Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. My daughters getting older, on the verge of crawling, teething, talking. It's getting harder to get anytime to write or get on the comp, so bare with me!
Rukia eyed her reflection in the mirror. Messy was not a strong enough word to describe her apperance. Her hair was sticking out in every direction, her eyes red and puffy from pure exhaustion, and she had to look twice, but sure enough there were bags under her eyes. With a groan, she lifted her hand to poke at the dark circles and was reminded of Ichigos dried blood on her hands. It brought back memories she wanted to forget, and she wasted no more time preparing for her shower. She turned the nobs and without waiting for the water to heat up shoved her hands into the steady flow of freezing cold water. She ignored the fact that her hands were quickly turning into ice cubes and washed away the dried blood, hoping that with it some of the guilt would go away. No such luck.
She waited until the water was hot before she undressed and climbed into the shower. The warm water helped calm her and a bit of the tension and stress that had been building for the last week went away. She closed her eyes and moved her face under the stream. Now that the whole hollow attack was over, she wondered if Ichigo would want to talk about what had happened between them. She wanted to die at the thought.
"How could I have let myself get so carried away .. I can't believe how stupid I am!" She pushed her fingers through her hair. "Okay, i'm just gonna slip out before he even gets up. I'll go for a walk or something. Just completely avoid him." She tried convincing herself it would work, but the denial wouldn't fool her rational mind. What was she supposed to do? Avoid him forever? They lived together, went to school together, worked together and had the same group of friends. There would be no escaping him.
She rushed through the shower which she had hoped would be more calming, and quickly dressed. She hoped she would have been able to get ready and get out the door before he noticed, but she knew she would have to be quick. She opened the bathroom door hoping to make a clean break for the twins bedroom. Yeah right. That would have been too easy. Who else but Ichigo would be standing on the other side of the door. Her cheeks were red imagining him outside the bathroom, listening to her ramble on to herself about him and how stupid she was.
"Ichigo!"
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know you were in there." She resisted the urge to smack him in the face for almost giving her heartattack and shook her head.
"No, it's okay .. don't worry about it." Without even looking at him she began her walk to the room she shared with the girls. She had just placed her hand on the doorknob when he said her name. He'd said it so soft she almost missed it. "Yeah?" She looked over her shoulder to him, but he hadn't turned to look at her.
"N-nevermind." He shook his head as she had before. "Nothing. Don't worry about it." And with that he walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Her body had tensed out and with a sigh she was able to relax. Although she wasn't thrilled to talk about what had happened, she wondered what he had wanted to say. Hell, maybe he was just as mixed up about the whole situation as she was.
She threw herself on her bed, eyes wondering the many posters and pictures Yuzu and Karin had collected over the years. She would give anything to take her mind off of what had happened, but knew it wouldn't be that easy. The only way to rid herself of this irritated feeling would be to sit down and talk with him. But it wasn't as simple as that. She couldn't bring herself to bring it up.
"Maybe neither of us will say anything and we can just forget it ever happened." She rolled her eyes at the idiot conclusions her mind came to sometimes. She knew there would be no way of forgetting that kiss. It was one of the most passionate she'd ever had in her life. And it was given to her by a seventeen year old boy! A seventeen year old with the body of a..
"Oh god! I need to stop this now!" She covered her face with her hands, trying to push the dirty thoughts from her mind.
"Homework. That's what I need. Algebra and Literature should be enough to get my mind off of this." She sat up quickly, her eyes scanning the room for her school bag. "Dammit, I never grabbed it out of Ichigos room!" She slid off of the bed and hurried towards Ichigos room. He couldn't be out of the shower already ..
She pushed his door open, definetly not expecting to find Ichigo finished up and getting dressed already. A pure white towel hung low on his waist, leaving his well defined upper body completely exposed to her wide eyes.
"Rukia!" His cheeks reddened as did hers and she turned her back towards him.
"Ichigo! I'm sorry. I didn't think you would be out of the shower yet .." Her face was burning with embarassment, and oh how she wished for a hollow to attack at that very moment. She probably should have left the room, but her legs wouldn't budge. She blamed it on the gigai and Urahara of course, but her train of thought was interrupted when Ichigo spoke.
"Rukia, what happened last night?" He wanted to have this conversation now!?!
"It was a mistake, and I never should have kissed you. It was extremely innappropriate of me. I'm sorry." She almost felt as if her heart would beat out of her chest. She didn't have to tell him the whole truth, did she?
"Yeah .. Whatever. It's alright. It's not like I tried to stop you or anything. It's not all your fault."
"No, it was my fault. I've been extremely irresponsible since I've been around you. I've been thinking, and I think it's about time for me to go back to the Soul Society. I've been getting in the way more than i've been helping anyway. You and everyone else will probably be better off without me around anyway." He said her name once again, but she ignored whatever question he was about to ask and rushed out of his bedroom.
Ichigo was left more confused than he'd ever been before, and Rukia felt like a complete idiot. The urge to get out of the house was stronger now than it had ever been, and she hurried for the front door.
