The Runaway

"You are going to die, so why not stay put nd live a few seconds longer?" Rukia said, tears and rain pelting her skin, Ichigo looking up at her like a sad puppy wasn't helping, then, out of nowere, her brother's sword slid down into his back, "ICHIGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rukia screamed at the top of her lungs, waking up from the nightmare, she was a little disorented *slam* "Rukia! Something wrong?!" Ichigo asked slamming open the door, "Ichigo!" she leaned over and grabbed his waist, he looked at her with a soft face aand began stroking her hair, "It's ok, I'm right here," he wispered, the next night was little diffrent, a diffrent nightmare with the same princapel, and it continued for five nights after that, but then, something changed, 'I can do it!' Rukia thought, 'Oh, he told me, that it would be better if I shoved these memories to the back of my mind, during the week between the Hogyoku discovery and Ichigo leaving, we talked on a more emotional bases than normal, oh I don't no! Maybe the blood loss was getting to us both, but during that week, I told him the reason that I thought my "exicution" was just, and that he should'va left me, ofcourse I recieved a long and loud lecture about "Are you crazy?!" but then I told him about how I felt resposable for Kian's death and for his injuries, and for his life now being twisted, and then he told me, "With those kinds of memories, it's best to put them in the back of your mind, in a place unreachable, unless you WANT to remember, otherwise, it's best not to forget, but not exactly to remember either," I had never heard Ichigo speaking in riddles untill that day, but why am I remembering now? It's to confusing, I'm best to remember why I ran away in the first place!' Rukia changed into her kimono, 'I don't want to wake up Ichigo, and my gikongi is in his desk draw,' she slid out of his closet and then out the window like normal, and then began walking to Urahara's shop, were she would return to Soul Society and have Ichigo's Soul Reaper licence revoked

Ichigo woke up, the breeze from the window was getting on his nerves, he went to shut it, but then noticed that the closet door was open and that Rukia was missing, he transformed and jumped out the window after her, but back with said girl... 'How much longer do I have to walk? This kimono is so tight that I can barely move, although, that is how they're designed, and I don't want to pull up the end in my sash because it's cold out here! So I'm stuck at a snail's pace!' and she continued that way for a little longer, untill a hollow showed up and tried to attack her, but then, a flash, and she was away from it, another flash, and the hollow was gone, she was clnching onto someone's clothes 'Wait, black cloth, speed, flash, Ichigo's Bankai is agility, oh no! Please don't tell me...' and sure enough, she looked up to see a not so happy face, but back in Ichigo's room...

"Alright! Now I'm REALLY ticked off Rukia! Wat're ya' doin' tryin' to give me a heart attack!? I was scared outta my witts! That's why I had to go all Bankai to save yer little life! Ya' got that?!" Ichigo had given so many loud lectures that Rukia had growen quite able to tune them out, "Mm-hm," "'Mm-hm'?! That's all!? Why'd ya' go do somethin' that dumb anyway!?" She didn't answer, "I'm surprised," she began, "usually wen someone get's you this angry you give them a nice punch in, prefreably, the face," "I don't hit women, that's all I got to say! 'Sept you're one lucky duck your female, got it?!" Rukia still wouldn't answer, this was the second time she had tried to runaway and the second time he caught her! Wat's with that anyway? "You gonna talk, or do I have to get Rinji in on this too? Hm?" Blackmail! Ichigo was way to good at blackmail! He was one thing, but Rinji had big mouth to say the least! He would no doubt tell all of Soul Society causing some make shift intervention on the thought that she was crazy and for that matter suicidal, wich, on that point was probably just gossip working it's magic anywway! It was a lose lose situation! "Oh! You are the less of two evils!" she said gritting her teeth, "Glad ya' see it my way," 'Oh great! Now HE'S probbably going to do the same thing!' but he didn't, Rukia explained every detail and he didn't act on any such emotion, after she finished he only hugged her and wispered in her ear, "I'm very sorry, It's good that we don't forget the ones we love, but we don't remember either," "Wat does that mean?" "Don't forget completely, but continue living happily" 'I think I liked it better as a riddle' "One more thing, if I told you I loved you, wat would you do?" "I'd tell you I loved you too, because, Ichigo, you live for the impposible," and after that night, Rukia no longer had any nightmares THE END
