For Ichigo the days passed slower each time but Urahara has been hospitable, he shown him around the school he will be attending with her. He had dreamed of her again however this time their dance wasn't halted they danced and danced both losing themselves in the depths of the others eyes, he wished he could gaze into them violet eyes and never break free.
She was supposed to have arrived yesterday night, so Urahara would be showing her the ropes tonight which was his night off but he decided he would venture out and bump into her accidently. He dressed in black skinny fit jeans, a white button up shirt, after splashing some aftershave on he exited locking up behind him. Whistles and cat calls were issued his but were easily ignored.
Whilst in the club Rukia caught on just like Ichigo just a little less talented but all the same; the male punters hurdled around the bar trying and failing to grasp her attention for longer than the drink name. Lights flashed, alternating in colour, skimming the floor and bodies as passed over. Beats hit the surrounding area and vibrated through the dance floor. Bodies swayed and hearts thumped in synchronisation, sweat dripped freely. Material clung to the sweat bodies accentuating their shapes and sizes, eyes from onlookers grazed the crowds hungrily searching for their next pull of the night.
Violet eyes watched the movement, learning the moves deciphering the next step. She fell into step; the music changed her steps followed, she freestyled creating her own moves to the new beat, the surrounding crowd spread giving her space as she dominated the floor. As she took the floor cheers rang throughout the room, this caught the attention of a young orange haired male his amber glued to her his took him closer to her, he watched at the complex moves she pulled off with ease, music and dance were his passion so watching a little girl own the dance floor.
She let all of her worries evaporate, and clung to the happiness and thrill that she gave into closing her eyes her senses heightened she could not only smell the sweat but taste and hear it slide down her body. Her smile spread on her face highlighting her features the music changed more bodies were added to the floor some trying to imitate her movements. Many broke off forming dance circles cheering those willing to show their moves creating battles for the best.
Just because his dad owned one of the worlds largest corporation's (and vampire king) or also owning half of twilight records also being a singer linked with that industry didn't mean he liked it, girls clinging to him being chased by reporters to give his story on recent break ups between his band members/ friends lucky he could vanish in a second. The music changed he moved and fell into her step following without breaking a sweat, he came out to get away from all the high life and money he had it all and he knew it, his pulse raced they both danced their dances onlookers screaming and cheering others looking on with jealousy in their eyes wishing they had spontaneous moves like.
He glanced at her she seemed familiar somehow but didn't expand on the thought, she was pretty he had to admit that he cautiously moved in to partner her before another guy stole his chance. He smirked when she pressed herself to him grinding together, twisting and turning moving to the tempo, the electric shock came back. He broke away as his phone vibrated, he scowled at the text. 'Its daddy, have you made contact or got…' he didn't bother to read the rest as he slammed the phone shut.He turned to see her going and cursed, he wanted to know her name. He followed when their bodies were together it felt nice, no better than nice it was perfect. Bodies surged forward blocking her form his vision for seconds he fought against it forcing his way through.
Male and female both joined showing their moves to their opposition, the rave music changed to the eighties then to classic dance songs like YMCA, thriller, time warp, Congo and Saturday night and many more almost everyone hit the dance floor joining the merriment. She pushed herself away from the crowd maintaining her course for the bar, strong arms wrapped around her waist trying to pull her back she stiffened upon the act but soon gathered her bearings. Her hands reacted without her knowing and grabbed the poor drunken fool who had attempted to try score with her that night.
She was relentless in her assault it was hilarious to an onlooker a petite woman in stature taking down a full grown man with a biker type of physique tempestuous laughing brought her back to reality as an orange blob entered her vision.
He patted her head like you would a dog "that was brilliant kid but this is a club and-"
"I'm not a kid idiot and I work here and-"
"You're new to Urahara's right?" he cut in.
"I suppose…why do you ask? Are you some type of stalker?"
"Wha- no, I work here helping hat and clog's out...he's family friend"
"Oh, if you'll excuse me I need a beverage and I need to work it was nice talking to ya…"
"Ichigo Kuro- just Ichigo" 'dumbass giving your real name will just give your cover'
"Rukia Kuchiki it was nice meeting ya"
'Where have I head that surname before…oh yeah he's one of those mogul's and nobles that dad deals with but there's no way she's related…she can't be'
After watching her walk away he trudged away with his hands in his pockets, he had to be up early for school. He sighed running a hand through his hair "Rukia Kuchiki…heh" 'hopefully I'll remember your name'
Rukia questioned her sanity as she gave her name out, she didn't even think of the consequences, no she was thinking how his voice was the same as the one as the one at the palace and her initiation ceremony. 'Is that him?' "-Iki-san…Kuchiki-san?"
"Uh…oh sorry I spaced out I guess, what was it that you wanted?"
"Sorry, I'm Inoue Orihime, I don't like it that Ichigo-san is showing interest in something so small and insignificant as you dancing so close, when a few days ago all he did was sit and talk to the owner…if he wanted he could have me so easily I just came to warn you to stay away or-"
"Or what Inoue-san, I'm sorry I'm not accustomed to how English people behave but Ichigo is a family friend and is helping me out as I just transferred here." 'Besides what can a human do to a vampire?' "And if Ichigo show his interest in me how is that any of your concern?" she asked in her fake voice.
"You bitch" she raised her hand to strike out at the smaller woman
"Tut-tut, there's no need for violence…Rukia-san Ichigo-san sends this" intercepted Urahara. Rukia gave a puzzled look at first until the flavour in the air.
"Arigatou, Urahara-san how did you know that I needed a drink?"
Before he could reply Orihime's voice cut through "What is that disgusting smell?"
"Go… it's time for your break, take a seat and relax in there with Yoruichi."
"Hai." 'Did she smell the blood? I'll have to be more careful. Could she be a descendant of a hunter? Oh well I'll have to thank Ichigo…but why didn't he reveal his name unless he couldn't be sure.' She also took a hesitant sip of the beverage, she was about to gulp it when she realised that she had not yet reached Yoruichi she stepped forward only to find out she couldn't move her feet yet the glass still touched her lip she tried to sip at it but nothing moved a dark cold chill passed over her she was still conscious as she could hear and see the goings on in the club.
Yoruichi watched on in fear a Rukia tried but failed to move only those with keen senses noticed, Urahara made to move Orihime but was frozen too, although he remained to have a hold on the volatile woman. Yoruichi dashed as fast as time would let her, whilst dialling Ichigo who'd only just left so he couldn't have gotten that far. "I need your help Rukia and Urahara are frozen but this girl has hunter qualities these strange abilities that seem to stop time."
Ichigo cursed and veered back to the direction he had previously vacated, as got closer he noticed he began to slow but pushed harder so as not to be seen by a normal human. He barrelled through the back exit and noted what Yoruichi described; fury was lit in the grey orbs of the auburn haired female Ichigo stepped forward fighting against the gravitational type force that slowed his movement almost to a stop but his willpower won in the end.
"Inoue-san please calm down and let my friends go, they haven't done anything right?" Ichigo could feel the electricity coursing through his body as he aligned with Rukia, his dad explained the electrical thing to him and it only happened near another female vampire yet when near her it surged. He knew it was her, he'd checked the most recent births and deaths from purebloods and she was only one his age, her eyes showed worry and fear but they weren't for her no they were for him.
He scoffed "I know but think of yourself not me," he whispered when he took a hold of her and moved her to the VIP suite. He appeared back in the spot that he had just left. "Inoue-san please listen, it will not solve anything acting this look at what you're doing to me and my friends, please don't hurt them I caused this not them hurt me instead come on I'm a vampire give me your best shot."
Rukia watched from afar but she heard his words as clear as day that broke what was cast over her as she screamed "No, don't you dare! -"
"Rukia just shut up and stay where you don't move" shouted Yoruichi Rukia froze but not from the other force this time it was because of the harshness mixed with panic in the tone she had just used.
"Arigato gozaimasu Yoruichi-san"
"Heh it was nothing."
"What's it gonna be are you gonna hurt me and let them go or am I going to have force it out of you?" 'I don't want to hit a girl but she's threatened both the life of my friends and the woman whose been haunting me dreams begging me to find her and now I have I won't let anyone not even myself hurt her.' "Come on choose…that's the ultimatum or we can forget any of this happened and become friends." 'hopefully I can pull this memory thing I haven't done this in awhile except that time I smashed Yama-jii's vases and managed to make the maid forget and blame the cat…please work for the sake of Urahara, Yoruichi and Rukia.
The auburn became confused as she looked into his eyes they were lulling her to sleep and help her out of this mess. 'I want to fight this but what he's offering sounds so much better than what I was thinking why?-' she collapsed the force dulled almost instantly he sighed in relief but that was short lived when her was slapped across the face and head by two separate hands.
"Fool, what did you pull?"
"Simple I made her forget…"
"That's interesting Ichigo-kun I was thinking you did the same thing with Yama-jii's vases and blamed the cat and you even persuaded that maid to forget and to this day she won't ever regain that memory unless you give it back."
"H-how did you know that? I was just thinking that… an-and"
"Simple I read minds"
"Is that why you hide behind that stupid fan?"
"Why of course you never know when something is interesting so I tune in I hide behind it to hide my knowing smiles etc, etc."
"Don't do that shit with me."
"Of course not" he relayed with a mocking bow.
Ichigo forced Rukia to drink the rest of the cocktail before they left. "Don't argue just drink it'll stop the thirst for awhile, moreover I made that, come on we're in the same apartment block and plus we have school in the morning …midget…"
"Idiot…wait then"
"Are your short legs working harder to keep up or something?" she kicked him in the shin.
"Oww"
