Chapter 8: Wait, What Did You Just Say?
Rukia P.O.V
As I stood there, embracing the guy of my dreams, I heard the distant sound of rain pelting onto the window. I turned my head to see the sky a dark grey color, with the rain falling silently onto the ground. I turned back to face Ichigo, and dug myself closer to him as much as I could, inhaling his scent. A soft knock on the door broke the peaceful silence, and I slowly removed myself from Ichigo's grasp, my hair that was now a ruffled mess.
"Yes?" I answered hoarsely, my throat so dry from crying.
"Miss Kuchiki? May I come in?" a sweet woman's voice called back. I faltered for a moment, but steadied myself, placing my regular business facade back on.
"Yes you may." I replied. The handle turned, and the plainly white door opened with a small squeak. In stepped in a woman with brown long flowing hair, her face still hidden by her hair, and then she turned to close the door behind her softly. She turned back to us and bowed, her hair flipping all to the front.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Kuchiki and Mister Kurosaki. I am Tsuki Gekko." the woman said. She stood back up, revealing her face. My eyes widened. She was so beautiful, almost like a Goddess, I'm not kidding. With a heart shaped face, she had round, beautiful sparkling light magenta eyes that shone with such kindness and serenity that could match my mother's, a perfectly shaped nose, and small pink lips pulled into a small but sweet smile. She had the most perfect body, curves in all the right places, a small waist that even a size 0 would be loose on her, a fairly sized bust, and long slim legs.
"Ah, it's nice to meet you too Gekko-san. Say, if I may ask, who are you exactly?" I asked, my interest piked by this woman.
"I am Tsuki Gekko, head-assistant of Byakuya Kuchiki, and I am this fools current girlfriend." she said the last part with a smirk and a pointed thumb at Nii-sama. My mouth dropped open.
"G-Girlfriend? Nii-sama never told me that he had a girlfriend!" I exclaimed. She laughed lightly, the noise that would make a man swoon under her feet. Just to check, I looked over at Ichigo, who was already on his phone, talking to somebody. I sighed, sometimes him being an idiot comes in handy.
"Well, I guess he didn't want you to find out just yet. He and I have been going through things pretty smoothly, he's pretty sweet when you get underneath the cold exterior. Kinda like ice cream I guess." she smiled as she looked at me. I felt my lips pulling into a smile as I heard her say that. Finally, Nii-sama has been able to forget about the past and moved onto a happier life.
"That's great to hear. I'm so glad Nii-sama found someone he could be happy with." I smiled painfully. It was true, ever since the death of my mother, Hisana, Nii-sama would never spend extra time with me, excluding breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he would never be near me. For a while, I thought he hated me, so I stopped eating with him, and that lead to me moving out of the Kuchiki manor. I knew he disliked me, because I looked like Hisana, so that brought up memories, good ones and painful ones.
"Dear, you make it sound like you're not a person too." I looked up with shocked eyes. She looked at me with sadness in her eyes.
"Your brother, though he may not look like it, loves you very much. Every time we go on a date, he would call one of his servants to keep an eye on you while he was occupied. And when we worked, he would drag the conversation towards you, wondering what you're doing right now, and how you are doing living alone. In fact, the way it sounds, he loves you a whole lot more than me. That's because he's your brother and you're his sister, and he loves you very much. So don't worrying about him hating you." Tsuki said calmly, her eyes shining with happiness.
"And that's what I love about him. He's compassionate about the people he loves." she turned to walk over to Nii-sama, her heels clacking with every step she took. She reached his bedside, and stroked his face lovingly. Almost as if magically, Nii-sama leaned into the hand, his face becoming calmer. Tsuki smiled again, and bent down to his forehead, tucking a loose strand of his obsidian hair behind his ear. I looked at the pair, my heart welling up with happiness. They looked so perfect for each other, the way Tsuki was looking at him lovingly made me smile brightly. A hand touched my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. I blinked, and turned to face Ichigo. He looked at the couple, then averted his eyes back to me and smiled warmly.
"We should leave those two alone, right?" Ichigo whispered. I turned to look at them, Tsuki was now kneeling down, holding Nii-sama's hand in her own. She squeezed the hand before kissing it. She put close to her face and sighed, closing her eyes. I turned back and nodded.
"Right." I took his hand, squeezed it, and we left the room.
The Next Day...
It was another cloudy Saturday in Karakura, and I put my dark purple coat on as I stepped out of my loft door. I walked down the hallway to the elevator, and pressed the down button with one slim finger. After waiting for a couple of seconds, the doors of the elevator opened with a Ding!, and I stepped inside. I pressed the lobby floor button and waited as the doors slid closed. As I waited for my floor, I took out my Iphone, tapping the screen and typing my password, and checked my messages. I tapped the message center button with my thumb, and the screen began loading.
You have 1 new message! The screen said as it popped up. I tapped that, and the message was sent from Toshiro.

Subject: What gives? :(
Message: What the hell Rukia? Ya just hung up on me when you were about to answer. Then you never called back. What happened? :(
Toshiro
I sighed. I forgot to explain to Toshiro. And that's never a good thing. The elevator door opened, and I stepped out. I closed my phone for now, deciding on telling Toshiro later in person. I directed myself towards the parking garage, and walked over to my usual parking place, my dark blue BMW shining back at me as I walked towards it. I took out my keys and pressed the unlock button, making the headlights flash on and off once. I opened up the drivers door and sat inside the car, making myself comfortable, then shutting the door. I clicked in the seatbelt and put the key into the ignition, and the car started with a purr. I drove out of the parking garage and onto the streets of Karakura Town.
After being 30 minutes late, I drove into the parking lot of the hotel. I got out, and made my way towards the lobby, and I went to the elevators. I pressed the up button and waited for the elevator. As I waited, I tapped my foot and glance around the shiny lobby. It looked pretty much like the living room at the Kuchiki manor. In the middle of everything was a large dazzling hanging glass chandelier that lit up the whole room. I turned my head to face the large windows, and that's when I saw a flash of blue and orange.
Eh? I blinked as I looked closer. There outside stood Ichigo... and a tall guy with... blue hair. I remembered the ruffled blue hair and cyan eyes, it was the same guy from the fashion show! His name was Grimmjow Jaggerjackes, the sexta espada in the Los Noches modeling agency. I saw Ichigo talking to Grimmjow, his frown deepened, but my eyes widened as I saw Grimmjow give a feral grin to him and bent down... to... to... kiss him... on the lips! I blushed deep red as I saw Ichigo try to push Grimmjow off, but couldn't due to Grimmjow being the taller, and bulkier man. Once Grimmjow removed his lips, I could see the evident blush on Ichigo's face as he frowned and yelled at the other man. All Grimmjow replied with was a cackle, throwing his head back. After his fit of laughter, he ruffled Ichigo's hair affectionately and said his good-bye with a wave. Ichigo kicked Grimmjow's shin, and the man held his knee in pain. Ichigo crossed his arms and said something else, then stomped away.
What the fuck did I just fucking witness?
That's it for now. I'm sorry for the cliffy, guess ya never expected that huh? Bai Bai for now! :3
