Stitches

"Rukiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Yo!" Ichigo yelled running up the stairs, meeting his fiance' on the roof, adding the "yo" as an after thought, "Waaaat's wrong?" he asked in an unusually cheerful way, unusual for him anyway, although, since the engagement, and since he found out (through every fault of his owne) that he, Rukia, Momo, Youraweichie, and Renji were to become captins (and he a captin commander) he had been nearly always cheerful, and so, all things considered, he should be happy, ans so should his bride, Rukia, but she was standing on the roof top, their meeting place, staring depressingly down out into the city, "Hey!" Ichigo yelled noticing that the young Soul Reaper girl was not paying attention to him, he put his hand ontop of her small head and grabbed at her short hair, making her eyes bug out and making her pay attention to the current events, Ichigo new well of the action's efect as the late Kian Shiba, someonr the young Soul Reaper girl had greatly admired, always did this to get Rukia's attention, it made her hair stand on end too, wich Ichigo found amusing, "Wat?! Wat do you want?!" Rukia asked angerly, she didn't appreciate the fact that even though Ichigo resembled Kian right down to the hairstyle, (though the hair couler was diffrent) that he take the liberty to do that, for it was something that she only allowed Kian to do, although it was bad enough wen Kian does it, but now it was just plain irritating! "Wat's wrong?" Ichigo asked again, "Nothing's wrong, why would anything be wrong?" "Oh, I don't no, maybe because you look like someone died!" Ichigo had the habbit of being casual and then yelling, although most boys did, but he was louder! And right next to Rukia's ear wen he did it! "Well, I don't no wat you're talking about, considering you just rendered me deaf!" "Now I'm deaf too!" "Shut up!" they both yelled in an unfoutinately simaler fashion, "And anyway, it isn't me who's depressed,-" "Oh like I'm gonna believe that? After everything last year?! 'Go away Ichigo! I deserve to die and I understand that!' And if you say one word about that hole inccedent-" "Thanks for cutting me off! I wasn't finished ya' no! And anyway it wasn't me who's depressed it's Orahime and I was just trying to figure out why! And I completely had come to terms with it!" "Oh, Orahime's up here? Gee, I woulda' thought that she woulda' come over here by now and shut us up! I bet half the city could here us!" "Well that's your fault for being so loud! And I can't believe you just noticed her you unobservent jerk!" "Wat?!" Ichigo backed off slowly and stepped over to Rukia's side so that he could do something he rarely did, wisper! "So, wat's she so depressed about? It isn't like we're leaving, she and Uuryu are coming with us," "Well if I new that I wouldn't be this deep in thought about it!" Rukia exclaimed quitely, "Don't start with me!" "Well, let's go see," so the two walked over to the girl who was currently unaware of the previouse events, "So! Orahime, wat's up?" "Huh? Is someone else up here?" "No why?" Rukia asked honestly confused, "Well, it's just that you don't usually put on that act unless someone else is up here," "Act? Wat act?" "Rukia," Ichigo interjected, "we no that's your gooody two shoes act, ounce you've showen someone your true self you can't usually fool them," "Uh! I wasn't acting I was seriouse!" "Oh, really? You usually don't act that preppy and girly unless your acting!" "Shut up! Yes I do! So, Orahime, wat's up?" "Nothing," "Really? You looked depressed," Ichigo said bluntly, "Wat he means is," Rukia said jabbing him in the stomach, "we were worried about you, you looked kinda sad," "Oh no! I'm fine!" "Ok, then," "Rukia and Ichigo walked back to the other end of the roof, "I don'y beleive her," Rukia said as soon as they were out of earshot, "Me neither,So wat are we gonna do?" Ichigo asked leaning over the railing, just then Orahime walked quitely down the stairs and shut the door behind her, "Follow her," Rukia said with a girn, "Oh this CANNOT end well!" "Maybe," "Everytime you meddle in other people's buisness it turns out horrible!" Ichigo said, trying to get Rukia to leave it alone and not to meddle, "Nuh uh!" "Remember the calender incedent?" "That was a success!" "Then why did you end up saying 'Sorry Ichigo it had to be done',?" "Atleast I got my picture!" "Yeah, well, I still hate that day!" "Watever! Come on!" Rukia insisted, dragging Ichigo towards the door

"Really! It's no trouble at all!" Orahime insisted, at first it seemed to Ichigo and Rukia that she was on her cell phone, wich turned out not to be the case, "It's hard to believe you stitched it up yourself! Atleast let me take them out for you!" she insisted, "Really, that's ok, I mean you should probably be spending the rest of the week finishing things up here, before we go to Soul Society, I don't want to interupt you!" they heard a man's voice, a familar voice, the two peered out from behind the corner to see Orahime talking with Uuryu, who was the most amazing sewer that either of the two spyes had ever nowen! So it was no surprise that he stitched something up, wat was on the weird side was that Orahime wanted to take the stitches OUT of something, wich was extra shocking beacause, to their nowledge, Orahime wasn't skilled with a needle and thread, "Oh please!It'll give me something to do! And it'll delay making me say 'goodbye', please?" "Well," "Yes! Thank you Uuryu! Let's go!" Orahime pressed, dragging the dark haired boy out of the school building, and ofcourse the two spies followed them

Rukia looked through the window of Uuryu's house, Ichigo just shook his head shamefully, "Don't be long, ok? I was hoping to do something fo you in return for the favor," Uuryu said gently, taking Orahime into his living room, Ichigo crawled closer to the window, the window was open so they could hear everything, "Alright," Orahime replied, "I love this time of year! The spring flowers are beautiful! And the wind is always the perfect tempiture!" she said dreamily, Uuryu sat down on the soft red carpet of his floor, and tugged on the corner of his shirt, letting it drop ever so slightly to reveal a small, stitched up wound going down his shoulder, he pushed up his glasses in a shy way, Orahime walked ver to the side of Uuryu, picking up a pare of sewing siccors from the table behind him, as she began to work at the wound, "He's wounded!" Rukia wispered quitely, "Yes, I can see that Captin Obviouse!" Ichigo wispered back, they turned back to the window just in time to see Uuryu casually slide his shirt back on, considering how long it took to take out the stitches and the fact that they hadn't seen the hole wound, the two assumed that the wound was relitivly small, "Gee, wounder wat happened to him," "I don't no!" Rukia snapped, trying despretly to keep quite, lest they risk being caught, Orahime stepped up to dispose of the bloody thred, Uuryu stepped up as well, but for a diffrent reason, he disapeared inside his oom for a moment, and soon emerged with a box, Orahime also emerged "Here you go, I made this for you, to wear to Soul Society," Uuryu said handing her the box, she unraveled the ribbon around it and lifted up the lid, "Aaaaaa," she breathed, as she lifted a beautiful red, chinese silk dress out of the box, it had diffrent desighns embrodered on it, "This must've taken forever!" she breathed, "Not too long," he said blushing, and pushing his glasses back into place, "Oh my gosh! I love you!" she slurred, "Oh, I uh," "It's ok Orahime, because I love you too," he said leaning into a deep kiss, "Awwwwwwww!" Rukia cooed, causing the two to stop and look out the window, Rukia and Ichigo ducked into the bushes, after Rukia had throwen a diamond engagement ring into the room, "Nice goin' Idiot!" Ichigo wispered, as Uuryu closed the window angirly, and brought the ring up to Orahime, Rukia and Ichigo don't no wat happened exactly, only that they were then engaged

The next day the four were walking along wen Ichigo brought up an interesting point, "So Rukia, do you just carry around engagement rings?" "No, I bought that noing that they would get engaged soon," Ichigo just stared up at the sky, stunned by wat he just heard THE END

I Remember

NOTE: From Rukia's POV
Rain, rain is nature's fury, and I am afraid of the rain, and yet, I am grateful to the rain, because, if it wasn't for Nature's furry, I wouldn't be laying next to him right now, it was on a night simaler to this one, dark and cold, I remember that he said that he was going to go put a towel under the door, and come right back, I remember that I ran down the stairs after him, after the first lightening strike, I ran and bumped into something soft and warm, I fell on the floor, and I remember wen he bent down, and gave me his hand to help me up, I remember being too afraid to move, so we sat on the floor, against the wall, untill it stopped, I didn't ask him to stay, but he new how scared I was, the first clap of thunder, I remember my heart jumping, I must have been shaking, because I remember him pulling me closer, and he let his arm drape over my shoulder, I remember the way he stroked my hair, and he gave me his shoulder to lay my head on, but most of all, I remember that during the next clap of thunder, he rose my face, and kissed me, I am no longer as afraid of thunder as I was, and I owe all this, this love for him, I owe it all, to nature's furry

Just One Day

Ichigo woke up, his legs felt like jello, and his hands were numb, he didn't want to open his eyes, he didn't want to return to the world around him, his heart thumped, he felt suffocated, he fellt pressured, this was the firs time he had ever felt this way, espically about her, he didn't no why, but that morning, he had felt something new, something he didn't want to feel, something he was afraid to feel, atleast, he felt that way at first, but as he retreated to the sweet memory, a new light shone on his feelings *flashback*

It was morning, Ichigo rose up, surrendering to the sunlight that entered his room, he turned to the closet, he felt something strange, a feeling of emptyness, he wobbled over to the closet, he nocked on the door, it felt hollow and there was no response, he slid the door open slightly, (he had never opened the door sine Rukia started said living there, either she opened it or she said that it was ok for him to open it,) then he opened the door a little more, the small girl that usually sat inside, ready to lighten the world, was gone, Ichigo raised an eyebrow, the thumping of his heart sped up, like it did wen she was in danger, or wen she ran away for the first time, he hear the door open, and turned around, there she was, Rukia Kuchki, and for the first time, he had seen her as more than, "Rukia," as more than, "Soul Reaper," and as alot more than, "Idiot," he saw her as Rukia, the girl with a bird's name, the girl that's so petit, she could break with a singal touch, and yet, she could her owne, he didn't hear her name with a dull tone, he heard her name with a swift, magical tone, "Rukia," she rubbed the back of her head with a towel, her other hand still on the door nob, a beautiful pink robe surronded her small body, her violet eyes were closed and her pale skin finally had some couler to it, her cheeks were deep red, beads of sweat and water trickled down her, her hair was messy, and the steam from the shower lingered on her still, Ichigo stared at her, 'How beautiful,' he thought, not because she had just come out of the shower, (possibly inspite of it) but because she really looked like a woman, an elegant image of beauty, that stepped lightly on the carpted floor of his room, "Oh, good morning, Ichigo," her voice held a deep elegance to it, that surronded him like flowing water, "Mornin'" he replied, it was the first time he had felt this strong impulse, this thing that told him that he was in love with her, but he didn't want to feel that way, he didn't want to be in love, he didn't want to become one of those guys that was all over her, or that would never leave her alone, (like Keigo) or even one of the guys in between, he wanted to keep getting called an idiot, getting abused everytime he insulted her, he didn't want Rukia to become one of those girls that cried if he called her "idiot" or that would say, "Hang on, let me finish my make up," one of those girls that never left him alone, that wasn't who she was, she was strong and independent, he didn't want that to change, so he couldn't fall in love with her, *end flashback*

Ichigo smiled at the memory, as he opened his eyes from his nap, he realized that maybe, they could stillbe that way, they could still call eachother "stupid," or "idiot," and they could still fight about everything, just playfully, you no, minus the multiple feats of phisical abuse, Ichigo closed his eyes, the warmth of the steam and the sent of Lavender surronding him ounce more, as the robbed Rukia stepped into his mind, he opened his eyes again, he leaned down and looked at Rukia, who was sprawled out on the floor, drawing, with a cookie hanging out of her mouth, he got off of his bed, his legs just now regaining feeling, he laye next to her, "Wat'cha drawin'?" Rukia looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Bunnies, why?" "Just askin'," Rukia looked at him again, then returned to her drawings, Ichigo was acting weird, he smiled, his eyes seemed to smile to, they held a softness to them that was unusual to see in him, she pu a hand to his head, "Are you feeling ok?" he lightly grabbed her rist and dropped it down to the floor, her eyes were big and wide, "Do you want to play cards?" he asked, kindness dripping in his voice, "Wat is 'cards'?" she asked, his smile grew brighter, the fact that she could be so smart and yet so obliviouse to the world around her, made him love the girl even more, he could tell wen she was pretending to be confused for watever purpose, but there were many times that she was genieunly confused, so many terms, items, objects, ways of living, so many thing were unused in Soul Society, "Seretie" actually means "Court Of Pure Souls" so it's no wounder that wen Ichigo told her tat Keigo was hitting on her she said, "Keigo dosen't hit me," it sort of reminded him of how unpure humans are, and it sort of made him happy that he and Rukia were Soul Reapers, "Earth to Ichigo!" she waved a hand in front of him, that was another term he had taught her, Ichigo pulled out a deck of cards and shuffled, "Wat do you want to learn first?" he asked

After hours of card games, and multiple peices of candy later, Rukia was learning the last card game that Ichigo new, poker, earlier Ichigo had decided that it would be more fun if they ad waggers, Rukia was easily board with cards, untill waggers were involved, and after he lost the rights to the first shower of the morning, along with the rights to his bed, he decided to bet candy, mostly because other things that Rukia wanted included: 24 hour rights t the remote, cash, a chappy doll, a coupon to kick Ichigo in the shin wenever she wanted, and his pants, (That, is just to annoy him,) Well, he wasn't about to lose all that, so he bet candy, luckily most of it was bunny shaped, and if it wasn't, it was chocalate, and she never ate the bunny shaped stuff, "Wat's the diffrence between poker and strip poker?" she asked, "Wat?!Were did you learn that?!" "This guy named Weasel said that wen I learn to play cards we could play strip poker," she sounded so innocent wen she said that, "From now on, wait on me, and, were did you see Weasel?" "Why?" "Because I want to find him so that I can shove his head into the nearest ant hill," "I meant why can't I stop and ask for directions, but that's good to no to," "Because guys will take advantege of innocent looking girls like you, and all things considered, you're easy to take advantege of," "First of all, wat do you mean by that? Second of all, nu-uh! Men just don't like to ask for directions," a hint of anger rang in her voice, "First of all, it's just that people use terms that you dont understand, in fact, it's a good thing that you didn't no how to play cards, or you'd be in a terrible situation, second of all, so wat?! Women can't read maps!" "We can so!" "Can not!" "Can so!" "Can not!" "Can so!" "If you can read maps then we can ask for directions!" "Nuh0uh!" "Uh-huh!" they were now standing, the meaningless argument went on and on, untill Rukia got fed up and pushed Ichigo into the closet and came at him witha pillow, he swept his foot under her to nock her off her balence, it worke all to well, Rukia was on top of Ichigo, who was pinnned to the floor, their eyes met, Rukia had him pinned, they didn't get up right away, Rukia's heart fluttered, she wanted to kiss him, he held her rists, and the metal chain inside her her head snapped, she couldn't take it anymore, her head lowered, she was about to kiss him, but her Soul Phone rang, just before she could,

Rukia streched her arms up, the rain pelted the window, but that was ok, the thunder clapped and the lightening flashed, that on the other hand, wasn't ok, her heart jumped with each clap, with each flash, Ichigo put a hand on her shoulder, she jumped slightly, Ichigo new that the girl was scared of thunder storms, all things considered, he new that Rukia was going to kiss him earlier, and he also new that they weren't immature children that thought of coodies or being a wimp wen they were close to eachother, with a paticuarly loud clap of thunder, Rukia grabbed ahold of Ichigo's waist, she cenched onto him tightly, he encircled her with his arms, letting her find comfort in his chest, she let go after a moment, "S-sorry," "Don't appoligize, say, you're scared, I'm tired, you're welcome to sleep in my bed," his blush deepened, so did her's, but she smiled and nodded softly, they crawled into Ichigo's bed, Rukia fell asleep quickly, she was so beautiful, so fragil, so preciouse, such a wounderful soul, in such a little body, he brushed a stray hair out of her eyes, and she was so strong too, her breathing was sweet, a little cluttered, not like snoring though, it was cute, like a puppy, kind of, oh, Ichigo couldn't discribe it, she rolled over and clung onto Ichigo, they were now facing eachother, Ichigo ran his finger through the small creases of her palm, he new it tickled, weather or not she woke up, it didn't matter to him, sure enough, she did, "Was'a'matta?" she slurred, still half asleep, he kissed her lips softly, barely making cntact, her eyes shot open, she smiled, they kissed again, but it was no longer sweet and soft, it was more passionate, her lips tasted like strawberries, he ran his hand through he silky hair, she wrapped her arms around his neck, they broke apart for air, smileing and breathing heavily, catching her breath, Rukia wispered in Ichigo's ear, "My love for you," in a high sing~song voice, (but not the creepy kind as these are actually song lyrics) "My love for you," he repeated, not singing however, "Why not sing?" Rukia asked, "Because, I don't sing," "It'd be cute," "Cute? Ok, go back to sleep," "Why?" "You're even cuter wen you sleep," "Why?" "Well, for one, you make this cute little breathing noise," it was dark but Ichigo could tell that she was smiling, and questioning him, this love was pure and eternal THE END

If We Were Married

NOTE" Rukia's POV about Ichigo

If we were married,
I'm not saying he'd be the perfect husband,
Or I the perfect wife,
We wouldn't have perfect children,
Or live a perfect life,
If we were married,
This,
I promise you,
We'd control our destinies,
And do wat we want to do,
If we were married,
Things wouldn't be perffect,
We would still fight,
Still argue and squable,
But we would kiss,
Every singal nighth,
If we were married,
I would finally be happy!
I would hardly ever cry,
I'd be thankful every day,
And smile up at the sky,
Soon though,
We will be married,
So I uess,
I should chhange the "if"
To a "wen",
Shouldn't I?

Cerry Blossum Tree

"Well wat is it?" Rukia stopped stroking the orange hair of the boy below her, "Hm?" "Wat's wrong?" "Nothing's wrong," she smiled solemly and continued stroking the boys hair, his eyes remained closed but he was not asleep, he rested his head in her lap, the remained under the Cherry Blossum Tree, the wind blew petals down from the tree, "Rukia, Im not falling for it," Rukia lifted her head from Ichigo's orange hair, she held it up, as a singal petal fell into her palm, she brought the petal down and layed it on Ichigo's chest, the pink looking soft against the purple of his shirt, he opened one eye and looked at the petal, "Isn' itn't lovely? It's fragil too, but it's held to a high standered," Ichigo opened th other eye and looked up at the girl, her yellow dress was not as bright under the shade of the tree, he looked at her with a questioning look on his face, "People expect these petals to be perfect, to be beautiful, to rain down on them every spring, and for the ones that stay in a girl's hair, or to never wilt, all flowers are held to a high standered, to always be elegant, always be beautiful, always be cool and soft, but not to break, and wen a flower starts to wilt and loses all beauty, the flower is for gotten, and slowly dies, isn't that sad?" Ichigo no's by now that everything Rukia says or does has a metaphoric meaning, so do her sad little pictures, he looked up at her, her eyes were sad and swimming in tears, wanting to rain down her cheeks, and yet her voice held only sadness, only lonliess, no tears, but they were soon to come, "It is sad, but I think that a flower is a flower, and all flowers, are eautiful, and elegant, and dipect the finer things in life, and I think, that flower should be planted, bloom for a very long time, and then wilt away, because that's wat flowers were meant to do, and there's nothing wrong with that," "But wat if that flower is picked, anhd showed, and put in a vase adorned with jewels? Wat if that flower is taken from the ground and put in a vase, would it wilt sooner?" "Alot sooner! That's why I try not to pick flowers, and if I do it's for a purpose," They were both silent for a moment, "Rukia, tell me," "Tell you wat?" "You no wat, tell me wat's bothering you," "Nothing's bothering me," "Don't give me that, I may not no wat's bothering you, but I do no that something is, they say that the eyes are the gateways to the heart, you may be an actres, but you can't make that disapear, I no wen your upset," Rukia was silent, he raised his head up off of her lap, sat on his nees, and pushed her head to meet his lap, and stroked her hair, she simply stared into a deep nothingness, stared at something that only she could see, "You can't ignore it forever, weather you tell me or not I'l find out, I'd like to hear it frm you, but I wil find out, I have ways of finding out," "Is this one of them?" "s wat one of them?" "This, nagging," "Actually yes, but I didn'y realize that I was nagging you yet," Rukia smiled, but it was a deep, sad smile, full of tears, full of lonliness, "If we are told to hope, and if we are told not to believe in anything we cannot see, and if hope is something that we cannot see, then isn't something wrong?" "Yeah, something's wrong, I just wish I new wat it was," Rukia closed her eyes to keep the tears at bay, "Ichigo? Wat do you think of me?" "Alot," "Brother, Brother cares for me you no?" "If you consider letting your sister get nearly burned alive by a giant range bird careing then yes," "Don't criticize Brother, it's complicated, he's doing the best he can," "I doubt that but go ahead," "Well, he does, and he promised my sister, before she dies, that he would protect me," "He isn't doing a very good job, condiering that you come to me with tears more than you go to him, and that my swod does most of the protecting," "Brother has no time for petty issues, but, you understand, that he dosen't like you?" "The feeling's mutual," "But if it were not for Brother, things would not be the way they are, I probbably would never have met you that night, as much as Brother hates to realize that, if we change one detail, no matter how small, in history, nothing will be the same, and many more tears will be shed, even if it was for the better," Ichigo thought for a moment, "Before you say anything else, let me just tell you, it was pretty lonely, that small amount of time that we were apart," "It felt like forever, didn' it?" "Tch, it was only, wat? One two, weeks?" "But I still wish that I had spent that time with you, that you had been at my bedside, instead of thin air," "I no, I wish that too, I never would've left, you no that don't you?" "I do," "Remember those two words at the wedding, will ya'?" Rukia looked up, "It was so lonely turning around and constantly noing that the closet was empty, I actually spent alot of time reading romantic stuff," "You can't stand romantic stuff," "I could then," Rukia lightly covered Ichigo's hand with her owne, "Rukia, I don't ever want to lose time again, I always want to be with you," Rukia closed her eyes to stop the tears, she new wat he was going to do, but tears of happiness were not wat she was holding back, she felt something cold slip onto her ring finger, "Rukia, I want you to marry me, I'm in love with you, please," Rukia glanced at the ring, "It's beautiful," she maneged, it was bronze and it looked like it had been around for centuries, but that's wat she liked about it, it was uniqe, it had a singal diamond in the middle, Ichigo leaned down and kissed Rukia's lips gently, "Will you smile now?" "Ichigo, Brother is forbidding me to see you, he said that I've changed since I met you," "And you have, and so have I, but fo the better," "Ichigo, Brother was very clear, he-" Ichigo silenced her with a kiss, tears streamed down Rukia's porcelin face, he rose up, Rukia still absorbed in the slowly fading kiss, "Rukia, please say 'yes', please?" "Ichigo, I want to but-" "But, do you have to do everything 'Brother' says? Do you want to give this up?" "...No," "Then say 'yes'," "Ok, yes," they kissed again under the Cherry Blossum Tree THE END
