Previously on My Life

Rukia is getting married to Aizen and gets documents about him. She and Ichigo are close friends and he comforts her after coming out crying by hugging her and kissing her forehead. Guess who sees the kiss? Inoue Orihime. She runs off crying and Rukia chases after her. Meanwhile Ichigo sees the documents. What did he just find out?

(T.P.O.V.)

"How is this possible? He's the one who did it. He was the one who ruined my family's life." Ichigo muttered madly. He threw the documents on the floor. They said,

Aizen has killed one person and that was a mother to three children. She had a husband and was living happily with them until June 17th That day Aizen without a seemingly good reason pulled out a gun and shot her while one of her children witnessed it at the age of nine. He was bright and fun until that day. That day he changed into a boy who never seemed happy anymore and he always had a scowl on his face since then, or so his family says. Aizen has been arrested and put in a rehabilitation room. He since then has recovered and hasn't killed, threatened, or even touched anyone else without permission from the person. His record says he was just crazy and needed time to get better. He since then is better and can be relied on.

Aizen had killed the mother of Ichigo's family. Masaki Kurosaki. Ichigo raced after Rukia determined to find her and ask why her brother would trust such a bastard.

"Rukia!" Ichigo called out loudly not caring if anyone heard him. He soon found her talking to Inoue who had red and puffy eyes with a sniffling nose. Ichigo listened in on the conversation.

"Inoue it's not what it looks like. He was doing that to comfort me not because he wanted to have a relationship with me. Did he kiss me on the lips? No he did not so he didn't want a relationship he just wanted to make sure I was okay."

"Inoue looked pleased at that and nodded before saying sorry and grabbing Rukia's hand and pulling her to some place to eat.

Ichigo's heart clenched when Rukia explained that. Why did it feel like someone just ripped my heart out. Does this mean I like her more than just being friends? How is this possible? I can't like that stupid midget! We fight all the time. Yet why do I still feel like this? Ichigo thought to himself as he followed Rukia and Inoue to the restaurant they were going to. He ran quickly so he could look like he thought of going there not following Rukia and Inoue. He ran into the place and demanded a three person table claiming that he was with someone and knowing that once Inoue saw him she would say they were with him. All he hoped was that his plan would work and he wasn't about to have to pay for the two extra seats if Inoue didn't notice him.

(R.P.O.V.)

Inoue pulled me along to some restaurant that I have never seen before in my life. She ran in was about to say something when she spotted someone and yelled back to the waiter, "It's okay we're with someone. She pulled me to a three seated table with someone I knew very well was sitting in one.

"Hey Rukia, Inoue." Ichigo said as he waved his hand nonchalantly and while sipping from something very strange looking. In fact I think it was avocado. Then again it could be kiwi.

"Hey Ichigo." I replied a little surprised that he was actually here. Then I felt a jab from Inoue and I turned my head to look at her. I raised my eyebrow with question in my eyes.

"That's such a rude way to say hello! You have to say 'Kurosaki-Kun', not 'Ichigo'. That's too rude. You have to do it like this." Inoue whispered while turning away from me and smiling at an Ichigo who had one eyebrow raised in suspicion. "Hello Kurosaki-Kun. It was nice to meet you today." Inoue bowed low and then raised her head and gave me a jab telling her to do the same thing.

I sighed as I did the same thing and took the seat closes to Ichigo. Inoue jabbed me and shoved me off that chair and sat on it instead. I looked into Ichigo's eyes in pain. Giving him the look to help me. His eyes said yes and he stood up to help me up. Inoue watched me like a hawk, as Ichigo gave me a hand to get up. I looked into his gorgeous eyes with my violet ones giving my thanks and thoughts to him through my eyes. I could also see his thoughts and feelings. Something I saw made me confused. In his eyes, there was sadness and anger. Most likely the anger was toward Inoue, but what was that sadness in his eyes. We were staring at each other so long that we both forgot that there was someone with us. I signaled with my eyes and that was when he finally realized that and we both looked away blushing madly. As we sat down Inoue looked pissed at me and for the entire time she ignored me. When the waiter finally came over to us, turned to Ichigo, knowing he would order what I liked.

"I would like bean paste buns with ketchup, chocolate, and strawberries in it please." Inoue said with a smile towards Ichigo. Ichigo and I looked both disgusted and shocked at her choice of food. Even the waiter was practically gagging at as he wrote the order down.

"And what would u like sir?" The waiter asked while almost barfing all over Ichigo.

"I would like a simple smoothie of strawberries, kiwi, and mango."

The waiter nodded and wrote it down, glad to have a normal order after Inoue's. Then he turned to me and asked the same question. All I did was smile and point to Ichigo. The waiter, whose name seemed to be Hanatarou Yamada, raised an eyebrow in questioning before turning to Ichigo like I pointed out.

"She would like a chappy the bunny smoothie with strawberries. Oh I almost forgot, don't forget the bunny sticker." Ichigo then stood up and pulled Hanatarou up and said, "Never forget the sticker. Last time someone forgot, they ended up in the hospital. She takes chappy very seriously. NEVER! Forget the sticker. EVER!" Then Ichigo sat back down as if nothing had happened. Hanatarou looked scared and wrote that part down immediately and reread it just to make sure it was absolutely clear. He nodded and scurried away looking scared.

I smiled in a creepy way while Inoue was staring at me in anger. There in fact was so much tension, after we ate, Inoue stood up and turned away and ran towards the door, unable to believe that me and Ichigo were just friends.

I looked at Ichigo and saw his mask lift and sit there slumped over sadly.

"Ichigo what's wrong?" I asked with concern obviously in my voice.

"Aizen was the one who killed her when I was nine." Ichigo whispered.

I froze at hearing that. Who did Aizen kill to make Ichigo like this?

"What do you mean?" I asked while narrowing my eyes.

"He killed mom."

"Okay so he killed your mo-wait, WHAT?!"

Hehe. Cliff-hanger. Or at least I think this is. This is the longest chapter I wrote yet. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, liked, and followed this story. Sorry for the delay. I was going to write this yesterday but there was a huge party that went on till like 12:00 p.m. Thanks for the support.
