It was already a little over a week since the last time Rukia had visited the Kurosaki residence. And Rukia was again, stuck at home, bored out of her mind. Rukia wanted to go to Urahara's store to buy a manga, but Rukia was afraid to leave her house.

It was because the past week whenever Rukia stepped out of her house, Senna seemed to appear out of nowhere. Sometimes Senna was alone, and other times she was either with Ichigo or Yuzu. It didn't seem to matter to Senna who she was with, because whenever Senna saw Rukia, Senna would talk about some sexual exploit involving herself and Ichigo.

"AARGHH!" Rukia yelled out of frustration and boredom. Rukia then started pacing back and forth in the living room. "(*Sigh*) Okay, I can do this! I'll just pick up the manga and come straight home," Rukia said to herself as she mentally formed a plan to get to Urahara's shop and back home without running into anyone she knew.


The second Rukia stepped foot out of her house, she was on guard. She was constantly checking to make sure there was no one walking behind her. Whenever, she rounded a corner she had to double check that there wasn't anyone she knew coming from any direction. If Rukia heard voices nearby, she would hide behind a wall, a tree, a bush, anything she could find nearby, once the voices were gone, Rukia would cautiously come out and continue towards her destination.


When Rukia made it to the store she let out a sigh of relief and thought, 'I made it! But I can't let my guard down, I'm not home yet.' Rukia then quickly made her way to the manga section of the store and chose the manga she wanted. On her way to the register, she made sure the coast was clear and there was no one in line, in fact it seemed like luck was on her side because the store was pretty empty at the moment.

When Rukia made her way to the register she quickly said, "Hey Jinta."

"Where are your friends? Aren't they always with you? Y'know I keep running into Kurosaki, but I don't really see Yuzu – chan. Why didn't you bring Yuzu – chan?" Jinta continued talking about Yuzu while he was ringing Rukia up. Rukia, however, was not listening to anything Jinta was saying, she was just trying to leave as soon as possible.

As Rukia was handing Jinta the money for the manga, Rukia heard the bell that signaled that a customer had entered the store. Rukia slowly turned her head to look at the customer. Rukia let out a breath she didn't know she was holding, when she it was an elderly lady that had entered the store. As soon Rukia had the change in her hand, she took her bag and ran out of the store.

"Hey! You! Get back here! I wasn't done talking to you!" Jinta yelled at Rukia. Jinta then got some odd looks from the elderly lady that had entered the store. Jinta looked to the side trying to hide his embarrassment.


'Phew! That was a close one!' Rukia thought as she was walking home. Rukia was extra vigilant on the walk home. Rukia had a death grip on her bag. She was almost home. Just one more block and she was home free. After checking that no one was nearby, Rukia turned the corner and she couldn't believe it! There was Ichigo, a few feet in front of her.

"Hey Rukia," greeted Ichigo.

'Damn it! How did I notice him?! He has orange hair for crying out loud!' Rukia inwardly scolded herself.

"Rukia?" Ichigo asked when he did not receive a reply.

"Ah, oh…hey Ichigo. Where are you going? Where's Senna – san?" Rukia asked, as she looked all around trying to spot any sign of Senna.

Ichigo gave Rukia an odd look and said, "I'm actually on my way to meet up with her –"

"What?! I, uh, I got to go!" Rukia said and took off running to her house.

Ichigo watched her run off and thought, 'What the hell?'


Once Rukia was in her house, she went to lay on the couch. Rukia then let out a sigh of relief and thought, 'That is more than enough adventure for the day'.
