Lemony: Still sick, still in bed. And spank you readers for you concern, hugs, and lullabies...I think that's all I had to say um...enjoy the chappy, I love you all...

Rukia slept like a baby through her morning classes, waking up refreshed and rejuvenated. She actually cracked a smile when she sat up in bed and glanced at her alarm clock. Sleep was beautiful. She stretched luxuriously letting all her muscles snap into place. The raven-haired girl glanced at the clock which read: 12:45 p.m in the afternoon. There was no reason to even go to her final few classes of the day, so instead Rukia did something constructive.

She did her laundry.

Rukia wasn't bothering anyone and no one was bothering her. Why couldn't life be like this all the time? With everyone in class, she had the washing machines in her dormitory all to herself which meant she didn't have to fight over them or wait. The younger Kuchiki dejectedly watched her clothes spin in the dryer. She couldn't help but compare herself to a sock, stuck in heat, never going anywhere, and being bounced around by something bigger and stronger than it. Rukia actually cracked up laughing at her comparison. A sock? Really? A sock wasn't worth 725.23 million dollars like she was. Rukia and the Kuchiki Clan brought a new meaning to the phrase "filthy, stinking rich."

Rukia was happy today, it was a bizarre feeling to her. Happiness. All of her happiness seemed to die with Byakuya. But yes, a weight had been lifted from Rukia's shoulders recently. It was time for fall break, and all the girls except for a select few would be going home for two glorious weeks. Rukia choose to stay on campus; she didn't want to be anywhere near fellow Kuchiki Clan members or Jin. She'd pretty much have the dormitory all to herself, peace and quiet was the next thing that made her happy.

Rukia would spend a lot of time online during the break, of course. Without classes to interfere, she'd spend hours taunting and teasing Mr. Hyde. Then Rukia thought of something, what if she teased him by staying away? How many emails would he send her, if any? Would she be able to stay offline for a week? Wouldn't mind-numbing boredom entice her to getting online again? Rukia shook her head furiously, who was she kidding. She'd just die without her computer or internet; it was the only thing that was keeping her sane in a world full of madness. It was her only means of escape. She wouldn't be able to cope without it. Talk about an internet addiction. But what did it matter? Rukia wasn't hurting anyone; sure maybe when she was older she'd need glasses as a result of staring at her computer screen, but really who was suffering from her chatting online? No one, that's why Rukia did it so much, she enjoyed it, it relaxed her, aroused her, and helped her sleep at night. The cyber world was the only thing she had…that and alcohol whenever she could get her hands on it.

Irrationally feeling cheerful, Rukia piled her clothes into a laundry basket and proceeded to walk upstairs back to her dorm.

Now afternoon classes had ended the dorm halls were filled with the noisy chatter of teenage girls, one of the most annoying sounds in the damn world in Rukia's honest opinion. Rukia scowled when she saw Orihime and Senna standing outside her dorm door. It wasn't the orange-haired girl Rukia was trying to scowl at, but it was instantaneous whenever she saw Senna and whoever was with her. They both stopped talking when the raven-haired girl approached them. Rukia ignored them and fished for her room key.

After several tense seconds, Orihime broke the silence, "Rukia, Ms. Shihoin slipped a note under your door. She wanted to know where you were and why you weren't in class today."

Yoruichi Shihoin. Rukia's stomach clutched. Apparently, Ms. Shihoin wanted to become dorm counselor of the month or something because only Yoruichi kept track of her charges attendance.

"Well now you know," Rukia said holding up the laundry basket and nudging the door open with her hip.

Orihime swallowed, "But uh Rukia-"

Senna cut in rudely, "Don't step on Ms. Shihoin's note."

"Thank you, Senna." Rukia said thru clenched teeth giving her a twisted grin and stepping on the manila envelope on the floor anyway "Oops."

The younger Kuchiki put her laundry basket down and snatched the letter off the floor. She tore open the envelope and read the note. Her eyes had barely scanned the page from left to right for two seconds before she looked up to see Senna and Orihime staring curiously at her.

"Would you like for me to read it to you?" Rukia purred,

Orihime shook her head furiously before blurting out nervously, "Oh no, no it's your business…sorry…"

Midnight blue eyes clashed with caramel ones. Rukia and Senna were doing it again; staring each other down like animals about to charge at one another. Senna smirked and folded her arms, "Since you offered, go ahead."

Rukia returned her hateful grin. She held out the note so that Senna could see it. Rukia was going to enjoy this…

"You know what Senna," She purred cruelly, "Why don't you read it to me."

Senna snatched the note from her with a low growl. Her eyes scanned the paper while her body stiffened with rage. .

"You're supposed to meet with Ms. Shihion and the dean tomorrow at seven. There, are you happy?" She said pushing the paper back into Rukia's hands. The younger Kuchiki grinned.

"Thank you." Rukia told Senna cocking her head to the side and batting her eyelashes innocently. Senna rolled her eyes, one of which was puffy and black from where Rukia had punched her. It was then the raven-haired girl turned to Orihime,

"Thanks for letting me know about Shihoin." Rukia told her,

"No problem," Orihime said sheepishly rubbing the back of her neck,

"Now if you'll both excuse me. And by the way Orihime, what I'm about to do isn't intended for you." Rukia said politely and with she slammed the door in their faces with a loud bang. Feeling incredibly satisfied, she read over the note once more. Oh joy, if she choose to skip this conference she'd be expelled. Not to mention Jin was showing up for this meeting as well. Great, just great.

Rukia rolled her eyes so hard she threatened to knock herself out. Her life was a never-cycle of bullshit! What more could they do to her? So what if she got kicked out! She had been stuck here for six fucking years! It was like prison with privileges and Rukia didn't even have those anymore because of her in school suspension and…

Wait.

Now Rukia's mind was reeling. They must've been planning something big for her. She could feel it in her bones. If they wanted to her expel her, they would have done it a long time ago, right? She had pretty much broken every school rule not once but twice and maybe even three or four times! She disrespected her teachers regularly! She had beat up several other students! Rukia even got caught with an empty bottle of Jack Daniels and was drunk out of her fucking mind! Wasn't all that cause enough for expulsion? There were so many reasons LWA kept Rukia around. For starters, she was part of the noble Kuchiki Clan and would be amazing to have as alumni. Not to mention Jin paid good money for her tuition every year. Rukia realized the faculty kept her around because she was a walking gold medal to the school. Now if only they could get her to behave…

Rukia laughed.

Laughed like a maniac actually. Those poor desperate fools! So they wanted to take her on a rollercoaster ride, huh? Well, Rukia would be the one taking them for a spin…and then she'd do what she promised herself long ago. Buy this school and shut it the fuck down.

Once Rukia caught her breath from her hysterical laughter, she flipped her laptop open and logged on to her favorite website. Sadly, the yellow flashing box around Mr. Hyde profile picture was not blinking which meant he wasn't online. Rukia decided to send him an email instead. It read:

Hello there, Mr. Hyde. I won't be online for a little while because I'm about to fail school with style. But I know you'll find something more important to occupy your time. I'll see you around…maybe…

Sincerely,

Secrecy.

The next morning Rukia walked languidly to the dean's office. She was already half an hour late, but figured that was long enough to piss everyone off. Rukia was actually glad the main office was all the way across campus, and the long walk would add to her tardiness.

When Rukia entered the lush office, all eyes were on her. Jin was sitting next to the dean and Yoruichi, there was a small wooden chair sitting across from the three of them. Rukia crossed the room without a word and plopped down in the empty seat. Now it was three against one. But, Rukia figured: fuck it, she was fine wit those odds. She'd faced worse before.

"Can we speed this up," Rukia sighed, "I have places to go and things to do."

"Rukia," Yoruichi began patiently, "There are a lot of things we need to talk about."

"Do we?" Rukia replied dryly her eyes jumping from person to person.

"Yes we do." Yoruichi answered gritting her teeth slightly, "Let's start with this."

The dark-skinned woman thrust a huge stack of papers into Rukia's face. It was a copy of her internet access report. Yoruichi had a smug look on her face as the younger Kuchiki's eyes went impossibly as she stared at the internet report.

They knew about Mr. Hyde.

To Be Continued…
