Author Note: I'm so freaking pissed. I actually had this finished last Friday, but couldn't upload because I had to go to bed. Then, for the next few days, I couldn't log in because there was a fucking GLITCH in the server. Damn ffnet people... did this happen to anyone else? Because I went on both my computers, my mom's labtop, and my PSP, and I STILL couldn't log on to upload. Ugh... Anyway, now that that's out of the way, after this chapter is the beginning of a new arc! Yay! No more random hatred on both sides! Oh, and sorry to those of you who don't really dig random insanity like that last chapter, not sure exactly what came over me. Anyway, 83 reviews, wow. Waaaay more then I was expecting. The next chapter should be updated soon, like I promised.

I Hate Everything About You (Why Do I Love You?)

Chapter 8: Movie Madness

"You should've been there Karin! You would've had some much fun!" Rukia cried, and I rolled my eyes. Did she have to keep bringing the party up?! A few days ago, Ryu had thrown a huge party, and invited a bunch of people, myself included. I'd wanted to go, but Ichigo found out there was alcohol, told my dad, and the two joined forces to make sure I didn't leave the house that night (I know, shocker. I almost died too).

On the bright side, I was still recovering from the whole Nel-Team Hollow-Aliens episode, so the extra rest might've been a good thing.

"Do you have to keep reminding me about that?!" I demanded irritably, for the negatives still out weighed the positives by... a lot.

We were at soccer practice, practicing squaring up and one touch drills. It's really easy, in my opinion, but Zaraki insists we do it (only several more months until soccer season actually starts!)

"I know, I'm sorry, but I can't help myself!" Rukia said, passing me the ball. I passed to Chad, and the two of us jogged back into line. "Ryu kept asking for you, it was so cute!" She said, and I blinked, skeptical.

Rukia saw romance between Renji and the teddy bear he slept with every night. Don't ask. Just don't. So, naturally, I found it difficult to believe what Rukia was saying. Not only that, but I thought of Ryu more as friend then anything else. Sure we went on a date, but it wasn't like we did anything.

"Yeah, sure." I told her, and Rukia frowned.

"You don't believe me, do you?" The sable haired girl complained, and I shrugged.

"Never for a minute." I said honestly, and Rukia stuck her tongue out me. I rolled my eyes- how childish.

"He said he wanted to get you something for Christmas!" Rukia said hotly, and I blinked.

"...Does he realize Christmas passed already?" I asked, and Rukia blinked.

"Uh, you can never be too early!" Rukia said hastily, and I snorted. I wasn't buying it for a minute. Rukia sighed and then gave up, dropping the subject.

"Hey, I'm having lunch with Ichigo at four today. Wanna come?" Rukia asked, and I felt surprised.

"Won't Ichi-nee be mad?" I asked, and Rukia shrugged.

"Probably, but we can consider it pay back for not letting you go to the party." Rukia said with a devilish smile, which I returned. I was liking Rukia more and more as I got to know her.

"See you then." I said, and Rukia nodded.

"Yup." She said, neither of us paying attention to a certain pale haired boy.

"Dad, I'm going out!" I called, walking out the door with a sullen Ichigo and cheerful Rukia in tow.

...

"WHAT?! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!!!! NOT TO A PARTY I HOPE! DELINQUET SON, PROTECT HER WITH YOUR LIIIIIIIFE." My idiot father screamed, bounding down the hall and throwing himself at us. Barely even making any facial expression, Ichigo, Rukia, and myself all kicked my father in the groin. He crumpled over, wheezing and hunched over in the fetal position, unable to move or speak.

"Thank god." I muttered to myself as we walked out, completely ignoring our incapitated father. Yuzu would take care of him. We walked over to the familiar, nearby shop, run by some weirdo named Urahara Kisuke. According to Ichigo, he made fucking good sandwiches.

Ichigo walked up to the front and barged in, blatantly ignoring the quiet girl sweeping the patio of the shop. Rukia and I walked in to see... a red head boy hitting stuff with a broom stick?

"Yah! Hah! Kerchah!" He yelled obnoxiously, making a fool of himself. Attempting to spin around and chop at the air, the boy missed and smacked Ichigo in the face. This cause him to loose balance, and the two went crashing into rows of merchandise.

Rukia and I stared at the mayhem as spluttering and swearing Ichigo grabbed the red haired boy by the scruff the neck.

"Jinta, you little fucker!" Ichigo yelled, and the boy clutched at his throat, turning as red as his hair. I recognized him as a kid in my grade, though I didn't know him personally. A soft chuckle filled the room.

"My, my Ichigo, whatever happened to manners?" Came a voice, and I turned around to see- the dandy from the summer soccer team. I probably could've said a lot of things, but what popped out of my mouth probably wasn't the best choice.

"Are you gay?" I asked, and Rukia choked in surprise, while Ichigo dropped Jinta. But gimme a break, the guy was holding a freaking fan. And he didn't help his case by laughing the stupidest laugh I've ever heard in my life.

"Oh ho ho, of course not. I can assure you, I am one hundred percent straight." He said, fluttering that stupid fan in front of his face. I rolled my eyes, not entirely convinced, before shrugging.

"Whatever. I'll take a special." I decided, while Ichigo and Rukia placed their orders as well, and Urahara smiled cheerfully.

"Coming right up! Jinta, what are you doing on the floor? You and Ururu have work to do, especially with Tessai on vacation." He said sternly, and the red head groaned.

"C'mon Uryuu, we have work to do." The boy said sullenly, and the girl who had been sweeping the patio appeared as if drawn by a magnet. It was creepy, especially since she had this really expressionless face. The two marched off somewhere, while Urahara started humming under his breath something that sounded suspiciously like Barney's Theme Song. I gave Ichigo an incredulous look.

"Please tell me you're not serious." I said, and Ichigo just shrugged.

"He makes a hell of a good sandwich." Ichigo said, and I rolled my eyes.

"He's not making anything at the moment." I objected, and Rukia snickered while Ichigo frowned.

"Good point." He admitted, and everyone sighed while Urahara facefaulted. Several minutes later Jinta gave us our food and we started to eat, happily munching away at the sandwiches.

"So, whas dof yoush gauys wanaf do todoyf?" Ichigo asked with his mouth full, accidentally spraying Urahara with bread crumbs and salami.

"Sorry." My orange haired brother said, while Urahara wiped the food off with a disgusted look on his face. Rukia rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's incompetence while I snickered, before Rukia replied.

"I was thinking we could go see a movie. You know, that brand new one featuring Chappy the Rabbit?" Rukia said, getting stars in her eyes, while Ichigo and I exchanged glances.

"Umm... what about the new one with that guy who goes around chopping people up and serving them in meat pies? I heard it's really good." Ichigo suggested, and I smirked. That sounded more like my style.

"I don't know." Rukia said with a frown; "It sounds like a macho movie. I'm not really into macho movies. I prefer ones with romance or Chappy in it." My brother and I sweatdropped, then Ichigo sighed.

"Uh... I think there's a little singing in it." He admitted, and Rukia squealed.

"Really? I love musicals! Let's do it!" Rukia said happily. We both sweatdropped, but nodded anyway.

"Uh... yeah. Something like that. I'll invite a bunch of the guy's." Ichigo said as we got up and left. Rukia blinked, surprised.

"Why would you do that?" She complained, and Ichigo shrugged.

"Why not?" He asked, already pulling out his cell phone, and I smirked. Sometimes my brother could be so dense.

"...Never mind." Rukia said with a sigh.

"It's cold out." Ryu observed as the two of us waited outside with several others from the team, murmuring quietly to one another. I nodded; of course it was cold out, it's the middle of January for god damn sake.

"Hehe, careful, I heard some guys have had their balls freeze off in this weather." Ikakku said with a leer, and I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up Madarame." Ryu said, annoyed, and the bald headed boy laughed with his weirdo friend Yumichika. Then came that annoyingly familiar voice that I hated.

"Look what the cat dragged in," The voice drawled, and I gritted my teeth.

Toshirou Fuking Hitsugaya is right behind me, isn't he? I shouldn't even be surprised anymore. I thought to myself irritably before turning. Sure enough, there was white haired hottie in all his glory, glowering at me.

"What's she/he doing here?!" We demanded at the same time, then scowled at one another.

"Stop it!" We said. Then-

"Alright, that's it!" We both shouted, striding towards one another, only to be restrained by, in my case, Ichigo, and in Toshirou's case, Chad.

"Ah, be nice you two." Came the voice of Matsumoto as she flounced over, smiling broadly. Before the fighting could get violent, Renji called over to us.

"Oi, what are you meat heads doing? Let's get a move on!" He called, and Toshirou and I exchanged deathly glares.

"Little bastard." I muttered as we walked into the theatre.

"Stupid wench." He responded, and I prepared myself to punch his smug face in. Before I could, however, Rukia grabbed me and steered me away.

"Calm down wildcat." She muttered, and I gave a disappointed sigh. Damn, and here I was hoping I could send him flying off to Timbuktu.

"Hey, Rukia, when we get inside, I'll sit on one side of you, and Ryu can sit on the other side, alright?" Rukia muttered, and I blinked. Huh? "Then if we're lucky, you and Ryu will hook up during the movie!" Rukia squealed happily, and I frowned.

"I only think of Ryu as a good friend, Rukia-neechan." I said sincerely, and Rukia shrugged.

"Well, you never know. And it's obvious that Ryu thinks of you as more then a friend." Rukia teased, and I blinked, confused. Though I'd jokingly referred to the time at the coffee shop as a date, I really only considered it time to hang out with Ryu. The thought that Ryu might like me made feel confused, though I pushed it aside.

"Uh, sure." I replied weakly, unsure how to respond. "Whatever." We got into the movie, and I took a seat next Rukia and Ryu, Ichigo next to Rukia. As the previews started, I watched it with bored eyes. The previews were usually my favorite, but all of the movies looked incredibly stupid.

Then the actual movie started.

It was gruesome, with lots of blood and death and a little bit of singing from insane people. I liked it (hm, I wonder if this means anything. No matter). All the same, it quickly grew boring, though Rukia kept distracting me by letting out little squeaks and burrowing into Ichigo's arm.

"Touch me and you're dead." I told Ryu casually, who shrugged.

"Whatever you say." He said, and I could've sworn I saw him smirking. Choosing to ignore him, I looked down and saw Toshirou's messy white hair, glowing softly in the dark. I noticed that the back sort of flattened out, and could make a good... platform.

Grabbing some popcorn as the inkling of an idea came to me; I lightly tossed one at the boy. It hit his head and bounced off, but Toshirou didn't seem to notice. Grinning, I grabbed some more and made another toss, but this one was too low, and whizzed past his head. Surprised, Toshirou turned around.

"What the heck are you doing?!" The boy demanded, annoyed, and I smirked.

"Oops?" I said, eyes wide in mock innocence.

"Did you throw that at me?" He demanded, and I frowned.

"I don't know, did I?" I asked, trying to be as obnoxious as possible. And succeeding.

"Leave me alone you little freak." Toshirou said angrily, and several people attempted to shush us, Rukia and Ichigo included. I really hated it when people did that, and apparently so did Toshirou.

"No freaking way am I going to shush!" We both said, minus the freaking on Toshirou's part. Pompous bastard.

"Calm done." Ryu whispered, attempting to pacify me while doubled over in his seat, trying to contain his laughter.

"Hell no!" I said, still glowering angrily at Toshirou.

"Be quiet!" Came another person.

"Karin! Toshirou! Please stop." Ichigo commanded.

"Yeah, if you don't shut up I'll have you kicked out," Some random idiot called out. "I swear, one more word and I'll-"

"The movie sucks anyway." Toshirou interrupted darkly, and the voice continued on.

"One more word and I'll have an usher kick you out!" The voice finished with a note of triumph in his voice. Ironically enough, he'd become as loud as we had in his 'righteous' indignation. Cocky braggart.

"Come on you two, please..." Matsumoto pleaded, which shut us both up.

"Fine. Just leave me alone you crazy women." Toshirou muttered. "Crazy wench." He added under his breath, which I heard. Standing up, I grabbed the ice cold soda Ichigo had brought me and dumped it all over Toshirou's head.

"AAARGGGHHH!"

"I can't believe you two got us kicked out of the movie! Now we'll never know what'll happen!" Ichigo said angrily, and the two of us stared angrily at the ground.

"Are you alright Taicho?" Matsumoto asked, looking as though she was trying to stop herself from rolling on the floor with laughter for the livid Ichigo's sake.

"Do I look fine? This maniac just dumped soda on my head!!" Toshirou yelled angrily, and I shrugged.

"You're an asshole, you deserve it." I said, and Toshirou glowered but did nothing.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Ichigo yelled angrily. We both paused and looked up at the furious boy, whose face was now as bright as his hair. And that's saying something.

"Toshirou, just... go home. And you, Karin, have got a lot of explaining to do to Yuzu as to why we're back early." Ichigo snapped, causing me to stare at him in horror.

"You're kidding me right?" I asked, and he grimly shook his head. If he told Yuzu, she might start yelling at me, or worse... she'd start crying. Oh shit.

"Let's go Rukia." He muttered, and I vaguely caught a few of the final words Rukia was saying to Matsumoto before going.

"... need to get them to learn to work together- oh, time to go?" Rukia said, looking flustered at the sight of Ichigo and I waiting for her. Matsumoto seemed unperturbed, however, and waved good bye to her friend.

"Don't worry Rukia-chan," She said, a chesire smirk on her face as she turned away. "I've already got a plan."

Oh, what could Matsumoto be planning? You'll have to keep reading to find out! Bwahahaha! Anyway, there's one story I read that got 100 reviews by their fifteenth chapter. I want to try to beat that, so my next goal is to hit one hundred reviews. If everyone reviews again for this chapter, we should make it! Whoever's the one hundreth reviewer get's a special prize from me! So R&R! Ciao!
