Preparation

Ichigo was waiting for Rukia outside the school gate. "Where is she?" He said as he looked around, not even noticing that he was talking to himself; but then again, no one was around to accuse him of doing so either. He kept looking around for another good two minutes, in search of Rukia.

"That girl's going to make me late. Ive got homework to do. What an inconsidera-" The small and slender figure in front of him had made him stop in mid-sentence, as he shifted his gaze and lowered his head, in order to have to look at her.

"You were saying?" She had been standing in front of him, arms crossed, for about a minute, wearing an authoritive look on her face as she interrupted the complaining substitute Shinigami. "Nothing," He huffed.

"Well then, c'mon we need to pack!" She said as she pulled him by the wrist.

As they reached the front of the Kurosaki household, Ichigo had continued through the gate and into the front door to enter his house, while Rukia climbed up somehow and entered through his window.

----------------------------------------------------------

After dinner, Ichigo took little bowl of rice and whatever they had had for dinner that wasn't eaten, and went up the stairs. The tall teen gave Rukia the tray of food and sat down on his study table and started to do his homework. Rukia was eating her dinner on the floor while reading the list that Ms Mayuki gave her that morning.

"Ichigo," she said looking at the list "Where can I get this ka-kamera things?"

I. Am. Not spending money just for her to get a new camera. He thought as he tried to do his complicated Maths question.

"Oi! Ichigo are you listening? Oi!" she threw him a book. The hardcover type.

She meant to hit the back of his head with it, but Ichigo turned around at the last second. So it smacked him square on the face.

"What the hell was that for?!" He said rubbing his now very red nose. Note to self: never ignore Rukia whenever she has a book near her.

"Well, that's what you get for ignoring me!" Rukia stuck her tongue at him. " Anyway, where can I get this…" she glanced at the list she was holding. "…camera thing?"

"What am I supposed to do? Buy you a new camera?" He got back to his Maths question.

"Well, why don't you? We have to bring this remember?"

"Pfft, as if. Do you even know how expensive a camera is?"

"No." She pouted and took a sip of her soup. "Ah! Why don't you ask your father?"

"As if he'll let me… And besides I just know we'll end up fighting. Stupid old geezer."

"How about your sisters?"

"Fine…" He was tired of her suggestions anyway. He got up, leaving his maths book open on his study table and went to Karin and Yuzu's room.

Karin's room

Karin was laying on her bed, stomach down. She was listening to music while reading a manga. Ichigo came in and asked her if he could borrow her camera.

Karin dog-eared the page and closed the book. She then took off her headphones that she was wearing. "What happened to yours?" She asked accusingly

"It's… it's broken…" he lied.

"Why don't you ask Yuzu? I'm not giving you mine… you'll just break it like you did to yours."

"Aw, please…"

"No. That is my final word. No. Ask Yuzu ok?" She put her headphones back and and began reading from where she left off.

Kitchen

As he entered the kitchen, Ichigo saw Yuzu washing the dishes. He asked the same question to his light brown-haired sister.

"Yuzu, can you lend me your camera? I need it for my school camping trip."

"Can you ask Karin, Ichi-nii? I'm a bit busy now…" The brown-haired girl said as she scrubbed a sticky pot.

"But she said to ask you."

"Okay. Get it from my room it's on the side table, Ichi-nii."

And that's what he did. After getting the camera from Karin, he went back to his room. The tall teen gave Rukia the camera and got back to his Maths question.

Rukia looked that the camera from every angle, trying to figure out how to use that device. In the end, she couldn't figure it out so she asked Ichigo. " How do you use this? Ichigo! Teach me!"

"Can't. I've got extra homework to do. Remember?" His voice showed a sense of annoyance.

"Don't say like it's my fault!" Her hands were on her hips "I didn't ask you to pass that note."

He ignored her and tried to do his Maths homework, constantly cursing the tricky question. Realizing that Ichigo wasn't going to help, the female shinigami crept in Yuzu's room to 'borrow' some of her clothes…

Ahaha! Umm… that was…bad. But, what do you think? Bad? Very bad? Very, very bad? Or okay? Lemme know by reviewing! 
