IF YOU HAD NOT READ THE "REAL" CHAPTER FIVE, GO READ IT AND CHAPTER SIX. If you read the dance scene, that's not the right one. Go reeeead chapter five.
If you did, continue on with chapter eight.
As I mentioned before, the file BlackButterfli sent me has a virus. (I already got 306 corrupted adware and spyware files. So I'm trying to not take any chances.) So no offense and it's not like it's a "LOLOLOL YOU'RE FIRED" thing. But for my own safety, I'm might have to find a new BETA reader.
"Rukia?" , Byakuya asked, knocking on his sister's door.
"Yes!"
"Are you done yet?"
"Almost..." Rukia said behind the door. "There!" Rukia opened the door and smiled at her brother. She wore a simple black gown with black roses on the neck borderline.
"That...wasn't the dress we got for you..."
"I know, but I didn't want to look like Cinderella."
"..." Byakuya sighed. He saw it coming, Rukia wasn't 'manly', but she was far from girly too. He knew the pink Old European-styled dress wasn't something she would wear, but at least she wore something decent. "Alright, let's just go. You're late to start off with." With that, he started turning to leave.
"Uh.. right." , Rukia nodded and took a step forward before letting out a little squeak.
Byakuya turned to see his sister falling down. Apparently the gown was too long and her heels held the end of it down. He shook his head and continued walking.
"Oi.." , Rukia sighed, blushing. She hates doing embarrassing things like this in front of her brother. She felt like he expected a lot from her, but didn't get what he thought he would. She sighed and dragged herself to her feet. Holding up the bottom of the gown this time, she began to walk down stairs.
Wrong.
It wasn't her dress, it was her shoes.
She fell onto the wall this time.
"...Y'know what..." she started back into her room mumbling. Sitting herself on her bed and pulling off the awful heels. She tosses the first one at her right wall, only to make a hole with the heel on the bottom on her shoe.
"...Arrrrrrrrrrrge! Stupid worthless thing!" , she yelled quietly to herself and did the same thing with the other shoe. Hey, it already has a hole, two doesn't matter. After her furious fit, she grabbed a pair of black slippers and started downstairs again, Her gown was long right? No one would see.
"RUKIA! HOW ART THOU?"
Rukia nearly dropped her cup of water. She slowly turned her head towards the voice. "Hey...Urahara.."
"What? No wave? No smile? Such a deadly tone! My, my, my!"
Rukia looked at him flatly.
Urahara sighed, "Guess not, I'll be looking for your brother then! Toodaloo!"
Rukia sighed before another voice startled her again.
"RUUUUUKIIIIIIE-CHAAAAAAN!"
Rukia cringed, 'What's with everyone and their yelling nowadays?'. She slowly turned her head towards the voice again.
"HI RUKIE-CHAN!" , the kiddish voice squealed again.
"Hey Yachiru."
The kid with the cotton-candy hair smiled brightly. "HOW'VE YA' BEEN?"
"Yachiru...please stop yelling." , a large man with long hair came over with an embarrassed face.
"Why?"
"Because everyone would hear you."
"Oh, alright. OOOH- JUICE!" , Yachiru forgot about her question and ran towards to table with the huge crystal bowl and grabbed herself a cup.
"NO, YACHIRU, THAT'S WINE, NOT JUICE! YACHIRU!" , Kenpachi ran after the younger girl.
Rukia chuckled as the poor man struggle with a now drunk Yachiru.
"Hey, Rukia."
Rukia sighed, everyone just HAD to talk to her, didn't they? "Hey..." , she turned around to get the name of the person. "-...Abarai Renji..."
"Enjoying Japan?"
"Yeah, my friends are making it quite fun."
"Friends?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"No one you know."
Renji hated that. They've been friends since childhood and she's still able to keep secrets from him. "I see...W-"
"Rukia!" , a warm voice said, interrupting Renji.
Rukia gave a soft groan, it's going to be a busy night. "Hey Hanatarou." The small boy smiled. "Okay.. guys.. I need some air...mind if I go for a bit?"
"Oh! Go ahead! I hope you feel better!" , Hanatarou said before walking away.
"Thanks." Rukia gave a small nod before walking out of the balcony. She rested her head on her hands and sighed. She liked her friends, but.. Crowded areas...well, it's another story. In the background, you can hear people chattering and Yachiru squealing and knocking things over. Kenpachi, yelling after the little girl.
Then she thought about the day at the mall. She doesn't really love him, does she? No.. Love as in, a crazy crush? But she told herself it was more... Maybe it was just special...
Rukia raked her head. "So confusing...", she muttered to herself.
"What is?"
Rukia groaned again. 'Why won't people leave me alone..?' Then she turned around. "Oh, hey Renji."
"What's so confusing?"
"None of your business."
"But I want to know."
"And I don't want to tell. So suck it up and deal with it."
Renji sighed, "Such a secretive girl..."
"Yeah, we-"
"RUKIE-CHAN! REN-CHAN!" Yachiru ran towards them. "ME AND KEN-CHAN ARE PLAYING TAG! WANNA PLAY TOO?"
"WE'RE NOT PLAYING TAG!" Kenpachi yelled and continue running after the little girl to stop her from anymore chaos.
"ARE TOO!"
"Yachiru! Stop running! You already destroyed half the dining room!"
"WHEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEEEEE!" Yachiru squealed before starting to run back into the room. Rukia grabbed her before she could and handed her to Kenpachi.
"AW! NO FAIR! YOU HELP KEN-CHAN CHEAT! –hic-"
"... Oh no.. You really are drunk!"
Drunk Yachiru! Oh no.
