Feeling the warmth of the sun wash over her, Rukias violet eyes fluttered open. As she took in her familiar surroundings, she noticed the ache in her back. She had slept propped up against the side of Ichigos bed the night before, and now she was deeply regretting it. As she leaned forward to push herself off of the floor, she caught sight of her hands. They were covered in Ichigos dried blood.
"Idiot." The memories of last night came rushing back quickly. Ichigo had once again jumped into the path of a hollows attack that had been meant for her. She turned her head at the sound of his groans, her eyes assesing the damage that had been done.
"I'm not the idiot." One of his eyes popped open. "You were the one who wasn't paying attention." His voice was deep, cracking a bit.
"You're right. I was too busy yelling at you for being reckless." She tried supressing her anger, but Ichigo never made that easy for her. He knew all the right buttons to press, and he would press them every chance he got.
"You don't need to worry about me so much. I can handle myself in a fight. Besides, that hollow was weak as shit."
"Yeah, well he managed to get a peice of you." She slid the blanket off of his shoulder, her tiny fingers carefully removing the bandage. She overlooked her handywork with a smile. "You are lucky you have me." Shock wasn't exactly a strong enough word to describe what she felt about his next action. His much larger hand slid overtop of her own, and he squeezed it slightly.
"Yeah .. I guess so." A deep red blush crept over her cheeks, and she quickly pulled her hand away.
"Just .. be more careful next time. You might not get so lucky .." She stood up, once again looking over his dried blood currently on her fingers. "You don't always have to protect me. I can handle myself." Now, his eyes were both open and on her. When he sat up he felt a slight discomfort, but nothing he would really consider pain.
"If I hadn't taken that attack for you, who knows if you would even be alive right now!" Her hands slid to her hips, her eyes narrowing.
"Oh, don't exaggerate! I would probably have been better off than you are right now!" Her hands were now clenched at her side in tight fists. "I'm tired of you always treating me like I'm weak or something! I've been a shinigami since before you were even a twinkle in your fathers eye!" Her narrowed eyes met with the boys and they stayed like that for a few minutes having the most intense staring contest of either of their lives. Ichigos were the first eyes to fall away, and he let out a frustrated sigh.
"Whatever." Her mouth fell open, and she didn't know what to think. Was he really admitting defeat so early in an argument? Her eyes softened slightly, and she realized what she had implied. Although he gave his all to saving and protecting the people he loved, he often needed help, or ended up teetering on the edge of death. No matter how many times he succeded in protection one of his friends, he always focused on the failures.
"I'm sorry." He looked her way, a bit surprised with her apology. Her hands were folded infront of her, her eyes now staring at the floor.
"For?"
"No matter how idiotic it was for you to jump infront of that hollow, you did it because you didn't want to see me hurt." A stange silence fell between them. Rukias eyes wondered his room, while Ichigos remained on the small shinigami. Now it was his turn to feel bad. He noticed the dried blood on her hands, and thought of how she must have used alot of her energy healing him, then slept all night beside his bed. "I don't mean to be so bossy, but you are alive. You've got a life down here and people who need you. Don't be so reckless, especially when it comes to me. I don't have people all around who need me. I don't have two younger sisters .. or a chance at a great future."
"But I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you." Their eyes met and his cheeks were red once again. "Especially if I could have done something to prevent it." Her eyes slid closed and her lips curved up into a small smile. His words brought a warmth to her heart that she hadn't felt in a very long time. So lost in thought, she was completely caught off guard when he slid from his bed and wrapped his arms around her in a tight, almost needy hug. Her own snaked around his waist, and she buried in head into his warm, bare chest. With all the excitement from the hollow, she had almost completely forgotten about the night before. She had almost forgotten about their kiss.
Now she couldn't help but think of how nice his lips felt against hers. How unexperienced he seemed, but at the same time how it was the most passionate kiss she'd ever experienced in her long life. Her heart was pounding now, wanting to feel that same feeling again, but knowing how wrong it was. Had they not been disturbed by the hollow, who knows how far it would have gone ..
"Ichigo .." She wanted to let go. She wanted to release all of the feelings she had been kept bottled up and go crazy on him, but she couldn't. "I've got to take a shower. I'm completely covered in your blood." As hard as it was to do, she pulled herself from his embrace, holding out her arms to show him.
"All that from this little scrape?" She rolled her eyes, forcing herself toward his bedroom door.
"It wasn't a little scrape last night." His finger tips grazed over the bandage, and he watched her leave.
"Rukia." She looked his way, her hand wrapped tightly around the door knob. "Thanks." Relief washed over her, and she couldn't help but smile once again.
"No problem." She shut the door behind her, a satisfied smile still gracing her lips.
Apple Bottom Jeans .. Boots with the furr. Yeah, don't ask what that's about and don't ask where I've been. No, but seriously, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update! Don't hate me cause I love all of you! The holidays were hectic, EVERYONE wants to see my daughter and instead of making it easy on me and coming to her, I have to pack up and go to them! Jerks! Anywho, I hope you guys are happy with this chapter, and I promise to have the next one out soon. It will be much faster and much better (Fluff!).
