Previously

'Don't worry. You can do this.'

'I think I'm going to be sick.'

'I tried telling Ichigo.'

'His sister cut me off and I never got the telling him part. And then I bolted.'

"Guess I'll find out soon enough."


Yeh that seems about right. Now with out futher adieu *drum rool*

Why is this taking so long part 6?

By the time the bus stopped near Ichigo's house, Rukia was ready to be sick and she raced off the bus and down the street. She jumped over the gate and without thinking raced through Ichigo's bedroom window and straight through to the bathroom. Luckily she made it just in time, for she couldn't hold on any loner.

'Kid, you're going to starve me to death at this rate.' She teased, looking down at the small bump under her dress.

When the nausea ended she collapsed to the floor, leaning back against the wall for support. She took long deep breathes, finally managing to catch her breathe. She pulled herself off the floor and used the hand basin for support. She turned the clod tap on, allowing a flow of water to fill her cupped hands and she splashed her face with the water.

Her mouth then filled with the horrible taste of vile, which reminded her she didn't flush.

Outside the bathroom

The sound of the flushing toilet sounded as Ichigo came to a halt outside the bathroom door and listened from outside the bathroom, as Rukia started brushing her teeth.

"It's only five. Why is she brushing now?" He thought to himself. He heard the tap running and decided it best not to be caught out here spying on Rukia, so he turned and walked into his bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Rukia walked back across the hallway and opened the bedroom door, still holding her hand over her stomach. She stepped into the brightly lit room and clicked the door shut behind her. The warmth emanating around the room hit her instantly and started to make her head spin. She held the handle of the door for a few seconds, trying to stabilize her head and when she felt better she turned and noticed Ichigo staring at her.

'What's up with you?'

'Nothing. Just have a headache.' She said, trying to stop any further questions. But when Rukia tried escaping into the closet, Ichigo grabbed her wrist and twirled her around to face him.

'A headache doesn't last this long. You have been acting weird all week. And don't give me any of the nothing crap!'

'Let me go!' She started struggling against his firm grip and tried punching him, but he moved quicker than she could and her fist kept missing his head.

'Tell me what's going on then I'll let go!'

'I said nothing. Just leave me alone.' She managed to shove Ichigo off her and escaped into the safety of the closet. Ichigo stared at the closet doors for a second before muttering under his breathe and turning back to his homework.

'Ichigo?' He chucked his pen onto the desk and stood up from his chair, making his way towards the door. He opened it and found Karin standing there with an unfamiliar girl standing next to her.

'What's wrong Karin?' He took note that the girl next to Karin was smiling at him. She had long, honey blonde hair and bright green eyes.

'This is Kana. She said she's your science partner for a project.'

"Oh yeh, that's right." He thought to himself, knowing full well he totally forgot.

'Hi.' The girl now known as Kana said, holding out her hand to him. Ichigo took hold of her hand and gentle shook, noting that when he touched her hand, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

'Hey, come on in and ill get my text book.' He steeped aside to let Kana pass, but as she did he caught Karin glaring at the back of the girls head.

'Something wrong Karin?' She just shook her head and left without saying anything else. He closed the door slowly and turned and noticed Kana sitting on his bed, her jacket discarded next to her showing the purple low cut halter top underneath.

'So where should we start?'

In the closet

Rukia really didn't know what to do. She wiped the tears off her face with the back of her sleeve and chocked back more tears. She pulled her knees up as far as she could and wrapped her arms around her knees, burying her head in her arms.

'Everything's just so complicated.' She murmured to herself. Suddenly a laugh sounded from outside, and Rukia knew it wasn't Ichigo. She shifted closer to the door and peeked out through the crack in the closet door and noticed Ichigo sitting with one leg curled underneath him while his other leg was dangling off the bed, a book balancing in his lap.

And sitting awfully close to him was a blonde girl, who really didn't appear to have any interest in the three books in front of her.

'So Ichigo, do you have any hobbies?' Rukia rolled her eyes at the blonde's question, knowing full well the reason why she was here.

'Not really.'

Hours passed by but not fast enough for Rukia. She was stretched out trying to fall asleep but the loud incessant conversation coming from outside the closet was doing her head in.

'Well it's been really fun hanging out with you.' Kana said, slipping her arms into the sleeves of her jacket.

'Yeah it was great.' Ichigo said, although not really meaning it.

'Maybe we can do it again sometime, like maybe this Saturday.'

'Uhh well…' Ichigo's sentence was cut off when Kana covered his lips with her own. He stood there, not moving and not responding, just waiting for her to stop.

'See you later.' She smiled at him, heading towards the bedroom door. He touched his lips, which were now stained with the red of her lipstick. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and sighed when he noticed the red on his hand. He looked over at the closet, knowing full well Rukia would have witnessed that. He took a step towards the closet and raised his hand to knock but stopped and lowered his hand slowly.

He turned, deciding against talking to Rukia and headed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

When she was sure Ichigo was gone, Rukia slow slid the closet door open and climbed out into the room. Her heart was still beating fast from what she just witnessed. Her hands were shaking and the tears she just managed to stop were welling up in her eyes again. She blinked and the tears started falling down her cheeks. She crossed the room to Ichigo's bed and sat down. She spread out on top of the blankets and cuddled into his pillow, taking in his scent. Slowly sleep took her over and she fell into a gentle slumber.

With Ichigo

Dinner with his family went terribly slow. His father was asking question after question about Kana and Yuzu wasn't any help either. Karin just sat there, not really taking an interest in the conversation and when the opportune moment came around she excused herself from the table and disappeared into her and Yuzu's room.

'What's wrong with Karin? She's been acting strange all night.' Ichigo just shrugged and finished off his dinner in complete silence, managing to ignore his fathers never ending chatter. When he had finished, he picked up his bowl and walked over to the sink and dumped everything in the sink. He walked back up the stairs and just said something about needed to do homework.

Ichigo stopped just outside his bedroom door, his hand hesitating over the door handle. He knew he would more than likely see Rukia and end up needed to talk to her. Something about that kiss felt wrong, like he was betraying Rukia in some way. Even though their not a couple, he felt…

'Argh this is nuts!' He growled opening his bedroom door and letting it close behind him.

He looked towards his bed and frowned.

She was here, lying upon his bed and not in the closet. She was curled up into a little ball, hugging his pillow tightly and messing up his bed. He had half the mind to throw her off and shove her in the closet. The other half of his mind was telling him to let her be when he noticed the dried up tears on her face. He reached into the closet and retrieved her blanket from her bed and draped into over her still form.

With a small smile he abandoned her sleeping form and returned to his desk.

When Rukia finally came to it was about eleven pm and the only source of light was the dim glow from the street lamp outside. Her legs stretched out and her eyes cracked open, greeted by a pitch black room. She sat up slowly and looked around her realising she wasn't in the closet, but instead on Ichigo's bed. Her hand shoved the blanket off her body and she slowly came to sit on the edge of the bed, wondering what the time was. She looked over to the desk and noticed that Ichigo was slumped over, his head cushioned on his forearms.

She quietly walked over to Ichigo and placed a hand on his shoulder, noting the warmth emanating from his body. She peered at his face and noted the peaceful, calm expression and decided to let him sleep. She draped his jacket, which was on the back of the chair, across his back and covered his shoulders. She then made her way back to the closet, climbing in and closing the door behind her.

When her head hit the pillow again she immediately fell back into sleep, only her dreams were filed with Ichigo and the night everything changed…

The next morning Rukia woke up, feeling some what comfortable in her makeshift bed.

'Do I really have to get up? Cant I just stay here all day.' She mumbled to herself stretching out like a cat would. She looked down at her stomach and noticed the small lump protruding through the blanket. It was becoming more painfully obvious that's something was definitely happening.

She reached under her pillow and pulled out a thick, blue hard cover book and flicked passed the calendar straight to the day planners. She stopped on the date and read over the notes she had written across the page.

'3 months.' She smiled, closing the diary and shoving it into her school bag.

'Hey Rukia. You awake yet?'

She slid the closet door open and there Ichigo was standing hold a plate in his hand.

'Morning Ichigo.'

'Here I bought you some toast. Play it safe since you weren't feeling too good last night.'

'Thanks.' She smiled, taking the plate from his hand.

"This is good. This is the way things should be." She thought to herself, crunching down on the golden toast.

'So are you ok?'

'Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?' Rukia said, not really knowing where the conversation was heading.

'I noticed that you had been crying and I a little worried.'

'Oh…' Rukia really didn't know how to respond to that. She put the plate onto the floor just in front of the closet and closed the door again, changing into her school uniform. She grabbed a light sweater, noting that it was rather chilly and opened the closet door again, this time jumping out and landing on her feet.

'Come on Rukia, we better hurry.'

Rukia just sighed and slipped on her shoes and climbed out the window.

At School

'Alright Alright everyone listen up-' Rukia turned her attention back to the substitute teacher standing in front of them. '- Thank you. Now everyone has heard the good news that we won to annual Sports festival a month ago. So now we are one of twelve teams participating in the District Tournament. From there only three players from our team will go on to join an amateur soccer league in Tokyo. So for today we will start some drills and at the half time bell I'll split you into four teams and each team will play each other till we figure out the strongest players.'

"Terrific." Rukia thought to herself, readjusting her shirt back down over her stomach.

'Hmm…lets see. Ok I want Keigo number one, Tatsuki number two, Ichigo number three and Orihime number four to step forward as the captains-' the four of them stepped out from their class and came to stand in front of their teacher. '- Now when I call out a number I want you to stand behind your captains.'

Rukia sunk into a day dream as the teacher started rambling off numbers to each student. The class around her started thinning out but Rukia didn't notice until she felt an elbow bring her out of her mind.

'Kuchiki number one.' The teacher said, obviously a little peeved at having to repeat himself. Rukia stepped forward slowly, coming to stand with the group assembled behind Keigo.

'This is not good.' Tatsuki mumbled, watching Rukia carefully from the corner of her eye. She watched as Rukia spread out from the group into her position on the field and stood there not really knowing what to do. Tatsuki waled off the oval with the rest of her group, but stayed standing, propped up against the metal fence.

The whistle blew and the soccer ball was thrown into the middle of the field and the game began. Some stayed close to the ball, surround either their opponent or team member, while others spread out across the field waiting for the action to come close to them. Rukia stood there watching as the ball was passed around and taken and then kicked across to somebody else, not really understanding the game, nor did she really care.

She looked up at the clouds floating across the sky, the few birds that crossed and a leaf that was fluttering in the wind. Rukia really didn't have an interest in playing the game, so she took interest in other things around her. But she felt a quick tap on her shoulder and noticed a boy running away from her.

'Pay attention!' He yelled out, obviously talking to Rukia. Rukia noticed that the ball had suddenly been shifted in course and was now heading in her direction. It was a girl who held possession of the ball and she was dribbling it up the outside of the field. She slowed her pace slightly and kicked, sending the ball flying through the air; directly at Rukia.

Before she could react, ball slammed into her stomach, sending a sharp jolt through her body. She held her stomach protectively, shaking as her body started to convulse from the pain. She started gulping air, feeling her self sink down onto her knees. Her whole body was humped over, one hand stayed on her stomach while the other steady herself on the ground in front of her.

'Oh my god.' Rukia chocked out. She prayed silently for her baby, tears welling up in her eyes as the pain got worse. She could feel a hand on her back and could hear voices calling out to her, asking her if she was ok, but she couldn't find a way to speak.

With Ichigo

'Ow, man that had to hurt.' Ichigo turned his gaze back to the field and noticed Rukia had stopped playing.

'What happened?' Tatsuki asked quickly, concern laced in her voice.

'She took a ball to the stomach. She'll be fine.'

'Dude I think she's seriously hurt.' Ichigo stood up from the ground slowly, seeing Rukia collapse to the ground tightly hugging her stomach. Tatsuki had already started running across the field towards Rukia. She skidded down onto her knees and stopped next to Rukia, who still hadn't moved.

Back With Rukia

'Rukia! Oh my god!' She looked up at Tatsuki who was now kneeling beside her.

'It hurts.' Rukia managed to say, cringing as another pain shot through her body. Tears started falling from her eyes as she hugged her stomach tighter.

'Rukia, can you stand?' Tatsuki wrapped an arm around Rukia's shoulders, ignoring the crowd of people forming around them.

'I don't know. I think so.' She grabbed Tatsuki's hand and managed to pull herself up off the ground.

'Miss Kisaki!'

'Oh my god Rukia? What the hell happened?' The teacher raced over to Rukia's left and along with Tatsuki they dragged her to the abandoned infirmary, Ichigo's eyes not leaving Rukia till she was well and truly out of sight.

'We need to get her to the hospital. What exactly happened?"

'A soccer ball hit her in the stomach.' Tatsuki said.

'And that's bad how?'

'Here Rukia, lie down.' Kisaki and Tatsuki helped Rukia climb onto the bed and she curled up, clutching her stomach protectively with her arms.

Tatsuki then turned to the teacher and looked her directly in the eye.

'She's pregnant. That's how bad.'

'Kuchki? Is pregnant?' Tatsuki just gave a slight nod, turning her attention back to Rukia. The teacher stared at Rukia for a few minutes before reaching into her jacket pocket and pulled out her cell phone.

'Yes hello. I need an ambulance. I have a pregnant student here who took a blow to the abdomen…She's complaining of pain but there hasn't been any discharge…Karakura High School……Thank you.' She disconnected the call and sat down next to the head of the bed.

'Rukia, helps on the way.'

'Is my baby ok?'

'I'm sure the baby is fine.'

'Really?' The teacher smiled and started talking to reassure Rukia.

'Yes. There doesn't appear.. to…' The teacher looked at Rukia and noticed she had fallen unconscious.

'Rukia?' She reached out her hand and gently rubbed her shoulder.

'Oh no.'

The next few minutes went slowly; two paramedics arrived, loaded Rukia onto a stretcher and carried her down the hall and out the front entrance of the school where Orihime, Ichigo and the others were standing around.

'Rukia?' Ichigo stared down at her. Her face was pale and streaked in sweat, lose hair sticking to her face. One paramedic loaded her into the back of the ambulance connecting a monitor to her chest while the other slammed the doors shut and raced towards the drivers seat.

Tatsuki and Orihime were standing off to the side, watching as the ambulance pulled away from the crowd and disappeared around the corner.
