Rukia's pov:
I felt my blood boil inside as my hands bawled into a fist. I excused my self from my friends as I went to sit at my seat. I needed to calm myself before I did something unforgettable. I tried my best to not show my emotions but my foot tapped impatiently.
How could he do that? I gave it to him so he could remember me if I was not by his side. Did he not want to have a memory of me? I thought to myself. I felt something drip on my cheek. I wiped away the single tear quickly. How could a simple necklace hurt me like this? How could I be so jealous of my best friend? Why did you have to make me feel like this Ichigo? I guess this is my punishment for making you go along with the plan to talk to Orihime. Just please don't fall for her Ichigo. If you do we would be broken apart.
Suddenly the bell sounded bringing me back to reality. I hoped for the class to pass by slow. I didn't have the energy to confront Ichigo and Orihime. Sadly fate was not on my side as time passed with a snap of a figured Soon I found myself eating outside. I distanced my self from everyone else. I hoped to eat alone but I felt someone's presences next to me. As I looked up I noticed Renji smiling down at me. He sat down beside me and gave me a worried look.
"Why aren't you over there?" he questioned while motioning to my group of friends. I didn't want to tell others my troubles so I just shrugged my shoulders. We sat there in silence as we heard the laughs of our friends.
"What a fool he is for giving that necklace to her," Renji stated making me look at him. He figured out what I was upset about. There he was sitting next to me and feeling sympathy for my feelings towards Ichigo even though he liked me.
"How do you do it?" I asked. Renji looked at me in confusion. "How do you sit here and worry about me knowing I like someone else? How can you still be this close to me after I told you I didn't feel the same way?" I elaborated. His confused face soon turned to a gentle smile.
"You're my friend. No matter how you feel I'll be there to help you fight," he replied. Maybe that's why I still stick around Ichigo. I like him so much I would bare my pain just to see him hurt. Out of no where I heard snapping as I realized Renji was trying to get my attention. He told me lunch was over so we both left inside.
The remaining of the class passed by fast. As I walked outside alone I saw two orange heads looking at me. I tried to avoid them for some reason but failed.

"Kuchiki-san we waited for you," squealed Orihime while smiling. Ichigo didn't say a word to my but just avoided eye contact. I gave Orihime a genuine smile while thanking her. The three of us began to walk in silence. Why was Orihime walking with Ichigo I? Her apartment isn't this direction, I thought to myself.
"I can't wait to taste Yuzu's food in my mouth," stated Orihime which answered my question. She was coming over for dinner. After minutes of complete silence we finally arrived to Ichigo's house. As we walked in we headed to the kitchen. The smell of Yuzu's food made my mouth water as we sat down. Ichigo's family was currently making conversation with Orihime. I paid no attention to what was being said. I just laughed and smiles every other comment they had to say.
"What a beautiful necklace you have Orihime," Yuzu complimented. I felt my body tense as my mood changed from calm to pure anger. I got up from my chair while pushing it slightly hard.
"I am no longer hungry. Thank you for the dinner Yuzu it was great. I'm tired I'll be going to sleep now goodnight," I tried to stay as calm as I could. From Ichigo's facial expression I could tell I didn't hide my anger in my tone too well. I walked up the stairs and went directly to lay in my bed.
How can I have so much anger? Stop being selfish Rukia. This isn't about Ichigo and you. You put Ichigo up to this plan with Orihime. You shouldn't feel this way. Orihime deserves to be happy with the one she loves so don't interfere. Don't feel troubled over a dumb necklace, I thought to myself.
I just laid there with an emotionless face. I glared at the darkness that surrounded me. I couldn't help but think about Ichigo and Orihime. I didn't want to think about it anymore and have these mixed emotions. I got up and walked put of the room. As I walled down stairs all the lights were turned off and it was extremely silent. Ichigo must have taken Orihime back and still hasn't returned. Great, that's exactly what I need. I don't need him to stop me from what I plan to do.
I put my jacket on and made my way to the Urahara shop. As I approached the doors I let out a sigh as I thought quietly to myself. I can't back down. This isn't just for me but for Ichigo and Orihime as well.
As I was about to knock Kiskue had opened the doors. He wore his sheepish smile like usual as he welcomed me in. He questioned why I was there at such an hour.
"I need you to open the Senkaimon and I have this paper to be delivered to someone," I replied. He didn't question me any longer. He took the paper and put it in his pocket and a couple of minutes later he did what I asked. I walked into the Senkaimon and soon walked into the soul society. It was night there too so no one would question and see me. I made my way to my barrack to get some rest. This was so unlikely of me. I left Ichigo and the others without a word. Hopefully this will do good.
I'm sorry Ichigo that I left you. But it seems like you left my heart with a broken part, I thought before allowing my eyes to close taking me into a deep slumber.
