Chapter 5:
"Rukia it's time to wake…. What the hell happened to your bed?" her mother said waking her from her sleep. Rukia raised her head sleepily and looked to her left and saw the bed that was broken from the fight she had last night, then looked back to her mother who was standing next to the closet by the door with her hands on her hips and looking angrily at her.
"Umm… it's broken." She simply replied.
"I can see that Rukia, but how did you manage to snap your bed in half?" Her mother replied angrily with a cold glare.
"I don't Know how it broke it just simply broke I guess." Rukia said unable to find an excuse or unable to tell her how it really broke.
Her mother sighed and turned around to leave the room as she said. "Whatever Rukia just get yourself ready for school and come down to have breakfast."
Rukia groaned while she was getting up of the futon she put on the floor last night. Rukia walked sleepily toward the closet and slid the door opened and was surprised when she didn't find Ichigo in there. 'The strawberry got up early this morning.' She shrugged at the thought and grabbed her school uniform and went to take a shower.
After her shower Rukia got into her school uniform and put her pajamas into the basket for them to be washed then went down stairs to have breakfast.
"Rukia you mother told me that you broke your bed last night would you mind telling me how you did it?" her father said as she took her seat at the table. Rukia winced at the cold tone in her father's voice and replied "I don't know what happened to the bed it just snapped in half."
"That's not a very good explanation Rukia. But the money for a new bed will be coming out of money me and your mother put into your bank account."
Rukia groaned but nodded her head in acceptance.
"Rukia your father and I won't be home tonight, he's taking me to dinner for our seventeenth Anniversary." her mother said with a smile on her face as she placed a bowl of fried rice in front of Rukia. Rukia picked up her chopsticks and started eating her breakfast. When Rukia had finished her breakfast she got out of her seat and grabbed her bowl then walked to the sink were her mother was mother was washing the dishes and placed her bowl on the sink and gave her mum a kiss on the cheek before she went back up to her room and went through her school bag to make sure she had everything in it. After Rukia got her school stuff ready she went down stairs and went to the front door where her dad was standing waiting for her.
"Rukia I'm giving you the house keys so you can get back into the house after school because me and your mother won't be home, please try not to lose them and no boys over while I'm gone got it Rukia." Her dad said as he handed her the house keys.
"Don't worry dad I won't lose them and I know not to bring boys home okay, see you and mum when you get back from dinner tonight." Rukia replied then gave her dad a kiss on the cheek before walking out the door heading to school.
When Rukia got to her classroom Ichigo was in his seat looking like his head was about to explode because Keigo was standing at Ichigo's desk with his face into Ichigo's face just shouting at him. Rukia just shook her head and looked to Orihime's desk where she was surrounded by Tatsuki and some of the other girl's she hangs around with at lunch.
"Hey guys." Rukia asked as she walked over to her group of friends.
Orihime and Tatsuki looked up and smiled as they replied at the same time. "Good morning Rukia."
"Good morning to uses two." Rukia said with a smile. Rukia frowned when the girls groaned.
"What's wrong?" Rukia asked.
"Well Keigo hasn't stopped yelling at Kurosaki-San because you were with him all day yesterday then Orihime said that she saw you and him walking home and when he heard about it he wouldn't leave Kurosaki-Kun alone." The short brown, curly haired girl said.
Rukia looked at Ichigo and his face was red with anger and looked like he just wanted to explode. Rukia was going to reply but was stopped when a thin teen with short red hair with bangs that part on both sides of her face. She has purple eyes with and is wearing a red framed glasses and her Karakura high school uniform.
"And Mahana Don't forget get what happened to the beautiful Hime." The red head said as she ran up to Orihime's and gave Orihime hug. "I Hope my Hime-Chan is okay I don't know what I would do with my Hime-Chan." The red head said as rubbed her cheek against Orihime's, which until a fist collided with her stomach and she was on the floor moaning in pain with Tatsuki standing over her with her with her fist clenched. "Chizuru, why do you keep touch Orihime when you know you're going to get hurt." Tatsuki yells as she stands over the moaning Chizuru.
"Tatsuki what happened at Orihime's apartment." Rukia ask even though she already did she thought it would be a good idea to ask.
"There was an explosion at her apartment last night leaving a hole in her wall, and lucky she wasn't hurt from the explosion." Tatsuki answered.
"I'm sorry to hear that Orihime. I'm glad that you weren't hurt from it." Rukia said with sympathy in her voice since her house was attacked by a hollow as well. Not that they need to know that.
Orihime was about to say something until there was a thud and cries of pain and when everyone look towards the source of the noise they see an unconscious Keigo with his head between his leg and then they look were they last saw Keigo and saw Ichigo standing with an angry glare with a red face.
Rukia and her group of friends are shocked when they hear Tatsuki laugh out loud and shock's Rukia with what she says next
"Rukia I like your boyfriend already." Tatsuki said with a laugh.
Rukia blushes and then yells. "Tatsuki he's not my boyfriend." After Tatsuki had finished laughing the teacher walked into to classroom and told everyone to go to their seats and didn't notice the unconscious Keigo on the wall beside her.
At lunch Ichigo was invited by Rukia's friends and Keigo well more like dragged by them to their spot. When the group got to the eating spot, Rukia and Ichigo was bombed with questions by the group. They didn't really care about the questions; the only question that bugged them especially Ichigo was the ones Keigo asked.
"RUKIA-CHAANN, why did you leave me for the orange haired kid my beautiful flower?" Keigo asked with tears flowing down his cheeks.
"We are not going out." Ichigo and Rukia yell together but Keigo wouldn't stop asking questions.
"If you're not going out with him then why were you with him all day yesterday?" Keigo questioned again.
"Like I told you before Asano, she was showing me around the school now shut up." Ichigo answered for Rukia with a growl.
"But then why after school yesterday you and Rukia walked home together." Keigo asked dramatically.
"How many times do I have to say it Keigo?" this time it was Rukia how answer him. "Ichigo moved in next door to my house."
Keigo still wouldn't leave the topic and just kept asking question which he ended up getting two fist to the face one small hand and a massive hand connecting to his face sending him a couple of meters back.
"Are you sure uses two aren't going out, you both have anger issues." Said the boy with short black hair that's parted down in the middle with a small stray bang in his face, he has grey eyes (A/N: I think he has.) with a young face. He is wearing the Karakura high school uniform with the school jacket.
"Shut it Mizurio, just because Keigo doesn't know how to shut his mouth and me and Ichigo end up punching him doesn't mean we have anger issues and it doesn't mean we're going out got it." Rukia said in a threating tone which made Mizurio nod his head in agreement.
It takes a couple of minutes for Keigo to get back up from being knocked down by both Rukia and Ichigo.
"So Ichigo you want to fight huh? I would have blocked your punch but if I did I would have hurt my sweet Rukia-Chan, now come on Ichigo we will have a battle of manliness and the winner wins Rukia's heart." Keigo challenged Ichigo as he tried flexing his biceps and then was knocked over again from behind.
The guy who knocked him over was a muscular and extremely tall person of Mexican descent. He has wavy brown hair that's covering his left eye and show is right eye which is brown. He's wearing the Karakura high school uniform, and also seems to have bandages on his forehead as well on his arm.
"Why do you always knock me over when I'm trying to prove my manliness to Rukia-Chan, Sado?" Keigo whined. Everyone looked at him and they noticed to the bandages he was wearing but Orihime was the first one to ask.
"Sado-Kun what happened to you." Orihime asked with worry.
"A steel beam fell on my head." Sado answered as he pointed to his head and showed his arms and continued. "And yesterday after school a motorcyclist rode into me and I carried him to the hospital." Everyone looks at him in awe and Ichigo is the first one to recover.
"What are you made of?" Ichigo asked Sado in shock. Sado looks at the Ichigo and shrugs his shoulders and walks over to Ichigo and holds out his hand.
"Hi names Yasutora Sado nice to meet you." Sado said
"Nice to meet you to Sado, names Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo replied shaking Sado's hand.
"Hello nice to meet you to Kurosaki-san, my name is Yūichi Shibata." Said the Cockatiel in the bird cage Sado had just put down. Rukia's eyes widen when she gets this strange feeling that's coming from the Cockatiel and looks at Ichigo who has the same expression on his face as well.
"Cool Sado where did you get a talking bird from?" Keigo Asked with excitement.
"Someone" Sado said then paused for a few seconds then continued talking. "Gave me him."
"Hold on there you go again, getting lazy and making your story short come on. That's a bad habit you have Sado. Now explain how you got him?" Keigo complained with a pointing finger as Sado was sitting down in front of the bird cage grabbing a packet of chips.
"That was the whole story." Sado replied as he opened a packet of chips.
"There you go, just like you always do. You never tell the whole story." Keigo continued to complain.
As Keigo was complaining Rukia was still looking at the Cockatiel with Wide eyes.
Ichigo looks at Rukia again and saw she was still shocked about the bird and decided to say something since her friends were too busy with the bird and wasn't paying any more attention to him and Rukia.
"Don't worry Midget, there is something that is in that bird but I don't think the spirit in it is evil." Ichigo said getting her attention.
"Don't call me a Midget strawberry. But what kind of spirit is in it then?" Rukia said the first sentence in with a growl.
"I don't I think it could be a lonely soul that didn't have much or any friends, but we can't leave because it can still become a hollow so tonight we have to give the bird a Konsō."
"Just great, just what I need another night killing hollows and doing Konsō's to souls." Rukia complained with closed eyes.
Ichigo chuckled as a reply and said. "A Shinigami rarely gets breaks because it's our soul duty to protect the World of the living from hollows and there are a lot of hollows Midget". Ichigo's midget comment got him an elbow to the ribs.
After school Rukia and Ichigo are walking waiting for the sun to go down but as they walk past the hospital they see Sado limping out of it.
"Hey Sado what were you doing in the hospital?" Rukia question as she and Ichigo ran up to him.
"Hey Rukia, I was at the hospital because I got burnt on my back." Sado replied. Rukia and Ichigo's eyes widen but not from what he had said but from they are sensing which is coming of Sado.
"Okay well I hope you get better Sado." Sado nods his head and starts walking off with the Cockatiels cage and the Cockatiel.
"Ichigo did you-"
"Yes I sensed it; Sado had the stench of a hollow, must be from that burn he said he got on his back." Ichigo said cutting Rukia off.
Rukia and Ichigo went back to her house Ichigo walked through the front door as well since her father took her mother out for dinner. Ichigo and Rukia stayed up in the room for an hour til Rukia asked. "Ichigo, how are we going to find the lonely soul because we don't know where it is?"
Ichigo looked at Rukia and took his time to answer the question. "We just have to wait for my pager to let us know when hollow shows up and hopefully it'll be the one after the soul in the Cockatiel."
Rukia just looked at him like he was crazy. "Strawberry you idiot we can't do that what if it's not the hollow that after that soul. Isn't there an easier way to find it?" Rukia yell.
"Well midget you can try sensing it but it doesn't have enough spiritual energy so I'm not sure." Ichigo replied back.
'You have to try and find its spiritual energy huh? Maybe if I concentrated enough I might find it.' Rukia thought and closed her eyes to try and find the soul in the Cockatiel's body. Ichigo is in awe with what he sees happening in front of him. Rukia is sitting on her brand new bed (which they spent an hour building.) which white spirit threads circling her.
'How the hell is she able to do that? Only high level Shinigami's can do that. She is able to fight hollows with no problems and her sword skills are incredible. It's like being a Shinigami is second nature to her.' Ichigo thought in surprise. Ichigo just watched her for a few seconds until she grabbed one of the white threads.
"Found you." Rukia said as she pulled on it and it showed in which direction you go.
And if on cue Ichigo's pager went off saying there was a hollow nearby.
"Looks like we found our hollow to midget because it's in the same direction that the threads going." Ichigo said as he looked at his pager then grabbed out his soul glove and put it on his hand.
"Good then Carrot-top because I can't be bothered going all around Karakura." Rukia said allowing Ichigo to take her out of her body.
"We'll put your body into the bed so if your parents come home and check on you it will look like you fell asleep instead of having your body lying on the floor looking like you had dropped dead." Ichigo said looking at Rukia's body. Rukia nodded her head and lifted her body of the floor and Ichigo pulled the blanket down so Rukia can put her body into the bed.
"Come on midget let get going." Ichigo said just before he dropped out of her window. Rukia Jumped out of the window and she and Ichigo ran in the direction of the spirit thread.
