Midnightwolf92, Denidene, SukiAmaya, and Shadow Pain, thank you for sticking with me this far. Yes, sadly, this story is at it's end.
"Is that all?" asked Kikyo as the last of Rukia's belongings went inside her truck.
"Yeah." Rukia said. She looked at her house one last time before walking down the steps and going in Kikyo's truck.
"The walking distance to school should be close to the same." said Kikyo as she started the truck.
Rukia nodded. "Okay."
Kikyo smiled at Rukia and the rest of the ride was in silence. When they got to Kikyo's house, Rukia looked at the house she would be calling home from now on. It was a lot smaller than her house but Rukia knew she'd manage. They got her stuff out of the truck and took them inside. "Let me show you to your room." said Kikyo once all of Rukia's stuff were inside.
"Good idea."
Kikyo led Rukia down the hall and stopped at a wooden door that had a purple butterfly carved into the wood. "Ta da!" exclaimed Kikyo as she opened the door. Rukia stepped in and smiled.
The room was exactly how Rukia liked it. It was simple yet it was comfortable. The walls were a light purple, the bed looked nice and comfy. There was a desk in front of the window which had a very nice view of the front yard. Perfect place to do homework, thought Rukia. There was a shelf next to the desk were she can put the few books she brought with her, and last but not least, the closet was the perfect size. "It's perfect." Rukia said with a smile as she turned to look at Kikyo.
Kikyo clapped her hands together. "Oh good! Shall I go make us some dinner while you get organized?" she asked. Rukia nodded and Kikyo left the room. Rukia put her hands on her hips as she looked at her pile of stuff and thought about were to start. She looked at her clothes and started with that.
"Out of all the Princes and Princesses, I would never think that you would fall in love with a mere human." the King said with disgust.
Toshiro glared at squad three's Captain/Prince. Captain Ichimaru Gin was sent to the human world to make sure everything was going smoothly and he saw everyting that went between Toshiro and Rukia; including the kiss. "Yes, but I have left her." he said calmly.
"Oh but you're always thinking about her and that we can't have. So that is why I'm having Captain Soin Fon to kill her." said the King.
"What!" shouted Toshiro as his eyes widen. Captains of squad nine and seven refrained him from leaving. Soi Fon shunpoed out of there and Toshiro yelled out. "No!" He struggled against the two captains and knew he wouldn't be able to escape unless he called on Hyourinmaru.
His reaitsu rose and he summoned Hyourinmaru. "Reign over the frozen heavens! Hyourinmaru!" shouted Toshiro. A blue-white dragon appeared and Toshiro jumped on his back. Hyourinmaru blew ice at the other captains before leaving the room.
"After him!" boomed the King. Captains of squad seven and nine went after him but Toshiro was far ahead since Hyourinmaru is a dragon.
"Rukia! Dinner's ready!" yelled Kikyo from the Kitchen.
"Okay!" Rukia shouted back as she put the bed covers on her bed. She looked at her room and thought it turned out nice. She left her room and went to eat.
"RUKIA!" yelled Toshiro as he went through Rukia's old window. Toshiro was met with an empty room. He almost panicked but then he sensed her not too far from where he was. He shunpoed out of there sensing Soi Fon not far behind.
"How was dinner?" asked Kikyo as she washed the dishes and Rukia dried them.
"It was amazing!" Rukia answered honestly.
"Aw! Thank you!" Kikyo smiled at Rukia. "How do you like your room?" she asked as she handed Rukia a plate to dry.
"It's perfect." Rukia said as she turned around to put the plate on the counter behind her. "I lov-"
CRASH!
Rukia stared, her jaw hanging open and eyes wide, at the man before her. At the man she thought she would never get to see again. "H-Hitsugaya-sama!" Rukia squeaked out.
"Who are you?" asked Kikyo as she looked at Toshiro.
Toshiro ignored Kikyo. "Rukia, I have to get you out of here!" He said urgently as he grabbed Rukia's hand and started leaving the kitchen.
"Why?" Rukia asked as she walked.
"Kuchiki Rukia. Hitsugaya Toshiro. You two are under arrest under the direct order from the King himself!" said Soi Fon as she appeared and blocked their path.
"Damn!" cursed Toshiro as he pulled Rukia behind him.
"What's going on?" Rukia asked, frightened.
Toshiro glanced at Rukia as he informed her. "They want to kill you because I fell in love with you." Rukia's eyes widen when she heard that he, too, fell in love. "But there's no way I'm letting you die." he said as he took out his sword.
Soi Fon narrowed her eyes at him. "I have permission to attack and kill you if necessary." She spoke but Toshiro didn't move a muscle. "Fine then." muttered Soi Fon before charging at Toshiro.
Toshiro pushed Rukia as he blocked Soi Fon's sword. "Get out of here!" He yelled at Rukia.
"But-"
"Go!" Rukia turned to run but Soi Fon appeared in front of her; sword aiming at her chest. Toshiro eyes widen as he saw what was happening. "Rukia!" He yelled as he ran to her...
"T-Toshiro!" Rukia cried. Toshiro was in front of Rukia with Soi Fon's sword piercing his chest which could kill any human or immortal.
Rukia caught Toshiro as he fell. "Toshiro." She whispered as tears fell.
Toshiro smiled weakly at Rukia. "I'm sorry Rukia."
"How touching, too bad though." smirked Soi Fon. She raised her sword, about to impale Rukia but then she was surrounded by pink sakura petals.
"What!" hissed Soi Fon.
"Don't even try." said a calm and angered voice. Rukia's head snapped at the new voice. It was Byakuya.
Byakuya looked at Rukia's tearful face."You are going to pay." he said as he lifted his sword.
Soi Fon shunpoed out of the house but not before saying to Byakuya, "You will get punished."
Rukia stared at Byakuya after Soi Fon left. "You're... you're-"
"It doesn't matter. How is..?" Byakuya gestured at Toshiro who was barely breathing.
"Toshiro!" Rukia's attention went back to Toshiro.
"I'm sorry, Rukia." Toshiro apologized once again.
"Ssh. You have nothing to be sorry for." Rukia said softly before giving him a soft, gentle kiss.
"Good bye, Rukia... I love you." Toshiro said weakly before his eyes closed for good.
"Toshiro!" Rukia sobbed as he clung onto Toshiro's chest.
Byakuya went to Rukia. "Rukia, there's not much time." Rukia looked at Byakuya confused. "They'll most likely come here and you have to leave. Here, go to this place. This man should be able to help you." Byakuya said as he handed her a piece of paper that said "The Urahara Shop."
"But-"
"Go. You must hurry." Byakuya urged as he pushed her out the door.
"But what about you!" Rukia asked as she got out the door.
"I'll be fine." He said. Rukia didn't believe him but she ran and didn't look back.
This must be the place.
Rukia thought as she walked up to a shop that had a sign saying "Urahara Shop."Rukia walked to the door , took a deep breath and knocked. The door opened and a man with a fan opened the door. "Ah! I was expecting you!" he said as he let Rukia walk in.
"Um, I was told you could help me?" Rukia stated it as a question.
"Of course I am! But not before I show you to someone." He smile mischievously. He led Rukia to a room in the back and opened it. Rukia could not believe what she was seeing. There in front of her, laying down all bandaged up was Toshiro.
Tears of joy came out of Rukia's eyes as she ran to him and hugged him. "Toshiro!" she cried.
Toshiro hugged her back, smiling. "Rukia."
She let go of him. "But h-how? I-I-"
"He was able to heal me, bringing me back." said Toshiro to Rukia.
"Ah, yes but at a price. You're no longer an immortal." he told Toshiro.
Toshiro shrugged. "That's better. Now I can be with Rukia." He said with a smile.
Rukia smiled and cried as she hugged him again. "I love you." she whispered to him.
"I love you, Rukia." Toshiro whispered gently to Rukia as she cried.
Okay, that was it. End of story. Review please!
