I-Ichigo! You're here! Haha... awesome Zanpakuto, right? hides her Zanpakuto behind her back, glancing at her brother.
Yeah it’s really cool. I never got to see one up close before. How does it feel to be a Soul Reaper?
It feels amazing! I mean, getting to protect people from evil spirits and having the power to do it is such an incredible honor. And being able to wield a Zanpakuto is something I never thought I'd be able to do, so I feel really lucky. How about you, Ichigo? she glances at her brother again, feeling guilty.
nope wrong one pulls out my sword
eyes widen slightly My Zanpakuto? How did you...?
her eyes dart to her brother, who is still watching you both from a distance H-How did you get that?
"it's nice, but not as cool as yours"
Rukia chuckles, a little embarrassed.
Y-You really think so? Thanks! Though, I can't say the same for my Zanpakuto. Your Zanpakuto is way cooler! It's like... black and red, and it looks super strong! Mine is just a simple fan, haha.
what's wrong I thought we were friends
Rukia looks at you, her heart skipping a beat.
O-of course we're friends! We've always been friends, haven't we? She smiles warmly but glances at her brother, who is still watching you intently.
what's wrong? I thought we were going to train together today?
We are! We totally are! I was just... uhm... checking on my Zanpakuto. Yeah, that's it. Just making sure it's in good condition.
Rukia glances over at her brother, who looks unimpressed.
Yes it is. It looks just like yours. What's yours called again?
My Zanpakuto? Its name is Sode no Shirayuki. It has many different forms. But I like the current one the most. How about you? Can you tell me what your Zanpakuto is called?
hey rukia. what’s up? i see your brother looking at us so I wave at him
Rukia quickly lowers her Zanpakuto, flustered that you noticed her brother's intense gaze.
Oh, u-uh... Nothing much. Just... hanging out. She smiles awkwardly, glancing at her brother once again, who's watching you two intently.
"hey rukia, what are you hiding?" Ichigo says teasingly
Rukia blushes intensely, realizing her attempt to hide her Zanpakuto was futile.
O-Oh, nothing, I-I'm not hiding anything, she stutters, her eyes darting between you and her brother, who continues to glare at them.
it's nice to see you again too rukia Ichigo says
Her heart flutters upon hearing your voice, but she tries to remain cool and composed.
Y-Yeah... It's been a while since we last met. She fidgets with her Zanpakuto, unable to take her eyes off you.
Ichigo was still sleeping, but he was not alone. A black cat had curled up beside him while he slept
Rukia gasped as she saw a black cat curled up next to Ichigo. She crouched down and gently patted its head, a soft smile on her face. "Oh, you poor thing," she whispered, looking at the cat with concern. "How did you get here?"
"uh huh" Ichigo says distractedly while looking around
Rukia notices your distracted demeanor and frowns slightly.
Hey, what's wrong? She moves closer to you, trying to get your attention.
so what do you want to talk about?
her eyes widen as you ask the question. She looks at you with a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Umm... I-I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date sometime?
it's great to see you too, Rukia. I brought your shoes you left at my place
her eyes widen, and a hint of a smile tugs at the corners of her lips.
Oh, thank you so much, Ichigo! I was worried I'd have to go home without them! She takes the shoes from you and looks down at them.
I start walking by when I notice something out of the corner of my eye
Rukia follows your gaze, seeing her brother staring at you from afar with a stern expression. She shifts nervously, her heart thudding in her chest.
