Rukia's True Past (Bleach)

Welcome Back

"Ichigo, Rukia!"

Yuzu and Karin were just watching TV when both Ichigo and Rukia came in greeted them with a bear hug. Isshin decided to welcome Ichigo by hurtling forward full force with his elbow folded out ready to jab him. Luckily, Ichigo stopped him by planting his fist into Isshin's face sending him backwards.

"What the hell was that for!"

Isshin rubbed the top of his forehead. "This is how my own son greets his father after not seeing him for a long time."

Ichigo's eyebrow's cringed with annoyance. "You were the one that decided to hurtle at me."

"Wow, we're already back and you guys just started to wrestle each other down. Things seem to haven't changed at all," Rukia said with a chuckle.

Karin sighed and crossed both of her arms then turned to Rukia with a smile . "Nice to see you again. How have you been doing."

Rukia return the smile back, "I'm good. It's nice to see you too. I see that Isshin is still energetic as ever."

"Karin help set up the table!" Yuzu asked from the kitchen.

Karin walked her way to the counter and gather all the dishes and other utensils. Seeing that Ichigo and Isshin were still trampling on each other Rukia gone upstairs into Ichigo's room with Kon sitting on her shoulder. Right when they reached the front door Kon jumped off onto the ground and dusted himself off while looking around.

"This room looks the same!" Kon said

Rukia walked in and shrugged. "We left in a hurry. Ichigo probably didn't think twice about tidying it up when we gone to the Soul Society."

"What about my room?"

Rukia turned around to see ichigo standing in the doorway. Kon made his way onto the bed and stretched out his arms.

"It's good to be home."

Ichigo who was not pleased at the fact Kon on his bed, grabbed him by the head and threw him in the closet that was open.

"HEY! What was that for!" Kon said.

Once on the bed Ichigo slipped off his shoes and cringed his eyebrows together with a deep groan coming out of his mouth. "And who said you could just relax on the furniture that I sleep on?"

"You guys, I swear," Rukia said with a sigh. She glared outside the window and saw the dark brown cat that she seen back on the hills.

With shock she gasped and walked a step backward. Ichigo looked at her, confused on what she was reacting to. He looked at the direction that she was facing but saw nothing.

"Ummm. You ok, Rukia?" he asked

She turned around to face him and smiled. "No, nothing's wrong."

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll go patrol the area. I just need to clear my mind a little bit," Rukia said with a nod then got out of her gigai. Opening the window she scanned her way outside seeing if the cat was still there. She was interrupted by Kon's winning.

"WA, I wana go with Ne-san! Ne-san, don't leave me here with Carrot Top"

Ichigo grabbed Kon by the ear. "Carrot Top! Ya Little..."

Rukia gently hit Ichigo on the shoulder without hesitation. "Oi, can you put him down and lower your voice. You sisters might hear thinking that your talking to yourself again."

Disappointed Ichigo let go of Kon making him land on the floor. Kon rubbed his lower back in pain and then jumped on to Rukia's shoulder. "Ok, let's go, Ne-san!"

With a role of an eye Rukia went out into the night promising Ichigo that it wouldn't take long and she would be back in soon. Ichigo would meet up with her later after dinner.
