Chapter 25: How to have fun
She was browsing through the files in her laptop when suddenly she got an unexpected email.
"E-mail? Why would she email me?" She whispered before opening the email. Her eyes scanned it and a word escaped her mouth.
"Reunion?" She said and for some reason her busty friend heard her.
"Did you say something, Rukia?" The blonde haired woman said walking towards the petite woman. She closed her laptop before replying, "It's nothing" with a sigh. Rangiku blinked twice at her sudden action then shrugged before continuing.
"So…" She said leaning her back on Rukia's desk.
"Just say what you have to say already." Rukia said as she scanned some papers on her hand.
"Well, it's actually a surprise but if you insist." She answered cheerfully before leaning down to whisper something to her small companion.
"Tonight, we'll go to this bar downtown. It'll be awesome." Her voice getting a little louder than a whisper. Rukia raised an eyebrow as she looked up to see her friend.
"What makes you think I'll come?"
"Because it'll be fun!"
"Um… no thanks. I'll pass."
"Oh come on! I heard lots of hot guys go there."
"So?"
"Dear, you need to lighten up and enjoy life." She said putting an arm around the raven haired woman. "I mean come on, when is the last time you had sex?"
"Rangiku!" She yelled her face flushed red.
"What? I was just being rational." She defended.
"Why don't you mind your own business?" A red headed Renji said approaching.
"Oh, so you were eavesdropping?" Rangiku said straightening up.
"I'm not! With your voice, even deaf people could here you!" He yelled trying to stop his face from blushing.
"Whatever, don't mind him Rukia. Renji is just jealous because he never got a chance to get laid." Rangiku said winking at the petite woman.
"Hey! That's not true!" He yelled his face turning pink.
"Really, Rukia just don't mind him. The closest thing he has ever gotten when it comes to sex is doing it to himself." She scoffed. Rukia covered her mouth to stop her laughter.
"Shut up!" He yelled his face heating up with anger. Matsumoto started to giggle.
"So what do you say dear? Are you game?" She asked but the petite woman gave her a weak smile.
"I… I can't…"
Rangiku rolled her eyes, "you are missing the point, the opportunity!"
"If she doesn't want to come, don't force her." Renji added.
"Oh, shut up Renji, nobody asked for your opinion." The blonde woman retorted turning her back on poor Renji who just growled inwardly.
"Please, just for once, don't be such a shrew." Rangiku pleaded with puppy dog eyes but it didn't seem to have an effect on Rukia.
"No."
"It doesn't mean that if you have a so—"Rukia quickly covered her officemate's mouth before the busty woman could even finish her sentence.
"Ssshhh!" She hushed her and she nodded slowly.
Suddenly the sound of heels hitting the carpeted floor was heard and shortly after, they heard a familiar voice.
"So, you are planning on slacking off again huh?" Another small woman said with a glare, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Soifon…" Rukia whispered as she lets go of Rangiku.
"I knew I was right to keep my eye on you, since everytime I turn my back, you turn into the lazy pigs you are." She said venom clear on her tone.
"Well, excuse us for living life." Rangiku retorted sarcastically.
"See? That! That's the reason this company is being held back. Don't you get it? It's because of employees like you! Matsumoto Rangiku!"
"See? That! It's because of your attitude that you, Soifon, have a wacked social life!" Rangiku said putting her hands on her hips.
"How dare you, talk about my social life? Sluts like you and Kuchiki here don't even deserve to work here!"
"Hey!" Renji yelled trying to stop the two women who seemed to stab each other with sharp glares and tongues. He was pretty sure that if those glares were blades, there would be blood all over the place and the two would have been dead by now.
"Stay out of this!" Both Rangiku and Soifon shot at Renji.
"Look, what's your problem?" Rukia asked trying to hide her irritated tone.
"What's my problem? You!" Soifon yelled pointing a finger at Rukia. "Ever since you came here, you've been acting like little miss goody-goody but I know that deep inside that pathetic mask of yours is the slut that you truly are! You're just a newby! Amatuer! You don't have the right to—" Her angry voice was cut off when a hand covered her mouth. She gasped and quickly turned around.
"My, my, looks like you guys are having fun here." A dark skinned woman with her purple hair tied up in a pony tail said as she looked at the three and at Soifon. She lets go of the poor girl's mouth.
"Yoruichi-sama!" Soifon gasped taking a step back and bowing at Yoruichi.
"So I heard you guys are planning to go to that bar downtown?" Yoruichi asked and Rangiku nodded enthusiastically.
"It's called the Shinigami bar!" Rangiku added.
"Oh, I heard it was a great place." The purple haired woman said with a smirk.
"It is! Why don't you come with me and Rukia, we could check it out!" Rangiku offered.
"I'm not really comi—" Rukia was cut off by her boss.
"Sounds great! What do you say Soifon? Wanna come?" She offered the blushing woman.
"I-I… um… b-but… what about work?" Soifon glanced at Rukia and Matsumoto before looking back at Yoruichi. Yoruichi sighed, "Oh, well. Looks like I can't come Rangiku."
"What? Why?" The busty woman asked in confusion.
"Unfortunately, little Soifon here still needs to cool her head." She said with a smirk before she wrapped an arm around Soifon's shoulder and dragged her.
"Yourichi-sama!" Soifon cried in embarrassment.
"Oh and by the way," Her head turning back to them, "Kuchiki!"
"Y-yes ma'am?" She asked surprised at the sudden call.
"Go with Matsumoto."
"B-but—"
"That's an order." She smirked winking at the petite woman. "Oh and Abarai!" She called out.
"Y-yes?" Renji answered a bit startled.
"Get back to work." She said before she continued to walk out of the room as she held Soifon close to her.
"Come on, come on. Can't you go any faster?" She said as she excitedly jumped up and down. Her orange blonde hair bounced up and down.
"Alright, alright, it's not like I actually intend to go…" She whispered as she continued to fix her things.
"I heard that! Don't make me tell on you!" She teased like a kid. Rukia rolled her eyes.
"So you really are going?" Renji asked helping her fix some of the papers.
"I guess I don't have a choice." She answered with a weak smile. "Why don't you come along?" Rukia offered.
"I guess, I could go." He answered with a hint of doubt.
"Oh please, I bet you've been dying to hear her invite you to come with us." Rangiku teased.
"Whatever." He said as he starts to fix his things on his desk. Everything was going well for him so far but everything doesn't always go the way you planned them.
"Hey Renji, what are you doing?" Renji's head turned slowly to look at the person who spoke.
"Oi, Hisagi. I'm going now, man" He simply replied.
"Going? Wait a sec you can't go. You said that you'll help me do all the paperworks we missed last week." Hisagi explained.
"Oi Renji, could you hurry up? The bar might be closed already when we get there, it's because you're too slow." Rangiku scoffed waving a hand at Renji as she and Rukia stood by the door of the office.
Renji pulled Hisagi's tie to whisper something.
"Look man, can we just do this some other time, I need to go now." He pleaded. Hisagi glanced at the door and saw the two women waiting. He sighed and looked back at Renji.
"Renji, I know you're doing this because you like Kuchiki and I have nothing against that but Renji, these papers were due last week." Hisagi said handing the papers to Renji. "That was the reason our boss was here this morning, she was looking for these." He added.
"Oh…" was all that Renji said as he stared at the papers and took in a deep breath before approaching the two women at the door. He was thinking of making a run for it but…
"Hey… I guess you two should go ahead, I still have a lot of things to do here. Maybe next time." He said trying to make out a smile which he was doing a really bad job at.
"Oh… Then I'll help you so that you'll finish early." Rukia offered but he just lightly tapped her head with the rolled up bunch of papers that he was holding.
"Stupid, you go have fun. I'll take care of things here." He answered with a smirk and she nodded slowly.
"Alright, can we go now?" Rangiku said pulling Rukia.
"Okay, okay. G'night Renji!" She waved at him her voice fading as her busty friend pulled her away. Renji walked back to Hisagi.
"I'm really sorry about this." Hisagi apologized.
"Nah, let's get to work." Renji said as he sat back on his chair.
"Why am I here again?" He asked adjusting his glasses.
"Because, I'd probably be swarmed by annoying people that I don't know if I stayed here longer." He yelled as the loud music plays in the background.
"So? What does that have to do with me?"
His mouth opened and closed before speaking again, "I have no idea."
"That's it, I'm going home." He said standing up.
"W-wait! Where are you going, Ishida?"
"I'm going home. I have a lot of better things to do rather than stay in a place this crowded." He yelled pointing at the people dancing together in the middle.
"What? Do you have an overdued sweater to finish? Lighten up!" He said sitting comfortably on the chair.
"You don't even know why you're here as well, and you're the one who dragged me here, which means if YOU don't even know the reason why you're here then I pretty sure I didn't have a reason to come." He exclaimed.
"Then why did you come?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Ishida growled inwardly.
Because you told me that she'd be here, you bastard.
Ishida walked away and disappeared into the crowd before his companion could even catch him. When the orange haired man couldn't find his friend anymore, he went back to sit on one of the chairs beside the counter in the bar. He brought out his phone and started to dial a number. A ring was heard several times but no one answered.
"Shit! What the hell are you planning?" He cursed the phone hoping that the person he was calling hears him.
"Eeepp. Ready?" She squeeled like a little girl as they approached the doors.
"Just open the door already." Her companion answered putting her hands on her waist. Rangiku pushed the doors open and there you could here the loud music coming from the stereos and the smell of alcohol was spread throughout the place. There were people howling and shouting as they dance throughout the music. It was a little dim at the dance floor but the bars on the side was lit by little bright lights.
"Woah! This is where the party starts, come on." She said pulling the petite officemate with her. They tried to blend in with the crowd. Rangiku was enjoying the music. She dance moving her hips here and there but Rukia just swayed to the music and watched her friend go wild. Rangiku continued to show her moves until she bumped into someone.
"Oops. Sorry." She said turning to face the person who caught her. A thin but tall man looked at her with his sharp features intacked. He had a wide grin and grey hair.
"Careful, Miss. You might hurt yourself. It's pretty crowded." He whispered.
"R-right. S-sorry about that." She giggled a little. Rukia rolled her eyes when she saw a flirty look in her friend's face.
"I'll get something to drink." She said but Rangiku just nodded still looking at the man she just bumped into. Rukia made her way through the crowd carefully since she's pretty small to be easily crushed. She took in a deep breath when she finally reached the counter.
"Damn, that was a lot of people." She huffed as she wiped her forehead with her hand.
"Rukia?" His voice made her head turn immediately.
"Kurosaki?" Her face was that of misbelief.
"What are you—"They both said at the same time.
"Arg. Nevermind." She said taking her seat.
They were both wearing business attires. Ichigo just looked at her…
No, way… is she the—
"Give me a shot of your finest tequila please." She said to the bartender and the said man just nodded.
"You drink?" He asked almost surprised.
"What? I'm old enough to drink."
"So? You have the body of a twelve year old; I'm surprised they even let you in here." He scoffed.
"For your information, I may be petite, but I could definitely hold my alcohol." She bragged.
"Oh really?"
"Yes, really!" A shot glass filled with tequila was placed on the counter. She took hold of it and gulped down the liquid.
"Let's bet." Ichigo suggested.
"What kind of bet?"
"Let's see who could hold their alcohol better, you or me?"
"Fine… First one to pass out, loses." She added.
"Deal." He offered his hand.
"Wait! What's in it for the winner?" She asked before shaking the deal.
"Winner gets to do what the loser says for a whole day." She tapped her chin before taking the offered hand. "Deal."
"So we just take shots until one of us passes out." She confirmed.
"Ah." He replied. He called for the bartender to give them another glass and a whole bottle. Ichigo gulped down his first shot.
"Drunk yet?" She joked.
"Are you kidding?" He poured her glass with some alcohol and she quickly drank the beverage. They drank a few more shot. It was the same routine.
"Damn, so? Are you alone?" He asked after gulping down the liquor.
"No, Rangiku is with me." She said pointing at the busty blonde woman flirting with a grey haired man in the dance floor.
"Oh, you have a chaperone." He scoffed as he poured her another shot.
"Shut up, what about you? You're alone…" She said before taking in the offered beverage.
"I came here to meet someone…"
"Who?"
"It's no one special."
She placed her elbows on the counter and rested her chin on her palm. She exhaled and started to pout.
"Who's at home with Ken'ichi?" He asked as he examined her expression.
"Kiyone…" She replied not looking at him.
"What's wro—"
"Why am I even here?" She asked. He raised an eyebrow at her sudden question.
"What do you—"
"I don't even like going to bars…"
"Then why did you—"
"Yoruichi and Rangiku forced me…" She pouted even more before taking the now refilled shot glass and gulping the alcohol down ending with an "ah…"
"You mean…" His voice fades out.
Damn that old hag…
"Hello." He said as he answered his phone. He was busy signing a few papers.
"Ichigo! Meet me at the Shinigami bar tonight, I have a surprise for you." She said with a hint of happiness clear in her tone.
"What the—? No way!"
"If you don't go, don't ever bother going back to the restaurant." She said.
"W-w-wait! That's not even your res—" And, she hung up.
He looked back at Rukia who was now pouring tequila in his shot glass.
She's not much of a surprise though… he thought before taking the said glass.
A few more moments, both of them seem to be still on their feet, except one…
She shook the bottle and looked inside it through its hole.
"Oi, Kurosaki. We're all out." She said handing him the empty bottle of tequila. He took it and put it aside.
"I think you had enough." He said.
"What the— the deal was until one of us passes out!" She answered with a scowl before calling the bartender to give them another bottle. The bartender placed the new bottle on the counter. She poured some in his shot glass but he grimaced and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Let's stop this now." He said.
"You quit already?"
"No, it's obvious that a little more and you'll be the one who falls"
"You're just saying that because you can't drink anymore."
"In case you haven't noticed, you look more smashed than I do?"
Her face was turning pink in anger as she clutched the bottle.
"I'm going to make you eat your words." She said before chugging down the liquor.
"Oi!" He yelled standing up and pulling the bottle.
"Let go! This is mine, buy your own!" She scolded.
"I don't want to drink, I want you to stop."
"Make me." She said sticking out her tongue.
"Why you little—"He pulled harder. "Fine." She lets go of the bottle and he was taken a step back. He tried to balance himself up. She took out her wallet and placed it on the table after grabbing a few bills that she handed to the bartender. The bartender nodded and she stood up walking towards the orange haired man. She kicked him on the shin. It made him almost drop the bottle of tequila. He cursed before glaring at her but she walked away with a "hmph." He rubbed the sore spot and he noticed something on the counter. He took the purple wallet.
"That idiot." He said before joining in the crowd of dancing people.
There were really a lot of people that night. It was hard to move around but the people didn't seem to have any problems with it for most of them were drunk or either having too much fun. Then he noticed that there were people who were circling someone in the dancefloor. The people were howling and cheering as they watched. He tried to squeeze in to see what the commotion was all about. His eyes widened when he saw…
"Come on people! Let's dance!" She yelled and the crowd's cheer grew louder. Her hips swayed to the music. She pulled a random man from the mass of people and they both started to dance. She clapped her hands to create a beat.
"Alright!" She cheered when the man started to move a little more lively. Her arms were raised as she moved with the sound of music. She does some sexy moves which got a lot of the other men's attention. Some of them began to dance beside her. She continued to mind her own business as if not noticing other people trying to dance too close to her, although that didn't matter because someone else noticed. He forcefully pushed himself through the crowd. Some yelled back at him and some glared but he paid no attention to them.
"Hey!" He called out and it made her look up.
"Well, well, now look who's here" She said putting her hands on her hips.
"What the hell are you doing, you stupid midget?"
"What does it look like? I'm dancing asshole." She retorted.
"You've had enough dancing for one night." He tried to grab her arm but she quickly evaded it.
"Hey! Stop bothering me."
"Not unless you stop this craziness."
"I'm not crazy, stupid. Go home!" She said pointing at the entrance.
"Look you had too much to drink."
"Are you saying I'm drunk? What nonsense." She said rolling her eyes. "Hey everyone! Am I drunk?" She yelled asking the people all around them. The people cheered some more and hollered. They all talked at once which made it hard to comprehend what they were saying especially since the music was loud too. Everyone started clapping their hands together with the beat.
"See Kurosaki? I'm not drunk!" She said laughing and turning around to face someone else (or another guy). She was dancing again as if she didn't notice that he was there. Well to her, it didn't really matter if he was there or not. She tried to concentrate on the music and have fun when suddenly someone grabbed her on her waist. She flinched a little at the touch and her eyes followed to whom those hands were from. She realized it was the man that she was facing. She didn't know who the man was. As she thought about it, she just continued to dance along as if not contemplating at all.
"Yeah… show me your moves…" The man said as his hands moved lower. She paid no attention to it and closed her eyes which let her only hear the music and yelling party people. But then, her "partner" seemed to yell something different.
"Hey! Let go buddy!" Her partner shouted. It made her stop.
"You let go." He retorted as he almost crushed the poor man's arm. She turned to face him.
"What the—"She didn't finish.
"Hey man, I'm just here to have fun." Rukia's "partner" said pulling his hand away from the scowling man's grip and raised his hands in defeat as he walked away.
"What hell is your problem, Kurosaki?" She scolded pushing him away. He didn't budge and scowled deeper.
"In case you haven't noticed, he was trying to grope you, midget." He said pointing a finger at her and she pushed his hand away.
"So? Let him." She answered firmly.
"Are you out of your mind? You don't even know that guy!"
"So what if I don't? It has nothing to do with you!" She said facing away again but he grabbed her arm.
"Ah! What the heck is wrong with you?" She asked glaring angrily at him and he glared back while his grip tightened around her arm.
"Fine. You want to dance? Then dance, see if I care!" He yelled back letting go of her arm, took a step back and crossed his arms over his chest. Her mouth gaped open as she maintained her scowl expression. She walked towards him her heels hitting the floor hard but nobody paid any attention. She was standing in front of him. Herfist clenched with anger and she pulled his tie to lower him down to her level. They were still glaring at one another yet their faces were an inch away from each other.
"Dance huh?" She loosened her grip on his tie. He straightened up and raised an eyebrow. Then, she began to walk around him taking each step slow and in accordance to the new song playing and eyeing him from head to toe. He scowled in confusion as he tried to figure out what she was planning. When she was finally back to where she started, she uncrossed his arms, turned around and placed them on her hips before she began to sway her hips. She made sure that her back and bottom was touching him as she slowly moved down. He swallowed hard as he stared at her with wide eyes. His hands were just resting on the place were placed them. He had only one thing in mind…
Oh, fuck…
After moving back up, she turned around to face him. She looked at him with what seemed like lustful eyes. She placed her hands on his chest as her hips moved continueously. Then, her hands began moving as well. She moved them upwards going around his shoulder but when she stopped, she pulled him down. His reflexes kicked in as he tried to balance himself and hold her up with his hands on her back. She clinged onto him. Their faces were really close this time and they could see that both of them were breathing hard. Ichigo didn't know if what caused him to breathe hard was because of her suddenly pulling him or if it was because of the proximity between them. He gently placed his forehead against hers, closed his eyes and sighed. Then, he felt her sigh as well. She began to straighten up and he couldn't help but do the same. That's when he noticed that the music ended already. The orange haired man looked at the raven haired woman but she walked away, stumbling a bit and looking for a new partner. He rolled his eyes when she tapped one of the random men's shoulders and a group what seemed to be men in their early twenties began to dance with her when the a new song started playing once again. He stride towards her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the group. The said group began to question him and told him to give her back but he just glared at them with eyes that said 'say one more word and you're dead' which was enough to scare the group and they went back to dancing as if nothing happened.
"Hey! Let go, Asshole!" She yelled as she struggled to pull her arm and take away his strong grip.
"You're going home." He plainly said.
"What the… You can't just—"He stopped to turn around. He bent down reached for her, and carried her on his shoulder. Her stomach was on his shoulder and one of his arms wrapped around her to prevent her from falling. Her eyes widened in surprise and began to struggle. People all around were looking at them and began to whisper and murmur.
"Ah! Put me down!" She yelled angrily hitting his back continuously but he just continued to walk.
"Damn you Kurosaki, you are going to regret this!" She warned.
"Just shut up" he said.
"I won't unless you put me down." She answered but she noticed that they weren't headed for the exit.
"Hey! Where the hell are you taking me?" Then she heard another familiar voice.
"Rukia?"
"Rangiku?" She tried to turn to look at her busty friend but she failed.
"Help! I'm being kidnapped!" She yelled but Rangiku just giggled and Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"Hi there, Kurosaki Ichigo. I'll go take your friend home. If it's alright?" He said offering his hand to the blonde woman.
"Oh! Matsumoto Rangiku, nice to meet you." She answered gleefully taking the offered hand. "And this is Gin." introducing the man beside her. Gin just nodded once. Ichigo glanced at the man before turning back to Rangiku.
"Anyway, sure. Take her anywhere you want." She added with a wink.
"Rangiku!" Rukia yelled and struggled more. Ichigo smirked before turning around and walking away. Rukia gave Rangiku a death glare but the busty woman just waved good bye.
They arrived outside. She continued to curse and violently hit his back as she continued to break free. He felt a nerve pop in his head in irritation.
"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" He yelled in frustration but nonetheless, continued walking until he saw his familiar cherry red car. She started to mumble but he paid no mind to it. When they reached the car, he gently put her down. She stood up straight with poise beside the shiny red car and fixed her wrinkled attire before crossing her arms over her chest. Her violet eyes glared straight at the person with her.
"What the hell are you waiting for? Get in." He said opening the door of the car for her.
"No."
"What the—"
"I can go home by myself." She said arrogantly looking away. He slammed the door shut before scowling.
"I offer you a ride home and you decline? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? What about you? You're the one who dragged me here!"
"Why can't you be, just once, try to be more of a person and not the selfish little bitch you really are— Ouch!" She kicked him hard on the shin.
"I never asked for your help and I never asked for a ride." She was about to walk away when suddenly he slammed his fist on the car. She flinched a little at the loud sound it created. He leaned down so that he was facing her at an equal level. She had her poker face on and it made him scowl deeper.
"Go back in there and I'll just drag you back here." He warned.
"You don't scare me."
"Try me." He said with a dead serious look and Rukia, from past experiences she knew that that look meant 'You know that I can do it and I will'. She slowly shook her head in disbelief. They just stayed in their positions before she spoke again.
"Arg… Fine!" She said in irritation. Opening the door, getting in and slamming it back shut. He walked around to use the other door to the driver's seat. He started the engine and began to drive. She rested her head on the back of the chair and faced the side so that she wasn't facing him while he drove. Sometimes, he'd glance at her but he couldn't see her face. After a few more minutes they arrived at their destination. He pulled over in front of the house.
"Hey, we're here." He said not looking at her but straight ahead. She didn't reply and he sighed.
"Look, I'm sorry for dragging you but think about it? What would Ken'ichi—"He turned to her but she still wasn't facing him.
"Hey, stop ignoring me, I just—"He leaned forward and saw her sleeping with a peaceful expression. He scratched the back of his head before sitting back down.
Damn…
Then he decided to go out of the car. He walked around to open the door on her side. As much as he didn't want to disturb her, he just couldn't let her sleep in the car especially when they were already parked in front of her house.
"Hey, wake up…" He whispered but she didn't budge. He poked her cheek a little, "I said wake up."He said again but it only made her frown and groan, she was still asleep.
"I guess I don't have a choice." He said before he slipped his arm around her shoulders and his other arm under her legs. He began to pull her out of the car and carry her up. For some reason her arms wrapped around his neck and her head rested on his shoulder. He kicked the door of the car shut. He reached the gate of the house. He stopped when he heard her speak.
"Ichigo…" She whispered lazily in a soft tone.
Did she just call me by my name?
"What?" He asked back.
"I… I don't…"
He raised an eyebrow as he waited for her to finish her statement.
"…feel so good…" Her hands began to clutch him. His eyes widened when he realized what was going to happened next.
"N-n-no! Wait—"He tried to stop her but he couldn't do anything about it. She began to vomit on his back. The sounds she made only made him want to vomit too but he just ended up cursing.
Fuck! This is what I get for getting myself involved with this midget.
He noticed that she stopped. He took a deep breath, "You done?" He asked sarcastically but she didn't answer, she already returned back to her slumber. He reached for the doorbell and rang it a few times. Kiyone suddenly came out of the front door and hurriedly ran towards the gate when she saw Rukia being carried by the orange haired man, she was tripping a little.
"What happened to her?" She asked worriedly as she opened the gates.
"Its fine, she's just tired." He explained. She sighed in relief, "thank goodness."
"Here, help her up for a sec." He said as he put down Rukia and Kiyone assisted him. The raven haired woman just groaned. Her arm was around Kiyone's shoulder. Rukia wasn't that heavy which made it easier for Kiyone to assist her to stand besides the fact that she was limpy. Ichigo took off his office coat.
"Why did you take it off?" Kiyone asked in curiosity.
"She puked on me." He said plainly.
"Oh…" She said in a softer tone and regretted asking the question. He puts the coat back inside his car and walked back to Kiyone to pick Rukia up once again. He carried her inside while the dark blonde girl followed.
"Where's her room?" He asked. She led him upstairs and pointed at the last door on the left. He nodded and entered the room. He placed the sleeping woman gently on the bed and covered her with a sheet. He leaned down and whispered,"I give you a ride home and you puke on me, is that your way of showing gratitude?" She moaned and faced the other way. "Fine, your welcome." He said sarcastically before he straightened up and exited the room. Outside he came across another door. He opened the said door a little bit and saw a spiky haired little boy was sleeping soundlessly on the bed. He smiled before closing the door. Downstairs he saw Kiyone preparing to leave. He offered to give her a ride home but she giggled and explained that here house wasn't really that far so she'll just walk.
Meanwhile back at the bar, Rangiku tapped her chin.
"What's wrong?" The man beside her asked.
"N-nothing, it's just that… that man… Kurosaki Ichigo… Looks familiar for some reason." She said but Gin just gave her a confused look.
A/N: Alright, I'm done with Chapter 25. I can't believe it. I had a bit of a hard time writing this one because I haven't really planned what would happen yet not like the previous flashback chapters which I had in my mind for weeks before the day that I wrote it. Anyways, thank you very much for those who keep on reading and reviewing, you are very much appreciated and for all those who added my story in their favorites, you rock! You guys are really the best and you totally know how to make my day by giving great reviews. I love reading your reviews. You're the reason why I even reached chapter 25. Well, really sorry for the wrong grammars and other errors. As for me, I don't drink alcohol and I have never been drunk hahaha XD. Anyways, please tune in for the next chapter. Continue reading and reviewing. ILY guys and God bless :P
