Chapter 1 – I won't hurt her…
I was walking for school together with my substitute orange haired shinigami. His bag was slammed over his broad shoulder. His scowl was still there but today it was different, it was soft. I know the reason why. And knowing the reason behind it was more painful than seeing what happened yesterday.
My mind was out somewhere when suddenly he looked at me with curiosity. I blushed as his amber eyes met my violet orbs. I was hoping with all my might that he won't see my tinted cheeks!
"Hey midget, you're spacing out again. Are you Ok?" he asked me with concern.
And with that I gave him a hard blow on his shin.
"You stupid fool! How dare you to call me midget," I shouted.
"And how dare you to call me a fool?" he shouted back.
"Because that's true, you are a stupid idiot for a strawberry!" I teased him.
Blush crept on his tanned face.
"You…," He didn't dare to finish the sentence, scared that I might give him another painful blow.
I watched him whimpered in pain, and I silently enjoyed our small bickering, knowing that someday we won't be able to do it again.
'Ichigo, if you're going to choice between me and Inoue, who would you choose? ' I asked him silently. 'Would you prefer to be with me if I suddenly confess my feelings to you? Or would you break my heart just like what you did yesterday?' But the truth is…he already chosen Inoue over me since the day I saw him kissing her. It pained me so much, like my heart was stabbed by millions of invisibles zanpakatou.
"Rukia, there's something I wanted you to know." He said while holding his abused shin.
"What is it?", I kindly asked him.
"I and Inoue were now officially boyfriend and girl friend, and I wanted you to be the first person to know about it."He said while blushing.
I felt my heart stings a bit. Without him knowing, he once again broke my heart into dust.
"Co…congratulations for the both of you," I gave him a fake smile. Wishing he wouldn't notice.
"Arigatou, Rukia,"he smiled at me.
"Don't be so polite Baka, it doesn't suit you well!" I laughed.
"You bitchy woman!" he hissed at me.
"Hey, watch your foul mouth Kurosaki; I might give it a lesson. Don't treat a woman like that," I gave him a warning look.
"Don't tell me what to do, midget!" he shouted.
I'm about to give him another kick when a very sweet voice broke our small bickering.
"kuchiki-san! Kurosaki-kun!"
We both looked at the intruder.
"Inoue?" he blushed terribly which didn't escaped unnoticed by me.
"How's your day, Kurosaki-kun?" she said while hugging the arm of her boyfriend.
"I'm fine, How about you Inoue?" he grabbed her hand and entwined their fingers together. I could see how Orihime blushed terribly. I felt out of place and an intruder to their sweet moments. I don't want to hear any of their conversation. I just let them lead the way and stayed behind the happy couple. I watched their hands feel each other's warmth. If only I don't feel anything for that carrot-top, I'll do anything just for them to have a happily ever after story, but unfortunately life is too cruel, too harsh and too unpredictable, everything I wanted so much drift away from my grasp.
"Kuchiki-san!" A very innocent voice broke my thoughts and stopped me from walking. Orihime was looking at me while placing her hands at my front for me to grab. I hesitated for a moment before I finally grab it.
"I really like you so much Kuchiki-san!" she said while smiling. I felt guilty for some reasons that I really don't know.
"I like you too Inoue," I gave her my sweetest smile. I watched how her left hand holds mine and her right hand holds Ichigo's.
I looked down and I frowned to myself. 'I can't hate her, I really can't. I really like her and she's my best friend' I thought sadly. I watched at her as her gray orbs stares at the amber ones with love. I shouldn't be thinking too much… I shouln't…
