Takes place when R & R are in high school. Enjoy!

Babysitting

"You're doing what?" Renji nearly exploded, as his girlfriend informed him of the situation over the phone.

"I told you, I'm babysitting your brother tonight. And, I'll be there in about-" she paused, to take a glance at the clock on her nightstand, "-half an hour." She smirked to herself, rolling over onto her stomach, laying on her soft bed as she cradled her phone between her ear and shoulder.

"How come you didn't tell me about it?" he demanded, wanting to know why keeping that kind of secret from him would be necessary.

"Well, I didn't want you to blow it. And, I told your mom that you knew already, so there was no need for her to mention it to you." On the other end, Renji's eyebrows furrowed.

"'Blow' what?" he asked, having no idea what she was referring to. The small girl grinned once more, though he couldn't see it.

"Well, instead of going out to a random party at your buddy's house-" she paused, for emphasis, her voice then turning suggestive, "-I say you drive around the neighborhood until your mom's gone, and then, once you get back...well, I think you know the rest." Renji turned bright red, his hairline becoming less visible, before a thought struck him.

"What about my brother?" he asked, knowing that they couldn't really get up to anything when he was around.

"I'll bribe him with candy," explained Rukia, telling the redhead that she had planned the sequence out. "It knocks out two birds with one stone. He'll tell your mom that he and I had a wonderful evening full of board games and educational television, and after the inevitable sugar rush, he'll crash. In conclusion, we'll have three, maybe even four hours all to ourselves." Renji was smiling like a fool, excited for this plan, and fully prepared to go along with it.

"When do I leave?"
