Rukia scanned the house for a certain someone…her boyfriend to be exact. She rolled her eyes and saw Kenpachi walking with a towel on his shoulder, tank top, and basketball shorts, heading to the gym. Kenpachi noticed Rukia calling his name and stopped as Rukia walked up to him.

"What do you want Rukia?" Kenpachi asked and Rukia blew a deep breath.

"Do you know where Hitsugaya is?" Rukia asked with a pout and Kenpachi snorted.

"He's out by the pool, the little man felt like going swimming today instead of working out in the gym." Kenpachi said as Rukia smiled.

"Thank you!" Rukia said and Kenpachi snickered.

"Hey Rukia," Kenpachi called out and Rukia stopped walking and faced Kenpachi.

"What is it Kenpachi?" Rukia asked and Kenpachi smirked.

"Don't dirty up the pool." Kenpachi sang before he ran away and Rukia was glaring at him.

"YOU SICK PERVERT!!" Rukia yelled as Kenpachi laughed as he met up with some of the other body guards and Rukia sighed and rolled her eyes. She was wearing a coral dress with a strap the size of one centimeter. A white ribbon tied around her mid section to form a big bow flowing down to her knees and Rukia walked out barefoot to the pool. Kenpachi was right, there he was…swimming. She had to say, her man looked good with all of that water glistening off his body and Rukia sat down on the chair waiting for him to finish his lap. Hitsugaya noticed she was there and finished his lap and swam over to her. His navy blue trunks sticking to his thighs and he took off his goggles and put his arms to rest on the cement. He looked up at her.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Hitsugaya asked as he bent up to kiss Rukia and go back down into the water and Rukia brought out her cell phone to quickly text Matsumoto.

"I just wanted to see you, I'm really bored." Rukia said innocently as Hitsugaya rolled his eyes.

"Go ask your friends to come over, today is my work out day Rukia." Hitsugaya reminded her and Rukia cocked her head to the side.

"My friends are out somewhere, and besides, I don't want to spend time with them, I want to spend time with you." Rukia said and Hitsugaya chuckled.

"You spend enough time with me as it already is." Hitsugaya said and Rukia shot him a glare.

"So you don't want me to hang around you? Fine then, I come out here to see you and you…" Rukia's words were stopped as she was held by a watery hand and was pulled down for a kiss. He let go of her and he smiled.

"No, I wasn't saying that. Don't worry; you can spend time with me. You just probably want to look at my abs anyways, girls are so typical." Hitsugaya said and got a punch to the shoulder courtesy of Rukia who was smiling.

"Girls aren't typical and besides, I don't want to look at your abs, which I must add, are very nice, but I just came to hang out with you." Rukia said as Hitsugaya leaned up against the cement more.

"But I'm not going to let you off that easy, you have to convince me to let you stay." Hitsugaya said and Rukia stuck out her tongue.

"Yeah right, anyways, you should go back to swimming, I'll just text." Rukia said as Hitsugaya arched a brow.

"I did not just let you stay here and hang out with me so you could text; you are coming into this pool." Hitsugaya said as he pointed to the pool and Rukia lowered her phone and raised a brow.

"What if I don't want to?" Rukia asked as she put down her phone and stood up and Hitsugaya reached up and grabbed her wrist quickly and smirked. Rukia widened her eyes in terror. "H-He-Hey, I'm wearing a dress!" Rukia said before Hitsugaya tugged her down and Rukia landed in the pool and Rukia rose up and wiped her face with her hand.

"I'm going to kill you." Rukia said as Hitsugaya grabbed her and put her legs around his waist and carried her.

"I doubt that." He said as he kissed her and Rukia threw her head back and laughed as he kissed her again.

Three hours later:

"Will you hurry up?" Hitsugaya complained outside of Rukia's bedroom door, he glanced at his phone. He was taking her out to dinner for sushi since it was payback for dragging her into a pool. He was about to yell again when Rukia stumbled out her room with a white blouse and skinny jeans with her phone in hand.

"That's why you took such a long time?" Hitsugaya arched a brow at her simple outfit and got smacked across the back of his head.

"No, I had to put on my makeup and tell everybody I wasn't going to be at home." Rukia said as she grabbed a thin white jacket and put it on her body and interlocked hands with him. They walked out of the Kuchiki household and Rukia locked the gates before they started walking again. Her head leaned against his triceps and she leaned against him.

"I love nights like these." Rukia said as she looked up at the sky and Hitsugaya saw stars out in the sky. The dark blue blanket served as their base, practically holding them up. "The stars look so pretty." Rukia pointed out and Hitsugaya nodded.

"Why do you like the stars so much?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia turned her head to face him and then pecked his cheek.

"Because, they are so soothing and calming, and it makes me want to go out and run with them, plus, they make pretty shapes." Rukia said still looking at the stars and Hitsugaya snorted.

"You say them as if they are people." Hitsugaya said and Rukia nodded.

"There's nothing wrong with that, some people might be my shooting star." Rukia blushed at that comment and Hitsugaya stopped her and then turned her around and tilted her chin up at him.

"Then who is this your so called shooting star?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia smiled at him.

"He's right here in front of me." Rukia said as she leaned up and kissed him and then they started walking again.

"You know Rukia, I don't have to be your shooting star, it could be someone you love more than me or you believe in." Hitsugaya said, but he was secretly happy she chose him as her internal shooting star.

"Well I believe you, I may not love you now, but you make me happier than ever." Rukia said as Hitsugaya chuckled.

"I should be saying things like that to you, maybe it would help me." Hitsugaya teased and Rukia laughed.

"You aren't getting anywhere more as far as kissing and touching for now." Rukia promised and Hitsugaya arched a brow.

"For now you say." Hitsugaya chuckled and Rukia punched him in the arm and Hitsugaya kissed her temple as they kept on walking.

"You stupid pervert, I never knew you could be that way." Rukia said as Hitsugaya laughed.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me." Hitsugaya said as he opened the door to the restaurant and ordered a table for two. Rukia rolled her eyes.

"Then you can enlighten me with the things I don't know about you." Rukia said as she sat down and he sat down and they ordered drinks which were waters for both.

"Well you know everything you should know." Hitsugaya said as he leaned back and Rukia arched a brow.

"Yeah right, oh well it's not like…" Rukia felt her phone vibrate and she held up one finger as she fished out her phone and clicked the talk button. She flipped her hair behind her back.

"Hello, this is Rukia." Rukia said and then her smile turned into one of pure disgust and anger.

"Damn it Kaien. No, I don't…God damn it Kaien will you please just leave me alone?! I don't want to talk to you. I'm busy, damn you Kaien Shiba." Rukia said as she shut off her phone and shoved it back into her pocket. Hitsugaya arched a brow and Rukia rubbed her temples.

"What happened Rukia?" Hitsugaya asked in a smooth voice and Rukia looked up as he grabbed her hand.

"He called me to see if I wanted to sleep with him, damn bastard." Rukia cursed as he rubbed his thumb in circles over her hand.

"It's alright, as long as you know you don't then you should be fine." Hitsugaya said and Rukia nodded as the server brought the food and they started eating quietly.

"He's just so annoying; it makes me wish I hadn't fallen in love with him before." Rukia grumbled through her food and Hitsugaya looked up and saw Rukia stop eating and gripping her chopsticks tightly.

"You don't have to say anything you don't want to say Rukia." Hitsugaya said calmly as he put his chopsticks down and Rukia put down hers.

"No, I want you to know." Rukia said quietly with her hands in her lap. Hitsugaya leaned back and listened while folding his hands and put them on top of his abdomen.

"I was so stupid…I was just a sophomore and I was controlled. I still was the way I was. Then one day, I was in the library…my god back then I was such a big nerd, I always needed books even though I still had the same friends I have today." Rukia laughed at her friends always going with her to the library and trying to find some suitable books for the young girl to read. Hitsugaya nodded and Rukia took in a deep breath.

"Well I was in the library by myself because my friends said they were going to get me something to eat. Well I was picking up a Shakespeare book and then when I got up, I bumped into him. When I first looked at him and met him, he was so kind and sweet and caring, even with his big posse around. Well that was a big mistake." Rukia muttered the last sentence and Hitsugaya arched a brow.

"It sounds like you started developing a crush." Hitsugaya said and Rukia nodded.

"I did, we talked for a while and then I developed a strong crush on him. I though he liked me as well because sometimes I would catch him watching me, or following me, and when we met, it would be more coincidental. Then on December 1st, the day of the winter dance, he asked me to dance with him. He looked good and I did because I thought he liked me. While playing a slow dance song, he asked me out and then kissed me, making me say yes. I thought we would be happy…but I was wrong. The first months of our relationship was great, he was still the same man, but then, something had changed about him, about our fifth month together, he got cocky. He was getting cocky, always dragging me everywhere, I barely saw my friends and when I tried to hang out with him, he would always coax me to meet new guys everyday, but somehow he always mentioned that he had the infamous Kuchiki with him. Like he had finished the biggest goal of his life…" Rukia stopped and Hitsugaya nodded.

"You thought he was using you to make him look better." Rukia nodded and continued on.

"I didn't believe it at first, but then we got into a big fight on how he kept on taking me away from my friends and then when I was about to break up with him, he said he loved me and then I felt like he really did. So I stayed with him longer, then seven months later…god it was horrible. I was walking to his house because I wanted to make a surprise visit since he always did that with me; I thought it would be okay if I did it that one time. I saw the door was unlocked and I opened it. I heard something from his bedroom, his sister Kukaku and his brother Ganju were out at the time and they really liked me. I went over to his bedroom and I opened the door to see him screwing around with another girl. I felt so heartbroken, and I had recognized her, it was Miyako, she was my friend in elementary, but we separated in middle school because we got different groups of friends…" Rukia said as she clenched her blouse and felt Hitsugaya's hand smoothing over hers.

"It's okay Rukia…you don't have to tell me." Hitsugaya said as Rukia smiled at him and kissed him and continued.

"Well anyways, I screamed at him, but I wasn't mad at Miyako, I was just mad at him. I told him we were over and then the next day when I went to school people were calling me whores because he told people in retaliation that I had slept with him before. Which was a total lie, it took me one fourth of my junior year of kicking him around that I didn't sleep with him. Momo just uses it now because she tries to make up something to hurt me, but in reality, they don't."

"Rukia, it's alright, there are always things like that, and they just happen, you can't really do anything about it." Hitsugaya said as Rukia smiled at him and began eating again.

"I know."
