As you can see, I still don't have a name for this story, so if you like the story please suggest a name for it. I might add the next chapter soon, coz I have one more chapter with me.

This chapter takes place before the first chapter. It is the start of the story, how they met, etc. Although this chapter only has Rukia's POV.

Unedited.

Sorry I forgot the disclaimer..

Disclaimer:- Bleach does not belong to me.


The day started out fine for both of our protagonists. However, the real adventure starts, when they meet each other.

Rukia stepped out of her apartment for yet another stressful day. Today, she just wanted to sit back and relax, but since Renji was not here to pick up their school work, she had to go to the school. They can't afford to miss a single day, since they worked hard for their tuition fees. In addition, they didn't really have friends at school, because of the age difference. For God's sake! They weren't freaks!

Rukia went to the bus stop and waited for the bus, because again Renji was not here to drive them to school. She missed Renji, he was all she had in this cruel world. This time too, he was out doing some random job to earn some money for their expenses. Her job at the bookstore didn't pay too well. Speaking about jobs, there were some job advertisements pinned to the notice board on the bus stop. She decided to surf through them—helper at a Vet, nope, some of those pets out there look taller and bigger that her, housekeeper, hmm.. Pays too low, girlfriend for a day, whaaaaa! Who is this moron? Next, nanny, now that's easy, kids love me, the pay is good too.

Rukia took out her cell phone to jot down the contact details. Just then the bus stopped behind her, while she was entering the bus, her cell phone fell down. She got down just to pick it, at the same time, the evil bus driver drove away. She was left there cursing her luck and the driver. Ten minutes later, she was on a different bus, gasping for oxygen. It seems as if half of Karakura was traveling in the same bus. Gosh! Don't they have other means of transport like the subway or the taxi? She somehow reached her stop 'alive', but since she was ten minutes late, she had to run to her school.

School was all right today. No one bothered her, if you don't consider taunting and teasing as a bother. At least they didn't vandalize her locker like last week. Now it was time to go to her job at the book store. If she got the new job, she has to leave this job. Although she liked the job, it paid too less. She reached the store and changed out of her uniform into her usual clothes, which she carried in her school bag. A pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt was good enough for work and for the meeting she had set up with the people for the job of nanny. Would the fact that she is still in high school prove to be a drawback? Maybe she should tell them that she has completed her high school education.

After her work was over, she started to make way towards her destination. The house was located in the better part of the city. Figures; only rich people would hire nannies and pay them a fortune to raise their kids. Rukia decided to walk there since she had a lot of time on her hands. She was walking through a silent street, humming a song, when she heard some noises coming from an alley. Noises of someone getting their butt kicked by a lot of hoodlums. Now if it was any other day and place, she would have just hightailed out of there; but this was a good neighbor-hood and her day so far was also fine. So, she decided to help the person, she was such an Angel.

Rukia entered the alley and what she saw horrified her. A group of 10-12 boys was beating the crap out of one orange-haired guy. Well, he looked like a hoodlum too with his bleached hair, or was it natural? Who cares? She shouted for them to leave the guy alone, but no one heard her. Oh good! Ignore the short person. By now, Rukia was very furious. No one ignores her and lives to tell the tale. She dropped her school bag and charged at them. A few kicks and punches later all of them were on the ground, whimpering in pain. Thank God, they didn't have any weapons with them. Renji and Shuuhei will be so proud of her, after all, they are the ones who taught her how to fight. She was about to leave the alley, when her gaze landed on the orange-guy. He was pretty much unconscious. She went to him and tried to get him out of the alley, which was far too difficult 'cause he was damn too tall and heavy.

As soon as she was out of the alley, a girl with long orange-brown hair and huge boobs ran towards her. Are they real? She was around the same age as the guy on Rukia's shoulder. The girl looked like she was about to cry. She was muttering something like 'Kurosaki-kun'. Did she know this guy?

"Hey, do you know him?" Rukia asked while trying not to fall while holding the dead weight. The girl just nodded.

"Well then, will you take him to his home?" Now the girl was really crying.

"Will you please carry him to Urahara-san's place?" the girl said while shedding more tears. How could Rukia say no to a crying girl?

"Fine. Lead the way." The girl nodded and started walking towards the city center without even trying to help Rukia carry her friend. Thanks for nothing. What does she think I am? The Wonder Woman? At least help me carry my bag.

Ten minutes later, they reached the back door of a coffee shop. A very fancy coffee shop to be exact. Rukia dropped him on the couch, of what seemed like the staff room. She was about to leave, when she heard someone calling for her attention.

"Excuse me Miss."
