Promise | Ichiruki One Shot

Promise

(I haven't watch all the episodes and series of Bleach and I'm currently watching Season 3, so don't question me why there's some mistakes or something)

~Rukia's Pov~

I open my eyes and look deeply into the full moon, as I was sitting atop of a building. It's beautiful. Today is the day where Nii-sama decides to send me to the human world to exterminate Hollows, as he said I need to hone my skills ever since I have gotten myself into a fight with Renji, my childhood and best friend, and I sadly lost.

I had no one else with me besides Renji and Nii-sama, as Renji's friends had passed away long ago before we became a Shinigami, and our friendship was later strained after I was adopted into the Kuchiki family, mainly because Nii-sama, Byakuya, said that I had the same resemblance as his deceased wife, Hisana.

Plus, the only people I have right now is Nii-sama, and my friendship with Renji was straining so much after I got adopted. I still missed Kaien-dono after my Zanpakuto stab him in the center of his chest, saying he was sorry for bringing me along with him and thanked me for saving his heart, despite I was the one who killed him, my Sensei and friend who was on my side.

And that was the last time I cried. I had no tears on my eyes anymore. No friends other than Renji. No family other than Byakuya-niisama.

Suddenly, I heard my Denreishinki ringed, checking it and shows me a location of where a Hollow had recently appear. I got up and unsheath my Zanpakuto, running and jumping off to the direction where the Hollow resides.

I got there and immediately sliced his head in half, purifying it and disappears without any trace. I put back my Zanpakuto back into its sheath, and sighed softly. And remember my friendship with Renji. I missed that stupid smile and attitude of his.

"Excuse me, Miss!"

I turn around and saw a little boy behind me, he had orange spiky hair, innocent brown eyes, and wearing a black shirt, black short and white sneakers. I thought he was talking to someone else than me, but...

"Yeah, the one with black hair. Um, have you seen a girl with brown hair? She's my little sister and me and my Dad is worrying sick about her, running off to buy groceries!"

I was so surprised that this human can see me in my Shinigami form. It must be that this boy has that much spiritual energy to see spiritual beings like Shinigami, Hollows, Pluses.

"Sorry, young one. I haven't seen your sister."

"Too bad. Oh, well. Thanks anyway."

Until, I turn around and heard a Hollow scream, and I could also heard another scream from a girl, as my Denreishinki ringed, and the boy runs pass me, surprising me. He's not really going to confront the Hollow, is he?!

"YUZU!!"

Fool! I cannot believe this weak child would run off at the Hollow with Zanpakuto or anything! I cursed loudly under my breath, unsheathing my Zanpakuto and dashed off towards the boy. If he dies in front of me, I won't forgive myself and shall no longer be called as Death God anymore.

"Onii-chan! Help!"

"Yuzu, hang on!"

"Young man, stop! You're going to get yourself killed!"

When we arrived, I saw the Hollow in front of my view, his hand was grasping onto the brown hair, which I think she's called Yuzu. I watch in horror as the boy runs toward the Hollow with a raging scream, and I reached my hand out for the defenseless boy.

"Stop!"

"Let go of my sister, you bastard!"

Without any hesitation, I used Shunpo to get in front of him, slicing off the Hollow's hand off that holding the girl with Zanpakuto, and he let out another roar, the girl falls into unconscious and the boy picked her up, looking relief and scared.
