"Rukia speaking through walkie talkie"

"Talking"

'Thinking'

After Kaien's funeral, the students were informed about Kaien's death. Many students styaed away from Rukia. They knew how close Rukia and Kaien were. If they went up to her, they wouldn't know what to say. Renji, Ichigo, and Grimmjow apologized to Toshiro and they tried to make Rukia smile but she wouldn't. The person that was able to get emotions out of her was Toshiro. The reason he was able to was because he doesn't talk about Kaien or give her sympathetic looks. He knows that she doesn't need that. What she needs is to get her mind off Kaien.

"What the hell is that?" Toshiro asked Rukia when he saw her paper.

"A sword." Rukia said matter-of-factly.

Toshiro blinked. "That looks like a banana." he replied bluntly.

"Wha- It does not!" Rukia exclaimed as she looked closely at her drawing.

The chemistry sensei walked in, not letting Toshiro say anything else. He explained their assignment and they got to work. When Toshiro and Rukia finished their work, Rukia was going to put it in her bag but Toshiro stoped her. "Give it to me."

"Why?" asked Rukia.

"Because I don't want you to think you flushed it down the toilet... again." said Toshiro. Rukia pouted but handed him their assignment.

"Tch. You need a girlfriend." Rukia mumbled as they walked out of the classroom together,

Toshiro rolled his eyes. "I do not and where did that subject come from?"

"You do and that's why I'm going to help you get one." Rukia announced.

Toshiro knew Rukia was only doing this to get her mind off Kaien but this was going to far. "No you aren't." said Toshiro.

Rukia ignored him. "Yes!" she exclaimed. She got Toshiro's by the shoulders and pulled him towards her. "Hinamori. Momo." she said slowly.

"Absolutely. Not."

"Aww, come on! She's probably the only breathing girl who will date you!" Rukia said which was a total lie. Many girls have a crush on Toshiro but they're to afraid to ask him out on date.

Toshiro narrowed his eyes at her. Even if he said no, Rukia would still do whatever she's going to do. He sighed. "Fine. " he moved from Rukia's hold. "But if you do anything funny, I swear I'll strangle you."

Rukia grinned at him. "You have a date with her today at six o'clock at Fimi's Sushi." She informed him.

"Wha- Didn't you barely think of her?"

"Nope! I thought about it earlier so I asked her in the morning." Rukia said. "Here." She took out a walkie talkie and gave him an little ear piece thing.

Toshiro stared at her. "What the hell is this for?"

"So I can help you on the date, of course!" she answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?"

Rukia sighed. "I'm assuming you haven't had a girlfriend... ever, so you don't know how to act around them. Since I'm a girl, I help you in your date. I'll hear what you guys are saying and if you don't know how to answer, I'll help you." she explained to him.

"I'm not doing this." he said.

"Oh yes you are. If you don't, I'll tell nii-sama that you called him a bastard with a pole up his ass."

Toshiro narrowed his eyes at her. "You wouldn't." He didn't say that about Byakuya, but his word against Byakuya's little sister, Rukia has the advantage.

Rukia grinned evilly at him. "Try me."

Toshiro sighed. "Fine."

"Hitsugaya-kun, I'm really glad you came." Hinamori said with a blush as she sat across from Toshiro.

"Me too." Toshiro forced a smile out. Hinamori and Toshiro where at the restaurant Rukia set them up and truthfully, Toshiro already wanted to leave.

"Are you and Kuhciki-san close?" asked Hinamori, after the waiter took their oders trying to start a conversation.

"You better watch what you say." Rukia warned Toshiro through the walkie talkie.

"Er, yeah. She can be a pain in the butt, but she's a good friend." answered Toshiro truthfully.

"I can say the same thing about you, Fluffy." Rukia said. Toshiro's eye twitched at the nickname. It got quiet between Hinamori and Toshiro. "For crying out loud! Ask her a question!" Rukia literally yelled in Toshiro's ear.

'Like what?' Toshiro asked himself.

As if reading his mind, Rukia said to him "Ask her how she's doing."

"How are you doing?" Toshiro asked her.

Toshiro noticed she turned redder when he asked her a question. "I'm g-good. H-how a-bout y-you?" Hinamori stuttered.

"Good." he said.

He heard Rukia sigh. "You are so boring! Ask her if she likes Chappy."

"Chappy?" Toshiro said outloud.

"What?" Hinamori asked him, her head titled in confusion.

Toshir scratched his head. "Oh, um, do you like Chappy?" he asked.

Hinamori blinked. "Oh, yeah. Chappy's cute!" she squealed.

Toshiro groaned. 'Not another Chappy obsessed freak!'

"I'm coming over." Rukia said through the walkie talkie.

"What!" Toshiro said loudly. Then he noticed Hinamori looking at him weirdly. "Er, sorry, I thought..."

"Toshiro! Hinamori!" yelled Rukia as she ran to them and sat next to Toshiro.

Hinamori smiled at her. "Hi Kuchiki-san!" She greeted her.

"Hi Hinamori. You think Toshiro is a boring person?" she asked her.

Hinamori eyes widen. "Of course not! He's very interesting!"

Rukia raised an eye brow at the brunette. "Really? Well, nii-sama said there's going to be a fesitaval next Tuesday at six, sadly I can't go." Rukia said pretending to be sad but titling her head towards Hinamori while nudging Toshiro.

"So?" asked Toshiro not getting Rukia.

Rukia mentally face palmed. Isn't he supposed to be a genius? "So you should go." Rukia said scratching her nose but really pointing to Hinamori.

Toshir who finally got it, said. "I can't go. I have soccer practice."

'Damn! I forgot about soccer!' Rukia thought.

"You're in the soccer team?" asked Hinamori.

"Yes, I was forced into it." answered Toshiro glaring at Rukia.

"Um." Hinamori said not really getting what he meant.

"He means nothing. Anyways, I should get going. The iceberry should happily excuse the peach." she said as she got up and left the restaurant.

"Kuchiki-san is really strange, isn't she." said Hinamori.

Toshiro snorted. "Yeah. Well, Hinamori I had a great time but I must get going. I'll see you at school." Toshiro said as he excused himself. He walked out of the restaurant only to be smacked on the head. "Ow! What the hell was that for!"

"For the most boringest conversation ever!" Rukia exclaimed. She started walking and Toshiro followed her. "You're going to the festival."

"Soccer practice."

"I'll handle that. You're going to ask Hinamori tomorrow during lunch." Rukia said to him.

"Why are you doing this, tell me again." Toshiro told her with a sigh.

"So you wont be lonely." answered Rukia.

"What about you?" asked Toshiro.

"What about me?"

"You don't have a boyfriend." Toshiro said as they got to Rukia's house.

Rukia smiled at Toshiro. "True, but I need to make you happy first." Then she opened her door and went in.

Toshiro turned and started heading home. 'Yeah, but I'm only happy with you, Rukia.'

A/N:

You can see that Toshiro has feelings for Rukia but he's not acknowledging them. What happens when they start realizing their feelings? They deny it and that's what they're going to do in the next chapter. Please leave a review!
