Rukia Kuchiki lifted her head from her pillow and stretched in Kurosaki Ichigo's closet when she felt something soft and plush on her stomach. She lifted her blanket and looked at the large bump under her shirt and saw it move as if it were breathing. Rukia let out a low growl and screamed
"KO-" Ichigo's hand came down hard on her mouth cutting off her ear splitting scream
"What the hell Rukia its 3 in the morning" she glanced at his bedside clock
"I'm sorry Ichigo but it's just Kon-"
She squealed again as Kon slipped below the elastic waistband of her pyjama pants. Ichigo let out a low hissing sound as he reached down Rukia's pants and grabbed Kon and threw him against the wall.
Kon yelled out "nee-saaan"
and Ichigo just stomped on his head "how dare you, you little dirty disgusting son of a bi-"
as Ichigo's foot was about to come down on Kon, Kon said in a relaxed voice
"Hey Ichigo" Ichigo's foot stopped a few inches above Kon's ears
"What the hell do u want Kon"
"you say I'm disgusting" he laid on his side held up on one elbow.
"ya what are you getting at Kon delaying your ass whooping will only make it worse "
"Ichigo look at poor Rukia over there look at how her cheeks shine so red, you know why?"
"fine Kon I will play along why"
"because you shoved your hand down her unmentionables"
Kon started laughing. Ichigo's face turned dark red at the realization at what he had just done and he looked at Rukia. Her face was red, she averted her eyes from Ichigo's she pushed her blankets away and threw her legs over the side of his closet.
"Rukia… I"
"Ichigo" she said finally looking at him "rip his fucking stuffing out"
with that she pulled out her mod soul chappy bunny dispenser and was out of her Gigai body and out the window in mere seconds. Ichigo looked at Kon with pure anger and hatred when he felt the presence of a hollow it was weak and admitted little to none spirit energy.
"Rukia can handle this one. Ever since she got her powers fully back she has wanted to be in the center of all the fights she lives for the thrill. She is one hell of a soul reaper huh Ichigo? Strong powerful and not bad on the.. er eyes I guess that's how you say it in the world of the living where I come from, the Seireitei, we would not use odd sayings much as yours we would simply state to the female that her appearance is acceptable " to himself he mumbled "I will never get you and your world of the living"
Ichigo jumped when he first heard the voice and he slammed his foot down hard on Kon smashing his face into the carpet. He looked at the still and short form of what appeared to be a small boy in his window as he jumped onto Ichigo's bed…
"Toshiro? Damn it has anyone heard of I don't know a door maybe?"
"oh was I not supposed to see that whole event that just happened? Not even a hello or formal greeting? I'm a captain u know "
"Toshi-" Toshiro cut him off
"to you simple substitute soul reaper its captain Hitsugaya though you don't seem to be so normal do you "
"whatever Toshiro I don't really care its three no now 4 in the morning this pervert" Ichigo pushed harder on Kon's soft stuffed body "was in Rukia's pants and Rukia is probably pissed"
"I would be too if I found that in my pants" Toshiro smirked tapping the stuffed animal with his foot.
"and what the hell is up with you where is the stick that is usually up your ass?"
"hmmm you know you people of this world are fascinating hmm I might just stay here if I had more ties to this place but I am getting attached your sist-" Toshiro caught himself and pushed a small hand through his snow white hair
"whoa wait what about my sister?"
"o nothing slip of the tongue Ichi poo oh look here comes Rukia" he said with a huge grin on his face
Rukia flew through the window she was sliding her sword back into its sheath. Her gigai which neither the two men in the room had noticed laid still on the floor Rukia easily fazed back into her body
"Toshiro why hello captain" Rukia formally bowed
"now that was a greeting, Ichigo you could learn a lot from our fare Rukia" Toshiro kissed Rukia's hand
"Toshiro" Rukia started she looked puzzled "are you alright?"
"never better! you know you two would make such a sweet couple"
Toshiro pushed Rukia and Ichigo together holding them there when another figure entered the room through the window It was Toshiro in a soul reapers outfit the Toshiro holding Rukia and Ichigo tried to run out the door when he saw the figure in the room
"you damn mod soul I will fuc-"
Toshiro yelled as he caught the gigai phased into his body and his 'soul candy ' fell out of his mouth
"ugh last time I get a mod soul from the pink haired freak" Toshiro said fixing the color of his golf shirt
Another figure entered the room soon after 2 followed.
"damn" *pant* " you Toshiro I didn't think" *pant* "you could move so fast your just" *pant* "such a little guy"
" what was that Renji? You bastard" Toshiro said anger prominent in his voice
Renji laughed and patted the top of Toshiro's head and grabbed Toshiro's cell phone which alerted him of any hollows near and held it high above Toshiro's head. Renji laughed till the handle of Toshiro's sword slid out of its sheath to hit Renji in the stomach Toshiro just held out his hand and the phone dropped into it
"you are all idiots" Yoruichi stated. she was in cat form.
"you said it" Matsumoto sighed at her captains small triumphant grin uncommon for captain
"o! you whoo captain are you actually smiling?" Matsumoto said bustier than ever
Toshiro's grin left his face quickly replaced with a glare
"oh captain u are gonna get some nasty frown lines on your gigai there fragile so and you're so young I this world"
"Matsumoto" Toshiro growled
"yes my captain" she replied
"shut up!"
Suddenly everyone seemed to be talking at once then they all spied Rukia still leaning onto Ichigo's chest from when Toshiro's mod soul pushed them together .
"are we interrupting something Ichigo? hmmm" Yoruichi said
Yoruichi was laughing, the right side of Renji's face was twitching, Toshiro didn't pay any attention he just looked out the window, Kon was yelling and Matsumoto was saying "aweeee" Rukia stepped back from Ichigo's arms and everyone looked at Ichigo's face trying to figure out his expression.
Ichigo sputtered for a minute pointing to the foot prints on his bed the dirt and leaves on the floor and the cat Matsumoto, Renji, Toshiro and Rukia
"now now Ichi buns" Matsumoto said "it's not human courtesy to point"
Ichigo's face became bright red and look as if he could be steaming Renji held up his fingers and counted down "3…2…1…. Cue Ichigo epic meltdown"
"USE THE DAMN DOOR NEXT TIME!"
Tatsuki and Orihime sit alone in Orihime's apartment. Tatsuki eats from a box of take out she sucks a noodle off her chop sticks.
"but really Orihime I'm telling you he is not right maybe it's something in his head I knocked him onto it enough when we were younger"
"oh Tatsuki nothing is wrong with Ichigo he is just different you know" Orihime said
"ya but I still did kick his butt" Tatsuki said with a triumphant fist held high.
Orihime rolled her eyes and looked at the radio as her favourite song came on 'this light I see' by her favourite singer Paku Romi she started to sing along. She looked out the window at the stars.
"you know Tatsuki I don't care if Ichigo is that different its what's different that's made me fall in love"
Tatsuki choked on her noodles a bit.
"LOVE?" she slapped her fore head "no no I thought it was just a crush you can't be in love with that that strawberry….no offense"
"oh Tatsuki like you have never been in love or at least thought you were"
"nope no even once" Tatsuki stated proudly
"we need to find u a boyfriend don't we" Orihime mumbled stealing one of Tatsuki's noodles. Before singing along with the radio again
"wow he has been going on for 10 minutes now should we stop him or something?" Matsumoto asked Rukia.
"nah seeing him like this is kinda funny" Renji laughed
"and another thing!" Ichigo kept yelling
"DAMNIT Ichigo its 5 in the morning and I have soccor with the guys in 4 hours our lucky dad and Yuzu aren't here or… "
Karin kicked open Ichigo's door while still ranting and froze at the sight of all the people in her brothers room.
"what the hell Ichigo? What are all these soul reapers doing here?"
"wait how does she know about us?" Renji asked
"well she IS Ichigo's sister she can see us too when we are in soul form" Matsumoto said
"wait you were with Toshiro at that soccor game he saved me from that hollow after winning that game with me" Karin said
Everyone turned to look at Toshiro who was hidden behind all the people. He was sitting on the bed looking at the stars he looked at Karin and took her all in. it had been 2 years since they last saw each other. She had grown. her hair was to her stomach and she was taller leaner and had a much more of a feminine look to herself. He body curved in marvellous ways to Toshiro.
"hey kid" Karin whispered to Toshiro
He only smiled a little at the comment. He felt every eye in the room on him and he didn't care he couldn't believe how she had changed. Her hair was loose around her shoulders and fell down her back she had a little makeup smudged under her eye. She wore very short shorts and a tank top. She leaned against the door frame and yawned.
"well I'm not gonna get back to sleep now" she pushed a hand through her hair and walked out the door "gonna go take a shower" she looked back at Toshiro "you should come play soccor with me today it would be cool" she left the room with a wave of her hand
"Tatsuki" Orihime said sitting down on her couch next to her friend
"ya Orihime"
"do you think he, um Ichigo feels the same?"
"I don't know" Orihime laid her head in her friends lap and sighed '' it's that Rukia girl Orihime he just acts different around her kinda like how he did when we were kids before his mom died he was just himself" she smiled "a happy Ichigo"
"ya I know I love how she brings that out of him but I just wish I could"
"she is special huh?"
"in more ways than you will ever know Tatsuki"
Tatsuki asked her friend what she meant but heard soft snoring instead. She smiled and laid her hand on her friends head and drifted off herself
"Toshiro you dog" Renji said punching Toshiro's shoulder
"oh come on Renji like you don't ever get lonely?" Matsumoto said in a sweet voice
"ah er.. I what…." Renji got red
"ok shut up just all of you shut up why are you here?" Ichigo said
"well I go where captain goes of course!" Matsumoto said
"I was told to go with Toshiro that's all" Renji gave Ichigo an irritated look
"there has been a recorded increase of hollows in this area we are here to check and stay as long as we need to" Toshiro said his gaze never leaving the window
Everyone looked at Yoruichi she was licking her paw
"oh me well Kisuke is out of town and I" she stretched "didn't want to go so I thought I would give you a visit" she curled into a ball and looked at Kon "Ichigo what are you doing with Kon there?"
Ichigo looked at his foot and lifted it Kon gasped and looked up at all the people. His eyes were drawn to Matsumoto. As he dove through the air towards Matsumoto, yelling
"glorious buttons"
Matsumoto yelled "kitty sick it!"
"with pleasure" Yoruichi pounced on Kon and they ran out the door and heard a scream and a crash.
"Karin?" Toshio and Ichigo called
They all ran towards the door Toshiro and Ichigo got there first. They saw Karin with a towel wrapped around her body and on her head. Her clothes were strewn around the hall, sock here sock there a pair of shorts were on Kon as he ran for his life down the stairs the cat soon after him, Karin's face was red she looked up and had her bra on her head a thong at her right.
"oooh what is that called Karin it looks fun" Matsumoto said pointing at the thong
"what the hell who even bought you that"
Ichigo said picking up her clothes. And setting them in a pile by her door. Karin stuck out a hand for help up. Toshiro and Ichigo both reached for her hand. Ichigo gave Toshiro a look that said 'what the hell do you think you are doing' Toshiro pulled his hand away and stuffed it in his pocket and walked down the stairs and out the door. Karin sadly watched him go
"what's with him" Renji asked
"oh poor captain he is so unsure" Matsumoto said.
"Toshiro" Karin whispered
Matsumoto looked back at Karin and took her hand
"oh Karin lets have girl time okay?"
Matsumoto dragged Karin to her room Karin gave Ichigo a look that said u are so dead. Ichigo went back into his room and laid on his bed. He closed his window and for the first time noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt he walked to his closet and pulled out a shirt before slipping it on he made Rukia's bed for her and closed the closet. He looked at Renji who was staring at him as he put the shirt on
"what?" Ichigo said as he laid back down
"nothing" Renji said
Renji glanced at Rukia as she walked over to the closet and opened it she laid on her bed and closed her eyes. Renji laid down on the floor and looked at Rukia as she slept soundly Ichigo was watching her too Renji noticed
It had been 2 years also since Renji had seen Rukia and this is how her reaction was? She hadn't said one word to him. Renji let out a low sigh and put his sunglasses on his head so Ichigo couldn't see his eyes deep in thought and looking at Rukia. 'maybe I'm to late to win Rukia damn' Renji thought 'well this trip was a waste of time I never should have asked Toshiro if I could come' he slowly drifted to sleep
"I'm so gonna kill Ichigo" Karin mumbled
Matsumoto smiled at Karin's irritated look
"I think captain may like you"
Karin gasped then turned bright red
" r- really?" Karin's face grew redder
"I've only seen him give one other woman that small smirk he gives you " Matsumoto said in a sad voice she handed Karin a lace black bra from in the dresser and Karin put it on.
"w-who?" Karin didn't know if she even wanted to know
"we called her Momo but she….. er passed away years ago" Matsumoto sighed and thought about Momo how her death was so hard on the captain tho be barely showed it in public.
"how did she die?" Karin asked while her fingers played with the lace of her bra. She sat on her bed wearing only a bra and thong after a long discussion about what they were and why women wore them.
"a battle let's just leave it at that okay" Matsumoto looked at Karin's pained expression "ooooooh! let me do your hair!"
Karin let Matsumoto go to work on her hair. And was quite surprised with the outcome
"hmm Karin put on this shirt and these shorts we are going shopping!"
Karin's eyes grew wide as Matsumoto put her on her back and jumped out the window.
"it's too early no shops are open yet" Karin said when she finally opened her eyes and was on the ground
"well poo" Matsumoto said with a finger on her chin "we will take a walk and have more girl talk till the stores open okay?"
'this is gonna be a long day' Karin thought and walked off next to Matsumoto.
Ichigo laid in bed drifting in and out of sleep occasionally he mostly watched Rukia sleeping she usually closed the closet door so getting to watch her sleep was a bit of a rare occasion. She looked so peaceful she snored ever so lightly. He felt a pang in his chest as he looked at Renji fall asleep watching Rukia sleep.
'when she is done here she will just leave and be done with me and this life' Ichigo thought to himself 'I have grown so attached to her maybe too attached is it wrong for me to have such feelings for her. Am I willing to give up this life this body to be with her forever…. Is she willing to do the same for me?' he shook his head and stood up he walked to Rukia and pulled up her blanket and patted her head 'sleep tight my little raven' he walked out the door and went down stairs to the kitchen Yoruichi laid on Kon still as a cat Kon mouthed the word 'help'
"Kon you had this coming"
Kon whimpered Ichigo just laughed and made himself a bowl of cereal eating and enjoying the show taking place in front of him.
