YAY for the reviews! You guys are AWESOME! Here is yet another…short…chappie!

Insisted Invitation

I left school slowly and quietly. I made sure no more attention was brought to me despite being the new student that everyone wanted to stare at. As Soon as I left the school grounds I was bombarded by Rukia and Orihime.

"Hi! Can we walk with you?" They asked.

I nodded.

"So where do you live?" Rukia asked.

"Um I don't know the actual address yet but I know I live in that general area," I said as I pointed out the direction of my house.

"That's cool! Ichigo and I live over there too! His family runs a clinic in their house," Rukia said with a giggle.

"Orihime! Wait up!" A girl shouted at us.

We stopped and turned around.

A girl was running towards us at a quick pace. She almost looked like a boy if it wasn't for the small feminine figure she had. Her short hair was dark and she looked well muscled, but not too much, and had a lot of stamina. She wasn't even breathing hard when she stopped by us.

"Kai, this is Tatsuki," Orihime introduced.

"Hi Kai!" She said gleefully and stood on the other side of Orihime.

"Tatsuki is my best friend," Orihime said with a wide smile.

"And I protect her from perverted boys," she said as she did a strong karate kick. Obviously she took karate by the way she had performed it.

We continued walking to our little houses.

"I wonder where Ichigo is," Orihime wondered.

The guy with searching eyes that make me blush and freeze my insides...

"He is with Chad and Renji, I think they went to um...exercise," Rukia told her.

"Oh..." Orihime sighed and a sad looked flickered across her innocent face.

"Don't worry, they won't be long. We all were going to hang at your place tonight, right Orihime?" Rukia said with a warming smile.

Tatsuki watched Orihime carefully as she nodded slightly.

I turned the corner with Rukia and the other two kept on going straight.

We exchanged goodbyes and headed home.

"You can come too," Rukia said.

"It's alright, I'll just stay home," I said, carefully declining the invitation. It was already awkward enough at lunch today.

"No I insist! Look, we'll see where you live and I'll come pick you up later tonight, okay?" she said.

I nodded, afraid to decline again.

We stopped in front of my house and Rukia said her goodbyes as I entered m own unwelcoming house. My parents were never home but I was glad that they never were. We didn't have that parent-child bonding relationship. It had never existed in my small family.

I sighed as I dropped my bag on the floor and trudged up to my room to find something decent to wear.
