The two got dressed and out of their night ware. She was dressed in a purple sun dress and black flip flops. He wore baggy jeans that sagged a little (But not so it showed anything indecent... like underwear you nasty pervs) and a white t-shirt. The same shoes as always were laced on his feet.

She brushed her hair and teeth, while he straightened up his hair to make his bed head a little more presentable for the public. He brushed his teeth after she was done with the sink and then they made they're way outside.

"So.. watcha gonna tell them?" She said as she poked his arm as they walked down the street.

"Me? No, you! I don't know what to say!"

"And you think I do? You never thought about it before? You're only like a thousand years old!"

"No. Its not something I think about when I have no one to talk to. Why would I think about a conversation like that?"

"I don't know, maybe its that you were going to change someone into a vampire and you never thought of how to explain it to anyone?" She said.

"I'm a dude! I don't think about ANYTHING before I do it!"

*Sigh* "Well you can try now can't you. Help me think."

"You were abducted by aliens and I came with you to help you get back home..." He said shrugging his shoulders and grinned.

"What ever you do, let me do the talking." She said seriously.

"Fine... be that way." He said childishly.

"We should just tell him. It would be easier."

"My idea was better than that."

"Well, how am I going to explain my disappearance for like three days and you?"

"I. Don't. Know."

"You're so helpful..."

She said as she stopped in front of the Kurasaki house. She stepped up to the door and knocked lightly before she entered. She looked around at an empty living room.

He followed her in and looked around.

She took one step before her face was covered by red hair and breasts that were not sufficiently covered for her liking. The hug was turned into a smothering chamber as the woman bounced up and down in delight.

"OH RUKIA! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WE'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!"

She pulled away to look at her old friend who was smiling like an idiot.

"Hey, Rangiku. I was uh..."

There was a large crash coming from the stairs and all three looked up to see Kon falling down the stairs followed by the orange headed boy that was steaming with anger.

"What th hell's wrong with you?" He shouted at the stuffed animal.

"What is that?" Alexander whispered in Rukia's ear.

Rangiku cleared her throat loudly to get his attention, obviously annoyed that he hadn't noticed the new arrivals.

He looked up from his cussing fit at the animal and saw the very short Rukia standing next to the towering black haired man.

"Hey, whats up man?" Alexander asked as he was elbowed in the chest.

"Rukia?" He shouted as yet another crash could be heard from upstairs. There was a flash of red and suddenly her life long friend was in front of her staring at the man next to her.

"Who's this?" He said angrily.

"Uh, Renji..." Ichigo approached the party and stood next to Renji.

"Yeah, care to explain where the hell you have been? We have a whole search party for you!"

"She's been with me. Got a problem with the rules then take in up with the headmaster." Alexander said as he pushed his way in front of Rukia. Even Renji and Ichigo had to slightly look up at him. Rukia was shocked at how protective he was all of the sudden.

"Oh, come on guys.. there is so much testosteron in here its hard to breath." Rangiku said as she waved her hand in front of her face.

"Yeah, does it look like she is hurt? No. So back the hell off." He said sternly.

"Just who is this guy Rukia?" Renji asked as he let his temper die down some. He knew he would most likely do the same if he were in the stranger's position.

"Uh, Renji. This is Alexander. He's a friend of mine."

Alexander cleared his throat. "Friend?" He asked over his shoulder.

She sighed. "Boyfriend." She said softly hoping no one would hear. But her luck the whole room did. He just grinned at their reactions.

"WHAT?" Renji and Ichigo both yelled at the same time.

Rangiku started to clap her hands and giggle. "Bout time girly! Second year of high school already you know!"

The door opened behind them and Rukia put her face in her hands as her raven haired brother walked in the door.

"No sign of..." He said as he looked up and studied the situation. "Never mind."

"Byakuya! Rukia's got someone she would like you to meet!" Rangiku exclaimed happily. Rukia shot her a death glare that Medusa would be impressed by.

The older brother looked up and studied the man in front of Rukia. Him and the man were about the same height, and he didn't like it.

"Um, this is Alexander." She said her face heated in her palms.

"YEAH HER BOYFRIEND!" Both Renji and Ichigo yelled.

Byakuya's face darkened as he looked at the two. He folded his arms and just starred knowing Rukia would know what he was thinking.

"Meeting the family...always fun." Alexander mumbled to himself.

Trying not to be rude even though he was very frustrated he walked over to the black haired man and held out his hand. Byakuya looked at him like he was crazy for a second until he took the hand and shook it. Rukia's jaw hit the floor.

"You look like you're the only one with some sense, so I'm Alexander."

"Byakuya Kuchiki."

The group just stared at them with eyes the size of basketballs and mouths gaped open where flys could not only fly in, but gather in clusters.

"So whats this I hear about boyfriends?" He said angrily as he realesed his hand.

Alexander's eyebrows separated as he scratched the back of his head and looked at the ceiling.

"Yeah, I'm guessing you're her Dad or something?..." Byakuya's eye twitched a little at the sound of what he would call an old joke.

"Uh, how bout we all just all sit down and we can talk. Its been a long day... more like long ten minutes." Rukia said as she waved to the couches in the living room. Renji, Ichigo, and Rangiku took the largest couch leaving the chair and the love seat. She and Alexander took the love seat while Byakuya took the chair.

"So...uh..let me introduce everyone. Everyone, this is Alexander. Alexander, this is Ichigo my former room mate, Renji my old friend, Rangiku my girlfriend, and Byakuya my BROTHER." She said emphasizing the last word. He looked over to the long black haired man and tried not to laugh at the mistake he had made, but then he saw the look he was getting and cuddled back into the couch in a attempt to look small.

"So where have you been Rukia, and how did you two meet?" Rangiku giggled knowing Rukia didn't want to talk about the subject.

As Rukia made some stuff up about a train ride, he felt something in the pit of his stomach. He felt his fangs which we're dripping with hunting venom. He looked around the room to find something to distract him from the thirst in his throat and the various aromas in the room. He noticed the door across the room led to a bathroom. He got up without a word and went into the bathroom.

Rukia along with everyone else looked at him in surprise. He practically slammed the door off its hinges closing it.

He splashed water on his face from the sink and looked at his eyes in the mirror. They were flickering between red and black. The streaks of blood color taking control over his irises.

He heard a small knock on the door and he wiped the bit of sweat of his forehead. He needed to feed and badly.

"Yeah.." He answered quietly and hoarsely.

"Are you okay?" He wanted to say no.

"Yeah... just give me a minute. My head hurts." He said so he new only she could hear.

He breathed in and walked out the bathroom and out the front door. He didn't breath so he didn't smell anything.

"You stay." He said behind him. She looked at him as he swiftly left the house.

"What was that all about?" Renji asked.

"He... got a bad phone call." She said quietly knowing it was a lie.

"Is everything alright?" Rangiku asked.

"Yeah, he should be back in a few minutes." She said quietly again. She hated to lie even though she knew she had to. She sat back down and they started their conversation which faded from the topic of Alexander after a while.

"I haven't watched TV in a few days so I didn't catch it." She said talking about the premier of a new reality show on MTV.

"Oh, you didn't. That sucks." Rangiku said as she puckered out her bottom lip.

"Did you hear about that Fredrick guy? He was found all bit up in an alleyway."

Her heart sank. It most have gotten to the news or something.

"Yeah, me and Orihime found this guy that was on the street. He had these weird bites marks on his neck. Looked like some kind of animal." Ichigo said as he pointed at his neck.

"Oh, was it a man with black hair? I think I saw that on the news." She said trying to show concern.

Rangiku spoke this time. "Yeah, he was kinda short but he had such a cute face. Poor guy didn't remember what happened."

Byakuya seamed to have caught something.

"You said you saw it on the news?" He asked Rukia.

"Yeah.. So what?"

"You said you haven't watched TV in a few days."

"Well I did a little." The room was all looking back and forth between who was talking.

"The news came on the same time that reality show did. You, Orihime, and Rangiku have been talking about that premier for weeks."

"And?"

"Why would you watch the news instead of watching that show?"

Damn it... was he starting to figure it out? He had always been on the bright side.

"I don't know." She said trying to not get panicky.

"You wouldn't. That means that you knew from something other than the news. There was nothing in the newspaper and you haven't talked to us in days. So how would you know unless you saw what happened?"

"Uh..." The whole room was staring at her.

"And now you come back with some guy that you say you met on a train. Since when did you ever need to go on train or anywhere near a train?"

"Byakuya.. I'm sure you're suspicious over nothing. Alexander could have told her about it." Rangiku said reassuringly.

"And why did she meet Alexander? I have never seen him before and now he's hooked up with my sister. Tell me something, what was the real reason he had to leave Rukia."

Rangiku couldn't come up with something for that. There was indeed something wrong with the situation.

"I told you, a bad phone call."

"His phone never rang. It never buzzed. And I never heard him talk in the bathroom." Byakuya said harshly. He had caught every flaw in her excuses.

"What is going on with him Rukia?" He asked knowing she had an answer. The way she didn't look at him was giving it away. She hadn't even noticed he had stood up.

Then there was a knock on the front door.
