Disclaimer: I still don't own Bleach... Darn
A/N: So chyea 2nd chapter. Yay? I think I kinda rushed it... I'm sorry T.T My dad is like "AHH! GET OFF! GO TO BED!" and I'm just all... "But but but" Ahh, I hate plane rides. I'm in Arizona, but tomorrow I'm going home, yayness. But that's why it seems rushed, cuz I'm being rushed. Don't get mad at me please. I'm just an innocent little girl that wants to write stories and make people happy! Hehe
The bell rang, as a very pissed Ichigo stormed into class, and took his seat next to Orihime. She looked at him, sighing lightly.
"Ichigo, don't be so mad, it's okay" She placed her hand on his, only to have him pull it away. He glared at the desk table, growling. He felt a familiar presence sit behind him, making him tense up more.
"Well Ichigo… How are you coping with this tie thing hm?" The cool deep female voice whispered in his ear. Ichigo balled up his fists and gritted his teeth. Then in a flash he stood up, grabbing the small girl's shirt and hoisting her up in the air. The piercing violet eyes stabbed his angry amber ones with slight fear. The whole class turned to the two, watching the intense scene.
"Ugh… What the hell Ichigo?! Put me down!" The girl struggled, trying to pry his fingers off of her shirt.
"This is all your fault Kuchiki Rukia! If it wasn't for you and your stupid band, I would have had all that money for my band and I!" He raised his voice at her, making her cringe a bit. His grip on her shirt tightened.
"What… Did you need the stupid money for anyways?!" Her jaw tightened after asking Ichigo the question. Orihime got out of her seat and moved to Ichigo, grabbing his arm softly.
"Ichigo… Please let her down, this isn't right" She said softly, rubbing his arm. Ichigo's jaw twitched, then he let her down back into her seat. He sighed, agitated, then sat back down in his seat. Orihime gave him a reassuring smile as she patted his head. "Good boy!" She giggled and went back to her seat beside him.
Rukia growled. "I asked you a question bone head…"
Ichigo ignored her while giving Orihime a pleading look. She nodded, then looked at Rukia.
"We needed all that money for better band equipment, ours is pretty much crap now… After we got all the equipment, we would give the rest of the money to Ichigo's dad's clinic" She scratched her head, stressing a bit. "But now, we only have half the money, but it's still okay" Orihime gave Rukia one of her best smiles. Rukia returned the smile slightly then turned her attention to the front of the classroom.
The second bell rang, then the teacher came in and started to teach his lesson. Rukia tried to pay attention, but could only find herself thinking about what Ichigo did earlier. 'His eyes… He seemed so….so…angry at me' She shuddered at the memory as she lowered her eyes, sighing in frustration. She picked up her pencil, turned a page in her notebook and started to doodle. She didn't know what and she didn't care what it would turn out like, it just distracted her to where she liked it. She saw Ichigo move an inch from the corner of her eye and the scent of strawberries passed by her. 'Mm, strawberries… How ironic is that? His name is strawberries and he smells like them' She giggled lightly.
Ichigo turned around, glaring her down. She shivered a bit, staring at his eyes. "Stop distracting me from working…" He grumbled then turned back around. Rukia growled loudly. 'Why he… Ugh the nerve of him! He grabs me then tells me I'm distracting?!' She threw her pencil at his head, snickering a bit. She saw him tense, which gave her a satisfying smile. She then started swinging her legs, constantly hitting his chair on purpose while she giggled to herself.
'Oi baka, you are so entertaining to watch, hehe'
Ichigo raised his shaky hand and the teacher pointed at him. "Yes Kurosaki?"
"Heh… May I please speak with Kuchiki-San outside of the classroom, I really need to tell her something very important" Ichigo tried his best to sound calm. The teacher nodded approval and he looked at Rukia. "C'mon… I need to talk to you…" He said under his breath grabbing her wrist and leading her out the door. As he closed the door, he pushed her up against the wall.
"Ow, what the hell baka?!" She closed one of her eyes as the trimming in the middle of the wall dug into her back. He brought his face close to hers, glaring intensely into her clear violet ones.
"Do you seriously like fucking with me Rukia?!" He spat into her face, his glare darkening. She noticed that her body started to shake from the darkness in his tone. She ignored it and smirked deviously.
"As in a matter of fact", Rukia stated, "I do Ichigo, I love to fuck with you so much, it's just so orgasmic to see you get so pissed off at me…"
"Ha! Don't make me laugh midget… You wouldn't know what an orgasm feels like, because you can never get laid!"
Rukia slapped Ichigo in a split second.
She slapped him hard.
Hard enough to hear it echo down the thin long hallway.
He let her go, his hand automatically covering his left cheek. The stinging sensation didn't phase him, and he grabbed Rukia's soft silky dark hair, making her gasp sharply. Then he simply pulled. The stinging caused Rukia's eyes to tear up as she tried to make him let go of her hair.
"Ichi…Go! Let me the fuck go!" She winced in pain as he pulled harder.
"I don't think I will!" He chuckled, " I think you deserve this kind of pain for torturing me… When I really have not done anything to you at all"
Tears were starting to rush down Rukia's cheeks as he continued to pull. Her body was shaking more harder than it was just moments before. His hand was gripping tightly to the lock of hair as she frantically continued to try and fight his hand off of her hair. She looked up at his face with blurry eyes. She watched him rub his cheek and smirk down at her pain. 'God Ichigo… Please… Please let go… Your hurting me…' the tears were running down more faster as her shaking became more intense.
"I…Ich…Ichigo…Please…" She breathed out. She never thought of herself begging to the person that was her biggest rival. Their rivalry was popular in the whole entire school. Whoever had drama, it wasn't as big as Rukia and Ichigo. Even through grade school, they have been bullying each other like no tomorrow. But it was never like now. He was hurting her, and she did not know what to do.
"Please what Rukia?! I've had enough with your bullshit! 13 years of it… Too long! Yeah, you never would've thought that I would've snapped huh? You really did get on my last nerve!" Ichigo's mouth twitched into a twisted grin than a smirk.
"Ichigo… I'm sorry! Please… let go of me… You really are hurting me!" She cried out, pain bleeding out of her voice. Just with that sound of her voice, Ichigo froze. He let go of her hair, his breathing suddenly becoming heavy. He slapped his hand on the wall next to him, and leaned against it, sweat forming very quickly on his forehead. Rukia grabbed her head, her eyes glazing over the floor as she rubbed the sore spot.
Ichigo's knees gave out, making him collapse to the floor right next to the fallen Rukia. He looked at her, reached out, and pulled her close to his chest as he rested his chin on the top of her head. His sudden move made her gasp, and her body more tense. He ran his fingers through her hair, humming lightly as he rocked his body back and forth.
"Ichigo? What are you…doing?" Rukia asked softly as his arms around her body held her. She blinked in confusion as he continued to rock her. She felt him sniff her hair then sigh quietly.
"I'm sorry Rukia-Chan" He whispered softly. Rukia blushed lightly at the name that he called her. 'Whoa whoa whoa! Chan? Why is he being so sweet all of a sudden?Hehe… I really do like it… I wish I could tell him, but I don't know what he would think. He would probably hate me more and think I'm some freak, and then it all goes downhill from there. My reputation and everything…'
"Hey…" Rukia pulled away, looking deep into Ichigo's eyes, "It's all right Ichigo… We got pissed off at each other. Hehe, we're supposed to… We're rivals right?" Rukia smiled softly which caused Ichigo to widen his eyes.
'Holy shit! She's smiling! I've never seen her smile out of sweetness! She actually looks… Cute… cuter than Orihime! Ha… That's the first…' Ichigo blinked a few times.
"Y…Yeah you're right…" Ichigo looked around and pulled away from her, "I hope no one saw us… Then everybody would be up my ass about it" Ichigo chuckled lightly, stood up and offered his hand to Rukia. She gladly took it, stood up as well then dusted herself off. "I'm sorry I lost myself Rukia… I don't normally do that, you just know how to really piss me off you know?"
Rukia laughed a bit, nodding as well.
"Yeah I know… I just kind of didn't know it pissed you off that much Ichigo. I'll try and control myself?" She rubbed the back of her head. His shook his head.
"No, I just need to control myself… You are completely fine… So let's just forget all about this and go about our business?" He put his hand out for her to shake. She smiled and shook his hand. "Let's stop being rivals… It's tiring… So uhm… Friends?" Ichigo grinned.
Rukia smiled hugely and shook his hand "Most defiantly…Friends" She giggled lightly. "Now, baka… You don't know what an orgasm feels like either! The only action you get is from your hand at night!" She smirked at her come back. Ichigo just shrugged.
"Actually there has been a few times" He smirked as Rukia's jaw dropped.
"Serious?" Rukia blushed at the thought that she was asking the boy about his sex life. He laughed a bit then rubbed her head.
"I'm eighteen, I'm not gonna stay a virgin forever midget…"
Rukia's blush darkened as she pouted slightly. 'Damn… Now it's weird… I thought for sure… Wait, nevermind. Ichigo has a hot body… Of course he wouldn't be.'
"What about you Rukia? You got some action action goin' on with you?" Ichigo winked and grinned. Rukia blinked a few times.
"Oh! Heck yeah! I'm getting a lot of action" She winked back and elbowed him. 'You liar! Ugh, I hate lying… But he would have laughed if I told him the truth…' She looked at the clock a little bit down the hallway. "Uh Oh… Ichigo I think we better get into class"
Ichigo nodded and patted her back quite hard. She winced slightly then punched him the arm playfully. After a few laughs, they finally went inside the classroom to finish off the school day.
"Hey Rukia!" Renji called out to the small girl exiting the building. She turned around and smiled. He rushed up to her, rubbing his head slightly. "What are you going to do with that check? We don't really need it you know…" He yawned.
She shrugged then smiled. "I'm going to give it to Ichigo! He needs it more than we do"
"What's going on between you two anyways? After you both came into the room, you both were all giddy and gay to each other"
Rukia laughed a bit. "Eh, we set off our differences and decided to be friends!"
Renji's eyes formed the size of saucers and his jaw dropped all the way to the floor. "W…What?! FRIENDS?! You two are never friends! You two always hated eachother and wanted to practically kill eachother!!"
She smiled, reached over and tugged a piece of his hair. She stuck her tongue out at him playfully then skipped off past the gates of the school, just leaving him in a shocked state. Rukia rounded a corner and saw a familiar tall orange haired boy. "I…Ichigo! Wait up!" She called out, then booked it up to his side. He looked at her, smiling like an idiot.
"Hey midget! What's up?" Ichigo ruffled her hair for the 50th time. She blushed lightly then handed him a piece of small paper that was folded up.
"Here… You need it more than I do"
Ichigo took the paper from her hand to figure out it was the check from the competition. He grabbed her hand, placed the check back into her palm, then made her hand into a fist. He shook his head for his response to her. Rukia growled and placed the check in his pocket.
"Rukia! This is really unnecessary!" Ichigo whined out.
"Keep it! Geez Ichigo… I said I don't need it okay?" Rukia crossed her arms staring straight ahead. "Please…I don't wanna kick your ass for saying no to me!"
Ichigo smirked. "Excuse me? I wasn't the one begging for me to let go earlier! So who's the stronger one now?"
Rukia growled and pounced on the clueless Ichigo. "H..HEY!!" He staggered around with the new weight on his back. Rukia laughed a bit at his reaction then started to play with his hair. Ichigo mumbled something under his breath as he walked slowly down the sidewalk. They both fell silent as the walk progressed and to break the silence, Rukia started to sing.
"You know I can't smile without you,
I can't smile without you,
I can't laugh and I can't sing,
I'm finding it hard to do anything,
You see I feel sad when you're sad,
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you"
Ichigo chuckled and hummed the tune to the singing girl. 'Wow… For a girl her size… She sure does have a very… beautiful voice…I wonder what we would sound like if I joined in… Hmm' Ichigo cut Rukia off with his singing.
"You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away"
Rukia looked down at Ichigo like he was crazy, but found her heart starting to race again. She grinned then joined back in with him.
"And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile"
Ichigo decided to take the solo part, and sang pretty loudly, catching all the bypasser's attention towards the two, while Rukia sang the back ups.
"Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me"
Rukia giggled at his solo, then joined back in with Ichigo, to make it sound like beautiful perfection. The people that were listening were surprised to hear such beautiful voices sing together.
"And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you"
The two laughed after they finished the song.
"You know… Ichigo… You have a really nice voice, I'm actually kind of jealous" A blush grew on Rukia's cheeks after telling her confession. Ichigo chuckled underneath her.
"Ehh.. I think you have a way better voice Rukia. It's surprising, because you have a small body, yet you have a loud beautiful singing voice" Ichigo laughed a breathy laugh and looked up at the blushing girl. He gave her a truthful smile, only for her to return it with her own smile. "Rukia… I've been thinking… You know how they say that your best friend is your rival? That's how it is with us. Haha. But we're not really best friends, but still… It is ironic. And I actually do like us, you know, being friends than rivals. I'm not so tense when I'm with you now!" Ichigo grinned.
Rukia ran her fingers through Ichigo's hair while she left out a purr. "You're hair is really soft… I love it" She whispered then leaned down to sniff it. 'AHH! Strawberries! So this is where that strawberry smell he has always comes from'
Ichigo turned the corner to face a big mansion, sighing. "Rukia, get off my back now. You're home"
Rukia looked up to see her home then jumped off Ichigo's back, her thighs throbbing from being in that position for so long. She grinned a cheeky grin then leaned up to kiss Ichigo's cheek.
"Thank you Ichigo! I'll see you tomorrow at school!" She patted his shoulder, turned and headed up to the gates of the mansion. Ichigo stuck around to watch her and make sure she got inside her home okay, then after that, he started to head home himself.
'Ugh… That girl, is really weird… But why did I always fuck with her… and why did I lose my edge earlier. Hmm… I really hope that doesn't happen again. Rukia. Yeah, see you tomorrow. Hehe' Ichigo smiled and thought back on his day and his new friend.
