DICALMER: I DONT OWN BLEACH


Chapter: 6
Just Getting Started

Thursday:
Rukia's POV:

I woke up, it was another boring day, for another boring year, and it was a Thursday. I always hated Thursday's, it reminded me of the great weekend you could have, but practically laughed at you because you still had Friday to go. Plus, I still had Ichigo and Toshiro to babysit. Yay…

I went to my restroom and I took a shower, enjoying the hot water as it crashed down on my head, I got out and put on a fresh batch of cloths (which was usually and normal T-shirt with skinny jeans). When I went down to the kitchen, I got the piece of toast Byakuya always left for me on t at the unique plate that sat at the counter. I got my backpack just as Byakuya came in the kitchen.

"Rukia…" he started, with the same boring expression on his face "I have a business meeting to go to, but it's in Europe, so I won't be back for at least a week." He finished in a matter-of-fact kind of tone.

I nodded "Yes Nee-Sama, I understand." I said. Well, what else would I say? It wasn't like I was talking to Rangiku or something, so instead I kept my satisfied thought to myself. 'Hell ya! A week without Nee-Sama, Toshiro, and Ichigo, this weekend just got way better!'

"Do you want company?" Byakuya asked breaking my joyous thoughts.

"No, I will be fine, Nee-Sama." I said swinging my bag over my shoulder and walking out the ebony door and waited outside for the bus. When Byakuya said 'Company' I knew what he meant…Babysitter. No way that I, Rukia Kuchiki, was going to get a babysitter, I would absolutely refuse!

The big yellow bus pulled over, Toshiro at the window seat and Ichigo no wear to be seen. I walked up the busses stairs and nodded at the bus driver saying 'hi', then I made my way over to Toshiro, sitting next to him. "Ichigo still isn't here?" I asked putting my bag on the dirty floor.

"We haven't made the stop at his house yet." Toshiro said simply.

I nodded and slumped back in understanding.


Kurosaki's House:
Ichigo's POV:

I slowly got up from my bed, grabbing my head in pain. Bottom line was that I wasn't feeling good. Ever since last night my head has been killing me, I guess it was the stress from all the costumers from last night. I started walking out the door and down the stairs, not even bothering to take a shower, but before I could even reach the kitchen my dad came up to me and for the first time, he was serious.

"Ichigo…" he said. "I need to tell you something…"

I was very confused and the more I thought about it, the more my head hurt. "Fine…" I said giving in; the pain was so bad I couldn't even argue with my dad. I walked back up the wooden stairs, my dad fallowing close behind. When I got to my door I opened it, walking in and sitting on my bed. I heard my dad shut the door and walked slowly toward my desk. Whatever he wanted to tell me was very serious.

My dad, Isshin, pulled out my desk's chair and rolled it in front of me sitting on it and staring at me right in the eyes. "Son…" he started. I leaned in, I was actually interested in my father's talk, I mean, this was a rare moment in life, my father was never serious. "I AM SO HAPPY!" he said his goofy grin appearing and trying to wrap his arms around me and pull me into a hug.

I pushed him back, causing him to fall to the floor, before he could even jump out of his chair and touch me, or I should say 'hug me'. I knew it was too good to be true. "YOU ASS!" I shouted pointing at my hurt father that was on the ground grunting "I thought you were actually serious?"

My dad quickly got up and put on his goofy grin again "But son, don't you see, how can I be serious when your finally entering your Soul Reaper Stage?" He shouted and his brown eyes glimmering in joy.

I gawked at my deluded father "I am a what?" I asked getting up from the bed. 'What the hell is a Soul Reaper' This had to be a joke; it had to be some deluded prank my dad was trying to pull so I could freak out. 'This has to be a joke!'

"Son, you're a Soul Reaper! You have the power to help spirits pass on, and execute those stupid Hallows!" said my dad with a ear to ear smile of his face, he got up at put his hands on my shoulders. "We should get to the Soul Society quickly!" he said, then softer he muttered "Oh! And I must inform Byakuya quickly…"

"What the hell is a Soul Society? And what does Byakuya have to do with this?" I asked panic sweeping over me. I couldn't even comprehend what I was saying!

My dad smile widened and turned into a wicked one "It will be easier if I showed you…" and he quickly put on a strange looking blue glove with a picture of a skull on fire. All I saw was his fist making contact with my face and everything going black. It felt like a few hours past, before I started to hear voices…

"Ichigo…" said a feminine voice. It sounded like Rukia's but it was softer.

"Rukia?" I asked the darkness, looking frantically around the black universe "Where are you?" I shouted hoping to get a reply.

"Ichigo!" the voice that sounded like Rukia shouted, it was in pain, not physically, but emotionally. It sounded like it was lost, and hopeless, drowning in its own pain, regretting all its mistakes.

An evil laugh echoed in my head "What d o you think the king will do when the queen is missing, Zangetsu?" said a cold, raspy voice that belonged to a man. The voice made me shiver, the tone was horrible and the way he laughed with death bringing.

"Cut it out Shirosaki, Ichigo has been through enough." Said another voice, it wasn't raspy at all, it was husky and bold. It had a tone that would stand out in a crowd and echo madly.

"Aww… cant I play with his mind before I crush him like a twig?" the voice called Shirosaki asked, whining to the other voice but still sounding evil and cold, his words weren't real they were serious, whoever he was really wanted me gone.

"Don't be so cocky Shirosaki, Ichigo's life lessons have taught him a lot, and who knows, his father's genus might kick in." said the voice call Zangetsu. He was talking in a matter-of-fact kind of tone.

"Cht… Whatever… like that bastard has what it takes to beat me!" said Shirosaki, his raspy voice ringing through the walls and bouncing off the darkness, making his voice echo even louder.

I finally slapped myself mentally noticing that the voices were talking about me, right in front of me. Those voice-talking bastards! "HEY!" I shouted at the darkness my call echoing. "Show yourselves!" I yelled, my voice echoed louder shattering the black walls. The darkness disappeared, falling to the ground. I was standing on a building's roof, the sky was dark and cloudy, about to rain, and the building's surrounding me was so high that I couldn't see the ground. Hehe… I think I was developing a fear of heights.

"Turn around." hissed the raspy, cold voice, known as Shirosaki.

I did what the voice said, turning around, quickly, being careful not to drop my guard. I saw the two men; one had long, brown, wavy hair, and a narrow face. He had a five o'clock shadow, and he wore a with long, ankle length black jacket with black pants, and dark shady sun glasses that covered his eyes completely. The other man was like looking in a mirror, he looked exactly like me, but there was also a major difference, his hair and skin was dead white, and his pupils were electrifyingly gold, and his *sclera* was pitch black, but he most weirdest thing I noticed was that he had big, overly sized sword, that was strapped to his back by a scarlet red chain.

My defective clone laughed, (and I noticed he had a blue tongue), his arm reaching up, grabbing the red hilt of his sword and saying with his raspy voice, "I, Shirosaki, am going to demolish my king, like the wuss he is!"

"Who are you guys?" I asked, ignoring Shirosaki's comment completely, "What do you want from me?"

Shirosaki pulled out his sword, pointing it directly at me. "Power…" Shirosaki hissed, and he charged at me swinging his sword back over his shoulders and getting ready to slice me in two.

I closed my amber eyes and put my arms over my head instinctively. 'Aww crap! I am going to die before I even eat breakfast!'

There was a large 'Clang' sound, and I felt nothing. I opened my eyes and saw that the man in the black coat, he was blocking Shirosaki's sword with only one hand on his cold, black, thin sword. I relaxed my arms and put them to my side, straightening up, still shocked that I almost died from my defective clone. "Th-thank you…" I muttered to the man in the long black coat.

The man in the black coat flickered his eyes towards me and then black to Shirosaki, "Shirosaki," he said coldly, "let me take care of this," he said thrusting his sword forward and pushing Shirosaki's sword off his, making the defective clone stagger back.

Shirosaki grunted in frustration and glared at the man in the black coat. It was a giant stare down, that lasted quite a while. Shirosaki finally gave in, "Fine!" he said putting his sword on his back again, making it attach to his red chain. "I'll leave," he said "But, remember this Zangetsu: I will never give up." A wicked smile appeared on his face and he looked towards me, "Ichigo Kurosaki," he said hissing my name "Don't stay too comfortable, because, one day, king, I shall be!" he laughed, his blue tongue appearing and his eyes turning mad, in a matter of seconds he started to disintegrated into black specs of dust, his evil laughs still echoing off the walls.

I stared at the spot where Shirosaki once stood and then I tore my eyes to look at the man in the black coat saying, "Well… that was creepy…" honestly, it was. I was in a world I didn't even know existed, got threatened by my defective clone, and was stuck with a silent-no-talky guy in black. I think this was number one on my 'Weird Things that Happen to me' list. And yes, I actually have one of those…

The man in the black coat named Zangetsu said nothing, but he turned around to look at me, his brown eyes piercing through his black sun glasses and through me as well. "Kurosaki Ichigo," he said starting, "Allow me to explain…" His tone of voice made me start to fidget, a lot. "In order to become a Soul Reaper you must defeat me in a duel." He was dead serious; the words that came out of his mouth were bold and not raspy at all. "I am your sword, Zangetsu, and I make the rules to this duel." He finished his eyes narrowing on to me.

Something in me burned, I instantly got angry. My hands clenched into fist and I felt my muscles start to harden. 'Why is this punk telling me what to do?' "Fine!" I shouted, "Tell me the rules!" I felt a rush on power, and dominance going in and out my body, giving me energy. I was having a alluring reaction to the word 'Fight' it was as if my body was telling me to attack, telling me to fight.

I noticed that Zangetsu's sword was gone; he was waiting for me to say or do something. After a two minute stare down between Zangetsu and me, he finally turned around giving me his back. "Well then… Let us begin…" in a flash, Zangetsu was gone, and I looked around frantically searching for him. "Ichigo!" shouted his voice. He was right in front of me, about 20 feet away, standing normally.

I gawked at Zangetsu, eyes wide and mouth open 'How did he get over there so quickly?' I thought trying to comprehend what had happened just a few seconds ago.

"It's called flash step…" Zangetsu said reading my thoughts. "Soul Reapers are the only ones who can do a flash step." Zangetsu explained, holding out his right arm to the sky. The rain cloud started to darken and a flash of thunder hit his hand and the 'Roar' of the thunder echoed across the sky. Where the thunder had struck Zangetsu's hand left his thin, black, shiny sword. He pointed his sword at me, the tip of his sword glimmering with the light of the muted thunder. "The rules are," he started "That there will be 100 swords, if you lose each and every one of them without stabbing me then I win." He finished.

I smirked "And how am I suppose to win?" I asked raising a brow.

Zangetsu smirked back "You just have to stab me once, but I seriously doubt that will happen." Once he said that he held up his free hand in front of him, and snapped his fingers making a loud 'Snap'. Instantly, 100 swords appeared piercing the roof, all different in shape, size, and color.

I was flowing with power, something in me said to get a sword and attack, but when I didn't, it felt like fighting my natural instinct. I slapped myself mentally remembering I had a battle to win. "So all I have to do is stab you? That sounds too easy." I grabbed the nearest sword and I felt more energy flow through me, it was as if the sword was giving me energy, like a battery almost. It was feeding me energy, charging me up with strength, I even felt me grip tighten on the sharp sword.

Zangetsu only laugh, it was as if he knew that I enjoyed the energy that was flowing through me, and with a final chuckle, he charged at me, I charged back, our swords hit with a loud 'Clang' that echoed through the cloudy universe. I felt my sword vibrate in my hand, and shutter through my body. I was looking directly into Zangetsu's glasses. He smiled right in front of my face, the smirk growing wider. That caught me off guard, he was in the middle of battle and he was smiling? Who was this man, and why was I getting involved. Zangetsu twisted his sword, making mine fly into the air. Before my sword even fell back down to the floor, it disintegrated, not into black specs like Shirosaki did, but into white ones. They glittered down on us, and I had to tear my eyes off the glittering sky to look at Zangetsu who was smirking haughtily again.

"One." He said.

I broke out of my dumbstruck state and scowled at him, 'This guy is good… How the hell can I beat him?' I looked around for the nearest sword. I found one, silky grey with a hooked tip, I instantly grabbed it and charged at Zangetsu, energy pounding through me. In one swift move, Zangetsu blocked with an under arm swing, sending my sword flying into the air once again. "That makes two." He said under his breath "Don't rush…" and with that, he jumped back and a into his fighting position once again, his sword in front of him pointing a directly at me and his stance nearly perfect.

I grunted and grabbed the next sword. It was black and thick, and had a dagger shape hilt. "Look," I said narrowing my eyes at Zangetsu "Stop talk'en and start swing'en." I went into my defense stance and let Zangetsu attack first. He did. He charged at me and I blocked his move underhandedly, with all my strength, trying to push up on his sword. I didn't work, instead he pushed his thin sword forward, attempting to stab my head, but instead he cut my cheek. I went into shock, eyes widen, and muscles weak. I could feel the cold blood, which was once warm, run down my pale cheek dropping slowly to the cement floor. Zangetsu, on the other hand, showed no emotion, he swung his sword down, hitting mine, and making it descend out of my lifeless hands. I could only gawk at the strong man before me.

"Don't get to comfortable, this might not be a real match but it doesn't mean you can tell you opponents what to do. The people who really want to fight you won't graze your cheek, they would go for the kill." He was serious, his voice was so cold, and my whole body shuddered under his words. This man, was he for real?

After 96 painful defeating round later, (Which may I add, is a total of 99, if you know how to count), I was tired, I was hungry, and I was down to my last sword, my 100th sword. 'Why am I even doing this?' I thought. "Yo! Zangetsu!" I said getting Zangetsu's attention "Why the hell am I doing this test anyway?" I asked.

Zangetsu smiled "To become a Soul Reaper, you see, I am your Soul Spirit, Shirosaki is my evil half and-"

I cut him off before he could finish. "Wait so you're saying that every Soul Reaper has two Soul Spirits or are you guys like a package deal?" I asked raising a brow in confusion.

Zangetsu sighed "Yes we are like a 'package deal', and as I was saying, in order to become a Soul Reaper, the person must defeat the task that was given to them by their Soul Spirits." Zangetsu said simply.

I scratched my bloody head confused. "What if I don't wanna be a Soul Reaper?" I asked childishly.

Zangetsu furiously sighed again, cursing under his breath. "Becoming a Soul Reaper is entirely you choice, at least, finish my task so you can't get out of your inner world or all this fighting will be a waste of time."

"Fine." I said, walking to the area were the last sword was and picking it up. It was a black thick sword, shaped like an overly sized kitchen knife. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it was and it was sharp. It was so sharp I bet it could cut a tree in half. When I made contact with the overly sized kitchen knife I felt an immediate connection, it was not only giving me energy but I was giving it energy, out contact made an instantaneous energy cycle. "Let's do this." I smiled pointing the kitchen knife sword at Zangetsu.

Zangetsu smirked, lowering his head. "It's about time."

That was all I needed, and in an instant I charged, Zangetsu taking off at the same time as I did. Our swords hit with a loud, echoing 'Clang' that shook the whole inner world. The clouds darkened and it started to rain, soaking my cloths and holding me down. I expect it did the same to Zangetsu because he jumped back, creating a gap between our distance. Our eyes made contact. Zangetsu gave a wicked smirk and instantly a black fire surrounded him, circling him. I felt more power rise in me too; it was like I drank 12 bottles of Monster in an hour. I glanced to my side and I saw, out of the corner of my eyes, a neon blue fire starting to surround me. It didn't burn, and it didn't drain my energy, it gave me more.

As the fire got bigger I couldn't feel the rain, I could see its slow movements falling, trying to bring me weakness, but I couldn't feel it. I looked back at Zangetsu and smiled my sword in front of me and my energy peaked. "This is it…" I muttered to myself and I attacked dead on, Zangetsu doing the same.

I felt quick and sharp pain, and I could feel the cold blood that was once warm, running down lower abdomen and down my thigh, hitting the cement floor with a soundless 'Drip'. I couldn't see the neon fire that had once surrounded me, and I couldn't see Zangetsu's black fire. All I felt was the cold, thin, blade piercing my stomach, and a warm body connected to my sword. Everything was silent.


On Bus:
Rukia's POV:

The bus pulled to another rough stop, Toshiro and I looked out the bus's dirty window, staring at the Kurosaki's house and waiting for the orange haired teen to come out with a loaf of bread in his mouth.

Nothing.

"Do you think he is dead?" Toshiro asked, still staring out the window.

I sighed and slumped back into my seat "I don't know." I said "Ichigo is that type of person who forgets things very easily."

Toshiro looked at me surprised at raised a brow. "Are you suggesting Ichigo is so forgetful, that he would actually forget a every day thing such a school?" He asked as the bus started to move again.

I smiled "You never know," I said "From the time I spent you guys so far, right now I would believe anything is possible."

Toshiro just kept a serious look on. "Ya I guess…" he said slowly.

I sighed again, bored and sleepy. Toshiro just looked out the window, watching the trees, houses, and car quickly pass by. 'Is Toshiro depressed? Is he not telling me something? Did something happen to him?' I broke the long silence, "Toshiro," I said looked out the window as well. "Are you ok?" I asked. I could feel something was wrong. Usually Toshiro would be irritating me and starting some weird, nonsense fight. Now he was just quite, which was very, very weird, for him at least.

He looked at me and put on a fake smile "Ya, I am fine." He said simply.

I was a bit suspicious, but I let I go because I was to tried to even suggest a comment. "Fine." I said sighing again "Whatever you say." I finished, starting to look out the window and watch the sunrise colors disappear. 'Toshiro sure is acting weird. I wonder if something happened…'

"So," said Toshiro breaking my thoughts. "Have you gone on your 'Date' with Mr. Hagiwara yet?" he asked smirking.

I felt my face burn a little. "I already told you it isn't a date, it is an interview," I said crossing my arms over my stomach and turning around to hide my blushing face from the white haired troll. "And no I haven't gone on the interview with Kazuya yet."

"Kazuya? Your using his first name now?" Toshiro asked raising a brow.

I rolled my eyes "Well he isn't here," I smirked "Gosh Toshiro, don't get over excited." I said sarcastically.

Toshiro smiled back "Sure…" he said also sarcastically, rolling his emerald eyes and landing them back on me.

I sighed and picked up my bag, putting it on my lap and opening it, digging through the mess and pulling out my book. I putt it next to me, on the empty stop on the seat, and I closed my bag setting it back on the floor and, getting my book starting to read.

Toshiro glanced at the title of my book and a question quickly popped into his head, "You're reading 'Romeo and Juliet'?" he asked referring to my book.

I didn't take my eyes off the words that were pasted into my book, but I retorted "Ya, is there a problem?" I asked turning the page and fallowing the words my navy eyes.

"Cht, no, I just thought you weren't into that stuff." He said crossing his arms over his chest.

I tore my eyes off the words and looked at the snowy haired boy raising a brow, "What do you think I am into?" I asked.

Two words popped into Toshiro's head, and they were 'Aww crap…' ya he was is big trouble and he knew it. "W-well I-I…" he started stumbling on his own words. "Oh come on!" he whined giving up.

I rolled my eyes and went back to my book. "Dumbass…"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

I laughed, "Stop being such a Drama Queen, Toshiro!" I said.

"I am not!" he shouted back, his cerulean eyes turning dark blue. He was already ready to throw a tantrum when the bus pulled to another stop and the force made him hit his head on the seat in front of him, making me laugh only harder. "OW!" he shouted.

I laughed even harder grabbing my stomach in pain, "Ha! See that's what you get for being a jerk!" I said smiling, finally my laughter stopping.

Toshiro rubbed his head in pain, "Oh shut the hell up…" he said reaching down and grabbing his bag from the floor. "Come on," he said. "We got class to get too."

I grabbed my bag and shoved my book in it, carrying it over my shoulders and getting up from the seat. "Ya, ok." I said simply, waiting for a gap to open in the large crowd and squeezing in, with Toshiro right behind me. We walked down the bus, into the first building and spit up, when we went to out lockers. I walked up to my locker and found Rangiku, waiting for me with a big cat-like smile on her face.

"RUKIA~CHAN!" she shouted grabbing me into her 'Death Hug' and choking me with her big… Assets. "Good Morning!" she said still hugging me.

"Mhmnmnmnm." Was all that came out of my mouth.

"Huh?" Rangiku said releasing me a bit. I gasped for air before she could bring me into another death hug.

"Rangiku!" I said between gasps. "BOOKS!" I shouted, trying to give her the hint that I needed to get my books from my locker so I could get to my first class. It didn't work, instead her grasp just tightened.

"Hey Rukia, Rangiku!" I heard Renji call out as her jogged up towards us. Once he saw Rangiku choking me the words were taken out of his mouth. "R-R-Rangiku…" he started shuddering. "I-I think you should s-stop… R-Rukia already passed out!" he said trying not to get into the problem.

Rangiku release me and I took a huge gasp for air. "R-Rangiku!" I said "How the hell did you get your breast to be that BIG?" I shouted still gasping for air.

Renji just blushed.

I let out a big breath of air and turned to my locker opening it, and grabbing my books out and shoving them into my bag. "So what's up guys?" I asked my friends.

Renji snapped out of his perverted state. "Ya, um Ichigo didn't come today?" he asked looking around for any sigh of the orange haired teen.

Rangiku noticed too. "Oh ya!" she exclaimed, "I knew someone wasn't here!"

I looked at them "Ya," I said playing around with my bags strap, but not taking my eyes off them, "Ichigo isn't here today, and he probably slept in." I said still looking at the two strange haired colored teens.

"Figures…" they both said simultaneously.

I smiled and I started walking towards my class, waving bye to the two teens "Bye!" I shouted. When I reached my homeroom Toshiro was already there sitting on his desk smirking widely. I rolled my navy eyes and took the seat next to Toshiro setting my bag down and taking out my homework.

The bell rang and the teacher started her lesson.

Toshiro yawned widely and I through a piece of paper at him, getting his attention. "Stop it!" I mouthed. He just glared at me and shook his head.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at the teacher taking more notes.

By the time lunch had started I was starving, I needed food. The bell rang announcing the lunch break had started. I was the first one out of the class, and I was the first one in line. I grabbed my plate, grabbed a PB&J and some sides. I instantly walked out and sat down with my friends, right next to Rangiku. "Hey!"
I said smiling and taking off the foil from my PB&J.

"Hey." They all said.

Rangiku looked around and she instantly saw the Substitute teacher Kazuya Hagiwara. "Look!" she said leaning in and pointing to the substitute.

I looked to where she was pointing and saw Kazuya. "Oh ya," I said chewing on the PB&J. I swallowed in one gulp and hiccupped jumping off my seat a bit. "That's Kazuya Hagiwara." I said simply.

Toshiro smiled and looked at Renji with an evil smile, and he moved his hand in a 'Come here' motion. Renji did so. Toshiro started to whisper in Renji' ear making a wicked grin come over his face. The two boys looked at me and there smile widened. Then they looked at Kazuya and waved their hands frantically in the air.

"YO!" Renji shouted getting Kazuya's attention. "Mr. Hagiwara!"

"Come here!" Toshiro finished for Renji also waving his hand in the air.

Kazuya's eyebrows furrowed and he walked over to the table. "Ya?" he asked, stopping in front of Toshiro. He noticed me and in a instant, a smile appeared on his face. "Rukia!" he exclaimed. "Hey, are you free today?" he asked immediately.

Toshiro gave a giant smirk to Renji and held out his hand, Renji sighed and rolled his eyes, reaching in his back pocket pulling out his wallet, and opening it, taking out five bucks, handing them to Toshiro.

I quickly glared at the two boys and looked back at Kazuya smiling "Umm, ya I am free." I said. Rangiku smiled widened and she let out a high-pitched squeak of excitement. 'I can't believe they made a bet on me! Those BAKA'S!' I screamed mentally.

"Great!" Kazuya said happily. "We can meet up at the local Chile's restaurant, or do you want me to drive you?" he offered.

I smile "Sure!" I said happily, if Toshiro and Renji were going to play that way, than I was too, and the only way I could do that is if I showed them I was totally interested and freak them out. "I will wait for you after school." I said.

He nodded "Ok, well, see ya later!" he said waving bye and leaving.

I looked at Renji and Toshiro. They twitched. "Well?" I asked innocently.

Toshiro almost choked "Rukia, are you sure about this?" he asked.

I furrowed my eyebrow "What are you talking about, Toshiro?" I asked.

Renji answered for him "Your going on a date with a guy you don't even know!" He said. "Rukia you're not stupid!" he said.

I rolled my eyes "Well that didn't seem to bother you when you were making a bet on my choice!" I said sticking out my tongue at the two.

Rangiku smiled "Oh you guys are so immature!" she said "Renji, Toshiro, it's just a date-"

"Interview…" I corrected breaking Rangiku off.

Rangiku rolled her eyes, "Ya an 'Interview' anyways, that is what you guys get for betting on someone's choice!" she said putting her hands on her hips and nodding rapidly.

I nodded with her "Well, you idiots are idiots, so I guess I can't completely blame you." I said smirking and enjoying my come-back.

Toshiro and Renji looked at each other and looked back at us. Toshiro started first "Sure whatever," he said rolling his eyes "like we care."

I raised a brow "Ok," I said grabbing my plate and smiling "I guess I will see you tomorrow." I said walking away and passing the trash can, throwing my food away. Rangiku just wickedly smiled at the two boys.

They looked at each other and knew what they had to do.

Spy.


After school I waited in the CPR room for Kazuya to finish up his paper work. I finished up my homework and was texting Rangiku who was probably finding a way to put a spy camera on the restaurant so that she could see the whole date. Instead, it was Toshiro and Renji who were spying, but without the cameras. But of course I had no idea.

"Rukia, are you ready?" Kazuya asked.

I looked at him and smiled "Ya, let's go." I said getting up and fallowing him out the school and into the parking lot. He pulled out his keys and pressed the button on the right, making a black Porsche Carrera GT blink. Damn, it was one nice car…

He smiled "Come on." He said opening the passenger's seat and allowing me to enter.

"Thanks…" I said, sitting on the leather seats and gawking at all the glowing buttons in the car. It was like a dance club in your own car, and the windows were tinted so that it looked dark.

Kazuya sat next to me and put the keys in the car and starting the engine. He dove off; I couldn't even feel the bumps on the road, the car was so smooth and fast. In fact, I think if that car was going top speed it would only need three seconds to get to Chile's. Kazuya drove smoothly into a parking space, taking out the keys and cutting off the engine. We both stepped out, shutting the door; Kazuya pressed a button of the car keys, locking the car. We both walked into the restaurant, looking around the room for an empty table, when we found a booth a waiter came and took our order.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

Kazuya ordered first, I just asked for a salad, and the waiter left taking our orders.

Kazuya smiled at me, "So, how have you been?" he asked.

I responded, answering his question, but what I didn't know, was that two dumb assed boys were hiding on the booth across from us peeping through the mini bushes that separated us.

Booth next to us:
Toshiro and Renji's conversation: (no POV here)

Renji separated the mini bushes from each other, peeping through the small gap he created. Toshiro did the same, trying to get a good look at the two teens that were next to them.

"What do you think there talking about?" Renji whispered to Toshiro, squinting.

There was a long silence; Toshiro was just starring at the two beings. Toshiro broke the silence "They are talking about their day…" he muttered to Renji. Renji shivered when he heard Toshiro's cold voice come out of his mouth.

"Ok." Was all Renji could say.

Rukia let out a happy laughter Kazuya laughing along with her. Rukia's eyes turned a light purple color as she changed the attitude. Kazuya's light blue eyes also lightening up in the florescent lights.

"Shit they are laughing!" said Renji panicking. Toshiro just starred, not paying attention to the red head. Renji felt a small hand tap his shoulder.

"Umm… sir… Do you want to order?" asked a small, soft voice.

"No, we fine…" Renji answered not looking back to the waiter. He heard her walk off, still looking through the bushes.

Toshiro broke the cold silence… again… "He just said a," he started making Renji's eyes widen and mouth hang "joke…" he muttered, fishing. Renji's face fell, any moron could figure that out! Renji wanted to know what kind of joke it was!

"Ok, what kind out joke?" Renji asked.

Toshiro turned his head towards Renji, creating another long silence. "I don't know…" he said.

Again, Renji's face fell. Was he serious? Renji was just about to say something, but was cut off when a small hand was put on his shoulder. A vein popped out of Renji's head. "I already told you, I don't want any of you damn food!" he shouted barley turning around. Three seconds later he received a huge bump on his head.

"How dare you yell at me! BAKA!" shouted Rangiku holding her fist in the air threatening.

Toshiro glared at the two, bickering teens, holding a finger to his lips shushing them. "Shut up!" he whispered. The bickering teens shut up instantly, the same reaction on their faces.

"Ok…" they both muttered.

Toshiro looked back at Kazuya and Rukia, trying to hear their conversation. Rangiku stuck out her tongue to Renji and he did the same too her. It was going to be a hectic day…

After an hour or two, Rangiku was yawning sleepily, along with Renji, Toshiro still seriously spying on Rukia and Kazuya. Rukia started getting up, along with Kazuya fallowing her an grin on his face.

Toshiro got up, waking up Rangiku and Renji saying. "Come on, they're leaving." Toshiro said sneakily fallowing the Rukia and Kazuya, Rangiku and Renji not far behind.

Rukia's POV:

It was already time to go, and Kazuya and I were already leaving. I waited for him at the exit watching him pay the cashier. He finished and walked next to me "You ready?" he asked.

I smiled "Ya, let's go." I said simply, nodding. We both walked out the double door, and into the cold night. Kazuya took out his car keys and unlocked the car, we both opened that black doors sitting in. He quickly put the keys in the small slot next the steering wheel, turning on the engine. Hey smoothly pulled out of the parking lot and entered the street.

I glanced at the glowing clock, it said 7:48 in green lights, I looked back at Kazyua, then the street. I know I didn't say anything, but I felt like I was being watched when we were a Chile's. Even now I felt stalked. I quickly looked at the revue mirror and I saw a red Porsche fallowing us. 'Have I seen that car before? No I must be imagining things…'

When Kazuya reached my house he pulled to a smooth stop. I was just about to grab my bag when his voice stopped me.

"Umm…. Rukia…" He started. I looked at him, eyebrows furrowed. "I am going to be in *Kagoshima* for a while, so I am happy I got to spend my last night here." He said a huge grin appearing.

I smiled back "Thanks I enjoyed it too, oh, and good luck at Kagoshima." I said. I got my bag and opened the door getting out. I waved at Kazuya, and he drove off waving back. I was right about to open my houses door but out of the corner of my eyes I saw the red Porsche, that was the hint, I got in my house and locked the door, too creepy…

I opened my bag and got my book putting it back on couch, I went to my room, turning on my Chappy night light and staring to read. No Byakuya, no Toshiro, no Ichigo, no Renji, and no Rangiku, just me. I was really going to enjoy this weekend, to bad it was only Thursday...


Ichigo's inner world:
Ichigo's POV:

Zangetsu's sword and my sword had hit at the same time. My sword was piercing his body, and his was stabbing mine.

I gave Zangetsu a weak smile, "I guess you won…" I muttered, for that was the only thing I could say. 'I guess, I will never get to see the smile on my friends faces ever again…' I felt my body fall back, the slender sword detaching from my body, my clench still on my large, kitchen knife sword, and I linked with the cement roof. Everything went black.

Zangetsu gave a small weak chuckle, leaning on this sword for support "Stupid boy, you never dropped your sword, you… Won…" and with that said, Zangetsu's last bit of energy was spent, he fell crashing on the cement floor, opposite to my lifeless body.
