"Rukia!" Ichigo called out to her as he was running to catch up to her. "Ichigo….." Rukia stared in puzzlement "What's wrong?". Ichigo grabbed her wrist and said "Come on, we need to talk". Rukia still had a blank stare "Talk about what? Ichigo? What's happening?". They arrived at Ichigo's house, and Ichigo plopped Rukia on his bed " Ok, I need to know what did Toshiro do this morning?". Ichigo could tell she was still tense "What do you mean? He didn't do anything wrong…." her voice trailed off.
"Oh, don't give me that! I heard that something did happen from Renji, so don't even think about hiding it" Ichigo frowned. Rukia was getting really uncomfortable with this. Sure Captain Hitsugaya acted strangely, but that's not the reason to go berserk on him. Maybe he was in a good mood this morning, or maybe he was in a mood for talking, that's all there is to it. "Hmmmmm….Talking behind my back isn't very nice Kurosaki" Rukia and Ichigo turned around surprised. Toshiro was leaning on the window's side smirking.
"Toshiro….!" Ichigo murmured "What are you doing here?". Toshiro sighed and jumped into Ichigo's room past his desk. He landed onto his bed next to Rukia "I figured you would question Rukia about what happened this morning, so I came to check out what Rukia might have said" He started gently stroking her hair "Thus I came to pick up Rukia-san" Toshiro glanced over at Rukia and chuckled. "What is the meaning of this Toshiro!? What's with the sudden interest in Rukia!?" Ichigo was getting angry at his actions. "That's none of your business Kurosaki" Toshiro smiled calmly.
"Now shall we take our leave Rukia-san?" he was still stroking her hair. "U-um m-may I a-ask where we are g-going?" Rukia turned away to hide her blushing face. "I'll tell you later if you come with me" Toshiro arose from the bed and offered his hand. Rukia just stared at him. Now things may have gone a bit too far; Toshiro was acting too strange. Maybe she should let him know about her uncomfortable feelings towards him.
Rukia took a deep breath and placed her palm in his "We'll be back no later than tomorrow Kurosaki". Ichigo's jaw dropped "No later than tomorrow my ass!!!" he arose from his chair letting fly in the closet. "What hell!? You're not planning on sleeping with her are you!?" Ichigo's hands transformed into fists. "Be careful where you throw your furniture Kurosaki; Isshin might be angry later" he smirked "Wait a minute Captain Hitsugaya" Rukia broke in the interesting conversation "No later than tomorrow? What e-exactly will w-we b-be doing all t-that time?" she was still blushing.
Toshiro placed his index finger on her lips "That's for you to find out" he smirked. "Toshiroooooooooooo!!!! Cut it out!!! Where are you taking her, and what are you doing to her!?" Ichigo's face was steaming with anger. "Oh? Since when did you start concerning yourself with Rukia? Eh? Kurosaki?". Ichigo turned away to hide his embarrassment "I'm just worried about my friend, is that such a crime?". Toshiro just laughed "You don't need to worry, it's not like I'll do anything suspicious to her" he was still showing the obvious. Rukia's eyes were wide "Captain……".
