CHAPTER 4
Are You Coming Or What?!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rukia sat in the couch in the living room. She is in a complete pressure. She received a phone call that she should be expecting. But, Rukia totally forgot about it. And now, she doesn't know what to do.
FLASHBACK
"Rukia-nee! There's a phone call for you!" Karin called out to her.
"Thanks, Karin." Rukia held onto the phone.
"Mosh, mosh?," actually, Rukia is not expecting a call from anyone, but she have this feeling that she is waiting for something, and the voice from the other line scared the soul out of her.
" Ahh, Nii-sama! Yes, ofcourse. I remember it. Yes, I'll be there. I don't have anyone yet. Yes, Nii-sama. I'll have some one by soon. Thank you, Nii-sama. Sayonara." Rukia breathe out heavily.
'Where in the world will I get an escort?! Damn!' Rukia thought about eating sleeping pills for dinner.
END OF FLASH BACK
Rukia still haven't thought about someone. And she received that phone call for about, a week ago. Tomorrow night, that high-social party will be held. Still, without a partner, her Nii-sama will be mad at her. And she doesn't want that to happen, never. And she wants her Nii-sama be happy. This is the first time she will see him in two long months. Then, he will leave again.
"Should I ask Renji?," She shook the thought out of her head. "No, I'm sure he's already with someone else already."
"What about Shuuhei?," She shook her head. "Nah, I'm also sure he got someone else also."
"Argh! I don't know what to do anymore! Maybe Keigo!" After she said it, all her hair went to the highest peak of the ceiling. "Gosh, I didn't I'm too much depressed to even think that."
'WHO! Who will I bring?! I can't let Nii-sama be mad at me,' Rukia closed her eyes and she thought again of the possible guy to bring.
'Who?'
'Who?'
'Who?'
"I'm going, Rukia." Rukia suddenly stood up when she heard the voice. She doesn't know what to say.
"Y-You will really come, Ichigo?" Rukia said, as if she was going to cry anytime.
"Ah, Y-Yes?" Ichigo said, almost asking her. He is confused at the reaction Rukia is giving him.
"I'm going out now,you said it, remember? That I have to inform you… if I'm going out today, because you're coming with me. Are you going or not?" Ichigo explained it to her.
Rukia's mind is still not processing to what Ichigo had said. Her mind was suddenly blurred from her happiness. She still wears the happy smile all over face, which Ichigo think is, disturbing. After a few seconds, it finally sinked in to Rukia.
"O-Oh, Yeah! I know, stupid! I-I'm just happy that I will go out of this house." Rukia said those to Ichigo almost shouting at him. Ichigo is still trying his best to understand Rukia's logic, but can't.
"Wait for me!... I'm going to change!" Rukia said cheerfully.
If only Ichigo noticed, that Rukia is only masking her true emotions.
'Can't believe it, I'm so happy and excited at that moment.' Rukia thought.

Ichigo and Rukia are walking in the mall. Ichigo already finished his task. And Rukia is still going through her window shopping. Ichigo is bored as hell.
"Hey Rukia, aren't you finish yet?!" Ichigo is not really fond of window shopping. Especially of dresses!
"Will you quit complaining there?! If you want, you can go home." Rukia is irritated at Ichigo; he already asked that, just 5 minutes ago.
"I can't do that. Dad will kick me out of the house if I'll do that." Rukia rolled her eyes.
"Then just pamper yourself. I can't concentrate." Ichigo is ready to pull her arm and drag her out. He is really not happy now. He is also pissed because of what happened earlier. Keigo and Mizuiro saw them while going out of the grocery store. And Keigo didn't let this opportunity slip.
FLASHBACK!!
"Hey! Ichigo! Nee-san!!!!!!!!!" Keigo approaching Rukia ready to hug her. But Rukia punched him before he done that.
"Ah, Sorry, Ichigo, Rukia-san. Asano-san is unstoppable, I told him not to disturb your date." Mizuiro apologize to them, Ichigo and Rukia is shocked at the statement, Mizuiro said it as if it's only natural to them that they're dating. They stayed frozen in their spot.
"Mizuiro! Stop being formal to me! I'm feeling that you're not accepting me as a friend anymore!' Keigo is whining in middle of the mall.
"Stop that Asano-san, you're embarrassing us. Well, bye Ichigo, Rukia-san." Mizuiro waved to them. Then drag Keigo away.
Rukia nd Ichigo are still frozen to their spots.
END OF FLASHBACK
Ichigo shuddered at the memory. He can't believe it. Everyone thinks the same. When that rumor spread the school, which only took a gap between Math and gym class, almost every girl in his school is whining. It really freaked him out.
Ichigo didn't notice that Rukia is almost finished with her shopping. And she is already paying at the counter. He is still busy having flashbacks.
"Oi Ichigo, I'm finish. Ready to go home?" Ichigo was snapped out of his memories.
" Yes," Ichigo's stomach protested, it blurted out the most embarrassing sound a stomach can give, " you like too eat?" Ichigo almost blushed to what he asked.
'It almost sounded you asked her that way.' Ichigo told to himself.
"Okay, where?" Rukia smiled at him, hiding the bigger smile she feels.
"Anywhere, where do you want?" Ichigo replied. Having the same expression… and feeling.

"I haven't eaten that for a long time! Their kimchi is the best!" Rukia patted her belly. She ate so many.
"Yeah! I will vomit anytime," Ichigo can't hold the foods in his stomach anymore. He is sweating. He will throw up if he moves.
"Eww, manners, please! Don't say that. There are people eating, you know." Rukia is disgusted.
But the truth is, Ichigo is really gonna throw up, maybe this is his karma. He just committed one of the 7 deadly sins. Gluttony. Ichigo is not really kidding this time, his visions is kinda getting blurred. And he is turning blue. Rukia didn't notice his dilemma. So, she asked the most unexpected question that will escape her lips.
"Ichigo, will you go out to a ball with me?"
That's the last resort. Ichigo threw up in his glass. His stomach had a sudden knot when she asked him. And he can't hold it anymore.
'Gosh, is my question is so much disgusting for him to throw up?' Rukia thought sadly.
"I-Ichigo? Are you okay?" Rukia patted the back of Ichigo, comforting him.
"Yeah, I just ate too much. Karma." Ichigo wiped his mouth. He is so embarrassed. Not only he threw up in front of Rukia, but also the whole restaurant is looking to him. He will sink to hell anytime.
"What did you asked again?" Ichigo is not dumb; he just wants to hear it again. It almost feels like happiness.
"Oh, never mind." Rukia is shy to tell it again. She gathered all her courage just to ask that question. And she will never ask it again.
"WHAT?!" Ichigo almost shouted at her, "I mean, what?" He said with a calmer tone. "Correct me if I'm wrong, I think you asked me out."
"What?! I didn't ask you out! I just don't have somebody to take to that ball. And its tomorrow, I'm really into a big pressure. If only I have some- What did you say?" Rukia was cut off by something she thinks, she heard.
"I said, I'll go" Ichigo repeated.
"Oh, Okay, thank you. And don't ever think that I owe this to you!! You choose this!" Rukia clarified it to Ichigo, to hide that she is really happy, and now for real.
"Whatever. Besides, I do want and chose to go with you." Ichigo smiled at his own statement. He actually feels weird for saying that things, and for some unknown reasons to him, he is relieved.
