Third person pov:

Yesterdays memories flooded Ichigo's head. All the answers he could have possibly wanted were given to him. Yet he still felt uneasy. He had Rukia by his side yet he still felt an emtpty whole.

He turned over onto his side on his bed. He looked at his clock on the table besides him. It was midnight and he still couldn't sleep. He felt like something was bothering him but he couldn't figure out what.

"Can't sleep?" He heard a familiar voice question. He looked up and noticed how the closet door was open. Rukia was standing up rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah," Ichigo replied simply. Rukia walked over to his bed and sat on the corner. He felt as the bed slightly shifted. They both sat there in silence. Ichigo had his eyes fixed on Rukia. He tried to fight a smile but failed. She was really back. Yet he questioned himself would it be forever? What would happen if the mission is called back? Would she just leave with out a word like before? Those questiones made a drastic change in his mood. He then began to feel gloomy all of the sudden.

If she leaves me again, I won't be able to fix my broken heart. If she leaves, I don't know what I will do, Ichigo thought to himself.

"What's wrong?" Rukia questioned. Ichgio blinked his eyes as he noticed he was still starring at her. He began to feel that all to familiar tingly feeling. He quickly looked at somethimg other then Rukia.

"Nothing," he replied simply. Rukia could tell he was lying. She felt determined now to find out what was the matter.

"You idiot, I know you too well. I know you're lying so just tell me," Rukia stated firmly. Ichigo pulled the covers over his head hoping Rukia would just forget about this.

Rukia felt as her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. Why was Ichigo behaving like this? She thought they had gotten over this last night. She thought they were back to being normal as if she had never left. That's when she noticed she was wrong. Once you break something, even though you glue the lives back together, it will never be the same like it was in the beggining. She bowed her head as she got up from Ichigo's bed. Her sorrow was quickly overcame with pure anger.

Why is this idiot doing this again? She thought to herself. She walked over to Ichigo and stood in front of him inspecting his body which was now covered with his blanket.

Ichigo felt as Rukia stood up from the bed and heard her footsteps grow gradually closer and louder. His eyes widened as he felt someone beside his bed. He began to worry not knowing what the raven hair girl was about to do.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He began to cough up air as he struggled to breathe. He felt as the cover was yanked from him revealing him to the coldness of the room.

"What the hell was that for!" Ichigo exclaimed. He was looking directly at Rukia's face.

"Keep it down you idiot you're going to wake you family up," she replied. Rukia did what she thought she had to do. She had punched Ichigo were she thought his stomach would be. She was grinning on the inside as she sucesfully hit her target.

"Can't you just leave me alone go back to sleep? Don't worry about my troubles, its not like you did when you were gone. I can handle them by myself. After all I had been doing that for a while," Ichigo stated. As the words left his mouth he realized what he had said. He wished he could have taken it back but he knew he couldn't.
