My World Upside Down

Ichigo smirked, who would've thought that the great Rukia Kuchiki would crush under his gaze? "You," he began, watching her intently, even though she remained still and quiet, sitting on his bed, "You really underestimate me alot don't you?" he asked her, that same, cocky, flirty face remained stained in her features, a smirk curved her lips and her eyes had some sort of hidden message, the kind you see in modeling and music videos, but he was never so stupid as to fall for her silly little act, "Ofcourse I underestimate you, you're stupid and reckless and irresponsible," Ichigo only grinned more, "I'm starting to feel insulted here Rukia, how come?" "Hmph, do you think I can see that one remaining brain cell of your's?" now normally this would be an insult, normally this would provoke yelling and screaming and ultimately Ichigo being injured, but her tone was so playfull and silky smoothe that it didn't take him more than a milli-second to remember that they were just teasing, "Well, if you can't guess my thoughts, then there's no reason to kiss you," he smirked, their faces only a hair away from eachother, "Your lines are the worest, but you really do make me-" her thoughts stopped, her playfull face filled with terror and her soft, honey-sweet voice shreiked into a shrill sound of horror, at first Ichigo was puzzled, but then he felt it, the sharp blade of her brother's sword jammed through him, in the distance of his conciouseness he heard Rukia's frantic voice pleading for him, "Ichigo! Help me! PLEASE! Help me Ichigo! Don't let them take me! They'll hurt me! Please help me Ichigo! ICHIGO!!!!!!"
Ichigo awoke from the nightmare, eyes wide, breatheing heavy, it was pretty early in the morning and Ichigo was sure that that had been nothing more than a dream, a nightmare, but in the back of his mind that little thread of worry started to wrap it's way around the rest of him, giveing into that small pull Ichigo got up and approached the closet, he hoped that she was still there, and more than anything that she was still sleeping, the last thing he wanted was to wake the sleeping shrew.... he slid the door open queitly, but something was odd, instead of being met with her sleeping face he was met with a blanket covering something up, curiouse, he slid the door open to the other end and sure enough there rested her peacefull face, her hair was messy and very eskew (she looked like she had been hit with a bolt of static electricity) her amythist eyes remained closed, her pink lips slightly parted, and her small fists curled up next to her face, he had watched her sleep before (and to this day she wasn't aware that he often spied on her in her sleep, and Ichigo wanted to keep it that way) she was normally a very neat sleeper, not messy like his sisters were, she would normally fall asleep in a certain position and stay that way untill she woke up, so seeing her like this was amuseing to say the very least, suddenly her eyes started to flutter open and realizing that he had been caught, he dashed back to his bed and pretended to sleep
"Why did you sleep upside down last night?" it was an hour after the incedent and the question had been nagging at him severly, "And why would you think that I did?" Rukia shot back, smirking victoreously, "I woke up and saw you climbing out the opposite end of the closet," he stated non-chalantly, he had maneged to weasel his way out of it this time, Rukia gave in, he had a reasonable answer, though she would never admit it, "I had a headache last night," she stated simply, leaning against the wall of the closet, "And? Did you take some asprin and fall asleep backwards or somethin'?" she glared at him slightly, "No, I didn't take any medicine," "You should've," "I'll get to the point if you'll shut up!" she shouted, Ichigo shrugged, pretending to lock his mouth shut and throw away the imaginary key, "Everytime I get a headache I sleep at the opposite end of the bed," "Why?" Rukia rolled her eyes, she thought he had shut up, "Because as a little kid we didn't have medicine that was accesable to us, so I had to sleep at the opposite end of the bed to make it stop, well, I had thought that that was a good ideah, so imagine my horror the day I decided to hang upside down from a tree because I had a headache," Ichigo cringed, "Ouch," he mumbeled, "Mm-hm, Renji had to take care of me for two days! I was so out of it that I could barely move!" she was laughing, she was remembering extremem pain and here she was laughing about it! "Renji huh?" Rukia didn't notice the slight hostility in his voice, "Mm-hm, he was so tired that he said 'If you ever do that again I'll kill you'! Funny story right?" "Yeah, REAL funny, espically considering that he almost came through with that," he sad in a sarcastic tone, "Ichigo, why can't you let go of that already? He's your best freind, almost your brother," "Well gee, I hope HE dosen't treat ME the way YOUR brother treats YOU!" Rukia was now standing, Ichigo was still in his desk chair, "Ichigo stop that!" she demanded, obviously this was no longer a playfull discussion, but now a true argument filled with anger and fear and everything else that could crawl under your skin, "I'll never forget the things they did to you, even if-" "I never asked you to FORGET! I'm asking you to FORGIVE!" She yelled, Ichigo stood up, looking down at her with fire in his coffee eyes, "NO," he said simply, but that two letter word seemed to speak a million more, "Why can't you just forgive them?! They were only following orders!" "Yeah ok! Let's ALL'follow orders' and kill eachother!" "Ichigo stop! You don't get it! It isn't like they WANTED to do it!" "Well there's this little thing called 'haveing a mind of your own', I no YOU'VE heard of it! Well sometimes, then other times you're just robotic as the rest of them!" "Robotic?!" "Yeah! It's like one minute you're all for free thinking and then they brainwash you into some obediant slave! And by the way, I broke the rules to save you! If they really cared they would've helped! I understand that Renji redeemed himself but-!" "But no one asked you to save me! I begged you NOT to save me! That's why you're so stubborn! You don't GET IT!" she shouted, her eyes were starting to tear up, "You could NEVER understand," her voice wasn't above a wisper, "YOU never lived on the streets, YOU were never suddenly a noble's family, YOU never went from rat to princess in a day flat! And unless you've DONE those things then you'll NEVER understand!" she was now sitting on the edge of the bed, simaler to the way she was in the dream, "You're right," he admitted, sitting next to her, "I've never been in that situation and I'll never understand how hard it is to go through that, but I DO understand something that you clearly have missed somehow," "Oh?" "Yep, it's why you deserve to live," her head shot up, "Don't tell me that you weren't inching around, waiting to spring that 'I deserve to die' thing on me," Rukia looked back down, "Why am I here in the first place? I'm nothing but a heartless murdering, -" "Shut up, don't talk like that ok?! It's disturbing! Besides, if you were actually heartless then I wouldn't have saved you, if you were anything less than pureity and love then I wouldn't have saved you, get it? You're an exampe of how people SHOULD be, minus the self-hate, Rukia, you're here for ME, to help ME, and I'm here for YOU, get that?" Rukia smirked slightly, "You really no how to push my buttons, and you really need to stop lieing to yourself AND to me, it isn't a good habbit, truley, we both no that there's no reason for me to-" her thoughts were cut off by the light impact of his lips on her's, she was laying there, eyes closed, letting him kiss her, and she couldn't even wounder why because she couldn't think straight, after a moment the sweet kiss stopped and she was slowly snapped into reality, "Do you still not believe me? Do you still think that I'm lieing about you or about how much I love you?" she couldn't speak, she could barely think, but she could see that Ichigo was becomeing quickly annoyed, "Answer me!" he demanded, she shook her head slowly, still in a slight state of shock, Ichigo rolled his eyes, grasping her rists lightly, he brought one to rest over her chest, "Do you feel that?" he wispered, she nodded quickly, "Do you understand, that that little thumpedy thump going on in your chest right now, that's why I saved you?" she nodded slowly, "You no, I'm still waiting on you," he smirked, and that's wen it hit her that at the moment, this was a game of cat and mouse, this once emotional fight was nothing more than a game right now, and she wasn't going to loose, "So wat if I love you back?" "So alot of things," and that ended it right there, with both their worlds hanging upside down

Snake Eyes

NOTE: Notthe best I no, it was about 3 in the morning wen I wrote it

"I hate snakes!" Rukia exclaimed slamming the door, causing Ichigo to put down his manga, "I was just getting to the good part," he said, she looked at the cover, "'Bleach'? Sounds filthy to me!" she said sitting in his desk chair, "I hate snakes," she repeated, "I no I'm going to regret asking this but, wat brought that up?" "Well, I was at the pet store with Yuzu-" "Please tell me you weren't there an hour ago," "No, why?" "You don't wanna no," "Why?" "Rukia, you don't wanna no, it'll give you nightmares, and or make you cry, if you never believe me about anything else, believe me now wen I say that you don't want to no," Rukia understood that it probbably involved death and he was right, she didn't want to no! "Anyway, well we were picking out her bunny," that's right, Yuzu was getting a bunny, and it was Rukia's luck that she and Ichigo were leaving to live in Soul Soceity in three days, that was Ichigo's luck as well, somehow he felt very lucky, "and as we were waiting to get the bunny food..."
' "Rukia! Let's look at the animals wile we wait!" "Ok!" "Oh puppies! And kittens too!" they looked at all the fuzzy creatures, along with the birds, and fish, they even had frogs, and a Chinchella, then it happened, "Rukia! You may not want to go in there!" "Why not?" "That's were thay keep the reptiles," "Oh? I like reptiles actually, I love all animals," "But-" but Rukia went anyway, she was fine looking at the turtles, and lizards, the little geckos were pretty cute, but then she saw it, the death symbol it's self, in big red letters, she read the words, "Snake Central" and she- albeit about the dumbest thing she ever did- looked down to see a few snake cages, along with one, very large one that was NOT kept behind glass, but in a crate with net walls, she backed up, curtain striking her back, and then, she just couldn't help it, she let out the most ear peircing, shrill, loud scream that anyone had ever heard! The owner came in to see wat had happened, bunny food in hand, "I see you met Big Mamaba," he said, right now Rukia was to scared to move, Yuzu pulled on her arm and dragged her out, trying to calm the older woman by letting her carry the bunny for a wile, "I thought you said you loved ALL animals," "I do, snakes are the ONLY exception!" she shreiked'
"Why are snakes the only exception?" "I've never cared for snakes, but I have been bitten by two snakes!" "Really?!" "Yes, ounce in Soul Society, by an aggitated harmless one, and ounce wen I was alive, and in case your woundering, yes it killed me!" Ichigo cringed, "Besides, Gin Ichimaru is the closest thing to a snake that I can think of!" "That's true," Ichigo agreed about the squinty eyed demon, later that night.... "AHHHHH!" Rukia rose up screaming, the closet door slammed open, "Rukia?! Are you ok?!" she glanced at him with wide eyes, "Yeah, I, I just had a nightmare," she breathed heavily, 'She looks pretty shooken up,' he concluded, "Wat was it about?" "It was stupid, Gin being a real snake and killing me, enjoying the taste of my blood," she rubbed her eyes, she was so tired, atleast she didn't have to get up the next morning, suddenly she felt something, Ichigo picked her up and put her on his bed, "Ichigo?! Wat are you-" "Just shut up and go to sleep, my sisters have nightmares all the time, don't worry about it," she nodded slightly and got in, sleep dripping too far into her mind for her to object, he pulled her close to him, lettting her head rest on his chest, "Thank you," she said, eyes closed, "Mm-hm," they both fell asleep that way, Rukia felt certain that no Gin Snakes would get her now,
She walked through the grass in the yard, talking to Ichigo about nothing that was really audiable, it was strange, she was watching herself walk, she also saw a snake heading towards her, "No! Stop! Run!" she tried to speak, but her voice wouldn't sound, she watched as the snake bit her heal, Rukia passed out from pain, Ichigo was shaking her, yelling at her to wake up even though she couldn't hear him, she watched him cry over her dead body, "No!'" she tried shouting again, but it didn't work, again, "Rukia! Rukia! Wake up! Wake up Rukia!" she heard, blackness clouded her mind and she opened her eyes, "Ichigo?" "You were mummbling in your sleep again," "Oh, sorry," it was the night after she had slept in Ichigo's bed, "You want in?" he asked, pointing at his bed, she got out of the closet, and stumbled towards the bed, "Another nightmare?" she nodded, "I'm just scared I think," she wispered, he kissed her hair, she looked at him stunned, "There's no reason to be afraid, because I'll protect you," she leaned up and kissed his lips, "Why will you always protect me?" "Because I love you," she kissed him again and then curled up drifting to sleep, he shook her lightly, "You forgot something," he said, "Oh yeah, I love you too," "That's convincing," he mummbled to himself, but went to sleep with a smile on his face

The First Frost

'"Ichigo! Ichigo! Help! Help me! Please! Ichigo!!! Please, help me, Ichigo," Rukia's voice rang loudly, before quiteing down, she stopped struggling against the black ribbions that pulled her away, "Rukia! Rukia! RUKIA!" Ichigo yelled after the fading girl, for he was bound by chains, and unable to reach her, the blackness quickly pulled Rukia away, but not before Ichigo saw a singal tear run down her gentle cheek, and as she became a memory, that singal tear dropped to the ground, *splash,* it went, it was a soundless thing, and yet to him, it sounded like a building crashing down around him, 'I couldn't save her, I couldn't stop that tear, I couldn't, I couldn't, and she gave up, she just, let it happen, and there was nothing I could do!' Ichigo thought, tears begining to stream from his amber eyes, as the chains tightened around him, then let go completely, he fell to his nees, "Why, Rukia? Why did you give up? Why did you let them have you?" he choked, now beging to go into hystariea, "Why?! Why, RUKIA!?!!!"' Ichigo woke up, he could feel that his skin was cold, just feel it, "Was'the'matta?" Rukia yawned slowly pulling aside the closet door, "Nothing, go back to sleep," she shrugged and closed the door, "And please, don't cry anymore," Ichigo wispered, she didn't hear him, and he new that she wouldn't, but he said it anyway, wat a frightening dream it had been, he looked over to his window, it was pretty foggy, it was, after all, only 20 degrees outside, and in the closet... Rukia wasn't asleep, she was too deep in thought to sleep, thinking about the day, Ichigo had taken her skateing, she had never been skating before, or rather, she had never been Roller Skating before, needless to say she wasn't a natural at it, but wen she saw the frozen pound, 'Ichigo? Let's skate on the pound,' 'You wanna go ice skating? Ok, but it's alot harder than this,' but not for Rukia it wasn't, she actually was pretty good at ice skating, it had been a pretty good day, no hollows even, so then, why would Ichigo have a nightmare? But this, not even Ichigo himself could answer,
The next day, Ichigo woke up to music playing, he opened his eyes and looked over at Rukia, who was fully clothed and currently hanging a small radio upside down, and shaking it, "Wat're ya' doin'?" he asked, just waiting for the amusing explination that was sure to come, "This thing plays music," she stated, "Yes, I no," "How?" "Don't ask, it's called a 'radio' why did you turn it on if you didn't no wat it did?" "Because, I wanted to see wat it did," "How did you no it wouldn't electricute you, or a little door wouldn't open and a little viciouse creature pops out?" "I didn't, I assumed it," "Never assume anything, you can guess, but never assume," "Why?" "Bad luck," she nodded, "Wat's the song playing now?" "Hana Kagari," "Flower Bonfire," "You speak Jappenesse?" "Kind of," "Wat's Soul Reaper in Jappenesse?" "Shinigami," "Wat about, Idiot," "Baka," "And enemy?" "Teki," "Wat about-" "I'm not a dictionary! Wen you actually need to no wat something means, then you ask me, Baka!" "Nice goin'," "I'm aware," Ichigo rolled his eyes, Rukia walked over to the window, Ichigo took this oppertunity to change, she looked out and saw Orahime walking down the street, Rukia opened the window, "Hey!" she said, Orihime looked up, "Hey Rukia!" Orihime also spoke Jappenese, "Doshda ue?" "Doshde orera houjin?" "Watashiwa tikimase ketsubou Baka tame hia," " Sokene, doshdano?" "Eo, watashiwa ketsubou Baka tame hai senpou baka," "Oh, adyu," "Adyu," Rukia closed the window after waving goodbye to Orihime, (by the way, the conversation was: "Wat's up?" "Why are we speaking Japanesse?" "I don't want the idiot to hear us," "Is that so, Wat's wrong?" "Oh, it's ok! I want the idiot to think he's crazy," "Oh, well then, goodbye," "Goodbye,") "Why did you do that?" Ichigo asked her, "I want you to learn Jappanesse," "Watever," Rukia walked over to him, "You no something?" "Wat?" "If it came down to it, you'd be stuburn to the end, wouldn't you?" "Well yeah, but were did that come from?" Rukia grabbed Ichigo and embraced him tightly, "Nowere, just asking," "Ok," he put his arms around her, "Wat's the matter?" he asked, "Nothing, I just felt like this," "Ok," he stroked her hair, lightly pushing her head a little more into him, Rukia closed her eyes, "You're acting kinda weird today, you sure everythings alright?" "Yeah, I'm sure,"
'The next day, Rukia transformed into a Soul Reaper and jumped out of Ichigo's window, destroying the hollow with the flick of her rist, "Rukia, it's all ready over?" Ichigo asked, "Yeah, pretty easy," "I see, so then there was no need for me to transform and follow you, is that right?" "That's right," Rukia's eyes got wide, "Ichigo! Watch out," Rukia jumped in front of him, taking a direct hit from the hollow, but still maneging to get rid of the beast, she fell slowly, into Ichigo's arms, it seemed that the fall lasted a centurary, for Ichigo, "Rukia? Rukia? Are you ok? Rukia?" he was begining to sob now, Rukia's violet eyes fluttered open slowly, she smiled, "You're alive, I'm so happy," she stroked his chest softly, "Ichigo, thank you for everything," "No, don't do this! Don't give into this!" "Ichigo, goodbye," she closed her eyes as they began to deaden, and her soft hand slipped from his chest, "Rukia? Why can't I ever protect you? Why? Why am I not aloud to protect you? Rukia? Why?" this time he didn't yell her name, but only wispered it to himself, "Rukia," the mere sound of her name reflected her beauty, and reflected her true self, but now, no one would say that name, the sylabals rang in his head for the last time, as he hung his head, and flooded the streets with tears,' Ichigo woke up sartled, 'How many times am I going to have such awful nightmares?' the sun was already up, and so was Rukia, "I'm the first up again I see," she said getting out of the closet, "Rukia," "Yeah?" "Nothing, I just wanted to say it," "And you said I was acting weird, is something wrong?" "No," Rukia crossed over to him, with a "Wat is with you?" kind of look on her face, suddenly her Soul Phone rang, she rolled her eyes and transformed into a Soul Reaper, she jumped out the window to tail the hollow and Ichigo went after her, wen they came across the creature Rukia said, "I've got this one," Ichigo jumped up slayed the creature in one swing, wen he landed Rukia jumped up and slapped him on the back of the head, "Ow," "You Bonehead! I said I had that one!" "I was trying to protect you!" "From wat?! I was in no danger!" "Everytime we come across one of these things there's always danger!" "I no that! It's our job, Idiot!" "I no that! I just wanted to protect you!" Rukia's eyes softened, she stepped a little closer to him, she stood up on her tip-toes so that she could reach him, she put her hand to his head and then to her owne, "Your head's hot, do you have a fever?" "No," Rukia touched his head again, Ichigo lightly grabbed her rist, and slowly pulled it down, he jerked on it lightly, pulling her into an embrace, "Ichigo, wat's the matter? Is something wrong?" "Everything is fine, I just wanted to prove to myself that I could protect you," "Ichigo, you've protected me loads of times, wat are you talking about?" Ichigo picked her up and jumped into his window, he set Rukia down on the bed, and sat next to her, "Ichigo," "I no I've been acting strange, but, I've felt like I couldn't protect you lately," "Why is that?" "I guess, because the last two nights, I've been having nightmares," "About me dieing?" "Yes, I don't really understand why I've been having these dreams, but, I have," Rukia's Soul Phone rang again, "I won't answer it, let someone else take care of it," "No, go ahead," Rukia lifted the phone out of her pocket and read the signal, "It's right outside," she stated, leaping out of the window, Ichigo looked down for a moment, before rushing after her, she leaped up to strike at the hollow, but it slammed her against the wall, "Rukia!" she got up, blood trickling down the side of her face, she ran at the beast and took off one of it's arms, it roared in pain as she jumped up and struck down the hollow, she resheathed her sword, "Are you ok?" Ichigo asked as she walked over to him, the pair jumped up in the window, and returned to their positions on the bed, "You were saying?" "I was saying, that I need to fix that wound," Rukia rolled her eyes as he worked at the cut on her forehead, "Honestly, wat were you saying," "I was saying that, I must be in love with you, because I've never felt this way about anyone else, I've never wanted to protect anyone else as much as I want to protect you, so, wat do you say? Do I sound like an idiot?" "This should answer your question," she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips, he pulled her closer, and the kiss deepened, and became more passionate, wen they broke apart for air, they still remained close enough for their heads to touch, "So do you love me?" "Yes, you little fool, I love you," those words rang sweetly as they graced her lips, "I'll make a wish on this cherry blossum bonfire, that you'll tell me you won't leave me alone, that this warmth in my hand, is not a dream," Rukia said softly, they were some of the lyrics to "Hana Kaggari" Ichigo gripped her hand, "I won't leave you alone," he said, "and this is defenitly not a dream," Rukia leaned her head on his shoulder and gazed towards the window, "Look at that," she said, "the first frost,"

Denial

'Skid, went her wicker sandals across the pavement, as she turned her body ever so slightly to regain proper composer, jerk, scrape, went her sword as she realeased it from it's sheath, "Why?" she asked, clang, cling, clang, went the blade inside her sword, the only thing keeping the timid metal in tact being the hilt, "Why? Lil' Shiro?" she asked, her hands still trembeling with rage, sorrow and confusion, the tears rolling down her face began to stream, "WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "Ah, oh," Momo awoke from the nightmarish memory, her hands trembeling, her eyes bloodshot from the lack of sleep, and her breath unregulated, she allowed herself to fall back on tje plush of the bed, 'How long as this been going on?' she asked herself, 'Just how long has it been since I've slept without awakening from this nightmare? How long?" she woundered, it was n use trieing to sleep anymore, she was wide awake, she sighed loudly, 'I miss Toshiro! Wounder wen he's coming back?' she self questioned, 'I need him! No! Wat am I saying?! If I told him about these nightmares, he'd say something like, "Still? It's been months!" or "For the last time, I'm not dead, it wasn't your fault, and Aizan is NOT who you thought he was! so go back to sleep!" Oh well, I guess I don't really need him,' "Now, who is it you don't need?" asked the young captin standing in the doorway, as if he read her mind, "Lil' Shiro! I, I-" "You do need me Momo, just like I need you,"
