Hey it's been a while since my last update and I just want to think everyone for the reviews and being patient with me. Anyways here it is and please update soon.
Rukia walked down the stairs the next morning. She was headed for the book store in order to keep her deal with Josie. When she walked by the kitchen she saw Byakuya and Hisana both sitting at the kitchen table, both drinking cups of black coffee. The raven haired teen knew this meant they had something to tell her.
"What's wrong?" Rukia asked, her voice emotionless.
"Sit down," Hisana said. Rukia was able to get a good look at Hisana's face and saw that even though her face was grim her eyes looked as joyful as ever. The younger girl looked at Byakuya and saw his face was the same as Hisana's but unlike his wife his eyes held any emotion but joy. It was a mixture of guilt, anger, but most of all sadness.
"What's wrong?" Rukia repeated.
"I'm pregnant!" Hisana squealed and her face broke into a huge smile.
"What? That's great!" Rukia yelled before jumping up to hug her sister.
"There's more," Byakuya broke in sharply. Hisana glared at her husband but Rukia simply remembered. She remembered that she wasn't supposed to know Hisana had cancer and now she was pregnant.
"What else is there?" Rukia asked trying to sound like a ditzy school girl. Hisana gestured for Rukia to take a seat.
"Byakuya and I have been keeping a secret from you for the past couple of months," Hisana said before pausing and taking a deep breath. "Rukia, I have breast cancer."
Rukia pretended to be shocked. She knew she was supposed to be.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Rukia asked deciding to get the question that had been plaguing her mind for weeks out in the open. She didn't bother to try and hide the tears in her eyes.
"We knew you would be upset and we didn't want you to worry. It's only in stage two. So it isn't that hard to treat," Hisana said simply.
"Also we have a much more pressing matter," Byakuya interrupted getting a feeling this was about to be a very drama filled cry your eyes out moment.
"What's that?" the teen asked while wiping tears from her eyes.
"Where you're going to stay," was the answer. Rukia raised her eyes in confusion.
"We have to go to the United States so that I'll be able to treat my cancer and have the baby safely. Byakuya and I speak English very well but you only know the insults," Hisana said simply.
"Do you have any friends you can stay with?" Byakuya asked before adding "Preferably girls."
"I think so, but I need to go to work," Rukia said.
"Actually that won't be happening," Hisana said simply and Rukia once again had raise her eyebrows to voice her confusion. "I called Josie earlier this morning to tell her you wouldn't be coming to work this morning and she told me that she was moving back to the U.S. to raise her two younger sisters because her parents just died."
"Oh. That's sad."
"Yep so go start calling people."
After that Rukia went upstairs to call her friends. She decided she would call Orihime first. After all Orihime didn't live with anybody else and she was sure she could find someway to help Orihime with the rent.
"Hello," Orihime answered.
"Hey, I have a favor to ask you. By the way its Rukia," Rukia asked getting straight to the point.
"Oh. Yeah go ahead," Orihime said.
"Do you think I could stay with you for a couple of months?"
"Rukia you know you're one of my best friends right?" Orihime answered hesitantly.
"I can't stay with you huh?" Rukia asked.
"I'm sorry but I'm staying with Tatsuki right now. I'm sure she would say yes but her dad said she can't have any more guest that stay for more than just the weekend," Orihime answered. The taller girl sounded guilty so Rukia knew she couldn't hold it against her.
"Don't worry I'll just call Sango," Rukia said and after they exchanged their good byes Rukia did as she said she would.
"Hello my dear fairy of the forest," Sango greeted.
"What are you smoking?" Rukia asked sarcastically with a huge smile covering her face.
"Leaves from the forest that a fairy peed on," Sango answered cheerfully before she and Rukia both broke out laughing.
"That's funny. Anyways can I maybe stay with you a couple of months?" Rukia asked. She knew Sango was a very straightforward person and expected others to be that way with her as well.
"Sorry. My cousins are staying here with us for a year or so. We have a full house plus a baby that screams and poops all the time," Sango answered.
"Oh okay. Thanks for being honest," Rukia said before hearing a baby crying in the background.
"Tell that thing to shut the fuck up!" Sango yelled.
"When I have kids remind me to never let you baby sit," Rukia said.
"Hey!" Sango answered sounding offended. "I like kids. I just hate babies. I plan on adopting."
"Yeah whatever," Rukia said and the two girls said good bye. After that Rukia decided to call the most responsible of her four guy friends. Chad was out of the question since she just couldn't picture sitting down and eating dinner with him. There would be no conversation or anything. She would go crazy. That put Uryuu in first place.
"Hello, Uryuu Ishida speaking," the young man answered.
"You sound like an old guy when you do that," Rukia answered.
"I don't really care," Uryuu answered. "Now what do you want Rukia. I swear if Ichigo decided to have a surprise band practice I will chop his balls off and shove them down his throat and then cut his stomach open and-"
"Okay I get the point you'll kill him. Anyways do you think I could stay with you for a few months?"
"Nope. My dad's to strict plus I'm dating Orihime. She's a sweet girl but she may get the wrong idea."
"Oh yeah. I didn't think about that. Well bye," Rukia said and hung up. After that she called Renji.
"'Sup chicken butt," Renji answered.
"Hey I have a favor to ask you?" Rukia stated ignoring his greeting.
"Okay shoot," Renji answered.
"Could I stay with you for a couple of months?"
"Um sorry but no. My girlfriend may get jealous," Renji answered sounding like he was doing a fist pump and high-fiving himself in the mirror.
"What? Who's your girlfriend?" Rukia asked sounding shocked.
"Tatsuki, I asked her out after the part last night," Renji yelled before there was a sound of shattering glass. "Oh shit. Dad's gonna kill me. Talk to you later."
"Bye," Rukia said and hung up but not before hearing his dad yell "Renji Abarai what the hell did you just break?"
"Crap. This means I have to call Ichigo," Rukia muttered to herself. Before dialing the number.
"You got three seconds to talk. If you snooze you loose, then I'm gonna go out and drink some booze with the dudes," Ichigo greeted.
"You just used me three seconds," Rukia replied before adding, "You guys have some weird greetings."
"Whatever just tell me what you want?" Ichigo said sounding slightly nervous. "Never mind. Talk to my dad. I gotta go."
"Um hello. Is this Mr. Kurosaki?" Rukia asked hesitantly.
"Yes but if you're one of Ichigo's friends please call me Isshin," Isshin said simply.
"Yes sir," Rukia answered using her rehearsed I'm-innocent-so-don't-mess-with-me voice.
"So what can I do for you?"
"Well I was wondering if I could stay with your family for a couple of months."
"Of course you would be my third daughter. Yes, yes. This is great please let me speak with your parents," the man yelled excitedly.
Rukia quickly ran downstairs.
"Whoa. Where's the fire?" Hisana asked while drying a plate.
"Just take the phone," Rukia said before running out of the room. She felt Hisana's stare as she left the room. For some reason Rukia didn't want to be in the room long enough to hear what was said. Instead she headed to the living room and snatched the remote right out of Byakuya's hand.
"You know this is Saturday right?" Byakuya asked while glaring at her.
"You know there's a T.V. in your room right?" Rukia countered. Byakuya just rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to as Rukia switched to Popeye. (A/N: Yes I know Popeye is an American show but lets pretend the have Japanese dub.)
"Why are we watching such a childish show?" Byakuya asked.
"Because I'm a child," Rukia answered.
"You're a teenager," Byakuya corrected.
"But a child at heart," after saying that they both nodded in agreement and continued with the show. After fifteen minutes Hisana walked into the room.
"Well Rukia, you're staying with Ichigo and his family," Hisana said. She had already guessed both of their reactions.
"What the hell?" they both yelled.
"I thought I said no boys!" Byakuya said.
"No you said 'Preferably girls,'" Rukia said mimicking him. "And I thought that idiot would say no."
"Well obviously not. Now go pack your bags with enough cloths for two weeks. Mr. Kurosaki has two daughters so he probably has everything else," Hisana said after giggling.
"What why so soon?" Rukia asked.
"Byakuya and I leave on Monday morning so you're moving in today so that you can get settled in this weekend," Hisana answered.
I didn't want it to end there but I was getting a headache and couldn't concentrate but I really wanted it updated before midnight in my time so here it is. Please tell me what you think!
