WOW! I had a lot of reviews! Thanks everyone!

Also, just to let people know, none of these follow each other unless they say so. (IE: Pt. 1 / Pt. 2 / Ect.)

ANYWAY, I haven't been to the doctor in six years, so if this sucks, SORRY!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or the characters.

Doctors Suck

Rukia had decided that the doctors on Earth sucked.

She decided it the second she stepped into the waiting room with Ichigo at her side. She hid behind him when she saw all the sick, coughing and/or hurt people. He rolled his eyes and walked up to the front desk, saying that Rukia had an appointment. The nurse handed him a clipboard and he walked over and sat down on a chair, taking the pen in his hand and filling out when he knew. He then asked Rukia, who was sitting beside him, what he didn't know.

"Are you, have you ever been or are you currently trying to get pregnant?"

Rukia turned sharply to glare at him and said, "No."

"Fine. What year were you born . . . never mind. Scratch that one. We'll say you're Eighteen, like me.

Rukia looked away until his voice interrupted her again.

"Rukia, where do I say you live? I can't exactly put 'Ichigo's closet' on the information sheet," Ichigo asked, putting his pen to his lip as he stared at his sloppy writing.

"Just put your address," Rukia said, going back to looking around the waiting room. Ichigo began to protest, then, seeing that she wasn't listening to him, just groaned and put it down.

"What's your middle name?"

"Huh?"

"Middle. Name. Should I go slower?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia jabbed him sharply in the stomach. "I don't have a middle name. I was too little to know it before I died, and I never got the chance to ask Hisana," she said, turning around in the chair to face him.

"I'll put Hisana, then," Ichigo said.

Rukia was going to protest, but then nodded; she liked it.

Ichigo continued filling out the sheet, muttering under his breath as he did so. He finally said,

"Rukia, you don't, by any chance, have Social Security do you?"

All he got in the way of an answer was "Huh?"

He mumbled something under his breath and sighed before not writing anything down.

"OK. Done. Let me go turn this in."

Rukia nodded and continued looking around the room as he stood to his feet and walked up to the front desk.

The office actually was rather pretty; the walls were an off-white and the carpet was a light, sky blue. The only windows were the doors, but the beautiful pictures of pretty places in winter, spring and autumn gave the office color. In the middle of the room was a two-sided row of chairs, most full. In the far corner beside the door that, as Ichigo had explained, led back to the other offices where the doctors saw the paitents, was a play station where several sick kids were playing. Where she was sitting was just a row of three chairs in between the doors for the woman's bathroom and the men's.

"They said they'll call you in in about ten minutes," Ichigo said, snapping her out of her thoughts as he sat back down beside her.

"Why can't you dad see me?" Rukia asked, sniffling as her nose began running again.

"Because he somehow wormed his way into going away with Yuzu and Karin on their camping trip," Ichigo said. "He won't be home for a week and you had a fever of 103.2 this morning."

Rukia sighed and sat back, leaning her head on the closest thing to her; Ichigo's arm. She really didn't feel that good; her throat hurt, her nose was runny and she was aching all over. And now she was hot.

Finally, about twenty minutes later rather than ten, a doctor pocked his head out of the door and said, "Rukia Kuchiki?"

Rukia stood to her feet and Ichigo followed. But as she was about to walk in, Ichigo was stopped.

"Sorry, only patients and family back here."

"I'm her boyfriend," Ichigo said, earning a sharp glare from Rukia. But he knew that they would let him back if he actually was her boyfriend.

The doctor nodded and walked back, showing Rukia into a room where she sat down on the white bed and was instructed to put on a white gown.

Ichigo turned around.

Once she was laying down, the doctor came back in and began her check-up. He asked how she felt; she said horrible. He asked what her symptoms were; Ichigo had to answer because she didn't know what he meant. He asked if there was anyway she could be pregnant; she coughed, turned bright red and said no.

"Well, I think it's just the flu, but I want to take a blood sample, OK?"

Rukia nodded, but changed her mind when she saw that he planned to use a needle.

"I don't like needles," she said shamelessly, sitting up and backing away from the doctor. Ichigo walked over and said,

"It doesn't hurt much. And it'll only take a second."

Rukia still looked doubtful, but nodded, anyway. The doctor, who had said his name was Ryuu, smiled gently and turned to Ichigo, who was still standing next to Rukia. He said,

"Hold her hand."

Ichigo nodded and reached over, taking her small, pale hand in his own rough, scarred one. The doctor tied a rubber-band around Rukia's arm and then inserted the needle; Rukia winced and gripped Ichigo's hand, watching as her blood filled the small tube. She looked frightened.

Ichigo put his other hand on her back, gently rubbing it as the doctor took out the full tube and put in the second one. Rukia was still staring at the needle, scared as the red liquid filled the clear tube.

As he watched her, Ichigo was surprised. She was scared of getting her blood taken, but she had seen so much worse than this. So much worse.

When the doctor was done, he gave Rukia a bandaid that had a bunny on it and she smiled.

"I need to check a few things, still. Since this is a routine check-up, I need to check weight, height, and eyesight, OK?"

Rukia nodded and stood to her feet, changing back into her dress when Ryuu said she could. Again, Ichigo turned around.

After he was done with the basics and her chart was full, Ryuu said,

"You have written on your chart that you haven't had any of your shots. Is that right?"

Rukia nodded her head.

"Well, it is very important that you get those. Come with me and I'll ask Sakura to do that for you, OK?"

Thirty minutes, four shots and a very tired Rukia later, they were leaving the office with Ichigo promising to pick up her prescription at the pharmacy and to bring Rukia back in a few weeks for a follow-up.

When they jumped into his car, Rukia leaned back in her seat, her eyes closing.

Ichigo asked,

"So, how did you like the doctors?"

She muttered, "Doctors suck," before falling to sleep, her hand over her bunny band-aid.

As I said, I haven't been to a doctor in about six years, so I don't remember everything. :P So live with it, and flame if you want! (Smiles)
