Sorry! I wanted to upload this chapter earlier but i had a mindblock =(
just f.y.i. i have not even planned this whole story. im thinking of it as i go.
i was in cambodia for 3 days so sorry for late update =x almost finished it before i went but decided not to so i could write a longer chapter =x
this chapter basically explains what happened to Rukia in Seireitei during the 17 month jump
hope i didnt bore you guys and hope it isnt too bad =x
"Are you okay, Kuchiki-san?"
Rukia groaned loudly and smacked the over-concerned Keigo on the back of his head, causing it to slam on the table.
"Damn that Ichigo. Now I'm lacking of sleep"
Rukia muttered to herself, while silently cursing the orange-haired guy across the classroom.
The guy in question was doing no better, his head resting on the table and his eyes half-closed. He was already easily irritated due to a lack of sleep, yet, Keigo insisted on annoying the hell out of him.
"But Ichigoooo… Rukia-chan just smacked my…"
Whatever Keigo wanted to say, was never heard. Ichigo chose that exact moment to snap, easily grabbing Keigo by the head and tossing him across the classroom.
All this happened at the exact moment when the door opened and the teacher entered the classroom
As Keigo's head slid down the wall, Ichigo and Rukia's jaws dropped when they saw their new "teacher"
Who else could it be?
The class was silent for once as the teacher slowly walked to the table and put down the books he was carrying
"Good morning class, as of today, I will be your new literature teacher. You may address me as Kuchiki-sensei. Please feel free to approach me should you have any difficulties in class"
Ichigo's mouth had opened so wide that it was almost touching the floor. Byakuya being friendly? This had to be a dream
Just when he thought the surprise was over, Byakuya continued on.
"Before we start lessons, I would like to introduce a few new students. Please welcome them and help them adapt to their new environment"
With that, Matsumoto, Histugaya, Renji and Hinamori entered the classroom
"Konichiwa~ Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu"
Oh shit… And I thought my day couldn't get any worse. Ichigo slammed his head on the table with a bang
"Kurosaki-kun, please stand and continue from where Hinamori left off"
I bet you are enjoying this aren't you… you cruel bastard…
Ichigo mentally cursed Byakuya and reluctantly stood up
"I didn't hear where she read to…"
"I'm sorry? I didn't hear you. Would you care to speak up so the whole class can hear you, Kurosaki?"
Ichigo's scowl deepened on his face. Why don't you jump off a building?
"I said, I didn't hear where she stopped"
"I know you didn't, that's because you were busy daydreaming. Which is why you will be assigned double the workload today. You too Abarai, I head that whistle"
Now it was Ichigo's turn to smirk as he saw the redhead open his mouth to retort, before thinking the better of it and shutting his mouth
Soon though, Ichigo could barely stand, let alone smirk
Bastard… as if standing for your hour long period wasn't enough… did you really have to tell every teacher? Ichigo had been standing for almost 3 hours now and to be honest, his legs were really aching
Hollow alert~ Hollow alert~
Ichigo looked down at his blinking badge and made a small fist-pump action before requesting for permission to head to the toilet
Hitting himself with the Representative badge, he changed into his shinigami form and headed in the direction of the hollow
He sighed
He hated walking. But after the fight with Ginjo he had tested his powers and realized that they had increased tremendously and he had yet to control it. If he shunpo-ed now, he would easily overshot the hollow
But this new powers had great advantages. He was easily able to beat even Gillians with a mere Getsuga
His mouth curved slightly at the thought of it
Now I can easily protect everybody… especially Rukia… WAIT… why am I thinking of that midget again! Argh!...
As much as he hated to admit it, he had been sulking for the past 17 months because of two things
One, the lost of his powers
Two, the loss of Rukia
Damn he missed her over-cheerful silly faces and of course, she was the one who loved bossing him around
Sigh. What am I thinking about?...
Ichigo absent-mindedly swung Zangetsu again, taking out a third Gillian easily before heading back to school
Ichigo's room
Well, it looks like Ichigo is getting used to his new powers quickly. That's good…
Rukia sat on his bed next to his immobile body and sighed
Ichigo was taking care of yet another Adjuchas hollow. Despite being rare even in Hueco Mundo, already 5 had shown up today
Something was amiss, but as always, Yamamoto told them not to interfere
Yamamoto's speech in Seireitei
"I have some plans for Kurosaki. Observe his powers and access if he is able to manage Karakura town. Then report back to me after a week. I will inform everyone of my decision after I have seen the report. None of you are to assist him in taking care of the hollows unless the situation requires it. Just stand and observe."
What could he have planned for Ichigo?... Rukia's mind drifted off as she slowly caressed his motionless face
Then she realized what she had been doing and quickly pulled her hand away
What if Renji sees me!
1 Month ago
"Rukia! Hey! Wait up!"
The red head bends down to catch his breath
"Its already been 16 months, when will you get over him?"
"Get over who?"
"Don't lie to yourself Rukia. You've been locking yourself up, refusing to eat much, even your skin has grown more pale, you're still thinking of Ichigo aren't you?"
"N…no…"
"Since you say you aren't, go out with me today"
He didn't take "no" for an answer
Sigh. Just like that, they have been going out for over a month, before Isshin and Urahara finally came up with a way to restore Ichigo's powers
Renji seriously enjoyed spending time with her and she had a great time too
She had almost forgotten her feelings for Ichigo, but fate is a cruel thing
Idiot! Why can't I forget about you!
Rukia punched his body multiple times, half-expecting it to retaliate, but it never did
As she continued to pound, tears rolled down her cheek and she lay down on his chest, continuing to sob, uncertain of her feelings towards the two most important men in her life
On a roof a few blocks away, a familiar red head saw and misunderstood the whole incident
He clenched his fist, bit his lip and turned his back on the sight, punching a wall and shattering it as he walked back to Urahara's shop.
First off, thanks for reading ^^
Hope the ending wasn't too abrupt =x
I changed the title cos i thought Complicated would better describe the situation in this story
the school scene with Byakuya was inspired by my friend, who just so happened to suffer the exact same fate as Ichigo =x so i hope it wasn't too random or anything =x
last 3 things,
1. I have a major O level exam at the end of this year, so for those of you who read and like this story (3 you guys ^^), im sorry if there are slow updates =(
2. My friend suggested i put song lyrics within my story too, so it better emphasizes the scene and the emotions, i wanna know what you guys think about that idea o.o
3. I'm not too good at Jap so feel free to correct any mistakes i made =x i'm still learning... from a book ._. ...
