G- goodbyes

Walking through the train station, a bittersweet feeling is swelling in Ichigo's heart. Karakura Town is his hometown that he grew up for his whole life. This town is where he learned just about everything from making friends, working jobs, and falling in love. Graduating from Karakura High last week, Ichigo is finally leaving to go to Kyoto University. At Kyoto University, medical programs is ranked number one in the country. This calls Ichigo's attention into becoming a doctor. Joining Ichigo in his studies is Ishida Uryuu, even if they are butting heads they decided to room together. Most of their friends decided to join them in Kyoto. Orihime and Tatsuki are going to the community college right by Kyoto University. Chad is taking a music program and majoring in music. Keigo and Mizuiro decided to take a year off before starting Kyoto Community. But there was one person missing from this group, that person was Rukia Kuchiki.

Staying in Karakura Town, Rukia decided to stay and go to the local college for photography. Rukia wanted to stay and take care of his sisters while he was in college. Isshin let her stay at the Kurosaki house, happily accepting his "third daughter" stay with them until Ichigo returned from college. Deep in his mind Ichigo thought this would be a bad plan, he wanted to stay with his best friend. He wanted to stay with her, but she told him not to stay. He disagreed and he let that out at her last night.

(June 12, 8:46 P.M.)

I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife for what seems like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied.

Pacing back and forth from his closet to his bed, Ichigo packs his bag for the move tomorrow. Sitting on his bed while reading her manga, Rukia attempts to busy herself from watching Ichigo pack. She knew this would be happening for a long time, but she never thought she would see the day when Ichigo left home for college. "You know Rukia, you can't ignore me forever." Looking up to Ichigo, Rukia says nothing and keeps reading her manga. Slamming his suitcase closed, Ichigo decides that the silent is enough. "Will you just answer me for once?! I just need to know if you will be okay? I don't want to leave you if you can't handle this." Shaking with anger, Ichigo didn't notice Rukia stand up. Walking over and pushing Ichigo down to sit on a chair, Rukia looks at him with cold eyes and talks low. "Ichigo, I've told you once and I'll tell you again. I'll be just fine. Go ahead and chase your dream of being a doctor. I know you will come back for me. Please, just.. just finish. You need to wake up early."

She looks at me and says "Really baby? I'll be just fine."
but then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry.

Walking out of the room, Ichigo catches a glimpse of tears slowly falling down her face. The door closes right when Ichigo is about to catch her arm. Cursing and sliding down the door, Ichigo holds his head with his hands. Guilt runs through his body as he pictures Rukia crying. He never thought in a million years he would see Rukia cry over anything, especially him. Feeling the need to fix everything between them, Ichigo runs outside to look for Rukia. Running down the streets, Ichigo finds himself getting angrier and angrier at himself. Sweat rolls down his face as he breaks down in a sprint to the park. Hearing his heart beat grow in his chest, Ichigo pushes himself faster to find the girl he needs. Finding a body on the swings, Ichigo feels a little better about himself in finding Rukia. Slowing down to catch his breath, Ichigo takes a few moments before walking behind her. Wrapping his arms around her shoulders, Ichigo calms himself down with the contact.

If you miss me, I'm just a phone call away.
Please be strong, be strong for me.
For my heart, for their sake. Please be strong, be strong for me.

Feeling shock at the sudden warmth around her. Rukia feels her throat become dry, making her unable to talk right away. Tightening his grip, Ichigo takes a few deep breaths and begins to talk. "I found you midget, you had me so scared. Why did you leave? I thought we could talk this out. So just hear me out right now. I'm sorry for leaving you here, but you wanted me to go to fulfill my dream. How difficult do you think this is for me? All that I want to know is that you will always be here for me. If you are strong for me, I know I will be able to handle the distance away from you. Just know you can always call me. That's the reason why I got you a new phone after you broke your other one." Grabbing his arms for support, Rukia could feel even more tears fall down her face. Picking the girl up off the swing, Ichigo carries her back home.

Opening the door to his bedroom, Ichigo can feel how drained his body is. Climbing into the bed, Ichigo moves close to Rukia. Putting his arms around her waist, Ichigo keeps her secured. ' Everything will be okay Rukia, please don't go ever.' Closing his eyes, Ichigo let's slumber take over his body.

(Karakura Train Station, 8:57 A.M.)

Looking at the clock, Ichigo stands up and walks up to the entrance of the train. Already saying goodbye to everyone, Ichigo thought it would be time to go. It already took forever just to get out of the death grip from his family, but he wished there was one more person there. He did not see Rukia with them, and that put him into a sour mood. Putting his scowl on his face, Ichigo is one step into the train when he feels something.

Pressure is felt on his back when he realizes it as a body. Turning around to yell at the person, Ichigo is surprised to see violet orbs. Sewing that the stranger was Rukia, Ichigo stepped off the train and held her close."Ichigo you can relax your grip a little or else I'm going to suffocate." Ignoring her protest, Ichigo tightens his hold. Rolling her eyes at his stubbornness, Rukia flicks him in th face. "Idiot listen to me. Let me go and get on the train. College is calling you. Don't worry I'll be fine. Just call meveryday so I know you are safe. I'll be waiting for you Strawberry."

Feeling the weight fall off his shoulders from her words, Ichigo settles a soft kiss on her forehead. Smiling at the midget one last time, Ichigo finally let's her go. "Rukia, stay safe. Don't destroy anything when I'm gone. I'll call you later when I get to Kyoto. I'll miss you, midget. I really will. Bye Rukia." Walking onto the train, Ichigo waves at Rukia. Stuffing his hand in his pocket, he feels paper in it. Opening the paper, Ichigo sees a poorly drawn picture of a Chappy version of him and Rukia talking on the phone. Laughing at the picture, Ichigo takes his phone out to text Rukia about the picture. 'Stupid Chappy picture. I sadly like this one, but I better not see it all over my room when I get back. Shit, I let the old man let Rukia have my room. Please let me die at college.'
