Club life wasn't always easy. In fact at times it was almost cruel the things people had to go through. Especially if you where a stripper or a pole dancer.
Ichigo remembered when there was a time when he thought dancing for money was horrible. Well, he still thought it was horrible some nights. Like when some of his more stalk-ish admirers came to the show. Sadly Ichigo wasn't able to change clubs and still had to dance behind the cage, along with Shiro and Renji. The money was good so they didn't complain.
Shiro was Ichigo's twin brother while Renji was their best friend. They had known each other since they were six. They had all first met when Shiro and Ichigo's mother and they got into a car accident. It had been raining that day and a driver of a semi-truck hadn't seen them causing the accident. Later on their mother died in the hospital leaving her husband and four children behind.
Ichigo and Shiro had taken it the hardest since they had been in the car with her. The first few weeks at the hospital where bad. Both boys had their legs broken alone with a couple ribs and arm each. Isshin their father, who was a doctor, and their sisters had come every day to the hospital until Ichigo and Shiro had yelled at them. After that the girls didn't come as often. The doctor, Unahana had said that it was only normal for the boys to alienate themselves' from others.
A month after the accident, a boy with red hair had been admitted into the twin's room. At first there was a lot of cursing and yelling but eventually they managed to all get along and soon after became friends. When they left the hospital, Ichigo and Shiro had gotten over their initial shock and anger of their mother's death. Alone with the acceptance of the fact, the boys had gained a friend who they went to school with and slept over at said friends house.
Now, years later, all three boys where still best friends, who all worked at the same place. They where inseparable.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Be-.
Slamming his fist down on the snooze button on his alarm clock, Renji rolled over on to his back not wanting to face the day just yet. He would have gone back to sleep too if his phone hadn't started to ring. Renji grumbled, throwing the covers over his head hopping the noise would stop and soon, he was tired. When his phone finally went quite, Renji breathed out the breath he'd been keeping in. He was almost asleep when the phone went off again. Groaning Renji got out of bed and picked up his cell.
"E'lo?" he said in a sleepy voice.
"Renji? It's like, what? 12 o'clock and your still in bed?" Rukia said, disappointment in her voice.
"Well yah. Just because you get up at 8 doesn't mean I have to." He said, annoyed.
"sigh.... Well you're up now so go wake up the Twins too. I'm coming over in an hour and you all better be awake and moving by the time I get there." Click.
"Bitch!!" yelled Renji closing his phone. "Aww man...Now I have to get up?!" and wake the Twins up, he thought. Great.
Heaving a sigh, Renji pulled on a pair of jeans, not bothering to do them up, and walked out of his room. After going to the bathroom he walked up to his roommate's door knocking lightly, hoping they were already up. No such luck. "Ok then." He said opening the door.
Within the dark room was a desk, closet, and dresser as well as a king sized bed and on said bed where the Twins Ichigo and Shiro. Renji smiled as he looked at the two both snuggled into each other. Renji's smile turned into a smirk as he looked at the two HUGE teddy bears on the bed with them. Shaking his head Renji approached the bed, sitting on the corner.
"Ichigo, Shiro? Time to wake up." Renji said softly. A grumbled response was all he got. Smirking he moved closer to the two.
"If you don't get up I'm not gonna buy any chocolate milk for a month." He threatened. This brought a response. Abruptly both bodies sat up and two pairs of eyes fixed Renji with a glare. Laughing Renji stood up, happy his little threat had worked. He grinned at the two pissed looking twins. Both huffed and then lay back down, both closing their eyes.
"Hay! You can't go back to bed!" Renji yelled but before he could say anything else, he was pulled down onto the bed between the two bodies. Two arms, each belonging to a different person where thrown over Renji's tattooed chest.
"Shut up and let us sleep Ren." Said a sleepy Ichigo, snuggling closer.
"Yah. We're tired." Agreed an equally tired Shiro. Renji smiled at the two before sighing and sitting back up.
"You have to get up. Rukia's gonna be here in an hour and I don't want to be on the other end of her anger when she see's you two are still in bed." He said as he crawled away from the two, both protesting. "Now ." he said. "Get up."
"No." Said the Twins, stubbornly.
"Yes."
"No"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"I said get up and I mean it!" he yelled.
"Nothin' you do will get us outa this bed, pineapple!" yelled a slightly more awake Shiro.
"Oh really?" said Renji with an evil grin.
Before either twin could do anything, Renji grabbed a foot each and pulled. Both twins yelped as they landed on the hard floor.
"Now that you're up, go have a shower and put on some clothes. I'll go make some breakfast." Renji said walking out. "And don't even think about going back to bed." He threw over his shoulder. Walking into the kitchen, he pulled out the bread as well as some eggs. As he whipped the eggs he heard the shower turn on. Smiling he popped the toast into the toaster. A few minutes later, Ichigo and Shiro walked in both fully clothed and drying their hair.
While Shiro and Ichigo where twins they looked different making it easier to tell them apart. While they were both 5'4, lean, had some muscle on them and where insanely attractive, they looked different in their coloring. Ichigo's hair was orange and spiked, his eyes where a tea brown with his eyebrows in a per-ma frown. His skin was what Renji and Shiro called sun-kissed. Probably not a good description but oh well. Shiro on the other hand was an Albino. The only thing that made him different was his eyes. His irises were golden but where you would normally have white Shiro had black. Neither he nor Ichigo knew why.
Despite how different Shiro and Ichigo looked in color, they where defiantly twins. Both liked chocolate, eggs, frozen fruit, cucumbers, roses, etc. The list went on and on. Renji chuckled under his breath as he put butter on their toast. After they had finished their breakfast, Shiro and Ichigo started doing the dishes when somebody knocked at the door.
"Renji!! Get the door!!" Yelled Ichigo.
"Sure, sure." He said. Opening the door.
"Hi Renji! Are Ichigo and Shiro up yet?" asked Rukia.
"Yah. Their washed and dressed and doing the dishes." Renji said, as they walked into the kitchen.
"Rukia~! Said an exited Shiro and Ichigo. Both drying their hands before rushing to Rukia and enveloping her in a hug. To Shiro and Ichigo, Rukia was like a sister to them. Renji himself was the big brother they never had. Both Twins loved their Big Brother and Sister, and would do anything they asked. Within reason of course.
"HAHA!!! I'm glad to see you guys too!!!" Rukia said returning the hug. "Now, since you're all up I have some bad news." Three pairs of eyes looked at her.
"Bad news." They said in unison. Not liking the tone Rukia had used.
Un- tangling herself from the Twins, she grabbed her purse, pulling out three envelops each with a name written on it. She handed each of them an envelope. Ichigo, Shiro and Renji looked at each other before opening their envelopes gingerly. Inside each one was a cheque and a pink piece of paper. They were fired.
"What!!!" Yelled the three, angry that their boss would fire them. They made good money for the club.
"Why are we fired?" asked Shiro outraged.
"Well if it makes you feel any better, I was fired as well. I don't know why fully but I think someone said something to the police about what happens in the club. I mean, where not the cleanest nor the safest. You three dance behind a cage for peats sakes!!" Rukia said, sitting down on the corner of a couch.
Silence consumed the apartment, no one breaking it. Being fired was both a good thing and a bad thing. Now they didn't have to dance in a place where you could easily be raped, but on the other hand they now had to look for a new job. Shit.
"Well, what do we do now?" asked Renji.
Rukia smirked. "What we do next is move to a town called Karakura, where we go for an interview at a local club. A local respected club, that pays twice what we usually make. Then we get an apartment there. Live keeps on going." She smiled at their shocked expressions.
"So, how did you come up with this plan?" Renji asked.
"I called in a favour from a friend and they hooked us up with a couple jobs." Rukia said happy with herself.
"When do we leave?" Ichigo asked.
"Today!"
WHAT!!
