Hello, I'm back with the next Chapter. Chapter 5/Prompt 5: Strip-Poker.
I'm sorry I took so long to update. I was very busy with personal things, apartment repairs, and somewhere down all that bs...I ended up in the hospital due to exposure to chemical poisons, and I had a temp of 102, still recovering, but enough about me, onto this chapter.

Chapter 5/Prompt 5: Strip-Poker

"We are doing it my way Grimmjow..." Rukia replied, rather annoyed by the cheater in front of her.

"What?! With this ESP bullshit?!" Grimmjow growled.

"It's not bullshit. It's a simpler way of not having you cheat your way in this game. I refuse to play this grotesque game and "lose", because of your tricks..." Rukia replied with emphasis, while shuffling her deck briskly.

"Sounds like a soar loser complaining and making excuses to me..." Grimmjow grinned, while rolling his eyes.

Rukia stopped shuffling briskly and her eyes told Grimmjow that she was not pleased with his sarcasm, or his continuous bullshit.

To Kuchiki Rukia, he should be grateful that she even considered this game, the rules, and the possible outcome of it's prizes...

It all started with Grimmjow causing problems in school again. Typical. Yet again, bullying another bystander, during another one of his fights with Kurosaki Ichigo. Hanataro. While Hanataro was very timid, fragile looking, and scared half of the time, he had a brave side to him too, and he wouldn't back down to helping Ichigo if he was ever in trouble physically. This gained Rukia and many other's respect for the sensitive boy.

Grimmjow loved a challenge, anything to dominate another into place. Under him.

Rukia Kuchiki was not having it.

She interfered in the fight, causing Grimmjow to remember the humiliation she made him go through a couple of weeks ago...

This was all because she refused to play strip-poker with him in a party and revealed to others how he cheated with extra cards up his sleeve. She humiliated him and he wanted payback. He wanted to play with her fair and square, show her that he could beat her.

When he won, Grimmjow planned to humiliate her in a live feed, broadcasted by the school news, showing her fully stripped and declaring herself his girlfriend and the loser of their game, all while apologizing on "setting him up" at that party as a cheater. The little witch...

Here Rukia was, trying to preserve not only her honor, but both Ichigo's and Hanataro's, much to Ichigo's protest...

"If looks could kill, let's get this shit show done and over with. Fine, will play your way. I won't lose to you shrimp." Grimmjow teased.

"Really? You sound like a scared lamb to me." Rukia perked with a smile as she started to "wash" the deck on the table.

The rules were very simple, they were simply trying to match two cards by guessing where it's partner was, once they selected their first card. The chips were a symbol of each clothing item they both have.

Right away, the whole school saw the live feed. It was a hacked attempt to put Kuchiki Rukia to shame, and Yamamoto, the Principle was not pleased... All four of his Vice Principles by his side, showing different feelings for the exposure of two students reckless behaviors. Unohana both intrigued and calm, Ukitake concerned for his honor student putting herself through this, Sasakibe just as displeased as Yamamoto, Shunsui was both intrigued and amused...

Sasakibe's student class representative, Soi Fon, also displeased with the feed and Grimmjow...

"Go ahead, lead the way Princess Kuchiki." Grimmjow trailed off.

"My! What a gentlemen you are today Mr. Jaegerjaques!" Rukia sarcastically gasped in response.

"Oh fucking please. The pray always runs ahead. I'm letting you catch up." Grimmjow replied back nonchalantly.

Rukia rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed by his lack of a good show of act. Here she was trying to make him look like a "gentlemen" and he was squandering it, instead of taking advantage of it. Leave it to him for being such an idiot. Looking at the cards, Rukia flipped up her first card. It had a drawing made by her of Chappy's head. Rukia was proud of her custom made cards, designed by her, Grimmjow wasn't impressed, as he snorted annoyingly by the girl's childish antics, that he found incredibly cute, even tho he'd never admit to it in public.

Rukia smiled, as she flipped another card up, another Chappy head. The first win was her own.

"Beginners luck." Grimmjow snorted, with a half laugh.

"Oh? Well, guess it's your turn King." Rukia half gagged sarcastically.

Grimmjow flipped a card up, revealing a Hollow, only to flip a second card up and get a King Kon. Grimmjow grimaced at his reveal of cards and slammed his hand on the table. Making Rukia cover the cards from flying all over the place.

"Well, guess your a Fool, instead of a King, for jumping so fast, without relying on your gut instincts." Rukia smiled mischievously.

"Well, let's see what you got Mr. Hotshot." Rukia teased.

"Whatever, I'm not afraid to show skin, like you will Kuchiki, so prepare to lose this battle, apologize, make things right, and be mine..." Grimmjow grinned.

Grimmjow smiled, as he stood up and stripped off his shirt, to reveal a chiseled perfection of his chest and torso, making Rukia gulp mentally, as she looked away. Not making eye contact, afraid to boost his ego further.

"Like what you see Kuchiki Rukia?" Grimmjow asked, while taking his seat back into the game.

"That bastard!" Ichigo fumed in the halls of the school, as the school news crew was trying to find a way to get rid of the hacked live broadcast.

"Hmnp. Not a big deal at all." Rukia sneered.

"This bitch..." Grimmjow growled, trying to get his head back in the game.

Rukia yet again matched two cards. Ambassador Seaweed, with it's matching twin. Something Byakuya can at least be "proud" of... Rukia thought with dismay. Just wishful thinking on her part...really...

Grimmjow grinned, matching a pair of Moons in the desert night, making Rukia sneer with disgust.

It was Rukia's turn and she got a Silver snake card, following that, Rukia flipped her next card, at an attempt to match the snake in her hand, instead she got the butterfly king...

"Ha! Start stripping shrimp! Your shirt." Grimmjow laughed with malice in his tone.

Rukia did not want to go through with it, but she would shame the family more if she didn't follow through with her lady's oath... She sighed and got up to give Grimmjow a clear view, as she too stripped off her shirt. Revealing a lacy, magenta bra on. Rukia's bare skin looked eatable to Grimmjow and he quickly noticed the gleam of sweat drip down Rukia's small, delicious breasts, giving her chest a shine like appearance.

"Ha, nervous? Well guess what, get more timid, because you will have to take that bra off. I don't wear that sort of thing. You have extra coverage, it's not fair to me, so take it off!" Grimmjow said, while laughing at Rukia's shocked features.

"I will not do that! It's not my fault you didn't have a tank top under your shirt! How am I supposed to play, while covering my chest?! That isn't fair!" Rukia yelled at a now grinning Grimmjow.

"Well it's not fair for me! I don't have extra layers like you." Grimmjow replied.

"Fine you animal. Cry baby. I'll do it because I'm a woman of my word. A Kuchiki." Rukia declared annoyed.

"Insults won't help you princess..." Grimmjow smiled while leaning back in his seat to get a better look.

"No...Rukia..." Hanataro dreaded, as he watched the live broadcast in dismay.

Just as Rukia was about to give in to Grimmjow's demand, the door to where the pair were hiding slid open. To reveal Hiyori, Rukia's best friend. Rukia didn't expect to be located so easily. They were hiding in an abandoned house that was going through repairs, but for some reason was left unfinished.

"How... How did you find me Hiyori?" Rukia stuttered.

"Ha! You think I don't know how you think Rukia? I knew something was fucking iffy as hell when I saw you come in here with this loser. Plus that live feed. I did some digging around." Hiyori gestured without a care towards Grimmjow.

"Why you fucking little..." Grimmjow trailed off, until Hiyori punched him in his face.

Stumbling from his seat, Grimmjow got up fuming at the blond. Readying himself for a fight, when Rukia intervened between them. "No you guys! Stop." Rukia interfered.

"Huuuhhh...! You want me to stop?! This loser is clearly making a mockery out of you in public. What's the point in keeping your word?!" Hiyori revealed again.

Rukia taking aback by this sudden news glared at Grimmjow.
"You mean to tell me... That you been humiliating me in public much earlier into the game? When you told me it would only be a public humiliation if I lost to you..? Am I a show to you Grimmjow? WELL?!" Rukia fumed, as she tightly balled up her fists.

Grimmjow took a second to think things through. Sure he broke one rule. Set up Rukia's private hangout with her friends, to capture a live feed to entertain the idea of this match, but for the life of him, he could not figure out why these broads were taking this so serious. As long as he wasn't forcing Rukia into a relationship, he didn't see the problem with it...He'd soon learn his mistake tho...

All of Grimmjow's thoughts went blank, as he collided with a wall near by.
He had been punched in the face by two small fist. Rukia's and Hiyori's. Glaring at both girls, who had so much force, so much bite to them, he stood his ground. "What the fuck is it with you two?! Huh?" Grimmjow spat up a little bit of blood.

"Just when I thought you couldn't be more of a cheater. You go agaisnt even your own rules. Of course I have every right to be angry with you. Having faith in you and trying to make a decent man out of you was wishful thinking on my part, and I'm just as big a loser as you for believing in you for once." Rukia yelled, clearly disappointed in herself.

"You really need more work on yourself Kuchiki." Hiyori added, putting a hand on Rukia's shoulder, while handing her shirt back with her other hand.

"I do, thanks Hiyori. We should get back to school..." Rukia replied.

"The old man will ring out your ear, but sure, let's go, even tho we could skip..." Hiyori suggested, while heading ahead first. "See you outside Rukia." Hiyori added.

Hiyori heading off first, made Rukia want to turn her heal and follow, but the questioned still burned and lingered in her chest...

"Why? Why? Do all this? You knew someone was bound to come get me if they saw your live feed. I know it wasn't just for entertainment. So what's your motive Grimmjow?" Rukia asked, a bit confused by the blue haired boy's agenda.

Grimmjow huffed annoyed, looking towards the window on his left. His breathing now calm. "Isn't it because I'm a cheater?" Grimmjow asked sarcastically.

At this, Rukia felt even more annoyed, as she turned to just walk away from this creep.

"I did all this cause I like you. Your arrogance, your pride, your resolve. I was bored. There's a lot of reasons, but I'll be sure to play fair next time..." Grimmjow replied nonchalantly. A slight smile perking at the ends of his mouth.

Rukia taking aback by Grimmjow's answer, was about to reply back, but could hear Hiyori complaining about dragging her out if she didn't hurry.

As Rukia was about to take her leave, shouting back to Hiyori that she's coming, she looked towards Grimmjow, looking at the outlines of his jaw tattoo, as she smiled to herself.

"Just play fair with me next time..." Rukia whispered back to Grimmjow, as a small hope filled in his cerulean eyes for a brief second as she said those parting words to him.

"Alright." Was all Grimmjow said, as he watched Rukia Kuchiki take her leave.

End.
This was tough for me to write. I had no idea where I was going with this, but I like the outcome. I'd be even one day... be willing to write a sequel to this, but maybe for another time. Not now...Maybe even draw it as a comic. I'm an artist too for those who don't know. (Shrugs) I hope you all like it as much as I do. It's not great, but it's an outcome I can stand by. :) Chapter 6/Prompt 6 will be "Hike". Thank you Cha for all your prompts. Keep them coming. :) Hello pixerletter, welcome. I'm glad you love these one-shots. ^_^ Feel free to prompt me with any suggestions and sorry for taking long. I needed to feel better to bring you guys content. :) Until next time. :)
