Soul Mates pt.1

Soul Mates Part 1
Blur

She felt her vision blur and a lump form in her throat, suddenly there wasn't enough air and she was finding it harder and harder to breathe, she took in a deep breath in an attempt to calm herslef and got down on her nees, putting her hands around his and looking into his deep coffee eyes, "Yes," she wispered so that only he could hear her, "I'll marry you," she said, sliping the ring on her finger and allowing him to embrace her as her already-blurred vision overflowed with tears

Eye

Her eyes closed slowly and her head fell over to the side, her breathing soft and slow as she fell into a deep sleep, he looked down at her, ebony hair spilling over a purple shirt and pale, snowy hands gently gripping orchid fabric, a smile broke over his face and his fingers started to twirl in her raven colored threads, he placed a soft, gentle kiss on her forehead, sure not to wake her, he smiled once more and allowed his own eyes to close

Attention

He wanted her attention, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the small creature on the ground, the very creature that had been taking all of Rukia's attention lately and leaving none for him, a tiny puppy named Angel, wich she was anything but, "Arf!" went the little dog, Ichigo simply glared further, "Why are you glaring at the puppy?" Rukia asked as she came into the room, Ichigo didn't answer her but merely watched as she placed Angel out of her way and came to sit next to him on the bed, she smiled and gave him a soft kiss on the lips, he smirked and scooted closer to receeve more of her attention

Cool

A cool wind blew her hair in front of her face, yet it didn't bother her and even continued to laugh, she tilted her sunglasses up and looked over at her companion, orange hair breezing through the wind just as her ebony threads did, "Turn up the radio!" she screamed, he reached over in the car and jacked up the music and Rukia wistled again, "Cool!!" she laughed

Command

He commanded himself not to give in, no, NEVER give in, he would NOT give in... and yet... he looked down at her big puppy eyes and that twitching bottum lip, and he couldn't resist, "Wat is it again?" he asked tiredly, "A doujin, it's non-hentai," she replied, he sighed and pulled out his wallet, if it made her eyes light up like that... then he didn't mind her commanding him to give up everything

Gentle

"Be gentle," Ichigo reminded her, Rukia glared over her shoulder at him, "I no that, I'm not stupid," she hissed, he took a step back, honestly the nerve... she looked back at the newborn bunny in her hands, so small, so fragil, just the very thought of how very frail this little creature was made her heart flutter, she watched in awe as the tiny bunny's eyes opened and stared up at her, she gulped quietly, waiting for a reaction, wen the little rabbit sat up and seemed to smile at her, she took in a breath and slowly let a large smile come over her lips, and with the very lightest of touches, Ichigo ran his finger across the baby animal's fur, "Be gentle Ichigo," she mocked

Hold

Rukia's hold on unconciouseness dropped and her eyes cracked open and she looked over her shoulder, it was happening again, he was having another nightmare, she sighed and propped herself up, preparing to wake him up and help him with watever nightmare was claiming him at the time, "Ichi-" she gasped wen all of a sudden he wrapped his arms around her and tugged her into his chest, "Ichigo...." she wispered, he burried his face in her back and took a few deep breaths, "Ru..kia..." he muttered in his sleep, she sighed slighlty and turned in his arms, taking in his sweet scent and allowing him to simply hold her with no boundries

Safe

Rukia looked out the window, a feeling of safety coming over her as she watched the rain slide down the window, she looked down at the little bunny in her lap and smiled softly, the very bunny Ichigo had given her for her birthday, her fingers came to rest in the deep, soft fur of the little rabbit and she closed her eyes, pulling the blankets a little closer so the bunny was warmer, and then she felt something light and equally warm come over her, she looked up and watched Ichigo drape a blanket over her shoulders before returning to his desk to finish studying, no words weere needed, just the nowledge that they were together, safe from the storms and winds and rains that had plagued them all along, she smiled softly and tugged the blanket closer, the safe feeling washing over her once more

Goodbye

It was a rule that they never said goodbye, "See you again", "Take care", "I'll be back soon" but never goodbye, it was a sort of... safety... for them, a way to tell the other that it WASN'T goodbye, that they'd see eachother again, that there was going to be a light at the end of the tunnel, it was very simple, that's why it shocked her so much the first time he said it, he was on his way to his new captin's office and she was on the way to her's, "Bye," he said, she leaned up and flicked him in the head, "Hey! Wat was that for!?" "Don't say that to me!" he smiled slightly, "Ah, yeah watever, I'll bring extra strawberry ice cream home," she smiled, "Yeah, you do that," it still wasn't goodbye....

Wait

Rukia stared into Ichigo's eyes and smiled softly, waiting for him to say something first, "It'll only be for a couple of days Ichigo," she said, stroking the back of his hand, "Yeah... I no..." he muttered, giving her that hurt puppy dog look, she sighed, "Put your bottum lip back were it belongs will you?" "Are you SURE I can't come with you?" "Ichigo, they're starting to call you The Guard Dog," "So?" "SO I'm going on a trip, you'd be bored and have nothing to do even if you DID come to Soul Society," "And I can't come on the trip with you?" "Kuchikis only," he looked away, she kissed his forehead lightly, "I'll be back before you can miss me," "Yeah right..." she giggled and started for the gate, waving goodbye to him, "R-Rukia!" she turned around and smiled softly, "I'll be waiting,"

Drive

It was the drive to be with him that made things so difficult, "Ichigo," she wispered, twirling a strand of orange hair in her fingers, "I ... I am so sorry..." she wispered, "But I have to go, I can't stay here with you, I just.... can't.... I made a promise that I have to keep, and I need to go keep it now," she wispered, memories of Kaien and the promise she made to him flashing through her head, she sighed, placing a soft, gentle kiss on his forehead and standing up, "Goodbye," she wispered to his sleeping figure, all of a sudden she felt a tug on her hand, she turned around to find that surprisngly, he was awake, "Rukia wait, PLEASE wait," he said, "Rukia... just talk to me, please, just.... don't leave until you've atleast told me why, please talk to me," she hesitated, but ultimatly sat down beside him and started to unravel her story, it was his drive to keep her by his side that ultimatly saved her life

Stop

It had to be stopped, this battle was going to end up killing him and all she could do was stand by and watch, no... that wasn't the way she played, she was going to go in and substitue for him, atleast for a wile, atleast until he got healed, he dealt Aizen one more blow, "STOP!!!" she shouted, alerting both of them, she rushed forward and stepped up to him, putting her hand on his shoulder, and said "Just.... stop...."

Shadow

He could see her shadow from underneath the crack of the door, alerting him to her presenece, slowly, the doornob turned and she stepped into the room, "Ichigo? Are you ok?" she wispered, walking into his hospital room and sitting on the edge of his bed, "I'm fine," he wispered, slowly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, burrying her head in his shoulder, "No.... no you're not fine, I can see that," she wispered, leaning back to look him in the eye, "But you just come to me wen you feel it's alright to, ok?" he smiled warmly at her, "How about tommorrow morning?" "Sounds good to me," she replied with a smile, he leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips, but wat neither of them saw, during the moment of sweetness and vulnerability, was Orihime's shadow by the door

Hide

He had to hide, hide from the Soul Society, from his freinds, his family, his inner hollow... he had to hide from it all, because currently he needed time, he needed to be able to speak with his inner hollow, to work out a deal, because he new very well that even if he got stronger, no matter how strong he got, his hollow would simply share the strength, so he was going away for a wile, not telling anyone were or how to contact him, he needed to be alone to work out a deal, for everyone's safety, only one person was allowed to come with him, the person who he new would never judge him under any circumstances, who needed by his side most, she was the only one who could come, he held his hand out and put one foot on the floor of the bullet train, "Let's go, Rukia," she smiled and placed her hand in his, "Ah, coming," she said, they would hide, together

Need

It was a need, a burning need that he had, he needed to be around her, for her to be with him, it was so simple, "Rukia please," he wispered, he placed one hand on the side of her face and placed his forehead on top of her's, "Please, stay here," he wispered, he just wanted her to stay with him, to not go to Soul Society anymore, just to be with him, that was all he wanted, "Ichi-" "Please Rukia, if you want to be a Soul Reaper, that's fine, if you don't, that's fine too, but please, just stay here," she smiled slightly, "A-Alright, I'll ask Captin Ukitake to work something out," but the truth of it was, it was her who needed him too

Sudden

It was a sudden sound, it wasn't expected, it just happened all of a sudden, she jumped slightly but noticed that Ichigo seemed unphased, "D-Did you hear that?" she sqweaked, he tilted his head, "Wat? The thunder?" he asked, "Y-Yes..." "Wat? You scared?" he said with a smirk, she frowned, "Shut up!" she sqweaked, he sighed slightly and grabbed her hand, pulling her onto the couch with him, "Come here," he chuckled, pressing her against his chest and snuggling closer, she blushed slightly at the move of sudden affection

Change

It was a change, a change in him and in her, it was something that happened during the countless battles in Hueco Mundo and the overlapping hours and days from the war, but somehow, all the petty things that had been on their nerves before didn't seem to matter at all anymore, he didn't complain wen she sat on his bed, he was just happy to have her close, to have her presence close to him, she didn't mind wen he ignored some of her rules or didn't follow her orders, because he was there with her, free to be there with her and by his CHOICE, he was there with her, it was so simple, but it was also SOMETHING, simple, but it was a CHANGE

Last

It hadn't lasted, the happiness from winning the war hadn't lasted for long at all, the time for cleaning up and reconstructing lives, buildings, communities, had come, all of them, it was time to clean it all up, to turn things back to normal or atleast some sort of cover they would call "normal" without it actually BEING normal, she closed her eyes, bit her lip, and took a deep breath, but wen she opened her eyes again, it was all dark, "Guess who?" a raspy voice wispered, warm breath tickling her ear, she smiled slightly, "Ichigo, you're not funny," he took his hands away from her eyes and looked into them himself, coffee colored orbs meeting bright orchid crystals, "Rukia, things are never going to be normal again, they're going to be BETTER," he promised, placing a gentle kiss on her lips and holding his hand out, "Yes," she said quietly, taking his hand in her's and turning to head back to the battlefeild, 'At the very least, I no one thing, this happiness, if nothing else, will always last...'

Motion

It was a calming motion, the gentle sway of the motercycle on the ground, Ichigo was far from a reckless rider, he was actually quite good, he was able to keep a steady rythum, swerving and turning without missing a beat, and somehow it comforted her, wen she was tired, wen life wasn't going her way, the motion beneath her was somehow... comforting, the world was quiet then, it was still, the only sounds were Ichigo's breathing, his heartbeat, and the roar of the bike, she sighed contently and pulled herself closer to Ichigo as they sped down the road, if she wasn't more aware that she couldn't.. she would have fallen asleep, it was just so calming... a motercycle's motion

Young

He was young, they both new that, but it didn't seem to matter, some told her it was just a puppy love, others that he only wanted a one night stand, but she didn't care, she didn't care that people said she was robbing the cradel because to her Ichigo was her age, if not older, the years weren't any diffrent, it was the DEFINATION of years; in Soul Society she was 150, he was 15 in the human world, but she was ALSO 15 in the human world, and he was ALSO 150 in Soul Society, age was nothing but a number, and sometimes, age is only a thought, old or young it didn't matter

Wrong

People said it was wrong, because he was a human, because she was a Soul Reaper, because he had his own life and she had no reason to invade it and turn it upside down, and for quite a long time, she agreed with them, but he made her understand very quickly and very vividly that it wasn't wrong, that he wanted his life to be shared with her's, to this day he had kept true to those words, always making sure to make her feel important, to give into her little wants and needs with only a few complaints, and never had he complained, like so many said he would, that she had ruined his life, made him grow up too soon, or that he regretted anything to do with her, if this WAS wrong, she didn't want to be right

History

It was Ichigo's history not to pay attention... "Do you understand me Ichigo!?" Rukia yipped, "Mm-hm," he muttered, she glared, "You're not paying attention to me at all are you!?" she sqweaked, "Mm-hm," "Ichigo! This is important! You NEED to no the history of Soul Society so you aren't anymore of a moron than you already are!" "Mm-hm," "ICHIGO!" he turned around and sighed, tossing her a little box, "Will you shut up?" she glared and opened the box, gasping and taking out a silver charm bracelet, "I-Ichigo..." "I saw you looking at it yesterday so I got it for you, there's your payment, now please, stop with the lectures and relax," he said, she smiled slightly, then again, it was sometimes that history was wrong, "....Ok...."

Power

He needed power, just one type of power, just enough to protect her, that was all he wanted, all he needed, he just wanted to be able to keep her safe, that was all, and so he trained, he trained hard to get his powers back, to get his Bankai, to control his hollow powers on more than one occasion, all of it he did for her, to protect her, for that power

Picture

It was such a cute picture, Rukia smiled slightly and held back a giggle, looking at the photo in her hands, it was one of Ichigo as a kid, he looked mad at the world like he always seemed to, "Why are you so giddy?" he asked as he entered his room, she smirked and hid the thing in her purse, "No reason~!" she muttered, he rolled his eyes at her, and from that day on, wenever she was having a tough time, she just smiled by looking at the little picture

Naked

She was one of those with a naked beauty, she didn't need make up like others did, she didn't need a push-up bra or any special clothes, she was just beautifull, no matter wat she wore or how messy her hair was that day, she was still beautifull, it was a rare sight now-a-days in the times of models and plastic surgery, but she pulled it off without even trying to, he smiled and watched her blow dry her hair, still damp from the shower, wrapped only in a towel, no mkae up, hair wet, skin slightly red, he smiled more, it was a simple, naked beauty
