After Rukia and Ichigo made it back to the apartment, she had Ichigo attempt to fix the door since he was the one that broke it in the first place. As Ichigo was going through the materials Renji was observing and constantly critiquing Ichigo. "Those are the old screws, don't mix the old with the new," commented Renji.

"If you know how it goes then you do it!" Ichigo snapped as he had enough of Renji's input.

"Hell no! You broke my door so you're gonna fix it."

"That's what I'm trying to do! But I can't do it with you constantly breathing down my neck!"

"I wouldn't be telling you what to do if you were doing it right!" Renji and Ichigo were now in an intense glaring contest.

"Just get a room already," Rukia said as she closed the front door.

"What the? How?" asked Ichigo.

"When?" asked Renji.

"It wasn't that hard. Just had to change some of the screws. I did it while you two were flirting with each other. Now that it's done, Renji's room is that way," Rukia joked as she pointed to the closed door that was in fact Renji's room.

"What the fuck?! Don't tell him where my room is! He looks like the stalker type," joked Renji. Leaving Ichigo with mouth agape. "I'm just fuckin' with you kid, c'mon," Renji finished as he lightly punched Ichigo's arm and followed Rukia to the living room.

Ichigo's brows furrowed in irritation and he asked, "What is it with you two calling people kids?"

"I blame Rukia. She looks like a kid, so I assume everyone she hangs out with is a kid," joked Renji. Rukia gave Renji a quick jab to the stomach causing Renji to yell "Shit!"

"That's what you get for being an inconsiderate ass!" commented Rukia.

This caused Ichigo to laugh and say, "Just glad it's not me getting punched this time."

As Renji rubbed his now sore stomach he said, "I don't know why I always forget she has super human strength."

"You're telling me! I never would have guessed someone so small-" Ichigo was cut off as Rukia also punched him for calling her small "-could be so strong," he finished with a strained voice.

"You idiots are just gluttons for punishment," finished Rukia.
