If I can fly, he would not need to protect me.

If I can become stronger, he would not rain for me.

If I can understand blue sky, he would understand me too.

If I, only if I…

Keys rattled and the door was soon swung opened. Rukia stepped into her flat's living room, tired from her intensive three hours karate training. She slowly closed the door behind her, scanned across the dim lit room and spotted a note on the dining table. She approached to the table and held up to read the note.

"Hey midget! Did you have enough ass kicking? Since I have to teach Karin, Yuzu Math and English today, might as well leave a note to tease you.

Well see you at school tomorrow Shorty!

P.S. I hope u were tall enough to reach this note :p !"

"That Ichigo!" Rukia cursed him under her breath. "He just loves to pick on people (that are short). I'm going to get him at school tomorrow!"

She crushed the note into a ball and dumped it on the table, stretched her exhausted body, and started to walk down the dark corridor to her bedroom. She stopped as she saw Karin and Yuzu's bedroom door. Her violet eyes peaked from the door gap and see the two girls sleeping soundlessly.

Yuzu and Karin, her neighbor's daughter. Their parents died in a car crash three years ago and Rukia was the family's only friend who was willing to raise them. Ever since that tragic accident, she has been taking care of them like her little sisters.

"Yuzu, Karin…" she muttered in her mind. "No matter what happens, I'm going to be there to protect you two. He…will never hurt you girls again, never again."
