Chapter 9! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please review. It means a lot to me
Ichigo's POV
I watch as Rukia walks out of her class. "Hey Rukia, how did it go?"
"I slept through the whole lesson," she replies as she gazes down, "Hey, it's okay, we'll probably see Yoruichi later," I say to attempt to lighten the mood.
"You wanna get some lunch?"
We begin to walk out of the building.
"Sure! What should we get?" Rukia asks excitedly.
"How about some Ramen? There's a place not far from here."
"Let's go then!" She says as she tugs me forward.
"Okay, okay," I say while laughing, "it's this way."
I tug Rukia down the street until we come to a small ramen shop and step inside.
"Hello 2?" Asks the waitress.
"Yes"
"Right this way," she says as she leads us to a corner table." I will be right back."
Rukia and I glance at the menu.
"I want the miso ramen," Rukia says after a moment.
"Okay, I think I'll get the same."
Once the waitress returns, I tell her what we want. We thank her as she rushes off to put our order in.
"So I talked to your brother earlier. He said he would be here this evening around 9."
"Oh, okay, I'm sure he wants to talk with the other Captains."
"Yeah, that's what he told me."
After 10 minutes of just chatting about anything and everything, mostly Chappy.. the waitress returns with our food.
"Enjoy!" She says with a smile.
"Let's hurry so we can grocery shop before Biology," Rukia says as she eats quickly.
After we eat, we pay, then I lead her towards a small grocery store.
After we enter, we grab a basket.
"What should we get first?" I ask as we walk down the chip aisle. "Hmm, I could go for some hot Cheetos."
I stare at Rukia in confusion, "what are hot Cheetos?"
I watch as she grabs a bag of Cheetos. "They're like this, but spicy; they were my favorite snack when we lived in Oregon." She says as we walk away from the chips and walk over to the rice, she grabs a five-pound bag. "How does curry sound for dinner?" She asks as she holds a couple of curry mixes.
"Sounds good. Should I invite my sisters?"
"Yes! Of course, I'll even make cupcakes!" Rukia says with a smile as she runs to the cake mix and grabs a box of chocolate and strawberry.
I raise an eyebrow, "Are you mocking me?" I tease.
"What? Oh, of course not! I love strawberries." Rukia says as a blush rises on her face.
"Oh?" I laugh as Rukia turns redder.
"Shut up, you fool!" Rukia yells as she kicks my shin.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!!" I exclaim as I almost fall over.
We walk over to the dairy section. I grab the milk while Rukia carries the butter and eggs. I also grab strawberry Yogurt. We then walk over to the drink area and grab a couple of bottled jug water. We then go to the tea area. Rukia places Chai leaves into the basket.
What else do we need? I ask.
"Well, that thing is I don't know. Maybe we should get a few more things.
I'll ask your sister for the advice! She's a great cook. I'm sure of it!" she exclaims.
"Okay, sounds good. Maybe we should get some instant ramen."
"Great!" She says as we walk over to the soup area.
We grab a whole bunch and throw them into the basket.
We then walk over to the checkout and purchase our things.
We walk out of the shop with our bags in our hands and walk back to Campus. After five minutes, we arrived. We then walk over to our dorm building and start up the stairs.
"Hey, ichigo? Do you think my brother will treat me differently?" She asks as we make it to the third floor. I take a moment to think about it.
"I know Byakuya cares about you, Rukia, maybe, even more, this time. I think he will treat you as his little sister, so talk with him tonight." I say as we reach our floor.
I open the door and walk inside with Rukia right behind me. I then lock the door.
"Your right Ichigo," Rukia says as we both freeze as a dark and creepy Reiastu sweeps over the campus. "I'm not going to Biology."
When the energy fades, the PA system comes alive.
"Good afternoon, students! This is the university director. I'm sorry, but all other classes have been canceled due to an accident in the science hall. We will be emailing to let you know when classes will resume if you can leave the Campus, please do so. It would be a week before we can get the issue fixed." Then it's silent once again. "What the hell?! Well, let's put our food away and head straight to Kisuke's."
"I agree," Rukia says as she rushes into the kitchen and quickly puts our food away.
"Okay, let's go!"
Third-person POV
Ichigo and Rukia race out of their dorm building and head straight towards Sakura Hall. After five minutes, the pair entered the hall walking quickly to room 255.
When they enter, they notice 6 out of the 12 Captains waiting.
"Kuchiki Rukia! Kurosaki Ichigo!" Head Captain Yamamoto says when he glances at them as the two bows, respectively.
"Please Stand in the center while we wait for answers."
As the Shinigami wait, a bright white light appears in the center of the large hall.
As quickly as it appears, it dissipates to reveal a tall man who was at least 7 feet tall with white hair down to his waist, wearing blinding white robes. Everyone stares surprised the 'Man' didn't look a day over 25. "Hello, my Children, we convene at last! I had hoped that the Shinigami would be free to live everyday lives, but it seems even I, the god of destiny and time, couldn't change the fight that needs to take place," The man says, stunning everyone into silence.
"Who are you?" Asks Kisuke as he walks closer to the God of time.
Well, my Son, I am Errus, the God of Destiny and time." Errus says as he walks closer to the group when he sees Rukia and Ichigo, his eyes lit up, "Ah, the black sun and white moon."
Ichigo and Rukia stare at Errus in shock. "Huh?!" Ichigo exclaims as Rukia stands there speechless.
Errus chuckles a deep laugh. "Yes, my children; this is not the first time you've found each other at one point; I tried to separate you two, but your Destiny was too much even for me. Anyway! I'm sure you all would like to know everything that caused this"
"Yes." Everyone said together. "Very well as most of you should remember, The Soul Society was attacked by Aizen after he escaped; he rebuilt his army and took the fight to you. Many of you perished in the fight." Errus explains as he takes a clock out of his pocket, "This is the device that I used to put you all back in time. I then erased your memories."
"What happened to our Shinigami powers?" Kisuke asks, intrigued.
"You still have them. I just sealed them with your memories. If you eat a Soul candy, you will separate from your gigai's."
"What happened to the hollows?" Yamamoto asks.
"I've been taking care of the Souls before they became Hollows, and for the one from Hueco Mundo, I've been cleansing the souls. " Errus explains.
"Is there anything else?" Rukia asks as she looks at Errus. "No, my children, I have told you everything. I must go now, but I will be back before the battle. Please remain strong." Errus says as the light appears once again, taking him away.
"You heard the Man! Kisuke, you are to get everyone Soul candy and begin training as soon as possible! Dismissed!" Yamamoto orders before he and several other captains leave the room, leaving only Ukitake Kisuke and Yoruichi.
Ukitake stops next to Rukia. "Good to see you, Rukia. I trust you've been well?"
"Yes, sir!" She replies with a big smile.
"Good, I'm glad, and you, Ichigo?"
"I've been well. I'm just glad we know more now."
"Yes, me too well; I must go now. Please call me when you obtain the Soul Candy*
"Of course," Kisuke promises Ukitake before he's gone.
"Ichigo, my boy, I will call you and Rukia when I retrieve the Candy. In the meanwhile, I would go to explain everything to your friends."
"Yes, come on, Rukia, let's go see our friends," Ichigo tells Rukia as he grabs her hand and the two walk out of the hall.
"Ah, those two are so perfect together!" Yoruichi says with a cat-like grin.
"Yes, young love, I hope this time we don't fall," Kisuke says as he pulls Yoruichi to him. "Don't think I forgot about you screaming that you loved me as I died in your arms. I won't leave this time."
Rukia's POV
After we arrive back inside our apartment, I watch Ichigo pull out his phone before placing it to his ear "Hey Uryu! Listen, let's all meet at mine and Rukia's dorm. We have plenty of room for everyone. I'll even ask my sister Yuzu to come by and cook something."
Ichigo pauses for a moment before smiling. "Great, see you in an hour."
Ichigo then calls Yuzu, "Hey Yuzu, do you and Karin wanna come by the University?" It's silent for a moment.
"Great! I'll see you guys in a half hour then! It's pretty important to bring the old man."
He then hangs up and turns to me, pulling me into his lap, causing me to giggle. "My Ichigo, you're impatient," I complain before Ichigo swoops in and takes my lips in his "Don't pretend you're against it," Ichigo growls as he moves his lips to my neck and begins sucking my pulse point.
"Ahh.." I mumble, unable to think clearly.
"I waited a long time to be able to kiss and touch you like this. We won't take it far," Ichigo promises before he kisses my collar bone.
"I-Ichigo.." I breathe out as he smiles against my feverish skin.
Ichigo then claims my lips once more as he slips his tongue into my mouth. I softly moan as our tongues battle for a moment before. I pull away for air.
"Damn Rukia.. I've waited so long for that," Ichigo exclaims as he gazes into my eyes. Ichigo goes to kiss me again before his phone rings."This isn't over," he promises before answering the phone.
"Hi Yuzu...yeah, just come up to the 5th floor, room 515."
I stand up as he hangs up. "I'm going to change before your sisters get up here" I then quickly run into my bedroom.
Damn..the way he just kissed me…
I feel my skin heated as I remember the way he touched my hips as we made out. I bury my face into my hands.
Ahh! Snap out of it, Rukia!
I walk over to my dresser and pull out a pair of white cotton short shorts, and then I notice Ichigo's sweater.
Hmm...Maybe I could tease him a little.
I pull all my clothing off and slip the shorts and Ichigo's hoodie on. I glance at myself in the mirror.
Yes. This is perfect!
I slip back out of my room as Ichigo is closing the door behind his sisters. "Hey, girls!" I exclaim cheerfully.
"Rukia-Chan!" Yuzu exclaims as she runs up and hugs me.
"Yo," Karin says casually as she walks over to the sofa and sits down.
I watch Yuzu go into our kitchen. I then notice Ichigo staring at me with wide eyes. I smirk as I walk over to Karin, watching Ichigo follow my movements. I make it to the sofa and sit down.
"So, how's high school, Karin?" I ask as I turn to the seventeen-year-old.
"Good Yuzu and I are at the top of our class."
"That's amazing; I'm so proud of you girls," Ichiro exclaims as he sits close to me. I blush as I look away. Karin lifts her eyebrow. "So, Ichi? You and Rukia, Eh?" She teases as ichigo blushes bright red.
"It's none of your business Karin!" Yuzu scolds as she walks into the living room. "I'm making beef curry and rice!" She exclaims cheerfully.
"Sounds good." Ichigo and I say at the same time.
We then hear a knock on the door. "That would be our friends," Ichigo exclaims as he gets up and walks over to the door. When he opens it, he's thrown back a swift kick to the face. "My beautiful third daughter! You've come back!" Cries Isshin Kurosaki as he runs into the apartment.
