Haha, i know i said i'd update tomorrow, but i wrote another 5 pages and thought it wouldn't hurt to add a chapter. I know this sounds unlikely, but in a little over an hour, i have recieved 120 hits, and only one review. (Big thanks and a huge hug to Midday, my first Reviewer.) People! I know you're reading, would it hurt to Review??
Anyway, this might be a lil OOC, but only a little, and it was necessary.
Disclaimer: We all can't be Tite Kubos.. -Sigh- why not though? sniff. TT

-Rukia-
While we were walking, I was surprised that Ichigo though I was a sappho. I still thought he wasn't totally convinced though. What made him think that? Wasn't I girly enough? Was that the case? Didn't I show enough interest in guys? Suddenly, I was pissed off.
"Well? Do you have any interest in men?" I asked, knowing perfectly well that he didn't.
"Huh? Rukia, you think I'm gay? Just what makes you think I'm homosexual?"
I pretended to think about it. "Well, you never ask girls out. I mean if you say that you're not 'gay', why do-" I said using quotation marks with my fingers before he cut me off.
-Ichigo-
"That's IT! Rukia, the first one of us to get a date with the opposite sex will win. Loser has to do winner's homework for a week. And wait, no nagging. You can't nag either." I shouted to her while shaking her shoulders.
Rukia looked a bit surprised but then started grinning. "Agreed," she replied. "First one of us to get a date within 24 hours wins! Prepare to lose, Ichigo!" she laughed and walked a bit faster.
What the hell did I just do? Why did I say that? Man, this sucks. Me and my big mouth. Now if I ask somebody out, it'll spread around the school like wildfire. But then, the most brilliantly evil idea popped into my head.
"So, Rukia," I said casually, as if we didn't just propose such a tedious challenge just now. "Do you want to go with me to the amusement park this Sunday? It'll be less crowded."
"Sure. I can't wait."
YES! Mission accomplished. I ran in front of her and turned around to face Rukia.
"Better start doing my homework now, lady."
-Rukia-
"What? Don't be so arrogant, you haven't won yet." I snapped at him.
"Haven't I? I just asked you out. To the amusement park. On Sunday. And you said yes." He started laughing and walking ahead of me.
CHAPPIE SHIT, HE WAS RIGHT. "Ichigo, wait up, It's not fair, that's cheating!" I said desperately.
"Nuh-uh. We never said we couldn't do that. Get over it." He grinned and kept walking.
I do not want to his homework, damn it!
"B-But Ichigo-" I stuttered.
He held up a hand. "Ah. Too bad. Make sure your handwriting looks like mine and your answers are correct. I don't want the teacher to think I've turned into a girl overnight."
HUH? The guy's got nerve! I smacked him.
"Ow, Rukia, I'm only telling the truth! If the teacher sees chappie rabbits over my paper, she'll suspect something!" Ichigo yelled.
I whacked him all the way home.
-Ichigo-
When we got home, no one was there. "Huh, looks like the pedophile and my sisters aren't here. You can stop hiding, Rukia."
She peeked around slowly, as if something was going to eat her. I found a note on the fridge.
My son,
I dropped Karin and Yuzu to their sleepover and am going to the bar for a few drinks. Make sure no dying patients will come to the clinic. When I come home, be ready for the beating of your life.
Love,
Your Daddy.
I scrunched the note up and tossed it in the garbage. Rukia was still looking from side to side, crouched behind the table. As if nobody could see her. I walked over and pulled her up.
"Rukia! Stop acting so paranoid, No one's going to come!" I yelled.
"Okay. This feels weird. Usually I run up to your closet while your family's in the clinic. OH MY GOD! Is that you?" she pointed to a picture of me when I was young. Messy orange hair, looking skinny and smiling for my life with my eyes closed and with no front teeth.I shrugged.
"I think I look kinda cute, don't you?" I said sarcastically.
Rukia fell on the floor and started shaking and making weird noises. Shit, Is she having a seizure?
"Rukia! Are you-" I stopped.
She rolled over I and I realized stupidly she was laughing.
"Mentally retarded?" I finished hotly.
-Rukia-
Hahahahahahahaaa!!! Oh lord, Ichigo looked like a –
"Scrawny chicken," I said when I was done wheezing with laughter.
Ichigo looked angry and shocked. "Huh? Didn't catch that," he replied threateningly.
I looked up to his eyes, still smiling. "Scrawny chicken. I said you looked like a-"
But I couldn't finish my sentence because I dissolved into peals of laughter once more. What could I do? There was Ichigo's face, looming over mine, looking serious and tense, when I imagined his whack smile again with no teeth.
For a whole 10 minutes, every single time I tried to stop, I'd set off again, because of his face. He stood there patiently, waiting for me to finish, because he understood it was just one of those things that was plain funny. Finally, my crazy laughter died down. Ichigo stood in front of me, looking pained, and then suddenly I remembered the insane toothless grin from the picture and I started wheezing again. I fell on the sofa, clutching my stomach to try and stop the pain from laughing so hard, and that's when Ichigo lost it.
"Rukia!" He shouted while pinning me to the sofa with his hands on my shoulders. His legs were on either side of mine. His -cough- was on my -sneeze-, kind of pushing into me.
"Stop…Laughing…" Ichigo said weakly, desperately. But I already had.
His chest was pressed against mine, and he was looking into my eyes, scrutinizing me. Was he going to kiss me?
-Ichigo-
I could feel Rukia's body under me, and I blushed. Then, I got angry.
"ARE YOU DONE LAUGHING NOW?" I screamed.
Bad timing. Rukia started giggling insanely again, so I let go of her shoulders and grabbed her wrists in my hands and whispered in her ear, "If you don't cut it, I will throw you on my shoulder, tie you up, and keep you in my closet until you've shut up."
I swear to god I was dead serious. Actually, no I wasn't really, until Rukia muttered "Scrawny Chicken."
That was the last straw. I picked her up and slung her over my shoulder. Hey, she was pretty light! She was shrieking, pounding my back, kicking me also while yelling,
"SCRAWNY CHICKEN! PUT ME DOWN, I SWEAR I'LL-" and then burst into laughter for the umpteenth time, probably thinking about my chicken smile. My blood was boiling. Suddenly, I felt pain on my shoulder. She bit me! Rukia frickin BIT me! I ignored the stinging pain and went upstairs to my room.
While she was on my shoulder, I grabbed some duct tape and threw her on my bed. Determined, I stood over Rukia and glared at her. SHE WAS STILL LAUGHING!!!
