Chapter 24
Envy
The next day, when the happy couple got to school, they were once again the center of attention and the subject on everyone's lips. There was definitely a strong curiosity about the couple, but also about the individuals as well. They could practically feel eyes boring holes into the backs of their heads.
When they get to their class, Keigo immediately walks up to Ichigo.
"That slap mark didn't disappear for a couple of hours," Keigo says in amazement with his eyes round.
"You're still talking to her?" Ichigo asks with a bored voice. He rolls his eyes at his dumb friend.
"Of course! You never know when she'll want company in her bed again." Keigo says quickly in his own defense.
"You're a sad person." Ichigo tells him with a scoff.
"I can't believe what happened at lunch yesterday," Keigo says, shaking his head. "She surprised me." Keigo tells Ichigo. "You two really do make the perfect couple. Your temperaments are similar." Keigo says with a small grin.
"You do understand why Rukia attacked her, don't you?" Ichigo asks him with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He stares at Keigo as he waits for his answer.
"Yeah, Kuchiki-san was mad that Noriko hit on you when you came over during the weekend, and then acted like you wanted her to hit on you." Keigo says, further amazing Ichigo.
"It's okay with you that she was hitting on me?" Ichigo asks him with wide eyes.
"It's not like she and I are exclusive, you know. I'm not in love or anything. I just really like doing it with her." Keigo says with a smile. "I haven't forgotten how she treated me last year. I think it's really funny that she's been with me, considering some of the things she said about me before." Keigo says in a serious voice.
"So you're getting back at her by having sex with her?" Ichigo asks, not understanding his friend's thought process, isn't Keigo insulting himself?
"Kind of. It's not just that I have sex with her though, she's the kind of girl who will let you do whatever you want." Keigo says, and Ichigo just doesn't understand.
"What in the hell do you mean by that? Do I even want to know?" Ichigo asks him. Keigo leans over to whisper in his ear.
"I always spank her, and not lightly either and-" Keigo stops when Ichigo shoves him away by pushing his palm against his face.
"I don't want to hear anymore." Ichigo tells him with a look of disgust evident on his face. He's not happy with the mental images that Keigo just put into his head. He gives Keigo a pissed off glare for that too.
"Wait! I haven't gotten to the best part! She lets me put my-" He's silenced by Ichigo's fist. He doesn't know where Keigo was heading with that sentence, but he doesn't want to know how it ends.
"Shut up or I'll punch you again." Ichigo warns in a low voice.
"Why?" Keigo whines.
"I don't want to hear about what you do with that whore!" Ichigo yells it loudly, and several students walking by the classroom laugh at what he says. Everyone in the class titters as well.
"Don't be so loud!" Keigo says with an anxious look on his face.
"Then stop already!" Ichigo demands. Keigo nods his head meekly. He walks over to his seat and sits down. Ichigo sits in his seat and glances over at Rukia, who is watching him.
"Is he mad about what I did?" Rukia asks Ichigo quietly. Ichigo shakes his head.
"He doesn't even care about her. Only about getting her into bed." Ichigo explains, with a bit of a red face.
"Is that what he was saying in your ear?" Rukia asks with a knowing grin. She could tell by his expression as Keigo had tried to whisper in his ear that he had said something to embarrass Ichigo. He leans over to whisper in her ear.
"He was bragging that he spanks her, and when he tried to tell me more, I stopped him." Ichigo tells her, and when he pulls away from her ear, he can't meet her gaze. He'll die if Rukia tells him she wants him to spank her too.
"That's funny," Rukia tells him, and Ichigo glances at her to see her face lit up with amusement. "Remember when he slapped her butt in front of us?" Rukia reminds him.
"I discard those kinds of thoughts as quickly as possible," Ichigo tells her as he shudders from the willies. Rukia laughs.
"I like that about you," Rukia says with a smile, and she does. She's happy that Ichigo doesn't want to hear about a casual sex encounter and that he doesn't kiss and tell, like Keigo does. The only reason it amuses her, is because Itou angered her so much with her bitchy antics.
"Hi Rukia!" Renji's voice sounds from the hall and Rukia looks up and smiles and waves at Renji.
"Hey Renji!" Rukia replies, and several students notice her casual greeting with the unfamiliar red haired student and they quickly look to see Kurosaki's reaction to this development.
Ichigo doesn't react, however, he just starts getting out his books and Renji walks to his own class after Rukia waved at him. A few people get disappointed looks, since they had figured Kurosaki would have a reaction of some sort.
The teacher walks into the classroom a minute later and everyone rushes to their seats. When the teacher decides to address the class, her words bring raging blushes to Ichigo and Rukia's faces.
"Kurosaki, Kuchiki-san, I'd like to congratulate you on your future nuptials, I heard the two of you are engaged!" The teacher says it with a big smile, and Ichigo swears he hears Rukia squeak at the teacher's words.
Everyone's eyes are on them. Rukia's eyes are wide at the way they've suddenly become the center of attention yet again, except now it's during class. Some of the students are giggling and Rukia had not expected this. Ichigo looks just as embarrassed as she feels.
"Thanks," Rukia says softly, and she stares down at her desk to keep from seeing everyone else staring at her.
"Thank you," Ichigo says next. The teacher nods before beginning her morning lecture.
When lunchtime comes, Rukia and Ichigo leave the classroom, hand in hand. Everyone marvels at how even though he's a heck of a lot taller than her, they make a very handsome couple. She looks like she belongs at his side, and his nonexistent scowl has a startling effect as well. They look like a very happy couple, who are very much in love.
Some of the people who are more honest with themselves, and don't claim to have known all along that they were a couple, wonder how they didn't notice all of this before the announcement was made. The way Kurosaki looks at her is very different from any look he's ever given any of his other fellow schoolmates.
Rukia squeezes Ichigo's hand as they walk down the hall. She can feel all of the analytical eyes on them, and even though it makes her feel a bit like an animal at the zoo on display, she finds that it doesn't bring her down, because his hand offers more than enough comfort to get through the unwanted attention.
Ichigo also feels a bit miffed that once again everyone is observing his life with such blatant interest. He doesn't think he'll ever understand it, considering how often he feels like this, particularly since Rukia started coming to his school. The only thing making it tolerable is the way she squeezes his hand and depends on him for comfort.
When they make their way to the group, they find they're nearly the last ones there. Keigo is missing, which seems to be a frequent occurrence as of late, but nobody pays any mind to that. Rukia notices that Renji is there already, and once again he's seated next to Tatsuki. Rukia wonders whether or not they're becoming friends.
"Yo," Ichigo says as they join the group. Everyone acknowledges them with a smile when they see the pair holding hands. Rukia blushes a bit at the obvious looks at their clasped hands. Ichigo just ignores his friends though.
Rukia and Ichigo sit down and start opening their lunch bags, and pulling out their lunches. They're shocked when Keigo walks up to the group with Noriko and he gives her a bit of a shove towards Ichigo and Rukia. Noriko has a very disturbed look on her face as she confronts the girl who smacked her silly yesterday.
"I'd like to apologize," Noriko says in a very tight voice. "I should not have provoked you like I did, and I was wrong. I'd like to make it up to the both of you if you'll let me." Noriko says. Ichigo glances at Keigo who nods his head yes to Ichigo. Ichigo sighs, he hopes this isn't another silly trick of Noriko's to somehow get them back.
"Let her make it up to you, I talked to her." Keigo tells him. Ichigo nods at Keigo and then looks at Rukia.
"It's up to Rukia." Ichigo says, and Rukia gives him a small smile. She's glad that he's letting her decide what to do. Ichigo doesn't think for one second that she'll forgive Noriko.
"That all depends. What did you have in mind, for making it up to us?" Rukia asks with a raised eyebrow.
"My parents won't be home for the weekend, and I will happily throw a party for everyone sitting here in order to make up for my past rude behavior." Noriko tells Rukia. Renji elbows Rukia.
"Give her a chance." Renji tells her, and Rukia sighs. She can't tell if the girl is being sincere or not.
"That depends. Will you be walking around topless at this party?" Rukia asks in an icy voice. Noriko blushes.
"Not unless every other girl does too." Noriko answers. Rukia gives Noriko a threatening glare if she's lying, before she finally nods her head slowly in assent. Noriko's eyes widen at the nod.
"Alright, we'll come to your party." Rukia tells her. "However, if you try any funny business, you'll be a lot worse off than yesterday." Rukia says to get her point across. Noriko nods quickly. Keigo grabs Noriko's arm and pulls her over to the spot where he usually sits.
"You don't have to worry, Kuchiki-san. We've decided to be exclusive." Keigo says, and everyone looks very surprised at this response, particularly Ichigo. Both Rukia's acceptance to go to Noriko's party and Keigo's about face in regards to Noriko.
"Tell me why you decided to accept her offer of apology by a party," Ichigo says softly, and Rukia gives him a sideways glance and a pretty grin before she responds.
"I love parties." Rukia admits with a blush. "If she agrees to stop making plays for you then I would love to go to a party, it's been awhile. I'd especially like to go to a party with you." Rukia tells him with an excited smile. Ichigo rolls his eyes at her reasoning.
"Your lack of caution astounds me. You were ready to really fight her yesterday." Ichigo says with a look of disbelief.
"She didn't know I was who you were engaged to though. It's not like I want to be close friends with her, but why can't we all get along at a fun party?" Rukia asks him with a hint of a pout. "Besides, you'll be with me, and I'm always safe with you." Rukia says smiling. Ichigo grins.
"When you put it that way, you make me want to go too." Ichigo says.
"Who else will come?" Keigo asks them all.
"I'll come," Renji says immediately.
"Me too," Tatsuki says immediately after him. Both Rukia and Ichigo look surprised at Tatsuki's quick acceptance.
Soon after, every single person has agreed to come and Keigo is smiling triumphantly at Itou. She'll have a terrific party to brag about and everyone else might start warming up to her too. When she had cried to him at the start of lunch that nobody liked her, Keigo had softened considerably. He had told her that if she wanted to be exclusive, he'd help her regain her popularity.
She had looked at him very doubtfully and he had told her that he could do it. They made an agreement that if his plan worked, and people agreed to come to her party, that they'd be exclusive. The moment Rukia had agreed, it sealed the deal. Noriko feels a huge wave of relief that she isn't having to sit in some corner by herself crying at how hated she is. She decides to throw the best party she possibly can, in hopes that her status this time next week will be more like Kuchiki-san's has been this week.
"Thanks, Keigo." Noriko says it very softly and Keigo grins at her.
"No problem." Keigo tells her.
"Us girls should all go shopping for a new outfit together!" Tatsuki says excitedly, causing almost everyone to stare at her in shock. Tatsuki's never been big into shopping. Everyone wonders why this has changed, except for Rukia and Renji who don't know Tatsuki isn't big into shopping.
"That sounds like fun!" Inoue says to Tatsuki.
"I'm in!" Chizuru says next. "Orihime, I can help you in the dressing room!" Chizuru says before she pounces on Inoue and hugs her closely and tightly. Tatsuki punches her hard and Chizuru sinks down onto her back and moans in pain.
"I don't need to go shopping, I recently bought a bunch of clothes that I've never even worn yet," Rukia tells them honestly.
She also worries about the questions that the girls would ask if they all got her alone without Ichigo. She doesn't want to be bombarded with endless questions by all of them at once. She and Ichigo haven't even discussed what to say when they're asked exactly how they got engaged, which is bound to happen sooner or later.
"Really?" Tatsuki asks with a bit of disappointment. Rukia nods at her.
"Yes, and plus I join Ichigo's family for dinner every night and we work on our homework and study together." Rukia says quietly.
"Really? That's cool!" Kunieda says with a sigh. She wishes she had a smart guy to do homework and study with, for her that would be perfectly ideal. Ichigo blushes at that comment.
"You eat with his family every night?" Inoue asks feeling another huge wave of jealousy wash over her. She has always wished she could join Ichigo at his family dinners ever since Tatsuki explained to her how his father is such a fanatic about their family dinners.
But she is his fiancé. She's practically family.
"Yeah, I love his family," Rukia says with a grin. "I feel like I've gained two sisters! I've always thought of his father as a second father too," Rukia tells Tatsuki before she eats some of her lunch. Ichigo grins at her. His family loves her too.
"I love your bracelet!" Michiru says all of a sudden to Rukia. Rukia smiles at her as she admires the bunny and heart bracelet.
"It was a present." Rukia tells her with a blush.
"From Kurosaki-kun?" Michiru asks wide eyed. She is amazed when Rukia nods her head yes. She had never imagined Kurosaki-kun might be nice enough to buy his fiancé such a pretty bracelet. She finds herself wishing she had a boy who bought her pretty jewelry too.
"Ichigo got you that? I didn't realize that when you told me it was a gift yesterday morning," Tatsuki says with a laugh. The girls all look at the bracelet, admiring it. Ichigo doesn't meet anyone's eyes as this happens.
"Ichigo has given me a lot of presents," Rukia explains, causing Ichigo to blush harder.
His friends exchange glances with one another. Every time they're sure they've finally gotten used to the way Kurosaki acts around Kuchiki-san, something else happens to shock them. Nobody had imagined that Kurosaki showered Kuchiki-san with gifts.
"It looks like you have a really good relationship," Mizuiro says, with a nod of his head.
"I think we do," Rukia says with a grin.
"You two look good together," Chizuru says, earning a pleased smile from Rukia who agrees completely.
"Don't you think so?" Tatsuki asks Renji as she taps him gently on the arm. Renji nods his head and gives Tatsuki a smile.
"I guess so, I hadn't really thought about it," Renji lies, not wanting to reveal that he had feelings for Rukia for a very long time.
"They do look good," Mahana says with a nod. She hasn't met any boys that really interest her, though like most girls she has the customary tiny crush on Kurosaki, nothing like Inoue, but a small crush all the same.
"Thanks, I think we look good too." Rukia tells Tatsuki and Renji. Ichigo can't help but grin a little bit. He likes that people think they look good together. It feels good to be together with her.
Noriko bites her lip at all the attention and envy directed at Kuchiki from every single girl in the group, with the exception of Tatsuki, it seems. It's all due to her relationship with Kurosaki too.
Noriko had once imagined that it was her who was at the center of this kind of envy for being with him, but he'd never once shown her any interest at all. If anything, he'd always been completely disinterested. Even now, the realization of that really chafes her, not that there's anything she can do about it.
Everyone eats and discusses Noriko's party. She decides to hold it on Saturday, starting early in the day not to end until Sunday. She decides everyone should start arriving around four in the afternoon at the earliest.
"We won't be over until after dinner," Ichigo informs everyone, and Rukia nods.
"His father is really insistent. But we will come," Rukia tells everyone. Ichigo tugs on her arm. Lunch ends within a minute. Ichigo stands and offers Rukia his hand. She grabs it and doesn't let go as they head off towards class. Several girls give wistful looking faces to their backs.
When they go to head home after school, Renji decides to walk with them until he parts to go to his apartment. He's relieved that the past two days seem to have gone very smoothly, with no obvious sign of a threat, only the mere possibility of being watched.
Rukia and Ichigo hold hands the whole way that he walks with them, and Renji realizes that Ichigo's feelings are for real. He's never anything but kind to her when he's around her, and Renji is thankful for that since he wouldn't be able to cope with it if Ichigo wasn't treating Rukia the right way.
When he parts from them, he walks slowly as he considers it's about time to move on. As much as he cares for Rukia, it's obvious that she's only into Ichigo. Tatsuki and Inoue end up catching up to him since he's walking slowly and Tatsuki grins when she walks up next to him and slows her own step to stay next to him.
"I can't get over the feeling that you study martial arts." Tatsuki says to him. Renji glances at her and smiles. He doesn't mind that this girl caught up to him.
"Yes, I'm trained in the martial arts," Renji admits with a grin.
"I have practiced karate since I was four." Tatsuki tells him proudly. Renji smiles at her.
"I don't study karate, I study Gracie jiu-jitsu." Renji tells her softly. Tatsuki jumps at the opening to talk about martial arts.
"What does that style entail?" Tatsuki asks with interest. Inoue is curious too. She glances at Renji as she waits for an explanation.
"It's a style that focuses on ground fighting." Renji tells her. "It centers on submissive techniques to end the fight." Renji explains easily as they all walk together.
"Really?" Tatsuki asks with a happy smile.
"Yeah, it's a very effective style," Renji tells her.
"It sounds fascinating." Tatsuki tells him with a grin. She's ecstatic that she's having an actual conversation with him that isn't about other people but about him.
"It's pretty cool." Renji answers her.
"Do you want to do homework together?" Inoue asks Renji. "That's what Tatsuki-chan and I were going to do." Inoue tells him. Renji smiles and nods.
"Sure." Renji says, smiling again at the dark haired girl next to him. He likes her no nonsense attitude.

Rukia and Ichigo do their typical before dinner routine with getting a jumpstart on their homework. They work very hard to get their work done.
When Yuzu calls them down for dinner, Ichigo tells the family about how Itou apologized today for her rude behavior. Yuzu had smiled and Karin hadn't had much reaction. Isshin had grinned too.
"She realized she didn't stand a chance, eh?" Isshin had asked with a knowing smile.
"Actually she's in an exclusive relationship with Keigo now," Ichigo tells his father. Isshin looks shocked.
"Really?" Isshin asks, surprised at this information.
"Believe it or not," Ichigo confirms with a funny look on his face.
"School seems to be interesting lately, you never used to have anything to say last year," Isshin says with a smile. Ichigo gives Rukia an accusing look but she skillfully ignores it. Karin snickers since she saw the look Ichigo gave to Rukia.
"So you're going to blame it on Rukia-chan?" Isshin asks with a grin. He doesn't doubt that it's true, but he's sure his son has played some guilty role in all the drama in his school lately.
"Yeah!" Rukia chirps, turning her head at Ichigo.
"I didn't say it was all her fault," Ichigo says quickly. Rukia smiles and turns back to the last couple of bites of her meal.
"Good." Rukia says.
"You two are funny," Karin says with a laugh.
"Shut up!" Ichigo tells her. Karin smirks at him.
"Come on Ichigo, lets go work on our homework," Rukia tells him after she eats the last of her meal. Ichigo nods.
Rukia grins as she looks forward to their routine make out session after finishing their homework. It's her favorite part of the day, to lay in his arms, or sit in his lap and kiss and touch. He always makes her body feel like it's on fire, and he always looks at her with such a wonderful look in his eyes. He makes her feel truly cherished.
None of her senses ever react negatively to his touches. Everything about him is exciting and amazing. He always mumbles such sweet things too, as they make out. Rukia hurries through her homework so that she can enjoy once again the feel of being in Ichigo's arms.
When they finish, Rukia grins at Ichigo in anticipation. He jumps into the bed and pulls her into his arms. It's his favorite part of the day, too. He feels the most relaxed and happy when she's in his arms and he can kiss her senseless.
He loves the soft and quiet little moans she makes when he's kissing her deeply. He can tell she enjoys the closeness as much as he does. He can never get enough of running his hands all over her soft skin. He can't forget the way he'd felt so worried for her over the weekend and he tries to show her with his mouth and hands how much he loves her.
He loves everything about being with her, the feeling of her skin, the feeling of being inside her, the feeling of her hair when he runs his fingers through it, and the way she reacts to him. He gives her as much of himself as he can for having his family running around nearby, which of course meant they couldn't go all the way.
He starts to massage her breasts as he kisses her and he uses his fingers to rub her nipples until they turn hard under his fingers. He groans into her mouth at the feeling of her nipples all hard underneath his touch.
She responds in the way that drives him even more crazy by being so eager, willing, and accepting whenever he touches her. She always welcomes his touch and he has no problem telling when he's pleasing her, by the way she reacts with uninhibited emotions when they're intimate.
The time they spend in each other's arms always makes time fly, and neither one of them want to pull apart when it's time to head downstairs, since ten o'clock is nearly upon them.
Ichigo walks her to her door, and Rukia motions for him to wait a minute. She quickly checks around inside and then comes back and smiles at Ichigo. She grabs his arm and pulls him inside and upstairs into her bedroom. They continue their make out session in her bedroom, and they slowly remove all of their clothing. Rukia kisses Ichigo urgently, she's been wanting this ever since the last time they finished making love. They don't spend that long making out though, since both of them are longing for more than that from the time they spent making out in Ichigo's room.
In hardly any time at all, Ichigo is above her naked body with his own, ready to enter her. He stares into her eyes as he does so, and she stares back and moans as he enters her, making her feel very sentimental as she stares into his warm eyes.
"I love doing this with you, it's beautiful," Rukia whispers before he starts rocking in and out of her. He pulls himself into a push up position and doesn't use her body to support himself at all. He supports himself with his own hands against her bed as he swiftly pulls out and pushes back in at a very quick speed.
For Rukia, it's the most amazing sensation to only feel him moving inside of her and not resting any of his weight on top of her. She lets out several excited breaths with moans laced into them and Ichigo can feel her excitement building by the way she's raising her hips in an energetic and enthusiastic motion against his own body. He can hardly control himself when he feels the trembling of her body signify release of her climax. Ichigo ends up yanking himself out of her when he feels his own climax coming on. He presses himself against her stomach instead and presses his chest against hers as he releases.
Rukia smiles lovingly at him when he collapses completely on top of her and then swiftly rolls to the side.
"Follow me," Rukia tells him as she pops out of the bed. Ichigo follows her into the very luxurious bathroom.
"Wow, this is really nice," Ichigo tells her, a bit self conscious about how he's naked in front of her after sex.
"Take a bath with me!" Rukia whispers with a glint of mischief in her eyes. Ichigo couldn't say no if he wanted to. She runs the water and they climb into the tub together. Ichigo finds that it's very enjoyable to help her wash her body. He also enjoys letting her wash him. They cuddle together in the warm water and Ichigo kisses her neck. He thinks it's relaxing to bathe with her.
"I can't ever get enough of you," Ichigo whispers softly in her ear as she leans back against him.
"I can't get enough of you either," Rukia tells him smiling. "So I'm glad you're in the same condition," She whispers happily.
They spend a long time in the tub cuddling until the water starts to feel like it's lost its heat. When they get out, Rukia hands him a towel and then grabs one of her own.
Ichigo is able to successfully sneak out of Rukia's house without ever being detected by Shoko, and Rukia smiles in complete bliss as she looks out her window and sees Ichigo enter his bedroom through his window. She loves that she's this close, it is such a warm and wonderful feeling. Rukia hugs herself as has a flashback of their love making session.
That's the bedroom window of the guy I love.
Rukia sighs in content as pulls out her laptop and she quickly checks her emails. When she sees one from Aizen, she opens it and reads it in anticipation.
I am giving a special lecture that is open to the public this weekend, will you be in Tokyo? If so, you're more than welcome to come and listen.
Professor Aizen
Rukia grins at that. She hopes he always lets her know about events such as these, since it sounded interesting.
She replies back that she will not be in Tokyo since she has a party to attend with classmates. She thanks him for the offer though and asks him to let her know of these kinds of events in the future as well. Rukia clicks send, and then she gets off the computer to go to bed.

"Call your guy and have him get as many men as he needs to keep a close eye on that girl, she has a party planned for this weekend with her classmates. I want a group of ten men to go into that party and subdue those kids. I think that if there is a large group of you, it will be quite easy to get our hands on Kuchiki." Aizen tells one of his trusted men who has plenty of guys willing to do whatever he asks. He also lets out a sigh of frustration that he has to wait until the weekend for this opportunity.
"Sure thing," The man says on the other line as he listens to Aizen intently. He'll do whatever this man asks of him, if he gives him back his future.
"Also, be sure that when you deliver her, you've gotten rid of your cohorts. You and the girl are the only ones I want to arrive back here." Aizen instructs him in a hard voice.
"Understood." The man replies dutifully, and a bit nervously.
"Oh, and Kira? There is one kid that might be at the party who is capable of taking down four grown men. Make sure you bring someone or a couple of people specifically to incapacitate him. Don't completely underestimate them just because they're teenage kids." Aizen instructs, remembering the way Kuchiki Rukia had put a painful grip on his wrist at the teahouse. " Make sure no kids see your faces either." Aizen finishes with a loud breath after his rambling. He wants it all to go smoothly, no mistakes this time around.
"I have several men in mind already. Guys who teenage kids would find to be terrifying." Kira assures him, he can tell how important this is to the professor.
"If you succeed, I guarantee you that dream job at The Tokyo Shimbun, since I know someone there who can get you in . You won't be committing crimes anymore, you'll be reporting on them, except for of course anything from the past that involved you and I for both of our futures." Aizen tells him. He hears Kira gasp on the other line.
"I will not fail! Thank you Aizen-sensei!" Kira says excitedly. It's his dream to end his life of crime and to take on a respectable job, find a nice girl to marry and lead a normal life.
"That's what I hoped you would tell me. Get to work you do not have the luxury of doing a half assed job." Aizen orders before hanging up the phone. He glances at the picture of he and Rukia together and he licks his lips.
He laughs at how easy it was to find out her weekend plans. It's like having an inside scoop on her life. He's quite certain that security at the house in Karakura Town has been strengthened, and he doesn't believe in trying a failing method for a second time.
He grins as he imagines a group of men storming the party and scaring the hell out of the teens. He knows that psychologically, most kids would follow whatever orders are given to them in such a situation.
The other kids will give the account that a group of men kidnapped Kuchiki and nobody will ever suspect that the professor had anything at all to do with it.
He smiles at his genius idea. He knows that this plan has a much higher success rate. He's done a lot of research into the psyche of young people due to his own personal sick and twisted interests. He's in a much better mood than he was yesterday. He knows that even if Kira fails, he'll never point the finger at Aizen, although Aizen doesn't even want to consider the possibility of another failure.
"Wait until you're all mine, Kuchiki Rukia." Aizen says in a voice that's full of amusement and promise.
He can hardly wait. He remembers the way she looked in her leotard for her gymnastics practice and he just can't stop grinning. Very soon his life will no longer be dull, because he will have a new pet. A new pet that he can really get some enjoyment out of.
