Chapter: 3/15

Ichigo stared in disbelief at the three people that decided to show up, only three days after he agreed to this little whim of Rukia's and they're already being paid a visit from Byakuya, Ikkaku, and Renji. He didn't appreciate being stared at like he was some kind of freak, he especially DIDN'T appreciate the fact that Ikkaku was laughing so hard that if he wasn't already dead, he would have died from laughing too hard. Byakuya, now he was on a different level of reaction from the others, he didn't show ANY reaction!

Rukia was frozen staring while Hitsugaya and Nanao had a look of genuine interest on their faces, who could blame them? This was going to be an interesting show. "What the hell are you two doing?" Renji asked while holding back his laughter, this had to have been the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen. Ichigo sitting on his ass, on ice, wearing denim pants and a black shirt with the words death in white and a red skull below the words.

"Nii-sama..." Rukia managed to stutter out, the aforementioned mans eyes flickered over to her then back to Ichigo. "What do you think you're doing Kurosaki?" was all the Kuchiki said. Ichigo got back up to his feet and pushed Rukia over to them, "Ichigo!" she yelled in embarrassment, "It was her idea. Bitch to her, not me." he crossed his arms and glowered at the men. Ikkaku grinned in amusement, "What's next the skin tight outfits with the shiny glitter?" Renji smirked at that comment.

"Well whatever it is, Rukia isn't going to be involved with it." Byakuya said in a faint hint of irritation, which yet of course he didn't show in the slightest. "But..." all eyes were on the petite female in the pale yellow short dress. Rukia was clearly flustered, having not expected her brother to end up being involved in this whole deal. "It was my idea, I told Ichigo that if he didn't help me with this then I'd tell everyone that he read shoujo manga." Ichigo's face went beet red and Ikkaku and Renji burst out in another round of laughing their asses off.

"I do not!" he retorted as he whacked her one upside the head, she scowled at him and rubbed her new bump, "You do too!" he was so embarrassed that it wasn't even funny anymore. Though clearly the two morons thought it was, "Do you collect teddy bears as well?" Ikkaku asked in between gasps for air. (Back in the Kurosaki household Kon was overcome with fit of sneezing) .

Renji glowered at Ichigo, "She's coming back with us." the other boy glared back "She got us into this mess she's staying and taking responsibility for her damned mess." lightning flashed between their eyes. "How do we know it wasn't you that blackmailed HER?" Ichigo rolled his eyes, "Who's more likely to follow through with blackmail...me...or her?" the red heads eyes flickered from one to another then back again. "Rukia."

The black haired girl scowled "Not true. I'm innocent and adorable." Renji and Ichigo scoffed "Far from it." they said at the same time before glaring at each other. "I've known you for a longer period of time then Kuchiki-taicho has, I think I would know." Rukia glared at the vice captain "Shut up." Byakuya let out an exasperated sigh, this was honestly getting out of hand, any longer and he would kill the two idiots with out the use of his zanpakutou.

"Enough." The fighting ceased and all eyes were on the taicho "Rukia, we are leaving, now." the captain turned to leave, "I can't do that, Nii-sama." all movement froze with those simple words. Even Rukia seemed taken aback by what she had said, but continued anyways, with that determined gleam in her eyes yet again "What Ichigo said was true, I do need to take responsibility for what I've gotten he and I into. I apologize but I can not go with you."

Byakuya gazed at her with a curious look that still managed to somehow pass as unemotional. She was right, but he wasn't about to give up without a fight. "So be it, but... when this so called competition of yours takes place, I wished to be informed immediately." Rukia's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, with a wide smile she nodded while bowing "Hai!" Renji gave a horrified look "Bu-but taicho!" Ichigo had a victorious smirk on his face as he stood behind the smaller girl.

"Let's go Abarai-fukutaicho." the superior said in an his icy cold demeanor, the subordinate nodded and hurried after, Ikkaku smirked "Don't think I won't tell Zaraki-taicho about this Ichigo, I will." Ichigo frowned as usual and shouted "Just get your ugly ass out of here already!" Ikkaku grinned at the lame comeback but left anyways. Hitsugaya scoffed "Typical Byakuya, as emotionless and stony as a damned rock. Hell even a rock has more facial expressions. Yet he manages to pull it off with tact."

Rukia smiled a small smile "Yes he does. He does indeed." another swat on the head brought her out of her daze. "Come on idiot! We have to get the practice done for today! Let's get a move on already!" Rukia scowled at him then smiled, she knew what the true reason behind him standing up for her was. With a knowing grin, she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him down, just to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thanks Ichigo..." she said before letting him go and skating away.

Ichigo was stunned but when that wore away he was left with nothing but a small smile, with shaping up to actually being worth something. No matter how troublesome it was.
