Hey everybody I know it was a long time since I reviewed sorry about that hope you forgive me I shouldn't hold you up any longer then now just hope you like this one, and Action!

"Wow this is great thanks Tatsuki!" Rukia smiled eating another sandwich off her plate.

"Thanks Rukes" she smirked.

'Yummy' Momo held up her pad smiling.

"Hey midget" Ichigo looked up at the sky leaning back.

"What do you want strawberry and stop calling me a midget?" she brawled her fist.

"You free today?" he looked at her.

"Yeah I guess, what's up?" asking curiously.

"Ichigo you better not try anything perverted to Rukia-chan" Tatsuki growled.

"My old man wants to see you"

"Huh your dad?"

"It seems like he misses having you around for your little visits" he rolled his eyes annoyed.

Tatsuki was a little depressed hearing Rukia agreeing going over to Ichigo's house while Renji stuffed his face full of snacks.

Rukia thought for a moment before answering "yeah I guess I can swing by to see him it's been a while since I saw him, I'll come over afterschool is that okay?"

"Do whatever you want" he shrugged acting like it wasn't a big deal.

"What the hell?" she yelled seeing the impressively large house that looked like it took up acres and acres of land.

"I keep forgetting how big this place is and this is only my second time being here since yesterday and back when we were kids" she weakly smiled.

"It's really a big deal midget?" he said looking back at her facial expression.

"Yeah it's been a while" Tatsuki nodded with Renji behind her.

"What the hell, I don't remember inviting you guys over here" Ichigo glared at the two aggravated.

"Hmph I had some free time to kill" she smiled.

"I really didn't want to come—oomph" Renji was jabbed in the gut by Tatsuki for speaking his mind.

"Yeah right" he threw his backpack over his shoulder leading the way to the front door of his mansion.

"IIIIcccchhhiiiggggoooooooooo" a loud voice cried out when the carrot top opened the door a foot came out smashing into the young Kurosaki's face introducing him to the ground. The teens were severely surprised by the welcome home Ichigo received.

Rukia looked up seeing a tall man with spiky black hair and brown eyes, with thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. He was wearing a white lab coat over a shirt and trousers.

"Hahahaha Ichigo, my Boy that isn't the way to speak to a woman. If you keep on talking to them like that I'll never have grandchildren. Have I thought you nothing?"

Isshin Kurosaki body was smash into the concrete by the front steps of the mansion by his sons' fist to the face leave a very noticeable fist print on his cheek.

"You fuckin bastard attacking your only son while coming home from school!" he growled at the elder Kurosaki.

Rukia giggled seeing the two Kurosaki's fighting as usual.

Isshin perked up again heard Rukia's giggle and rushed passed his angered son.

"Rukia-chan!" made a beeline strait toward the petite girl.

"Hi Oji-san!" she smiled.

"Daddy is so glad to have Rukia-chan back" Isshin yelped grabbing her hands in his as he looked in her eyes, "next time come talk to papa when Ichigo is being an annoyance again! Daddy will teach him how to love a woman" he said making Rukia blush while Ichigo pushed his father away from Rukia's hands.

"Let's see how well you gotten Rukia-chan" Isshin said about to swig at the black haired teen, while Rukia grinned about to kick back, but Ichigo intervened holding both his dad and Rukia back.

"What the hell are you two doing?" he glared at the two.

"I didn't do anything just seeing how good my third daughter got in her training so far" he cried on the cold concrete stomped on by his sons' foot.

"Yeah butt out Kurosaki" she insisted. He glared angrily at her, and then glared daggers at his dad still kicking him into the ground.

"Oh Masaki! Our insolent son is being mean to me again!" He wept.

"Something's never change" Tatsuki sighed with Renji.

"Whoa" all three of them said seeing the lush furniture and expensive antiques all around the different rooms. The young maid took Ichigo's bag from him while they followed him more inside the mansion.

"I can't take it anymore she's beyond my control" a teacher came down the stairs ready to leave.

"Please sensei" the maid tried to reason with her.

"I can't" the teacher responded. Rukia looked up seeing a blond haired green eyed girl on the top floor.

"How's the little girl up there?" she asked.

"That's my cousin Rurichiyo" he said looking back at her stunned face.

"You have a cousin that lives here?" she asked confused.

"Yeah, didn't you know Rukia?" Tatsuki asked.

"Yes, please go away and leave my sight at once you are not worthy enough to be in my presences" she announced.

"Hey little miss high and mighty that's now way to talk to an adult" Rukia glared running up the stairs in an instant. Rurichiyo saw her coming up and closed herself in her room, but that didn't hold Rukia she punched a huge hole through the wooden door.

'Oops' she thought embarrassed.

"Sorry about the door Oji-san" she grinned nervously.

"Don't worry about it Rukia-chan, Rurichiyo is a distant relative of ours that's visiting until she goes back home to Okinawa next summer she's quite difficult to understand right now since she is the soul hire to the great Kasumiōji Clan and both her parents have passed away brings a huge burden onto her part"

Rukia nodded understanding the young girls situation and where she coming from.

"Hey Rukia-chan, I have an great idea"

"Huh?"

"You're going to be teaching Rurichiyo?" Toshiro said

'I just can't take you seriously being a teacher' Momo wrote down

"What the hell?" Rukia shook her fist.

"Ichigo what the hell, you should be teaching Rurichiyo not Rukia" Tatsuki argued.

"Sorry but Rurichiyo get distracted by my dashing going looks to concentrate" he smirked.

"Oh my god you ego is suffocating the whole room" Rukia teased while the orange haired teen glared.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to Rukia we'll just hire a new teacher" he said typing on his lap top.

"Are you nuts your father asked this from me so I'll follow this all the way through no matter what" she nodded.

"Whatever" he kept typing on the keys.

"Do you have a proper licensee to even teach someone?" the blond girl asked.

"Um well no" Rukia said writing down the lesson and the scrap sheet of paper.

"Then get out of my sight incompetent fool" she pointed in Rukia's face. Rukia glared a clucked the young hire over the head with a heavy text book.

"Hey I should have you sued for that!" she yelled.

"Go ahead sue me" she yelled back. The two females glared at each other.

"I've should have know this was going to turn out a disaster" a voice came from the door. The two girls looked over seeing Ichigo arms crossed with a smirk on his lips.

"Beat it Kurosaki!" Rukia yelled at the orange headed teen.

"Fine, fine" he smirked while holding up his hands in surrender.

"Ichigooo" Rurichiyo whined jumping into his arms saying thing like Rukia picking n her and that Rukia even called her an idiot.

"What, no I didn't" the young Kuchiki glared at the blond brat lying on her.

"Iiiccchiiiggoo!" his father yelled coming into the room in tears.

"What do want now?" he frown at his dad weeping.

"There's an office associates meeting and I can't do this alone and if your there the meeting will go by so quickly and I'll be home just in time to greet my precious twin daughters home" he grinned.

"Or if you want to stay here with Rukia-chan all alone together that's fine as well" he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Stop being a pervert, Goat Face!" Ichigo said punching him out the room into the hallway.

Rukia sighed hearing the two males fight down the hall.

"Oww, what the fuck!" the teen yelled

"Bye bye Rukia-chan!" Isshin yelled.

"You annoying old man, I'll teach you who to hit." Ichigo said gritting his teeth as he kicked his dad all the way down the long stairway. Isshin face flat on the floor.

Ichigo looked back to the room where Rurichiyo was and his midget was and sighed following his father out the door into the black limo.

"I'm not going to lose to you I'm having Ichigo all to myself" Rurichiyo said looking at Rukia.

"What are you talking about Rurichiyo?"

"The way Ichigo looks at you like you're the only person he sees, the most important person in the world to him" she shouted

"Huh you think I came all the way here just to ogle your idiot cousin?" she said sitting down on the carpet floor.

"That's exactly the reason so are you in love with Ichigo?" she demanded an answer from the Kuchiki.

"You got to be kidding me" she hit the blond over the head with another text book getting a loud yelp room the young girl.

"Hey what was that for?" she rubbed the bump on her head.

"The strawberry and I are Rivals that's all he beats me in everything we do and I'll never give up in succeeding in my goal to triumph over him in victory" Rukia smiled.

Rurichiyo was astounded at Rukia respond giving into some time to think.

"Owww" a yelp sounded out through the Greenhouse. Tatsuki holding a slipper in her hand just from hitting Renji over the head with from trying to sneak a snack before tea started.

"That's for trying to swipe a snack before everyone's ready!" she glared down at the red head.

Toshiro and Momo chased away a Koala away from out of Chad's arms while he was resting.

Rukia glared at Ichigo. He felt Rukia's gaze on him looking into her direction she turned away into thinking he didn't see her staring.

Rukia sitting in her jean shorts and blue spaghetti strap shirt in her strap on sandals with Rurichiyo by her side in her pink kimono both sitting on the grassy fields on the Kurosaki's huge backyard lakeside.

"Why are we out here?" Rurichiyo said annoyed.

"We should broaden our studies and learn from nature also" she explained.

"What are you doing out here?" Ichigo walked from behind the two girls scaring them both. He was wearing his 'Nice Vibe shirt with a pair of jeans and white sneakers. Rurichiyo hopped up clinging to Ichigo like he was her life line.

"You're bothering us go away or I'll beat your sorry orange ass back into the house" she clinches her fist up in aggravation.

"Oh really" he sat Rurichiyo down stepping up to Rukia. Rukia got into a fighting stance ready and Ichigo also ready. Rukia sprinted toward Ichigo trying to trip him over. He back flipped over her leg, getting behind her bringing her down to her with her landing on her back. She cured her slow reflexes.

"You had enough?" He said holding a hand out to her to grab, she grabbed it lifting herself up dusting off her jean skit and blue spaghetti strap shirt.

"Hmph you won't keep beating me Kurosaki!"

"Are you done I thought I you was actually going to teach me something"

"Oh sorry about that…side tracked" she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

Rurichiyo huffed walking away from the two teen still thinking about what Rukia told her the other day, not really believing her words.

"Are you actually going to start acting like you have some since" Ichigo said coldly. Rurichiyo looked back at him surprised in his words.

"You acting like a child not like a true leader of a whole clan should be" he finished. Rurichiyo gripped her kimono angrily running off.

"Wait Rurichiyo!" Rukia called out then turned to Ichigo.

"What the hell's your problem Rurichiyo may be the leader of the entire Kasumiōji clan but you should remember she is still a child!" Rukia shouted at the carrot top then she ran after the young clan leader.

"Did something happen?" Chad asked seeing his friends not speaking to each other. Ichigo was reading his William Shakespeare novel of 'Hamlet' while Rukia was sitting down sipping her Green Tea Tatsuki made for the groups 'Tea time'.

Rukia looked at her watch seeing 4:00PM in beeping black numbers. She got up leaving the Greenhouse grabbing her school bag.

"Rukia where are you going?" Tatsuki asked seeing their energetic friend leaving almost without a word.

"Going to Kurosaki's house I'll see you guys later ok" she said with a small wave.

"What are you doing now?" the blond asked seeing Rukia sitting Indian style in a yellow sundress. They were outside again on the docks of the Kurosaki lakeside.

"Were working on something different today please sit down" she patted the spot next to her waiting for the other girl to come next to her.

The young Kasumiōji leader huffed, but complied by sitting down next to the dark haired teen.

"I know how it feels to carry that heavy burden on your shoulders" Rukia started. Rurichiyo looked up at Rukia in surprised.

"Anyway, you really shouldn't worry about that right now Rurichiyo. Everyone at some point in time feels inadequate. But its doubt that's dreadful. I'm slowly learning that you have to have courage and faith to do the things that needs to be done. Eventually everything will work out. It requires taking a leap of faith, though a soft landing is never guaranteed."

Rurichiyo looked at the girl who was sitting beside her. She was everything that Ichigo wasn't – a fiery spirit, calm collected attitude when serious yet, her words were so similar to something her two bodyguards and good friends, Kenryū and Enryū told her. She had to look twice at her.

"I too feel inadequate sometimes." She continued. "I feel that way all the time. My older brother of course makes me feel this way, but more so I feel as if I can't really be anything great. I feel like I'm just not good enough as a regular person," Or as arrival to Kurosaki as well, she finished in her mind.

"Rukia that's enough you don't have to presume teaching Rurichiyo any further" Rukia glared at the young Kurosaki.

"And why is that?" she yelled. Rurichiyo got up and ran a different direction with tears in her eyes.

"Rurichiyo" Rukia got up not worrying about the dirt on her dress. She stopped when going passed Ichigo.

"you know I think she admires you Kurosaki try talking to her to ask her what's really the matter instead of trying to assume what's wrong" she smirked patting his board shoulder running passed him after Rurichiyo.

Rurichiyo was sitting on the swing sets by the Garden area of the Kurosaki Mansion. The sun was setting over the horizon, a gentle soft breeze blowing in the branches above. She heard footsteps walking up to her.

"Hey Rurichiyo come on let's go home" The blond looked up seeing Rukia coming closer holding out her hand smiling in a warm comforting way. Rurichiyo looked down the tried to run again but slipped on her red kimono Rukia grabbed her just in time, but scrapped her bare legs on the hard concrete of the playground. Rukia landed on her butt with Rurichiyo safely in her lap. Rurichiyo gasped seeing the red substance on Rukia's hands.

"Rukia are you alright?" she asked worriedly seeing the blood dripping down her ankle. Rukia grimaced for a second but smiled.

"Don't worry about me I'm fine really I've had much worst trust me" she got up onto her feet using the pole of the swing set for balance. Rurichiyo was still worried.

Rukia felt another weight next to her holding her shoulder. Rurichiyo held her right shoulder keeping her balance so she can walk and use her as a crutch if needed.

"Thank you for not giving up on me" the blond looked down to the ground with a pink blush. Rukia smiled nodded saying 'you're welcome' and the two walked together to the Kurosaki Mansion at a slower pace.

"Rukia! Rurichiyo!" someone called out to them. The two girls looked up seeing bright orange running toward them.

Ichigo ran up to them panting out of breath.

"Rukia your bleeding are you okay?" he asked looking at her ankle seeing the bruise.

"Kurosaki?" she asked seeing him hold her ankle up in a gentle manner. He got Rukia onto his back making sure she was secure and comfortable.

"Thank you Rurichiyo for helping Rukia this far, I'm sorry for the things I've said to you I was out of line" the teen said to the blond girl.

Rurichiyo eyes started to water she wiped them then ran into Ichigo's leg crying her heart out while Ichigo rubbed her back gently still holding Rukia up with one arm. Rukia smiled knowing things will work out.

"Time hit it I bet Rurichiyo wondering where I am" she smiled get her bag.

"Hey Rukia regarding Rurichiyo" he started.

"Huh what is it?" she asked the heard yelling coming toward them.

"Ichigo!" Rurichiyo called out running toward them in her schools uniform (the Karakura high school uniform).

"Hey everyone" she smiled bowing down. Rukia was confused now.

"Hey Rurichiyo what's up you didn't have to come get me I was on my way?"

"Oh I'm sorry Rukia I was going to get Ichigo to teach me" Rukia brain stopped for a second then started working again in overload.

"I just think Ichigo seems like a better fit to teach me your capability is low so you don't have to worry about me failing a class anymore" She smiled.

Rukia head was low in full of depression.

"That was pretty blunt don't you think?" Tatsuki whisper to Renji he nodded.

"I love my cousin!" she squealed. Rukia head was about to burst.

"Oh that doesn't mean I don't like you though Rukia really"

"hey do you want me to teach you too midget it may just bump up a couple of point if that's even possible" he smirked seeing Rukia's long hair rising behind her back like fire with an irritated look on her face. Rukia fist were clutched in rage.

"I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS KUROSAKI!" the echo was sent all around campus.

"I know you do" he laughed.
