Third person POV:
Ichigo and Rukia were walking down the side walk from another exhausting day at school. They were both quiet but it wasn't awkward. They were both just off in their own thoughts.
'It was you.' Those words kept on running through Ichigo's head. He still hadn't quite figured out what Rukia meant yesterday.
The main thing that came to his mind would be that he was what she wanted.
I'm such an idiot. It can't be that, Ichigo thought to himself.
"Ichigo!" Rukia yelled.
"What!" Ichigo exclaimed. He looked down at the small shingami with a scowl.
"Baka! I've called your name like five times!" she exclaimed.
Ichigo sighed. "Sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention."
"There's a hollow near by. We have to go!" Rukia exclaimed.
They both transformed into their soul reapper form and began to run twoards the strong spiritual pressure.
"Gestuga Tensho!" Ichigo exclaimed as he jumped towards the hollow.
"Ichigo stop! The hollow deflects your attacks!" Rukia yelled.
She ran as fast as she could towards Ichigo but it was too late. His attack had been released and now coming back at them.
Ichigo shunpoed and dodged the attack. Rukias eyes widened as the red orb came flying twoards her. She flash stepped and attempted to avoid getting hurt but she did it too late.
"Agh!" Rukia grunted as she grabbed her arm. It had a gash were blood was seeping out like water.
"Rukia! Are you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I-I'm fine. Watch out Ichigo you can't attack this one directly!" Rukia exclaimed.
Ichigo shot her a thumbs up before focusing back on his battle. He began to flash step around the hollow in circles.
"Aaargh!" the hollow growled.
"Ichigo attack!" Rukia exclaimed.
"Getsuga tensho!" Ichigo exclaimed. He swung his zankpakuto twoards the hollow and slashed it's mask in half.
Ichigo joined Rukia as they both watched the hollow disintegrate.
Rukia winced as she continued to hold her bleeding arm. Ichigo noticed and turned to face her.
"We need to get you to Orihime's so she can heal you," Ichigo said. He took a look at Rukia's arm and saw the dark maroon liquid seeping out through the gash.
"Ichigo, I'm fine," Rukia replied.
"You're bleeding. We need Orihime to heal you," Ichigo insisted.
"I said I'm fine. Its just a small scratch. I'll be better by the morning."
"We have to go to Orihime Rukia. You can bleed out and that won't do you any good."
