A/N: Sooo sorry for this VERY VERY late chapter! I'm pretty sure most of you have forgotten what it was about already xp. Oh wells. If you like it enough to still read it then awesome, if not then that's okay, it doesn't really matter. So anyways, I've just been swamped with school stuff and plus I had writer's block which did not help anything. So, this is mostly dialogue again, but it does help develop the story, just a little bit, and the relationship between Ichigo and Rukia.

Chapter 6

The Next Day-

Ichigo, Ishida, and Inoue went to school as they had done the day before. Except now they were being trailed by Tohru, Yuki and Kyo.

When they had reached their classroom they entered. Everyone gawked in surprise because just yesterday, Kyo and Ichigo were fighting, and now they had walked in together. They all took their seats, trying to not feel their classmate's stares on them.

When Ichigo had sat down and his classmates surrounded him asking him questions about himself. Then all of a sudden he heard a very familiar voice.

"Hey, Ichigo!" The short girl said to him.

"Um, who are you again?" He struggled to remember.

"I'm Kuchiki Rukia, the new transfer student. It's nice to meet you!"

The look she gave him said, "Say anything and you're dead."

Ichigo gulped and said, "It's nice to meet you too."

Inoue had just walked into class and saw Kuchiki-san there.

"Kuchiki-san! Why are you here?!" Inoue asked in a surprised tone.

"Do you not want me to be here?" Rukia teased.

"No, no I mean, well you just disappeared yesterday, so suddenly, so I don't know, I just thought…" Inoue said fumbling for words.

"It's okay Inoue, I was just teasing you." Rukia said.

"Oh, haha I knew that." Inoue laughingly said.

"Hi Kuchiki-san." Ishida said, interrupting their conversation.

"Hey Ishida. Aren't you surprised that I'm here?"

"Not really. I mean, you did say that you were staying for a while."

Then the bell rang and they took their seats, and Rukia's seat was right next to his.

'Dammit, this is going to be a long day.' Ichigo thought as he saw Rukia talking to the students sitting next to her.

After school Rukia ran to catch up with Ichigo. "Hey,Ichigo!" She smiled warmly at him.

"Hi." Ichigo replied curtly.

"Aren't you going to say something else?" Rukia inquired.

"What do you want me to say shorty?"

"I'm not short! It's just that you're too tall!"

"Whatever."

"Apologize!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

Knowing that it would be a pointless argument he sighed, and swallowed his pride. "I'm sorry, I was still angry, and let it out on you." He waited for "apology accepted" but it never came. Instead he got an elbow in the side.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?!"

"You dumbass! That was pay back! Bwahaha."

"Why you little-!"

Yet again he was interrupted, but this time by Inoue's voice.

"Hi Kurosaki-kun and Kuchiki-san!" Inoue warmly greeted them.

"Inoue, what do you want?" Ichigo harshly asked.

"How rude Ichigo! Apologize right now!" Rukia demanded.

"You can't control me!" Ichigo exclaimed.

"Do you want me to elbow you again?!"

Ichigo gulped. "I'm sorry Inoue."

Inoue looked surprised. "Oh, um… It's okay Kurosaki-kun."

"Great, now that that's settled, I have something to ask you Ichigo."

Rukia began to drag Ichigo away. She looked over her shoulder and called out, "Bye Inoue! I'll see you later!"

Inoue was glued to the spot. "Bye Kuchiki-san!" She meekly called back. 'Amazing! Kuchiki-san was able to make Kurosaki-kun apologize and we've only known her for one day!' Inoue thought to herself.

Back to Rukia and Ichigo:

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go of me!" Ichigo demanded.

"No." Was Rukia's curt reply.

"What do you mean 'no'?!"

"I mean no."

"What do you want from me?!" Ichigo demanded.

"You don't need to know."

"Hell yeah I do!"

"You'll find out soon enough." Rukia then smirked menacingly.

'Oh, crap, I'm in a load of trouble.' Ichigo thought sadly to himself.

10 minutes later, after many slaps on the head, and kicks on the butt, they finally made it to their destination. It was a small park, and no one seemed to be around.

"Okay, so what are we doing here?" Ichigo asked because he was confused.

"I'm gonna test out a theory."

"Huh?" Ichigo's expression got dumber by the sentence.

Rukia didn't answer him, and instead she opened her bag and took out a red glove. On the glove there was a skull, with blue flames surrounding it.

'I wonder what that is.' Ichigo thought to himself.

Rukia put the glove on, and all of a sudden Ichigo felt her hand on his face. NOT in a romantic way, more like a direct hit in the face. Then suddenly, he saw his body hit the floor. Wait, what did he just see?! He SAW his own body hit the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Ichigo shouted. He looked down at himself and saw that he was wearing a black kimono, very much like the one that Rukia wore. Then he felt a pressure on his back and when he went to feel what it was, cold metal touched his fingers.

"So… my theory was correct." Rukia muttered to herself. "But, why the hell is his zanpaktou so huge?"

"What theory?! Why is my body on the ground?! Why the hell does the space look all disorientated?! What the hell are you?! Where the hell are we?! Why am I dressed like you?! What's a zanpakutou?!" Ichigo started shooting questions like no tomorrow.

"Shut up!" Rukia angrily said, a vein popping from her head.

"You're the one who did this to me!" Ichigo said, a vein now popping from his head.

"Shut up!"

"Try to shut me up!"

'Should I report this to Soul Society?' Rukia was thinking to herself, trying to drone out Ichigo's annoying voice.

"Oi! Did you hear me?!"

"Do you want another elbow to the ribs?"

"No ma'am."

"Then shut the hell up!"

Then all of a sudden a senkaimon gate opened in the sky above them.
