-Lost Friend and a New Enemy-

Tuesday:
Rukia's POV:

"Wake up!" I shouted standing above Toshiro.

Ichigo grabbed the blanket he was on top of and pulled it off. Toshiro flipped off and crashed down on the floor grunting. "Leave me alone!" he muttered, on the floor, covering his eyes his with his arm and grunting because of the bright light.

I stepped on his face "Get up turd!"

He opened his emerald green eyes in a flash, anger filled them slowly and they turned the dark cerulean blue he had when he was mad. "GET YOUR FREAKEN FOOT OFF MY FACE!!!" he shouted.

I grabbed a piece of bread I had brought from the kitchen when me and Ichigo had breakfast and shoved it in his mouth. "Shut up and get ready" I hissed giving him the Kuchiki glare.

Ichigo laughed.

Toshiro sat up and ate the last bits of bread, "Thanks for all your love and care, I will surely come back tomorrow." he said sarcastically.

My cell phone rang. I checked the collar ID and Orihime's name was on it. "It's from Orihime," I said looking at the two boys. I pressed talk and put the phone next to my ear "Hello?"

"Kuchiki-Chan…" she was crying "I need to talk to you about Kurosaki-kun." She said in small whimpers.

I looked at Ichigo, and my eyebrows furrowed. "Ya, what about?" I asked Orehime, worried and confused at the same time.

"You know I-I like him, but h-he…" her voice trailed off, the sound of her sobs covering the static. The thing she trying to tell me was really hurting her, she never cried unless it was about Ichigo or a close friend to her.

"Orehime are you ok?" I asked worried. 'Whatever she is trying to say must be hard on her. I wonder why…?'

She continued with a huge sniff before finishing her sentence. "He loves you…" she whispered. I could hear oceans of tears filling her eyes. 'her heart must have been broken like a twig, just because of a stupid lye. She her must have felt horrible, but I don't want her too, I want to have the over-excited Orihime back, with her crazy foods and her goofy grin, and the smile she did when she would talk about a new disgusting food she discovered. The one thing I didn't get was why would Ichigo like me? I had a crush on him in middle school but I never thought he like me, I mean really, two people shouting at each other 24/7 isn't really a good couple pairing, isn't it? ARGH what the hell am I thinking Ichigo doesn't like me, we are just friends, and I don't like him… right?'

My eyes widen, I looked at Ichigo and Toshiro to see if they heard anything.

No.

I left the room and slammed the door shut. "Come on, me and him are always fighting, how can he love me?" I asked hoping to give her, her perky self back.

"I-I saw it in his eyes," she said "yesterday, when he was protecting you, his eyes were determined... He cares for you Rukia!" she said her words cracking in the part where she said 'caring' and 'Rukia'.

I took a deep breath hoping to forget about all this nonsense later. "He just worries about me too much, we are childhood friends." No way, he would never like me! Ichigo and I were just friends and we were never physically attracted to each other, were we?

"Do you like him?" she asked.

That question caught me off guard "I-I don't know… I like him, but… I am not sure what kind of 'like' it is." I answered hesitant at the question. 'Did I just say I liked him? Aww crap! Why the hell did I do that?!'

"I see, so… Momo was right…" the line ended.

"ORIHIME!!! Orehime don't hang up!" too late. The phone disconnected leaving the static to take over.

XOXOX

The bus came around the corner. Ichigo, Toshiro, and I went in. Instead of Toshiro hanging out with his friends in the back of the bus he stayed with me and Ichigo.

"So, what's new today?" I asked trying to forget about the whole Orihime incident.

"Nothing much, same as usual." said Ichigo casually shrugging.

"We have practice today again are you coming?" Toshiro asked me raising a brow.

"Do I have to?" I asked.

"Yes." They said at the same time with the same serious expression on their face.

I laughed "Ok I will stay." The entire bus ride was hectic, seniors flying paper planes everywhere, and Juniors texting like their lives depended on it, and the bus driver (who I think wasn't actually registered to drive a bus) was playing super loud punk rock music on the mini stereo he bought. It was the best bus ride ever!

As we got off the bus Rangiku was waiting for me. "HI KUCHIKI-CHAN!" she said waving her hand in the air.

I waved me hand back "Good morning!"

Toshiro walked near me and asked "So you two are friends now?" he said trying to whisper so that Rangiku wouldn't hear.

"Why wouldn't we be?" I asked confused.

"Never mind," Toshiro said putting his head in his hand.

Rangiku walked up to me "Hey Kuchiki, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Umm, sure." I replied and walked off with Rangiku.

"Should we fallow her?" asked Ichigo.

"I don't know that might be dangerous." said Toshiro.

"Well the worst that can happen is Rangiku giving us a death hug, or Rukia beating us up with her Chappy mail box…" Said Ichigo, re-thinking about the last thing he said.

Toshiro nodded "We'll wait."

XoxoX

As Rangiku pulled me to the hall she stopped grabbing me by the shoulders and looking me straight into my navy eyes. "Rukia, we are friends right?"

I nodded "Of course!"

"Well Momo thinks you're trying to steal Toshiro away from her, and she convinced Orehime that you're trying to steal Ichigo away as well." She said whispering he gray eyes glimmering brightly in the florescent lights.

"Toshiro and Momo are dating?" I asked.

"They were, but he broke up with her because all she talked about was Aizen." Rangiku explained shrugging.

"Who is Aizen?" I asked another question.

Rangiku chuckled and patted my head. "You're so cute! Anyway, Aizen is one of Momo-san teachers, and well Momo is his pet in a way, get it?"

I nodded.

"Well I just wanted to warn you." She said.

"Thanks," I smiled. "We will talk later, right?"

"TOTALLY!!!" Rangiku left as she said that, boys staring at her, drooling (and flooding) the hallway. Rangiku, of course, enjoyed the reactions and mostly, the attention.

My locker was close by so I opened it and got my stuff, but then I saw Orehime, she had changed lockers, her locker was now next to Momo Hinamori. The two girls were talking and laughing at each other's lame jokes. I stared, feeling like I had lost a friend.

"Yo, Kuchiki!"

I turned around at the sound of my name; it was Toshiro, walking towards me with his hand in the air as a sign of greeting. "Ya, do you need something?" I asked.

"Nah, I was just checking to see how you were." He replied.

"Well I am fine… for the moment." I said jokingly with a smug smirk.

He smiled and shook his head right to left "Weirdo…" he muttered.

"HEY!!! I AM NOT A WIERDO!!!" I said sticking up for my-self.

He laughed and rolled his eyes "You're the same as always."

"You say it like you have known me since I was a kid, are you sure you're not a stalker?" I asked smiling.

"Ha-ha very funny, now let's get on with our lives." he said.

Momo came up to us. "Hi Shiro-Chan!" she said stepping in front of me.

"Hinamori, can you please step aside? I was talking to Rukia." He said trying to control his temper by clenching his fist and releasing his grip repeatedly.

"Since when have you started calling me Hinamori?! CALL ME MOMO!" she said, having her 'I-am-more-important-than-you-tantrum'.

"I don't have to call you 'Momo', if I don't want to, so can you go?!" he said shouting a bit.

"Hinamori-san, I think Toshiro-Chanis right." I said stepping next to Toshiro and purposely using the word 'Toshiro-Chan' to piss her off.

"Since when did you start calling him 'Toshiro-Chan??" " she started yelling.

Toshiro stepped in front of me." I think you should go…NOW!!!" he said.

Momo was on the verge of tears. "Fine, you like her more than you like me! I get it!!!" she left.

I looked up at Toshiro. "Hey snowflake, is she going to get over all this?"

"Snowflake??? Are you referring to me?" he asked surprised.

I nodded "Is there a problem? I call Ichigo 'Carrot Top' or 'Strawberry' all the time." I said, wanting to laugh so badly at his reaction.

"Ya, there is a problem, I hate when people call me nick-names!" he said.

"Well Ichigo hates it too but I still call him that! Plus Momo calls you 'Shiro-Chan', so I think I have the right to call you Snowflake" I said staring at Toshiro.

"Never call me snowflake again…" he said darkly.

"SNOWFLAKE! SNOWFLAKE! SNOWFLAKE!" I yelled.

"SHUT UP!!!" he shouted.

I laughed "you need to loosen up!"

"Do not…" he muttered crossing his arms.

"So do you think Momo will be all right?" I asked.

"She will be fine, that girl never gives up" he said with a lack-off expression on his face.

"Ya, your right, snowflake!" I patted him on the back.

"Why do you treat me like some kind of kid?!" he shouted.

"Cause its fun!!!"

The bell rang.

"We better get to class." He said.

I nodded and fallowed him.

OXOXO

As we entered the class, I saw Orihime flirting with Ichigo. I sat down at my desk and instantly Ichigo was talking to me.

"Rukia, where were you?" he asked.

I glanced at Orihime, she looked hurt. I looked at back at Ichigo "I was getting my stuff, Carrot Top." I said purposely adding the 'Carrot Top'

"I told you not to call me that!" he said.

I laughed. "But it's fun!"

"For you, maybe" he gave a small chuckle. "Are we still on for the movies later?" he asked.

I nodded "How about we move it to today, cause, I am free."

He smiled "Great!"

The bell rang for a second time. Class had started.

Orehime stared at me the whole class period. I felt really uncomfortable. After the class period, I went off to CPR class, strangely Toshiro was there too. "What are you doing here, snowflake?" I asked him confused.

"Oh the Teacher signed me up for it; don't ask me why." there was a small silence "HEY! Don't call me snowflake!"

I laughed and sat down next to him.

The Teacher, Mrs. Youroichi (she was also the P.E teacher) wasn't there, so Kazuya Hagiwara, the doctor in training at the local hospital was teaching the basic laws of drowning, choking, and treating promo active health problems. (A/N: Thanks athenaphoenix17 for the OC! Oh and I don't know where 'Promo active Health Problems' came from it just sounded smart and I didn't know what else to put ^^')

Kazuya had spiky brown hair, with transparent blue eyes, he was at least in his late 19's or early 20's and he had the goofy grin Ichigo had when he was a kid. He was at least an inch or two taller than Rangiku, and he was still in college or close to passing it at least. I also noticed he had a pair of black Converse (some things never go out of style ^^).

Toshiro yawned every once in a while, but I was stuck in my notes I wanted to get every bit of detail. The community pool was having a huge opening this weekend and I wanted to be ready for anything.(Isn't dealing with Ichigo and Toshiro enough?) Apparently, not.

The Teacher called me to the front, I got up hesitant. "Yes sir?" I asked confused and curious.

"Lie down on the table." Said Kazyua, pointing to his big brown desk.

"Excuse me?" I asked, raising a brow and not believing him. 'Why does he want me to lie down on a table, isn't that what dummies are used for? Oh ya, our principle wasted all the money on the football team… Great…'

"Lie down on the table." He said again with a small smirk and a glimmer in his eyes.

"Umm ok…" I sat on the table and laid down. It was cold, the wood from the desk practically beat Byakuya's cold glare, and the only view I had was the ceiling, the plain white, spitball covered ceiling, fantastic…

"You!" he pointed at Toshiro who was playing with a straw that was in his mouth.

I caught on quickly. '...Holy shit... Please don't!!!'

Toshiro pointed at him-self dropping the straw from his mouth. "Me?" he asked, his green eyes widening in confusion.

"Of course, who else?" said Kazuya. "Do CPR rule 1." He said simply.

He got up, (personally I thought he would complain), but not a peep came out of him, he was completely silent which was totally NOT like him. He went right in front of me and looked at the teacher.

Kazuya nodded giving Toshiro the go-ahead.

I felt uncomfortable again; he leaned down and whispered "This is what you get for calling me snowflake." I wanted to punch him so badly. He put one hand over the other on top of my stomach, he pressed down two times. He checked for my plus, and then even more uncomfortably plugged my nose. I heard the class rise from their seats

'...Great, an audience…'

My eyes flickered from Toshiro to the Teacher, trying to give Kazuya some sort of hint to stop it all before some crazy commotion happened and I was stuck trying to fix the big mess. He leaned down, students gasped. I could have sworn I heard some girls squeak and cuss. His lips press against mine. They were cold but soft, not as comforting as I thought, though. He put oxygen in my mouth, it wasn't the greatest feeling world I can tell you that much. After the 30 second mark, he stopped breathing in my mouth, and his hand was not plugging my nose anymore, instead his lips were just against mine and his hand was against the table holding him-self up so he wouldn't crush me... Again…

Kazuya stuttered "T-Toshiro I think that's enough."

"Mhmmhmmm…" was all that came out of his mouth, he really wasn't paying attention.

This was fully an awkward silence…

The class gasped. I heard the door open, there was a scream, I looked back at the door, and Toshiro looked up.

It was Momo Hinamori, great…

Toshiro looked down at me, then at Momo, then back at me.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SHIRO-CAN!!!" she yelled choking out.

"CPR," he replied blankly looking back at Momo blinking innocently.

'...Liar…'

I was still pinned to the table, "Umm, can I get up now, snowflake?" I said referring to the arm that was locking me down to the table.

"Umm… Ya, sorry," He muttered helping me up.

Momo was furious; you could see it in her wild looking brown eyes that seemed to turn black "You bitch! You do want to take Toshiro away from me!!!" she yelled tears running down her eyes, along with that crappy, one dollar, mascara that they probably got at the Dollar General. Did she know we were in a CPR class? Or is she really that stupid, and actually thought two students would be making out on a Teacher's desk? Me and Toshiro no less!

"Toshiro is yours? Last I checked you were all over Aizen." I said I wanted to piss her off. To tell you the truth I had no personal grudge against Momo, it's just that she was one of those girls who thought the world revolved around her, and it was all about her. I really didn't care if she hated me or not, I just wanted to give her a taste or the REAL world, not the fantasy she was living in with her precious Aizen, who probably didn't even like her the way she like him.

The students gasped at my response. Come on they wanted to say it too!

"Look, Hinamori we were just demonstrating for the class." Toshiro was trying not to make uproar.

"DEMONSTRATING MY ASS!!!" she yelled, her hands clenching into fist, and was it just me or where her eyes turning into a pitch red color?

The Teacher noticed and said "Hinamori, leave now."

She left crying… again.

"That girl never runs out of tears does she?" asked Kazuya, crossing his arms and taking the words right out of my head.

Toshiro and I looked at each other and shrugged.

The bell rang class was dismissed.

I was packing my stuff, while the whole class was practically gone, and I was the last student in the room. "Kuchiki-san," Kazuya said "Can I talk to you?" he asked.

I got my bag and walk up to his desk "Sure," I said. 'I wonder why he wants to talk to me?'

He scratched his head with his right hand and was he blushing? "Kuchiki-san, I was wondering if…" he stopped for a while not looking at me directly in the eyes. "I-if, you would like to get some dinner, sometime… with me, of course…" he said his translucent blue eyes finally reaching my navy ones.

I smiled "Sure, but I have plans today, so how about another day?" I asked. 'Maybe he wants to talk about my training?!'

A smiled appeared on his face and he brushed his spiky brown hair back. "Great!" he said "Can I get your number so I can call you later?" he asked.

"Sure!" I said pulling out a piece of paper from my back pack and writing down my cell number. 'Maybe he will tell other medical people about me and I can get better opportunities!' I handed the piece of paper with my number on it to Kazuya "Here," I said totally not getting the point of the dinner date.

He took it and grinned "Thanks, Kuchiki-san."

I smiled "Call me Rukia," I said "I don't like it when people are so formal to me, it feels uncomfortable." I said.

"Kay, well, see ya!" he said waving his hand and grabbing his stuff.

I nodded and left, finding Toshiro waiting for me at the door of the class "What were you talking about?" he asked, walking along beside me.

"Why?" I asked a bit confused.

"I was just asking." he said a little hurt.

"Oh ya, remind me to call Mr. Hagiwara later." I said smiling.

"Why?" he asked.

"None of your business, it's just some Job interview he is going to do for me." I said not getting the real point of the dinner date he asked me too.

He smiled back "Sure," he said sarcastically "a 'job interview', I guess that's what they call dates, now a days."

I rolled my eyes "It's not a date, we are just having dinner." I said.

"Well that's what you think; he might actually think it's a date."

"I doubt that he's a college doctor, why would he be interested in a high schooler?"

He just stared at me.

"What's up? Are you sleepwalking?" I asked stopping and waving my hand in front of him.

"No, it just, even though we met two days ago, I feel like I have known you forever." He said his emerald eyes turning cerulean.

"That's a lame catch phrase," I said laughing a bit, "to tell you the truth I always thought you were a jerk, now I know that you a jerk and an idiot." I said smirking.

"You never give up, do you?" he said shaking his head and chuckling.

"NOPE~" I smiled and started walking again.

We met up with Ichigo. "Hey did you guys know that we are having a prep rally today?"

"So soon?" I asked. 'What kind of school has a prep rally the first week of school, seriously what's up with this school?!'

Ichigo nodded. "Are you going to stay?"

"Sure why not, it's a chance to ditch practice." said Toshiro smiling.

All three of us walked to the gym were the rally was kept. There were students everywhere with signs and they were all wearing the school colors, blue, and gold. "Wow it so cool!" I muttered in awe of the once lame/crappy gym that had turned into a beautiful stadium.

"I will get the food." said Toshiro going the other way.

Ichigo and I walked in together; Orihime was there in a millisecond. She stared at us as we walked in the big building together. She ran up to us. "Hi Kurosaki-kun!" she said, she was wearing a blue and gold mini top that had the picture of the Phoenix on it. All her stomach was showing, but she didn't seem to mind. She was also wearing a mini-skirt they were the same colors as the top.

"Hey Orihime," said Ichigo.

"How are you?" I asked smiling 'great, another awkward moment…'

She gave me a glare "I'm fine, no thanks to you!" her voice was rough, defiantly not the soft flirty voice she uses for Ichigo...

"What's your problem?" said Ichigo trying to sound polite as possible.

"Nothing, what makes you think I have a problem?" she said going into her flirty self again.

"Don't mind me; I will go get a seat." I said angry and hurt at the same time. I walked up the benches.

"Rukia, wait!" Ichigo fallowed me not giving a second thought about Orihime. He grabbed my arm.

"Let go… you two need to catch up…" I said not looking him in the eye.

"I can't do that!" he said.

I looked at him wide eye. "Why not!!?"

"I don't feel right with her, she is just too prissy" he said, his eyes were lighter now almost amber.

Orihime was on the edge of tears "TOO PRISSY?!!" she shouted. "I AM TOO PRISSY?!!!" she pointed to me "she is the one that is too BOYISH!, why can't you like a normal girl?!!!" tears leaked down her face, I could tell she was wearing cheap mascara.

Ichigo looked at her "When did you become a Momo clone?" he asked eyebrows , furrowed.

"Ichigo let me talk to Orehime…" I muttered going down the steps.

He stared at me confused.

I grabbed Orihime's arm and took her out into the hall where it was totally silent.

"I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!!" she shouted.

I gave her a tissue that Byakuya gave me in the morning before I left. It was jammed deep into my pocket. "Your mascara is running" I said calmly.

She took the tissue and wiped her face.

"Orihime…" I started trying to stay calm "you can't change a person just by yelling at them. You have to become friends and move up. Ichigo barely knows you. Yet he has known me for 3 years."

She sniffed. "But you and Toshiro-san have only known each other for TWO DAYS, yet you act like best friends, why is that?"

She had a point, I didn't know Toshiro for that long, yet we acted as if we were best friends. I sighed "I don't know, honestly, but I do know me and Ichigo were the exact same way, we would fight half the time and were always pissing each other off, I don't even know how we got this close." I took a deep breath and continued "but I do know that Ichigo would risk his life to save me, and I would do the same for him."

Orihime stared at me in disbelief, then her expression angered "Ok I will get Kurosaki to like me, even if I have to crush you, then let's see if he would rescue you!"

I didn't want to lose a friend especially Orihime, but it looked like things took a turn for the worst. "Do what you want; you're not the same Orihime I used to know!" I left her and opened the doors to the stadium. Ichigo waited for me.

"Rukes…" he muttered using the nickname he gave me in middle school.

"She won't give up, she really won't listen to me, I am worried Ichigo." I said as huge wave of saddness washed over my entire body. I honestly felt like crying, telling Ichigo everything, how I felt about losing a friend, and how Orihime took it all seriously but it was all a misunderstandind, I wanted to tell hime everything, but a Kuchiki girl never crys, and i was planning on keeping it that way, so i held back my tears, and most of all my words.

He rapped his hand around my shoulder, and led me up the stairs "Her old self will come back soon, Rukes."

We sat down at the last row on the top. I banged my head against the wall, starting to get a head ache from the lack of food that wasn't in my stomach. "I'm hungry…" I moaned.

Ichigo laughed "Live with it."

I glanced at him, my head still against the wall "Toshiro better come back with a vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate and wipe cream on the top." I said still moaning from the lack of food.

"You know we aren't made of money." he said.

My head started pounding harder "Make in a large cone with a burger on the side…" I moaned ignoring Ichigo comment completely.

He chuckled.

"Dip the burger in chocolate too," just as I said that Toshiro tapped my sides, I looked up.

He was holding a plain vanilla ice cream and a burger for us all to share. "They ran out of chocolate covered burgers so I got you this instead." He said grinning.

I quickly divided into the ice cream

"THANKS!" I practically took the whole top part of the ice cream off.

"We are going to share that you know"! Ichigo said taking a bit out of the burger.

Toshiro snatched the cone away from me and stated licking it.

"What's the big deal, Toshiro?" I said wanting my cone back.

"Who said this cone was yours?!!!" he said crunching down on the cone.

Ichigo laughed.

"But I am hungry…" I moaned.

"I know that's why I got you this…" he held out a bag of cotton candy

Tears of joy ran down my face, (not really but I felt like crying) "Thank You! Snowflake!!!" I opened the bag as it revealed the soft blue mouth watering goodness.

"Is she going to be ok?" Toshiro asked Ichigo.

"Who knows? But this might last a while" he answered.

Rangiku came. "Rukia-Chan!!!~" she gave me her death hug. "Let's get you dressed!"

"Dressed for what?" I asked, to late I was already being dragged down the stairs, then I realized my opened bag of cotton candy was still on my seat. "NO MY BABY!!!" I yelled referring to my cotton candy.

"Her baby?" asked Toshiro raising a brow.

"She treats her food like her kids." said Ichigo answering.

"Then she eats them?" Toshiro asked another question.

"Pretty much." said Ichigo chuckling. Toshiro shook his head in unbelief.

There was an announcement "All football players must go to the Gyms back hall, again, all football players must got to the Gyms back hall" there was a beep and the announcement ended.

"I guess that means us." said Toshiro getting up.

Ichigo nodded and went down the stairs joining the team.

XD XD XD

Meanwhile… "RANGIKU STOP IT!!!" I was being strangled by the woman's breast as she bear hugged me attempting to put the cheerleader outfit on me.

"Oh shut up!" she said putting the small top on me.

"I don't want to be a cheer leader!" I shouted, struggling against the woman, she was very strong…

She slipped the mini skirt on me "there" she said wiping her hands together. "You look so cute!"

"Thanks…NOW GET THIS CRUD OFF ME!!!" again I said this too late, she had already dragged me out the restroom and I was in the middle of the court standing next to her. The crowd cheered.

"Fallow my lead!" Rangiku whispered stating a position.

"No way in hell!" I whispered back.

Some music started.

"Too late…" said Rangiku smiling evilly.

I copied her position, as she started dancing I did the same.

'What the hell am I doing?!'

"Rangiku I am going to kill you later." I said fallowing her steps.

She chuckled "Murder me if you want, but I am so going to enjoy this."

The doors opened. All the Phoenix high football players ran out, wearing their football uniforms. Ichigo and Toshiro were running out as well, then, they saw me. Toshiro and Ichigo stopped in their tracks, gawking, as they saw me dancing along with Rangiku and the rest of the cheer leaders.

I looked back as I saw the football players run out the doors, Toshiro and Ichigo were also there. "Oh shit…" I muttered.

Ichigo's POV:

I gave a small chuckle and broke out laughing. 'What the hell is she doing?! Oh that girl is so confusing! Sigh, I guess Rukia will always be Rukia.'

Rukia glared at me, sticking out her tongue.

Toshiro gave a small gaping sound and a smile peered out of the corners of his mouth. We continued, fallowing the other player.

The announcer was standing in the middle of the court. Rangiku stopped dancing and went to sit down in the Cheerleaders corner, so did Rukia.

"Welcome, students we are gathered here today to celebrate the successful 10th year of Phoenix high." The announcer was starting to sound like one of those talk show host that would either host the funerals or like one of those Priest you see on TV.

Toshiro and I were staring at Rukia smirking, Rukia crossed my arms against her revealed stomach and turned to Rangiku.

Rukia and Rangiku's Conversation:

"Why did you make me do this?" Rukia asked with a glare and an scowl.

"I don't know I felt like it," she said shrugging. She looked toward the crowd "and they seem to really like you"

"It doesn't matter who they like, all I want to do is get out of this crappy clothes!!!" Rukia shouted just above a whisper.

Momo notice the crowd cheers, and got really mad. She went up to me and Rangiku "Look Masumoto, I don't know what you're trying to do, but get this runt off my Stadium!" she pointed to the door.

The announcer was too busy announcing to even acknowledge Momo's shouting. "We are proud to present the football team of 2014!" he shouted into the microphone.

"Since when was this your stadium, Hinamori?" Rangiku asked smartly.

Momo made an 'Argh' sound and left back to her seat crossing her arms in frustration.

"Good one Rangiku!" Rukia said giving her a high-five.

"Thanks," she said slapping my hand back.

The announcer continued "We give full gratitude to our two leading football players, Ichigo Kurosaki and Toshiro Hitsugaya!!!" All the girls in the stadium squeaked as the we stood up. The crowd cheered like crazy. 'Hehe, fangirls is just what Rukia hates, she is probably cussing about them (or us) right now!'

"Great, fangirls…" Rukia muttered, sliding down her chair.

Rangiku laughed.

I looked Toshiro and smiled wickedly, he smiled back, fully understanding my wonderful plan. Toshiro and I waved at Rukia smiling, but that was only the beginning of my master plan.

"Hi, Rukia!" I shouted, enjoying her reaction to the embarrassment.

"Thanks for coming!" Toshiro shouted too, fallowing.

Rukia hid her face out of embarrassment. "You two better knock it off." She said too herself, knowing that we couldn't hear her.

We sat back down. "Well that's all for today's pep-rally, students have a good day!" the announcer walked off and the football players walk back into the back hall.

Rukia's POV:

"Damn, football players…" I muttered.

Rangiku grabbed my arm and took me to the girl's locker room. "Rukia-Chan you did great!"

"I am glad you liked it cause, I am never doing it again!" I said.

"But the crowd loves you! You have too!" she pleaded.

I crossed my arms in a 'X' form "No way!"

"At least do it for the next game!" she said practically begging.

"Fine just one game!" I said giving in, 'There was no way of changing this girls mind!'

A cat-like smile appeared on Rangiku's face.

XoXoX

Meanwhile in the boy's locker room, Toshiro was chatting to one of his comrades. "Hey do you think that new cheerleader would go out with me?" the black haired man asked Toshiro.

Toshiro glared "I seriously doubt it Kaien."

The boy named Kaien crossed his arms "You just want her all too your-self."

"No way, Rukia is just a…" he couldn't finish.

"Ahhh, so her name is Rukia!" Kaien said.

Ichigo came out "Yo! Toshiro, Rukia is waiting for us!" he said, interrupting the conversation between boy named Kaien and Toshiro.

"Can I come along?" asked the Kaien, as he turned around to face Ichigo.

Toshiro was shaking his head 'no' behind Kaien rapidly.

"Umm, not really, she probably going to through a big fit and scream at us." Ichigo said trying to avoid the conversation.

"Oh, that's too bad…" said Kaien putting his hands on his hips.

"Ya, well we better get going" said Toshiro walking out the door with Ichigo fallowing.

The boys caught up with Rangiku and me in the hall outside the Gym.

"Yo, Ru-Ru!" said Ichigo waving his hand in the air.

"Ru-Ru?" Toshiro asked looking at Ichigo, confused.

He smiled "that's the second nickname I gave her in middle school, she hates it."

I trembled in anger when I heard that name. "ICHIGO!!!" I ran up to him. "I told you not to call me that anymore!!!" I shouted. Rangiku caught up with me.

"Yo! Cheerleader go do a dance for me!" said Toshiro waving his hand dismissively.

"Go rot in a corner!" I hissed back at him.

Ichigo laughed "Calm down."

"Why should I?!" I asked looking back at Ichigo. "You guys are trying to kill me from embarrassment!" I said nearly starting a fire.

Toshiro held up the left over cotton candy that I referred to as 'my Baby'. "Be a good girl and the bag is all yours." He said smiling wickedly.

"You demon…" I muttered.

Toshiro chuckled "You got that right."

Someone was behind me I could feel the shadow hovering over me, I saw Ichigo and Toshiro's expression change, they were mad. "Hey there, want to grab a bite?" It was a boy who had a somewhat-husky voice.

I turned around.

The boy was about the same height as Ichigo and had pitched black hair. His eyes were a deep brown color, they were just a bit darker than Ichigo's, even so, he had a somewhat-warm smile.

"Umm…" I muttered staring at the black hair boy. "Who are you?" I asked confused. 'Who is this guy, and why does he know me?'

He chuckled "Kaien Shiba, forward football player and one rock'en defender, if I do say so my-self." He bowed.

"Shiba, what are you doing here?" asked Ichigo, scowling.

"Just stopping by to meet the young mistress." He said smiling at me.

Toshiro snorted with laughter "Mistress?! More like monster!"

"Shut up or you're going to need surgery for all your body parts!!!" I said holding my fist in the air, threatening him.

"Calm down Rukia don't kill the captain." said Rangiku laughing.

"Wow she is feisty." said Kaien with a chuckle, everyone got serious again.

I looked around confused. "Is everyone alright?" I asked.

"Peachy…" said Toshiro staring.

"So what do you want to catch a bite with me or what?" asked Kaien, he was also glaring at Toshiro and Ichigo.

"Umm I can't maybe another time" I said smiling, and catching the dark aura from Ichigo, Toshiro, and Rangiku.

"Sounds good, catch ya later!" he left waving.

I turned around "What's up with you guys?" I asked, they were totally zoned out, why were they acting like that?!

Rangiku answered "Kaien Shiba, is…well how should I put this…?" she put her hands on her hips, thinking and looking at Toshiro for help.

Ichigo answered before anyone else could even mutter a word. "Kaien Shiba is a no-good double crosser, who would do anything for a little attention!!!" I could tell he was mad, no, more like furious, I could swear I saw a little steam come out of his nose and ears.

"You don't have to shout Ichigo…" Toshiro muttered checking his ears for any sign of ear damage.

"He doesn't look like he does that, he seemed nice almost." I said confused. 'Why would they think Kaien was bad? He looked rather ok, and from what I have seen, he is just trying to be nice.'

Rangiku sighed "Ya but last year his girlfriend got pregnant and well…" there was a silence, Rangiku looked around the room for help, nothing. She continued "Before she even delivered the baby he broke up with her and left her…" he said simply finishing.

"Oh well... the truth is out" said Toshiro his arms crossed and shrugging.

"Umm so what does that have to do with me?" I asked slightly confused.

"Rukia, your stupid when it comes to romance." said Ichigo sighing "It means that he wants to do you in"

I was confused still "Umm what does that mean?" I asked.

"He wants to do itwith you" said Rangiku.

"Excuse me?" I asked still not getting it. 'What are they talking about, seriously, cant they speak English?!'

"For damn sake Rukia!!!" Toshiro shouted losing patients. "He wants to have a sexual relationship with you!!!"

I was shocked "What the hell!!!" Was the first thing that came to my mind. "Knowing that now, I can't be left alone! Rangiku, can you stay with me?!" I asked pleading for help.

"I am 1 year older than you, we have different classes, sorry." she said shrugging.

I looked toward Ichigo and Toshiro "Please!"

They both sighed.

"Fine…but you have to promise to always come to our games and practices." Said Ichigo, his eyebrows raised. I nodded, agreeing to that. Toshiro smirked "and you have to buy us ice cream for the next month!" he said smiling widely.

My jaw dropped "No way!!! You eat Ice cream 24/7!!!"

He shrugged "Protection or no protection, your choice."

"Fine…" I crossed my arms "More like, hell or hell..." I muttered more too my-self than anyone else.

The bell rang.

School was over.

"We'll see ya!" I said waving.

Ichigo was in back of me.

Toshiro gave a small wave and turned around walking to his bus. We took different ones because of the new routes.

I looked up at Ichigo "So what movie are we seeing?" I asked smiling as I got on the bus.

"Whichever one you want." he said shrugging.

"Umm a chick-flick?" I asked wanting to see his reaction.

"NO!!!" he said almost shouting.

I laughed "I was just kidding, I hate chick-flicks." I thought for a while "I got it! Let's go see Legion!"

Ichigo looked at me confused. "You do realize that's a scary-demon-bloody movie right?"

I nodded "I love scary movies!"

"Suit your-self." said Ichigo smirking a bit.


I actually liked this chapter, but I think I could do better. Next time, what will happen when Ichigo and Rukia go to the movies together? Wait and find out!

Interview with Ichigo:

Me: So Ichigo, what are your feelings for Rukia in the Bleach TV show?

Ichigo: *scratches head* Well after Fade to Black, I started liking Rukia's stupid, stubborn, Chappy loving personality-HEY why am I telling you this?!

Me: I don't Care, but continue…

Ichigo: Well, Rukia has always been there for me and she always gets the best out of me, but whenever I get excited to see her, she ends up punching me or kicking me… WAIT STOP THAT!

Me: I didn't do anything, you can stop anytime you want… *Grins evilly* How would you feel if Rukia had a Vizard form?

Ichigo: Well I guess that would be pretty cool, I mean I did turn into a Vizard for her… CRAP! YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN! *leaves*

Me: Hehe… reverse psychology …
