Enjoy!
Normal POV:
The sun was peeping from just above the horizon, filling the wide sky with it's enchanted rays, the explosion of complementary colors; blue and coral. Birds chirping to their own melody, the trees swaying with each gust of wind, one would describe the magnificent sight as breath-taking. The definite arrival of morning.
In the house of Kurosaki, the petite raven-haired women stirred, lids lazily lifted to reveal amaranthine violet eyes. Rukia shut her eyes tightly again as the sudden intense glare of light flowing through the window hit her face-on. The practice of automatically rising early every morning was no doubt, due to the years of practice as a Kuchiki. With squinted eyes, she began taking in her surrounding.
Wait, the closet doesn't have a window, so how did it get so bright?..And is it..is there someone breathing on me?...
.
.
As if turning to accept the horrifying death that was coming to consume her, she braced herself and faced the foreseen yet dreaded predicament. Kurosaki Ichigo...
Had she not been quick enough to cover her mouth, she could have awoken the said individual that was lying next to her with a piercing scream. Not wanting to be caught dead in this undesirable situation, Rukia quickly got out from the bed and made a dash to the bathroom.
Once in, Rukia wasted no time and started throwing water to her face, hoping that the cold rush of water would calm her down or alert her senses.., "Rukia, get a grip of yourself! Nothing happened, everything's fine right?" she sternly scolded herself. She gave a self-comforting smile, hoping it would give her some assurance or confidence, and looked up to the mirror.
And there it was, the size of a quarter or a freaking pebble, red and raw.
.
A. fucking. HICKIE..
.
If she didn't know better, she would have thrown herself out of the window by now, and thank goodness for that one drop of sanity still left in her.
Rukia's POV:
Judging by the position of the Sun across the sky, I still had about 20 minutes before Ichigo wakes up and before that I'm not ready to face him just yet. I quickly grabbed my school uniform and tossed it on myself, not caring if everything was in place. As soon as I was done, I made a quick check to my appearance, relieved that the mark wasn't that visible thanks to the collar and my hair. Still, better safe then sorry.
.
I sped down the stairs, a few steps at a time, to see the rest of the Kurosaki family already up and sitting at the dining table. With rushed greetings, I shoved the delicious food down my throat without tasting and gave my thanks to Yuzu.
"Please help me tell Ichigo that I'm heading off to school first alright? I've got some things to do. Arigatou!" I spoke as calmly as I could, not wanting to raise any suspicions. "Sure Third Daughter! No problemmmmm!" Isshin enthusiastically replied before pulling me into a warm embrace. I bowed slightly and slowly strode out of the house.
I made sure that no one was around before I started running and made my way to school, I needed all the time I had left to compose myself for the events of the day, be it good..or bad.
Ichigo's POV:
.
About thirty minutes later...
.
.
"FUCK!" I cursed as my hand slammed down on the alarm clock, the obnoxious ringing from the contraption giving me a splitting headache. After all that energy I used during Hollow hunting last night, it was hard not to make an excuse for myself to stay in bed for the rest of the day, I was really really tired..Ah well, who could blame me right? "HEHH" I laughed at my own clever-ness and was about to head back to sleep when the old goat came bashing in.
"IIIIIIICHIGOOOOOOOOO!" my dad yelled as he sent a flying kick directed at my face, which was easily blocked despite how much my body refused to move. I gritted my teeth in anger and punched him in the guts, wasn't it too early for all this ruckus?! "What do you want?! I'm trying to get some sleep!" I yelled as I dodge another attack and slammed him to the ground.
The old goat sat up from the floor his face had just dented into and gleamed at me, "well, my darling third daughter wanted me to inform you of her departure to school, so I, whom she has entrusted this very important information to, is here as a messenger".
Rukia left on her own?!..My insides started twisting and my mind was filled with the worst scenarios of how she might be in danger or hurt.
"Well?! What are you waiting for my stupid Son? Go find her!" he hollered before shoving my uniform in my face and running away.
.
This wasn't like her to go alone..Did something happen to her? Maybe she was going to meet someone? There was an endless list of possibilities and my mind was spinning. No point sitting here and thinking when I could go find out what the answer was. I rushed through my before-school routine and headed for school, hoping to find her there.
"Stupid Midget!.." My words were rough but my mind flooded with panic and worry.
.
.
So that's all for Chapter 4! :)
Maybe if I have the mood, I'll write another chapter immediately after~
I hope this chapter was a good one for all you readers, even though nothing much happened.
The drama will happen from the next chapter onwards!
Stay Tuned! :
R and R!
Kemeyeo,
