Why is this taking so long Part 4?

The blaring of a whistle sounded and caught the attention of the students standing around on the oval.

'Ok class, Today is the day we beginning the sports carnival. In two week time six schools including ours will be participating in the annual Karakura Sports festival. So to get you all prepared I have devised a plan of the sports and today we will begin with soccer.' The sports teacher said, holding a clip board in front of her. Each student was dressed in the usual sports uniform and runners and were split into two groups in front of the teacher. The girls were standing on the left and the boys were on the right.

'Now for teams I have to captains picked out already and they will select their team one at a time. Kurosaki, Arisawa come forward. The two stepped out from the groups and walked towards the teacher. They turned to face the others and stood either side of the teacher.

'Ladies first.' Ichigo said, crossing his arms across his chest. Tatsuki glared at him but faced forward and scanned the crowd.

'Rukia.' She called first looking at ebony haired girl who looked ready to throw up. She walked towards Tatsuki and stood behind her while Tatsuki and Ichigo picked team mates.

"Oh god. I really shouldn't have eaten the miso soup for breakfast. Stupid Ichigo and his eating in his room instead of with his family." Rukia cursed silently, holding her hand over her growing stomach. What used to be flat now had a small bump developing. She felt a hand on her shoulder and knew Orihime was standing next to her. Orihime tugged gently and pulled Rukia closer to her and propped Rukia's head against her shoulder.

'Thank you.' Rukia whispered, closing her eyes in an attempt to stop the nausea.

'Alright everyone spread out and captains choose your subs that will go and sit on the benches.' The teacher yelled, then turned and walked off to the sidelines of the field.

'Rukia…'

'Hey Tatsuki.'

'I'm going to make you the sub, along with Orihime.'

'Ok. Thanks.'

'Hey this could get ugly. Cant risk you or the 'you-know-what' getting hurt.' She smiled gently, watching Ichigo's team sort themselves out around the field.

'Good luck.' Rukia said. She and Orihime walked over to where the teacher and the opposing team's subs were standing.

'I'm gonna go grab some homework. Might as well do something productive while I'm here.' Rukia said to Orihime. She nodded and turned her attention back to the field. Rukia walked up to the teacher and let her know then walked back in towards the locker rooms, where her bag was sitting. The locker room smelt of musky sweat and flower scented deodorant, along with other smells Rukia really didn't have the stomach to identify.

She unzipped her bag and pulled out a few work books, her pencil case and her reading novel, The Luxe by Anna Godbersen and zipped up her bag tightly, before walking back out of the sweaty locker room. She trudged back towards the oval where a whistle was just sounding, along with the yelling and screaming of the players. Rukia came to a halt when she reached the grass and her eyes floated to Ichigo, who was running after the ball.

The sight of him in a tight shirt, which hugged his muscled toned body perfectly, made Rukia blush, which she hid behind her books. She walked over the bench that Orihime was sitting on and sat down beside her cross legged and rested her books in her lap. She opened her novel to the page she was reading last and got lost in the chapter in seconds.

Chapter 15 The Luxe

Henry's one consolation was that etiquette was very clear on the rules of seating at dinner parties, and so he was not forced to actually speak to his future wife during the droning six courses that were meant to celebrate their engagement. He did hazard a look or two, across the long table, at Elizabeth Holland, who was looking radiant and beautiful, though regrettably pristine to his eyes, and whose left hand was now lit up with the pride of Tiffany. Henry stared at the rock, which was so large that it overwhelmed her finger, until he knew he was being rude. He knew because his betrothed executed a delicate cough. It just didn't look like a piece of jewellery that had anything to do with him. He caught the tail of a passing waiter and asked for another drink.

His father did seem pleased, however, and distracted enough by the room of congratulations and sycophants. Apparently, it hadn't registered with him that Henry was keeping himself relatively pleasant by keeping himself quite drunk. The old man sat at the head of the table projecting grandiloquent pronouncements down half its length. At fathers right sat Isabelle. Henry was between her and his younger sister, Prudie, who fancied herself an intellectual and so wore black muslin and spoke to no one. On the other side of the onyx-topped table, Mrs. Holland took the seat directly to old Schoonmaker's left, with some fellow named Brennan on her other side. Next to him-across from Henry- was Elizabeth, who was quietly rearranging the lobster salad on her plate.

While Rukia was reading her book, the soccer game went on for a while until Tatsuki's team kicked the winning goal.

'Rukia?' Orihime said, shaking the shorter girl out of her trance. She looked up from the page and glanced around at the rest of the class heading towards the changing rooms. 'Its time to head in.'

'Ok.' She marked her page and gathered her books up and uncrossed her legs, standing up from the bench. She and Orihime walked into the locker rooms and were confronted with screaming and giggling girls, spraying deodorants and body sprays all over the place.

'I think I'm going to pass out.' Rukia grumbled, when a girl in nothing but her bra and skirt bumped into her, shoving her straight into Orihime.

'Watch it!' Rukia snarled at the girl, whose eyes widened at the tone of Rukia's voice.

'It was an accident.' She said softly, almost succumbing to tears. Rukia's mood swing subsided and she walked through the group of girls straight to her backpack and grabbed it by one of the arm straps and walked straight back out the door, still in her sports uniform. She walked towards the main building towards the girl's bathrooms.

She made her way down the deserted corridor and pushed the door to the bathrooms open and walked straight into a cubical. She locked the door behind her and dropped her bag to the floor.

As she stripped out of her sports uniform she looked down at the bump forming just above her shorts. It wasn't fully noticeable, but was just getting to the stage where some tighter shirts would visibly show it. She grabbed her school uniform out of her bag and slipped her shirt on; making sure the bottom of the shirt covered her belly. She then slid off the shorts and replaced them with the skirt and tucked the shirt into the top of the skirt.

She sat down on the seat of the toilet and slipped off her runners, putting them inside the bag and replaced them with her normal school shoes. She was just about to stand up and grab her bag when banging came from the bathroom door.

'Hey Rukia. Hurry up in there will ya.'

'Shut up Ichigo, ill be out when I'm done.' She stood up and roughly grabbed her bag and ripped out of the stall. But as she stormed out the bathroom door, it felt heavier than before and as she pushed harder she heard a thud come from behind the door. She stepped out into the corridor and looked to her right and saw Ichigo on sitting on the ground with a very angry look on his face.

'What happened to you?' Rukia asked, trying hard not to laugh at his position.

'I dunno. Some crazy midget stormed out of the bathroom and knocked me over.' Ichigo growled, pushing himself up off the ground and dusted the invisible dust off his pants. Rukia smirked and walked off down the corridor towards their next class, leaving Ichigo to wonder why he didn't get belted for the midget comment. Orihime and Tatsuki were standing outside the door waiting for her when she came round the corner and Orihime waved when she saw Rukia.

'Come on Rukia, the teachers coming!' Orihime yelled out, beckoning Rukia to pick up her pace. When Rukia caught up with the two of them, Ichigo following silently behind her, the four walked into the classroom which had on several students standing around. Ichigo separated himself from them and walked over to Keigo and the others, falling into a semi-deep discussion.

But not long after Rukia and Orihime sat down the teacher came in, carrying some books in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. Although to Rukia, she didn't need anymore coffee seeing as she seemed buzzed enough. She dropped her books onto the desk, took a sip of her coffee and gestured for everyone to take their seats, not removing the cup from her lips. She gulped down the last few mouthfuls and dropped the empty foam cup down onto the desk, sighing loudly and straightening up her shirt.

'Well Class, at 1 o'clock you will be dismissed early since its parent/teacher conferences today. So this lesson will be cut short but I plan to get as much in as we can. Now when we ended we were…' She started looking through her notes and turned to the blackboard and picked up a piece of chalk. 'We were reflecting on Poetry of the First World War. To be specific we read Fly Away Peter, the account of the life and death of a young man who went to fight in the Great War of 1914. This week you're going to complete a worksheet on the short story of your choice. You will write out on the worksheet ill pass around in a minute, the title and author, the plot i.e. what happens in the story and what its about, the characters, the setting, theme, style which I will explain in more detail, climax, and the resolution.' Keigo raised his hand just as the teacher was about to pass out the worksheets.

'Yes?'

'Do we have a list of stories to choose from or do we pick our own stories from anywhere?'

'Use any story you wish. Just as long as it's not pornographic or not suitable for human minds. Now of course you wont be able to start the worksheets now, unless you know the story your using so for the next twenty minutes till the bell rings in want you all to read your novels till then.' The teacher went back to her desk and collapsed in her chair, closing her eyes as the level of talking grew louder.

'So Ichigo, tomorrows a day off school. What plans have you made?' Keigo asked, not even making a move for his bag.

'I'm not really sure. Probably help out my dad in the clinic.' Ichigo replied, leaning back against his chair with his hands behind his head.

'Hey Rukia, are you busy tomorrow?' Keigo asked, leaning over his desk edging closer to the girl in question. But Rukia just kept reading her novel, too lost in it that she didn't hear him.

'Rukia?' Keigo asked, tapping her on the shoulder. She still didn't respond.

'Hey Rukia!' Ichigo yelled into her ear causing her to jump in her seat. Ichigo smirked and went back to his original position.

Before Rukia had the chance to punch Ichigo, Tatsuki shoved a folded piece of paper in front of her eyes and Rukia grasped it in one hand, crumpling the paper. She put her book down on the table and unfolded the paper, increasing it as much as she could.

Here's the clinic number you asked for. I got it off the school nurse.

Underneath the message was the number. Rukia looked out her shoulder at Tatsuki and smiled with gratitude and mouth thank you. She then shoved the piece of paper into the front pocket on her backpack and zipped it up so it wouldn't fall out. She then looked over her shoulder, where Ichigo and the others were talking about stupid stuff.

Ichigo must have felt her staring but as soon as he looked over at her she had turned back around and was picking up her book. He frowned as he studied her, something was off. She looked different than normal; she looked like she was glowing.

"Glowing?" He thought to himself, watching her face as she mouthed the words on the page.

'There no way she's glowing.' He grumbled to himself, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms across his chest.

"Karakura Medical Clinic, this is Ann.

'Hi I'd like to make an appointment for tomorrow please.'

"Yes I have a spot open for three o'clock. Would that be suitable?"

'Yes that's fine.'

"I just need a name please."

'Rukia Kuchiki.'

"Ok and what are we booking you in for?"

'An ultrasound.'

"Ok Miss Kuchiki, we shall see tomorrow at three." And with that she hung hand lingered on the phone for a little then she turned, grabbed her backpack off the ground where it was leaning against her legs and stepped out of the payphone booth, looking around at the crowded streets. Even for six o'clock at night, the streets were littered with workman and late night shoppers. She slung her bag over her shoulder and started walking back towards the Kurosaki clinic, knowing the way off by heart by now. She turned the corner and kept walking, scuffing her feet against the concert sidewalk.

It didn't take her long to reach the fence line of the Kurosaki house and she opened the gate and walked up to the front of the house and grabbed hold of the pipe that ran all the way up to Ichigo's room.

She silently climbed up to Ichigo's bedroom window and quietly slid it open and bounced into the room. Ichigo wasn't in the room but the light was left on and his backpack was slowly falling sideways off the chair. She walked over to the closet and slid the door open and chucked her bag up the opposite end to her pillow. She grabbed her usual blue dress to change into and slipped off her shoes, leaving them sitting in front of the closet.

She turned her head back towards the window and looked out towards the setting sun. She walked back over to the window, abandoning her change of clothes and sat down on the ledge, looking out over the darkening town.

She turned her head when the sound of the door clicking snapped her back to reality. She was about to race for the closet when the intruder turned out to be Ichigo, who had his head buried in a text book. He looked up at her and the usual scowl crossed his features.

'Hey, Rukia. You sure are getting home late. What's the deal?'

'Just had some stuff to do. Why do you ask?'

'No reason. Just…'

'Just?'

'Never mind.'

'Ok then.' Rukia mumbled, not having the strength to argue as she usually would. She unzipped the main section of her backpack and took out her books and a few loose pieces of homework along with her pencil case. She shuffled through the notes she had taken during her classes today and noticed her chemistry notes missing.

"Must have left them at school." Rukia thought to herself, knowing that she needed them for her homework.

'Umm Ichigo?'

'What?'

'Can I borrow your chemistry notes? I must have left mine at school.'

'Yeah. They're in my bag, front pocket.' Ichigo muttered, waving his hand towards his bag without raising his head. She walked over to his bag and unzipped the front pocket and found the notes she was looking for. She flipped through the notes and started scanning his handwriting, making sure he didn't miss anything and her eyes strayed from the notes and peeked over the top towards Ichigo, taking in his image. Her eyes trailed from his thick orange hair down along his broad shoulders then his long legs. The sight of him made her blush a little.

She collapsed onto the edge of the bed and her hands fell to her lap. She looked down at her lap for a moment then glanced back up at the orange haired youth and felt something shift inside herself and her confidence took over her mouth.

'Ichigo?'

'What is it?' He asked, still concentrating on the homework in front of him.

'There's something I need to tell you.' He looked over his shoulder towards her to obviously yell at her for the disruption but then dropped his pen onto the desk when he noticed the sunken expression on her face and stood up from his chair. He walked over to her and sat down on the bed next to her. He looked her over, concern masking his face when he noticed Rukia's expression.

'Are you ok? You look upset.'

'I have some…really big news. Life altering in fact.' She stood up from the bed and started pacing back and forth from the bed to the closet door and back again.

'Rukia calm down. Just tell me what's wrong.' Ichigo said placing a hand on her shoulder to stop her pacing. Rukia took a deep breath and looked Ichigo straight in the eyes. She stared for a few seconds, biting her lip in the process.

'I'mpr…'

'ICHIGO! DINNER!' Karin yelled from the base of the stairs, completely cutting Rukia off. She snapped back into panic and jumped three feet away from Ichigo. He stared at her in shock and stood up from the bed and walked over to her.

'Rukia?' He looked at her with wide eyes, staring straight into her violet orbs in a way that made Rukia's heart race.

'Sorry…it's nothing. You should get going before your dad barges in here.' Rukia said, plastering on a fake smile. Ichigo stared at her frowning at her attitude but shook his head and walked towards the door and out of the bedroom, leaving Rukia standing alone in his room.

As soon as Rukia was sure Ichigo was out of ear shot, she raced towards the open window and jumped out and down onto the front lawn, wanting a quicker way down then climbing. She raced out of the yard and kept running down the street to god knows where. She skidded around the corner and continued running, ignoring the burn in her legs. She jumped over the guard and crossed the road and ran down the street towards the river.

She came to a halt when she reached the waters edge and crumpled to the grass, breathing heavily to calm her racing heart down. She looked up at the water and stared at the ripples forming over the surface. She closed her eyes tightly and dropped her head forward, her hair falling to cover her face.

'Even after all we've been through, I still loose my mind when he looks at me that way.' She said to herself, her voice deep with emotion. She held a hand to her heart and sighed heavily, the breeze blowing through her hair onto her face. She shook her head, trying to get rid of any idea's she was having and decided to relax on the grass for a while. Rukia fell backwards into a sitting position then stretched out across the grass, sighing and closing her eyes and just letting all her worries slip away.

She didn't realize how late it was until she opened her eyes and noticed the moon was shining high and bright in the darkness surrounded by a thick blanket of stars. She looked around and noticed no one was around and everything was dead silent and the only sign of life was a stray cat creeping along the guard rail. She pulled out her phone and checked the clock in the right hand corner of the screen and noticed it was already one o'clock.

She stood up, sliding her phone back into her pocket and started climbing back to the road. She looked around to make sure no one was around and slowly started making her way back to the clinic.

When she reached the front of Ichigo's house she stopped and observed from the outside street. The house was silent and all the lights were out, indicating she was the only one still awake at this hour. The gate squeaked as she pushed it aside and let it shut behind her, as she made her way to her usual entrance.

She quietly climbed up to the window to find the window open and the room pitch black. She slipped in and landed on the floor quietly, sliding her shoes off and picking them up in her hand. She peered over at the bed to find a lump with a mass of orange hair sticking out one end of the blanket.

'I'm going to hear a lecture from him in the morning. So ill enjoy this peace while I can.' She thought as he turned onto his side to face the wall.

'Good night Ichigo.' She whispered into the dark.
