-1Rukia's Dream
A/N: Hey I'm back! ;) Let's get to the story!
You know the drill… I DON'T OWN Bleach! I also don't understand why we have to say this on some place called !
Chapter 3 Good Morning… Hisana!?
"Can I sleep with both of you tonight?" Yachiru asked sadly.
"Oh Yachiru…" Rukia said quietly. Think fast Rukia or make the kid cry, she thought hurriedly. Got it! "Yachiru go to sleep Ichigo and I need to clean up. Then we'll go to bed." she said gently pushing her towards the door.
"Okay Mommy. Goodnight." she said yawning.
"Night." she said closing the door. She then turned beat red.
Ichigo saw the whole thing. He also noticed Rukia was blushing even more than him. I didn't know people could turn that red, he thought stifling laughter. "Um… thanks for handling it Rukia." he said turning his face.
"Oh my! I have nothing to sleep in." she said feeling heat coming to her face again. Don't turn around! Don't turn around! Please DON'T turn around, she thought.
"You can… um… sleep in one of my T-shirts." he said as calmly as he could. He thought he would never stop blushing ever. One night and we are turning each others world upside down, he thought grabbing a T-shirt. "Here ya go." he said avoiding her eyes.
"Where can I change?" she stuttered.
Ichigo smirked. Good It's awkward for both of us, he thought jokingly. "You can change in there. I'll use the downstairs bathroom." he said pointing a very clean looking bathroom. Well except the toilet seat was up. He walked downstairs and sighed he hadn't smirked like that since… since a long time ago. I'll finish cleaning up then head to bed, he thought looking at his messy kitchen.
With Rukia…
She hated to say it but this had to be one of the best nights of her life. She twirled once in his T-shirt. He smells nice, she thought dreamily. She walked into the bed room trying hard to push pictures of her boss's son naked out her head. She gently rolled Yachiru to the center. Yachiru sleeps in the middle no contact, she thought a little sad about it.
She did a quick prayer for a dreamless sleep. She couldn't handle sleepless nights anymore. And she didn't want Ichigo scared out of her mind. She hated these dreams and just wanted them gone. She was extremely an fell asleep soon after her little prayer.
She watched a teenage her and Ichigo sit under a tree. A phone went off Ichigo… hopped out of his body! Rukia hopped out of her body and they ran off. They ran out of sight and Rukia was alone. Everything started bleeding darkness. She tried to run away from it to no avail. "Please! Not tonight I don't want to talk to you!" she screamed knowing that if she was in darkness her nightmare was starting.
"Aww! Tsk! Tsk! You don't like talking to me do you?" the voice said with false sadness. Rukia wanted to be back under the tree at least. Watching that other her be happy. But she was her stuck in the darkness with a voice.
"Go away!" she was crying now.
"Fine but if you think I'm terrifying you are going to have a terrible time with HER!" it said. Suddenly Rukia was flying through the darkness. She fell to the ground sobbing harder than before.
"Run! Rukia run and don't look back!" a familiar voice yelled at her. She knew this seen but it usually sounded distant. Like watching a movie. He was about to get stabbed for the other Rukia's sake. She wanted to warn him but all she could do was see. She was in the other Rukia's body and she couldn't do anything.
It happened quickly Ichigo got stabbed and fell to her feet. She saw the blood coming at her and worse she felt it. "Ichigo… IIICCHHIIGGGOO!" the words came out her mouth as she sunk to the floor.
I want to get out, she thought miserably. Seeing it from a distance was horrible but she just felt it. She felt this girl's pain. She felt her feeling alone. She felt the splatter of blood.
"I told you that you wouldn't like being here!" the voice said. She fell out the body but the feeling was still on her though. She sobbed. She wanted someone to wake her up and hold her. The voice taunted but she just kept crying. Then the Ichigo she knew extended his hand.
"C'mon wake up Rukia." he said smirking.
"Damn you! I'll see tomorrow night Rukia!" the voice yelled obviously fading. Rukia took his hand.
Dream over…
She kept crying even though she was awake. That dream was so horrible she noticed Ichigo was carrying her to the other bedroom.
"I don't want to wake up Yachiru." he said calmly. Rukia just nodded and continued crying. He consoled her. He hugged her tight. He did everything he knew might get her to calm down. Nothing worked. Rukia's crying stopped and Ichigo couldn't help but to chuckle at what he saw. Rukia was fast asleep in his arms. He was glad she wasn't scared anymore. "Goodnight Rukia." he whispered sweetly. She snuggled closer to him and he fell asleep with Rukia in his arms.
Morning 9:23 a.m.…
Yachiru yawned and rubbed her eyes. She expected to see her new family in bed with her but she was alone. She started to panic. "Mommy! Daddy!" she yelled. No answer. "Mommy where are you? Where's Daddy?" Still no answer. She walked into the other bedroom to see her parents sleeping still.
Good they're okay just sleeping, she thought happily. She decided to make cereal for them. She was pouring cereal in her bowl when the doorbell rang. She skipped to the door and looked through the side window to see… her mom. No Mommy is younger than this lady, she thought.
"Is Rukia here?" the lady outside yelled in a worried voice. "I'm here sister and she didn't call last night. She wasn't in her apartment." the lady started crying.
"Mommy is asleep with Daddy. What's your name?" she said Rukia had told her about her family and this was an identity test.
"Kuchiki Hisana. Did you call Rukia… mommy?" Hisana asked excitedly.
"Yup her and Ichi-chan are my new family." Yachiru said unbolting the door. "I'm Kurosaki Yachiru." she said hugging the lady. Hisana smiled and hugged the girl back.
"Which room are they in Yachiru?" she asked smiling.
Yachiru thought about it then finally said, "Upstairs first bedroom Aunty Hisana!"
"Okay Yachi!" she said brightly. Don't get her wrong she liked being called an aunt but she needed to know why her sister adopted so randomly. She walked in and what she saw shocked her. She yelped and they slowly awoke. Rukia was wearing only a large T-shirt and was wrapped tightly in Ichigo's arms. She was also holding one of his hands.
"Good morning Hisana. Wait a sec… Hisana!?" she yelled getting out of Ichigo's hold but not letting go of his hand.
Ichigo woke with a start. "Whoa! Who are you and how did you get inside my apartment??" he yelled not paying attention to the fact that he just got in a defensive position in front of Rukia.
"You two are soo cute! Rukia why didn't you tell me you met a totally hot guy!" she yelled clapping like a child. Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other, then at their hands and how close they were.
"Aaaaah!" Rukia screamed as they both jumped in surprise falling off the queen-sized bed.
"Get off please!" Ichigo grunted as Rukia landed on his face. She got off and started bowing to Ichigo saying all sorts of apologies. "I forgave you the first time you said sorry! And back to our guest. You two know each other?" he said covering the overly apologetic girl's mouth.
"Oh yea! Yachi let me-" Ichigo mentally hit himself then ran downstairs.
"Yachiru!" he saw her eating cereal and watching TV. He ran towards her and held her tight. "Why did you let in a stranger?" he said sternly.
"It's mommy's sister! Aunty Hisana!" she said sniffling. Ichigo only gets mad at me when I scared him, she thought sadly.
Flashback…
"Ichi-chan! Ichi-chan where are you?" Yachiru sobbed. She had gotten lost in the store playing hide n' seek with her best friend Nel. "Nel I don't want to play anymore!" she yelled crying louder.
"Yachiru!" Ichigo called. He was terrified. Had someone kidnapped her?
"Yachiru! Nel!" Senna called. She lost her daughter and this man lost his.
"Daddy! Nel-chan's mom! I'm over here!" she yelled waiting to be found. "C'mon out Nel! Your mom is here! So is-"
"Yachiru! Don't you ever run off like that again!" he yelled harshly. She just nodded.
Later that same day…
"Yachiru… I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was scared I lost you. Scared Kenpachi might eat me for letting something happen to you. Forgive me?" he said putting the pouting girl on his lap.
"Ichi! I'm sorry too. Nel and I were playing hide n' go seek." she said a smile playing on her lips.
End Flashback…
"Ichi! I'm sorry for letting in a stranger." she said sad that she scared her dad.
"Yachiru… it's hard to stay mad at you." Ichigo said tickling the girl. Neither noticed Hisana and Rukia watch the whole scene unfold.
"Rukia he's great with kids!" Hisana said smiling. Hooking them up would be fun and Byakuya would totally disapprove. Fun! Fun! Fun! Rukia blushed and playfully hit her older sister.
"Me great with kids!" Ichigo started laughing. "Only two kids in this world like me at the moment: Yachiru and her best friend, Nel." he said nicely.
"Don't be so modest honey! I bet a lot of kids will like you!" Hisana said smiling. Rukia noticed the double meaning in her sister's words. She's going to try to hook us up, oh no, she thought.
"Thanks for your kind words Kuchiki-san. I don't think we were properly introduced though. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo said politely. Damn her, she knows the rules not until Rukia's ready, he thought angrily. Hooking up with Rukia was not an option now. He may not like it but he had rules to follow.
"Kuchiki Hisana. Don't be too uptight now." she said plastering on a fake smile. He of all people should break the rules, she thought angrily. Stupid honor. Stupid duty. She would have to break him well technically Rukia was breaking him.
Rukia knew her sister's words had double meaning but she had no idea what the meaning was. "Don't be too uptight now." What does that mean?
"Everyone loosens up at their own pace." he said shrugging. She needs to stop this conversation now, he thought struggling to hide his anger.
What are they hiding. I'll know at my own time. Rukia didn't like the fact they were acting like they never met in front of her. So many people did this to her. Always talking behind her back. She wasn't going to stand for it she would talk to Hisana tonight.
