Yeah. Go ready chapter five if the one you read had a dancing scene in it. That was supposedly chapter seven. So yeah, it's a huge confusion, I'm guessing most of you haven't read the real one, so go and check if you did now!

Chapter Six

Rukia rolled over to her right. She was lying down on her bed, bored as ever.

" 6:13...and it's already dark..." , she mumbled into her pillow. Then she sat up, "A nightly walk and fresh air won't kill me." With that, she dragged herself to her feet, grabbed her shoes, and jumped out the window.

However, right below Rukia's window was Byakuya's. He walked over to the window when he saw his sister flying down it. His eyes narrowed, watching her walking off into the distance.

Hinamori was at the doorway to Byakuya's office, but she still saw Rukia jumping down. "Hmm..." , she pondered before walking off to find Hitsugaya.

"Shirou-kun...?" she asked, entering his room. "Shirou-kun?"

"Hm?"

Hinamori was startled, he was sitting in the darker corner his room. "Don't do that!"

"Do what?"

"Scare me!"

"Hn..Did'ya need something?" , he asked, standing up and walking towards her.

"W-well uh.. Well..." , she didn't know why, but now she suddenly got very nervous.

"Well?"

"Uh.. Well... Oh! Rukia-san just jumped out of her window! Do you think she'd run away?"

"From home? In Japan? We don't even live here. She doesn't exactly know where to go. Plus, she has a rich family, why would she do that?" , Toushirou answered, sounding pretty sure of himself.

"True.. But you'd think she'll use a door..."

Toushirou chuckled, "Don't you use the window sometimes too?"

"W-w-w-w-well! ...Arrge! Quiet you!" , Hinamori stammered furiously.

Toushirou laughed, "Hey, hey. I never said it was a bad thing!"

Hinamori flushed even more. She knew he was right and she made a bit of a fool out of herself. "Well! Well..."

"Fine, I'll make it up to you." , Toushirou said, still chuckling a bit.

"For what? You didn't do anything."

"For laughing at you, I guess." , he shrugged.

"Oh.. you don't have to."

"I insist."

"Well..depends...do what?"

"Well...I'll pay for an ice cream."

Hinamori smiled, "Sure."

"Okay...I'm not lost... I'm just...uh..." Rukia slowly mumbled to herself. She doesn't really know where she was. There were still people out, but she didn't want to ask anyone. Then she spotted a familiar head.

"Ichigo!" , she yelled at the man sitting on a bench. He turned his head. It was him. "Ichigo!" , she started running towards him.

"Oh, it's you." he said, before turning his head back to where it was.

Rukia huffed and took a seat next to him, "Why are you here?"

"Do you care?"

"That's why I'm asking."

Ichigo sighed then said, "I needed to get out of my house. My dad was driving me nuts."

"Oh, I see. Parents giving you trouble?"

"More like...parent... My mom died when I was young."

"Oh.. I'm sorry." , Rukia suddenly felt pretty guilty for asking.

"Nah, I can't say I'm over it, but it's not like get all emotional when I mention her."

"Well, I don't really know my parents, I lived with my brother most of my life. Where ever he goes, I go. I met my parents about.. Five? Six times in my life?"

"...And how old are you..? Eight?"

Rukia made a face, "Fourteen."

"Wow, Six times in fourteen years. I don't know if that's better or worst than my situation."

"Well, they're alive, so I'd say better."

"Hn, yeah.", he said an gave a short, small laugh. Then he leaned back against the bench and rest his head on the back of the seat. He looked up at the already night sky. "So, what about you?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you here?"

"Needed something to do and fresh air."

"I see.. Well, I wouldn't worry about you getting kidnapped, no one would want to kip nap you anyways. Someone that ugly."

"SAYS THE ONE WITH THE HIDEOUS HAIR!", Rukia yelled, turning over at him and glared. She kept glaring at him till she saw him look down. She followed his gazed and saw that her hand was on his.

"Oh!" , she jerked it away and slid over to the end of the bench. She flushed and looked to the other side.

Ichigo stared at her, not moving an inch since she touched him.. Again.

"Uh...Sorry." she apologized. She still wouldn't look at him, but she felt his gaze on her.

"..Whatever.." , he said and stood up and dusted his pants. "I'm gonna head home now. See ya'." He got a few steps before Rukia's voice stopped him.

"Wait, I.. sorta.. got lost."

"What?", he gave a small laugh.

"Shut up! You heard me!"

"Yeah, yeah." , Ichigo said, still laughing. "Just because Tatsuki would skin me alive if you tell her that I kind of left you here to rot and just because I have pity for you, I'll walk ya' home."

Rukia made a face, she knew she shouldn't say anything. She was getting help and that was good enough.

"Where do you live?"

"Somewhere on Lei street."

"Where those big houses are?"

Rukia nodded.

"So, you're some little princess, eh? Kind of strange, you don't act like one."

"Well, whatever." , she didn't know what to say towards that. It was somewhat true.

The two started their way down the street

"Did you see that, Shirou-kun?" , Hinamori asked, holding on to her pink ice cream.

"Yeah, Lady Rukia got lost." He said, getting his mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"No! She's with a guy!"

"Yeah, so? You are too."

Hinamori flushed again, her heart beating faster. "..B-but I know you! Who's that though?"

"Maybe she knows him."

"We can't be too sure."

"You sound like an over-protected-dad. You know, the ones where he won't let his daughter talk to any guy at all?"

"Shirou-kun!"

"I'm kidding. I'm kidding." , he chuckled and the heaving girl. "What do you want us to do? Follow them?"

"Since we're going that way to head home anyways..."

Hitsugaya sighed, "Fine."

"How did you get lost?"

"I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Plus it was dark."

"What a moron."

"Shut it." , Rukia gave him a little shove.

"Hey! What was that f-"

"There it is." , she cut into his sentence.

"What?"

"My house."

"..." , he looked at her house. "You don't even live here and it's that big!"

"I suppose." Rukia said before leaving a long moment of silence between them. "Um...thanks for walking me home."

"Like I said, I felt pity for you." Ichigo expect to be shoved again or to be told to shut up, but he saw Rukia smiling, hell maybe even blushing.

"Well.. thanks. You still helped me."

"Yeah.. well... it wasn't much."

Rukia nodded and looked at her watch. "Oh, it's past nine! You want a lift back home?"

"Nah, I like walking."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, yeah. "

"Alright...Bye then.. I guess."

"Yeah, bye." Ichigo waved and turned to walk away. Rukia didn't move until he was out of her sight. She sighed and walk into her house.

"Did you see the way she smiled? I think she likes him!" , a female voice whispered.

"...So?" , came a male's voice.

"It's cute!"

Hitsugaya sighed and shaking his head, yet smiling. "How about we go into the house now?"

"Oh! Right." Hinamori smiled and grabbed Toushirou's hand, bringing him into the house.

"Where did you go?" , Byakuya asked once Rukia entered the door."

"Oh.. uh.. out."

"I didn't see you leave the door and Hinamori told me she only left with Hitsugaya."

"Uh.." , that's right, she jumped out her window. Smart. "Oh, I...was.. in the backyard! Yeah.. and.. I just went from there?"

Byakuya said nothing for a long while. Then Hinamori and Hitsugaya burst in.

"Hey! We're...back?" Hinamori said, quieting down when she saw Rukia standing in front of Byakuya. 'Oh.. He saw her jumping out of her window! Oh no! Poor Rukia-san...'

"I see... Next time, just tell me." Byakuya said before returning to his office.

'Did she get out of trouble or something!' Hinamori thought to herself. 'I'll visit her in a bit.'

Later that night, Rukia was lying in her pajamas, remembering what happened earlier. Then she heard knocking.

"C'mon in!"

"Hey, Rukia-san!"

"Hey Hinamori."

Hinamori was sure to close the door and walked far away form it before talking, "Did you get in trouble?"

"Huh? Oh, nah."

"Oh.. that's good."

"Why?"

"Oh, it was a pretty odd tension when Shirou-kun and I came in."

Rukia laughed, "I see. Speaking of Hitsugaya. Where did you go with him? A date?"

Hinamori blushed, "N-no! Just for ice cream!"

"Sounds like a date to me."

"It's not!"

"Yeah, yeah. If you said so."

"We saw you with some guy though. Were you on a date?"

Rukia choked on her breath and gasped.

"Are you okay!", Hinamori said, running over to Rukia and patting her back.

"D-d-date? With Ichigo?"

"With strawberry?"

"No, no. That's his name."

"So you do know him."

"...Yeah..."

"How strange.. cause it seemed like one, especially you sneaking out, and having him walk you back. Then the little moment near our house!"

"I didn't sneak out! I didn't felt like using the door! Plus I got lost and just thanked him for showing me back home, okay!"

"Okay, calm down! I think it's funny how you're spazzing over it if it really wasn't much."

Rukia blushed and looked away. Hinamori noticed it, "Do you like him though? Date is one thing, but.. you know ...a crush?"

"To tell you the truth..." , Rukia started, "I don't know.."

"Is he like any other male friend?"

"I don't know...he treats everyone the same...not in a very good manner either, but he doesn't mean it, I think.. So I really don't know what to say."

"I meant how you feel towards him."

"That's just it. I don't know with him being like that. I don't want to like someone if they don't like me back."

"When someone says maybe.. or they don't know. It's most likely a yes!"

"What!"

Hinamori laughed and left after saying bye. Leaving Rukia speechless.

Yeah.. I'm going to end it there, because I don't know what to put. ;D Yeeeeeeeah.
