Normal POV:
Rushed steps through the wide iron gates, down the corridor, up the stairs and finally came to a halt in front of the door. With his strong arm, he grabbed the handles and swung the door open, nearly ripping it out from the hinges in process.
"RUKIA?!" he roared, sending echoes down the hallway, as the other students stood rooted clearly shaken and confused as to what had enraged the young tyrant. He charged in and made a mad dash towards her, skidding to a stop as the petite woman turned to look at him.
"OH! Good morning Ichigo!" she chirped, her alter ego and sweet personnel had already taken over. Ichigo's eyebrow twitched in irritation and he nearly snapped. "How about we eat lunch together alright?" she added, and he was about to open his mouth and reprimand her when he saw that flicker of insanity in her violet orbs. "ALRIGHT ICHIGO?" she repeated, her words slow with edges, giving him a heads up that he was stepping into dangerous territory and probing any further would cost him dearly. He gulped and nodded before taking his seat beside her.
Though he wanted answers immediately, he knew that it was best to leave the matter at rest for now.
.
Throughout the entire first half of the school lessons, he paid no attention(though he hardly did) to what was being taught, his focus was fully on Rukia, frequently taking quick glances to check on the young shinigami.
During break time...

Rukia's POV:
I watched as the white puffs drifted by slowly, moulding into unidentifiable shapes on the large blue canvas. The sun hidden amongst the clouds, the sky of perfect and seemingly never-ending depth of blue. The root top was a usual spot that I went to to loosen when trouble flooded my mind. The view of the wild blue yonder above was unobstructed and limitless.
I felt a hand brush softly across my cheek and I turned to face him. "Rukia, what's wrong? You're making me worry. I'm your friend, I promise to be here for you. Please, please just don't keep it to yourself" he pleaded, his eyes full of concern. I always knew Ichigo as one who had a caring heart, though, always covering it up with a scowl on his face and spouting insolent insults. He hardly, almost never, showed any signs of concern on the exterior..I still remember the first time I saw this side of him, still etched deeply in my memories. That day when he cried and reached out to me just before I walked into the Senkaimon, his face contorted with pain and anguish. It felt like a stab in my heart.
The pang of guilt hit me, tears forming in my eyes. Not wanting him to see me in my weakened state, I turned abruptly away from him. Just at that moment a strong gust of wind blew, lifting my hair away from my neck, leaving it bare.
I felt his fingers poking at my neck and I stiffened.."Rukia" His voice was now hard "what's this thing on your neck?!"
.
.
"I-It's a... It's a rash!" I stuttered, scolding myself for finding such a ridiculous excuse, Ichigo can't be that thick-headed to actually believe that right?.. He looked at me incredulously before squinting his eyes in suspicions, "DO YOU THINK I WOULD ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT RUKIA?!", I covered my ears to stop my eardrums from bursting. "Hehheh.." I laughed nervously, sweat forming between my brows.
"THAT," he stabbed the mark with his finger "is a freaking Hickie! Look, if you wanted to lie, at least come up with something better! BAKA!" he finished, before he smacked me at the back of my head causing me to yelp.
He stood in silence, glowering down at me with his hands crossed across his chest, obviously impatiently waiting for my explanation. I sighed, waiting for awhile before starting, "well, it happened yesterday when you were asleep..."
