Rukia's True Past (Bleach)

State of Mind

"Achoo." A sneeze came out of Rukia's nose.

"Someone must be talking about you," Masumoto said with a smirk.

Toshiro glared at Masumoto." Don't be stupid, Rangiku. She might not have recovered from the flue."

Matsumoto sighed. " Oi, Toshiro. You're no fun."

A vein popped out of Toshiro's forehead out of annoyance. Taking a deep breath he didn't want to argue with Masumoto due to his tolerance of how she was acting right now.

Meanwhile, Rukia was munching on dumplings that Ukitake made for her along with the sake Masumoto brought in.

"Not to be rude but why are guys here when you should be working," She asked while nibbling on her dumpling.

Matsumoto globbed Rukia with a tiny squeal coming out of her mouth. "We here because we're your friends. I never thought you could be so adorable! You new hair cut looks so cute on you!"

Rukia's eyebrows went downward at the thought of being called cute like she was a 5 year old.

"And.," Toshiro interrupted. " Byakuya wanted us to watch you while he's gone."

"Why couldn't Ichigo have done that?"

There was silence in the room. Toshiro shrugged without saying a word.

A bird landed onto the porch with a plop. It was sunny outside today with the breezing blew into the room.

Matsumoto grabbed the sake out of the bucket full of ice and waved it up in the hair.

"Ok, lets get this party started. Sake on the house!"

"Rangiku!"

Matsumoto stuck her tongue out at Toshiro.

Rukia slowly got up. Her blue flower pattern shined in the sunlight.

"I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going," Matsumoto ask.

Rukia turned her head to her and smiled."I'm just going up the hill."

Toshiro's eyebrows went up with curiosity." Didn't Byakuya say for us to watch you. If he finds out that you're somewhere by yourself then he'll punish you along with me and Rangiku."

Rukia gave him a glare."Then don't tell him."

"Well, if Byakuya asks, we'll rat you out."

"You wouldn't dare," Rukia said

Toshiro smirked. "Watch me."

Rukia groaned and walk off through the town toward the hill in the distance. As she was walking a melody caught her attention making her stop with a swift turn. The breeze blew in making her hair flow with the wind. She looked up to the sky with grace. Suddenly, her body moved by herself. Protesting she tried to regain her conscious but the melody seemed to control her body, making it's way up the hill.

"What the hell is happening to me?"

Once reaching the top she regained consciousness of herself feeling confused about what just had happened. Rukia looked out into the horizon with a her eyes as calm as a unmoving lake. A gust of wind came in making her hair go back exposing her face and her sparkling purple eyes. Smiling she sang a little tune:
