Day Three
"And then we was like 'oh Keigo your so awesome' and I was like 'I know' and then-"
"And then you woke up", everyone cracked up as Keigo glared at Mizuiro who sat there calmly smirking at his best friend.
Well you know I would get an actual girl but all the girls here are lame", Keigo crossed his arms defiantly as Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"Yeah that's why you've asked out half the girls in our grade to homecoming", Ichigo mocked much to everyone's amusement. Keigo grumbled about how awful his friends were and everyone just laughed at his expense. The group looked up as Renji walked over to their cluster of desks.
"Hey Renji what's up", Keigo asked the newcomer obviously eager to get off the subject of his lack of love life(or any life really)
"Not much just ready for this shit to be over so I can go home", most people would think he was being grumpy but his friends understood that he was just bored. Ichigo felt a surge of concern when he saw Renji wince when he sat down. As he looked closer he saw a few bruises marring the bottom of the red heads jaw. They looked faded but that was probably because Renji had asked some help healing.
"What are you staring at carrot top", Renji growled raising one of his infamous eyebrows. Ichigo realized he was leaning in a little too close for comfort and after the 'take it off' incident he didn't want anyone else thinking he was in a forbidden relationship with his 'brother'.
"Well I was just thinking that it looked like you'd gotten even uglier", Ichigo drawled as he leaned away before anyone called the cops. Renji turned an angry red that was almost brighter than his hair as he glared at Ichigo.
"What did you just say", Renji spat out. Ichigo smirked at how easy it was to get the soul reaper angry.
"What is your pineapple hair covering your ears now", Ichigo mocked before leaping out of his seat as Renji's fist hit the back of his seat.
"Nice hit well unless you weren't aiming for my chair. Cuz see if you were aiming for me that sucked ass", Ichigo chuckled as Renji launched himself at him again. Ichigo shifted a little to the left but grabbed onto Renji's hand as he flew past him. He swung him into a nearby desk which happened to be Tatsuki's.
"Watch it dumbasses you almost hit me", she warned while cracking her knuckles. Even after becoming one of the most powerful beings on the planet Ichigo was still slightly frightened by his childhood rival. Unfortunately Renji didn't have that luxury.
"Sit down girlie and let the boys handle this", Ichigo winced at the words coming out of Renji's mouth because even a few feet away he could feel Tatsuki's killer intent and Renji was way too close to her to come out unscathed.
"Excuse me", Tatsuki growled clenching her fists. Everyone took a fee steps back except for Renji who just leaned forward.
"You need me to repeat it babe", Tatsuki didn't give any warning as she aimed a kick at Renji's privates. Renji didn't notice until he felt a surge of pain from his lower regions.
"You BITCH", he screamed at he as he rolled into a pained ball. Tatsuki smirked and pushed him into the door. Renji didn't bother getting up as he groaned in pain.
"Sorry babe", and with that Tatsuki sat back down and continued talking with Orihime as if nothing had happened. All the boys took another glance at Renji and subconsciously tried to cover their privates as he gave another groan.
"Hi guys sorry I'm late", a peppy Rukia opened the door and hit Renji making him yelp as the door hit him in the back of the head. Rukia looked down curiously to see Renji with one hand on his head and the other on his nuts. She raised an eyebrow and gave Ichigo a look that he just returned with a shrug.
"So Rukia where were you, you missed my breakfast surprise", asked Orihime as Rukia stepped over Renji and walked over to her desk.
"Well I went to the tea shop to get my morning tea and on the way I saw this stall that was selling the latest issue of the manga I was telling you about and so of course I bought it. I started to read it while I was walking and when I looked up after Arata confessed his love for Hana I realized I was in the completely wrong part of town. Whoops", Rukia giggled a little as Ichigo sweat dropped at her absentmindedness. He looked to Renji who was standing up and almost felt bad for all the wincing he was doing. He was a little curios as to why he was bruised but chances were that it couldn't be discussed in class.
"Oh well at least you liked the manga", Orihime said helpfully before walked in.
"Alright everyone sit down and mister Kurosaki if your done staring at miss Inoue would you please take your seat. Ichigo rolled his eyes at the teacher before sitting down. Mrs. Satomi seemed to think he had a thing for a new girl every week. She had even teased him about like Chizuru and she was a lesbian!
Ichigo looked over at Orihime and was shocked to see her not even looking at him. Normally she would be looking over at him really embarrassed but she didn't even seem to have heard. As a matter of fact she was in a conversation with Uryu about the shirt he had made for her back in the soul society. She was smiling and Ichigo nearly choked on his own spit when Uryu smiled back. Looks like even Uryu took the stick out of his ass when it came to the ginger bombshell.
"Kurosaki are you even listening", yelled who was currently lecturing on the 'wonders' of mass production.
"Not really", he answered truthfully. The class giggled but didn't appear amused.
"Very funny Ichigo why don't you take your humor all the way to the hallway. And take your brother with you I don't want to clean drool off his desk again", she said motioning to a sleeping Renji. Ichigo walked to his desk and smacked Renji upside the head.
"What the fuck", the class laughed at Renji's expression as he woke up. wrinkled her nose at the language but just sighed and pointed at the door. Already used to it Renji walked out with Ichigo close in tow.
Ichigo shut the door and walked to the end of the hallway so the rest of the class wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
"What's up with bruises and why were you limping even before Tatsuki nailed you in the balls", Ichigo asked getting straight to the point. Renji leaned against the wall before yawning.
"Well on Saturday while you were being relaxing and singing show tunes I was hunting hollows", Renji told him sarcastically. Ichigo felt confused, if there were hollows how come Rukia didn't say anything.
"Don't think it doesnt look good on your face", Ichigo glared at Renji as he chuckled and explained.
"Rukia seemed stressed put lately so I asked the captains to turn off her pager and I did it by myself. She needs a break and I don't mind it, it's kinda boring here", Renji yawned and Ichigo knew that the weekend had been harder than he'd let on.
"Thanks", he mumbled almost to where the shinigami couldn't hear him.
"What was that Kurosaki. It couldn't have been a thank you could it", Renji gasped and Ichigo punched his arm. Ichigo knew that it was Renji's way of saying your welcome and the two sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before Renji got bored.
"You think she forgot we're out here", questioned Renji as both the boys shot a glance at the door.
"Naw she must of noticed how calm the class is without us and probably thinks we won't mind if she doesn't let us back in", Ichigo sighed as he leaned his arm onto his arms.
"Wanna go to the courtyard", Renji asked as he stood up stretching. Ichigo just nodded and the two made their way down the hallway. They passed some occupied classrooms but no one seemed to notice the two 'brothers' wandering down the hall. They made it to the front without any trouble and the people on the office were too preoccupied with the latest gossip to see the notorious delinquents leaving the building.
"You know they should really improve security", Renji commented as they made it to the school gate and leaned against it much like in the hall but this time the fall sun shined on the boys faces as they tilted their heads back.
"Tch if they saw us leaving they'd probably cheer, less detention slips to write up", Renji and Ichigo shared a laugh as they stared out into the road.
"So what wrong Kurosaki", Renji asked as Ichigo shot him a confused look. Rwnji smirked at the younger man before slouching further against the wall.
"I've known you for months and I can notice when you're being pissier than normal. And since the only person that you've seen in the past few days is Rukia I'm going to assume it has to do with her", Renji concluded and Ichigo was a little shocked at how on the dot the usual goof ball was.
"She's leaving", Ichigo sighed. Renji's eyes widened and he looked to Ichigo to make sure he wasn't joking.
"Leaving? Why? When? When the fuck did you find this out", Rwnji questioned as he stood in front of Ichigo no longer relaxed.
"I overheard her talking on her soul society pager; she was talking to someone about going on a mission in two weeks. It's a two year mission and she said she was deciding after homecoming", Ichigo scratched the back of his head as the other male listened intently.
"So what you're saying is, is that she hasn't decided yet", Renji finally spoke after thinking it over.
"Well why wouldn't she go? We don't really need her hear and doing missions could help raise her standings and help her become a captain. It's a great opportunity, there's no reason for her not to go", Ichigo explained helplessly. He didn't like admitting it but it made sense for her to go. He knew getting promoted was very important to Rukia. It would make Byakuya proud and that was one of her main goals.
"You know you look like someone ran over your cat and then told you, you had to pay for their new tires", Renji bluntly told Ichigo making Ichigo punch him in the arm but not as friendly as before.
"Yep definitely the cat", Ichigo glared at Renji and tackled him to the ground and shoved his fist into his nose.
"Ow that hurt moron", Renji said through clenched teeth obviously not appreciating being beat up after his strenuous weekend.
"That was the point pineapple head", with that the boys continue rolling in the dirt and after running into the wall ended up back in the front of the school. They both rolled, punched and kicked until Ichigo was back on top.
"Can you stop molesting each other until after class", the two looked up to see a smirking Quincy standing above them. Ichigo jumped off Renji and crossed his arms before glaring at Uryu.
"I don't think you should be questioning anyone's sexuality considering you sow", Renji laughed as Uryu glared and Ichigo just put on a smug expression.
"It doesn't make me gay because I sow, it is a perfectly manly thing to do", Uryu huffed before stalking off towards the school.
"Wow no wonder he's friends with you, he doesn't really have any other options huh", Renji said with pity as he followed their friend into the building.
"Hey wait a minute", Ichigo called out as what Renji said sunk in. His only answer was the resounding echo of laughter as he walked back into the halls. He didn't catch up to Renji until they were outside the classroom. Ichigo glared not wanting to say anything that would earn him a detention. He stayed quiet and walked in after opened the door.
"I hope you two are ready to pay attention now", the two just rolled their eyes and and stared at the clock willing for the day to be over.
When the final bell rang all the students jumped up and ran out the door hoping to escape the lecture on the structure of a pea plant that had been going on for nearly 45 minutes.
"Does anyone else feel that school gets longer everyday", Keigo complained as the group made their way outside.
"I don't see why you're complaining considering you slept through almost every class", Mizuiro sweat dropped at his friends idiocy.
"Yeah but the teachers kept waking me up I mean really can't a guy sleep in peace", everyone rolled their eyes ignoring the small brunette as he started tearing up about the thought of the teachers interrupting his 'beauty rest'
"Yeah damn them", Ichigo said sarcastically before walking over to Rukia.
"You ready to go", he asked her as he swung his bag over his shoulder.
"Actually Orihime invited me over for a movie night, I won't be back till later", she told him before skipping off towards Orihime and Tatsuki who were waiting for her at the corner. Ichigo watched as she happily chattered with the other two girls and didn't been look back at him. It was amazing how much kinder she was to other people.
"You know staring at her won't change her mind", Renji scoffed at him as Ichigo turned his attention back to the boys. He huffed at the other soul reapers remarks but said nothing.
"Well were going my father is having friends from work over and one of their daughters is super hot", Keigo sighed dreamily s he imagined a girl that would probably say two words to him the entire time.
"I think I'll come along too one of your dads coworkers is quite attractive", Keigo's jaw dropped at Mizuiro's soon to be latest conquest.
"But she's like 23", Keigo protested as him and his best friend started walking away from the group. "Your only 15"
"Believe me when I say the older ones know a lot more stuff", Keigo fell flat on his face as he mumbled something about a 'man who're but Mizuiro just smirked before walking off in the direction of Keigo's home.
"Never thought I'd want advice from a human", Renji wondered aloud as the only ones left were the four spirit seers. The four walked toward Urahara's where they spent most of their free time when the 'normals' as Renji called them left.
"You think he fixed the field after Chad put the crater in it last week", Renji asked the others before looking at the big man himself.
"Every time I've damaged the training grounds they're always in perfect condition when I return later", Chad shrugged before continuing.
"Bet those hollows wish they could regenerate so fast", Uryu muttered under his breath as the three smaller boys thought of the numerous hollows Chad had destroyed with his fists alone.
"So Renji what did you mean when you Sid 'staring won't change her mind', have you developed feelings for Rukia Ichigo. You've never minded when she hung out with the girls before", Ichigo sputtered and stumbled a little on the road at Chad's question.
"Like the midget, no way in hell. It's...it's something else", Ochigo stared back at the ground as he thought about the now less than two weeks he had to convince Rukia to stay preferably without telling her. She didn't really appreciate it when he ordered her around.
"What's wrong with Rukia Ichigo", inquired Uryu as he glanced at his rival. Ichigo looked up and saw concern in the once soul reaper hater's eyes. He knew they all cared about Rukia in their own ways so maybe they had an idea.
"I overheard her talking on her pager about some two year mission that she has to decide to go on by next Friday. She'll probably go but I don't think she should but I don't what to tell her because she'll probably take it the wrong way and go anyway", Ichigo took a deep breath as he finished. Unless he was threatening someone he wasn't really used to talking that much.
"Why don't you just try to make the next few weeks as fun as possible", Chad suggested.
"How do I make it 'fun'", Ichigo asked looking at Chad for an answer. Chad shrugged but Uryu seemed to have an idea.
"Look idiot the homecoming is the day she's supposed to be leaving right", Ichigo nodded and motioned for Uryu to continue making the Quincy roll his eyes. "Take her to homecoming Baka. If she has fun shell probably be more likely to stay and she has a soft spot for you anyway so it'll make it easier for you to take her", Uryu finished. Chad nodded and even Renji was thinking it over. Ichigo wasn't as convinced.
"What are you crazy if I take her to homecoming shell think I like her or something", Ichigo panicked.
"That's the idea. She already has friends here, having you like her will probably be the last push to make her stay", Uryu explained slowly like he was talking to a child.
"But I don't like her", Ichigo protested. The others laughed and Ichigo glared at them. "Why the hell are you laughing"
"Because you're in denial carrot top. I may not like it but it's obvious you at least like Rukia a little more than a friend. For Kami's sake you risked becoming a hollow to save her life and have risked your life more times than I can count just so she stays safe", Renji accused.
"It's to pay back for saving my family", Ichigo retorted glaring at the older man.
"Oh please you paid her back ages ago. Now you're doing it because you couldn't stand seeing her hurt. Admit it you like her", Renji demanded.
"I don't like her you stupid assh-"
"Alright enough this isn't helping to make Rukia stay", Uryu interrupted the two before it became a full blown argument. "Look I don't see what the big deal is just take her to homecoming. We all want her to stay and if that means you have to suck it up and wear a tie then just do it", Uryu yelled at Ichigo. Ichigo wanted her to stay he just didn't see why he had to be the one to do it.
"Why can't you do it you know her better", Ichigo asked turning to Renji. Renji blushed a little making the other three boys give him questioning looks.
"I like somebody else", he admitted quietly making the other boys chuckle but Ichigo stopped as Uryu concluded his plan.
"Alright so it's settled Ichigo ask Rukia to homecoming win he over get her to stay that way we don't have a bunch of crying girls on our hands and so I know I have at least one sane friend", with that Chad, Renji, and Uryu all walked into Urahara's shop.
"What! I didn't agree to any of that", Ichigo stormed into Urahara's shop and silently swore to beat the shit out of his 'friends'.
