She jumped over one roof to the other until she reached a certain roof. Getting inside a certain room was no problem since the window to that room was already open. Carefully she jumped over the bed and gracefully landed next to the bed. She turned around to get a better look to the substituted sleeping Shinigami on the bed.
'He never change' Rukia slowly whispered when she looked at him. There, the sleeping Shinigami still had his trademark; his scowl. Although he had been in dreamland, he still scowling. Smiling, Rukia walked towards the bed. On her knees, she gently swept his hair. Then she kissed his cheek. Rukia then said slowly to him that she loved him. It was time… time for her to go back to the place where she really belongs to.
She was about to get out from that room when she heard he saying his name in his dream. She looked at him. He was calling her name again and again. Rukia walked back to him. Knelt again, she ran her fingers in his orange hair, gently.
"I'm sorry. I wish you knew how I feel about you, Ichigo. I wish I can be with you forever. But you know that I didn't belong here" a drop of tear fall onto the sleeping Shinigami's cheek. It had waked him from his sleep. Rukia quickly walked away from the bed when she saw he moved him hand. Standing a few feet from his bed, Rukia looked at him.
Ichigo felt a drop of water on his cheek. He brushed it off. Was it a dream or he had just felt that there was someone inside his room looking at him? Gazing everywhere inside his room, he caught a glimpse of a petite girl inside his room. His heart skipped a beat after he recognised it was Rukia.
"Rukia, is it you?" he tried to call her, wishing that it is Rukia not just dream.
"Of course it is me, you idiot" trying to control her voice as she walked towards him.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were at Soul Society" Ichigo lit up the table lamp. The lamp made the room brighter for both of them to see each other.
Rukia looked at him, "I just finished my mission at neighborhood so I though I would like to see what had happen to this substitute Shinigami" with a smile on her face that made her looked very cute. Rukia walked to the bed and sat beside him.
Ichigo grinned. He was happy now, happy to see her again after a year of being apart from each other. "You never change do you?" Rukia looked at the orange hair Shinigami beside her.
"Nope and I think I'll never change until someone change me" a smile decorated his face.
"Well, I got to go now, Ichigo" Rukia said, although she didn't want to go. She wanted to be with him even if it just tonight. "No. Don't go. Stay here; stay here until tomorrow, just before I go to school. There is something I need to tell you" he will not going to let her go. Not until she know how he feel towards her.
Rukia looked at him. Sighed. Then, "I think it'll be alright, if I stay here just for tonight right?" with a smile decorated her cute sad face. Ichigo let out a deep sigh meaning that she won't go for the rest of the night and also a smile. He saw her yawning for fifth time that night.
"You can go to sleep now, if you wanted" Ichigo pointing his index finger to the closet at the opposite site of his bed. Rukia nodded. Both said goof night to each other and Rukia jumping into the closet while Ichigo looked at her before laid his fatigued body on the bed.
She looked every single thing inside the closet. The blanket, pillow, scent of the closet, the yellow pyjama that was folded neatly beside the pillow, even the little spider that always on the corner of the closet ceiling, she had missed all of them. 'I'm back, little spider' with a smile she changed her clothe.
After done wearing the pajama, Rukia lay down on the closet's bed and she opened the closet door for a few inch so that she can see him sleeping. She peeked out and saw the orange hair Shinigami sleeping peacefully on his bed with his trademark, his scowl. "Good night, Ichi-kun" for the first time Rukia called him using –kun behind; then she smiled and fall asleep.
