_ Chapter Two: The two days training! _

.

In the class 3 section A, a new transfer student was introduced by the teacher. He made his way on the platform near the teacher and bowed down. After a few seconds, he straightened up, and introduced himself.

"Ohayou Gozaimasu Minna, Ore wa Kurosaki Ichigo ni gozaimasu. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." He said.

The students murmured with each other about the transfer student. He was tall, his eyebrows were furrowed yet he was handsome, he had amber-colored eyes and his hair was orange. He was a good-looking guy all-in-all.

"If you want to ask him something, you can ask him now." the teacher informed the class.

There's a tall dark haired girl who raised her hand.

"What is it, Hikari?" the teacher asked.

The girl, Hikari, stood up and asked, "There's so many school in Japan, why did you choose to study here instead?"

"It's because both of my cousins were studying here and my father wants me to be classmates with one of them."

Everyone in the class except the teacher stared at him with their eyes wide. They began to wonder who might be the cousin of this new handsome transferred student.

"Really? If that's true, mind telling us who your cousin was?" Hikari asked again.

Ichigo chuckled lightly. "Actually, she was sitting right behind you."

Hikari's eyes widened and slowly turned around to see the one sitting behind her.

"What? You mean it's…" she trailed off.

All of the students in the class looked at the woman behind Hikari. She was tall and had curly orange hair like her newly transferred cousin. She also had brown eyes and wonderful curves. She really was sexy.

The woman next to Kurosaki Ichigo's cousin nudged the man's cousin's arm, getting her attention.

"Is that true? Is he really your cousin, Rangiku?" Miru Yui, Rangiku's seatmate at the left side and friend, asked.

Rangiku nodded. "Yeah, he is my cousin."

"So that is why you're both tall and had orange hair." Younha commented. She is Rangiku's classmate and Yui's twin sister. She was seated behind her twin sister.

"Alright Ichigo. Go seat next to Rangiku now. We will start the class." The teacher said, getting the attention of the class.

"Hai." Ichigo said politely. He was making his way to the said seat when Rangiku raised her hand and stood up.

"Matte kudasai, sensei!" she said.

"Doushita no, Rangiku-san?"

"That was Rukia's seat. And I'm sure she'll come to school today." Rangiku reasoned out.

Their teacher sighed. Rangiku sensed something was wrong. "She's not coming to school."

"Nante desu ka?" Rangiku asked politely, slightly hiding the tinge of worry in her voice.

"Because she dropped out a while ago."

Everyone except Ichigo, who didn't know who Rangiku are talking about, had their eyes all wide.

"But sensei," Yui stood up also. "Do you know the reason why?"

"I don't think I should tell you that. It will be better if she will be the one to tell it to you." The teacher said.

Rangiku sighed in defeat and sat down on her seat with Yui followed suit.

Ichigo continued to walk towards the seat next to Rangiku and sat down on it. He was wondering who was this 'Rukia' they were talking about. And what was so special about her that it seems that all of the students in this class were worried about her.

Ichigo sighed. He decided to wait until lunch to know about this 'Rukia'. So for now, he had to focus as the class finally started.

Soon, the bell finally rang, concluding that it was time for lunch. Their teacher stood up and left. All of the students wandered to their group of friends. Rangiku stood up and flipped her cellphone. She cursed.

"Damn it! It's out of battery!" she held her phone tightly in her hand. "What was that girl thinking? She didn't even tell me about this! I'll kill her if I saw her!" she whispered angrily.

"Oi! Ran! What are you waiting for? Let's go! Toushirou's waiting!" she heard Ichigo called out to her.

"Okay!" she said as she followed him up to the rooftop. That was where Rangiku and the others eat for lunch and Ichigo knew about it already since his two cousins often told him what they were doing in school.

When they reached the rooftop, Toushirou was not there yet and so while waiting, Rangiku just sat there, talking about the school for Ichigo.

"Momo?" a guy with a silver white hair approached her as she was removing her bento out of her bag. She turned around and smiled upon seeing him.

"Oh hey Shirou-chan!" she exclaimed.

"Don't call me that especially in school!" he retorted. He always hated that nickname she gave to him when they were younger.

Momo giggled. "Sorry about that. I thought it's alright since we are childhood friends."

"You're always taking advantage of our long time friendship." Toushirou murmured but Momo heard him. She giggled.

"So, what is it you need?" she asked.

"Well, do you want to join us for lunch?" he asked.

"Sure, why not." She nodded.

"That's great. Come on. I think nee-chan's already waiting at the rooftop."

"Right!"

"I thought you'd be here." A teenage guy with black hair with black eyes said as he made his way towards them.

Ichigo recognized the voice as he turned his head towards the newcomer.

"Tatsuya?" he said as he stood up and welcome his childhood friend. "Tatsuya, I didn't know that you're studying in the same school."

Mayumu Tatsuya chuckled. "I'm enrolled in here just last week. Rangiku and Toushirou knew about it." he just said.

"What?" Ichigo exclaimed and turned to his cousin, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"He told me it should be a surprise." Rangiku replied flatly.

"Oh, I'm surprised." He said sarcastically, and turned to Tatsuya again. "Hey, in what section you are in?"

"I'm in section B. You're in section A right?"

Ichigo nodded. "We're not in the same class." He said slightly sad. He knew Tatsuya when they were both four years old. He met him after the year of his mother's death. Tatsuya's mother was a good friend of Ichigo's mother and so they've been good friends ever since.

"Don't worry, we can still eat lunch here at the rooftop together." He paused and smiled, "And I can still visit you in your place."

Ichigo smirked. "You're right."

"Toushirou! You're late!" Ichigo heard Rangiku yelled, causing him to turn towards the newcomers.

"I'm sorry sis." Toushirou said as he panted when he reached his sister.

Rangiku sighed. "Never mind. Come on, let's eat."

"Hai."

Rangiku then recognized the young lady behind Toushirou. "Oh, Momo-chan. You're here. Come on, join us." She waited for Momo and Toushirou and as well as Ichigo and Tatsuya to sit down before she asked Momo, "Why did Rukia dropped out of school?"

Momo was startled by the question. "Why? Didn't she tell you?"

"She didn't. That's why I'm asking you."

"What? Kuchiki-san dropped out of school?" Tatsuya asked in disbelief. He couldn't believe it. That was impossible. She loves to go to school so that was extremely not possible.

"Yeah. So Momo-chan, care to explain why?"

"I thought she would tell you because she told me that she would inform you guys before the class starts." Momo explained.

"Huh? But, she didn't show up earlier today." Rangiku said.

"Maybe something came up. I'll make sure to tell her to call you before the day ends." Momo suggested, knowing that Rangiku, her sister's best friend, worry too much for her.

Rangiku sighed. "That would be good. I'm counting on you. Thanks Momo-chan." Momo smiled in reply and continued to eat her obentou.

"Hey wait, wait, wait." Ichigo retorted.

"What?" Rangiku asked.

"You're speaking of her but I still didn't know her. Just who is this 'Rukia' girl? Will somebody please tell me?" he asked annoyingly.

"Kuchiki Rukia is the most intelligent student in this school. She is also my best friend. She's the one I once told you about having a sick mother and Momo-chan here is her younger sister." She said, pointing at Momo, who was busily speaking with Toushirou while eating.

Ichigo nodded as if he remembered something. "Oh, so that's her."

"Yes, so you didn't meet her yet?"

"Yes, it's kinda obvious."

"So, you must meet Momo-chan first then. Momo-chan…" she said, getting Momo's attention.

"This is Kurosaki Ichigo, mine and Toushirou's cousin." She paused, "And Ichigo, this is Kuchiki Momo."

"She's my childhood friend nii-chan." Toushirou spoke up.

Ichigo smiled. "Nice to meet you, Momo-chan."

Momo smiled widely too. "Nice to meet you too, Ichigo nii-chan."

Then, suddenly, the bell rang, concluding the second half of the class to start again. They stood up immediately and ran out of the rooftop, walking their separate ways.

When the class ended, Rangiku and Ichigo walked home together while Toushirou walked Momo up to their house. When they arrived, Rukia was there already, telling them that she didn't get any job at all. She also explained to Toushirou what her reason was too.

As soon as Toushirou reached his house, he told his sister what Rukia had explained to him and Rangiku had understood her situation.

That night, Rangiku and Ichigo's father, Kurosaki Isshin was already at their table, ready for dinner.

Six years ago, Isshin went to Tokyo without Ichigo, to start a business. He left Ichigo (who was 10 years old that time) with a close friend in a nearby town. He had a coffee shop after working as a crew in a restaurant after four years. As he started his own business, his sister entrusted her children to him, because of some business she and her husband needs to attend to in another country. Ever since then, the siblings, Rangiku and Toushirou had always been with him. He decided to support their studies in Tokyo. And now that he had enough earnings for his own son's needs, he decided to take Ichigo back with him. And so he asked his son to transfer in Seigaku Gakuen, where his cousins were currently studying. He was lucky that Ichigo was not mad at him for leaving him like that. He seemed to understand their situation that time, and he was glad about that.

"Rangiku…" Isshin said to his niece. "You call out Ichigo and Toushirou now. The dinner's ready."

"Hai." Rangiku smiled and obliged her uncle's order.

She went to the boys' room and opened the door without a word. "Ichi, Shirou, dinner's ready…" she said.

"Sis, do you know how to knock first before you opened the door?" Toushirou asked.

"Oh, sorry about that. Come on, hurry up. I'm hungry." She said as she made her way downstairs ahead of them.

"Okay, okay." Ichigo replied as he and Toushirou stood up and followed Rangiku downstairs.

"Rangiku, do you know someone who can work as a crew in the coffee shop? I need to hire someone this season. The customers were getting more and more because of the near winter." Isshin asked and explained to his niece while having their dinner.

It was October month so it will be cold soon because of the upcoming winter season.

Rangiku immediately thought of her petite best friend. "I know someone uncle. She kind of needs work at this time so I want to recommend her."

Isshin nodded. "Tell her to come here tomorrow morning then. She needs to be train by Ichigo before she starts working."

Ichigo's head perked up upon hearing his name. "Me?"

"Yes you. You're an expert when it comes to making unusual coffees so I would like you to train her for two days."

Ichigo sighed. "Fine. Just make sure that she will be easy to teach."

"Don't worry Ichigo, she's good. A fast learner. She's also hardworking. You won't have a problem with her."

"I hope so." Isshin piped in, smiling.

After dinner, Rangiku was in her room. She flipped her cell phone open and dialed Rukia's number. The line rang and a 'beep' was heard.

"Hello?" a soft voice asked from the other side of the phone.

"Rukia, it's me." Rangiku calmly replied.

"Ran, uh… I'm sorry for what happened this morning because I didn't make it in time because some stuffed happened." Rukia explained.

"Oh, forget about that. I have wonderful news for you."

"News? What news?"Rukia asked curiously.

"Well, my uncle needs someone to help in his coffee shop as a crew. I recommended you. Is that alright?"

"Really? Ran, that's great! Where's that?" she asked excitedly.

"My residence. You know where is it right? You need to be here tomorrow, before 8 in the morning."

"I'll be there then. Thank you so much Ran. This means so much to me."

"No need to thank me. I just want to help. See you tomorrow then?"

"Yeah. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Rukia and Rangiku hung up the phone call. Rukia told the news to her mother and sister and they were very happy for her, confident that Rukia will pass whatever the owner will tell her to do. So, that night, Rukia slept early.

:: Saturday; 7:30 AM ::

.

Rukia reached the place where Rangiku lived. She hesitated to come in since she was not sure whether that was really the place Rangiku was talking about.

Suddenly, Rukia was startled when someone put a hand on her shoulder.

"RUKIA!" Rangiku said, startling her best friend intentionally.

Rukia turned to face her friend. "RANGIKU! What are you thinking? Do you want me to get killed of a heart attack?" she yelled slightly angry.

Rangiku laughed nervously. "G-gomen ne." she paused. "I've been waiting for you for a long time now. Let's come in." she dragged Rukia in the coffee shop before she can even reply.

Inside, they saw a tall man with spiky black hair and a black beard. He looked at them smiling.

"Oh, is this your friend, Rangiku?" Isshin asked.

"Yes Uncle. Rukia, this is my Uncle." She introduced as he pointed to his Uncle. "And Uncle, this is Rukia." she introduced doing vice versa.

Rukia bowed in front of him gracefully. "A pleasure to meet you sir. I'm Kuchiki Rukia." she introduced.

Kuchiki?Isshin thought. Is this young lady was… no doubt she really is her daughter. They resembled each other after all. But, what could be the reason why Ran recommended her?

"Uncle? What's wrong?" Rangiku asked, getting Isshin out of his thoughts. He shook his head slowly and smiled warmly.

"It's nothing." He answered as he looked at Rukia again. "So, you're the one Ran was talking about. She told me many good things about you. I hope you would enjoy your stay here if you passed." He grinned.

Rukia smiled. "That would be for certain, Isshin-san."

"Anyways, today will be your training so if my son was out for school, you'd be able to do what he is doing. Got it?"

Rukia nodded. "Yes sir."

"He will be the one who will also train you for two days."

"That would be a pleasure for me sir." She replied. This man was really kind. She wondered if his son was also as good as him too.

"Toushirou?" Isshin called out to his nephew who was sitting on the living room's couch, busily reading some notes from school.

The said boy looked at his Uncle from the door which leads to the Coffee shop.

"What is it, Uncle?" he asked, putting his notes down on the near table.

"Please call your cousin in his room. His trainee was here already."

"Rukia nee was here? Okay then." Toushirou walked upstairs to their room. He and Ichigo were sharing the same room and Rangiku was next to their room alone. They were sleeping in a double deck bed with Toushirou above and Ichigo under it.

The silver haired boy saw his older cousin strumming his guitar while sitting on his bed.

"Ichi nii-chan. Uncle wants you downstairs."

Ichigo stopped strumming and looked at Toushirou. "Why?" he asked.

"Because, Ran nee-chan's friend was here already. You need to see your trainee now don't you think?" Toushirou inquired with such innocence.

[A/C: How cute! Toushirou's kinda different here. He's pretty oblivious. Just like Yuzu… but Yuzu's not present here so… whatever.]

"Okay, I'll be down then. Come on." Ichigo replied as he followed Toushirou who made his way down the stairs ahead of him.

When Ichigo and Toushirou reached the coffee shop, Toushirou greeted Rukia normally. And then, Rukia caught sight of orange. And then, she was ready to freak out when she saw who it is. She looked at him with full shocked as he looked the same way at her.

And then, they exploded.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHH!" they both yelled at the top of their lungs towards each other.

"What are you doing here?" Rukia asked, pointing a finger at him.

"That's my line! What are you doing in MY house?" Ichigo shot back at her, his eyebrows furrowed more than usual.

"YOUR house? Then that means, you ARE the son of the owner of this Coffee shop?"

"Don't tell me that you ARE the one who I will train? Oh no! It was gonna be a two day suicide!"

"Y-you two… know each other?" Rangiku stuttered out, after recovering from her initial shocked.

"Yeah, how could I forget the guy who bumped into me and kissed me?" Rukia retorted.

"Kiss YOU? YOU'RE the one who kissed me, you one hell of a midget!"

"WHAT? How dare you call me midget you orange guy bastard!"

"You evil bitch! I hate you!"

"And either am I!"

"Stop it you two!" Isshin said, startling the two bickering teens.

"I-I'm sorry." Rukia said apologetically.

Isshin sighed. "Rukia, are you sure that you still want to work here after learning about my son?" he asked her truthfully.

"Y-yes sir." She replied, hesitating a few moments.

"Even if he will be the one who will train you?"

Rukia glared at Ichigo and Ichigo glared at her too.

"Yes sir. That's fine with me." Rukia answered after turning her gaze away from the orange-haired son of the owner.

I still need to do this. I can't let the opportunity get away. I need to earn money for my family and I will never let this orange-haired bastard get in my way.She thought.

"Ichigo." Isshin called out.

Ichigo looked at his father.

"Introduce yourself casually."

Ichigo sighed. Well, this is now or never.He thought before facing the girl he despised again.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo." he said, slightly bowing and straightening up.

Strawberry? Or is it 'One who protects'? She thought for a moment before doing the same. "I'm Kuchiki Rukia. And it's nice to meet you too."

Be thankful that I just need a job. If not, I might have punched you a while ago…

Be thankful that I had a long temper. If not, I might have killed you a while ago…

They both thought while silently glaring deathly at each other.

"Now that you know each other," Isshin paused, "Let's start her training."

He turned to Rukia with a smiling face and said, "Do your best Rukia-chan because you'll gonna start working here on Monday."

Rukia nodded. And Ichigo lowly growled.

"Oh, and another thing. Get her rest at lunch time. Rangiku, take a good look at them okay?" he asked, turning to his still there, niece.

"Leave it to me, Uncle." She said happily.

"Okay, I'll leave now. I have to meet with a friend from a nearby town." Isshin informed them as he put on his black leather jacket.

"And Ichigo…"

"What?"

"Don't be so hard on her."

Ichigo sighed. "Okay, okay…"

Isshin smirked. I know that something might have triggered these two someday…

And Isshin walked out of the Coffee shop after hearing his nephew wished him goodbye.

After Isshin had gone out, Ichigo walked inside the Counter.

"Follow me." He said, obviously talking to Rukia.

What's with this guy? She shook her head and followed him quietly to the counter.

Rangiku sat on the stool outside the counter, watching their every move without a word.

And then, the training began…

"Shirou-chan, how is she in there? Is everything fine?" Momo asked over the phone.

"Yes she's fine. Everything's fine here." He paused as he realized what she had just called him. "Hey! I said quit with the nickname!" he said annoyingly. He heard her giggled.

Oh, how he love her giggles. Eh? What was he thinking?

"What's happening in there now?" she asked.

"Oh… well… Ichi nii-chan's training her right now and Ran nee-chan was there watching them."

"Hmm… Arigatou."

"Huh? For what?"

"Well… um… nothing… just forget what I said."

"You're weird."

"Just drop it. Just look at my sister for me, 'kay?"

"Okay… leave things here to me…"

"Hmm… thanks. See yah."

"Bye."

They both hung up.

Toushirou looked at the counter. He saw that Rukia was carefully and seriously watching Ichigo's every move. He smiled.

Don't worry, Momo. Rukia nee-chan will be fine. She's a strong woman after all.

Four hours had passed by quickly and it was already noon. Ichigo told Rukia to stop.

"Okay, that's it for the half of the day. Let's continue later. Take up your lunch first. We'll start at 1 pm."

Rukia nodded slightly. "Okay."

He walked out of the counter not before murmuring, "Let's see if you can do what I did earlier."

Rangiku dragged Rukia out of the Counter and took her at one of the tables, the one nearest to the counter.

"Rukia, here…" she said as she handed a tray of food on the table. "Eat this. I'm the one who made this."

"Really? Wow… thanks Ran." She said as she dig in and eat the food her best friend handed her.

"This was really good." She commented.

"I'm happy you like it." Ran, short for Rangiku, said happily.

Rukia continued to eat while Rangiku just watched her.

"So, Rukia, how did you met Ichigo?" she asked.

"Huh? Well… I met him in Seigaku Gakuen."

"Really? When? And how?"

"I met him yesterday, after I talked to the principal about quitting and I bumped into him, causing the two of us to lie down on the ground and we accidentally kissed each other on the lips." She explained.

"EH? What a cute way for a future couple to have their first meeting." She commented while looking dreamily happy.

"Ran, we are not a future couple. And that will never happen!" she said.

"Tsch. So, what do you think about my cousin?"

"He's a foul-mouthed guy. I don't even know why you and Toushirou had a cousin like him. He's very harsh. I didn't like him even a bit." She said.

Rangiku sighed. "Rukia, don't say that. Ichigo is a kind person. He's very caring and helpful. He's very obedient too and understanding."

"Really? Why can't I see that now?" she asked sarcastically.

Rangiku cringed at Rukia's sarcasm. "Rukia, I think you should learn to know about him more."

"But, how will I do that? He also hated me like I do."

"Listen Rukia, he's a very good guy, believe me. Try to read him like you're doing to other people and don't let your hatred consume you again. You know you're better than that Rukia." she said seriously.

"Okay Ran, I understand… I'll keep that in mind."

Rangiku smiled. "No problem."

I think these two were pretty different.

The training started again and Rukia did what Ichigo had shown her a while ago. She finished it and Ichigo taste tested and drank it. He was shocked that it was really good. But, he didn't want to admit it. Rangiku and Toushirou tasted it too and they were amazed by Rukia's fast achievement.

Soon, Ichigo's father came home and he also, drank Rukia's made coffee and he was amazed and glad by her work.

"Rukia-chan, this is awesome!" he paused as he looked at her, still grinning, "You just did this in a day? You're pretty talented." He complimented her.

Rukia blushed for a moment. "Um… thank you so much sir."

Ichigo saw her blushing face and he whispered, "It's no big deal."

Toushirou, who heard him, elbowed his side gently. "Ichi nii-chan, why are you so pissed? It's true that she's really good right?"

Ichigo turned away. I don't think so.

With Isshin's happiness towards Rukia, he offered her to have a dinner with them that night. Rukia refused because she needs to go home. Isshin understand her situation and so he didn't push her any longer. He instead, ordered Ichigo to walk her up to the bus station where Rukia will commute to her house. Ichigo couldn't say no so he started to walk out of the house with Rukia trailing behind after saying goodbye to his father and cousins.

While on their way to the bus station, they just continue to walk quietly. Neither of them wants to break the tensed silence between them.

As they approached the Bus station, Ichigo stopped and faced behind; taking the path they were taking a while ago. He walked off without saying a word. Rukia followed him with her eyes.

There's no speaking with each other, huh? She thought as she stopped in front of the bus. She looked behind her, facing Ichigo's retreating back. She smiled warmly.

Arigatou.

And she rode the bus that will take her to her house.

Meanwhile…

Behind the bushes, Rangiku looked at Ichigo and then at Rukia, and then at Ichigo again.

What the heck? Such a waste… I am thinking that they might be perfect for each other…

"Tadaima!" Rukia said as she stepped in the house. She saw her sister ran towards her with a smile.

"Okaeri, Nee-chan! How was your training?" Momo asked as she welcomed her to their house.

"You know Momo, I had created a very good and delicious coffee and the owner likes it. He even complimented me." She said as they made their way to their living room.

"Honto? Omedetou!" Momo replied excitingly and extremely happy for her older sister.

"Thanks. So, where's Mom?" Rukia asked.

"I'm here, Rukia." she heard her mother said from behind. She was from her bedroom.

"Mom, you should be in bed by this time." Momo said as she looked at her mother worriedly.

Kuchiki Yoruichi shook her head slowly and smiled at her older daughter. "I'm waiting for your sister. And I've heard what you say, I'm so proud of you Rukia." she said.

"Thanks Mom."

Rukia faced her day again as her last day of training came. And this time, the coffee that she will make will be tasted by the customers. Her heart was pounding so fast in her chest. She was really nervous. After making it, the coffees were given to the customers. Rukia was still very nervous. Rangiku saw her very tensed and so she tried to reassure her.

"Rukia, don't worry. You'll be able to do it like you did yesterday." She said smiling.

Rukia sighed. "I hope so, Ran. I hope so."

Then, the customers finally tasted it while the crews of the coffee shop were looking intently, waiting for their response.

There were murmurs came from them and they saw smiling faces. Isshin walked up to one of the tables and asked them what they think. Isshin soon walked back to them.

"So Uncle, what did they say?" Rangiku asked.

"Well… they said that… they liked it." he said, grinning widely.

Rukia sighed in relief. She breathed out the air she didn't realized she was holding since she started making the coffees.

Rangiku held her hand to hers and looked at her grinning widely. "Omedetou Rukia! I told you, you'd make it!" she said.

"Thanks Ran."

"Congratulations Rukia-chan! You are now an official member of the 'Your Dream Coffee Shop'." Isshin said with a grin on his face.

Rukia was very happy that time. Well, everybody was happy. Except a certain orange-haired guy standing at the doorway, watching the whole scene ever since it started.
