"Rukia, don't you get the privilege you have of being mined?, only I can understand the beauty of your body, your voice so easy to brake as your will... I have paid great money for you" said Aizen walking towards her
"That's not true! I am Kurosaki-sama's... he would never sold or change me! ... never┘"
"And why is that? ┘ You▓re nothing more than an object, you're worthless!" said Aizen laughing, absorbed with her sad tears, her painful expression.
"Don▓t worry, I'll be gentle with you, I▓ll take time to train you, all the time you could need to learn how to obey your new master... in the end even he would have done this..." said Aizen shoving her to the bed and pinning her arms.
"Stop! Please!"
Not hearing her Aizen started kissing her forcefully; Rukia's tears not stopping falling trying to make distance between their bodies but her arms were pinned brutally by his hands and her legs by his legs.
"Stop please!!... Ichigo! Help me Ichigo!!" Rukia screamed his name with all her strength wishing to see him cross trough the door "ichigo!!"
"Stop calling him!" screamed Aizen slapping her cheek "he won▓t come; it's time you accept that you're only mine now! ... so or you shut up or I▓ll cut your tongue!"
Rukia could only cry leaving her body drown in the immensity of the pain when the door swung open making Aizen turn furious.
"I told you not to bother me"
"I'm sorry, we didn't let them told us anything" said Ichigo entering the room and kicking him out of bed. Aizen angry face has change, scared moves away and takes a large knife out of his clothes.
"surrender Aizen, we have took the fortress" Ichigo blocked away Aizen's strike that went to his stomach, he got only to slash his clothes, Ichigo use this moment to take Aizen's hand and throw the knife making it fly against the door, Aizen in a corner looks at Ichigo angrily.
"She's not leaving with you!!" Aizen moved quickly taking a large blade that was hidden in the door frame. "She's only mine!!" Rukia looked at Aizen with horrified eyes not moving, Aizen jumped in to bed with the sword in his hand and when the blade was about to taste her flesh a large sectioned sword slashed him in to pieces, the blood tainting Rukia's dress and face. Renji retreat his sword cleaning the blood from the blade.
"Rukia!" Ichigo run towards her taking out the chains in her wrists, she stayed still letting a few tears fall and not moved on till he embraced her tightly and called her name. Responding to the embrace she started crying loudly.
"shss.. It▓s okay, I'm here" Ichigo felt Rukia trembling in his arms.
"Ichigo we're leaving" said Renji placing his sword again in its scabbard "Okay" Ichigo tried to move but Rukia didn't let him holding him even tighter "Please don't leave me... please!" cried Rukia hiding her face in his chest "Rukia... let's go back home" said Ichigo taking her hand, Rukia nodded slowly and let Ichigo take her in his arms to his horse that was waiting outside the fortress.
Rukia in the way back cried lowly. "Rukia... it's okay, you're safe now" said Ichigo not braking the embrace and petting her lovingly.
"I'm sorry Ichigo-sama, I'm so sorry... I will never leave your side, I should have listened you" said Rukia embracing him, Ichigo smiled and kissed her forehead "It's okay, I should had said what was happening, Aizen was too persistent and I was so afraid that I didn't wanted to even tell you, I▓m s╛╛orry you had to suffer all this" Rukia stiffened calming down.
Entering his bedroom he placer her in his bed. "Tonight you▓ll sleep here and I▓ll stay with you to make sure you sleep well"
"Ichigo..." Rukia felt her heart beating faster but her words were stuck in his throat. She rested her head in his lap, Aizen's words still sounding in her mind. "Good night"
In her dreams she listened to Aizen's words, what was stopping Ichigo of doing something like THAT to her?, to leave, sell or change her?. Was Ichigo capable of braking and hurting her like Aizen tried to?, was she capable of doing it with Ichigo?... what if she wasn't able?, Ichigo would force her or leave her?"
In her sleep she cried, Ichigo hears and hugs her, whispering sweet words to her ear making her calm down.
"Ichigo..." a soft whisper between her lips makes Ichigo blush and smile "Rukia... I wish it weren't that hard to remember, that painful... I wish I could be with you" said Ichigo embracing her closer to him.

It was around midnight when Rukia woke up from a nightmare, nor recognizing the guy beside her she back up horrified until she felt the cold wall behind her, not having anything to protect herself. Ichigo woke up to see Rukia crying and trying to get herself away from him.
"Rukia what's wrong?, its me Ichigo" said Ichigo moving slowly towards her, Rukia takes long but end up recognizing his voice and sweet eyes.
"Ichigo-sama! I had a nightmare please don't make me sleep again! Don▓t leave me"
"It▓s okay... its okay" said Ichigo embracing her, "you know I had something for you" Rukia looked at him waiting to see something that didn't freak her out. Ichigo took out of his cabinet a bunny stuffed animal "It's name is Chappy, hope you like it" Rukia blushed taking the bunny in her arms "I love it, thank you"
"You know, if you embrace him you won't have anymore nightmares, it▓s a good lucky charm" Rukia smiled and embraced Ichigo and the bunny getting fast sleep.
When she woke up again was already afternoon, Ichigo hadn't even leaved to work because of her, for her.
"Ichigo..." whispered Rukia slowly tasting the sweetness of his name in her lips
