This Story has been inspired by an Indian movie named "Jab We Met" (When we met) by Imtiaz Ali. It is one of my favorite movies. This is an AU story with a bit of OOC ness (I guess ). My other story "Spin Around You" is on hiatus as I am out of ideas for it . I know how the story will end and how the last part of story would be but don't know how to continue after the second chappie (Rukia would be so happy with chappie :P ).Oh and sorry for the very long author's note and again English is not my native language so please bear with it!

There will be no lemons though. Sorry . And before anyone sues me, here it goes.

When We Met

Kurosaki Ichigo was depressed. Life has a bitch to him recently. No, scratch that. Life has been a bitch to him for some years and the one he thought to support him during the tough times was not here with him.

'Orihime' he thought wistfully as he walked aimlessly.

oOoOoOo

Kurosaki Ichigo was the CEO of multi national family run business "Zangetsu Corp.". He was known to be the youngest billionaire of Japan at the age of just 23 years.

Ichigo's mother, Kurosaki Masaki had been fighting with cancer since he was very young and this is what had motivated him to become what he is today, the owner of a multi billion dollar company .He became a very successful businessman so that he could spend in the RnD department for research on cancer. And he was able to fulfill his dream as he was able to spread his company overseas.

Kurosaki Isshin, Ichigo's father, had stepped down from the top position of Zangetsu Corp. to look after his ailing mother as soon as he turned 18. But all of their efforts couldn't stop Masaki from passing away.

His younger twin sisters, Yuzu and Karin, as well his father was devastated from the loss of his mother. Masaki was like the glowing sun of the family that always radiated warmth and after her death, it seemed like the sun had set in all of their lives clouding it with darkness.

But it was Ichigo who suffered the most. He had hoped that he would be able to find a cure but he felt like his mom passed away from his hold like sand even though he tried his best to hold her. His life was not only clouded, it now rained all the time. Inuoe Orihime was able to reduce the terrible storm and make it reduce to drizzle sometimes. So he hoped that she would be able to make the rain go away, but he was wrong.

oOoOoOo

Ichigo was surprised when Orihime started avoiding him gradually. He was busy with a merger and had to be there with his mom along with the goat face and his sisters that he didn't have enough time or energy to ponder on it.

As the days passed, he spent more time in hospital and had less time for everything else, also Orihime. And then one day, his mom left them and joined the angels in heaven.

After some days of not having food and shutting himself off from everything, he decided that he would have to move forward. His mom wouldn't want him to be moppy. In fact, he needed to be strong, even Yuzu; the softest one of his family was trying to be brave by smiling and making foods for everyone although her smiles never reached her eyes. Karin was sulking as usual and tried to spend more time at home and Isshin was the one who seemed to have recovered fast. He was being his usual idiot self and had hanged a huge poster of his mom in the living room and would try stupid antics with all the other family members.

After a month and half, he was able to recover a tiny little bit somehow and decided to apologize to Orihime. He had greatly hoped that Orihime would be able to at least make the storm go away but he was in for a surprise.

oOoOoOo

As Ichigo came down through the stairs, he saw his dad being his usual goofy self and trying to convince Yuzu and Karin that he was a shinigami and used to hunt bad spirits. He was even showing them moves and had a black curtain like thingy tied to his neck and jumping up and down pretending to fly.

Yuzu was listening attentively whereas Karin looked bored. Then Isshin spotted Ichigo.

"Ohh Masaki my darling finally my idiot of a son is having breakfast with us. I'm so happy "said Isshin as he tried to hug Ichigo and came running towards him with bid fat fake tears rolling from his eyes.

"SHUT IT IDIOT" shouted Karin as Isshin was sent flying towards the living room with a kick just before he could pound on Ichigo.

"Thanks " Ichigo muttered."I'm going to meet Orihime today" he told everyone.

He was surprised to meet with dead silence and his sisters' hidden glances. Even the oaf was being unnaturally quiet.

"What?" he demanded.

"Umm onii san, uhh . . . this is for you" Yuzu said and handed him an envelop that suspiciously looked like some kind of invitation card.

"What is it? Wha. . .?" Ichigo stopped mid sentence as he saw the bold words 'WEDDING INVITATION' written on envelop.

He didn't have to look inside to know what it was. Certainly, the bold light orange letters and the cake watermark could only mean one thing . . . Orihime.

oOoOoOo

Ichigo went straight to his office snatching that envelop from Yuzu.

One week passed after that incident. He didn't know how it passed though. He was too engrossed in his work. He had to catch up for all the times he was in the hospital and in his home mopping. He had to make sure that the research did not stop; he didn't want any other people to loose their beloved ones.

Ichigo sighed. He was tired. He still had that invitation letter folded in his coat pocket.

He needed a break.

oOoOoOoO

Ichigo couldn't remember how he reached the Karakura train station. He bought a ticket for Sereitei. Karakura to Sereitei route was still managed by a steam locomotive and his mom used to love it. He wanted to spend some lone time. He wanted to go to Sereitei and spend the night there and return back the next day.

He sat on his compartment looking outside the window and that's when he heard someone call him, "Oi! You there. Help me ne mister orange!"

His brow twitched at the given pet name and his hands clenched subconciously. He choose to ignore the owner of the voice.

But his thoughts came to a halt as he was distracted yet again as the girl rambled " Oi carrot top. Are you deaf? I mean I know you are a retard to have colored your head a blazing orange but hey are you deaf too? You. . " ."Don't you ever shut up?" retorted Ichigo and glared at the girl with his usual scowl.

" Ow so you DO talk and hear ne?" the girl smirked and sat right opposite of him. Somehow, given the size of her, she was able to bring her luggage with her inside the compartment.

Ichigo studied the girl. She was a petite one with raven locks and purplish-blue eyes. She was pale but her cheeks looked healthy and rosy. An unruly bang adorned her . . err. . cute face? As he looked up and their eyes met, he saw that the girl was staring at him.

Ichigo felt uncomfortable and decided to look outside the window.

"You know, this reminds me a scene from the Harry Potter. You harry and me Ron. No Wait! Me Harry and you Ron your hair . ."

"What?" Ichigo growled and looked at the girl.

Here he was trying to calm down his storm and this midget of a girl was annoying him to no ends.

The midget was still looking at him. She stretched her hand and said "Hey I'm Kuchiki Rukia. Nice to meet you. And you are?"

Ichigo groaned inwardly but nevertheless shook her hand and said "Ichigo". He didn't feel like giving away his identity to some stranger.

The girl suddenly looked like she was about to burst out laughing but was trying her best not to do so. Ichigo was familiar with that reaction. He started "My name doesn't mean. . . "but he was cut with the girl giggling and saying

"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow

Turn this scowling strawberry yellow"

Ichigo was flabbergasted. He didn't know what to say. His brow was twitching. He didn't know whether to be angry at that laughing girl, or to join her in her laughter. This girl, this Kuchiki Rukia was laughing and literally was rolling from side to side on her seat. She looked so. . so. . innocent? What the hell was wrong with him?

He shook his head and decided to take a stroll in the station to clear his head a bit before the train started. Actually, he was trying to get away from that damn annoying midget.

"Hey wait up!" He heard Kuchiki shout and run after him." Hey I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself."

"It's ok. Go away."

"Hey. I know you are depressed and I was just trying to help you know. You must have lost someone close to you ne?"

Ichigo stopped right there and turned to Kuchiki. "I'm NOT depressed and what happens in my life is my own away and play."He walked faster towards the exit of the station.

"Hey I'm a sophomore in college you know" Kuchiki replied.

"What the hell is your problem? Stop following me around you vertically challenged shorty!" Ichigo couldn't help but bite back at Kuchiki.

" Oi! I'm gonna pretend that you never said that and hey I can really help you know carrot top!"

" Stop calling me weird names!"

" Only when you start to call me by my name sweetie."

Ichigo's vein popped. "Fine. Kuchiki cut it out."

"No. No. No. Call me Rukia" she replied with a reassuring smile.

" Ok. Fine. Rukia stop it. You don't even know me. In fact we don't even know each other" Ichigo answered dejectedly.

"Hmm. You got a point. But as we are going to be in the same compartment for this journey, why don't we become friends' hmm?"

"Whatever" replied Ichigo and started to walk towards the exit. He could tell that the girl was still following him.

Suddenly, he felt a tug in his hand that and saw that Kuch. . Rukia grabbed his hand and tugging him towards somewhere. "Hey! What? Where are you going?"

"There's an ice cream stand that I saw .lets go and have a bite before our train starts".

"No we shouldn't" He said and that's when he heard it. The train started and was moving.

Ichigo saw that Rukia dashed past him towards the train and was frantically moving her hands.

'Great!' Ichigo thought.
