A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I've just not found enough time to sit down and write. Let alone a place to do it or inspiration. But! No more! I shall release, chapter 2! Enjoy! Btw, I'm using Mac, so, I'm not sure how this will turn out.

"What's this?" Rukia stated with curiosity as she reached for the drawer to Ichigo's desk.

Before she grabbed it, she stopped. 'Wait a minute,' she thought, 'I'm not sure if I should look at it. What with the way he reacted earlier.'

So, she decided against it and headed down stairs after hearing Yuuzu call "DINNER TIME!"

All through dinner, Rukia couldn't stop thinking about those papers. When stuck her dishes in the sink, she unconsciously rushed up the stairs to Ichigo's room and Yuuzu and Karin noticed.

"Wonder why she's in a rush?" Karin said in a suspecting tone.

"Maybe she has to go to the bathroom badly? I mean, we did have a lot of laxative like

veggies tonight." Yuuzu responded without turning away from the dishes.

Karin stared at Yuuzu irkedly. "Really? You think it's the veggies?" she asked in an equally annoyed tone to match her face.

"What do you mean?" Yuuzu asked slightly confused.

"Come on! I know you can't be that thick Yuuzu. You haven't noticed anything going on?"

"Well, not really, I mean, other than these long vacation's Ichi-nii takes with Rukia and his friends, not-"

But she was cut off but Karin saying in an I-can't-believe-you tone "You seriously believe that crap?! Ichi-nii and Rukia take off randomly everyday and in the night as well! They go away for long periods of time, and when they come back, they don't tell us anything! And as for their friends…." She trailed off, remembering that kid-like captain and his busty lieutenant, and what he told her about what they were.

"I know, I'm worried too." Yuuzu responded sympathetically.

"It's not just worry, I want to know. I want to know everything that's been going on with him since this all started this year." Karin said in a not-budging tone.

This time, Yuuzu turned and faced her twin with a worried face of her own.

"Aren't you the least bit curious?" Karin asked in an are-you-sure tone.

"Well…."

*Mean while, upstairs, Rukia is fighting her own demon…. of curiosity*

Rukia stood in front of the desk, knowing it would be the perfect time to look at the papers.

"No, I couldn't," she told herself out loud "but I want to know!"

So, she decided, a little peek couldn't hurt, and Ichigo would never know. Before she even took a step toward the drawer, she remembered his reaction earlier. Instead, she brushed her teeth and went right to bed.

*Later that same night*

Rukia rolled over and over and over again, trying to get comfortable, but couldn't. She looked at her watch, which read 2:17 am. Sighing, she futilely rolled onto her right side, and stared at the inside door of Ichigo's closet. She could visualize what was on the other side of the door, and yet, she couldn't look at it.

"So close, yet….*sighs*"

Finally, she couldn't take it any longer. She left her body and got her self standing in front of the drawers soundlessly. She noticed Ichigo was still gone. Even during dinner, he wasn't here. She shrugged, and reached for the drawer with great care and dexterity so she could phase the paper's through the drawer without disturbing anything else.

'Finally!' she thought 'Now, to see what's on here.'

A/N: What will Rukia read on those mysterious music sheets? What are the Kurosaki twins planning? What's happened to Ichigo? Y am I asking u these questions?! Tune in next time to find out all the answers and more!

P.S. I thought this would be longer, but it didn't turn out that way. Sorry. And, if u all hav any suggestions, I'm welcome to hear them.
