Keep Smiling
"Rukia... please," Ichigo muttered

He leaned down and gripped his hands over her arm, "Please open your eyes Rukia, PLEASE... just open your eyes...."

"Rukia...."

Suddenly she intook a sharp, shakey, breath

"Rukia!" Ichigo said relieved, leaning down and wrapping his arms around her

She hissed in pain

"Are you alright?" he asked quietly

She nodded once

"A bit sore..." she replied quietly

He pulled away from her and stood up

"Ichigo? W-" she inhaled sharply again as he leaned down and picked her up

"Sorry if you're in pain," he muttered, being carefull to hold her in a way that was probbably less painfull

"It's alright.... Ichigo... your hair... it grew,"

"Yeah...."

"You got taller,"

"...Yeah..."

She closed her eyes and leaned against his chest as he started to run

Using his shunpo to get to the nearest healer

Orihime

Unohanna

Hatchi

Hanatarou

He didn't care

"I'm sorry..." she said quietly

"Why are you sorry? It isn't your fault,"

"Yes it is... you never would have had to grow up so quickly if it weren't for me..."

"Tch, I grew up once my mother died,"

She closed her eyes, now not only did she ache physcially...

...She ached emotionally too....

"Still, I'm sorry,"

"Stop saying that,"

"I-"

He haulted

"Stop," he leaned down and placed his lips over her's in a rough but loving way

He was no longer a boy like the day she met him

And he was no longer the cross between an adult and a child like the last time she saw him

He was a MAN

100% pure masculinity that overpowered her small, feminine body in every way

His scent wasn't quite as sweet as usual

It was diffrent, it had more of a masculene smell

Not that she was complaining

His face was diffrent too, the way his hair was draped over his skin

The chizzled lines of his jaw

The harsh structure of his noes

But most diffrent of all were his eyes

They no longer held that ounce of childhood innocence that they used to

The ounce of childhood innocence that even her eyes retained

And for that she hated herself

She wished his eyes hadn't changed

If there was only one thing that could stay the same...

But nothing could last forever

In the back of her mind she had been waiting for him to change but despite all the times he had matured...

....He still never changed completly like he had now...

For once she felt like the equality of their relationship had shifted

They weren't on the same level anymore and that dissapointed her

Mostly because now it felt like he was better than her

The pure dominating way he moved his lips over her's and asserted his manly attitude

As if he were a wolf trying to mark his territory so that no other wolf would go near her

Trying to show her, and probbably everyone else, that she was HIS

It was a dominating, possesive, kiss that she had never expected from him

In the past his kisses were gentle, sweet, occasionally a little hot, but never as... neandtherthaulish as THIS was...

He finally came up for air and she was almost afraid to see his expression

Afraid that he was going to have the same, taunting grin on his face as he had everytime he won a battle

She didn't want him to look at her like that

To veiw something that she only veiwed as a purely affectionate gesture as some sort of battle or claim of territory

Kisses weren't supposed to be like that

There were other ways to show a claim on your mate, but to her, kissing had always been something that was only done as a display of affection

Nothing more

Nothing less

Cautiously, she looked up and suuddenly her heart soared

He wasn't smirking

He wasn't grinning

He wasn't frowning

He was SMILING

The same sweet, innocent smile that he had always had

'That smile...' she thought as she smiled back

His hair has changed

His height has changed

His attitude has changed

His voice has changed

Even his eyes have changed

But the one thing that stayed the same

The one thing that maturity hadn't ripped away from him like a bone from a dog

The one thing that was still innocent and purely SWEET and KIND about him

Was his smile

"Ichigo you need to promise me something," she said as he started walking again

"Hm?" he asked, his eyes softening

"Keep smiling,"

He didn't answer her verbally, but leaned down and gave her one of his old kisses

Purely sweet, loving, and affectionate

And she smiled too
Commission for :iconhyohime: :) Hope you like it :la: Wondering how Rukia would react to Ichigo's new maturity and wondering if he would act as mature as he looks...
