Here's the next chapter. I'm on book 13, Adult Swim isn't showing Bleach fast enough for me. Enjoy!

I stared at the small rectangular box with the label 'Fruit Punch' on it. I didn't understand how they got it in there and I didn't really care, all I cared about was getting it open. I didn't come upon this problem the day before cause I had bottled water.

" Need help?" Ichigo asked. " Use this and poke it through the silver part."

He took the straw and stuck it through the hole.

" Thanks," I smiled. " You're nice, Ichigo."

" What is it with you Soul Reapers and not knowing how to open boxed juice?" He seemed aggravated.

" I've been in the Soul Society for so long, I just forgot," I hung my head. " Since my parents disappeared due to a Hollow, I haven't lived here on earth."

" Hey," He looked at me. " You're not cryin' are ya?"

" No," I shook my head. " It's just…did you defeat the Hollow from yesterday?"

" Yeah," he nodded.

" I see you got your juice to work out," Rukia walked over from sitting with the other girls. " I know my being here is such a shock, I just wanted to-"

" You shouldn't be alive," I tried to keep cool.

" I know," she nodded. " I have Ichigo to thank, he owed me. Anyway, I had the juice problem too."

She smiled and laughed and I got angry for some reason.

" Why, I oughta wipe that smile off your face!" I pounced on her and started pulling her hair.

" Hey look!" One of Ichigo's friends said. " Chick fight!"

A crowd came around us as Rukia and I fought each other.

" I am very disappointed in you two," the principal frowned. " Such sweet girls with such violent tempers! It's uncalled for."

Rukia and I both had a black eye, she had a busted lip, and I had scratches on the side of my chin.

" Knock, knock." I heard a familiar voice.

" Oh Mr. Kisuke and Mr. Tessai!" The principal stood up. " You are Takara's…"

" Her guardian," Tessai smiled. " And this is Urahara, he is her betrothed, if you could even call it that. Her parents died and left me in charge of her. Oh how dreadful it was!"

Rukia and I looked at him and Urahara with a wide eye and they smiled. I had no clue that Urahara had a suit; let alone how nicely Tessai could clean up.

" I'm so sorry for her behavior," Tessai smiled. " This will not happen again, you can be sure of that!"

" I'm sorry Rukia," I apologized sincerely. " I don't know what came over me. I think I was just upset about Ichigo saving you."

" It's okay," She nodded. " This is surprise is enough of an apology."

" C'mon hon," Urahara lead me out of the office. " Let's get you home."

I followed Urahara and Tessai back to the shop, dumbstruck all the way.

" What was that?" I asked once we got home.

" I could ask you the same thing," Urahara smirked. " Takin' out Rukia in a petty fight? That's sad."

" I-I don't know what came over me," I said truthfully. " I just hit her. I don't know why."

" It's okay," he nodded. " I understand."

" No you don't."

" I know. I was just saying that to make you feel better."

" What was the whole betrothed thing about?" I cocked my head to the side.

" We are in a semi-relationship are we not?" He said all-knowingly.

" Yeah, but we're not engaged or arranged," I looked at him.

" Exactly. That was the only way I could say that we were in a relationship without actually saying it. Catch my drift?"

" Not really, but it's okay," I kissed him. " Thank you."

He nodded and I knew that in a short time, I would have to be going back to the Soul Society.
