@moonbladed from here.
As soon as Isshin told her she could come to see him, she was right by his side, for days. Waiting patiently for him to wake up, she was ready to tell him all he had missed, and how she was going to make sure everything was okay,.
Reluctantly, Isshin wouldnât let her take him back to the Gotei 13, knowing he would have better treatment there, she didnât argue with him, and he did the best he could, he was alive after all. For 4 days she watched people come in and out, bearing cards and flowers, all his friends came by, making sure she was alright as well, but she didnât have the heart to leave his side. Renji and Nii-sama even made a visit, but of course leaving her some overdue paperwork to work on well, telling her Ukitake-taicho wasnât doing so well himself.
Rukia kept in mind that Isshin said this morning that there was a chance he could wake soon, and she sat there and watched like a hawk, and went running to Yuzu when he started moving and opening his eyes, Isshin rushed in making sure everything was right.
Close to tears, Rukia went to his side once Isshin left and looked at him. His amber eyes that were once so golden were dull and tired, nothing left in them. Taking his hand into her smaller one, she could barely speak,
âCan you hear me?â
She watched closely for his reaction, watching him as he looked at her like he was searching for something.
And there was nothing but a whisper from him,
âWho are you?â
Her body went limp, the air from her lungs left, and her heart plummeted into her stomach. Her eyes searched his, his spiritual pressure was there, felt the same as it always had, yet something was wrong.
âIchigo, itâs me, Rukia.â
She squeezed his hand, her eyes pooling with tears, she leaned over him a tad closer, even letting her spiritual pressure grow, hoping something might give him a jolt of memory, but she was lost to him.
The damn of tears she fought so hard to keep up, fell down her cheeks.
âIâm Rukia Kuchiki, you know who I am, I know you do.â
