fas;dlhkgsgipor THE REAL CHAPTER FIVE.
If you read my other author's note. This chapter got deleted along with another one, so that chapter 5 is actually 7. Why did I upload it? Don't ask.
"What's America like?" , Tatsuki asked as she, Orihime and Rukia walked around the neighborhood.
"The area where I'm from...it's a lot like the crowded area of Tokyo." , Rukia answered.
"Where's that?" , Orihime, joining their conversation.
"New York." , the raven-haired girl answered.
"Oooh, I heard that place has some of the tallest buildings!"
"Sure does." Rukia said and gave a soft smile.
"What kind of house did you live in?" , Tatsuki started, asking more questions.
"Well, most of the time, it's just me and my brother...Or just me. So huge space isn't quite needed. So we live in these apartment the size of houses. When you step into of one of those apartments, it looks like those mansion you see on TV."
"Woah, apartments that large!" , Orihime started.
"-and they look that fancy?" , Tatsuki said after the orange head girl.
"Yup."
"Do you have those paintings?"
"Paintings?" Rukia gave questioning look at the orange-head.
"Yeah, like those portraits!"
"Oh... Yes, we do."
"Do you sometime feel like the eyes are moving! Like, in those movies where people have slots behind the eyes and peek at you!" Orihime tried making her point by putting her fingers in circular shapes and placing them on her eyes before leering back and forth.
"...O-Or-Orihime.." Tatsuki started, a bit scared.
Rukia sweatdropped before shaking her head.
"This is Ichigo's house, by the way." , Tatsuki pointed at a light yellow house with white frames. Then a little pebble was seen bouncing off a window. Rukia and Tatsuki looked down back to their eyesight level and looked over at Orihime.
"Why...did..you throw a stone..at his house..?" Tatsuki asked slowly.
"I wanted him to come out!" Orihime smiled before tossing another one. That time, the window open and Ichigo stuck out his head.
"What do you wa-" , he started to yell down before a little stone hit his head. "ALRIGHT, WHO THREW THAT?"
"Hey, Kurosaki-kun! Want to come hang out with us?" , Orihime invited him.
"W-w-what!" , Tatsuki started, "Orihime!"
"No thanks" , came the male voice. Tatsuki sighed in relief.
Orihime, however, made a face. Then she walked up to the door and and rang the doorbell.
"HELLO THERE!" , came an older male voice. "Oh! Aren't you one of Ichigo's classmates!"
"Yahuhs!" , Orihime said cutely and made a peace sign. Tatsuki sighed and Rukia blinked, being hidden by those few girls. "Kurosaki-kun promised us to take out, but he got lazy, can you call him down for us?"
"..MY SON IS DATING NOT ONE, BUT TW-..What's this? Another one? She's rather small, BUT WHO CARES, THREE LADIES. FOR THE WIN! Alright cuties, just wait." Isshin said before running upstairs.
"WHAT!"
"C'MON, DON'T BE SHY!"
"SHE LIED! I PROMISED NOTHING!"
"DON'T! BE! SHY!"
Screaming voices were heard from upstairs. The three girls gave each other strange looks when Ichigo was found rolling down the stairs.
"... Ready?" , Orihime asked, smiling.
"I SAID I AIN'T GOIN' NO WHERE!"
"YOU'RE GOING!" , with that, Isshin kicked his son out of the house. Ichigo turned back and started banging on the door.
"YOU LET ME IN NOW!" Ichigo screamed loudly while banging against the door.
"Looks like you have no choice but to come with us!"
Ichigo sighed. He knew he didn't. So instead of being stupid and sulking around, he went with the three girls.
"Where are we going?" , the annoyed boy asked.
"We're going to go eat!" Orihime smiled. Tatsuki sighed and Rukia blinked again.
"Where?" , Rukia asked, looking over at Orihime.
"This little sweets place. Best sweets ever!". Orihime smiled.
"I'm afraid.." , Tatsuki started giving Orihime a little look.
Not long later, they reach Honey Cafe. Rukia and Ichigo both got strawberry smoothies and Tatsuki took a honey dew drink. Orihime however.. asked for a chocolate milkshake with pineapple fruit sauce and soy sauce. The girl serving them stared at Orihime before starting on her order, muttering about the mainstream and kids with their weird taste.
Everyone was quietly drinking their blended drinks. Orihime looked up from hers and eyed everyone.
"Tatsuki!"
"What is it, Orihime?"
"Wanna...go...get something to eat? Lets go back in line!"
"..U-uh..sure."
"Whatcha want Ichigo, Rukia?"
"Nothing." , the male said rudely.
"Yeah, same, I'm not hungry." , Rukia gave a small smile.
"Why couldn't you go with Rukia?" Tatsuki asked when they were in line.
"Becaaaause..." Orihime started.
"Because...?"
"On the night of the dance, I was looking for those two. But I saw Rukia walking out of the club, she was talking to Ichigo when they walked off somewhere. Then...I don't know.. She looked awfully comfortable on him. So I wanna see what they'll do!"
"..ON HIM? ON HIM? ON HIM!" Tatsuki loudly whispered, growing louder each time she repeated herself. Orihime didn't know what Tatsuki was pointing at, so she just nodded. Tatsuki was furious and marched up to their table. "ICHIGO, YOU SICK PEICE OF..ARRRGE.. WHAT KIND OF DIRTY, SICK THINGS ARE YOU DOING TO RUKIA?"
"WHAT!" , Ichigo spit out his drink and stood up. Rukia said nothing.
"SHE WAS ON YOU! SHE WAS TOTALLY ON YOU! DID YOU GIVE HER SOME SLEEPING PILLS OR SOMETHING!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
"TH-" , Orihime went over and clasp her hand over Tatsuki's mouth.
"Ehehe..." , Orihime smiled before dragging her friend back in line.
"What was that...about..?"
"Whatever, she's crazy. Always has been." Ichigo said, cleaning up his mess.
Rukia watched him for a while. Then he looked up at her and stared back. After a few seconds, she jerked her head to the other side. 'I've been kind of.. not uncomfortable...but feeling quite strange around him since that incident at the pond...' She thought to herself. 'Its not a crush...is it...? No.. No! Kuchiki Rukia doesn't have crushes. Not possible.' She began to smack her head.
"What are you doing..?"
"…"
"Queer."
"Shut up!" The raven haired-girl glared at him.
Ichigo smirked and shook his head.
