A/N IM BACK! Chapter 2. I DON'T OWN BLEACH, just the plot, thanks for the reviews, I figure I should write more just cause I feel like it.

Chapter 2. The Trig Happy Bet

Looking into his amber colored eyes, Kuchiki Rukia could not help but seem just a little interested in this boy that seemed to have some kind of staring problem. It was like as if he had never seen a cheerleader before in his life. Then again she had never seen a boy with orange hair in her life either.

"So... umm do you have any hobbies?"

Rukia looked at Ichigo still holding her genuine smile. At least he was shifting to the initiative asking the questions first this time.

"Well, I like to dance, sing, collect bunny dolls..."

Ichigo just stared at her violet eyes, losing his grip of reality and of what she was saying. Her eyes were like the depths of a dark ocean, full of mystery, yet splendor.

"Hang out with my friends, play basketball, kick box, karate, kendo, and beating up jerks."

Ichigo didn't catch those last hobbies, quite correctly, or so he thought so.

"Wait, wait. Can you repeat what you just said? I think I heard wrong"

Rukia arching an eyebrow looked at the boy with a frown starting to form on her lips.

"Well, I said, I liked to play basketball, kick box, karate, kendo and beating up jerks, especially ones that don't listen to me the first time"

Ichigo was starting to get a little irritated. He barely even knew the girl for five minutes and she was already insulting him. And she did kendo, karate, and basketball? Ichigo was not sexist, but he just couldn't believe a cheerleader who was especially so small and fragile looking, can do all those things.

"Um you sure you can play basketball? Karate? " A smirk started to rise from Ichigo's face as she saw the girl's head starting to form a vein clearly stating she was not happy at what he was saying.

Well, she got me pissed off, its only fair if I returned that favor, Ichigo thought. Might as well finish his thoughts.

"And, you surely couldn't beat up people, that's for sure, I mean, I bet you couldn..."

Ichigo's life flashed between his eyes. He remembered a blur of what seemed to be a hand and before he knew it he was on the ground, arms locked behind his back, with the same petite raven-headed girl on top of him, one foot standing triumphantly on her fallen aggressor.

Mrs. Ohara and the class heard the ruckus and witnessed the position Rukia put Ichigo. Suddenly, the class burst out with more laughter, more than the first time. Ichigo felt so embarrassed. Not only was he found staring at a girl for the first time in his life, but now by that same girl, his ass was handed to him. In the same day, the same class.

Maybe he was wrong bout this day turning out for the better.

Still giggling, Mrs. Ohara, secretly wanting to absorb the scene a little longer, had to be the mature one in the room.

"Kuchiki-san, whatever Kurosaki-kun had said to you, I am pretty sure it does not deserve humiliation towards his classmates."

Again the class roared in laughter. Rukia then turned her head sideways giving out a small hmph, and let Ichigo go. Ichigo didn't know what was more painful. The aching of his back, or the fact that he had to get up and face the roaring crowd of people.

The girls, that were already attracted to the handsome 17 year old, just oogled their eyes on to him with the look of concern, and Rukia felt the glares radiating from the other females. She didn't care, the guy deserved it.

RINNNNNNG!

Class was over, finally. Ichigo got up packed his things and began to head out towards the door. Laughter being heard from behind him, his head fumed at the thought of what that damn raven-headed girl did to him.

"Bitch" he muttered.

A group of guys were following Ichigo, and began to tease him.

"Carrot-head got his ass kicked!"

"Well deserved"

"He gets beaten up by a girl, how pathetic."

The boys renewed the roaring of laughter, until one boy, stood up with a smirk and yelled out.

Ichigo, this time using his mind, decided it was well not worth it to pick a fight again. Instead he headed towards his next class. Boy, this was going to be a long day.

As he entered his calculus class, he took his seat where his name had been labeled. Then, she came in the room.

Dammit. Ichigo thought. List that made my first of school hell. 1. Piss off raven girl's friend 2. Got her embarrassed in front of the whole class, 3. Made fun of her hobbies.

HE didn't want to have to add more to his list, because every time he did, he always got something negative out of it.

"Its you again"

Ichigo looked up, thinking about his list, he didn't notice the harbinger of pain enter the room. Ichigo refueled from the previous event looked at her and gave her a glare. She glared right back at him and if looks can kill, Ichigo would not be breathing right about now.

RING!

"Okay class take your seats." Said the old teacher, with a goofy hairstyle, and the hair color of a polar bear's fur.

Please call me, Mr. Quang, And good morning to you all! I hope you kids feel good, today because you have a pop quiz to start off the new year!

The class groaned. Oh this could not be good.

"Don't worry though, the quiz is only considered one question and is worth 25 points."

So in other words, it's a pass or fail test meaning that if they failed, they start the school year with a 0 in math. Wonderful. Many of the students began to sweat, how nerve wrecking.

"But, assuming since most of you did not study, I will give you a lucky chance. You are too pair up to your classmate across from you. IT will double your chances, on getting the problem right! Now isn't that fair?"

The class only let out louder groans. 1, 2 , 3 people? Did it matter? Everyone knew that no one studied for this stupid quiz, let alone it being a pop quiz.

Rukia was horrified. She hated math. She had a list of her strong points. That included fighting, sports, cheerleading, English, Japanese, History, and business, but not math. Anything but math.

She turned around to face her partner. She sighed with the deepest regret. Surely the carrot-head boy was just as dumbstruck as her. She was doomed. She could imagine the big F on her forehead now.

"Well now good luck, and have fun!"

Mr. Quang then initiated the test, by handing out each pair of students one test sheet. As Rukia got hers, she just stared at it blankly and with horror.

The problem was worth 25 points, but the problem itself was a gigantic trig table. In the table, the directions asked to find all 6 different types of trig functions, and label them to their corresponding quadrants. Rukia looked over to see if any of her friends were having any luck, all of them shared the same expression she had. Clueless, and horrified. She then turned her head to her partner.

The boy looked disinterested in the problem.

" By the way class, you have 15 minutes Enjoy!"

Not a sound of pencil could be heard for the first 5 minutes. This was insane! This was not fair! He can't give a quiz that no one can answer! Ichigo looked at the raven-headed girl who seemed to panic with immense fear. He didn't like that look.

"Well, aren't you going to solve it."

Rukia glared at him with intense agitation and hatred.

"I would if I could dumbass, its quite obvious you don't know shit either. And don't tell me to do all the damn work, because its your fucking grade too." She whispered heavily.

Ichigo just looked at her, and yawned.

"Here if I do it, will you calm down. ... Ichigo thought for a bit and a smirk had appeared on his face. And, ask for forgiveness for what you done today this morning.

Rukia looked dumbfounded. Why did she have to apologize! But then again the clock was ticking, and she wanted this A.

"Fine, I will apologize, only if we ace this!"

"You also gotta call me master for the next week"

She glared at him and Ichigo was sure that she mouthed out the words of What the F#$.

Ichigo just kept his smile, and looked at her with the eyes of, is that a yes or no.

With just 6 minutes left, she had no choice but to oblige.

With her nod, Ichigo snatched the paper from her. Rukia was found to be staring at Ichigo. There he was, scribbling numbers down like lightening. Drawing out triangles for references, and finding the reference angles for the trig functions. He had finished in roughly 3 minutes.

"Here, least you can do is right our names on it. You gotta do some work."

Rukia, still speechless, obediently took the paper, and wrote down their names.

"Well times up! Hand me your papers now!"

The class mumbled curse words towards Mr. Quang, as they handed their papers towards the top. After collecting all the papers, Mr Quang smiled and told his class, "Well their will be no lesson today, for I am going to grade your papers right on the spot to tell you your scores! Isn't that exciting!? Well for the rest of the period you have free time, so please socialize with your friends. After all it is the first day of school!"

With that Mr. Quang sat down at his desk and began to grade the quizzes.The class, taking advantage of the free time that they were given, began to discuss with each other how hard the pop quiz was.

"That test was unbelievable, there is no way anyone got anything higher than a 2 on that crap."

"Yeah man, it was impossible."

Rukia was pondering at the deal she had just made with the carrot-haired boy. Ask for forgiveness, and call him master for a whole week? That boy sure was cocky. He probably just scribbled random numbers, just so that he can act all smart and tough.

"Oi Rukia, how was that test for you?"

Rukia raised her head to make eye contact with her friends, Renji, Rangiku, Hinamori, and Ikkaku. Renji and Ikkaku both being basketball players, and Rangiku and Hinamori on the cheerleader squad.

Ichigo only took a quick gaze and looked back. Figured, she was probably a snob after all. All her friends seemed to be like it.

Renji stared at the orange-haired freak, but decided to ignore him for now, he was not worth his time.

"I didn't know anything. I think I failed."

How cold, Ichigo thought. He did all that work, yet she didn't believe that he had done a legit job. Let alone she specifically left him out of the equation, that he was her partner and that it should be we instead of I.

"Well no worries, we'll just complain if no one gets a high score. He cant just give everyone here all F's for the beginning of the semester." Renji stated.

"Yeah." Everyone agreed in unison.

"Besides if Rukia couldn't do it, I know no one else here can!" Hinamori stated with quite her usual cheerful tone.

Rukia, wanted to object, but deep down she knew it. Although she was not good at math, it didn't mean she sucked at it. Like any other strong point that just came to her head naturally, she had to study math hardcore, before getting the simplest concept. The fact that she had no time to study or prepare for this pop quiz, was what led her to her downfall. Other wise she would have studied all night to pass it.

"All right class! I got your scores!"

The class groaned. IT was like waking up from a nightmare, only to face another one.

"Now, the school rules apply, that I can not read off your scores out loud publicly, so if you want to know how you did, I will call your name in alphabetical order, and just respond yes or no if you want to know! With that said

Abarai?

"Yeah"

"0"

The class would usually laugh, but they realized their mortal fate. They probably received the same scores as he did.

"Benisuke?"

"Yes"

"0"

The list when on and on.

"Hinamori?"

"Y-yes"

"2"

The class cheered. Someone seemed to know what they were doing.

"Congrats, Hinamori, it seems you're the smartest one of out all of us this year" Rukia had said with a wide smile across her face.

Hinamori, just blushing a little for the flattery rose her head and looked at her friends.

" It was a fluke, I just guessed and I got 2 out of 25 numbers right!"

Sweat drops formed and Rukia and her friends just smiled for the sake of friendship.

"Haha, well! Good job anyhow!"

"Kuchiki?"

Rukia gulped. She didn't want to know her grade would be a 0. That would mean she would have a 0 in the class. Nii-sama would not be happy with this. Although it was frightening, curiosity overcame her.

"Y-yes."

"25"

The atmosphere grew thick. Rukia knew all eyes had laid on her.

"Congratulation Kuchiki Rukia, Kurosaki Ichigo! You are the only ones to have aced this test with flying colors!"

Renji, Hinamori, Ikkaku, and Rangiku just stared at their friend in disbelief.

"That's... that's amazing Rukia, where do you your brain of yours? " Renji stated.

"Oh my cutie! Reminds me to partner up with you when it comes to math groups!" Rangiku had said.

Hinamori looked at Rukia and smiled. "Expect nothing less from my best friend!"

Ikkaku just stared at the ceiling, clearly not caring.

"So how did you do it?" Ran-chan asked.

"Yeah! How did u do it? Do tell" Hinamori exclaimed.

Rukia was speechless, but before she could gather her thoughts, the carrot head said it for her. So Kuchiki-san, how did you do it?

Rukia looked at him, and opened her mouth, then closed it with a frown. She bit her lip and looked towards the side.

"Because of you, Master Kurosaki."

Boy was her week turning bad.

Her four friends couldn't believe her ears.

"Rukia, what did you just call that scum bag over there?"

Ichigo smirked and looked at her again. "Well Kuchiki-san what did you call me?"

Rukia had it all planned out. She would go home, take a picture of Ichigo's face, paste it towards wall, and kick it a thousand times until it shattered into a million pieces.

"Master Kurosaki..."

RING!

Ichigo doubled in laughter. Well, Miss Kuchiki, I will see you around. Remember we have to meet for our getting to know each other project!

Ichigo got up took his books, and walked off towards the door leaving the dumb struck Rukia and friends behind.

Before he left, he turned around, his usual scowl lessened and looked at Rukia with eyes that read "haha take that bitch" and exited the doorway.

"Oh when I get my hands on him." Renji started to mutter, and began to pursue the orange-headed dog.

"No Renji, I made a bet with him. I told him I'd call him master if he would ace the test."

"WHAT?!"

Her friends let out a gasp!.

"Long story, ill explain on the way to lunch."
