment, I know all about you." Ulquiorra said and Rukia sighed.

"Have you told any of the remaining espada?" Rukia asked and Ulquiorra sighed.

"No Rukia, I haven't, I think we all deserve it, but I do wish I got to see her one last time. I'm ready to leave." Ulquiorra said and Rukia raised the gun and swiftly pressed the trigger and heard the body thump against the floor and Rukia lowered her gun and disarmed it. She walked out and Renji looked at her and Rukia felt her eyes water.

'I wish you had stayed Ulquiorra, really, I wish you had. You were a good man.'

Author's note: Sorry the kill was so crappy, I wish I could write more, but I have to go now, review please! I'm sorry I was gone for so long! Don't kill me!

Peace!
