Rukia woke up in the middle of the night only to hear the screams of Ichigo Kurosaki. He was screaming in his sleep. She was used to it by now, it was raining after all whenever it rains he screams in all his dreams.

Rukia hated the rain as much as he did they both killed someone on a rainy day they both have sinned on the day that heaven cried.

She rolled over and tried to ignore it when suddenly she heard the screech of a hollow. She jumped up and slid the closet door opened only to see Ichigo covering his eyes the only thing visible was his big scary grin.

His grin reminded her of Gin that smile that had death written all over it the one that haunted her before the execution.

She looked and started at him. She decided that she wasn't going to find answers by just sitting here looking at him.

She let her warm feet touch the cold hard floor that sent shivers up and down her body. She walked over to Ichigo and saw he didn't even notice that she was there in front of him.

"Ichigo?" she asked as she put a hand on his shoulder only to feel him flinch away as he looked up and gazed into her huge beautiful eyes. His own eyes widen as he looked at her he was captivated by her.

"R-Rukia?" he asked as he reached his hands up and touched her cheek. Her round warm cheek against his cold hands, Rukia was shocked by his action. He was never the type of person to do such things to her of all people.

He never let her go, as if he had to make sure she was real he had to have proof that she was right here right now leaning against his hand.

He suddenly let his hand fall to his lap letting the cold air hit her cheek as she longed for more of his touch. In a quick movement he wrapped his arms around her back and rested his face on her chest leaving her in shock.

She blushed as she felt his face in between her chest but ignored it when he suddenly started to hold her tighter and tighter within each second.

She felt like a mother holding a scared infant. The way he held her like he needed her, like he would die without her, as if he was dependent on her warmth her touch or even her smile.

She smiled as she wrapped her arms around his head thinking it was the only thing she could do. Rukia was never good when it came to a situation like this.

"Don't ever leave me Rukia," He said his mouth moving against her yellow pajama top as on of his arms moved on her shoulders and the other moved down to her waist.

"I have to" she replied, she didn't want it to end any more then he didn't. She had to this wasn't a fantasy were she could be with him on pure love. It was the real world, a world that she didn't belong in, one that she left a long time ago.

In a single moment he flipped her over so that she had her back against the bed and her head resting on his pillow while he jumped on top of her his cheek resting over her heart closing his eyes.

She blushed when she realized what position she was in. He wasn't the same something was wrong but she was lost in love to realize that. She was living her dream she panicked when she realized he could probably hear her heart.

He rested his right hand on her other chest causing her to turn a dark red. "It beats for Ichigo?" he said drifting into sleep leaning on her more as she heard him falling asleep drifting into a fake happiness, a dream.

Ichigo was never one to talk in third person. But right now it wouldn't matter she wanted every second to enjoy this she just wanted that she didn't want anything else she was upset when she thought she had to wake up.

Then she realized, it wasn't a dream.

"Ichi-nii, it's time to get up and get ready for school" Yuzu said as she shook him back and forth trying to wake him up so he doesn't get scold like all the other times.

"O-Okay I'm up" Ichigo said as he sat up watching Yuzu smile and walk out of the room closing the door. He looked at his hands and then he jumped up and looked next to him to see Rukia not there.

"Rukia!" he yelped as he looked around the room only to hear a sliding door opening. He turned his head only to see Rukia jumping out of the closet in her school uniform.

"You fool don't yell they'll get susp-" she couldn't finish when she was suddenly thrown into his chest as he pushed her head into him with his hand. One hand on her head the other around her waist.

"Its okay Rukia, you don't have to act tough all the time. Let me see under your mask of fake happiness" he whispered into her ear as he raced out downstairs to get breakfast.

She just stared off into space no one besides Kaien ever realized she was masking her pain and sadness no one ever cared enough. How is it that he suddenly out of thin air figured out? When he never worried before or never talked about it.

When they got to school Rukia tried to avoid Ichigo as much as she possible could afraid not knowing how to act knowing he knew that she was faking it.

She talked and laughed with Inoue and Tatsuki knowing and seeing out of the corner of her eye Ichigo. He had been following her this whole entire time watching her spying on her every movement.

She pardoned herself from the lunch gathering and walked over to his 'hiding spot' and stood right in front of him.

"What is wrong with you why are you following me around?" she asked as she looked him in the eye with and angry expression on her face. She stopped when she saw his hurt expression.

"Rukia there's something I have to tell you," he said as he rested both of his hands on each of her shoulders closing his eyes putting his head down not wanting her to see his face.

She just stood there not knowing what to expect. She was nervous he was never shy around people.

"Rukia…..I-I I LOVE YOU" he said as his voice rose at the end blushing looking her in the face. He griped her shoulders tighter and drew her close to him picking his hands up resting it under her chin pulling her up to his face.

Rukia was scared he was about to kiss her HE Ichigo Kurosaki was about to kiss HER Rukia Kuchiki. It was all so sudden for her.

His lips were about to make contact when he pushed her away and held his head.

She fell over and landed on her bum sitting there looking at Ichigo as if he was in pain his eyes changing from black to red to gold to normal it was all crazy. She looked down at her cell phone seeing as it was beeping loud and long and noticed there was a hollow nearby and got up and ran away

Ichigo stood there smirking again standing there all alone as he began to talk to himself.

"Thanks to you I lost my chance. Damn you Ichigo" Ichigo yelled out still smirking looking up at the sky his hair covering his eyes.

Deep inside Ichigo inside his own little world Ichigo was in a dark room chained to a wall with many many many chains like a psycho criminal.

His bright orange hair now a dull color his eyes full of rage and anger his fist balled up ready to kill trying to escape all the chains around him.

"Don't you dare lay another freakin finger on her you bastard" Ichigo yelled as he remembered the incidences from last night, he was lucky he was strong enough to stop his hollow side from kissing her.

"I might not be able to contain myself Ichigo she is a beautiful girl after all," His hollow form mocked as he chuckled.

"She doesn't love you! She'll never let you near her!" Ichigo yelled as he smirked knowing how Rukia is.

"I understand and love her unlike you Ichigo, she'll come to me, weather she wants to or not I can always take her by force" the hollow side said as he licked his lips looking in the direction wear she took off.

"You sick bastard." Ichigo mumbled as he looked down and said something the hollow side would never EVER forget.

"You may have her in your arms, but I have her heart"

Likey! No Likey you tell me In the next chappie will Rukia rind out its not really Ichigo? Will she willingly go with hollow side or will he 'take her by force'? Would she ever see the real Ichigo? All in next chappie I know I'm cruel leaving you hangin and all but I have school in an hour I got to get ready bye bye
