"Hey Rukia, wake up, come on, wake up, don't," tears started filling his eyes, "don't die on me," he wispered, his hand dug into the land beneath him, he used his other hand to shake her limp body gently, he didn't care that tears rained down his face, he shook her more, nothing, he felt his heart beat faster, but it wasn't from the many injuries that the war had given him, "Don't tell me," he wispered, "Don't tell me I did all that for nothing! All the fighting, and blood, and pain wasn't for nothing Rukia! WAKE UP! Please wake up! Don't leave! Don't leave me again! Don't abandon me here!" He screamed, shakeing her vigerously, he finally turned her body over and held his breath, her amythist eyes were closed, blood and dirt stained her porcelin face, her entire body was absolutely masicured, his tears streamed more viciously than they ever had, stareing at the carnage of her body, "NO!!!!!!!!" he yelled, cradeling her in his arms, he stared at her face again, her lips were no longer pink, but a sickly red, from the blood staining them, he bent his head and kissed her bloody lips softly, tasteing her blood in his mouth, he leaned up and then it happened, he felt that somehow, an angel must be keeping his heart safe, because as soon as he pulled away, she inhaled sharply and was breathing again, he didn't want to hide the smile that overcame his features, "Rukia!" He yelled, sqeezing her tiny body in his strong arms, "...Ichi...squishing...me! ....Can't....breathe!" she moaned, he quickly released her and watched as her eyes returned to their original size, her lips then curved into a smile, "Ichigo," she wispered, reaching her tremebeling hand up to his face and wipeing one of his tears onto her finger, "why are you crying?" a playfull tone danced in her weak voice, "Shut up! Ya' no...red really isn't your couler, you should fix that," "Um," a sudden look of worry came over her face, "why is my blood on your lips?" "Wat?!" He was blushing viciously, "That's MY blood Idiot," "Oh, so then... YOU wear Srawberry Glamour Lip Gloss #5 too?" "....I hate lipgloss," her grin widened, "So then...did you give me CPR or something?" well, he COULD lie and say "yes" but this incedent had him worried, it was like a sighn, a sighn saying he needed to tell her now, "No, ....I kissed you," her eyes grew wide, "Y- you, k-k-kissed me?!" "Well, um, yeah, I did," Rukia grinned, "You idiot," and then her lips were pressing against his, he didn't reject them, even the sour taste of blood was sweet in this moment, finally takeing a moment to breathe, Ichigo said, "Ya' no, now is wen I should say something really cheesy, like... you are my ray of light of something," "And?" "You are my ray of light," Rukia giggled, "How did I no that was comeing?" "I dunno, ...Rukia?" "Yeah?" "I love you," the information struck her with surprise, a moment passed and he said, "Ya' no, ....first your hesitation was cute, now it's starting to scare me," she grinned, "You idiot! Ofcourse I love you!" she hugged him, he didn't mind the pain, it felt like fairy dust comparred to the thought of loseing her, that mere thought, cut ilke a sword
