One Who Protects

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own bleach. Duh.

"Stop calling me midget, orange brain! I am just petite." Rukia stated.

"Yeah, whatever, midget" Ichigo said in a frustrated manner.

For his remark, he got a kick to his shin as a reward. Ichigo winced at the kick and wondered how a small girl can have great power. And he could not believe there can be a girl that small.

Rukia was embarrased at the way Ichigo was dragging her to his house. When his cold hand had made contact with her fingers, she could feel her heart jump. She did not what this boy had done with her. She was a arrogant, stubborn girl and she knew it. But when she was around this guy, she wanted more attention from him. She had a pink tint on her face as Ichigo dragged her down to his house

"By the way, where is this house of yours? You have been dragging me for about ten minutes!" Rukia said.

"Stop whining. We are already here. Get in." Ichigo said as he opened the door for her

Rukia entered Ichigo's house. She could not call the house small. The dining, living room and the kitchen was connected together. She saw stairs leading up to the bedrooms and bathrooms. A small blonde girl was at the kitchen, making dinner for her family.

"Oh hey, Ichi-nee. Dinner will be up in a bit. Good thing that you came or Oka-san would ki-" Yuzu said but stopped when she saw a raven haired girl.

"Hey Yuzu, this is Rukia. She is a new student at my school and she got a injured a little bit. Im going to take her to my room." Ichigo said

"Hey, Yuzu." Rukia said in a cheerfull manner.

Yuzu looked between the two, smiling. Rukia could feel the heat smothering her face. Ichigo was totally oblivious to the awkwardness between them.

"Wow. Ichigo is making moves on a sophomore."

Rukia looked up and saw a girl with black hair up to her neck. She had a nonchalent expression planted on her face.

"Oh shut up Karin. We just met plus she is injured. She came to have dinner." Ichigo said while blushing.

"Yeah,whatever" Karin said and turned back to the football match she was watching.

"ICHIGO! YOU ARE JUST IN TIME FOR DINN-"Isshin was about to complete his sentence but he got plummeted to the ground.

"DAMN IT OLD MAN! Can you not shout!" Ichigo said, angrilly.

Isshin got out of his dazed state and saw that there was a girl with him. He had a stupid grin on his face which Ichigo knew that what he was going to do was going to piss him off.

"ICHIGO! You brought a girl home! What is your name! Are you going to marry my son?! I am going to call you my third daughter." Isshin said with a stupid grin and sparkling eyes.

After hearing what Isshin said, Ichigo took him by his doctor coat and threw against the wall. He immediately passed out as soon as he banged his head first in the wall. Ichigo dragged Rukia to his room. Rukia was startled when Ichigo beat the living soul out of his dad.

"I am going to take Rukia to my room to heal her injury." Ichigo said angrilly.

...

Rukia was sitting in Ichigo's room while he went to get a first aid kit. The lights were turned off but you could see clearly because of the moonlight. Rukia observed the room she was in. There was a bookshelf on the rightmost corner of the room containing many types of literature books and poems. His single bed was really comfy and Rukia thought she could just pass out while sitting there. His study desk was clean with all his school books and notes arranged neatly. His closet was big in size and Rukia believed that it was more than enough to to sleep in there.

Ichigo came in as soon as she had stopped looking around. He was a carrying a small first aid pack in his left hand while carrying a cloth with his right. He had never helped anyone like this before. But seeing this strange girl hurt, gave him an angry feeling. He could not see her hurt. He did not know what had happened to him and why he was taking care of this girl. He walked over to Rukia and knelt down to see her injuries on her legs. Rukia's face was heating up instantly. She never felt this way before. Her legs had become weak when Ichigo ran his hands on her legs to check her injuries. Her heart almost leaped up at his touch.

Ichigo took the cloth and dabbed some antiseptic on it. He applied it to the scrapes and injuries on her legs. Rukia found it cute .

Ichigo took the cloth and dabbed some antiseptic on it. He applied it to the scrapes and injuries on her legs. Rukia found his worried and tense face cute, even with the scowl. But she did not want him to worry too much.

"You know that I am not that hurt. You do not have to worry for me." Rukia said quietly.

"Shut up. I am not worrying for you. I am doing what a normal person would do." Ichigo lied.

"I do not think a normal person would do that. Thank you Ichigo." Rukia said with a sweet smile that made Ichigo gulp and stare at her in awe.

Rukia was looking into Ichigo's mesmerizing amber eyes while those eyes were staring back into her violet eyes. Ichigo could see her beautiful eyes shining into his. The moonlight rays were falling on her face which made her face look beautiful. They both were staring at each other eyes for a minute when Ichigo broke off contact and started applying the antiseptic to her temple. Rukia could not express what she had seen in those eyes. They were just beyond greatness. Ichigo continued applying her with the medicine when they both heard a voice from the kitchen.

"Ichi-nee! Rukia-chan! Dinners ready!"

Ichigo stood up and put his hand in front of Rukia. She took his gratefully and he lifted her up from his bed. Ichigo let go of her hand and opened the door for her. She got out and Ichigo followed her to go have dinner with his family.
