Alternate Ch2 (Rukia's Version)
~Rukia watching over Ichigo from Soul Society~
Rukia had gotten into the habit of looking in on Ichigo from time to time. It was not very often as she had new duties since becoming a Vice-Captain. She knew that Ichigo was terribly down about losing his powers, but things were peaceful for a time and she knew that put some of Ichigo's fears of not being able to protect his friends at ease.
I won't give up on us,
Even if the skies get rough,
I'm giving you all my love,
I'm still looking up.
Rukia kept it a secret from Ichigo that she was checking up on him. She knew she was a reminder of what he had lost. She also knew that if there was a way for Ichigo to protect his friends again, he would find it.
And when you're needing your space,
To do some navigating,
I'll be here patiently waiting,
To see what you find.
'Cause even the stars they burn,
Some even fall to the earth,
We've got a lot to learn,
God knows we're worth it,
No, I won't give up.
Rukia -I know you won't give up either, Ichigo.-
