Title of Chapter 2: Third Daughter
Notes to the Reader:
#1 Okay, so I have been taking my reviewers advice seriously and the consensus seems to be that "my stories need to be longer and have a bit more detail." So, please keep in mind this is my first attempt at a chaptered story, please bear with me, and give me any advice you have.
#2 Some people may not be happy with the way I portray Orihime in this story, and I am sorry. If you don't like it don't read it.
#3 The reason I am writing this story is because I feel like the people who like Orihime X Ichigo like them for no other reason than they "look good together, and they both have orange hair." A real relationship goes beyond just the looks, a real relationship consists of what Ichigo and Rukia have together.
Recap of first chapter: Ichigo and Rukia meet for the first time as she takes out two huge guys in an instant. They have all four classes together and this makes Ichigo's girlfriend Orihime extremely jealous. While walking home together Rukia shows Ichigo her new home and Ichigo realizes she is pointing to his home.
"Ichigo I am a foreign exchange student, and this is the family I am staying with."
"What, my Dad never said anything about this."
"I don't know what to tell you, I have been speaking with your Dad for the last month setting this all up, I am going to be living with you for a little while."
The two walk into the house, Ichigo is welcomed with a swift kick to the forehead and falls to floor.
"Oh, and this must be the beautiful Rukia Kuchiki, it is a pleasure to finally put a face to the voice." Isshin says.
Rukia's cheeks blush at his comment "Yes Sir I am, it is a pleasure to finally meet you too."
Isshin looks to his son on the floor "Ichigo this is what I wanted to talk to you about today."
Ichigo hops up off the floor in anger and yells "what do you mean you were going to talk to me about it today? She is already here, don't you think you should have talked to me about it before she got here, I think it is a little late now old man."
Isshin laughs and says "ya I guess it is. Rukia your stuff has already arrived and we have moved it up to your new bedroom, Ichigo show her to her room."
Ichigo huffed and tried to sound angry, "which room is hers, and don't think I am not going to give you shit for this later." Ichigo wasn't angry though, he was actually happy.
Isshin responded " ya whatever son, her room is right next to yours."
Ichigo shows Rukia to her room, "do you need any help?"
Rukia looks around at all the boxes, "umm… yea I guess I could use some help."
The two start going through the boxes.
"So, this must be why we have all the same classes together." Ichigo said
"Ya, my guardian said I would have the same classes as the child of the person I was living with." Rukia responded.
Ichigo laughed "and you didn't put two and two together that it might be me that you were living with? We did discuss that we had all four classes together."
Rukia looked up from her boxes and thought about the question and laughed "nope, didn't even cross my mind to be honest. I mean, I guess I figured whoever it was would find me."
"Ya well, maybe I would have, if I even knew. Damn that stupid whack job, I wonder why he wouldn't tell me."
"I don't know, maybe he thought you would have fought him on it."
Ichigo laughed again, "I probably would have."
Rukia started to get a little sad and said, "what, do you not want me here?"
"No, no, no, I am glad you are here now! You are cool and I like you, but I am just saying I probably would have fought him in the beginning for trying to bring another person into this house. We have people in and out all the time it is irritating."
"Oh I see."
"So how did all this happen, how did you get stuck with us?"
"Well after my mother and father died, I spent several years living with my much older sister Hisana in as I told you earlier a really, really bad area, and I was starting to do stupid stuff. Hisana wanted better for me so she looked into getting me in school here, apparently she knows your father somehow, and so she called him to see what he could do to get me into Karakura High. He just said he would take me in as a sort of foreign exchange student type thing."
"Oh I see, well I am glad to have you here Rukia."
"Thanks Ichigo, that means a lot."
Ichigo opens up one box of CDs and puts them on the shelf, he smiles when he sees all the different genres of music. Then he opens another big box of them and puts them on the shelf too. Then two more boxes, "Jeeze Rukia, you sure do have a lot of CDs."
Rukia smiled and walked over to the shelf, "Ya, music is my life, it is my getaway, I pretty much listen to music all day everyday."
Ichigo liked that about her, music did the same thing for him. "Wow, you have every type of music country, rock, rap, classic, jazz. You have everything from AC/DC to Eminem, Frank Sinatra to Louie Armstrong. Rukia this is amazing I have never seen a collection as extensive as this."
Ichigo grabbed the Beastie Boys CD and put it in the CD player so they could listen to some music as they got her room set up. Ichigo couldn't help but laugh hysterically as she danced and sang every word to "She's Crafty"
"She's crafty - she's gets around
She's crafty - she's always down
She's crafty - she's got a gripe
She's crafty - and she's just my type
She's crafty"
"Rukia, you are something else, I have never met a girl like you." Ichigo said.
They had just finished setting up her room when Yuzu yelled up to them that dinner was ready. They walked downstairs and sat at the table. Isshin introduces Rukia to the twins Yuzu and Karin and they all begin talking like they had been together as a family forever. Ichigo tells Isshin the story about how he first met Rukia this morning.
Isshin ran over to his poster of Masaki, Ichigo's mother and yells "Oh Masaki you will not believe it, I have found us a third daughter and she is great! Oh how I love her."
Rukia just smiled and asked his kids "is he always like this?"
Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu all roll their eyes and in unison say "yes!"
Rukia just laughed and said "I think I am going to like it here."
After dinner Ichigo and Rukia go up to Ichigo's room and start their homework. Soon after that Orihime calls.
"Hey Ichigo."
"Hey Orihime."
Orhime excited says, "So what was the big news?"
Ichigo excited about the current situation responds in a very happy and enthusiastic voice, "You know the new girl Rukia?"
Orhime not as exicted and in more of an inquistive tone says "Uh huh."
"Well she is going to be living with us, my Dad took her in as like a foreign exchange student thing."
"What? She is going to be living with you?" She yelled.
"Ya, what is wrong? My dad knows Rukia's sister Hisana and told her that we would take care of her, and put her in a better school."
"You have got to be fucking kidding me?"
Ichigo walks out of the room "what is wrong?"
"You are going to be living with that new slut, that's what is wrong."
"Orihime relax, it's not like she is sleeping in my bed with me! She has her own room, and wait did you just call her slut? You know nothing about her."
"Ya, well I know enough."
"If you are going to be ridiculous I am going to hang up, you know I hate it when you say stupid shit about people you know nothing about."
"See look you are already picking her over me."
"No, you are just judging someone you know nothing about, I would do it for anyone else too."
"Whatever."
"Orihime, you are talking like I can do something about this situation. I can't my Dad took her in, he is happy she is here and there is nothing I can do about it, so you are just going to need to get over it."
"Fine, I guess you are right. I guess I am just a bit jealous, she has all the same classes as you and now she is living with you. I want to be able to be with you that much, it isn't fair."
"Well, I will just make sure I make more time for my baby."
"Allright, sounds good, you always know how to make me feel better."
"Anything for my girl! I have to go now though, homework beckons."
"Talk with you tomorrow, bye Ichigo."
"Bye."
Ichigo walked back to his bedroom and sees Rukia laying on her belly on his bed with her legs and head swinging back and forth to the song playing on her iPod. He couldn't help but think how cute she was; in fact he couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was. She was short and small but had a stunning curvy figure and a firm butt; she also had the milkiest skin, which her black hair complemented nicely. Rukia turns around and looks at Ichigo standing in the doorway and as she takes off her headphones and turns to talk to him, he notices those eyes. Her eyes the most gorgeous he had ever seen, they were a beautiful shade of violet and blue.
"So is Orihime your girlfriend?" Rukia breaks the silence and awkwardness of Ichigo checking her out, which she totally noticed by the way.
Ichigo walks into the room and sits at his desk turning his chair around facing towards her, "yes."
"Oh, that is nice, you are lucky she is really beautiful." Rukia responded.
"Uh, thanks I guess."
"So, how long have you guys been dating?"
"Oh, I guess about a year now."
"Wow that is a long time."
"You're telling me."
"What, trouble in paradise?"
"Oh no, its not that, it has just been a long time and she can get on my nerves sometimes. She thinks she is better than everybody, and doesn't hesitate to voice it."
"Well, Ichigo she is better than everybody! She is absolutely stunning and she has tits the size of my head!"
Ichigo burst out in laughter; he shook his head up and down "that she does."
"I don't think she likes me very much, she kept giving me the evil eye all day."
"She is just threatened by you, especially now that I just told her you are living with me."
"Oh great, I forgot all about her not knowing, shit, she is going to kick my ass isn't she?"
Ichigo chuckled, "After what I saw today, I think if she tried she would be the one in trouble."
After they stopped laughing Ichigo said "No, don't worry I already spoke to her about it she is fine."
"Oh, good, allright I think I am going to go to bed now."
"Allright goodnight Rukia."
"Ichigo can I take a shower first I feel gross from setting up my room all day."
"Ya of course you can, bathroom is across the hall and towels are in the linen closet right by the door."
"Thanks."
Rukia went off and took her shower and then went to bed. Ichigo finished his homework and then changed into some basketball shorts and a t-shirt and laid on his bed and thought about the day and how he had actually had fun for a change. He liked this girl, she was beautiful, funny, smart and wasn't like the other snobby, bitchy girls at school. He thought about how he was glad his father hadn't asked him if she could come here, because he would have said no, and he would not have met her, he is going to have to thank his father someday for this, then he then fell asleep.
