Author's note: It's been a while since I've updated this story, so try not to kill me. I'm really tired from all of this jetlag I have since I came back from my vacation in China.
So, this will be short, I don't know, I can't guarantee anything, I just want to pass out.
So, school will be starting again for me in about a week or so, my updates, as slow as they may be will be even slower after school starts.
Annoying tumblr alert, this is my personal tumblr, so take a look!

Let's just get this show on the road:
Another note: So, for anybody that's been keeping up with the manga, or not, guess what? RUKIA CAME BACK IN THE MANGA. As soon as I saw it, I started shedding tears of happiness and screamed in delight, I would've taken a video of it, but, yeah, just wanted to let you guys know.
Rukia perused around the dress store as she shifted through expensive gowns that she could wear to Hitsugaya's company ball.
Renji was sitting down on a comfortable red plush bench that was situated around the store for comfort.
"Did you break up with him yet?" Renji asked and Rukia looked at a neon blue dress before dismissing it and going to file through another. Rukia was silent as she shifted her weight to one leg.
"No, I haven't, if I had, I wouldn't have been invited to the damn ball Renji." Rukia replied and Renji rolled his eyes as he saw Rukia going to flip to a red dress soon.
"The red one would look good." Renji said and Rukia took a look at it before putting it back.
"The dress would make me look like a hooker." Rukia quipped and Renji rolled his brown eyes once more as he slammed his cheek into the palm of his hand.
"I don't get why I was dragged along on this trip, why didn't you ask Yumichika or someone else to help you?" Renji grumbled and Rukia pursed her lips as she briefly examined a champagne colored dress and shook her head. Renji got up and began to peruse through dresses as well to try to make things go quicker for the both of them.
"Because knowing Yumichika, he would've tried to put the dresses on himself rather than trying to help me." Rukia responded and Renji picked out a bubble gum pink dress and held it out to Rukia and grinned.
"I think you would look good in this one!" Renji joked, knowing that it was a horrible dress all by itself and Rukia punched his shoulder as he put it back on the rack.
"You're so stupid." Rukia and Renji laughed as they kept on looking through the dresses.
After what seemed like forever, Rukia had rifled through a rack when an iced blue and light lavender dress had caught her eye. It was a strapless gown, and it was beautiful. The top part of her gown was the lavender silk that had mini and intricate swirl and flower designs that was cut off by a thick white sash. The sash then bundled into a budding rose on the side and long ribbons hung from the rose and cascaded over the rest of the dress. The skirt part of her dress had fanned out, colored with the iced blue, the intricate flower and swirl design was put into play again with a color palette that related to the lavender and the blue.
Rukia swallowed deeply as Renji peered over her shoulder and rested his chin on top of her shoulder.
"It would look good on you Rukia." Renji said quietly and Rukia grabbed the dress and rushed to the dressing room and Renji shook his head while laughing.
Renji walked to the dressing room where Rukia was and knocked on the wooden door.
"Are you done in there Rukia? I just want to get the hell out of here." Renji said and Rukia opened the door and smiled softly as she looked up at one of her best friends.
"So, what do you think?" Rukia asked and Renji smiled at her softly and patted a rough hand on her bare shoulder.
"I think it looks absolutely fabulous." Renji said with a girlish tone and Rukia smacked his arm and got out of the dress quickly and put back on her regular clothes and quickly made the purchase.
An hour later:
With shopping bags in hand, due to excursions to other stores in which when Rukia saw something cute she just had to look in the store. Renji rested a hand on his stomach which had been making rather noises that made Renji whimper in hunger.
Rukia had decided to buy him lunch and they sat down on an open table as they munched on burgers and fries. After several moments of silence, Renji was halfway done with his burger while Rukia was one fourth of the way done with it.
"So," Renji paused to wipe up the dribble of ketchup that had fallen from his burger that leaked onto his lips. "The ball is in two weeks, what are you going to do then?" Renji asked and Rukia stopped eating and sighed as she looked up at Renji.
"Can we not talk about this?" Rukia asked and Renji munched slowly into his burger.
"We are going to have to talk about it sooner or later, I'm the cleaner." Renji responded and Rukia put down her burger and looked away from Renji's stare.
"I barely have two weeks left with him; can I just enjoy them while I can?" Rukia asked quietly and Renji swallowed and looked down at his tray of fries.
"We could try to get you out of the system beforehand." Renji said quietly and Rukia tapped the table with her nails.
"They'll just get someone else to do it. With all of the money that Kariya proposed, Yamamoto would never risk the chance of having another organization do it." Rukia stated truthfully and Renji swallowed the last remains of his burger.
"Are you really going to go through with it?" Renji asked and Rukia kept her violet orbs on a young couple holding hands that laughed as they threw coins in the fountain and kissed each other. Rukia felt her eyes watering and she tore her gaze away from them.
"What other choice do I have?" Rukia asked and Renji sighed as the rest of their lunch was in silence.
ooOOooOOoo
Rukia and Renji walked silently back to Rukia's apartment and Renji walked with his hands tucked in his pockets alongside Rukia. They were walking in the park and Rukia examined her environment.
She realized she might have picked the wrong day to go out shopping or go walk home this way. She saw so many couples out and about, having fun, laughing, giggling, and of course the occasional kiss. She walked slower and looked down at her bags and narrowed her eyes in sadness as she realized the one thing that the couples had in common.
Happiness.
Gripping her bags tighter by the handle, she walked on, making Renji curious as to what Rukia was thinking.
Rukia forced her head up and then she saw all of the happy couples and she dropped her bags and Renji had rushed over.
"Rukia, are you okay?" Renji asked as he neared towards Rukia and grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to see tears streaming down her face.
"I just wanted to be happy with him." Rukia whispered and Renji put her into a bone crushing hug and Rukia placed her hands on Renji's chest.
Renji was quiet as he muffled Rukia's sobs and rested his head on her head. They stayed together like that for a couple of minutes.
"I haven't seen you cry this hard except after Kaien." Renji murmured quietly and Rukia slipped her arms so her arms were wrapped around Renji. Renji kissed the top of her head and placed his chin on top of Rukia's head.
ooOOooOOooOOoo
Rukia curled and tangled her legs in between Hitsugaya's. Running her foot over the soft and plush material of the couch and she dug her foot in, trying to make it more comfortable. Her back melded to his chest and his arm was draped around her waist, his other hand supporting his cheek as they watched the romantic and rather childish movie that Rukia rented. Snuggling in closer, one of her hands intertwined with the one draped across her waist, his chin on top of her head.
She was only clad in a lacy tank top and comfortable short shorts. Hitsugaya was sporting comfortable basketball shorts and was shirtless.
"This movie is ridiculous." He muttered as he dug his face into the crook of her neck and she moved her arm to slap his stomach and smiled.
"Shut up, I like this movie." Rukia added in quickly and Hitsugaya kissed her neck and shoulders.
"I have other suggestions." Hitsugaya teased and Rukia gently punched him in the stomach which made him stop kissing her.
"I just want to watch the movie." Rukia whined as she watched the teenage girl talk to her crush about going to a party with her.
"This movie sucks." Hitsugaya groaned and Rukia arched a brow as she looked at him and she pressed her lips to his.
"Deal with it." Rukia ordered and Hitsugaya took advantage of her kiss to get out from behind her and land on top of her which made Rukia glare at him. "What did I just say?" Rukia exclaimed jokingly and Hitsugaya smirked.
"Why can't we do what I want?" Hitsugaya whined and Rukia rolled her eyes as she smiled.
"Because I want to finish the movie, see, there's only twenty minutes of it left!" Rukia stated as she saw Hitsugaya pause the movie and he looked at her and stared at her seriously leaving Rukia frozen for a second. She saw him lean down for a kiss in which she instinctively rolled her head to the side to avoid him. He stopped and looked at her as she looked away.
"You okay?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia still looked away.
"I'm fine." She responded softly and Hitsugaya looked away and Rukia shifted her orbs to look at him, she saw rejection in his eyes and felt bad. Lifting a smooth hand, she cupped his cheek and brought him to look at her.
"I love you." Rukia said quietly and Hitsugaya brought his hand up to cradle hers.
"I love you too." Hitsugaya said as he kissed her and lifted her up off the couch and threw her over his shoulder to which Rukia screamed and laughed as he shut the bedroom door.
"We're leaving your damn movie. I can't stand another minute of the girl and guy blushing at each other every two seconds! They should just get together already1" Hitsugaya shouted as Rukia burst into a fit of giggles.
