NOTE: It worked!

She should've nowen, how could she not have nowen that not all men were harmless? That not all people were good? How had she gotten into this situation? How had she been so foolish? She still didn't no, but she had been, she had been that foolish, and now there was no way out, her face stung, she begged, silently begged, for him to come, it isn't that she wanted him to see her this way, bloody, beaten, weak, but she didn't want to deal with the conseqences even more, and she new she couldn't get out of this alone, it wasn't possible, she was just too small, and that wasn't her fault, atleast, she didn't think it was, but that didn't matter, wat mattered, was that she needed him, needed him now, "Ichigo," she wispered, "Ichigo huh? Is that your boyfreind?" one of the men asked, hitting her again, "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not, it's none of your buisness!" she heard, it was his voice, she new it well, but was it in her head? After all, how could he have found her out here? It made no sense, she didn't bother to look up, to move, to do anything, because she was afraid, stupid as it was, she was afraid, afraid that if she did, the pain would return, she was so afraid, "Rukia," she heard, she didn't look up at his voice, "Rukia it's ok," he wispered again, she felt him sheild her from the rain, "Rukia," she felt him get closer, and felt herself flinch, she didn't mean to, it was just a reflex, "I'm sorry," she wispered, "It's ok," he said, touching her shoulder, her muscels relaxed under his fingers, she felt him pick her up, "I'm sorry," she repeated, "Why are YOU sorry?" he asked, she glanced down at the groaning men on the ground, she smiled a bit, 'Good! You try hurting me? Feel the wrath of my Ichigo!' she thought, semi-ignoring the fact that she named him HER Ichigo, "Wen you said that women shouldn't walk alone you were right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I made you come," she wispered, her eyes felt heavy, she wanted to sleep, "Stop appoligizing, it isn't your fault," "I'm sorry that I almost let them-" "Stop, stop appoligizing, it isn't your fault, ya' no Rukia, if I had a penny for every useless appoligy you've sputtered off I'd be so rich I'd be swimming in money," Rukia smiled slightly, "Thank you, Im sorry, I no you hate the rain, and because of me you're out in it," "Rukia, stop appoligizing and go to sleep already,"
"Rukia? Can you wake up for a second?" he shook her awake, very gently, she opened her eyes, "Oh, sorry, I'll get off your bed and-" "No, that's ok, you sleep here tonight, I just wanted to make sure you were ok, are you ok?" "Mm-hm," "Did they hurt you anywere?" "No, I'm ok," she lied, she winced a little, the pain in her face striking like a hard zap of truth, "Rukia, I won't hurt you, you don't have to lie," "I'm not, *wince* I'm not lieing," "Rukia, it's ok, I don't think you're weak or anything, now, were does it hurt?" "My face, they hit me alot, and, I think they stabbed me in the arm, I'm not really sure, I don't remember much," "Ok,"
He was really very soft, very gentle and sweet wen he wanted to be, "I'll be downstairs if you need me," he said, opening the door, allowing a drop of light to shade the room, "Ichigo," wat was she going to say? She had reacted merly on instinct, "Yeah?" "Stay here, please, stay with me," why she was starting to spout off mushy junk, she had no ideah, but she was, "Are you sure?" "Yes, very, very sure, please stay with me, please don't leave," he smiled slightly, "Well, I can't really sleep on the floor," she moved closer to the edge of the bed, "I didn't expect you to," she said, he smiled, "Ichigo, thank you," "Sometimes you talk too much Rukia, and so wen you run out of things to say, you either appoligize, yell, thank, or yell," "You said yell twice," "So? You usually yell," "Ichigo, I no I'm repeditive, so here's something I've never said to you before, I love you," "I'll never get tired of hearing that, so say it all you want, I love you," Rukia smiled, "Ichigo, come here," he tilted his head down, she brushed her lips against his, "I won't kiss you, you kiss me," he smiled, kissing her softly, a protective, healing kiss, she smiled as well, and kissed back,
