Hola! Sorry for the late updates. School, ya know? Anyways, I hope you like it! Give any suggestions, like characters or couples you want in here... I'm open to a lot of things. So yeah... here ya go :)
"Karin? Is that really you?" The young girl turned to Tatsuki and grinned.
"Hey," Karin greeted, "Haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah, I didn't recognize you at first," she said with a smile, "How ya doin?" Karin shrugged.
"Alright I guess." Just then a man's voice called her named. Karin turned back to Tatsuki and smiled.
"Well, I gotta go. See ya later!" she waved and eyed Rukia before glancing at Toshiro and running away. Once she disappeared through the crowd everyone turned to Tatsuki.
"You know that girl?" Rangiku asked.
"And didn't she say her last name was Kurosaki?" Momo added. Tatsuki shrugged.
"Yeah, she's Ichigo's little sister. When we were friends her and her twin Yuzu used to hang around us all the time. It's been a while, no wonder I didn't recognize her." Rangiku let out a disappointed sigh.
"Too bad Toshiro. Ichigo would probably kill you if you even talked to one of his little sisters. And you two would have looked so cute together…" The girls giggled at Toshiro's expense as he rolled his eyes and looked away. Soon the crowd faded, and Rukia spotted her brother near the opposite end of the field.
"Well," she said, interrupting the conversation Orihime and Rangiku were having about the use of bean paste, "My brother's here, so I've gotta go. See you tomorrow." They all said their goodbyes and Rukia split off to go join her brother.
"Hello brother," she said as they started walking towards the curb where the Cadillac was parked, "Where's Hisana and Queen Mean?" Byakuya sighed.
"Hisana is still over at Senna's hows, and Suki is out to lunch with friends. And I really wish you would stop calling her that, it's quite obnoxious." Rukia simply shrugged in response, then smirked mischievously.
"So I met my ballet teacher today," she said innocently, watching as Byakuya's eyes flashed with an emotion she didn't recognize. He remained silent, so she went on.
"Her name is Yoruichi. She's really pretty, you know?" Rukia watched as Byakuya tried hard to cover up his emotions.
"I mentioned you," she said, and almost laughed out loud at how much strain Byakuya was putting out to try and hold his emotions inside, "She said your name sounded familiar but she couldn't remember where from. Would you know?" Byakuya's icy façade was breaking inch by inch, and Rukia almost felt bad in torturing her brother like this.
"I," Byakuya started, before clearing his throat and speaking again, "I don't know. Maybe we met each other on business once or something." Rukia sighed. They had reached the car and Byakuya immediately got in, barely giving his sister enough time to climb in and shut the door before peeling away.
"You hiding things from me is really getting on my nerves," she stated, "Why can't you just tell me what's up between you and Yoruichi?" Byakuya sighed and shook his head.
"Ask her if you want to, but it's not something I would like to discuss with my little sister."
"Aha! So you admit you know Yoruichi! Did you two have a thing or something? Where did you meet?" Byakuya stayed silent, taking a deep breath before answering.
"As I said before, you would have to talk to her about it, although she might not remember." Rukia could detect sadness in her brother's voice at his last few words and suddenly felt bad.
"You know," she said in a softer voice, "She said that, but I don't think she meant it. She tried to cover up that she knew you like you did, but I think she did." Byakuya didn't answer, and it was silent all the way home.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow at his sister. Karin, the tomboy one of the pair, sat at the kitchen table just staring at her untouched food, seemingly deep in thought.
"What's with you?" he asked. Karin was usually the first one to dig into a meal, especially after a soccer game.
"Yeah Karin, aren't you hungry after all that running?" Yuzu asked concernedly. The black haired sibling simply shrugged.
"Well you won, so you should at least be happy about that," Ichigo told her. The three sat at the table, though the head chair and the one next to it was empty. Their father was working at the clinic at the moment, and their mother had passed away when Ichigo was nine, the girls even younger than that.
"I am," Karin mumbled, "I'm just not that hungry." Yuzu frowned.
"Well you don't sound it. Why don't you at least eat some of it so you're not hungry later," she suggested. Karin sighed and started shoveling food lazily into her mouth. Ichigo shook his head; he would never understand his sisters.
The next day at school Ichigo walked into his first class smiling. He didn't know what it was, but something about that girl Rukia made it actually fun to argue with her. He spotted her at her seat, studying her flute.
"Oi midget," he said. Rukia sighed in annoyance and glared up at him.
"What is it, Strawberry?"
"Don't focus so hard. You'll get wrinkles." Rukia snarled up at him as smirked.
"Look, Strawberry, you may get off on teasing small helpless kids but I came here to listen to Urahara talk about music not to listen to you with your stupid insults."
"So you're small and helpless?" Rukia groaned and stood up, glaring at him. This didn't do much since she only came up to about his chest.
"Do you ever shut up, Kurosaki?" Suddenly a small foot came out and nailed him in the shin. Surprisingly, even someone as small as Rukia could make a kick hurt. And it hurt a lot.
"Ow! Why you little-" As always they were interrupted by Urahara and sat down. The whole time, though, Ichigo couldn't keep his mind off of the small girl behind him.
At lunch Ichigo walked to his usual table. There sat his best friend, a red haired guy with a lot of tattoos named Renji, and some of his other friends.
"Hey," he greeted as he sat down, getting the same thing in response.
"Yo Kurosaki," Grimmjow, one of Ichigo's least favorite guys, called. Grimmjow Jaggerjaques had electric blue hair, green eyes, and was quite the ladies man. He often got in trouble for skipping or getting into fights with people for no reason.
"What is it, Grimmjow?" Ichigo asked tiredly, not in the mood to deal with this guy.
"Yeah, I get it, you don't like me. Wah, good for you. But I heard something and I thought you should hear it," Grimmjow stated. Ichigo leaned in, as did most of the people at the table.
"Alright then, what is it?" he asked. Grimmjow smirked.
"One of my buddies was at your little sis's game yesterday and they said they saw that runt Toshiro Hitsugaya checking her out." Ichigo looked back at the table the kid, Hitsugaya, usually sat at and saw him sitting at the end of the table, looking annoyed and bored as the busty woman next to him laughed and moved around. He could see that the woman's obnoxious movements were close to knocking Hitsugaya out of his seat. As far as Ichigo knew, Hitsugaya was just some smart kid that never took interest in anything.
"Are you sure?" he asked, turning back to Grimmjow. He nodded.
"Definitely. Said he didn't keep his eyes off her the entire time. I just thought you'd want to know in case he made a move on her or something." Ichigo might not have liked Grimmjow, but that guy could be good if he wanted to. Ichigo nodded.
"So what are you gonna do?" Renji asked. Ichigo sighed and shrugged.
"Nothing for now. I mean, I'm not gonna go beat up the kid or anything. If he tries anything, then we'll have a problem, but as far as I know my sister doesn't even know him," he answered truthfully. Renji shrugged and they lapsed into silence until Grimmjow and his some of his friends started a really perverted conversation that Ichigo chose to ignore. At the end of the day Ichigo walked outside, starting to walk home like he usually does, when suddenly a small body crashed into his.
The other person was sent to the ground and cried out in pain upon impact. The tall teen looked down at the person in surprise. The raven haired girl clutched her ankle in pain, and it only took Ichigo a moment to realize who it was.
"Kuchiki?"
See? I like cliffys :) Anyways, just tell me who you want and stuff and I'll try to fit them in, k? And I'll try to get these done faster :) See ya!
