I'm not wonder woman… I can't update as fast as people hope I can. On to another topic:
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH TITE KUBO YOU WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL SOUL. HE HAS BROUGHT MY WONDERFUL BABY BACK AND SHE'S ROCKING A NEW HAIR DO AND A LIEUTENANT BADGE. This chapter was THE CHAPTER of this whole arc! I mean, even without Rukia, I was still enjoying the Fullbring Arc, BUT THIS CHAPTER. THIS CHAPTER DESERVES ALL THE AWARDS. Rukia looks so adorable now x3 I never actually trusted Ginjo, so when Ichigo came with all his BAMF glory at the end with HIS SHINIGAMI ATTIRE and a new and improved Zangetsu, (though it might be Engetsu) Ginjo and Tsukishima had a total, "OH SHIT" face on them. Finally, they're gonna get they're asses kicked! But another thing which not many people seem to think about of this chapter is the part where Ichigo broke down crying. Okay, that really shocked me. Ichigo NEVER CRIES. In the history of the entire manga, he's never cried! So this shows you how he really felt about being powerless for a whole seventeen months. I don't know, that part really made me feel like crying, mainly because I've never seen Ichigo break down like that before. I mean, come on, I can't have been the only person shocked by that? Oh! And when Isshin and Urahara came in and Ichigo though they stabbed him, he was like, "Dad? You too?" AND THE TEARS IN HIS EYES OH MY GOSH THAT WAS JUST- GOSH. I mean, I don't blame him, I would've cried too if I thought my father betrayed me. Seriously, his face though. Did anyone else realize that when Rukia appeared, the rain stopped :B I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE KUBO.
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

H E L L O .
I sat at the dining table, quietly eating my breakfast as I listened to the birds chirp outside. It was early in the morning, and it turned out that I was the first to wake up for school. The previous nights events were still playing in my mind. There was a loud clanking noise, and I looked up to find Tōshirō sitting across from me, his eyebrows drawn together.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Hn."
"Well that's nice," I rolled my eyes, glaring at him.
He paused before sitting back and folding his arms, "Why didn't you tell me that a man tried to molest you yesterday?"
I led out a groan, "Not you too! Look, it's not a big deal! I took care of him, alright? Stop worrying about me!"
"Fine, but just so you know, me and your brother paid him a little visit."
"Oh dear God, please tell me he's still in one piece."
Tōshirō shrugged his shoulders before proceeding to the kitchen. It wasn't soon after before Byakuya and Renji arrived, both greeting me before questioning me about last night's events. After my constant insisting of being fine, they ate their breakfast. A loud moan came from the doorway; we looked up to find Ichigo standing there with sunglasses on.
"I don't wanna go to school."
"Fine then, grow up and become a beggar."
He closed his ears, "Why are you screaming?"
I glanced at Renji; Ichigo was recovering from a hangover. A large grin plastered our faces as Renji walked into the kitchen and emerged with two pots and spoons. I had to hold my laughter as I took the utensils from his hand. After a few moments, we began banging the pots, leading Ichigo to fall to the ground screaming.
"BARNEY IS A DINOSAUR WITH A WILD IMAGINATION-"
"SHUT UP! OH MY GOD MY EARS ARE BLEEDING!"
I cackled as Ichigo ran towards us and grabbed the pots from our hands, leading Renji to knock the sunglasses off of Ichigo's face.
"Rise and shineee, Edward Cullen! It's another sparkling day!"
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU RENJI!"
I stuck my foot out, leading Ichigo to collapse onto the ground, "If you keep yelling, it's only going to make things worse." I smiled sweetly as Ichigo glowered at me, reaching out to take his sunglasses.
"You all suck, you know that?"
"What happened to him?" Tōshirō asked, an eyebrow raised.
"He accidentally drank some of Byakuya's sake last night. He thought it was water."
"Ah…"
Byakuya, who had been calmly sitting at the table drinking his morning coffee the whole time we were yelling, closed his eyes and said briskly, "You three should honestly start acting your age. You better get going, school starts in ten minutes."
"What? Damn! You know Byakuya; you're a pretty lucky guy! You don't have to worry about school and all that crap." complained Ichigo, taking his bag from one of the maids.
At these words, Byakuya's eyebrows came to meet, "May I remind you who I am and what I do for a living?"
"Oh, sorry, forgot."
"Bye, Byakuya! We'll see you after school!" I called as the four of us ran out of the door and into the limo.
"Mr. Kurosaki?"
I face-palmed as Ichigo sat next to me, his snores now echoing the entire classroom. Our teacher stood at the front, her arms folded as she lightly tapped her foot.
"Mr. Kurosaki?"
I bit my lip, wanting to distance myself far away from the teen whose sunglasses were slowly slipping off his nose. I turned as I felt a light tap on my shoulder, only to see Orihime staring at Ichigo's sleeping form. "Rukia, is Kurosaki alright?" I rolled my eyes, "Don't look at him, people will think we're friends with him."
"ICHIGO KUROSAKI! HOW DARE YOU SLEEP IN MY CLASS!"
I closed my eyes as a book flew from the teacher's hands and onto Ichigo's head. The man led out a scream as he jerked up, adjusting his sunglasses.
"What?"
"You were sleeping, you juvenile delinquent! What's with the sunglasses? You're not a vampire are you?"
"Of course not, maybe I just like wearing them."
"That's a lie, Kurosaki!"
"How do you know that?"
I groaned as I slumped into my chair, running a hand through my hair.
"Kurosaki, are you recovering from a hangover?"
"Wha- NO! I'm not! I'm perfectly fine!" he flinched, "Why's everything so loud?"
"YOU WERE DRIN-"
"No, he didn't mean to," I kindly interrupted, trying my best to control myself from killing the man next to me, "he mistook a bottle of sake for water last night and drank it, I was there." The teacher stared at me pointedly, "Kurosaki lives with you?"
"Of course he does, you don't know?"
"Well… I think it's rather strange for two teens to be living together, and it's quite strange that you have alcohol in your home. That's illegal, by the way… and I didn't know you two were together." My teacher mused, biting her lip. At the realization of her words, I sprang up, my face was red.
"We aren't dating! And he's living with me, my brother, Renji Abarai and Tōshirō Hitsugaya! The sake belonged to my brother and I do NOT drink! Don't you know all of that? I would've thought that the teachers would know this!"
"Holy crap," muttered Ichigo, closing his ears, "stop screaming, you're making everything worse."
A sly smile spread across our teacher's face as she turned to the white board, "Well I do. I was just testing for your reaction. I've never seen someone get so defensive over me teasing them before, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you have a little crush on Kurosaki over there." If I was red before, I was even redder now.
"N-no… I already have a boyfriend…"
I slumped deep into my chair as the laughter and wolf whistles from my classmates echoed through the room. Ichigo however, was not aware of my embarrassment for he was soundly snoring next to me.
"Alright, I'll let him off for now, but you have to ask your brother to send me a note confirming this. I don't trust you kids."
"Are you sure it's not because you want a hand written note from the Byakuya Kuchiki?" Grimmjow yelled, causing a great wave of agreement throughout the class.
Our teacher gritted her teeth, "Turn to page forty-five."
I sighed as Ichigo stumbled beside me, his glasses continuously slipping off his nose.
"I feel so sleepy."
"You're such an idiot."
Tatsuki rolled her eyes, "I haven't seen him like this in a while. He used to visit my house walking like this after he got into fights with punks about his hair. My mum would always get a heart attack when she saw all the blood on him."
"Your mum was like my second mother," Ichigo grunted, "My mum never got angry when I came home like that, hers would throw a fit."
"What makes you think your mum wasn't angry? She was worried sick!"
"Ears, Tatsuki. Still recovering from a hangover here."
"How much did he drink anyways?" asked Tōshirō, a brow raised in curiosity.
"A whole bottle," Renji snickered, "I can't believe you kept drinking the thing when you knew it tasted funny."
"Well… I didn't actually care at the time… I was pretty thirsty."
"Bull, I bet he was too stupid to notice anything."
"If it didn't hurt yelling, I'd be screaming at you right now, pineapple."
"You know Ichigo," Momo laughed, "You kind of look really weird with those sunglasses. You're a strawberry with sunglasses!" she began to laugh while Ichigo glared at her.
"I'll get you for that, peachy."
Tatsuki raised an eyebrow, "What? What's with the nicknames?"
Momo chuckled, "It's a stupid thing between me and Ichigo. He calls me peachy while I call him strawberry… you know, since both of our names meanings are fruits."
"The peach and the strawberry," said Ichigo, raising his hand into the air and making a peace sign, "are unstoppable."
The others laughed while Tōshirō bitterly folded his arms. I chuckled; he acted like such a jealous child sometimes.
"Hey, what's going on over there?"
I looked up at Tatsuki's words to find Orihime standing in between Ishida and Ulquiorra with a rather nervous look on her face. The two other men were glaring daggers at the other.
"Let me guess, they're both fighting over Orihime again?" asked Renji, raising an eyebrow.
I shrugged my shoulders as we made our way towards them.
"Look Cifer, I don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but if you come near Orihime again, I'll kill you."
"Calm yourself Ishida; I did not do anything to the woman. We were merely talking."
"Her name is Orihime! Look, I know who you are and what you do, so what I'm trying to say here is that if you drag Orihime into your problems one more time, I'll make sure you'll pay."
"That will never happen again, people learn from their mistakes. I won't drag her into anything anymore, but stop being so over protective of Inoue; you're not giving her any space to breathe."
"Ishida, Ulquiorra! Would you two sto-"
"Well I have the right to be! Her brother placed me in charge of her well-being before he died, so I think it's my position to do so."
"It's getting annoying though, maybe that's one of the many reasons why your father hates you."
"Uryū!" screamed Orihime, standing in between the two before holding Ishida back, "Stop it! He didn't mean anything by th- "
"Orihime get out of the way! He's been asking for this all week!"
"Are you going to punch me, Ishida? I doubt you can, seeing as you're too weak. Oh look, another reason why you're father hates you."
"Is that the best you got Cifer? I would've expected something better! What? Something wrong? Did you and Jaegerjaquez have a lovers' quarrel?"
As Ulquiorra brought his fist up, both Ichigo and Grimmjow, who had appeared from behind Ulqiourra, had pulled the two away from each other; Ichigo pushed Ishida to the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm trying to teach that punk to stay away from Orihime!"
"Well you're acting like an idiot, stop it!"
"That's right Ichigo, tell that stupid friend of yours to lay off Ulquiorra!" Grimmjow yelled, turning towards the two male teens.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow before turning to Ishida, "He's right. Ishida, apologize to Grimmjow's husband."
"WHAT WAS THAT, KUROSAKI?" roared Grimmjow, his teeth gritted together.
"I'm merely stating the obvious you stupid animal."
"You're asking for a fight, strawberry." The teal haired man growled, taking an intimidating step towards Ichigo until they were inches apart. The other man however, did not flinch. In fact, he returned the glare he was receiving rather skillfully.
"Well, I can't help it if it looks like you two have it for each other. It's pretty hard not to notice the signs. I mean, I'm sure that during lunch you two sneak off into the janitor's close-"
Loud gasps echoed throughout the hallways as Grimmjow's fist collided with Ichigo's jaw. The said man fell to the ground; his sunglasses fell to the ground. He smirked as he wiped the blood trickling from his mouth.
"Seems like you still hit like a girl, Jaegerjaquez."
"Seems like you still fall like one, Kurosaki."
"Shouldn't we help them?" came the whisper of Momo, who stood with a rather worrying look on her face.
Me and Tatsuki rolled our eyes, "Nope. A teacher will probably stop this soon."
We watched as Ichigo sprang to his feet before charging at the man in front of him. He swiftly gave a kick to Grimmjow's feet, causing him to fall hard onto the ground.
"Well truthfully, I think I fall a damn lot more graceful than you."
"He sure recovered from his hangover fast." Tōshirō deadpanned as he watched Grimmjow launch himself onto Ichigo while Ishida and Ulquiorra, who now had no one holding them back, charged at each other as well.
"Ichigo's not human, so it's not really surprising."
"What's going on here?" bellowed our principal as he came thundering down the hallways. "Break it up you buffoons! Ahah! Kurosaki and Jaegerjaquez! This is not surprising at all! THIRD TIME THIS MONTH FOR JAEGERJAQUEZ AND THE SIXTH FOR KUROSAKI! And it's only his fifth month here! CONGRATULATIONS! YOU JUST WON YOURSELF ANOTHER TICKET TO MY OFFICE!" he pulled them both by the collar and pushed them towards the direction of his office.
"WELL HURRY UP; STOP WALKING LIKE YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING UP YOUR ASS!"
He turned to face Ishida and Ulquiorra, and by seeing them, his eyes widened slightly, "Ishida? Don't tell me you were fighting too? That's shocking…. You're the brightest student in your year. Ulquiorra as well, you have a squeaky clean record. Well, I'm afraid you'll have to join the two wanna-be gangsters in my office."
"Yes, sir."
"I'm sorry, sir."
"To my office," he sighed, pointing towards the direction where Ichigo and Grimmjow had gone. I watched as the two silently walked away, leaving a worried looking Orihime standing against the lockers. I studied her expression, and by the looks of it, amongst the four, she was worried about Ichigo the most.
"Rukia! Could you get the door, please?"
"Get it yourself you lazy ass."
"But that annoying sound's bugging the hell outta me!"
I glared at the orange haired man who was now sprawled across the floor, "Then go get it!"
"No! Honestly though, who the hell would ring the doorbell like that? You would've thought it was a drunka-"
"HEELLOOO, LOVE BIRDS!" screamed a voice.
"Oh, I was close."
Rangiku stormed her way into the room, "Your maid let us in, I hope you don't mind."
"Us? Wha-"
I stopped however, as a tall male entered the room, his silver hair and fox-like features were an immediate eye catcher.
"Ah, Rukia, it's nice to see you again!" he smiled, giving me a slight wave.
Ichigo eyed Gin Ichimaru with curiosity, and as soon as they're eyes came to meet, Ichimaru gave a smile.
"Ah, you must be Ichigo Kurosaki." He smiled, stretching out his hand.
Ichigo stared at it and shook it, "Yeah, who are you?"
"It's Gin! My boyfriend!" smiled Rangiku, who gave a slight pause.
"Well actually," she stuck out her hand, showing of a dazzling ring on her index finger, "he's my fiancé!"
I immediately jumped up, staring at the couple in front of me, "What? You're getting… getting…"
"Married! Yes!
I threw my arms around my manager and laughed, "Are you serious? When? HOW?"
Ichigo shook Ichimaru's hand and squinted, "Um… that's nice…" he said slowly as he examined the man in front of him.
"You have a very interesting hair colour, Ichigo."
"You have really weird eyes, but thanks, Gin."
"So how did he propose?" I asked.
"Well, about an hour ago. In the airport, in front of everybody! We're still planning, but we needed to spread the news!" she chirped.
I raised an eyebrow, "Who… who have you told?"
"Shūhei, of course!"
I cracked a smile, "Really? What did he say?"
"Well he was the first person I called… when I told him he said his congrats and he hung up. Weird, eh? Must be sick or something." I laughed, "Yeah probably! Hisagi's always like that when he's sick!"
'Damn it Rangiku, you shouldn't have told him…'
I made a mental note to comfort him later. "Well, this is fantastic! The others are out now, but I'm sure they'll be ecstatic to know this!" I lied, knowing full well that everyone in my family despised Ichimaru with a burning passion.
"Thanks, we'd love to stay and chat, but we have the others to tell!" she smiled as she waved goodbye.
"It was great to meet you, Ichigo. Rukia, I'll see you soon, send your brother my best regards!" he gave his eerie smile and followed Rangiku out of the door.
I fell onto the coach and sighed, "I hate that guy."
"What, what's wrong? He seemed okay. Creepy, but okay."
"Well that's because you just met him! The more you get to know him, the creepier the guy gets. I hate this. I can't tell Rangiku, they're both madly in love with each other!"
"Then don't. Would you rather see her be happy even though you hate it, or would you rather see her sad for your own personal preference?"
I sighed, "I guess you're right. I have to call Hisagi though, he's probably going to take this the hardest." There was a comfortable silence as Ichigo continued to stand in front of me. It took a few moments before the words came rushing out of his mouth.
"Wannagoout?"
I paused before staring at him.
"… What?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "There's nothing else to do, and the others won't be back until tonight. I'm not going to let you sit on your ass for the whole day, we might as well go out or something."
I smirked, "Like a date? You do know that I'm taken, Kurosaki?"
He blushed, "Well, no… more like a friendly date? Between friends. Nothing special, you know it's just two friends who-" he began to blabber, making weird hand gestures while glancing around the room.
I gave a small chuckle and got off the sofa, "Well alright then."
"What?"
I shook my head and smirked.
"We're going, you better pay for dinner. It's a man's priority."
