So, so, so sorry for the extremely late update- I've been so busy you wouldn't believe it. I've got school-school-and more school or and don't forget about the social drama, ugh. I've already began all of the four stories I planned- but those will be a while before they get finished-sorry but it's the truth. I hope no one is to angry with the delay. I'll try not to let it happen again. Anyway I hope you enjoy! Plz Review


Chapter 16

"Oh, my God!" Orihime screamed, "You guys made it you actually did it!" the orange-haired girl bounced up and down and hugged her boyfriend.

"Ya, I've got to hand it to you guys as well." Tatsuki smirked with on hand on her hip.

"Thanks, but tomorrow we have to revert back to the midget singing, so-" Ichigo smirked, but then choked as he was jabbed in the rib cage.

Rukia smiled with satisfaction as she placed her hands on either side of her waist, "Ya, right that's what you get for being an ass, you ass."

"Who gives a shit, the only thing that matters is that we are finally in- we're so close I can taste it." Renji said rubbing his hands together.

"You look evil, don't do that." Tatsuki told him hitting him from the back of his head.

"Ouch! Damn woman, are you being influenced by Rukia or something?" Renji asked his girlfriend rubbing the back of his crimson red hair.

"Maybe." she smirked and gave Rukia a wink.

"Ichigo, do you want to do something tonight?" Maiko asked looking up at the orange-haired teen with hopeful sky-blue eyes.

Ichigo's amber orbs went wide in absolute astonishment, "You are aware that it's already 11:30?"

"Ya, so what? It's Tokyo!" the blonde smiled, she wrapped her arm around his, "Come on I saw this really cool looking club a few streets down and I bet-"

Miyako who was previously pre-occupied with conversing with other bands noticed Ichigo being hauled away by a certain blonde, "Excuse me, Ami, I've gotta go." She stepped in front of the Ichigo and Maiko, "Um, exactly what do you think you're doing, Maiko, with my band's lead guitarist?"

"We were just going to go to a club that's it" she glared at the taller girl.

"Really, because last time I checked we were already in one." the brunette said calmly but sternly.

"Really, because last time I checked-this place was a drag. Besides I think my boyfriend and I can go wherever we want to." Maiko scoffed.

"He doesn't even like you, you dim wit." Miyako rolled her eyes.

"Oh, please- have you seen me, Honey?" the blonde rolled her pair of perfect light blue eyes, "Any guy would kill for a chance with me. Don't be jealous because the best you could do was his twin brother."

"Trust me, the last person I'd want to get with would be, Ichigo." Miyako told her, "But, you've got to be dumb to ever believe he looks at you the with even a fourth of the desire and intensity he does to Rukia."

"Fuck Rukia, she's just a little anorexic bitch who can't even keep a guy because she so-" Maiko began.

"You don't" Ichigo pulled his arm away from her as he stared at the ground with his hands pulled together to form fists.

"Ichi-" The blonde began again looking at her boyfriend.

"You don't deserve to call her that, there is nothing she has done to ever be called that. And if anyone was ever in the right position to call her that, it certainly would not be you." He looked at her, his eyes were glowing gold with anger.

First, Maiko's eyes were wide in shock, but they were quickly narrowed as they became laced with annoyance, "I cannot believe you, you asshole. You fucking went out with me when you... you just met her! You just met her how in God's name can you be in love with her already?!"

"I-uh- what, come again?" Ichigo was so baffled at the remark he had no idea what to say.

Miyako was shocked as well, not that she didn't already know that Maiko's statement was true, it was mainly because she had no idea that Maiko had the intelligence level to detect it.

"Oh, come on, now that I think of it I should have known for a while. I probably did just, couldn't let myself believe it. It's so obvious, the way you protect her from everyone. The way you let her hit you and abuse you without much of a fight- in fact, I think you're so sick and twisted that you actually enjoy it. You call her Midget, but I think that's your little pet name for her. I don't know why I even bothered wasting my time with you- if you like short sticks without boobs I guess that's you prerogative- but don't expect me to be there if you ever need another rebound or a girl to make Rukia jealous of. Don't call me, don't talk to me when school opens, I'm switching my hotel and staying at Tokyo for a bit longer." and with that Maiko was off.

Miyako and Ichigo just stared at her as she exited and stayed there gawking at the door she left- the two looked dumber than they ever did in their entire sixteen years. Then they heard clapping, "Well, Strawberry looks like you've lost that one too." came a voice.

The two turned to their left and saw him and they both glared, "What do you want, Ashido?" Ichigo asked

"Now, now no need to be hostile- we are competition, but we can be friends, can't we?" He smirked approaching the pair like a wolf approaches his prey.

"Really last time I checked friends don't-" Miyako began.

"Shhh," Ashido told her, "I was talking to the lover boy over there."

"You know what I really don't feel like being around you, so why don't you just leave me alone- and don't go anywhere near her." Ichigo glared the three of them already aware of who 'her' was.

"Why are you jealous that-" Ashido began in his sly voice.

Ichigo snapped, "Jealous of what? Jealous that you were living off the streets and freeloaded off of her while living in her closet for nearly two years? Or that you attempted to rape her?!"

Miyako looked up at Ichigo, "When did she tell you that?", but if either of the men heard her they weren't paying her any mind.

Ashido let out a laugh, "Wow, the little blondie really was right, you love her don't ya?"

"Shut up" Ichigo narrowed his eyes

"Though she was wrong about one thing, Rukia isn't just a little stick, she's got some curves- I saw her naked so many times when I was in that closet- and that was two years ago. She appears to have developed some more curves now and-" Ashido's back hit the wall as Ichigo had him in a chokehold. "Ah,... you really going to ruin your band's chance in the competition because of a little jealousy?" he managed to say.

"Shut up!" Ichigo spat at him while tightening his grip around the man's neck.

The members of both bands rushed over as they witnessed the scene.

"What the hell is going on here?" Uryuu asked.

"Hey get your asshole singer off of mine! Who the hell is going to sing for my band tomorrow?!" Grimmojov yelled at the members of Bleach.

"Ichigo, let go, I'm serious!" Kaien told him.

"No, Kaien- you don't know what he did to her." Ichigo told his twin brother without letting go.

"What's going on here?" asked brunette from the Sailor Scouts.

"Guess you're right, Horse, the guy is tougher than he looks" Szayel said, "Still think he's trash, Ulquiorra?"

"I think he's an insolent naive little boy, that's what I think." he answered indifferently.

"Ichigo, let go of him." Rukia finally came forward.

"Rukia, I'm not. Not after what he did to you, not after the way he speaks of you." Ichigo

glared at him.

Rukia grabbed his arms that caught Ichigo's attention and his attention turned to the petite girl, "Please, Ichigo." he saw her eyes watering and he felt her hands shaking.

Ichigo sighed, "Alright." and with that he let go of Ashido who fell for the ground. The maroon-haired man began coughing and rubbing theare of his neck that was covered with

red hand prints.

"Ashido!" Ciruucci ran over to him. The purple-haired girl turned her attention to the orange-haired boy who holding the petite girl up she glared at them.

"Rukia are you okay?" Ichigo whispered to her. "Everyone let's head back for the hotel."

With that Bleach began to make their way out of the club, all the while having the

Arrancars giving them death glares.

As Ichigo left Cirrichi stopped him, "If you want you little girlfriend to be safe you keep your hands off my boyfriend. If I see lay a single hand on him again- I will personally fuck you little porcelain doll's perfect little face up. You don't know what he's going through." the purple-haired girl threatened.

"You won't, touch her. I can not promise that I won't. I might even end up killing him. And you're right I have no clue what's going through his psycho-pathetic head." Ichigo told her and followed the rest of his band. All Cirruichi could do was stand there.

At the hotel...

"Today was an interesting day." Ichigo looked at Rukia who had just finished her bath. He marveled her, even without the make up the petite girl couldn't be denied her beauty. Even in her Chappy pajamas Rukia was nothing less of stunning. And now after she took a shower, her silky raven strands wet and sexier than ever, she used honey and vanilla shampoo and conditioner and the aroma filled the air.

Rukia grabbed the white towel and began drying her hair, "Interesting... is that the word you'd choose to describe it?"

Ichigo shrugged his shoulders, "It pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?"

Rukia gave out a sincere smile, "I'd use peculiar." as she walked over and sat on the bed next to Ichigo.

"You, know." Ichigo looked at her with amber eyes. She stared up at him with her violet ones.

"Do I know what?" She kept smiling.

"You have the most beautiful smile I've ever seen." He told her as he held her chin up to look at him.

Rukia laughed and stuck her tongue at him, "Ever the charmer, huh Ichigo?"

"I'm serious." he told her in a husky voice.

"Ichigo, you know Maiko-" she began.

"She left me, broke up with me,whatever." He said tilting her chin up more.

"I- uh," Rukia began before she felt his lips gently make contact with his. Ichigo was being so gentle, he was never this gentle with his kisses before, but Rukia liked. it. Her arms went instinctively behind his neck as he pressed her against the bed he towering over her. Rukia ran her tongue on his lower lip and pushed her tongue against his as soon as he opened his mouth. As the two teens continued their make-out session Ichigo's hands had traveled down the hem of her shirt and just when he was about to slide those hands underneath the Chappy tank a phone went off, Welcome to Chappy's house, to Chappy's, to Chappy's house. We can play games and eat candy like family.. You can be Chappy's friend, Chappy's friend, oh Chappy's friend. You can be Chappy's friend if you come over and play. Rukia went over and grabbed her phone.

"You seriously put the Chappy theme song as you ringer?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia threw a pillow at him, "Shut up!" He eyes went wide, "It's my brother," the raven-haired girl answered her blackberry, "Hello Byakuya,... Ya I'm fine, how's the competition and Tokyo... oh, I'm sure there's a promising band among the group... no I'm fine, but you know I always miss you when your gone... I love you too, bye."

"So, I was wondering what we will do once your brother finds out about you and the whole band thing." Ichigo told her.

Rukia sighed and placed her blackberry on the lamp stand, "I think I need to tell him. I need to become a stronger person you know."

"If you ask me, I'd say you are already a pretty strong person, Rukia. Probably the strongest person I've met in the entirety of my lifetime. To go through the shit you have," Ichigo looked up at her- he was sitting on the bed and she was standing in front of him.

"You really think so?" Rukia asked seductively as she placed her arms on his shoulders, intertwining the hands behind his neck. She placed her legs on either side of his hips, straddling him.

Ichigo looked at her and sighed purposely letting his hot breath hit the bare skin on her neck, "I know so, you seem stronger than me most of the time"

"You are way too sweet for me, Ichigo Kurosaki." she stared at him, she looked at his face her eyes moving from his eyes to his defined jaw. From there the navy eyes continued the journey down until Ichigo propped her head up.

"I don't like having a midget gawking at me like a cheetah does to it's prey." he told her.

Rukia pouted allowing her lower lip to stick out, "I can't help it."

"Okay now I know this day is interesting, you aren't yelling at me for calling you a midget." the orange-haired teen smirked.

"It's a not interesting it's peculiar-so kiss me or I'll revert back to my old ways." the raven haired girl shot.

Ichigo Kurosaki was not dumb and quickly complied.

Elsewhere…

Byakuya sighed after his conversation with Rukia, "Something tells me she's up to something, it must be just my imagination." he told himself. He heard a knock at the door. The raven-haired Kuchiki went to answer it.

"Hey Byakuya!" Senna cheered, behind her were the other three members of the shinigamis looking not the least bit tired.

"It's nearly two o'clock in the morning why are you interrupting me so late." He said demeaning at the group twenty year-olds.

"Oh, brighten up Byakuya, you're not that old yet" Shuuhei chuckled as he and the rest of the group made their way into Bykuya's hotel room.

"Certainly, the way you act you will look 50 by the time you're twenty-eight. Now that would be very unbeautiful." Yumichka told him.

"I'm already twenty-eight, Yumichka." Byakuya told the younger man.

Ikkaku laughed, "See it's already taking affect" he pat Byakuya on the shoulder.

"Is there something that you four want, or is bothering me this late at night sufficient enough for your entertainment?" he asked.

"Technically, Byakuya, it's just really early in the morning." Senna told him, "But, we were just here to hang out." she smiled.

"I want to sleep." the eldest Kuchiki sighed and took a seat on the nearest chair.

"So, what do you think of Nemu?" Shuuhei asked.

"Who?" Byakuya sighed, "Oh, wait the green-eyed girl working as our assistant?"

"Ya, she sure is beautiful isn't she?" Yumichka said.

Byakuya's eyes went wide- and he must have been really tired to say what he said next, "I thought you were gay."

Yumichka went red in anger. Senna and Ikkaku laughed uncontrollably. Shuuhei chuckled, "He isn't gay, Byakuya. The most extreme metro in the world, but not gay, I've seen him check out girls before, hell he's dated, kissed, and fucked girls before."

"Oh, well, then why don't you ask her out" Byakuya yawned.

"I don't like her." Yumichka spat.

"Then way did you-" Byakuya began.

"He wants to know if you like her, idiot." Senna rolled her eyes, 'When Byakuya is tired he's so funny, slipping things out his mouth, he doesn't even use his brain'

"Why would you want to know that?" he asked.

"Because, you need some love in your life." Shuuhei told him.

Byakuya, "Well, I don't have time for that in my life."

"That didn't answer the question, Byakuya, do you like the girl?" Ikkaku asked.

"And what if I do?" he asked.


And Rukia and Ichigo love- The Ichirukiness. Anyway I hope you enjoyed the chappy song- I liked it. Did anyone see the new episode of Bleach. Thank the heavens we are out of the filler. I think the new songs are good- well, mostly the opening. Though it seems Bleach is coming to an end soon- it seems though I hope not. I can't wait for the next movie- which will be a while from now. I saw the first one in English finally, but I didn't really enjoy Senna's voice all that much-sighs bad dubbing. Anyway plz review and super sorry for the delay
