Ichigo scowled silently as he saw a certain raven haired figure race through the gates. He hid his face with a book,hissing warnings to him."Ignore the girl,ignore the girl,ignore the..!"He stopped suddenly.

She had a guy with him.

And for some reason,that really pissed him off.

Stomping towards the red-haired newcomer,Ichigo muttered curses under his breath. Finally planting himself in front of the rash-looking punk,Ichigo harshly demanded who he was,what was he doing here,why he was walking with Rukia-er,Kuchiki.

"ANSWER YOU POMPOUS BRAT!"he roared,spit spraying from his lips.

Looking slightly amused,Rukia stepped back as Baboon King gave his reply.

"Number one;I'm Abarai Renji,transfer student."He took one step towards Ichigo."Number two;obviously since I'm in a school,I'm here to learn,aren't I?" Another step towards the offending brat."Number three.."Here he began to start running towards Ichigo."KUCHIKI RUKIA IS MY GIRLFRIEND!"He thrust out a menacing fist.

Poor Ichigo.

He was so surprised he didn't dodge the punch,and the blow was delivered.

"G-girlfriend..?"he stammered,before blacking out.

Rukia made a 'tsk,tsk' noise."Hey,Renji you didn't have to sock him THAT hard!He's out cold!Shuuhei and Izuru were right,you ARE possesive!" Embarrassed,Renji grinned largely and rubbed the back of his head.

He shuffled his feet awkwardly. His chance. His mind was screaming, "TAKE IT!TAKE THE CHANCE!"Finally,he gave in. "Erm,well,that's because I have um,a great girlfriend."Grinning slyly,he whirled her around and ducked his head down,preparing to give her a big sloppy wet one.

Then he felt the pain on his arm. He howled and clutched at it,effectively releasing Rukia. He barely saw her sprinting away. Of course,with Ichigo's confrontation and defeat,school was forgotten.

"See you I think I hear Shuuhei calling!Coming!Bye Renji!"She squealed in an unregular high pitched voice.

The sound of the hurried footsteps and rushed reply stayed in Renji's ears long after their owner had left them.

"Rejected,"Renji thought bitterly."I ruined it for Saturday too."Kicking Ichigo's prone figure,he wordlessly walked to class. Chances were fucking evil.

"Fuck."

"FUCK."

"FUCK!!"

Kira looked worriedly at Rukia."Kuchiki-sama!There will be no cursing under this roof as long as I have something to do with it."His words were responded with a dark "Shut up Kira."Now he KNEW something was wrong. Whenever she said his name like that she was in a stormy mood. "Y-yes,Kuchiki-sama,"he stammered."I will go get Hisagi-san. And if you want,"he paused."..you can call me Izuru.."

Rukia looked up,surprised. He only made that offer on rare occasions. Very rare occasions. About to question him,she sat up. But,blushing furiously,Kira left the room,bellowing Shuuhei's name.

In a couple of moments,the lean black-haired chef was at the door,panting."You called,Kuchiki-sama..?"Then he noticed the wan expression on her face."Who was it Kuchiki-sama?!I shall have them answer to me immediately!!"

Rukia sighed and picked herself up from the sheets."Renji. He..he tried to kiss me." Shuuhei's eyes bulged and he looked as furious as a pissed bull."..but I ran off."Rukia added hastily. Renji was still her buddy. She didn't want him ripped limb from limb..well,maybe.

"You should break up with him Rukia-sama."

"Shuuhei,we've been over this..I've been in a six year relationship with him. SIX."

"But-"

"Hisagi!"

She used his last name to address him."But-"he sighed."Very well Kuchiki-sama..as you wish."Now all he had to do was make her happy."Alright,Shuuhei..use your store of knowledge to brighten Kuchiki-sama's day!"he muttered.

And as always,the day was saved by the unique chef.

"AHAHAHHAHAHAHA-SH-SHUUHEI-HAHAHAHHA!!"Kira choked.

"M-MY GOD,HAHAHA,Y-YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO HAHA!"Rukia laughed. She clutched at her belly and laughed harder. With 6 broken chopsticks,2 onigiri and a variety of vegetables,Shuuhei had recreated a bust of a VERY silly-looking Kuchiki Byakuya. And it was all edible. Rukia burst into another fit of giggles as Shuuhei attempted to add a cherry nose.

Finally Shuuhei put down the cherry.

"I CAN'T DO IT-HAHAHAHAHA-TOO-HILARIOUS-oh,my stomach-aghh..HAHA Byakuya!!"Banging the table Shuuhei laughed hysterically. Luckily,the rest of dinner went on with laughter and good moods.

When the Bust a la Byakuya was eaten,Shuuhei cleared his throat.

"Ahem. Kuchiki-sama did you enjoy the meal?"

"Of course Shuuhei!Nii-sama tasted delicious!"

"I'm glad you liked it,Rukia-sama!"chuckled Shuuhei,glad he could cheer up the petite girl. He took a deep breath and braced himself for what was to come. "So,who do you want to cook tomorrow?Yumichika or Ikkaku?"

"I think Ayesegawa-san,because you know what Ikkaku's like,"murmured Rukia, taking a sip of water. Then she spat it out all over the table."Bleh!WHAT DID YOU SAY SHUUHEI?!"

The chef cringed.

"Umm,well..uhh.."

"SHUUHEI!"

Wincing,Shuuhei replied carefully."See,a friend of mine called,he er,needs help with a boy around your age.."

"A boy?What's his name?"

"Umm,I don't know,but I agreed..I mean,Tetsuzaemon,he's a good guy,I owe him a lot."

Rukia pouted and folded her arms across her chest. Her chef had fixed up the Renji mishap with the Bust a la Byakuya,then spoiled the good dinner with the news. Sensing her unhappiness,Shuuhei tried to reassure her.

Nothing worked,and as a final resort,Shuuhei made an offer that would change Kuchiki Rukia's life forever. Little did he know it,but fate had struck the moment the first sound waves had left his lips.

"Rukia-sama,would you-would you like to come with me?"

Her head snapped to him so fast he thought it would pop off and roll away."I could cook for you still and you'd meet this mystery boy..?"And hopefully break up with that Renji."And you could travel around Karakura Town a bit.."And find there's more than that Renji."And..uh.."And beat up that Renji to a bloody pulp!!

She considered it carefully.

"Shuuhei.."

Cook for her still,huh..?

"I think.."

Mystery boy..hm.

"I'll.."

Travel?Karakura?

"I think I'll come with you Shuuhei."
