READ AND REVIEW
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach!
"What are you saying, Hitsugaya-senpai?" Rukia asked in true puzzlement at the white head that smiled at her. It actually surprised her, because Toushiro had never smiled at Rukia. He had always made a face, showing that he hated her.
"I'm saying that I'll help you get with Kurosaki." Toushiro said, a little angry that she couldn't understand him.
"But what did you mean about the 'not a unrequited love' part?" Rukia asked eagerly to Toushiro, who instantly turned away from her. 'This idiot... she doesn't know that Kurosaki likes her....'
"Nothing, I was thinking of this drama show that I watched yesterday." Toushiro said quickly.
"H-Hitsugaya-senpai.... are you sure that you don't swing that way...?" Rukia asked with genuine belief, "You watch romance drama....."
"No! I already told you that I don't swing that way!!"
"Okay...." Rukia said, her voice was thick with sarcasm.
'Great! Now Kuchiki thinks that I'm homosexual!' (I have nothing, I repeat, NOTHING against them!!!)*
"Kuchiki-san!!" Orihime yelled in delight. She was going to tell Rukia about this thing that was nagging her. She had a growing guilt when she didn't tell Rukia about her confession. "Can we meet by the tree again at lunch time?"
Rukia was lazy in her desk, and looked like she was avoiding eyes contact with Ichigo. Then Rukia was surprised at Orihime, as she called out to her. It had been about two days since she saw Orihime and she had never thought about her. She hadn't even been pondering about her confession to Ichigo. "Oh, hi Inoue! What did you say... I didn't pay attention.... sorry."
"It's okay, Kuchiki-san! Can we meet at lunch at that tree?"
"Oh... okay... why?" Rukia asked Orihime.
"It's something I have to tell you!" Orihime said in a sing-song voice.
Then suddenly everybody sat in their seats when they heard the homeroom teacher coming in. She slammed the door open and looked grumpily at them. This was usually a rare sight, as she was more easy-going.
"Hello class..." Ochi sensei said in a monotoned voice. "How are you all....."
"....."
"ANSWER ME!!" Ochi sensei screamed to the class, and slammed her hands on the podium. Then suddenly, the sensei gained back her composure and started fixing her glasses, "Sorry class... I didn't have my coffee yet......"
Everyone sweat dropped.
Rukia's eyes then traveled away from the teacher who was now regularly calling out the attendance. She wondered towards the back of Ichigo's head, who was turned opposite of her direction. He stared out at the window with his right arm to lean against. He showed no sign that he was being watched. They had not talked to each other for the whole day and Rukia could tell that Ichigo was also trying to avoid her eye contact. After what had happened to them at the camp, they could not talk normally.
Ichigo had almost kissed Rukia!
Rukia blushed as she recalled the moment. In that entire moment, she had actually expected a kiss, but she didn't know that Ichigo was just teasing her. This made her feel a painful feeling. She didn't want him to just do that to her. She had actually expected more, but she was to ashamed and embarassed to actually admit it.
But know, Rukia knew that she was actually in love with this orange head. He was just so kind to her, he was always there for her in painful moments. He changed her life the moment that they met. She trusted him. She loved it when he smiled that she actually felt a flutter in her heart.
Rukia shook her head at the romantic thoughts in her mind about Ichigo. She then pondered her gaze at the teacher again.
"Class, as you know... or might know... our track and field team will be competing against Sakurano's track and field team, so go there this Friday and root for them! Oh! Also visit Shuhei, he just healed from his sprained ankle!!" Ochi sensei said, reversing back into her usual attitude. The class immediately looked surprise at Shuhei's recovery. All the girls were chit chatting about visiting him, with their red faces on. All the boys just wanted to hang out with their idol senpai. They were all excited about this.
But the only person that sat their, trouble, was Rukia. She had almost forgotten about Senna. That girl had tried to tell off Rukia, and her words still haunted her.
Forfeit in 2 weeks...
Rukia shuddered, then put down her head. This was the last week that Rukia had to decide if she wanted to forfeit or not. But... she didn't want to. She didn't want to let down her team mates, and her will didn't want to. Rukia then ganced back at Ichigo, then immediately jumped, when she saw him glancing at her. His eyes had worry for her of Senna.
"Are you going to be okay?"
'Acting as if nothing happened...'
"Y-Yeah..."
"Rukia... whatever happens.. stand up to Senna.." Ichigo said with reassurance of what he was telling Rukia.
Rukia actually liked Ichigo being himself towards her. It made her feel at ease, and not awkwad to talk to him. She gave Ichigo a small smile and nodded her head. She wanted to show Ichigo that she was fine. But the truth was, was that she was still troubled.
Lunch...
Ichigo, Chad, and Ishida sat on the school roof. Ichigo ate a loaf of bread with some cream filling inside. Ishida ate a bento, and Chad was just looking at them.
"Chad..... how come you....." Ichigo munched his bread, ".... never eat?"
".... I'm on a diet." Chad said simply with his deep dark voice.
"Why?" This time Ishida joined in.
"......" Chad was thinking for a while, ".... someone said that I was as big as a sumo wrestler...."
"Ch-Chad, don't worry about what people say about you!" Ichigo said. Then suddenly everyone jumped from where they sat when the door of the building that jutted out of the roof opened. Standing next to the entrance, was Toushiro.
"T-Toushiro!?" Ichigo said in surprise of the young teen.
"Hitsugaya-senpai!" Toushiro said angrily. Then he changed the subject, "Kurosaki, I need to talk to you!"
"Sorry, I don't like to talk to Oji-sans..." Ichigo said, then turned to his food immediately. But then he turned back when he heard something surprising Toushiro had said.
"It's about Kuchiki!" Toushiro shouted, and he got the reaction he wanted. The look of surprise and interest in the matter on Ichigo's face. Toushiro then smirked at his own slyness. He motioned his right hand to show that Ichigo should follow him, "Come, Kurosaki. Let's...." Toushiro looked at the two of Ichigo's friends that were accompanying him, "Go somewhere with only the two of us..."
Ichigo first hesitated, then he hardened his stare and quickly ate his food, "This better not be some kind of joke!"
------
They were alone in a hallway. This hallway was part of the senior's floor. It was a little dark, because this part of the building was facing away from where the sun was.
On each ends, Ichigo and Toushiro stared at each other for a while. Ichigo glared at the senior to see if he was going to do anything strange to him. While Toushiro gave a bored look, but was actually choosing carefully to what he was to say. When Toushiro's mouth slightly opened he took in a breathe and started to speak.
"Kurosaki, do you like Kuchiki?" Toushiro finally said.
"Look here...." Ichigo said awkwardly towards Toushiro, "... nobody says that so straight-forwardly..."
'Hmmm... he's not denying, huh?'
"So does this mean that you like Kuchiki?" Toushiro asked bluntly. His face was expressionless.
"...." Ichigo stared hard at the ground, making a frown. He paused there with his mouth open, before he said the words that Toushiro had wanted to hear, "Yeah... I love Rukia...."
'Love, huh?'
"Well Kurosaki, this is all I need.." Toushiro said, before walked past Ichigo who was now in his own universe.
'Love.... But it's unrequited....' Ichigo thought sorrowfully.
(Rukia and Orihime)
"Kuchiki-san... don't you like the cool air here.... summer's almost over..." Orihime said, with stretched arms to the wind. Her orange hair blew in the calm air and she breathed it in.
"Yes... what do you want to talk about, Inoue?"
"You... know.. on the day of the festival... I was rejected." Orihime said with calmness, and she put her arms at her back, squeezing them. She turned around to see Rukia's expression. As Orihime expected, they were shocked eyes that she saw in Rukia. "But... I'm okay now..."
"... Inoue, I'm so sorry..." Rukia apologized, she looked down at the grassy ground.
"Kuchiki-san!" There was so much force in Orihime's voice and she glared at Rukia. It had taken Rukia by surprise. "What are you sorry for?! I'm the one who should be sorry! I was the selfish one! You gave up Kurosaki-kun just for me! But in reality you really do like him!" the anger of herself came out like a rolling snowball. Then Orihime gasped and covered her mouth. She hadn't meant to say that much to Rukia.
"I-Inoue..." Rukia said in shock. Had Orihime known all along. "H-How do you know about that...?"
"I knew all along! To Kurosaki-kun, I'm nothing but a friend, but when you guys are together... I always have this horrible feeling in my chest! I hate it how you guys always look at each other! I HATE IT!!!" Orihime shrieked. She didn't want to be like this in front of Rukia.. but she couldn't stop. And she had to do this! The anger, and jealous for one of her precious friend was tumbling out of her mind. In reality, the real thing was, that she envied Rukia.
Orihime hated this feeling. She never wanted to feel this way again. She didn't want to trouble Rukia and not be friends anymore, but... Orihime's tears came out and she covered her eyes to not show her tears. She was hiccuping from the lack of air. She then slid to the soft ground and said what she knew would happen. "Kuchiki-san... if I keep feeling like this... we can't be friends! I don't want you to have Kurosaki-kun! To tell you the truth.... I REALLY HATE IT!!"
"Inoue! It's okay! I won't like him, we can still be-"
"SHUT UP!! I don't want to be your friend! I can't, no matter what! I'm still in love with Kurosaki-kun! If I see you more and more, I'll start hating you! My jealousy will build up!"
Rukia tried to touch Orihime's arm but she yanked her arm away from Rukia. "Inoue... why are you doing this...?" Rukia said with immense hurt in her face.
"Because, I hate you." Orihime said coldly.
Rukia's eyes widened at Orihime. Never did Rukia imagine that Orihime had actually hated her all along. Rukia looked away from Orihime's icy glare. Rukia wanted to get out of here, she wanted to get as far away from Orihime. She didn't want to be hated. She didn't want to lose a friend, she didn't want to lose Orihime.
Rukia could feel the tears sliding slowly down her cheeks and her mouth started to quiver. She didn't want to show this unsightly self of her to anyone, no one but him. And the only thing that Rukia could do was to run away from Orihime, she ran back into the school building. Her legs carried her to the restroom and she locked herself in one of the stalls. She panted from running.
"What's going on!?" Rukia said with her voice quivering. She put her hands on her head and started shaking.
"What's happening?! Why is this happening to me?!"
Then she heard the door of the restroom swing open and heard foot steps. The people who came in were snickering and had a low deep voice...
Kuchiki Rukia... was stuck in the men's restroom.
"AHHHHHH!"
------
"Orihime....?" Tatsuki came outside to see a figure that was on the ground sobbing. "What happened?"
"I did it..."
"You did what...?"
"I... I finally let Kuchiki-san go...."
"What are you talking about, Orihime?"
"I was a burden to Kuchiki-san... without me... she could go to Kurosaki-kun now..." Orihime said, giving Tatsuki the most painful smile ever.
"I'm home...." Ichigo said tiredly as he entered his room. He had a weird day, what was that white haired dwarf talking to him about. It was so random to even bring up that embarrassing subject.
Ichigo put down his bag and then took out his shoes. He scanned around the house to see that it was all quiet. Yuzu was at a friend's house to study for a test, and Karin was playing soccer after school. The only person who should be here was his old man.
"Oyaji? I'm home..." Ichigo said, he walked around the house, then upstairs. But before he could reach the steps, he was kicked straight in the face.
"WELCOME HOME, SON!!"
"DAMN YOU!" Ichigo got up and rubbed his face of the soreness that he was experiencing right now. "Why'd you do that for!?"
"Hmm... because I love you~"
".... creepy..."
"Ara! So this is the Kurosaki men bonding, eh?" Ichigo rose his head up to see a man in the stairway. He had a white and green hat on to cover his face, and a fan covering his mouth. To Ichigo, he was very mysterious and suspicious.
"Who the hell are you?"
"That's very rude, Kurosaki-kun!" Urahara said, returning a smile to Ichigo, which made him mad. "The name's Urahara Kisuke!~" Then he looked side to side, like he was searching for something, "Ara? Where's Kuchiki-san?"
"What do you want with her?"
"Oh for something~"
"Are you trying to do some kind of perverted stuff to her?!" Ichigo asked defensively, knowing that this man was Ishiin's friend.
"No, no! I'm only going to do some weird things to her, and drug her.. stuff like that~" Urahara said, "I really like little girls!"
"That's what you call 'doing something perverted'! What are you, some kind of lolicon*!?" Ichigo asked angrily. Then he felt his father slung his arm on Ichigo's shoulder.
"Hahahaha! It's okay! Everyone's a lolicon!! We all like little girls!" Ishiin said, "Right, Ichigo?~ You like Rukia... her petite form and her A-cupped b-" Ishiin was interrupted by a smack on the face. Ichigo was red and he had punched Ishiin.
"PERVERT! How the hell do you know what cup she is?!"
Ishiin quickly got up, "OOOH!! Ichigo's interested on how I peek into things... well first when girls are in a long distance, I use high tech bino-" another punch landed on Ishiin's face.
"I'm not interested in those kind of disgusting things!" Ichigo shouted at Ishiin.
"W-Well you asked me, so I had to answer your question!" Ishiin said, rubbing his cheek.
Then all the men suddenly became quiet, when they heard the door open. They saw a small figure with sad looking purple eyes. She said her greetings tiredly and started taking off her shoes.
"Rukia... are you okay?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine.. nothing's wrong..." Rukia said softly, then she made her way to the stairs. Her eyes were glued to the ground. When she was on the first step she couldn't advance any longer. Urahara was blocking her way. "Excuse me..." But Urahara didn't move out of his place.
"Kuchiki Rukia, isn't it?" Urahara asked, a wide grin was plastered on his face. He folded back his fan and tilted his hat up to show his emerald eyes gazing at her. "My name is Urahara Kisuke." His name immediately brought Rukia's attention, as she suddenly lifted her head up with wide eyes staring at him. "Nice to meet you!"
"Urahara... Kisuke..?"
"I'm here to cure you, Kuchiki-san...."
OnigiriKami: Just to tell you all, there's no cure for AIDS, and I'm aware of that.... but since this is an AU... ya know..... and you don't want Rukia to die, right? Since she has recently developed AIDS, she has only about a month or two to survive before she dies, so I made this quick. I DON'T WANT HER TO DIE!!!
The next chapter will explain why Urahara wants to cure Rukia! And why Rukia already know him. Urahara has a cure! But he won't show it to the world, because he is in-debt to Rukia and he has only three antidotes to it. So it's useless to show it.
Yep, so the relay is only 5 days away!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!
What the hell will Toushiro try to do?! For Ichigo and Rukia?
Orihime broke up the friendship, because the bond that Rukia and she has is making Rukia not try getting Ichigo. So she cut her ties with Rukia and let her be. True friendship is not like goody-goody, It's tragic actually, because you have to actually sacrifice something for friendship... well that's what I think -.-' (for love troubling... entangling friendship)
OH!! And, I am going to make a chapter of what Senna really thinks of Rukia... if she is actually cruel and twisted... or... (not tellin ya :P)
*lolicon: someone who likes little kids, or people that looks like kids...
*I have nothing against homosexuals!! I am sorry to anyone that I have offended!! I AM VERY SORRY!!
