“Well?” he asked with his face displaying his usual scowl.
She looked down at her feet, unable to say a word, her heart racing wildly in her tiny chest. She tugged at the hem of her yellow pajama that she borrowed from Yuzu.
“What have I gotten myself into?” she asked herself.
The young orange-haired boy was beginning to get impatient. He's also totally annoyed by having been woken up by her in the dead of the night.
“Speak up will you? Don't tell me you woke me up for nothing. Tell me what is it?” He asked again, irritation evident in his voice. He arched a brow and folded his arms across his chest.
Rukia looked up at him for the first time. His amber orbs met her violet ones in a questioning look. She turned away unable to stand the intensity of his stare. She then heard a low hissing sound escape from his lips.
“He's getting bummed, I guess..”
She cleared her throat and decided to speak up finally.
“Ichigo…I—I'm sorry to wake you up…I just couldn't sleep that's why I did that…but now you can go back to bed…”
“What the hell?! I know there's something you're not telling me. You've been acting pretty strange lately. And waking me up in the middle of the night just because you can't sleep is such a lame excuse!” He blurted out, unable to control his voice. He covered his mouth immediately upon realizing that its five past midnight and everyone in the Kurosaki household is fast asleep.
“Well, yeah…sorry about that…believe me it's nothing…I'm going back in the closet now. Good night Ichigo.” She said and turned towards the closet. She climbed in carefully and closed the door behind her. Once inside the closet she heard him curse in between clenched teeth. She put her ear against the door of the closet and heard the sound of him climbing back to bed and pulling the covers over his head.
“That was close…” she sighed.
Rukia lay awake for an hour, still unable to sleep. She was still thinking of how close she almost was in telling him how she feels. She sat up in the closet and took a deep breath before stealthily sliding the door open.
There he is…sound asleep, all the traces of animosity gone from his handsome features.
The raven-haired shinigami felt something fell down her pale cheeks. She raised a hand to wipe it away. She was crying. Clear bitter tears…the representation of everything that she's been hiding in her heart.
She thought about spilling the beans but she realized that she's not prepared to hear his answer. She was too afraid that he might say that he loves Inoue and not her. She remembered everything that he's gone through just to save her from the Hueco Mundo. She thought that maybe he's really in love with the ditzy girl.
Apart from that she thought that if ever he feels the same it would be impossible for them to be together. She thought of how the Soul Society will accept it…she feared for his life. What will her brother do to him if ever?
“No…I can't let anything bad to happen to him again…I'd rather die inside that see you in trouble.” She whispered to herself. With that she closed her eyes and fell asleep with tears in her eyes.
The next day….
“Good morning Ichigo! Hurry up or we'll be late for school!” she greeted in a very cheerful tone. The orange-haired teen scratched his head in confusion.
“You're really freaking me out, just last night you seem so restless and now…”
“Oh never mind last night! Come on we're late.” She cut him off and then jumped out of the window. Ichigo just smiled and hurried behind her totally unaware of what Rukia was really thinking.
“Suddenly, I don't want to let you know…how important you are deep in my heart. Suddenly, I don't want to let you know, I can't get away from your love anymore…Let the thoughts drown me, I will never escape, after all, you'll never know.” She told herself as she looked back at him.
