kuroixtaiyo:

He didn’t really mean to, but Ichigo couldn’t contain the snort that left him. 

“You– You really got chased off by a store owner for being a creep?” he tried to stifle his laughter, he did, but the imagery of Rukia watching tv on the street until she got shooed away was just…too much. Ichigo supposed she did have a bit of a point, people were always looking for new ways to improve just about anything they could. “Do we move too fast for you?” He just couldn’t resist the urge to snark.

It did make him wonder if Shinigami didn’t try and do the same thing – did they just leave things as they were? Considering their attire and weapon of choice, Ichigo could only assume they lived in a society that was stuck somewhere in a past time. 

A reason she couldn’t go turn to them for help?

“…So, this isn’t something that happens, like…at all, huh?”

The way she spoke about it here, it sounded serious. Of course, it was serious to some degree that Ichigo understood; her powers were gone at the moment, and he was still just a human fighting against soul-eating monsters. But there was a certain tone lingering just under the surface here that set him on edge, something he knew Rukia wasn’t telling him.

“Y-yes.” Rukia admitted somewhat reluctantly, refusing to spot errors in her course of action as she averted her gaze — to think that she, the member of the Kuchiki family, was publicly humiliated in such a manner! Needless to say, the fact that Ichigo found it incredibly amusing did not help her in the slightest either. “Unlike human beings, the likes of me have little to no time for amusement and entertaining activities and there is simply no need for most of these... devices. Now, do not get me wrong, our technologies are well-developed, but normally, only the authorities and our finest scientists have access to them. They serve a different purpose, obviously.” 

“But I have to admit...” The brunette added after a short pause as she had finally regained her composure. “For beings with such ridiculously short lifespans, you sure have made remarkable progress.”

Of course she couldn’t ask for help. With no chance to go back to the Soul Society, she was left in this world in this joke of a body with little to no options to choose from, much to her frustration.

“You see, such things do not normally happen, Ichigo. I wasn’t supposed to give you these powers. Not even a bit. That Hollow was nowhere near as strong as it seemed to be: you must have noticed that, for you killed it easily despite the lack of combat experience. I made a mistake and paid for it. I wasn’t firm on my very own feet, unable to slay such a weak monster, and other Shinigami wouldn’t get there just in time to save your family. I couldn’t just sit there and watch you die simply because I failed on an epic scale. I lost my powers, as well as my ability to return to the Soul Society or, at the very least, contact the authorities. I cannot say I deal with this all by myself, but the Society is not of much help here and I highly doubt they will approve of it when they find out. And... I’m sorry I’ve gotten you into this.”

HEADCANON. Despite being a spirit herself, Rukia is easily entertained by spooky stories and shows and/or videos about ghosts and paranormal things. It doesn’t matter if the story is fake or real as long as it is fun and entertaining. However, she easily believes foreign stories that are not related to her culture and Soul Society.

HEADCANON. Rukia loves cute things. It’s a fact. And she simply cannot ignore the claw machines in the arcades, which, in her opinion, count as one of the most interesting inventions ever created by the humanity. As a result, she has a small yet remarkable collection of stuffed animals, mostly bunnies and teddy bears, which she keeps in Ichigo’s closed due to lack of any other options.

My cat was put to sleep a couple of days ago and everything feels weird and wrong. I’m trying to find strength in my hobbies, such as video games and art, and I manage to stay more or less adequate despite having occasional breakdowns, but I don’t know when I will be ready to write. Perhaps, I should try to get back to roleplaying little by little just so that I can keep myself busy, but please, guys, be patient.

Here is one more update. Since my last update, according to which things were getting better, my cat has only gotten worse and now her chances are slim and practically non-existent, so the doctors said that, while they can check her one more time, we should be ready to let her go. Our cat, Toffee, is only 4 years old, and she’s become a very important family member, so the very idea of losing her is impossible to bear. As a result, I would like to remain inactive regardless of the outcome because this is not just a cat, she is a friend, a family member, a loving and kind creature that did absolutely nothing wrong and I cannot believe that a picture folder on my iPad might soon become the only proof that she was a part of my life. I’m shocked. I’m scared. And I don’t feel like roleplaying anytime soon. I am sorry, guys.

HEADCANON. Rukia adores the Animal Crossing series for its simplicity and the insane amount of cute villagers. Her favorite characters are Bunnie and Chrissy, as well as the peppy type in general, and she tends to reply to the villagers’ lines out loud.

kuroixtaiyo:

Ichigo would have kept up his snark, but frankly, he was just a little thrown off by the fact that Shinigami had movies.

“You watch movies, but you don’t know how to poke a straw through a juice box?” he questioned, slightly exasperated by what Rukia knew about this world and what she didn’t. 

Damn, she’s confusing…

“Fine, whatever – your acting skills are enough to get some people to buy your story, I’ll admit that.” Didn’t mean those certain people weren’t idiots, but they also didn’t know Rukia like he did. She looked like a normal girl to them, even if she was weird.

Scowling, Ichigo went silent as he half attempted to think of a better plan. As far as being around him in case of a Hollow, it made sense for Rukia to at least be seen and known by his friends and others – therefor making it a simple step that she would, also, be at his school to pass off as a friend his age. It was annoying to admit, but that made sense.

Sleeping in his closet still didn’t, though.

“But don’t you Shinigami have some sort of…fail safe in case of a situation like this? Seems pretty stupid to not have someplace you can stay if you get stranded here,” he pressed, not entirely wanting to admit she had him on that. Ichigo couldn’t think of anything else she possibly could have done.

So these motion pictures are called movies. Got it.

“Well, I spent a few hours in front of that... tee-vee store before its owner came out and told me I was creeping people out for some unexplained reason. So excuse me if my knowledge is somewhat limited, I didn’t have that much time on my hands. It is not my fault that you humans keep inventing weird devices and methods to eat and drink.”

His other question, however, left Rukia speechless. Despite being stuck in a weak human body, she was in no position to blame him — after all, it was her idea to give Ichigo Shinigami powers (even though she did not expect him to absorb all of it at once), and, of all people who could possibly replace her, Ichigo was probably the best candidate. She knew she was breaking the rules of the Soul Society by allowing a human being to become a Shinigami, even for a limited period of time. Long story short, she did not belong here, and it was becoming clearer with each passing day, but she had no other choice but to be patient and wait.

“... there is a reason why I cannot turn to authorities for help, otherwise I wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble, don’t you think? Not even the strongest Shinigami of the Soul Society could foresee that.”

kuroixtaiyo:

Whoa, wait – was she really going to give him a straight answer, just like that?

Of course not, that would be too damn easy…

“Why you–! You’ve got way too much attitude for someone your size,” Ichigo fumed, irritated that Rukia seemed intent on treating him like a child. She was barely taller than his sisters, but she was technically older than him, and she certainly spoke like it when she wanted to.

“Surprised how? I assumed you were a robber when you first came into my room that night! But, considering how you were talkin’ to yourself then, I doubt you’d be very good at sneaking around people’s houses anyway!”

Not like she’d done just that before he’d found out she’d been stowing away in his closet.

Turning his head away, Ichigo huffed. “It’s not like I’d rat you out, or anything. I was just asking a damn question.” He knew Rukia well enough to know that she wouldn’t stoop to doing something so low as stealing. 

“…Your acting is about as good as your drawings, though. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised you have to use your memory replacement thing sometimes, outside of passing off Hollow activity as something else.”

“How DARE you, I’ve learned from the best of the best by watching the finest motion pictures ever known to humanity! I’ve done proper research and your classmates do not suspect a thing, it is a fact which serves as the evidence of my skills.”

Rukia ended her short speech with an annoyed huff as she crossed her arms in front of her body. Oh, she’d look at him if he were in her shoes, it would be quite a sight to behold, she was sure of it. The brunette fell for his cheap insults surprisingly easily, especially for a Shinigami and a member of the noble family and, despite being fully aware of how little attention she should have paid to his words, she could not help but fight back every single time, which only annoyed her even more.

“Keep in mind that I was not planning on staying in the world of the living for so long, I had to think fast and do something. My plan was as flawless as it could possibly be under given circumstances. If you happen to have better ideas on your mind, please, be my guest and elighten me instead of yelling.”

“You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you…Where the hell did you get the money for school text books and uniforms?”

He almost couldn’t believe the thought hadn’t popped into his head before, but then Ichigo was swiftly reminded of the weirdness that was his life, and the existence-threatening distractions that seemed to crop up every other day. School was rarely on his mind – outside of scrambling to pass tests in the rare, calm hours of his life. Even with Rukia as a constant presence at school, Ichigo simply never thought to question the fact that she had a uniform and everything else she needed the very next day after they first met.

That stuff wasn’t cheap, after all, and there’s no way she has a job.

“I get somehow convincing the school that you’re normal, and your family moved here.” The words normal and family being sarcastically stressed. “But you still need money to keep up all that shit, right? How do you pull that off?”

He was curious, but would genuinely laugh his ass off if his first assumption of her being a robber was, in some way, correct.

“…You haven’t been robbing people and replacing their memories…have you?”

Were they not alone, Rukia would probably put on a silly smile and feign ignorance or try to pass it off as a silly joke. But without the need to pretend, the brunette stared at Ichigo somewhat absent-mindedly, her eyes widened, giving off the impression that she was, indeed, hiding something, for she looked like a child that got caught doing mischief. Quite frankly, she was hoping that this subject would never come to the young man’s mind in the first place so that she wouldn’t have to explain the situation to him. If the Soul Society’s authorities found out that she had been exploiting her devices and talents this whole time, she would get in trouble for sure.

“Well, you see...”

“... such things should be of no concern to you in the first place.”

A weak excuse which even she did not believe. Come on, Rukia, you can do better than that and you know it better than anybody else. And something was telling her Ichigo was not going to fall for that either.

“Alright, alright. Well, I might have used the memory replacement device... here and there. But I’m surprised at you, Ichigo, how dare you compare me to thieves, I quit... I would never... ugh, who are you to judge, sometimes my acting skills simply were not enough! No, I haven’t been robbing people, if that’s what bothers you. But don’t you even dare try to ruin my image of a poor young girl who has almost no one to turn to.”
