PLEASE READ IT'S IMPORTANT:
I wanted to put on my profile the links for the dresses, but Fanfiction doesn't let me, no matter what I do it doesn't work so if anyone of you can sort of tell me what to do I'll be forever grateful. I'll reveal on the author note of the bottom where Rukia's dress came from so you can look for it (Don't look at it beforehand or you'll spoil the scene, I'm serious), again guys I'm sorry!
The one who is behind the title of this chapter is: RukiYuki!
THANK YOU REALLY YOUR IDEA WAS BRILLIANT SO THE TITLE IS DEDICATED TO YOU!
Please enjoy and I apologize but I suck at describing clothes so I took most of the description for the same page of the dresses. I don't know why I'm so nervous about your reactions for this chapter guys.
Moving on…
Chapter 24.
"Skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony."
The day prior to the dance was everything Rukia expected it to be; everyone was excited and chatting about dresses and suits. She, on her side, was panicking, basically she was ready; her dress was safe inside her sister's closet, the makeup she was going to wear was on her sister's vanity and all she had to do was to get dressed, but her stomach wasn't settling, she was extremely nervous.
The worst part was that she didn't know what she was nervous about.
Was it Ichigo's reaction? Or was she afraid at her own reaction of seeing him dancing with Yui? Goddamn, at this rate she wouldn't be able to eat peacefully. She opened her locker and noticed a little note, without thinking too much about it she tucked it safely inside of one of her books. She was already regretting going along with Riruka's plan…
After the news exploded on the webpage of the school people wouldn't stop talking about her, some even congratulate her for dumping Ichigo, while other boys suggested how they could be her date. She obviously, rejected all of them. Tatsuki and Orihime promised to have her back at the dance, even after Rukia told them not to worry, they insisted. It was too funny to miss.
Rukia sighed.
Tomorrow was Saturday so Riruka would sleep today on Rukia's house and they would get ready together.
Classes for the day were over, so she closed her locker and was about to leave when Ichigo appeared in front of her, he looked stressed for some unknown reason.
"Hey there, carrot top" she greeted "I thought you had practice."
Ichigo gulped.
Yes, he had practice, but he wasn't looking forward to it. Apparently when the boys kidnapped him they didn't tell to Kenpachi that the whole team was going to miss the training, so the coach, was mad as fuck with them. He was probably going to torture them so they couldn't feel their muscles or legs for the stupid dance. Ichigo sighed, it wasn't going to be nice.
"Are you okay?" Rukia asked him while taking a step forward, she put a hand on his forehead, he looked sick but he didn't have a fever, before she could ask him again what was wrong Ichigo grabbed her wrist.
"Midget…" he said and looked straight at her violet eyes. He wanted to tell her how anxious he was feeling; he didn't want to go to the dance, at least not without her, at some point he thought that going to the dance was a waste of time but after he invited her, he was actually looking forward to it.
He wanted to go and pick her at her house, he could easily ignore Byakuya's death glares, he wanted to see her wearing a ridiculous and expensive dress, because he was sure that Hisana-san wouldn't let Rukia wear something cheap, and he wanted to spend the night laughing with her. He could even try to dance, just for her. But now, things went horribly wrong and he ended up inviting another girl, who was sort of annoying… goddammit! He wanted to punch himself.
"I…" he said "I'm sorry."
Rukia blinked confused, his hand was still around her wrist but he wasn't hurting her, it was almost as if he was making sure that she was paying attention to him.
"You're sorry?" she asked.
"I'm sorry for everything" he said "I mean I know we already apologized but I'm regretting everything now!" he explained "I…" he took a deep breath to let out his next words "I really wanted to go with you to the dance."
Rukia's eyes widened as she looked at Ichigo; it meant a lot to her, hearing him saying this. She almost felt bad for him but a part of her, a little, really tiny part of her, was telling her how he deserved this, because he was the one who cancelled without hearing her explanations first. But still, this was Ichigo, he was like her sun, always there and always shining, so seeing him so miserable was killing her.
Smiling at him, she hugged him, leaving him breathless.
"I'll save a dance for you." She promised.
Ichigo just hugged her back.
Byakuya was sure that his whole weekend was going to be a nightmare; Hisana couldn't stop talking about how perfect the dress Rukia had picked was and how she couldn't wait to start the makeover and so much girls stuff, that Byakuya could actually feel his ears getting stuffed with glitter by every single word of his gorgeous wife.
Why, this sort of ridiculous activities was so important to the females? The worst part was that Rukia, the same girl who despised the patriarchal system, was eager to be part of this?
He needed a drink.
"So, we're all set, right?" Riruka asked the girls once classes were over.
"Yes!" Tatsuki said happily "I'll get there before you so I can keep you inform about who's getting to the dance and with who."
Riruka nodded.
"Ishida-kun will pick me up at seven" Inoue said with a shy smile "I'll have my cellphone ready so we can text through the whole dance."
"Perfect" Riruka said with a grin "I made a group chat so we'll receive messages from… loser? Are you okay?"
The three girls turned to look at Rukia who was slightly pale and she was holding her stomach as if it hurt. She didn't want to tell them, but the nervousness was winning the battle and she wanted to throw up her whole lunch. Dresses, makeup, dances, lights, texts and evil plans were too much for her, too freaking much, suddenly she was regretting going along with the whole thing.
"I think that I'm pregnant" Rukia said and Orihime gasped "I want to throw up and I'm dizzy and oh my Gosh I can't go to the dance."
Riruka rolled her eyes.
"First of all" she said "you're a virgin, you cannot be pregnant, you're just nervous."
Tatsuki nodded.
"Calm down" she said "it's just a dance."
Rukia nodded.
Yeah… just a dance, she would just have to use the most ridiculous and expensive dress she had ever bought and, no, nope… her stomach wouldn't be able to hold her lunch much longer.
"We have to go" Tatsuki said checking her wristwatch "come Orihime, see you tomorrow."
When the two girls left Riruka turned to look at Rukia; luckily the hallways were empty since most of the students left quickly to get ready for tomorrow's dance.
"Okay loser" Riruka said seriously "what's worrying you?"
Rukia gulped.
She didn't know where to start; first of all, would the dress look good on her? Would she be able to stand the heels the whole night? Would Yui try to ruin her good time by dancing sappy and romantic songs with Ichigo? Would the carrot top look at her? Christ! How would she explain to her sister that Ichigo wasn't going to pick her up?
"Rukia" Riruka said again "are you okay?"
"I'm nervous…" she admitted "extremely nervous."
Riruka put her hands on Rukia's shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze.
"Don't be" she said "you'll be the most gorgeous girl on the dance floor."
"I'm sorry" Rukia said suddenly and Riruka frowned.
"Why?" she asked.
But Rukia didn't answer her, instead, she hunched and threw up her lunch all over Riruka's shoes.
"I'll kill you" Riruka said while patting Rukia's back patiently, although on the inside, she was dying "but first, the dance" she took a deep breath "come on loser, you owe me a new pair of shoes."
Saturday afternoon, 5 O'clock.
Orihime checked her clock, she had exactly two hours to get ready for the dance, she danced around her apartment because she couldn't hide her excitement. She was going with Ishida Uryuu to the dance! She couldn't wait! She took a seat in front of her mirror and started to comb her hair with a classy, yet messy, bun. She thought that it was sort of overused for these kinds of events, but she liked it because it was comfortable. She let a few locks of hair to frame her face, then, she started with the makeup.
She applied black eyeshadow and waterproof mascara, not too much, afraid to look like a panda. She kept it simple and natural.
She smiled at her reflection and stood up to walk straight to her closet.
She opened it and took out her dress; she was ready to use it.
She put it on and appreciated herself on the mirror. The dress was a classic floor-length formal gown, it had a figure flattering ruching that finished with a twist on the v-neck, it was sleeveless and it had wide lace straps wrapped around to the back that framed a keyhole opening above the ruched waist. It looked marvelous on her body and it was comfortable enough to dance.
Orihime grabbed her purse and put inside her cellphone, lip-gloss and her apartment keys; after that there was a knock on her door.
"Coming!" she said smiling.
When Uryuu heard Orihime coming towards the door to greet him, he fought the urge to panic, he was nervous because he was going to the dance with the most beautiful girl around the whole high school. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. He checked his black suit again, it was quite simple but elegant nonetheless.
Orihime opened the door suddenly and Ishida's heart leapt.
"Inoue-san…" he said breathless.
"Hello, Ishida-kun!" she said with a smile.
"You look…" he gulped while a blush tainted his cheeks "you look…" he couldn't find the words "you're so beautiful."
Orihime blushed and her smile got wider.
"You look really handsome Ishida-kun" she compliment him and grabbed his hand "shall we go?" she asked shyly and Uryuu nodded.
He couldn't wait.
"Are you ready?" Tatsuki asked Riruka while checking herself on the mirror.
Riruka huffed at the other side of the line.
"Not yet" she said and Tatsuki could hear the exasperation on her voice "it took us a lot of time and effort to put makeup on Rukia's face."
"I can't blame her" Tatsuki said "I hate that shit, my face feels heavy and I swear I'm not wearing a lot."
Tatsuki heard how Rukia was yelling at the other side of the line things like "No! you can't make me! I'm not going!" and "Holy fuck those are my heels?! Do you want me to die?! What kind of sister are you?!"
"Is she okay?" Tatsuki asked a little concerned.
"She will be" Riruka answered with conviction "this is for her own good."
There was more yelling and Tatsuki winced.
"If that's how she behaves while putting on a dress I don't want to imagine her for her wedding day…" she said "or through pregnancy."
"Oh my God" Riruka said "let's hope it never happens."
Someone rang the doorbell and Tatsuki gasped.
"That must be Renji" she said "I have to hung up, see you later."
"Sure" Riruka said "have fun and try not to lose your virginity tonight."
Tatsuki huffed and hung up. She put the cellphone on her black purse, because she was totally going to need it, and went to open the door.
Renji didn't know what to expect about Tasuki. He had overheard around the hallways several girls talking about how colorful and amazing their dresses were, and while he couldn't care less, he grew a little curious about what kind of dress would wear Tatsuki, she wasn't girly and since she used to spend most of her time training she never wore makeup.
Renji sighed.
In the end, it didn't matter to him. He liked the girl and no matter how she looked, he was completely sure that he was going to have a blast with her, honestly. He thought all of that while waiting for her to open the door and when she finally did it, Renji gaped completely amazed.
Tatsuki was wearing a curve-hugging party dress. It highlighted her hourglass figure perfectly, it had a low v-neckline with spaghetti straps that created a captivated effect and her legs… goddamn, with those black heels her legs looked amazing. She looked fearless, as always, and Renji swore right there that he had the hottest dance to the dance.
Tatsuki smirked at Renji's reaction.
"Nice to see you too." Tatsuki greeted and Renji coughed trying to compose himself.
"You look…" he said "hot."
Tatsuki could feel heat rising to her cheeks.
"Thanks" she said "so, are we going or what?"
Renji took the chance to give her a red rose that he had hide behind his back.
Tatsuki blinked surprised.
"What's this?" she asked while taking it carefully between her hands.
"It's a rose" Renji said stupidly "it's for you… thank you for going with me tonight." He looked aside to hide the blush from his cheeks.
"Thank you." Tatsuki said sincerely and she thought right there that perhaps dances weren't so horrible.
"Remind me again" Miyako said, with a smile, while Kaien opened the car door for her, charming as always "how exactly did you break your nose?"
Kaien winced.
Long story short, after they untied Ichigo from the chair, the orange haired teenager was so angry about the PowerPoint presentation and his kidnapping, that the first thing he did was to punch Kaien right on the face. There was a crack and his nose started to bleed quite profusely, it was painful as fuck.
"Luckily I look handsome as always, right?" Kaien asked.
Miyako rolled her eyes amused.
"Sort of" she answered "but since we have time before getting to the dance" she said "would you explain again; why did you kidnapped your own cousin?"
Kaien sighed and explained everything to his girlfriend.
She nodded several times, understanding everything.
"So, it is safe to assume that this dance will be full of drama?" she asked with a playful smile.
"Totally." Kaien said and they both laughed.
They couldn't wait.
Byakuya drank the whole bottle of whisky while trying to ignore her little sister's cries from upstairs, he had always known how much Rukia hated wearing formal clothes, but this was on another level completely. She yelled, kicked, cried, bite and even then Hisana and Riruka didn't give up.
It was quite a sight.
In the end, Rukia ended up telling Hisana that she canceled Ichigo because he accepted, for pity, Yui's invitation to the dance, believing that Rukia would be okay with it. Hisana got a little mad and promised right there to make Ichigo regret his decision by transforming Rukia into a Princess. It was then when Rukia paled and the whole ordeal started. Byakuya locked himself inside his studio when she saw Rukia's puppy eyes looking at him.
Two hours had passed since then and the only thing he had accomplished was to finish his expensive whisky bottle.
"Byakuya-sama!" Hisana yelled from outside the door "they're ready! You can come out."
Byakuya nodded.
He walked towards the door and when he opened the first one he saw was Hisana, she took his hand happily and dragged him towards the end of the stairs.
"Okay, he's ready!" Hisana yelled and Riruka appeared at the top of the stairs.
She was wearing a black tailored suit, which she had bought at Yoruichi's store, and she was wearing her usual pig tails.
"Ladies and gentleman" the pink haired girl said dramatically "I have the honor to present, tonight, the Princess of Karakura town… Kuchiki Rukia."
It was then when Rukia appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Well, Byakuya-sama" Hisana said "do you have anything to say to your little sister?"
Byakuya's eyes widened.
"Are you sure that she's Rukia?" he asked looking at his wife.
Hisana huffed.
"I'm completely capable of recognizing my own sister" she said taken aback "what do you think?"
Byakuya looked at Rukia once again, and making sure that his face didn't betray any emotions he said:
"You look stunning Rukia" he said "you make the Kuchiki family proud."
Hisana gaped at Byakuya's words, she wasn't expecting that.
"Oh no!" Riruka said to Rukia "you better hold back those tears! I'm not applying makeup to your face again!"
Hisana laughed while running towards Riruka's aid.
Ichigo had zero motivation to go to the dance.
He was sitting on his living room, already wearing his black suit, sulking. He was waiting for Yui, he had told her how they should meet at the school because it was easier, considering how Ichigo didn't have a car. Unfortunately, she told him how it didn't matter, her dad was going to lend her his car so she would pick Ichigo.
Ichigo had tried, several times, to refuse but she didn't let him.
The girl had invited him to the dance and now the same girl was going to pick him up, his manly ego was officially crushed.
"Why the long face?" Karin asked while standing in front of him "dances can't be that bad Ichi-nii."
Ichigo sighed.
"That's true" Yuzu said while stepping into the living room "you should be excited!"
He tried not to frown at his little sisters; he didn't tell them that his date was no longer Rukia, first of all because Karin would kick him and Yuzu would cry, so he kept the information a secret. He just hoped that they could go and mind their own business before Yui appeared.
But this was Ichigo and luck was never on his side, so right at that moment someone rang the doorbell.
"Is Rukia-chan going to pick you up?" Karin asked frowning.
"I'll go!" Yuzu said "I want to see her dress!"
"Wait! I want to see her too!" Karin said and both sisters ran towards the door.
Ichigo gulped.
This wasn't good.
When the door was opened, Yui was expecting to see Ichigo ready to kiss her hand and compliment her dress, but instead, two minions appeared in front of her. The one with the brown hair was looking at her with confusion while the one with black hair was looking at her dress with a disgusted expression on her face. Yui frowned, these were probably Ichigo's sisters.
"Hi" Yui said awkwardly, she wasn't good handling little girls.
"Hi" Yuzu said, still confused "who are you?"
"I believe that the question would be… what are you doing here? The clinic closed hours ago." Karin said.
Yuzu turned to look alarmed at her sister, if this was really a client, that wasn't the right way to talk to her.
"Well…" Yui said "I'm here to pick up my date."
"Wrong address." Karin said and closed the door on her face.
"Karin-chan!" Yuzu said "that was rude!"
Karin shrugged.
"What's going on here?" Ichigo asked approaching his sisters "who was it?"
Karin glared at Ichigo.
"No one" she said "a girl with a ridiculous dress who got the wrong address."
Ichigo scratched the back of his head, he knew that this would happen. Without even explaining anything to his sisters he opened the door.
He understood then why Karin didn't like Yui's appearance.
She was wearing a short, pink frilly dress, with a black waistband and white high heels. Ichigo didn't like to judge girls because of their outfits but Yui looked tacky, he could already picture Yumichika's comments about her in the gossip column, her long hair was falling in cascades down her back. He sighed heavily, it was going to be a long night.
"Hi, Yui." Ichigo greeted, emotionless.
Yui flashed him with her most amazing smile.
"Hi Ichigo!" she said happily "are you ready?! You look really handsome!"
"Thanks" he said while tucking his hands on his pockets.
Yui stood there, expecting a compliment, after five awkward seconds, when she realized that she wasn't getting any kind words from the boy in front of her, someone coughed.
"Ichi-nii" Karin said while crossing her arms "did we miss something? Weren't you going to the dance with Rukia-chan?"
Yui raised an eyebrow, apparently Ichigo hadn't told them.
"Well…" Ichigo said "I… I canceled."
Yuzu gasped and Karin gaped.
"Why would you do that?!" the twins yelled at the same time.
"It's a long story" Ichigo said "I'm going with Yui now so…"
The twins turned to look at Yui again, this time Karin was glaring at her with all her strength while Yuzu looked like she was about to cry. They weren't expecting this, they wanted to see Rukia and Ichigo leaving together and apparently that wasn't happening anymore. Their big brother was going with this… this… girl, she didn't even look friendly. In fact, she didn't even greet them properly. Without thinking Yuzu started to cry and ran upstairs while Karin kicked Ichigo on the shin and ran after her sister.
Ichigo wanted to go upstairs and explain them but Yui grabbed his hand.
"Come on Ichigo" Yui said "they'll be fine."
Ichigo sighed.
He knew that they would be fine, he just didn't expect them to be so disappointed, he let himself being dragged by Yui towards the car.
He was regretting leaving home already.
"Okay" Riruka said "everyone is in position… now we just have to get there."
Rukia sighed while looking out of the car's window; she felt comfortable and pretty wearing her dress but still she didn't feel ready to see everyone at the dance. The chauffer, under Byakuya's orders, promised to be parked outside in case of emergency, or in case Rukia wanted to go back early. Either way, she was grateful for that.
"There's no need to worry" Riruka insisted "everything will turn out okay."
Rukia nodded, while she wasn't sure about what Riruka had planned, she was determined to have fun. Yui was not going to ruin her night, no matter what, besides her sister and Riruka had put so much effort in getting her into the dress, she couldn't let everything go to waste.
She was about to tell Riruka how she shouldn't worry too much when her cellphone rang.
"It's probably Tatsuki" Riruka said and Rukia answered.
"Hello?" she said.
"Rukia-chan! What happened?!" the person at the other side of the line asked and Rukia gasped, it was Karin "why is my brother going to the dance with a slut?!"
"Karin-chan! That's rude!" Rukia heard Yuzu yelling at the other side of the line "tell Rukia-chan I say hi!"
Rukia smiled fondly.
"Karin" the raven haired girl said "you should listen to Yuzu, it's rude to call people that."
Rukia heard Karin huffing and she could picture perfectly her angry expression.
"Well, I don't care!" Karin said "why aren't you his date?!"
Rukia sighed.
"It's hard to explain" she said "but…
"You better make him regret it" Karin said interrupting her "you have to make him see what is in front of him! Fuck!"
"Karin language!" Rukia said and apparently she yelled at the same time as Yuzu.
"Promise me Rukia-chan! Promise me that you'll torture him tonight!" Karin said.
"Karin…" Rukia said amused "we're talking about your brother here."
"I'm not talking in the literal sense of the word…" Karin excused herself.
Rukia laughed, she really loved the Kurosaki sisters.
"I promise you" Rukia said "he'll regret it."
"YES!" Karin yelled and then Yuzu grabbed the phone.
"Rukia-chan" Yuzu greeted "you'll come the next Friday to watch Chappy with us, right?"
Rukia's smile couldn't get any wider.
"Of course, I'll be there."
The twins exchanged goodbyes with her and she hung up, somehow, that call was the motivation she needed to enjoy her time in the spotlight at the dance.
Saturday night.
Ten O'clock.
Matsumoto Rangiku smiled.
The dance was everything she expected it to be, the students were drinking punch and her eyes were getting lost in the sea of dresses and people, everyone was having fun. Well, almost everyone, she had seen Kurosaki Ichigo drinking a lot of punch, while avoiding, by all means, to dance with his date. Apparently the boy didn't want to come.
Well, she hoped that he would loosen up later.
She scanned the crowd again and saw, with satisfaction, how Shiba Kaien was kissing playfully his girlfriend in the middle of the dancefloor, close to them Abarai Renji was smiling at his date, apparently they were caught up in the conversation rather than dancing, either way they looked happy and comfortable with each other.
Ishida Uryuu and Orihime were holding hands while smiling at each other near the snacks table, Rangiku smiled, they were so cute together!
"Up until now…" someone said standing next to Rangiku "nothing interested has happened."
It was Yumichika, he was looking handsome as always, but he looked extremely bored.
"Oh" Rangiku said "you just have to pay attention, besides, the chaperones are part of the board of directors, no one is stupid enough to get into trouble here."
Yumichika nodded at that.
He had seen the purple haired woman with tan skin and a cat like grin talking with the blonde guy, who was using a hideous hat, he obviously knew who they were, and he couldn't hide the surprise when he noticed that those were the chosen chaperones. Shihoin Yoruichi and Kisuke Urahara.
Seriously, what was the old man Yamamoto thinking?
Either way, Yumichika still didn't have enough juicy material to write.
"Look!" Matsumoto said while pointing at the crow "Chad arrived!"
Yumichika rolled his eyes.
"What about it?" he asked uninterested "the guy doesn't even talk."
"He has a date!" Matsumoto said excitedly and Yumichika's eyes widened.
He followed Matumoto's eyes and yep, there couldn't be a mistake, Chad was there and holding hands with… Amy?! The chubby blond girl was dating Chad?! What the actual fuck?!
"Am I seeing things?!" Yumichika asked alarmed.
"No, you're not!" Matsumoto said "how cute!"
"Talking about cute…" Yumichika said "look who's arriving just now."
Matsumoto looked at the entrance of the gym and gasped, Hitsugaya and Hinamori were entering and the brown haired girl was laughing, she looked gorgeous with a light blue short classy dress and black high heels.
"The captain doesn't look bad with that suit" Yumichika said "I'll put them on the poll of best couples of the night."
Matsumoto nodded enthusiastically, she was totally going to vote for them.
Rita frowned and observed how Kurosaki ignored all of Yui's attempts at dancing with him, she chuckled, finding the situation super fun. She really couldn't blame the boy, not only Yui was sort of annoying but her dress was the worst, what possessed her to wear that in the first place? Looking around, she noticed how almost everyone was having fun, yet, nothing worth mentioning was happening.
The boys who didn't have a date like, Izuru Kira, Hisagi Shuuhei, Madarame Ikkaku and some others were sharing jokes and pranks on the dance floor, apparently they didn't mind being single. While the couples, except for Yui and Ichigo, were dancing without a care in the whole damn world.
Even Amy seemed to be having fun with Chad.
Rita sighed, she didn't have a date, and while she was a little offended by that she decided not to spoil her mood with depressing thoughts. Smirking, she took out of her purse a tiny bottle and when she saw that no one was looking at her she spilled it all over the punch.
The fun needed to start at some point.
From: Riruka
To: Ass kickers
"We're inside, cameras ready?"
From: Orihime
To: Ass Kickers
"I'm ready! I can't wait!"
From: Tatsuki
To: Ass Kickers
"Hurry the fuck up, I can't wait and Renji is asking what I'm so excited about."
From: Rukia
To: Ass Kickers
"I'm going to throw up."
"So, you're not having fun uh?" Yui asked at Ichigo.
Ichigo sighed as he looked at the brunette. He didn't want to be rude, really, but he wasn't feeling well, not only he was wondering how his sisters were handling the revelation of his date, he was seeing his friends having fun and while, yeah, he greeted all of them casually, he couldn't but to feel a little bit jealous. They had chosen their dates wisely, thinking about his feelings and all of that emotional bullshit, while his own rage and jealousy made him let down the only girl he wanted to dance with.
Talking about the midget…
Where in the fuck was she? Wasn't she going to come? She had promised him a dance and he was, although he tried to hide it, waiting for it. He noticed how Riruka was also nowhere to be seen. The dance had started almost an hour ago.
"Well, I don't dance very well…" Ichigo said to Yui "I don't want you to make you feel uncomfortable."
Yui sighed.
She wasn't feeling uncomfortable, she just wanted to find something, anything, to make the boy notice her and steal him definitely from Kuchiki Rukia, but it was useless, even now Yui could tell how he was thinking about her.
"There's…" Yui was about to say but in that moment the lights of the whole gym went off.
Someone yelled while others cheered, suddenly a reflector lighted a spot at the top of the gym stairs, everyone turned to look there.
Much to Yui's dismay, Riruka Dokugamine appeared, dressed up as a boy, Yui huffed with jealousy, how could she look so good and classy while wearing a suit? She could even see that it was an expensive one.
The music stopped and Riruka grinned.
"Hello, ladies and gentleman" she said "don't mind me, I just wanted to make a grand entrance with my date" she said smugly and Yui observed how the pink haired girl looked straight at Ichigo "once we descend the stairs you can continue with whatever you were doing."
It was then when it happened.
Kuchiki Rukia stood next to Riruka in all glory, looking like a queen.
Her dress was a breathtaking white Grecian style long halter gown, it was a long sleeveless V-neck dress with bold golden bands showcasing her glowing open back and plunging neckline, it was one of a kind dress and it was gathered at the golden banded natural waist, it also had a thigh side slit that revealed her legs. Her hair was tied in a messy bun that somehow looked extremely classy.
Yui's mouth dropped open with shock.
Ichigo's eyes widened the moment he saw her and his breath was knocked out of him, he couldn't even believe it. She looked gorgeous, stunning and breathtaking, she was the epitome of all the beautiful things on the whole wide fucking world. He was speechless, his palms started to sweat and right at that moment he couldn't help but compare her to the moon.
She was the white moon that came in time to illuminate his whole night.
She looked like a Princess… hell no, more than that, she looked like a queen.
His queen.
He didn't even register his own moves but when she started to descend the stairs along with Riruka, he started to walk, he wanted, no, he needed to be the first one to dance with her, he wanted to tell her how amazing she looked. Ichigo could swear that he heard Yui calling him but he ignored her.
Kuchiki Rukia had won, in a matter of seconds, his undivided attention.
"I hate you" Rukia whispered to Riruka as they came down with all the looks on her "I'll kill you."
"Shut up" Riruka whispered back "everything is going according to the plan."
When they finished descending the stairs the lights and the music went back to normal and everyone started to chat and dance again, but this time, several boys who didn't have a couple, tried to talk with Rukia. Luckily, one of Riruka's death glares was enough to send them away.
Rukia was about to go and greet Tatsuki and Renji, when Ichigo stepped in front of her.
She gasped.
He looked deadly handsome wearing a suit.
"Midget" he greeted "it's good to see you."
Rukia smiled.
"I wish I could say the same…" she said "but your hair along with these lights it's awfully striking."
Ichigo chuckled and leaned down, Rukia's eyes widened.
"You look so gorgeous." He whispered on her ear and Rukia could feel herself blushing.
Riruka grinned and left the two lovebirds alone, Yui was approaching dangerously so without wasting time, Riruka intercepted her.
"Get out of my way" Yui said.
Riruka could tell how angry she was.
"No, I'm afraid I can't do that" Riruka said "come with me" she added while grabbing her arm forcefully "we need to go to the bathroom."
"What?! No!"
Luckily, Riruka was stronger than Yui, so she dragged her to the bathroom quite easily. In a matter of seconds Tatsuki followed them and Riruka grinned. This was the second part of the plan.
"What are you doing?!" Yui asked scared when Tatsuki closed the bathroom door.
"We seriously want to stop bullying you…" Riruka said although her face didn't show regret "but Rukia wanted a truce and you declared war!"
Yui frowned.
"Kuchiki Rukia is a bitch and she deserves whatever I throw at her!" she said fiercely.
Tatsuki sighed.
"Listen, we're here just to make you a question" she said "are you going to give up in getting between Ichigo and Rukia?!"
Yui clenched her fists.
"Never!" she answered.
Riruka nodded.
"Then you leave us without a choice." She said and Tatsuki took out of her purse a rope, how in the world did something like that fit inside the tiny purse?
"What are you going to do with that?" Yui asked taking a few steps back, scared.
"We need you out of our way tonight" Riruka said with a mean smirk "I wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not."
Riruka then grabbed Yui and Tatsuki started to tie her, they knew it was a matter of time before Rita started to look for her so they weren't worried about her wellbeing. They both knew that she was going to seek her revenge later and they would be ready.
Rita was shocked, to say the least, how did they manage such a perfect entrance? Where in hell Kuchiki Rukia bought her dress and where the fuck was Yui? Ichigo was dancing, fucking dancing, with Kuchiki and she was nowhere to be seen! Was she stupid?!
Without further thoughts she started to search, they couldn't let these losers win.
"Where's your date?" Rukia asked as Ichigo put a hand on her waist, ready to start dancing.
"What?" he asked feigning innocence "I thought you were my date."
Rukia pouted and Ichigo wondered if her lips had always looked that delicious…
"Where's Yui?" Rukia asked "I haven't forgotten that you came with her."
Ichigo shrugged.
"Well…" he said "who cares? I wanted to come with you."
Rukia smirked.
"Fine" she said "but you still owe me a Chappy plushie."
Ichigo chuckled.
He was totally going to buy one for her later.
"You girls are certainly evil" Renji said as Riruka and Tatsuki came out of the bathroom "is she going to be okay?" he asked.
"Yui?" Tatsuki asked "obviously, that bitch is hard to kill."
Riruka nodded agreeing with Tatsuki.
"Excuse me lovebirds" the pink haired girl said "but I promised Hisana-san that I was going to record all of this."
After saying that she took out her cellphone and walked towards the dancefloor.
Rukia couldn't believe how smoothly everything was going, she was enjoying being in Ichigo's arms, twirling around like crazy, the dress allowed her to move around easily and she was getting dizzy with happiness, the lights and the music were perfect. She looked to her side and watched, amused, as Riruka took pictures of the whole thing. She smiled at her, Rukia added to her mental list of "things to do" to thank Riruka later, she was the master mind behind all of this after all.
"You look happy" Ichigo said as he pulled her closer to him.
She blushed.
"I am" she said "you are not a bad dancer, carrot top."
He smiled smugly at her.
"You're not half bad either" he said jokingly and Rukia rolled her eyes.
Someone gasped between the crowd but Rukia couldn't care less, she was in her own personal bubble of happiness, unfortunately everything stopped when someone tapped Ichigo's shoulder. Due to her height she couldn't see who the intruder was but when Ichigo turned to look at the person behind him, his hold on Rukia got tighter.
She frowned and separated a little from Ichigo so she could see whoever interrupted them and when she did, she couldn't help but to gasped surprised.
Grimmjow was there, wearing a formal black suit, smiling at her.
"You look gorgeous, Princess" he said and Rukia could swear that Ichigo growled, she couldn't be sure "now, I believe it's time for you to go back with your date Kurosaki" Grimmjow continued and winked at Rukia "I'm dying to dance with the Princess, right now."
Rukia smiled, completely unaware of the tension between Ichigo and Grimmjow.
Am I the only one who, for some strange reason, was super excited at the end of this chapter?
Let me know.
You all voted and white won for our queen so a white dress it is, it suits her, don't you think?! THE DRESS RUKIA WAS WEARING IS THE SAME DRESS THAT TAYLOR SWIFT WORE AT THE RED CARPET OF THE 2013 GRAMMYS! Just write on google "Grammys 2013 Taylor Swift" and you'll see (don't hate me for loving Taylor, okay?)
Now, as I said before; I apologize if I couldn't describe the dresses really well. Some vocabulary does not come so easily to me but I tried, okay?!
HOLY CRAP GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEWS FAVS AND FOLLOWS! If it wasn't for those I wouldn't write, honestly.
Something is wrong with the internet at my home so it took me a while to upload this and it took at least two plates of Chinese food, lots of soda and a little screaming at my computer to get this chapter done. So I would really appreciate if you could tell me what you think and which was your favorite part. Personally, my fav one of this chapter were Byakuya and Riruka but that's me so let me know.
