Loving Humanoid (AU) Ch.7
"I'm ready for school!" said Ichigo dressed up in his school uniform that was given to him by Nemu.
Geez, why does Ichigo have to look sexy in uniform? thought Rukia as she blushed.
"All right. Just remember, when you get to school, go to the administrator's office and tell them your name. They'll take care of the rest," said Rukia eating her strawberry toaster strudel and averting her eyes from Ichigo.
"You're not going with me?" asked Ichigo with puppy dog eyes.
Gah! No! Must resist puppy dog eyes!
"No," she said with a stern and controlling voice. "And here's the other thing, Ichigo. We can't tell anyone that we're living together, and you can't call me your girlfriend."
"WHAT? Why? asked Ichigo shocked by the news.
"For starters, we already put a different address on your application and secondly PDA is embarrassing!" said Rukia blushing from yesterday's memories. After Ichigo had finished kissing her in the rain, she saw people stare at them and then she got really embarrassed.
"You mean I can't hug you or kiss you or hold your hand?" he said in a sad and defeated tone.
"Were you going to?" she asked annoyed.
Ichigo sighed.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go on ahead so that way we're not seen walking next to each other," he said giving her a small smile as he went out the door and closed it.
Aw man! Now I feel guilty that I scolded him, thought Rukia as she grabbed her school bag. But I can't have him walking with me, because then the girls would bombard me with questions.
Rukia walked to school alone and when she got to the front entrance, there was Orihime waving at her.
"Rukia! Rukia! Guess what!" said Orihime like a happy child who just got candy.
"What?" said Rukia.
"I think we have a new student at school!" she said in a jumpy voice.
"Really?" said Rukia trying to act surprised.
"Yeah! He really stuck out though, because he had orange spiky hair! But now that I think about it, he kinda looked like Shiba-kun," she said.
Rukia stopped dead in her tracks.
Crap! I forgot about Kaien! Okay Okay. Don't panic. Don't panic. Just play it calm and collected, she thought to herself as she started to walk again.
They got to the classroom and sat at their desks.
"Class, we have a new student today. May I introduce Kurosaki Ichigo," said the teacher in a happy go lucky tone. "He has just transferred in today because he's been home-schooled. So be nice. Kurosaki, you can sit at the desk in the back next to Kuchiki."
Ichigo smiled as he walked towards the desk. Rukia could hear people whispering to each other.
"Holy crap! That guy looks like Shiba Kaien!"
"Are they cousins? 'Cause their last names are different."
"What's with that spiky orange hair?"
"He probably bleaches it."
"Aside from that hair, he's kinda cute!"
"Home-schooled? Geez, that sucks."
"I wonder if he's looking for a girlfriend?"
Rukia got mad at that last comment. She was really tempted to kick the chair of that girl in front of her who said that, but she stopped when Ichigo sat at the desk next to her. He gave her a small smile and she blushed. The other girls in the class got jealous at the fact that the new guy was flirting with Rukia.
"Okay class, you can talk after math class is over," she said.
The class groaned.
"Hey you need to learn this stuff if you want to make it in life. So no complaining!" said the teacher who was annoyed with her groaning class.
Rukia hated math. It was one of her least favorite subjects along with science.
They're both related in some ways, which is why I suck at both of them! she would say to her big brother Byakuya when he would look at her report cards.
"Okay class, if a cylindrical case has a volume of 339 cubic inches and a diameter of six inches, what is the height of the cylindrical vase? And round it off!" said the teacher.
Rukia's math teacher was always known for giving a random equation or math question to the class and she expected a reply from her students fast. Of course it took awhile for people to solve it.
"Twelve cubic inches."
The class looked at the back of the classroom to see who had answered it in less than five seconds. It was Ichigo. The teacher looked at her black booklet she held in her hand that had the answers.
"Th-that's correct," she said in amazement.
It's because of that microchip in his brain, thought Rukia annoyed.
Other classes went by and soon it was time for lunch. Ichigo decided to stay in the classroom, so Rukia asked Orihime to eat lunch with her in the classroom as well. The main reason she stayed in there was because she wanted to keep an eye on Ichigo.
Then again, he looks and feels human. I don't think anyone would've guessed that he wasn't, she thought to herself.
"Rukia? Are you listening?" asked Orihime.
"Huh? Oh sorry Orihime," apologized Rukia. "I have a lot on my mind."
"Oh, no. Don't worry, I understand," said Orihime smiling mischievously.
"What?" said Rukia surprised at the fact that Orihime was actually giving a playful smile rather than her usual innocent and bubbly smiles.
"I saw that you were looking at Kurosaki-kun," said Orihime.
Rukia almost gagged at how Orihime called Ichigo, 'Kurosaki-kun' in her schoolgirl voice.
"Not you too, Orihime," whined Rukia.
"But when you're looking at him, it's almost like you're jealous that he's surrounded by girls," said Orihime.
"No! It's not like that! It's-"
"Kurosaki-kun! Rukia says that she's-"
Rukia quickly shoved some bread into her friend's mouth, so she wouldn't say anything else.
"Orihime!" whispered Rukia in mad tone.
"Fon't few fike fomfomby elf? (Don't you like somebody else?)" asked Orihime with a mouth full of bread.
Rukia ignored her friend and looked at Ichigo.
Why the hell did he have to become popular so fast? she thought to herself as she looked at Ichigo who was surrounded by girls.
"Kurosaki-sama! Why were you home-schooled?" asked one of the girls surrounding him.
Kurosaki-sama? thought Rukia getting more annoyed.
"Just family reasons," said Ichigo with a smile.
"Kurosaki-sama! If you were home-schooled, does that mean you had a private tutor or were your parents your teachers?" asked another girl.
"I had a private tutor. He was a great teacher, plus he taught me how to speak a couple of other languages than just Japanese," he said.
"Oh! Do you know Spanish?" asked another girl.
Aw crap! Does he? thought Rukia panicking.
"Me llamo Kurosaki Ichigo. Hablo Ingles, Español, Japonés, Francés, Chino, Holandés, Portugués, y muchos mas. ¿Quieres que hable otros lenguajes?" he said.
HE CAN?
"Yes! Yes! Speak in Finnish!"
"Speak Italian!"
"Speak German!"
All the girls were squealing over him and asking him to speak other languages that Rukia didn't even knew existed.
Why the hell is he-
Rukia looked at Ichigo's necklace that was sticking out of his uniform. The stone on it had turned gold.
Oh I get it. He's collecting data from the girls, thought Rukia eyeing the stone necklace.
I can't believe girls are getting all giddy and happy from a guy speaking languages that they don't even understand. What's so great about that?
"See Rukia! It looks like your getting mad," said Orihime interrupting Rukia's thoughts.
"It's nothing Orihime," said Rukia looking at her food.
Finally! P.E.
Today for P.E, the girls played soccer while the boys played basketball at the outside courtyard. This time Rukia was really looking at Ichigo because he and Kaien were on the same team. Next to each other.
It's a good thing I gave Ichigo orange hair and amber eyes. Otherwise, if I gave him the exact hair and eyes as Kaien, I'd be in trouble, thought Rukia.
"Have we met before?" asked Kaien.
"I don't think so," said Ichigo.
"Yeah. We're not related in any way but, everyone's been spreading some weird rumors that we're cousins because we look alike," said Kaien chuckling.
"Yeah. Even though we look alike, my orange hair really sets us apart," said Ichigo chuckling as well.
"Is it dyed?" asked Kaien touching Ichigo's hair.
"No it's natural."
"Wow."
"Okay guys, get into position," said the coach as he blew on his whistle.
The game went by with no problems as Rukia watched.
"It seems to be going fine. I don't think I need to worry about him," said Rukia quietly to herself.
But Rukia spoke too soon. As soon as the ball was passed to Ichigo, he threw it from far away, and it instantly landed in the was shocked and stared at the hoop and Ichigo, but soon they started to clap and cheer.
"Rukia! Did you see that? Huh? Did ya?" said Orihime waving her arms up and down like a bird. "That was so cool!"
"Y-yeah," said Rukia laughing nervously. SHIT! Now he's making an even bigger commotion!
"Okay class!" said the teacher closing the Japanese history textbook she held in her hand. "We're done for today, but we have about twenty-five minutes left before the bell rings for you guys to go home. So do whatever you want," said the teacher as she sat on her chair and grabbed a book for pleasure reading.
As soon as she sat down, everyone started to talk. Ichigo was in another class and Orihime said she was going to the other classroom to talk with Tatsuki and the others. Rukia said she would catch up to her later, because she was thirsty and she wanted to buy a drink.
The school had its vending machines outside of the buildings so Rukia went there to buy it.
"Let's see," she said to herself as she looked at the different juice options that were available. Rukia chose a bottle of strawberry lemonade as she put the coins into the machine and pushed the button. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around her and she yelped in surprise.
"Gotcha ya," said a familiar voice.
"Ichigo!" said Rukia surprised. "Don't do that!"
"Aww, but I wanted to surprise you," he said.
Rukia got out of his embrace to get her strawberry lemonade from the vending machine.
"So are you enjoying school?" she asked as she opened the bottle and drank from it as she avoided his gaze.
"It's great but," he said as he put his arms around her again from behind.
"I think the best thing about going to school is that I get to see you," he said as he started to nuzzle her neck.
Rukia blushed.
"Well I'm glad that you're not talking to me at school!" she said with a hmph.
Ichigo looked at his necklace.
"Sea foam green. Are you jealous?" asked Ichigo with a questioning face.
"What? No no no no no! It's not that! I'm just-"
"Rukia," he said as he turned her around to face him. "I don't care about other girls. You're the only one for me."
He smiled at her as he held her hand in his. Rukia blushed again.
"W-we should get back to class," she stuttered.
"Okay!" he said with his smile. "But before I go,"
Ichigo placed his lips on hers. This made Rukia blush even more that she was sure she was as red as a strawberry. But soon she closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck. Ichigo put his arms around her waist as he continued to kiss her. To Ichigo, Rukia tasted like the strawberry lemonade she was drinking earlier. It was so sweet that it made him hungrier for more, but he held back that urge because he knew that Rukia wouldn't want him to. To Rukia, Ichigo's lips were so warm that she wanted to hold onto that warmth just for a little while longer. Both of their mouths moved as if on instinct and Ichigo didn't need to look at the necklace to know what Rukia was feeling. Pleasure. But soon, their lips broke apart and Ichigo planted a small kiss on her cheek.
"When we get home, I'll give you all the attention you need," he said with a smile.
Rukia didn't say anything because she was still in a daze.
"I'll see you in a bit," he said giving her a kiss on the forehead before he left.
Rukia touched her lips. They still felt warm.
"! KUCHIKI RUKIA!"
Rukia jumped back in surprise. When she turned around, there were Mahana, Michiru, Ryo, Chizuru, Tatsuki, and Orihime.
"I knew it! I knew it! You are dating someone!" said Chizuru squealing in delight.
"When did you guys get here?" said Rukia in shock and seriously turning red.
"Our teachers decided to give us the last 25 minutes of school to ourselves as well," said Ryo. "The girls wanted to ask more about your boyfriend, but you weren't with Orihime, so they went looking for you and I was dragged along."
"Ryo, you wanted to go too," said Tatsuki.
"That was some hot kiss!" said Michiru excited. "I wonder what kind of sweet attention he's gonna give you!"
"YOU HEARD THAT?" said Rukia freaking out in embarrassment.
"So your boyfriend is the new transfer student!" said Mahana also excited by the news.
"Rukia, you're so lucky!" said Orihime. "Kurosaki-kun is so handsome! Like a tanuki!"
"Orihime, I don't think tanukis are handsome," said Tatsuki.
"So why didn't you tell anyone that Kurosaki is your boyfriend?" asked Ryo trying to sound uninterested.
"She probably didn't want anyone to know because she didn't want this to happen," said Tatsuki pointing at everyone.
Only Tatsuki understands! thought Rukia whining and embarrassed by all the questions the girls were asking.
"Guys, you can't tell anyone one about this is! Okay?" said Rukia still embarrassed.
"Why not?" asked Michiru.
"Yeah, if we don't then all the girls at school are gonna try to take him away from you," said Mahana.
"Yeah, well if you do tell them, then I'll be killed," said Rukia trying to calm down by drinking the rest of her strawberry lemonade.
"Oh come on! You're overreacting!" said Mahana
"I don't think she is. A lot of those girls act like wild animals when someone has something they want," said Tatsuki. "Then again, I'd just beat them up."
"Same here," said Ryo.
"Rukia, if I were you I'd just claim him before things got out of hand! Or better yet, if I were in that situation with my sweet Hime-chan, I'd mark her to show the world that she's-"
Chizuru was interrupted when she was kicked in the gut by Tatsuki's foot.
"Just give it a rest Chizuru!" said Tatsuki pissed off.
Orihime didn't seem to hear what Chizuru had said.
"Guys, please don't tell anyone!" said Rukia practically begging.
Chizuru chocked in reply as she tried to get up, "Okay we won't. But eventually we'll have to."
"Why?"
"Because once someone catches you two, they're gonna tell. And that's no fun because we want to be the ones to say it."
"What? Why are you guys so cruel?" said Rukia.
The bell rang to Rukia's relief.
"'Kay guys! Bye!" said Rukia as she ran away from the girls.
Nosey people! thought Rukia. Am I gonna be able to keep my secret?
Nothing much to say, but I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
