A/N: so I kind of messed up in the last chapter. This was supposed to be part of it but now I decided to make it its own chapter. Hope you like it!
Ichigo's POV:
I stood at the entrance of the classroom door. I saw as Renji hugged Rukia after she spoke. I felt a pain in my chest as I saw her in his embrace. Damn, he beat me to her. Only if I knew what she said and what she felt. As I was thinking I stumbled on my foot and fell forward opening the door revealing me behind it. I saw as Rukia and Renji broke apart form the hug.
"Oi, Ichigo I found Rukia. She will be coming to lunch with us now she just needed to finish her class work," said Renji. I stood up on my feet.
"What type of class work was that? You two hugging doesn't seem like class work. What ever though see you two outside," I mumbled as I walked out the room with my head down. I rejoined the others and sat down without a word. Renji and Rukia were right behind me and sat down with us as well. We sat there in an awkward silence till some one spoke.
"Rukia where were you?"asked Orihime. Everyone starred at her waiting for a response. I looked the other way not even wanting to see a strand of her hair. Why did I have to feel like this? Why does it make me so angry?
"I was finishing some classwork," she replied. Everyone nodded there head in approval. The bell rang alerting us it was time for us to go back to class. As I was sitting down I felt something hit me. It was a balled up sheet of paper. Because of the crappy drawings on it, I knew that Rukia had threw it. I tossed the paper to the ground as I heard a heavy sigh full of anger to my side. The rest of the class Rukia tried to get my attention but I just ignored.
The final bell rang letting us know that we could finally go home. I quickly gathered my stuff and walked out. I walked the streets alone, lost in my own thoughts.
"Ichigo!" I heard someone yell behind me. As I turned around I saw raven colored hair and I knew who it was. I continued walking as if I didn't notice her. Why was I acting like this? I shouldn't let what I saw get to me. Why was I so mad? All of a sudden I felt something hit the back of my head. Did she just throw her shoe at me? As I turned around I saw a pissed off midget with only one shoe.
"What the hell is wrong with you Ichigo? You idiot I know you saw me and yet you still chose to walk away like I wasn't here. Is that what I am to you? Am I just invisible to you? I know you only have eyes for Orihime now since she confessed to you, but why do you ignore me all of the sudden? After all we been through, the battles and everything, you just ignore me as if I'm not there?" She yelled. Her violet eyes got so dull and looked watery. Her words left me speechless as I noticed how much of an idiot I was acting.
I picked up her shoe as I walked towards her. "I thought you and Renji were going to do classwork so I decided not to bother," I responded forgetting all the other questions asked.
"I see just to let you know the classwork was about you," she responded as she turned around and started walking away. I froze as I heard those words. She was hurt because of me.
Rukia's POV:
I guess I am just invisible to him now, I thought as he spoke. I let him know that when Renji was hugging me it was because of him. I decided to walk away and go to Urahara's shop to spend the rest of the day. As I walked I felt a grasp on my arm. As I turned to the other direction I saw the idiot carrot top. He looked down at me with a sorrowful face. He was going to speak but was interrupted.
"Kurosaki-kun," we heard Orihime squeal as she ran twords us. Renji was walking right behind her. "I think you both should leave us alone I have some thing to say to her," Ichigo said in a serious tone. Orihime and Renji insisted that he just tell me right there but he disagreed. I informed him if he didn't have anything else to say that I would be leaving to Kisuke's shop. He didn't respond so I began to walk.
"I don't like her and you are far from invisible. You made the pouring rain go away so how could you be invisible? You under stood things about me that others never could. If you think your invisible to me then you are just lying to yourself. You are my best friend. I ignored you because I was pissed when I saw you hugging Renji. So don't ever think that you are invisible and that I have forgot about you because what I feel for you and our bond we have together is way too strong," he yelled. Everyone stood there frozen processing the words we just heard. I felt my heart beat rapidly. As I turned around my violet orbs met his brown eyes. I bowed my head down as I heard Orihime faint sniffles.
"Come on Orihime I will walk you home," said Renji as they both walked away. Ichigo and I walked home as well. My body felt so warm and joyful since he said those words. So he really doesn't like her? I can let my heart ease from the pain of thinking that I am nothing to him. What about Orihime, my best friend?
"It's okay Rukia. Don't worry about Orihime. She knows that I could never really think of her more than a friend," Ichigo finally said breaking the silence. I smiled just remberimg the words he said. When we got home we ate dinner and as we finished we went to bed.
"Goodnight R-rukia."
"Goodnight Ichigo," I replied with a blush. Soon we booth fell asleep.
