Rukia Kuchiki - Bleach - Showcase

In the quiet aftermath of war, a rainy night in Karakura Town finally pushes Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki to confront years of unspoken feelings, culminating in a passionate, soul-baring encounter that redefines their bond forever.

The rain was a persistent whisper against the window of Ichigo Kurosaki’s bedroom, a soft, gray curtain that blurred the familiar sights of Karakura Town into a watercolor painting. For Rukia Kuchiki, the sound was a strange comfort, a gentle rhythm that seemed to slow the frantic pace her heart had adopted ever since she’d arrived. Peace was a foreign concept, a garment that fit awkwardly after so many years of wearing the stiff, formal uniform of war.
