"I don't hear anything." Momo whispered to Rangiku and Renji.

They all had their ear close to Ichigo's door.

"Maybe they fell asleep…?" Renji suggested, which earned him a slap behind the head by Rangiku.

"We just saw Rukia walk in."

Momo hushed them "Not so loud."

Rukia couldn't help but look over her shoulder at the darkening shade of black around Ichigo's eye.

He was too busy driving them back home to notice.

"I'm sorry." She broke the silence.

Ichigo looked at her from the corner of his eye, "It wasn't your fault."

"Yes it was," she placed her hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry."

She could feel the tears coming back but she didn't want to shed them.

"I'm s-so sorry." she began sobbing lightly.

It wasn't her fault.

It was his, for lying.

"It's my fault, I lied to you," he turned the corner "and I made you cry."

She bit her bottom lip,

He wasn't to blame.

It was her fault for being so blind.

"Kaien, are you alright?" a women with long black hair asked from his bedroom door.

He didn't answer.

"You finally got rid of her." She smirked before walking in.

Revealing her rob covered body.

"Now, this won't count as cheating." She switched her way over, standing right in front of him.

Her body between his legs.

She ran her fingers on his bruised face "I'll make you feel better."

She kissed him.

He quickly took off the rob, revealing her naked body.

He smirked.

"Ichigo!" Rangiku ran up to them once the door opened and she saw his face. "What happened!"

"It's nothing." He reassured before walking by them.

Rukia right behind him.

"Do you need an icepack?" Momo afford, already walking to the kitchen.

"I'll be alright."

Rukia stopped walking.

"I'll get it for him."

Rukia kissed him again, waiting for him to make a move.

Or say something.

Anything.

But he didn't speck.

He just stared at her.

"Say something." She whimpered, shoving him down on the bed.

She was on top of him.

"Please…?" she was begging him, kissing his neck.

"I will." he snaked his arms around her waist.

She began sobbing.

"You will what?" she was crying in his ear now.

"Try to be the one."

They kissed and the lit candle on the floor went out.

-x-

"I think they're kissing." Rangiku smirked from the floor. She notice that the little bit of light that was there had just went out.

"Are you sure?" Momo almost jumped in excitement.

And relief.

Rangiku nobbed and they began high fiving and hugging each other.

"I'll try." Ichigo said from Renji's bedroom door.

Renji looked up from his laptop.

"What?" Renji narrowed his eyes at him, placing the laptop beside him.

"I'll try to be the one."

Renji smirked.

"Finally."

Rukia opened her eyes and looked at Ichigo.

She was lying in his arms.

She felt lucky.

She thought losing Kaien was going to be the end of the world for her.

That she lost the most important person in her life.

But she was corrected.

Corrected when she found out that Ichigo was the one that really cared.

Even loved her.

And now she will try.

She will try to love him.

They kissed and the lit candle on the floor went out.

Ichigo flipped her over so that she was under him.

He kissed her one last time "Let's go to sleep."

Rukia blushed.

He didn't want her to do anything to rush before she was sure.

She was touched. "Thank you."

He smiled.

Even in the dark, she could see it.

"Ichigo?" she whispered to the sleeping man beside her.

He moved a little, his arms still securely wrapped around her waist.

He opened his eyes slowly "What's wrong?"

"I just wanted to see if you were awake."

Ichigo's eyes looked sleepy.

Her question was answered.

"Sorry." She whispered before laying her head back on his chest.

"It's alright." He moved closer to her body.

Making her blush a little.

"Ichigo?"

"Yea?"

"Can…can I hold your hand?"

She heard him sigh lightly.

Then her hand was slowly held by his.

Their fingers intertwining.

Suddenly, he felt a warm kiss on his neck.

"Thank you, Ichigo."

And after that night, Rukia began to fall more in love with Ichigo and forgot about Kaien completely..!

A/N: FIN! Wow, I can't believe It's really over... I'm still in denial that it is. Or is it? :3
