Hunt Me Darling Fifth Bite: Phone Wires
"Is it really important for me to be with you?" Rukia huffed as she twirled around on the stool at the dinner, "Yeah, I need you to come down and take a wiff of the body again, we got a witch to come in and work at removing the spell, she'll be in in about two or three hours."
"So in the mean time I what? Look at the floor?" he shrugged, "Read? The station has some magazines and a few books." he replied as he took a drink of his coffee, she frowned, "Do I get one phone call Officer~?"
"Psh, why do you need one? You aren't a criminal are you?" she smiled and took a bite of her cheeseburger, "I need to call my friend Orihime and tell her about my little problem." she replied, Ichigo nodded, "Yeah, whatever." he replied, she took in a deep breath and closed her eyes briefly, she had to get everything under control... if he found out the truth... she shook her head and stole a french fry off of his plate, squirting some ketchup onto it from the bottle, "Hey!"
"Sharing is caring." she said with a hum, moving their plates to be between them instead of directly in front of each other, Ichigo snorted and took an onion ring from her, "Fine fine..." he muttered back.
"How long do we have to wait around here before that witch gets here?" Rukia asked with a sigh of frustration as she sat near Ichigo's desk, bored out of her wits. She had already finished the book she had with her and Ichigo wouldn't let her out of his sight as he scribbled around some paperwork, "That's kind of up to the witch." he replied, she yawned and rubbed her eyes, "You have a really boring job Ichigo..."
"Want to make it more interesting?" he asked with a smirk, wiggling his eyebrows. She looked up at him, smirking right back, "What do you have in mind, officer?" she said leaning closer to him. "I can think of a few things..."
The two stared at each other with Rukia breaking away. "You I could go for a snack right now." she said.
"But we just ate."
"I know, now give me money." she commanded.
Ichigo reached into his pocket and gave her a dollar. Rukia happily skipped down the hall to the vending machine. She paused to look at all the different choices but a voice snapped her out of it.
"Hey, I haven't seen you around here before." she heard, looking up to see a tall man with spikey blue hair standing behind her, "Oh... yes... I'm uh, new."
"Aha, what division are you in?"
"Um, homicide."
"Under Kurosaki aye?"
"So to speak..."
"Ah, that Kurosaki... he gets all the hot one." she smiled lightly at his flattery, "What about you?"
"I'm in vice." he replied, flexing his muscles, she smiled at him and swayed slightly, "You mean... like from that old American TV show? 'Miami Vice' right? Do you live on a boat with an alligator and stuff?" he grinned at her, his teeth slightly elongate, "Ah no no, I live in an apartment downtown."
"Downtown, nice."
"Yeah, it's a pretty nice setup, if you want maybe you could come check it out sometime." he replied, leaning against the wall, she leaned against it as well and just noticed the pay phone only a few feet away,"Well if you ever feel like that old hard-ass is pushing you too far there's always a spot for you with me." he said, she giggled at him and looked away, "Say Mr..." "Jaggerjaques, Grimmjow Jaggerjaques."
"Jaggerjaques? That's French isn't it?"
"Wee Mad'am," he chuckled, she smiled, "Mr. Jaggerjaques... do you mind lending me some change for the pay phone? I spent all my money on this junk and I really need to call my roommate." he nodded and started digging frantically into his pockets for some change, giving her a handfull of it, "If you get bored with that stupid ass, my office is right down the hall, I'll leave the door open." she smiled at him, "I'll keep it in mind." she said back.
Grimmjow nodded to her and walked away, making her sigh in relief as she ran to the phone and started sliding coins in, 'Thank goodness I learned how to flirt young...' she thought with a shiver as she waited on Orihime to answer the phone, ah men... werewolves or not they really were all like dogs, the slightest bit of attention and they get so excited they nearly spray you.
"Ah Rukia! So glad to hear from you!" Rukia heard on the other end of the phone, she made sure to glance around and check to see if Ichigo was there before speaking, "Orihime I need to ask you something very important."
"O-Of course, what is it?" the young witch replied, "Orihime... there was a murder here recently, a vampire attack actually, and it was covered up by a witch... you haven't covered up any murders recently have you?"
"Of course not!" Orihime said in a hurt voice, "I figured, I'm sorry, I just had to ask."
"How will you figure out who the murderer is?"
"We aren't sure, Ichigo has a witch of his own coming here later to try and get the spell undone."
"That's good, do you have any ideas on where your necklace is yet?" Rukia snorted, "Yeah, you won't BELIEVE where I found it!" she said as the two kept chatting.
"Wow, it sure did take a while for you to get some crackers huh?" Ichigo asked as Rukia walked back into his office, "Well you know, those stupid machines of your's .. not only did my crackers get stuck but so did my apple juice, so I had to kick both machines to get my stuff, then I got lost and walked in on some guy and his task force." she said, waiting for a response, either he would believe her lie... or be completely unphased... "I think the department should put their next paycheck into getting better vending machines." he replied with a snort, "I mean we have enough police dogs not to mention PLENTY of police werewolves, we really don't need to train more." she nodded slowly and sat down."Don't you, as the sheriff, control the finances?"
"No, that would be the mayor and he's an idiot, I'm the one who does all the work. He doesn't even KNOW he lives in a kingdom full of werewolves, and HE gets to decide if we need a new vending machine or another German Shepherd." he said with a huff as he leaned back in his chair, "Doesn't the mayor do anything?"
"Nothing besides cheating on his wife."
"I'm guessing neither of them are werewolves then."
"Nah, but their daughter is."
"How did that happen?"
"Mating, she and her fiancee' wanted to have a little nookie before the wedding and she's a wolf now, 'course, her parents would have a FIT if they knew." he replied, "Ah..." she mused quietly, opening her apple juice and taking a drink of it as she sat down on his desk, his hand rested on her upper leg and he looked up at her, "I wish you were human, it would make things so much easier." he mused, she scoffed, "Vampires feel it's a curse to be with a human.. now why would a werewolf want that?"
"It's fun, having a human mate, oh sure, it's harder than a werewolf but... it's fun, you get to protect them all the time.. and if they're human, when you mate, you know that it's YOUR werewolf genes flowing into them, YOUR genes turning them. Their werewolf side, is completely from you, and that's a bit exhilarating." he said seriously, she stared at him for a moment, his hand still on her upper leg, she leaned back a bit, "Ichigo..." she muttered, he pulled away from her and got up, "I have to go talk to someone about one of my other cases, so stay here and I'll be right back." he said, standing up, "Wait." she said, grabbing him by the arm, he looked down at her and she wrapped her legs around his."What?" he asked finally, a bit confused, "Ichigo... we're enemies, we aren't meant to get along with each other," he sighed, "I know-"
"But that doesn't mean we can't. I think we both do a lot of things we aren't supposed to do, I'm not saying that anything is going to happen." she said as her leg started to run up his.
"BUT... I'm not against trying." she said, he stared at her for a moment, "Are you pulling my leg?" she smirked at him, "Not yet, I think we should save that for home."
He chuckled lightly, "You better hold true to your words." he said, pulling her leg up and running his hand down to her thigh.
"I never go back on my words." she whispered in his ear.
Ichigo looked at her then let go of her and leaving the room. Rukia sighed and laid back on the desk, closing her eyes for a moment, 'I wonder... if I did become unfortunate enough to develop feelings for him... would we be able to survive that kind of toxic relationship..?'
Sigh, I know I haven't updated in forever but May was a busy month and June but here I am.
