Rukia's True Past (Bleach)

Unsuspected Visitors

~❄🌙❄~

I feel hot

Body feels sore

My skin feels ice cold

Throat on fire

Rukia's eyes flashed wide open. She gasped for air. She got up heaving with sweat coming down her face. She started coughing then suddenly something touched her back. Turning around she found Ukitake patting her back. She smiled in relief. Hantaro handed her a dry towel.

"Easy there. I'm glad to see how lively you are but you still have not recover from the fever."

Rukia smiled."A fever like this isn't going to beat me that easily."

Ukitake chucked. Suddenly the door flew open and there, standing in the middle of the entrance huffing his breath off was Ichigo.

"I...chi.g.o" Before she could finish her sentence ichigo threw his arms around her and embraced her. Rukia patted his back and smiled. Ichigo tightened his grip on Rukia's robe.

Ukitake coughed under his breath making ichigo separate from her. Ichigo put back his tough-guy-face expression. A spiky red head rushed into the room.

"Renji!" Rukia said.

Renji looked up."Rukia, I so glad that you ok."

Rukia put her thumb up for a "ok" signal. Renji came in and closed the door behind him.

"So how in the world did you get a fever. Did you eat something bad or did you catch it from someone else." Ichigo asked

Rukia shrugged." I have no idea. It's probably because i gone outside the other night."

Renji waved his hands up."Wow, you were outside. What if you got kidnapped. Do you know how dangerous that is."

Ichigo jabbed his arm with his elbow." You sound like her mom. Rukia can take care of herself."

"Rukia, what were you doing outside?" Ukitake said.

"Ummm...." She didn't want to tell them about the flashback she had along with the medallion she found. Ichigo and Renji were looking at her with a strange look.

"Well...you see..."

Rukia was cut off by a slam. They all turn toward the door to find byakuya.

"Nii-sama" Rukia said

Byakuya came to Rukia and looked at her."I'm glad that you're ok. "

"Thank you nii-sama." Rukia said smiling.

Ichigo scratched his head and turned toward her." Well, back to our conversation that we had before Byakuya came in. What were you doing outside?"

"Damn it." Rukia thought.

Byakuya had a shocked expression on his face." You went outside! By yourself!"

Rukia sighed."It's not a big deal. I just went out to get some fresh air and happened to see a rabbit behind the bushes." She tried really hard to make herself sound convincing.

"Well if that's what happened then you better be careful the next time decide to have a stroll in the night. Just bring something to keep you warm." Renji said

Rukia started at them. She couldn't believe they bought into her lie but she wasn't really proud of not telling the truth to them.

Ukitake stepped out walking toward the door."Well i have to go. It was nice to see you Rukia."

Rukia waved goodbye."Me too"

Renji also walked out."I've got a ton a paper work to do so i better go too. Gggaaa paper work, not really looking forward to it."
