Sorry for the wait, heh. I couldn't think of much. I heart Urahara so I had to put him into my first Bleach fanfiction somehow lol. I hope this chapter is satisfactory and if you would like more chapters or a little companion piece then please e-mail me or tell me in a review! I would prefer the latter one :wink wink: hehe.

Disclaimer: I am sadly enough only an obsessed fan who loves Urahara all the way.

His body went limp and she screamed into the vast night.

Urahara scratched at the back of his head as he leaned in the doorway. He watched the two sleep. "She'll have to decide tomorrow…" sighing, Urahara left in hopes of being able to sleep as deep as them.

Rukia's head snapped up and her hand stopped stroking his orange mat of hair. Kisuke's words pounded in her head "Kurosaki-kun is barely hanging in there." She watched Ichigo breathe heavily.

"Rukia-san, which do you love more? Kurosaki-kun or Soul Society and being a death god?" He asked softly. "There's one way you might save him. You could give him your powers again but you might turn completely human causing you to never be able to go back to Soul Society. I'm sure you'd still have enough spiritual energy to see hollows and other spiritual entities. But you'll never regain your powers…"

She loved Ichigo. She truly did. He was her everything yet…Soul Society had been her home for centuries. Her friends there…she would never be able to see them again unless they came to visit her which was highly unlikely. Renji…her best friend…she would have to leave him. Rukia also had loved being a shinigami. But…if his life was on the line…she would most definitely give him her powers.

"I'll do it, Urahara; I'll give Ichigo my powers again. Are you sure this will help him?"

"Yes…it'll boost back up his body's power so he can heal himself. "

"There's no going back now, Rukia-san."

"I know…"

As to Ichigo was not conscious so he could have powers transferred to him through a zanpakutoh, Urahara was used as the link. Placing his hands over there hearts, he cleared his mind. Rukia raised her spirit energy sending it to him. A brilliant, white flash occurred.

He caught her before she hit the ground and placed her next to Ichigo on the mat. Instead of a normal, white yukata, Rukia was dressed in a deep crimson one…
