A/N: I made this profile who knows when and I used to write fics a long time ago, during the Inuyasha craze, but I'm really into Bleach at this point in my life and I wanted to try writing something. I would really like if you read and then reviewed it. Rukia and Ichigo don't meet until chapter 2, and then really meet in chapter 3. sorry. it just got drawn and junk. by acccident. but i know i have a lot of room for improvement so let me know how i can improve. and let me know if its even worth posting another chapter before i get too carried away with my imagination.
"Goddammit!" the girl yelled from her dorm room. She was getting sick of dorm life. You can hear everybody's business through the thin walls. Her ridiculous neighbor had the bizarre man in her room again. All she could hear was the moaning and groaning, and squeaking of the damn bed. She was going to have to tell her about going to his dorm or something. They can't be doing all that noise making next to her. She wasn't going to let that happen.
Are you freakin' serious, she thought. They had been going at it for TWO hours! What kind of people are they! I'll get revenge against you Yoruichi, I don't know how or when but I will!
Finally, Yoruichi's room fell silent. Rukia got up and fixed the hem of her dress and smoothed out all the lace. She did a quick twirl because it was her favorite lace sundress. She adjusted the straps real quick and ran to door, opened it and leaned against the wall between hers and Yoruichi's room. She crossed her ankles and her arms across her chest.
The door opened and a scruffy looking guy with a green and white striped beanie and plain, lazy clothes came walking out backwards grinning ear to ear. Yoruichi was pushing him out with one hand on his chest, also grinning ear to ear.
"C'mon Yoruichi, why do you always have to put me out?" said the scruffy guy.
"Because Kisuke!" Yoruichi yelled. "You're too obnoxious to be around any longer."
"You weren't saying that earlier," he said with a smirk on his face as he leaned forward and placed his hand on the door frame, getting closer to Yoruichi's face.
She faked a sigh and shrugged. "You know you get on my last nerve. But I can't help like that scruffy beard of yours." She reached up and grabbed his chin, stroking his jaw line. "It's not too thin, and not too thick." She pulled him down to kiss his grinning lips.
He was about to wrap his free hand around her waist when he realized that they were being watched. He slowly pulled away from Yoruichi and said "Uhhhhh, were being watched."
Yoruichi looked to the side and saw Rukia leaned against the wall. "Hey Rukia!" she said excitedly. She grabbed Kisuke by the wrist and dragged him in front of her. "This is Kisuke, my best friend in the entire world!"
Kisuke blushed a little and scratched the back of his neck and then stretched out his hand. "Hey, you're Rukia? The one in her language class?"
Yoruichi squealed with excitement and threw her arms up. "Yay! I can't believe you remembered! You actually pay attention!" She threw her arms around his neck squeezing him tightly.
She wrapped one arm around her waist and chuckled. "Why are you acting so surprised. I listen, I just do it subconsciously."
She pulled away and glared at him and then turned back to Rukia. "Sorry. That was just some weird best friend stuff. So, did you want something."
Rukia had forgotten what she wanted to tell Yoruichi by the time she was done watching them act like complete fools but only claiming that they were "best friends." How can they be just friends! The way they act, they have to be way more."Oh, just some girl stuff…"
"Oh," Kisuke said. "I guess that's my cue to beat it. I'll see you later Yoruichi." He flicked her pony tail as he walked off and he waved his hand and said "See you later," to Rukia.
"Well, he seems nice," she shifted her weight to her other leg. "So that's the reason I get no peace and quiet in my room."
Yoruichi thought that comment was hilarious. She couldn't stop laughing. Rukia raised an eye brow. "Man, that was funny!" she said as she wiped away a pretend tear. "But yeah, sorry about that. I don't do that on purpose. He's just so… damn… good," she said as she bit her lip. "I know you don't really care or anything, but I freakin love that kid!"
Rukia giggled at Yoruichi's comment. "Well, I was just wondering if you guys can do that... Maybe in his dorm or something? Or maybe when I'm not reading?"
"That's cool. I just hate the stares I get from guys when I leave his room. I have tried doing it there, trust me. But then he has to escort me out the dorm because all the guys in there watch me leave and try to touch me, but they don't if he's with me. It's just a lot easier for him to leave here, ya know?"
Rukia sighed. "Ugh, fine. I can put up with it. I guess. I know how you feel, sort of. When me and Kaien were together people always asked me if I would stop by their room and do the same for them. I guess Kaien lied to them, because all we did was play games, listen to music, and jump on the bed, and stuff like that. Or maybe people just assumed. So yeah, you guys carry on with your ways. I just wanted to read some manga." She stuck her tongue out with a crooked smile.
Yoruichi giggled. "You're such a dork! But hey, I'll try and keep it down and check if you're in there and stuff." She gave Rukia a hug then skipped off to her door. Before she went in she said, "You should find a new boyfriend or 'play mate' or something. It's college. Don't stay stuck on what happened with Kaien. I really wish you happiness. I'm going to set you up with someone!"
"Please don-" Rukia started to say.
"NO! You're not allowed to object! I know the perfect guy. But…." Yoruichi hesitated. "He looks an awful lot like Kaien. But he's awesome for you. Trust me. I'm setting it up. Yup. I'm going to text him as soon as I get in my room. And we're all going out….. Friday night! Well, not a date. We'll just hang out somewhere so there's no pressure. Okay?"
"You said no objections right?"
"Right! So I'll text you to see what he says!"
"Fine, Yoruichi-sensei." They both grinned and went into their rooms.
Rukia plopped onto her bed and sat there trying to take in what Yoruichi has planned for her. The guy looked a lot like Kaien? That's the main reason she was attracted to him. At first anyways. Over time it mostly became his personality. It was hard getting over Kaien. She tries not to think of what happened. Most people have the decency to not say anything about it, but they all know. He had dumped her on the school news channel and said she was the whole reason he had to switch to a new college on the other side of the country. She was in the school's food hall when it happened and she cried instantly and ran out. She didn't leave her room for a week. Apparently during that time all her friends stuck up for her and made them hush. But they said it was mostly thanks to this one kid that none of them knew. They said he's the one guy that sticks up for everyone. Well she was glad he did. If only she knew who he was. Orihime, her roommate, said she knew who he was, but Rukia never bothered to get more details. She decided that's what she was going to do tonight when Orihime got back.
Then Rukia heard the tri-tone on her iPhone and saw a text from Yoruichi. And so started their conversation.
"Hey! I texted him! I had to convince him, it's not his sort of thing, but I finally got him to say yes! ;) So make sure you wear something cute. But no dresses!"
"There goes one thing we have in common. But why no dresses?"
"It's mostly for me. I've never seen you wear pants!"
"All my pajamas are pants!"
"That's not the same thing! But seriously! Wear pants please? Do you even own a pair?"
"Yes. -_- I just prefer dresses. They require less thought and you throw them on and go. You don't have to think about it twice."
"Well you're going to have to get over your dress complex for one day! I'm going to have to help you make an outfit. I have a feeling you're going to end up having to borrow some of my clothes."
"But I'm so short!"
"We can roll up the legs of pants and I'm not that much taller than you, we should be the same size top. So no weaseling your way out of this."
"Fine. I'll be your dress up doll tomorrow. :/"
"Oh get over it! You'll live."
"But idk if I can dress like you do and pull it off. Different personalities and different bodies!"
"But I'll make it work. Trust me, you'll look hot. Btw, I am definitely putting a bow in your hair! You'll look so cute! I hope you guys like each other."
"I don't think it really matters, I'm just doing this for you."
"Can you at least try and enjoy yourself?"
"You know I always do! Life of the party man!"
"Yeah! But you got to really have fun!"
"Oh man, what's this kid's name?"
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you! His name is Ichigo!"
"Okay. Sounds nice enough."
"And don't be mad but, he has bright orange hair."
"So?"
"Well it makes most people not talk to him since he looks like a delinquent thug."
"Ehh, I don't care too much about it. If I don't like him, I'll use that as an excuse."
"Okay good. "
"How do you know this kid anyways?"
"Old family friend of Kisuke. "
"Well then he shouldn't be too bad right?"
"He just has a permanent scowl. And can come off as cold sometimes. But he has his funny moments."
"I got to be honest, he doesn't sound too good right now!"
"I'm sorry but trust me, I just know you'll like him."
"Is it because of his face?"
"No, that's just a coincidence. But I know you'll like him. You just have to!"
"And if I don't?"
"I'll buy you something."
"A giant bunny pillow for my bed!:D"
"Sure. I'll get you a giant bunny pillow! But I already know I won't need to! That's how confident I am! I'm going to spend the last of my allowance on a bow for you to wear tomorrow!"
"Smh. Whatever you say. Whelp, I'm going to read the rest of my manga that you interrupted earlier and wait up for Orihime. Ttfn."
"Again, sorry about that. ;)"
Rukia just smiled at her phone. She was going to get a bow for her hair and a giant bunny pillow! She was going to have a good day tomorrow. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:46. Orihime should have been home by now!
At that moment the door unlocked and Orihime walked in. Rukia was always a little jealous of Orihime. She was short, but more towards the average side. And she had enormous boobs. Rukia barely needed a bra. But that's something she really liked. If she couldn't wear a bra with her backless dresses, she just didn't wear one, it wouldn't look bad or be a huge ordeal if she didn't wear it. That was her excuse every time someone tried to make fun of them. And it was a good enough debate for them to leave her alone about it.
"Hey!" Orihime said cheerfully. That was another thing she envied about Orihime. She was always so cheerful. It seems like almost nothing bothered her!
"Hey Orihime." Rukia watched Orihime as she glided over to her bed and fell on her stomach and her hair cascaded off the edge of the bed. "You remember that whole Kaien accident?"
Orihime's head popped up with a sad look on her face. "Yeah, why?"
"You remember how you said how you and Yoruichi and some of our other friends stuck up for me when I was in a slump?" she waited for her to nod then she continued. "And you said there was one other kid defending me, that none of us knew? Who was he?"
Orihime sat up and smiled. "That was Ichigo!"
Ichigo? The kid she was set up with by Yoruichi? Is that why she knew Rukia would like him? Naw, can't be the same kid. She couldn't believe it. "What's he like?"
"Oh, he seems mean to most and looks like a delinquent because his hair is orange like mine. But he's not all that bad." Orihime seemed really excited to talk about Ichigo. "He actually has a really good heart. He just has a permanent scowl on his forehead. But it actually makes him really look hot."
"Do you like this Ichigo, Orihime?" Rukia asked in a suggestive tone.
"Oh of course not! Well, I have a little crush on him. He sits by me in my chemistry class and we just talk to each other a lot because we're partners but that's it." She paused. "Well, I did confess to him about a month ago. But he just doesn't see me like that. He said he just sees me as a very good friend. But he said I was very cute, so I was okay about it!"
"What! He rejected you? Everybody wants you!"
"I know. Not to sound conceited or anything! It's just hard to ignore all the howls and random groping. But some people say he's gay because they've never seen him with a girl. But I just think he hasn't found one that he truly likes but when he does, I'll wish them nothing but happiness. He's such a good guy. If the girl broke his heart, I'd probably break her face."
Rukia stared at Orihime in shock! She was such a sweet, soft spoken, kind girl. And she threatened to break someone's face! This Ichigo must be really special! But she knew Orihime could hold her own. She almost got in a fight in their English class. She can't remember what it was over but she remembered Orihime not being intimidated by that girl at all. She thought it was due to her best friend Tatsuki. Tatsuki was the best person she had ever seen at martial arts, male or female. She had heard that in the span of their friendship, she's had to beat up a few perverts for getting too touchy feely with Orihime. At first she was scared of Tatsuki till she realized she was laid back and that you were just not supposed to push her buttons. Her main button being Orihime.
She looked up at Orihime. "He must be really nice to make you fall for him. Your head is always so high in the clouds, I'd never expect you to notice any guy."
Orihime smiled. "I know. I can't help it. It's better with your head in the clouds. Don't have worry about so many worldly problems," she said as she fell back on her bed hitting her head on the wall.
"Are you okay Orihime!"
"Yeah, just a little bump! I've had worse!" she was actually smiling after hitting her head. That was not a little bump. "Hey Rukia, I'm suddenly tired, do you mind turning off the lights?"
"No problem, I was just thinking about going to bed too." Rukia got up and turned the lights off. Neither of them cared about sleeping in their clothes. Rukia got in bed under the covers. "Goodnight Orihime."
"Night Rukia!"
