A/N: Chapter two, Rules.

Nothing special. Renji and Tatsuki will be introduced in the next chapter.


Rules and reasons

After quickly changing, Karin appeared in the living room. Toushirou thought it would be wise to stay in the room, until it was over.

A smile was pasted on her face, an incredibly intimidating smile that was.

Very similar to Unohana's, but somehow this was scarier.

It was funny, with the way she could manipulate him by making some faces.

She slowly took place across the table Ichigo was sitting at. Slowly opening her eyes. Those eyes. They burnt his soul.

He gulped and looked at her, frightened. He may be stronger, but she was a hell of a lot more intimidating. There was an awkward silence until she decided to speak.

"Brother, would you mind telling me how you came in, swinging at my boyfriend like that ? Do you wish to die at such a young age?"

"Tch, where is that sneaky bastard anywa-"

"Just answer the question Ichigo."

"I came to ask you a favor."

"You didn't ask me anything."

"Well, that's because-"

"Okay, Shut up. What do you want ?"

"Well," he began. He recalled the memory of yesterday, what a horrible friday it was.


"Ichigo~!" a sharp high-pitched shriek came from the living room. He rushed downstairs, almost tripping on his own feet, twice.

"Rukia, what is-" He looked at the floor, it was covered in sweets, wasted food and sake. Attracting flies and cockroaches.

Rukia stood in the middle on a small stool, holding up her skirt. She held out her arm, signaling Ichigo to pull her out of the mess.

But the boy was so hypnotized by the endless mess in his house, he didn't see her.

"Ichigo goddammit !" she snapped. She threw her hands in the air, losing balance. She fell too fast for him to catch her, with a bad result.

In two seconds flat, Rukia was covered in bits of ramen, eggs and as final touch a huge blob of pink gum sticked to her hand.

"You stupid bastard !" she cursed. It seems extremely out of character for someone like Kuchiki Rukia to curse, but she was obviously pissed off. But then again, what would you do in her place ?

She pushed herself up, but failed because her hands slipped.

"Oi midget, you OK ?"

"Ichigo, this not the time for you to call me names. So pick me up before I'll give you a painful make-over ! Pick me up NOW."

"No need to be so pushy." he complained, much to Rukia's dismay. He complained while she was covered in somebody else's filth.

After Rukia rinsed her hands and put on a new dress, they where bound to find out who the hell did this to their house.

When they were about to enter the living room, Rukia jumped on her boyfriend's back, almost breaking it.

"Oi, what the hell do you think you're doing ?"

"These roaches are scaring me." she shivered.

He sighed, "You fight with terrible monsters everyday and yet you're scared of roaches."

She pulled his hair. "What was that ?"

"Nothing."

He started walking, careful not to step on water and slip.

When the couple arrived at the kitchen, they saw Yachiru and Rangiku on the floor, smelling like sake and ramen.

Rukia descended from his back, looking at them in awe.

"Get out !" she whispered loudly. She couldn't believe it. They did this ? Of all people, but then again Rangiku is a sake-addict and Yachiru...well you know her.

Ichigo walked pass them, filling a glass with water.

"What are you -"

"Shh, it'll work."

He poured the glass out of their faces.

"NYAN !"

Yachiru was first to wake up, followed by a loud scream of Rangiku.

The strawberry blonde rubbed her face dry with her sleeves.

"Where am I ?" Yachiru asked, "I feel woozy."

"Oh man I had way to much to drink." Rangiku laughed.

"Are they sober or what ?" Rukia thought out loud.

A cockroach ran by her foot, with a loud shriek she jumped on Ichigo's back.

"Stop it will ya ?"

Rangiku looked around. "Hey Istygo, Rumia. How are you today ?"

"Did you give Yachiru sake ?" Ichigo asked the blonde. She just smiled.

"Did you really give alcohol to a minor ?"

"I'm 17, I can drink." the pinkette broke in. Rubbing her head she stared around, looking for something or someone.

"Hey where are Renji and Tatsuki ?"

"I don't know, they left pretty early, I'm sure they hooked up."

"I don't care, get off your lazy asses and clean this house up !" Rukia snapped.

"Gomen, gomen. We're gettin up already. Why're you so naggy ?" the blonde complained.


"So we all finished cleaning up, but the roaches stayed. We already called to get the house fumigated."

"Listen here, and listen close. Because I'm only gonna say this once."

Ichigo gulped, he knew what was going to come. Even if Yuzu did al the caring and cleaning when they lived in their dad's house...Karin made rules. And if you just dare to ignore them, you'll die. So it was only natural, rules are rules. Even Rangiku didn't break them when she stayed at Karin's house. And that has to be enough said.

"If you ever come in my room like that again, no wait. Scratch that. If you ever come into my room at all, You die. If you ever eat the watermelons, you die."

She pointed at a watermelon on the dining table sitting in a bowl, and continued. "If you ever swing at my boyfriend like that again, you die. If you use my soap and or shampoo without asking me, you die. And if you ever, and I mean ever destroy anything, mess up anything or bring freeloaders into my house, I, Kurosaki Karin, born second to Masaki Kurosaki and Isshin Kurosaki, will make sure that you will die by my hands and burn in eternal hell-fire. Did I make myself clear, Onii-chan ?"

Gulp.

"Are we clear Ichigo ?"

"Yes ma'am, we are."

"Then that's settled," she got up from her seat and walked towards her room, and shouted, "I'm going to take a shower now, call Rukia."

"I will."

He sighed in relieve. Thank Kami that's over, I thought I was gonna die for sure.

He pulled out his phone, dailing Orihime's number.


"So, is everything alright with Ichigo ?" Toushirou asked.

"Yeah, well. You might wanna sit down for this one."

He looked at her in confusion. Sitting on the bed, unprepared for the chaos that's about to come.

I guess, this was Kami's way of entertaining himself. Setting chaos between siblings and their loved ones. This was going to start one hell of a complicated story.

Sneak peek next chapter: Rangiku and Yachiru's Fantasic adventure.

"Rangiku, what are these ?"

The strawberry blonde walked over to Yachiru, who was scroling on her phone. Very wierd pictures of unknown people were on the display.

"Who the hell are those people ?"

Yachiru shaked her head. She was still confused out the photos and wierd drawings she had on her arms.

"Man, we have to find out what happened that night."

It was almost like a lightbulb popped above their head.

"Let's start with Ichigo's house, I'm pretty sure there are some clues left there."

"It'll be like a huge adventure !" the pinkette screeted happily.

Will you not join them ?
