And that's a long time ; P
Me: I don't own Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist or Naruto. Not that those two have anything to do with this.
Chapter 4: So That's The Truth.
"Why do you want to talk to Rukia?" Ichigo asked with a slight pissed tone. Today of all days there guys show up?
"That's none of your concern boy. Now bring her here"
"Why do you want me?" Rukia asked standing next to Ichigo. The man with the 69 tattoo smiled at her.
"Hello Ms. Kuchiki, I'm Hisagi and this is my partner Gin" the smiling man smirked a bit more, if it was even possible. "We would like to speak with you in private if that is possible?" he said motioning to Ichigo.
"Uh sure, Ichigo go away" she shooed him.
"I leave when they do" he said with absolute finality in his voice.
"You don't have any purpose her Ichigo" Gin said. Rukia looked at Ichigo and saw some anger in his eyes. Why was he staring at them like that? Why wouldn't he leave her alone?
"Who sent you and why? Answer my questions and I would gladly answer your own hollows" Ichigo said crossing his arms. Both men smirked.
"So you must be Kurosaki huh? Tales of you have traveled back to the head. You look like nothing more than a high school student"
"I'm much more than just a high school student and unless you want the tales of me busting your ass geting back to head I suggest you leave Ms. Kuchiki peacefully."
"Ms. Kuchiki? Hollows? What are you guys talking about?" Rukia asked hating the fact that she knew nothing they spoke of.
"I see you haven't told her. I guess we shall, Ichigo Kurosaki is-
"None of your concern, and I suggest you leave my house now before I call Byakuya from his office" Hisana said behind the two teens. Gin and Hisagi looked at her before walking off. Ichigo shut the door and turned to Hisana. "They are trying many different tactics. I didn't think they would be this direct. I'm glad you're here Ichigo. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't"
"Well you won't have too. My assignment is to protect and I will do just that"
"Protect? Hollows? What would have happened? I'm so confused!" Rukia said throwing her hands into the air. Hisana led her to the couch and Ichigo followed. They sat down and Ichigo leaned against the wall watching them.
"Rukia, I think it's time you know something. Your father is being targeted from a terrorist group of hollows run by Sosuke Aizen" Rukia was left shocked. "He was contacted with a call informing him to keep you close. Taking precautionary measures he called a government organization called Gotei 13. And they sent one of their shinigami to protect you"
"So those guys at the door were hollows?" Rukia asked as her mind sunk in all the information. "And that means Ichigo is my…." She turned to wear Ichigo was standing only to see him gone. There was a clicking off a door closing and Rukia turned to face her mother. "He's my bodyguard?"
"That's why he's here and following you. That's why you need to go up there and apologize to him. All he did was watch out for you and all you did was trash talk him" Rukia felt a pang of guilt shoot through her. She nodded and stood up.
After knocking on the door and hearing a come in Rukia slowly opened the door. What she saw made her jaw fall to the first floor. Ichigo stood there with a wet hair clinging to his face. He had on no shirt blessing the eyes of Rukia with his washboard abs. he wore loose fitting pajama pants that puddled a bit at the floor. The waist hung loosely around his waist giving her a sight of the orange hair and defined V on him.
"You need anything?" he asked putting on this white V-neck t-shirt. Ichigo walked over to his bed and plopped down with one knee up and both hands behind his head. Rukia never stopped to notice this because she was too caught up with herself, not that she would admit it, he was pretty hot.
"I…um….well….since….i guess that i-
"No need to apologize Ms. Kuchiki. Now that you know, you owe me nothing but co-operation. I didn't think you would allow me to do my job but you saw for yourself."
"Oh, okay. I guess I can do that then. I don't want to get hurt" Rukia said fidgeting a bit.
"Anything else Ms. Kuchiki?"
"Yeah don't call me Ms. Kuchiki, its Rukia"
"Okay Rukia"
"Happy birthday and goodnight Ichigo"
"Thanks, and goodnight midget" Rukia turned around and walked out the door. When she closed it did she process his sentence.
"HEY!" she screamed. She could hear his heavy voice laugh a bit and felt her cheeks heat up a bit. Rukia sighed and retreated to her room. He may have won the battle but the war sure as hell was hers.
…..
The next morning was different. Ichigo was still up and ready before Rukia, but this time she didn't give him any trouble. Hisana watched as the two ate their toast. She picked up her orange juice but couldn't drink it due to potential laughter.
"Maybe we should have had those Hollows here earlier" Hisana joked. Byakuya managed to curl the left side of his lips up.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Rukia whined. Ichigo finished his own coffee before getting up.
"Rukia let's get to school now" Rukia nodded and got up following him out. When they got to the car she was about to get into the back seat when he locked it. "Front is open now" he smirked as she climbed into the passenger's side.
The ride was so far silent until Rukia couldn't take it anymore.
"Why'd you join the Gotei 13 and become a shinigami?"
"I wanted to continue my father's legacy and…I wanted to?" Ichigo said. The second part was a lie. He didn't want to, he had to.
"Okay I am like a super good liar so that 'I wanted to' thing was totally a lie. You don't have to tell if you don't want" Rukia said. Usually when she said this to her friends they would tell her whatever it is right away. Then again Ichigo wasn't like her other friends. Wait, was he even a friend?
"Where're here" Ichigo said getting out his car. When Rukia did the same Renji stood there with his arms crossed.
"Hey Renji what's up?" Rukia said smiling.
"Why are you in a car with him again? And how come this time you're in the front seat? And why didn't you return my calls and texts?" he said.
"Whoa you don't own me. I mean they guy's living with me; he might as well drive me to school. And I was asleep before 8 last night" Rukia said before walking away. Ichigo held in a smirk and followed her to class.
…..
When they were home, Rukia and Ichigo sat across each other at the island table eating some left over cake from Ichigo's 'birthday'. Just then Rukia's phone went off and she put it on speaker.
"Ello?" she asked with some cake in her mouth.
"Rukia oh my god! You're living with Ichigo KUROSAKI and didn't tell us?" Rangiku complained.
"Um…I should let you know he-
"We don't care about that right now!" Momo cut in. "You live with THE HOTTEST guy in school and couldn't spend a second to tell us!
"OR MAYBE SHE DIDN'T HAVE A SECOND!" Rangiku screamed.
"What are you talking about?" Rukia asked. Ichigo watched and listened with fasinactoin.
"Maybe Ichigo had you busy all day….huh…" Rukia chocked and spit her cake out, some crumbs landing on Ichigo's face.
"What the hell you damn midget! you just spit cake on my face!" Ichigo said pissed.
"Well not my fault my friends said that!"
"Well it's your fault for having those friends"
".GOD. ICHIGO IS THERE AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US!" both girls screamed.
"Well I tried earlier but you cut me off. I'm bored talking now, later" Rukia hung up. "Don't let that shit go to your head, your egos big enough"
"Says the girl who can't pass a mirror without stopping to look in"
"Hey why don't you shove-
Rukia was cut off when a lough banging on the door came. Ichigo tensed up and went to answer it. He walked to the door and peeped through the hole. He didn't see anyone and figured it was some kids pranking. When he walked back to the kitchen, he saw a man dressed in black with gloved hands on Rukia's mouth and the other with a gun to her neck.
Rukia's eyes were wide and filled with fear. Ichigo processed the situation slowly and came up with a few ideas.
"What do you want?" Ichigo finally asked.
"The girl and you don't get hurt" Hisagi said.
"What if I don't want to give her up?" Ichigo countered.
"Well then I'll use force and take her." He pointed the gun to Ichigo. "I can't wait to tell Aizen I killed the great Ichigo Kurosaki." Hisagi pulled the trigger back and released. Within a second the bullet was sent flying. And within that second Ichigo managed to run to the side grab a butcher knife (a/n: lol what's with Ichigo and butcher knives?) and throw it at the man.
Rukia watched in fear as the blade came flying towards her. She waited for the pricing feeling or metal but it never came. She slowly opened her eyes and wondered when she closed them. That's when Rukia noticed the hands on her were gone. She turned around to see the man on the floor with a blade in his chest where his heart was.
Hisagi was about to get up when Ichigo hopped over the island counter and grabbed the gun from his hand.
"Can't wait for Aizen to know I killed the Hisagi" Ichigo mocked before shooting him in the head. He heard a whimper and remembered Rukia wasn't used to the violence. "Shit sorry about that…..maybe I should have killed him when you were gone"
"N-no….he would have just g-g-gotten back up and…a-attacked again" Rukia said trying to convince Ichigo as much as she tried to convince herself.
"You don't sound so certain about that. Go to your room and I'll clean up." She nodded and walked up the stairs.
Ichigo looked down at the dead body below him. He stood up and pulled the knife out.
After cleaning up the blood and broken glass from the window the bullet Hisagi shot hit Ichigo called his analyzer.
"Schiffer, yeah I got something for you. A body of hollow Hisagi and I want you to tell Ishida to look up an Aizen. I have reason to suspect he may be the head of the hollows."
"okay" came the stotic voice. Ichigo hung up and wondered. What would happen if you trapped Ulquiorra and Byakuya in a room together.
"Maybe we should feed them Zaraki's brownies" Ichigo smirked before washing off the blood. Just then the door opened and Byakuya walked in. He looked from Ichigo to the knife then to the body.
"Rukia okay?"
"Yes sir"
"And you"
"Fine sir"
"Good" with that he walked off to his study.
Oh yeah, he needs a batch of those brownies.
