Hey! I'm actually thinking of keeping the title Love 2 but I'll change it if you guys want me too. If you do, tell me the name you want it to be and I'll consider it. Also another thing concerning the story, Renji lived with Rukia in Love but let's just say Byakuya gave Renji some money to live in an apartment, okay? I actually got this chapter up a lot faster than I thought at first.

Rukia Martinez- Glad that you liked it. Thanks for the review and the ideas!

Hanashi Tokoma- Yeah, I'm not used to writing long chapters but I will try to make them longer. Thanks for the review!

Charming Nature- Thanks for the review and for some ideas!

Shadow Pain- Glad that you liked it! Thanks for the review!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

Enjoy!~

New Bodyguard

.

.

.

The day after the two Kuchiki siblings, the protective bodyguard and the over-protective ex-bodyguard heard the news of the murder and criminal escaping prison with another criminal, they knew they must always be alert. Byakuya was making an important phone call (calling the new body guard) while Rukia was getting ready for the start of a new school year... the first day to be percise. Hisagi was in the kitchen eating, stating that he must eat to get energy to be able to protect while Ulquiorra was sitting on the couch watching the news to see if there were any reports about Grimmjow and Starrk.

"There has been no sightings of Grimmjow nor Starrk. The police officers have informed us that they could be after the Kuchiki's since they were the ones who sent Grimmjow to jail and we're assuming Starrk is working along side with him..." Ulquiorra put the T.V. on mute seeing that they're now talking about an old man who is turning one hundred years old. Quite a long life.

Ulquiorra sighed.' Everything was going so well, Rukia was happy with her new boyfriend and now Grimmjow escaped and is most likely after her. Great, just great.' Ulquiorra got up from the couch and went to get Rukia seeing that it was time for her to leave for school. He went to Rukia's room and knocked on the door. Rukia opened her door, holding her school bag. "Hisagi and I will go with you to your school." said Ulquiorra, moving aside to let Rukia out.

Rukia stepped out of her room. "What about my brother?" Rukia asked, worried that something will happen to him while Hisagi and Ulqiorra are protecting her.

Ulquiorra started walking, heading for the exit. "Don't worry about that. There's going to be a new bodyguard here."

Rukia nodded, walking along with him and met Hisagi at the door. Hisagi opened the door and said to Rukia. "Don't worry about Byakuya, the new bodyguard will be here in five minutes."

They walked to Rukias' school in silence, Hisagi always five feet in front of Rukia and Ulquiorra five feet behind her. They were walking like that to ensure her safety. Hisagi and Ulquiorra were looking closely at every person who looked the slightest bit suspious. Rukia, on the other hand, was lost in thought. 'I definately can't be near Toshiro or the others. For all I know, Grimmjow could hurt, even kill, someone else I care about. Why now? This is my senior year! My last year of high school and some criminal will most likely ruin it by ruining my life.'

They got to school and they saw the schoolyard empty. "Please don't tell me I'm late." Rukia groaned.

Ulquiorra checked his watch. "No, the late bell hasn't rang yet. Five more minutes, though."

"Good." Rukia walked into the school and headed to her class with Hisagi and Ulquiorra following.

"This must be it." said a massive, muscular man with an eye patch over his right eye and a huge scar running down the left side of his face. His hair is spiky with tiny bells on the tips.

A small girl with pink hair and big pink eyes looked over the mans' shoulder. "Kenny, it's huge!" The young girl looked at the house with wide eyes.

"Yachiru they're nobles, what do you expect?" Kenny said. He knocked on the door and waited five seconds before knocking once again. The door opened, reaveling Byakuya with an annoyed looke on his face.

"You must be Kenpachi Zaraki." Byakuya said in a cool, smooth voice.

"Heh," Kenpachi grinned, "I expected you to go hide in a corner in fear. Why do you need a bodyguard when you don't hide from me?"

"Not me. My sister. I hired you to protect my sister." said Byakuya in his cool voice but with slight annoyance.

Yachiru gasped and said in a loud ( and rather annoying voice to Byakuya's dismay). "Sister! Is she fun to be with? Can I be friends with her?" Yachiru looked at Kenpachi.

Before Kenpachi could even answer, Byakuya asked. "Who is she?"

"She's my adopted daughter, Yachiru. Now are you gonna make us stand here all day, or are ya gonna let us in?" asked Kenpachi.

Byakuya moved aside and let them in. Kepachi went to the living room and sat on the couch and put his feet on the coffee table. Byakuya wanted to snap at the unmannered man but he is considered the strongest man in Japan. He wants the strongest to protect his little sister. "So tell me about your little sister." said Kenpachi. Byakuya nodded and sat on the chair next to the couch.

Rukia opened the class door and walked in right when the late bell rang. "You're lucky, Kuchiki!" barked Ochi-sensei as she walked to the front of the class. Rukia only nodded and went to her desk. She considered herself lucky that she sat next to the window and her neighbor (the desk on her right) was Izuru Kira. They spoke but mostly only when he was with Momo. In front of her was Yumichika and behind her was Ikkaku, who was mostly in detention for all the fights he got in.

Rukia felt someone(s) gaze on her but she didn't looked around knowing already who it was. Rukia ignored the gazes and listened to Ochi-sensei. On the other hand, a certain white haired boy was worried about his lovely girlfriend. A crumpled piece of paper landed on his desk. He looked around and he stopped at the orange strawberry, Ichigo. Ichigo motioned with his hands to Toshiro to open the note. Toshiro did and read it.

Something's wrong with Rukia. When she walked in she looked disturbed and worried. We need to talk to her. -Ichigo

Toshiro got his pencil and wrote. Yeah I know. We'll talk to her at lunch. -Toshiro

He looked at Ochi-sensei to make sure that she wasn't looking and then threw the note back to Ichigo. Ichigo read it and gave a nod to Toshiro.

Rukia looked outside the window and she saw Grimmjow. Rukia gasped. Loudly. "Kuchiki, what's wrong?" Ochi-sensei asked Rukia. Rukia noticed the confused looks she was getting from her classmates.

She took a glance out the window and she didn't see Grimmjow. "Nothing." Rukia said and Ochi-sensei got back to the lesson. Once Ochi-sensei attention was directed back to the class, Rukia put her head in her hands. 'I need to calm down. It was only my immagination.' Rukia took a deep breath and looked back at Ochi-sensei and started writing her notes. Toshiro couldn't concentrate on his notes, he was too worried about Rukia.

The lessons before lunch were able to take Rukia's mind off Grimmjow, but when the bell rang, she knew at lunch her friends would be asking her alot of questions. She inwardly groaned. She got her bento and walked slowly to the roof. Her friends were already sitting down, chatting and on Toshiros' right was her spot. Instead of sitting with her friends and next to Toshiro, she sat near the fence of the roof. "Why isn't Rukia sitting with us?" Orihime asked looking at Toshiro.

Toshiro sighed. "I don't know." They looked at her but Rukia didn't notice. She was too busy picturing the new bodyguard.

'Maybe he has an afro. A purple afro! That'll be so cool! With a mustache! And black sunglasses. He has to be strong and muscular. And tall. Definately tall. A short bodyguard wont do any good.' Rukia gasped, causing the others to look at her. But the reason Rukia was gasping wasn't because of something bad. 'Oh no! I'm making fun of short people! Including me! Ahhh! How could I?' Rukia was interrupted by someone.

"Rukia?"

Rukia snapped out of her thoughts while saying out loud. "I didn't mean it! Short people are cool!" Rukia put her hands in front of her as if she was protecting her.

Toshiro was confused. 'Short people?' "Rukia what are you talking about?"

"Huh?" Rukia looked up (she was sitting down, while Toshiro was standing) and her eyes widen. 'When did Toshiro get so tall?... Oh wait, he's standing.'

"Rukia? Rukia? Are you okay?" asked a worried Toshiro.

Ichigo, who was standing next to Toshiro, muttered. "I think she finally lost it." Toshiro shot Ichigo a cold glare which made Ichigo shut his mouth.

"Oh! Yeah I'm fine." Rukia said. She stood and walked backwords to the door saying to Toshiro and the others, "Look at the time! Class is almost going to start and I need to go to the bathroom." She turned and ran down the stairs.

The others definately knew something was wrong. 'Rukia. Why aren't you telling me what's wrong? Don't you trust me?' Toshiro thought sadly.

"So the murder Grimmjow Jaggerjack is most likely after your precious sister and you want me to keep her safe?" Kenpachi asked to clarify. Byakuya nodded. Kenpachi looked at Yachiru, then asked. "One condition. You have to let Yachiru become friends with Rukia."

Byakuya didn't want his sister to be friends with the pink haired girl but if that needs to be done, then so be it. "Okay."

Yachiru squealed and yelled in her high pitch voice. "Thank you Bya-kun!"

Byakuya raised an eyebrow. 'Bya-kun?' Then he remembered his childhood friend, Yoruichi Shihōin. 'Yoruichi's nickname for me.'

"Kenny! Where's Ruru-chan?" Yachiru asked Kenpachi, eager to play with her new friend.

"School... where you should be too." said Byakuya.

"Nah, Yachiru doesn't need school. School's for brats who want to be moneyairs." said Kenpachi.

Byakuya narrowed his eyes at brats and the word moneyairs. "If you went to school, you would have know proper speech."

Kenpachi snorted. "Whatever."
