It's over.
Done with.
Why keep trying?
Why keep chasing?
Futile.

With his usual permafrown, Ichigo entered his classroom door.
There was Inoue, the cracked vase, standing with her friends.
His eyes traced the bandage around her skull, the sling on her arm, and a pang of guilt overtook him.
There was that feeling again.
Of sinking.
Of falling.
Of drowning.
He looked away, and began walking to his seat.
Ichigo glanced at Rukia's usual desk, and her outline appeared on his vision before fading into nothing.
He was going crazy.
"Kurosaki-kun!"
Ichigo turned, expression gaunt and weary.
He had gotten no sleep last night.
The effing albino talked too effing much.
"Good morning!" Inoue said with her usual vigor. She didn't wave like usual, though. The reason for that was clear enough.
Ichigo became smothered with a blanket of despair. He almost stumbled, almost fell.
"Yeah. Morning." Ichigo managed, then maneuvered around her, and toward one of the open windows.
He needed some fresh air. Desperately.
Closed eyes.
Broken.
-------------------
Rukia stood by the door for a second, contemplating her actions. Then she sighed, and turned away.
Nii-sama's house was gigantic, as expected. There were no doorways, only large, looming arcs. It only contained a ground floor, but its massive size made up for lack of height.
The clear resounding sound of knocking began before Rukia made it into the next room.
The shouting started by the time she made it to the back door.
Then came the rough sound of Renji body-slamming the door.
Rukia stopped mid-step into the outside garden.
With an irritated sigh, she twisted around and stomped her way to where she had started from.
The door flew open.
"RENJI!" She growled before he accidently killed her.
He froze mid body-slam. "Hi."
"INSIDE!" She pointed.
"Okay."
A/N:
Just to make things clear; THIS IS NOT A RENRUKI FANFIC!!!!!
I'm just showing Renji getting Rukia to come with him to the human world
Any suggestions of Ichiruki or Hichiruki are welcomed.
I love any variation of ichiruki (TEH BESTEST PAIRING)
