The truth, the fault and the lies? What really happened between Ichigo and Rukia as there friendship continues to drift away and their hearts torn apart.

It's always hard to remember where you put certain things- your wallet, you car keys, and even your sunglasses- but no one ever talks about how much effort is needed to truly forget something. In some cases it's not hard at all, but when what you want to forget is eating you up from the inside out, it becomes a burden; one you don't want to share. Rukia wants to forget about her mission; she wants to forget about the reason she was missing from their lives for too long, but it won't let her. He won't let her. Now, back in the world she has come to adore, she finds she doesn't have long to forget what she knows, and remember what she has forgotten.

(An alternate ending to the bleach manga.) Following the years after the thousand blood war, once again peace returned. But is this 'future' really what everyone expected? Everyone is happy. Orihime married her high school crush Ichigo Kurosaki; he runs his father clinic and they settled down and started a family. Rukia married her childhood friend Renji Abarai and had a child as well, not to mention she is the new Captain of her squad divison. Uryu became a doctor taking his fathers place at the Ishida hospital. And Chad became a star boxer known through all of Japan and Mexico. But as for Ichigo, for some odd reason, his time feels like it stopped. He feels empty inside. As if time has rippled at one point in his life; a moment that would change his future. Authors note: This is entirely non-canon story and yes it revolves around Ichigo and Rukia in a romantic relationship. I entirely respect Tite Kubo and his amazing work. I do not intend to offend readers, I respect all opinions. As for the ending of bleach I believe so in my opinion was left off too rushed and with mutiple questions unanswered, so by all means I decided to step up and write a deserving ending of my own. It may not be perfect but it was fun to write. All canon characters (main characters of original story) belong to the owner and author Tite Kubo. All names and characters do not belong to me, except for the completely original characters I create.

Ichiruki fanfiction... And fluff. Rukia starts feeling weird every time Orihime is with Ichigo, which is a lot, and has know idea why. Everyone talks about this thing called 'Valentines Day' and with annoying paper hearts waiting for her at her desk everyday, just helps her frustration grow. (Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach)

After regaining his Soul Reaper powers, Ichigo Kurosaki has re-assumed his position as substitute Soul Reaper. As a result, he can now see and spend more time with Rukia again, a lieutenant of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. Along the lines, Ichigo finds that his feelings for the raven-haired Soul Reaper are reaching beyond friendship. However, things take an unexpected turn. When Ichigo and Rukia are sent on a mission to investigate a strange spiritual pressure that appeared, two strange newcomers arrive on the scene, claiming that they know all about what's going on. The simple recon mission soon turns into a matter of life and death, the determining factor of impending chaos.
