A/N : Here's the next chappie of Social Hiatus as promised! Really sorry for the delay, been busy for the last semester due to thesis and case requirements...anyway...hope you guys enjoy!RR please!

Summary: Rukia, an untouchable, versus the Superiors in Seireitei...including Ichigo...all she ever wanted was to have a nice school year start and not to stand out... but Fate has her way...not to mention falling in love with her arch enemy's twin brother,Kaien.

Doppleganger shift

The staring contest didn't last long…granted that the time and place aren't in harmony with the path they're about to take as the pair unknowingly gained themselves a number of spectators. Thought they're dealing with their own inner battle: either take the suspending opportunity and sock the living daylights out of your newfound adversary…or just live your last happy moments today, cockfight tomorrow.

Small, dainty hand gripping the larger one with ferocity, she flashed him a coy smile…earning herself a tighter hold as his response.

"Looks like we won't be rehearsing our Gladiator play today. Don't you agree Kurosaki-san?" She sighed, tugging her hand back, only failing when her tall fiend imprisoned it with the help of his other hand.

"You mean how Romeo finished Juliet?" He gave him a grin—errh---scowl---never mind!

"Oh you had it wrong! Romeo must die would be a hit!" She remarkably heightened her tone into her school girl mode. Her free hand closing itself into a fist and cracking a few knuckles, not really gone unheard by Ichigo. She looks like a thug when she does that…like the saying goes "characteristics of a man…body of a woman--Bydneley"

Loosening his hold, he felt her hand left his own, suddenly wishing it hadn't---wait---what was he thinking?!

"How about a quick rehearse?" were the last words he had heard from her when a swift and strong blow in the chin put him in an unconscious state…for an hour.

--------------------

"Okay, I only save him from sedative overdose, look at the brighter side. At least it was given for free." She conceitedly replied. Hanatarou, who could only offer an apologetic smile to the Soukyoku group, pulled the evil-grinning Rukia who's too busy brushing off imaginary dust from her hands, and dashed to the library, not really moved with her dramatic victory…only that retaliation could cost him his life in the future.

-------------------------------------------

A groan broke the tranquillity of the infirmary "Where am I?"

Amber eyes adjusted slowly as he tried to register his surrounding. White wall, white couch, white sheets, white pillow…everything's white. Figures.

"Damn, what the hell happened?" he let a hand run down his face, stopping only when he hit a sore spot just an inch below his chin. "Wha--"

He fingered the spot more carefully, leafing through his pages of memory to find out how he got it… eyes darkened in realization that the cause of this forced predicament he's in was none other than the newly arrived midget with arrogance ten times bigger than she is.

And amnesia was never the case when someone hit your jaw… nor the bruise that turned violet to sick-green in color…No…what worries him was that it'll probably his first time bending the 'Gentleman rules' and reconsider bashing poor little girls with geeky glasses…

"Just this once, revenge must be sweet."

--------------------------------------------

"RODGETS THESAURUS goes to—geez! Why are there so many books around here?" Rukia thumped the book on the 6th shelf, sending off dusts in a 180 degree direction. She steadily adjusted herself on the ladder. Never really fond of book cataloguing.

"Look around you and see if you're in a library." A voice not above whisper was heard.

Rukia rolled her eyes in annoyance. Funny, never heard that the little guy could actually do some witch's chant…

"You really know your choice of words, Hana--" Rukia craned her neck to see the guy behind and a foot lower than her. Raven-haired Ichigo stared with a stupid grin pasted on his face. Rukia's eyes widened for about an inch…her mouth twisted in a sardonic way.

"You---"she started.

"Me?"

"You dyed your hair black!!!!"

Realization hit him, his grin only widened.

"Yo! I'm Ichigo Kurosaki's twin, Kaien."
