Chapter 21 The Examination and The Image

The exam starts early. They already taken their other exam, math were the second to the last of the exam. The last exam was their home economic class.

Everybody was concentrating on their paper. Not even glancing at others, the ones that only glances up are those people that didn't know what the answer is or those that didn't study.

"Miss Urina and Damdonia, please see me after school at the faculty house and you may leave this class now and go to your next subject" Ichimaru Gin took the papers from their table and cut it with his scissors, he was enjoying himself.

The two people stare at their test papers being cut too many pieces. "How… why did you do that?" they shouted.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?" Gin look at them with a smirk on his face.

"We didn't do anything!"

"Please stand up then, Miss Urina" she was froze. Gin was looking at them. "I said stand up" his tone has changed, she immediately stand up of surprise. There was a piece of paper fall. "Tch! Tch! You should be shameless of what you are doing" he picks up the piece of paper. Then look at the other girl.

Her face was shock also. "I – "she was stop by Gin when he came closer to her.

"You should be too! Copying answers… I could kick you out of this school you know?" he was grinning. "This school is elite of elite; we don't accept students that are hopeless and don't have own effort. Now that you think about it how did the two of you pass the entrance examination if you can't even guess this easy exam? Well I think I heard you two are pretty rich." He smiled.

Everyone started whispering. "He said easy…"

"Yeah, I even crack my brain studying this yesterday…"

"I even pay a million to have a tutor to learn these things…"

"He shouldn't say it boldly; we're not nerd like him…"

"I been in top in my previous school, but this problem give me headache…"

Gin look at the class that are whispering. "Class please don't mind us and continue answering, I know you all thinking that I said is true don't be too proud, okay?" He said it happily.

It's the opposite, asshole!

"Where were we? Oh yes, about cheating. You should be grateful to me, I guess." He said he crossed his arms.

"What?" The two said.

"I dismissed you early so that you have an hour and about 15 minutes to study in your next subject, see I'm nice right?" He said proudly, thinking that he was really kind to them.

"Pft" Grimmjow chuckles. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it" Then they all laugh.

The two girls are very embarrassed now.

Gin was smiling, thinking that they all agreed to him. He noticed that Rukia wasn't answering her test sheet. He gave a questionable face. Is she already finished?

"Let's get out…" The girl said they were almost crying and they we're cursing him.

"Aizen-san looks like we'll be having a new officer in handling an entrance examination next year." He smiled. Aizen just nodded. "Now go now" he looks at the girls.

They run to the door crying.

Rukia was just answering. The meeting yesterday with the teacher and Toushiro was just about crap! They said that they should maintain or increase their average and will not be tolerate if we suddenly decrease even a point.

Toushiro was still answering his test sheet, Ichigo, Shuuei and Grimmjow look like they are having a bad time.

Inoue was solving in a scratch paper as well as Momo.

Rangiku, Tatsuki and Yumichika are trying hard.

Rangiku got an 80.01 average since she wanted to live in the condo she called out Inoue and Momo to have a home study in her house.

Momo got an 88.96 average, she was very good in everything but not like Toushiro and Rukia.

Tatsuki got 84.98 so she really studied hard so that she can reach 85 percent she wanted to be with everyone, she saw Rangiku try hard also, they were kind of rivals in everything except for love, I guess. She didn't want to lose to her.

Yumichika got exactly 85 percent he wanted to be beside Rukia and the others also. Rukia visit him when he was sick but because of his sick they only study half, that's why he's having a bad time solving things that Rukia didn't teach him.

Toushiro noticed that Rukia was already finished, while he has 9 more to go. I can't believe that we have the same average!

Shuuei 84.20, Grimmjow 84.04. This two really don't study a lot not like Ichigo and

Toushiro, but because they didn't want to be left behind in their house they beg Toushiro to tutor them.

The bell rang.

"Those who are finish can pass their paper and have their vacant." Gin said. "You should finish that or you won't get a time on studying on your next subject."

Rukia stand up, pack her things and reach her paper to Gin.

"Oh my, as expected" Gin took it.

Rukia walk to Yumichika's table "I'll be waiting at the canteen" he still have 75 left some of his answers are random.

Yumichika was so very concentrated and didn't look at her. "Okay."

She slides the door to go outside.

"She's so brilliant" Momo murmured.

"Huh?" Inoue look at her.

"Kuchiki Rukia." Momo sighed.

"Yes. I heard she got 94 or something." Inoue thought.

"Was she just waiting?" Momo started answering again. She still has 45 to go.

"Waiting?"

"What, you didn't notice?" Momo stop and look at Inoue. "It was already 20 minutes or something before she stops answering her test sheet. In Math Class they have total 1 hour and have 180 items in their math exam, all are Problem Solving.

Inoue suddenly stop and look at her test sheet she still got 60 to go. It was already their break time. She… finishes her exam in just about 40 minutes… Inoue was kind of depressed.

Momo felt responsible to it. "Hey she just got a photographic memory, well maybe. Don't be like that and start answering, I'll left you if you don't hurry"

Inoue smiled. Thank god I got friends!

Toushiro was finished; she heard what Momo and Inoue were talking about. I didn't notice it maybe because I was concentrating too much in this exam. He stands up and packs his things. "Ichigo I'm going to the canteen."

"Okay, buy us some bread because I think there won't still be students in the canteen, only you nerds' people!" Ichigo wasn't looking at him. He knew he would be mad. But he can't give a damn about it, he still has 55 to go and it was his revenge. He was going to have a date with Rukia but he kept on following.

Shuuei has 63 and Grimmjow has 65.

Toushiro just sigh and go to the canteen.

Rukia was alone in the canteen. It's empty. She saw Uryuu walking while reading a textbook. "Hey Uryuu!"

Uryuu was surprised to see her. "Hi"

They sited. "You really are getting into it." Rukia look at him. He was now eating while reading.

"I need to pass so that my dad will acknowledge me…" Uryuu said with a serious face.

Her eyes widen. Acknowledgement… She started trembling, she remembers someone. She holds on to her arms.

Uryuu got worried because she wasn't talking to him. He drops his text book. He saw her shaking. That's when Toushiro got in the canteen. He noticed it too.

"What's happened?" Toushiro rush to their table.

"I – I don't know! She just started trembling" Uryuu was confused. He touch Rukia's forehead it was hot. "I think she got a fever."

"Fever? Let's get her to the clinic." Toushiro suggested. Uryuu just nodded.

Clinic

"Don't worry, she'll be just fine" Unohana Retsu said with a calm voice, then Koutetsu Isane came out.

"Unohana-san I got the medicine that you wanted." Isane said, she was surprised to see Uryuu. "Ishida-kun"

"Isane-san what are you doing here?" Uryuu asks.

"I'm a trainer in here; I'm planning to be a doctor." She smiled.

"We're the same." He smiled back.

"Stop with your lovey-dovey" Toushiro was staring at them. Unohana was smiling.

"Don't think wrong!" they both said.

"So Kuchiki-san has a fever." Isane said while placing a towel on her forehead. "And today was examination I hope she can get better." After that she left.

Toushiro and Uryuu were reading a text book.

After a few minutes Rukia started trembling again. There was this man image it was so blurred that she can only see a black figure. She decided to open her eyes. To see Toushiro and Uryuu worried faces.

"Are you alright?" Toushiro asks.

"I feel dizzy."

"Do you need water?" Uryuu said he was already holding a cup of water.

Rukia reach for it, she holds to it then Uryuu removed his hold on to cup. Rukia drop it.

"Dummy! She's still weak!" Toushiro shouted at him.

"Brat! I didn't know!" Uryuu shouted back at him.

"Please be quiet" Unohana came out of nowhere. Uryuu and Toushiro was surprise by her presence.

"Sorry."

"Are you feeling okay now?" Unohana look at Rukia.

"I just feel dizzy, what time is it anyway?" Rukia lift her head.

"10 minutes before home economic examination will start" Uryuu said.

"Then I must get going now" Rukia stood up.

"You said you still feel dizzy rest for now I will tell the teacher that – " Toushiro was stop.

Rukia was smiling at him "I'm fine don't worry, thanks for worrying about me" she look at Uryuu. "I'm sorry if I disturb you, I hope you have a good condition in studying while I was sleeping."

Uryuu and Toushiro blushed. Unohana chuckle "You could go all now, if you still feel dizzy please come right here."

"Thank you Retsu-san" with that they walk to their room.

Unohana look at her. You change a little but… I hope you can forget about him.

"I'll be going now, good luck and Rukia be sure to get well. Okay?" Uryuu was still worried.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" Rukia and Toushiro walk to their room.

Uryuu was still standing beside his classroom. How did she know that I was with her all this time? He sighs. He enters their classroom. Everyone was looking at him. He felt like an alien.

"It's the first time that he was almost late"

Uryuu heard that. Late? I'm late? He felt someone presence behind he turn around to see his homeroom teacher Urahara Kisuke.

"It's really odd to see you almost late, well please be sited." Urahara said.

"Yes, sir!" He walks to his chair.

"What happened?" Uliquiorra was looking at him.

Uryuu shoved his glasses and told him about Rukia.

Toushiro and Rukia were walking slowly. "Do you still feel dizzy?"

"A bit" Rukia answered.

"Your face is still red. Get some rest after school, I'll walk you home." Toushiro said while he looks at her pale face. She's getting worse…

"But – "

"No buts!"

Rukia just smiled. Is this what they called caring boyfriend?

Toushiro slides the door.

"Why are you late?" Aizen stop checking and look at the two. He notices that Rukia's face was pale and red.

"We we're in the clinic. We're really sorry if we are late? Can we still take our exams?" Toushiro was serious; he was worried because Rukia might fell she still walks hazily.

"Of course! Is she really okay she looks pale?" Gin helps Toushiro to walk her into her seat.

When she sited down, she was panting hard.

"Here" Gin reaches them their test papers. His face was blank he sigh.

Ichigo, Shuuei and Grimmjow were shock. They look at Toushiro; sign something that he tells them all after the exam.

Momo look at Rukia. Oh my, she's really red.

Inoue kept answering. She look at Rukia, she was having a hard time answering.

Rukia's vision was getting blurred. Shit! I can't read it. She remembers what Uryuu said to her earlier.

"I need to pass so that my dad will acknowledge me…"

It made her teary, but she didn't want to cry, not in front of this people.

Why did you abandon us? Hey tell me… why?

The first to pass their test papers were Momo and Inoue.

Gin and Aizen felt like, Rukia doesn't want anyone near her or looking at her.

"Those who are finish please leave now" Aizen said. After a few minutes everybody was finished except for Ichigo, Shuuei, Grimmjow and Toushiro. They purposely slow down.

Rukia was included. 10 items to go, she notice that the teacher and her classmates were looking at her. "Please stop looking at me…"

"Don't worry Rukia-chan just continue what you are doing" Gin was beside her.

Finally she was finish. I want to go home… Hisana…

"Let's go" Toushiro took Rukia's bag.

"Hey, I can carry that" Rukia insisted.

"I can carry it too" He turns around. "Ichigo you can go now, I'll walk her home."

"Are you idiot?" Ichigo said.

"Huh?"

"We'll walk her home too of course!" Shuuei laughed. "Now…"

They blink.

"Let me carry you Hime-sama!" Shuuei suddenly carried Rukia. Bridal style.

Grimmjow kick him. Ichigo catch Rukia.

"What the fuck was that?"

"Pervert!"

"What did you say?"

Suddenly they heard a loud step. Someone slide the door.

They blink.
