A/N : Here's the next chappie of Social Hiatus as promised! Really sorry for the delay...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 jealousy?!
"You--"she started.
"Me?"
"You dyed your hair black!!"
Realization hit him, his grin only widened.
"Yo! I'm Ichigo Kurosaki's twin, Kaien."
--
"Twin?" Rukia asked him, seemingly more to herself. Twin…
"Right…now if you'll excuse me, I've got to keep an eye on someone." Kaien made a shuffling noise as he squeezed himself on the other side of the ladder… one hand shoving a couple of books on the far end of the shelf. He mused on how messy the library has become and that someone has to make a serious cleaning…
"Yeah right…as if we all do…" Rukia silently muttered, rolling her sleeves up, she made an effort bending on her lower right side, one hand extended, attempting to reach the other set of books…aka the "energy-conserving move".
"And this one goes ri—woah!" She let the book fall as she tried to use both of her hands in steadying herself on the ladder. A close one…what caught her most was the extra hands that held her in place. She stared down on the said hands…large, firm but gentle…
"You should be more careful." Came a soft reply. She slowly made a move to face the said person, not really expecting herself to flush deep red…
His blue eyes with a hint of gray are soft and gentle, and his smile…cute!
"Uhm…thanks, I guess" If it's possible, she blushed more. She slid down the ladder, this time, acknowledging the help from Kaien. He offered his right hand to assist her while letting his other one support her waist.
"Anytime." He winked. Sigh…
Is there such a thing as love at second sight?

"Your chin's still there right? Coz if you got problems I can ask my father to repair whatever's left after the hit." Ishida Uryuu made a snide comment as his orange-haired friend lazily slumped himself on his chair. Ichigo growled 'no thanks' … since when is his four-eyed friend that concern about his health?
"You look like you could kill a cow… tell me, Ichigo. What is like being knocked out by another girl? That's the second after what? Five years? Haha! Come on! You gotta be better than a sissy geeky kid!" Tatsuki guffawed, earning murderous glare from her bestfriend.
"Shut up!" That bitch has to pay for damaging my pride…come on think…think!
--
"And I thought Ishida is the genius! You scored 99.71?! Amazing!" Kaien exclaimed, with a pair of eyes, as great as saucers. Rukia could only stammer.
"It's just Japanese history! No need to go ballistic about it!" Rukia bit her lower lip as she tried to fight off the blush. This is embarrassing…I wonder if his son-of-a-bitch twin could carry the same attitude and vibrance…it'll look comical and probably will kill the whole seireitei!Hah!
"Anyways, you said that you're always around the library right after lunch…doing after-school stuffs…wasn't that so hard?"
Rukia took off her glasses, wiping them with her sleeve. She put them on again, and found Kaien looking at her with unbelievingly eyes. "You have eyes like a goddess!"
And Rukia felt her world an erupting volcano…
--
Footsteps were heard as the group Soukyoku with Ichigo, nursing his sore chin, and leading the way. It was down the hallway when the eruption of squeals and laughter were heard: one, they're familiar with…the other was plain alien…
Then a laughing Kaien entered the scene, a pair of glasses in one hand… and the next thing they knew…Rukia Tsukishiro entered as well, face flushed, but showing her vibrant smile.
"Give it back, Kurosaki!"
And that's when Ichigo felt rage boiling from within.
