Rukia nearly groaned…
She was getting a lecture on what she did last night was unacceptable.
She wanted it to be over because: one, she had a whopping hangover, two, and this was complete bull shit since she hadn't done anything, three, she was still thinking about what Hitsugaya had said to her.
"Rukia Kuchiki, I cannot believe that you would actually go out and get drunk." Byakuya said as he readjusted his silver tie and Rukia rolled her eyes mentally as Byakuya glared at her. "I don't mean to be a controlling freak Rukia, but, you know the rules." Byakuya said as Rukia sighed.
"Byakuya, I didn't mean to get drunk, it was my only way to…" Rukia stopped.
Why had she taken the alcohol?
She was pretty stupid for asking Keigo for his hardest liquor because she was a little aggravated when she saw two girls attempting to flirt with him.
"Your only way of what, Rukia, you have never been irresponsible, now it seems like I'm going to have to punish you." Byakuya said as the door was opened and Hitsugaya stepped in swiftly and Hitsugaya nodded before Byakuya came from behind his desk and then walked over to Rukia and Hitsugaya and then took out a long chain with two handcuffs. Rukia then looked at the chain and saw Byakuya grab her wrist and place one handcuff on her wrist neatly and the same with Hitsugaya. Byakuya then turned to Hitsugaya.
"Do not ever let her leave your sight or let her go unless you absolutely have to." Byakuya said as he gave the key to Hitsugaya and Hitsugaya placed it in his pocket. Rukia nearly gaped at his actions.
"Byakuya, this is ridiculous, I am not a child that needs to be put on a short leash!" Rukia protested she certainly didn't want to be chained up. Byakuya just sighed as he lowered his gaze.
"Just live through it Rukia, and I hope you act on behavior today, the elders are coming and plus, I am your science substitute for today, now go on." Byakuya said in a serious tone and Rukia nearly stomped off and was ready to barge out when she realized she still had Hitsugaya chained up to her. She then calmly walked out of Byakuya's study, but she slammed the door shut and then turned on her heel and glared at Hitsugaya.
"Let's get one thing straight here Hitsugaya, you just follow me, I won't bring any harm to you, but I swear, if you piss me off, I'm going to tackle you and beat you up until I get that damned key." Rukia hissed and Hitsugaya rolled his eyes as he sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Fine then, go along." Hitsugaya said before she walked out of the house and he closed the gate behind him and Rukia made Hitsugaya follow closely behind her so she could hide the ridiculous chain binding them together. Rukia saw the whole group looking at her and waving at her, Rukia did a wave, with the hand that was free. They walked towards the group, but he had to stay close behind so they would conceal the chain…apparently she didn't want to get embarrassed.
"Hey Rukia what's up?" Orihime giggled as Ichigo whispered something into her ear while wearing a husky smile on his face and Rukia smiled at them.
"Nothing much, now if we don't get going, we should probably start walking now, I don't want to be late." Rukia said with a little bore in her tone and Matsumoto started walking up right next to her while Hitsugaya walked behind all of them.
"Neh Rukia, are you feeling alright from last night? I'm pretty sure you should have a hangover by now." Matsumoto asked, scanning Rukia's face and how her expression was. Rukia furrowed her brows and then closed her eyes and shook her head.
"No Matsumoto, I don't have a hangover…just a slight headache." Rukia said as they opened the gates to the school and walked in.
"Okay, I heard your brother is going to be our science substitute for today." Matsumoto said as Rukia groaned.
"Great…as if I'm not in trouble enough as it is…I have to have my older brother teach science today…dear god." Rukia muttered under her breath as the bell rang.
Two hours later:
"Alright, everybody, settle down." Byakuya said in a loud voice and everybody quieted down as Byakuya gave them his famous glare. He took out a clipboard Mayuri had left him for attendance for fourth period and Byakuya started scanning the board. He quickly took attendance, and Byakuya's eyes lifted up to see Rukia and Hitsugaya sitting together so they could hide the chain.
"Alright class, today, I am your substitute, probably all of you know me as the English teacher so, your teacher Mr. Kurotsutchi left a worksheet on the lab, just follow that. Also, if there is any fooling around, I will not hesitate to kick you out and report you. Begin." Byakuya said, everybody quickly got to work and started pulling out the chemicals and washed their hands and put on gloves.
Rukia worked silently while Hitsugaya just watched her, making sure she didn't get cut or anything. Rukia brought out her notebook and started writing the proper things for full credit into her notebook and then grabbed the chemicals and started pouring.
Blue liquid, then white liquid, then green…and just more crap to be dealt with. Rukia carefully poured the amounts that were required. Rukia was smart in science…at the very least. She just added the sulfur mixture in the bubbling green liquid that was in the beaker and Hitsugaya watched with a peculiar interest as the little Kuchiki furrowed her brows together in concentration. Rukia poured more amounts of some chemicals and Hitsugaya, just happened to know a shortcut of getting the mixture all done without adding about fifty more chemicals.
"Rukia, you can just add some of this to complete your chemical mixture, so you don't have to add fifty more." Hitsugaya whispered and Rukia shot him a cold glare.
"Thanks for the advice, but I don't need it, I'm going to follow the worksheet, and why should I trust you?! You could make the damn chemical mixture blow up the whole lab!" Rukia hissed keeping her voice down so Byakuya wouldn't catch her. Hitsugaya held up the tube full of liquid and he kept on swinging.
"Does it look like I want to pay millions of dollars worth of classrooms just so I can mess you up? I'm being serious; use this as a damn shortcut." Hitsugaya said gently as he held up the vial full of chemicals right in front of Rukia's face. Rukia pushed it away his hand gently and glared at him and gripped the beaker that had the sulfur mix in and kept a restraint on her grip so she wouldn't break it.
"Look, I don't need your help okay?! So why don't you be a good bodyguard and just shut the hell up and mind your own god damn business!" Rukia nearly yelled but she was glad the classroom was noisy so they didn't hear her comment towards Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya narrowed his emerald eyes at her.
"I know you don't need it, but I'm trying to help you, so why won't you accept it god damn it?" Hitsugaya hissed and Rukia nearly threw down the beaker in her hands.
"OKAY, LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT ASSHOLE, NOT ONLY DID YOU LIE TO ME, WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU?! YOU FUCKING LIED TO ME, SO I DON'T THINK I CAN REALLY TAKE YOUR GOD DAMN HELP, SO LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE BASTARD!" Rukia screamed and the whole room stopped and looked at Rukia and Hitsugaya and Rukia nearly palmed her face as she put down the beaker and saw Byakuya arching a brow at her.
"Ms. Kuchiki, please go outside, I do not need you interrupting the class." Byakuya told her and Rukia got out of her seat and then pulled her wrist forward and the chain clinked and everybody saw the chain connecting to her wrist to his and all of her friends nearly widened their eyes as they saw the two walking out, bounded by the chains. Rukia pushed open the door in anger and then tugged him out angrily, like she had control over his movements and he walked out but tugged on the chain to stop her from pulling on him like a little rag doll. As soon as they stumbled outside Hitsugaya glared at her.
"What the hell is your problem with me?" Hitsugaya growled at her and Rukia glared at him as her back leaned against the brick wall.
"Gee, I don't know, since you fucking lied to me, I think that's a problem." Rukia snarled at him and Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes.
"You don't have to act like a bitch to me you know." Hitsugaya hissed and Rukia clenched fist…she so wanted to punch someone right now.
"I'm not acting like a bitch, maybe you just think that way." Rukia hissed at him and Hitsugaya eyes bored into hers in a menacing way.
"Yes you are, you just don't want to admit it because you think you are high and fucking mighty because you are Rukia Kuchiki." Hitsugaya spat and Rukia widened her eyes and then narrowed them and she came forward and gripped his shit and gave him a hard glare.
"Just because I'm Rukia Kuchiki, does not mean I think I'm high and mighty, I feel like shit most of the time, but when I thought you came along, I thought I actually felt better. So don't give me this bull shit that says I'm acting high and mighty when I'm really not. Bastard." Rukia said angrily as he pulled her hand off his shirt and he looked at her.
"Then why do you act this way towards me?" Hitsugaya said as she backed up into a wall and he towered over her, his face dangerously close to hers. Rukia swallowed.
"Because, I know what's right, and what I should do and I don't need a thirty year old fag following me around." Rukia jabbed a finger in his chest, all of the sudden, his scowl turned into a chuckle and Rukia glared at him venomously. "What the hell are you laughing at bastard?!" Rukia asked slapping his shoulder and Hitsugaya rubbed his shoulder and tilted his head to the side.
"Did you just call me a thirty year old fag?" Hitsugaya asked, keeping the smirk that was coming away from his face and Rukia arched a brow.
"Of course I did, aren't you thirty years old? You look a little bit young… but I was assuming…OH MY GOD! I KISSED A THIRTY YEAR OLD, MY LIFE IS RUINED." Rukia said and Hitsugaya chuckled and coughed into his fist so he could hide his laughs.
"I'm not thirty years old Rukia, I'm eighteen, just the same age as you." Hitsugaya chuckled and Rukia stopped freaking out like a crazy ten year old.
"But…aren't you supposed to be in high school?" Rukia asked and Hitsugaya leaned against the wall as well, his back touching against the cooled white paint.
"I finished high school when I was twelve." Hitsugaya stated and Rukia rolled her eyes.
Show off.
"What about college? You couldn't have complete college already." Rukia pointed out, this was totally a score for her, he couldn't have gone to college and then got accepted, it was impossible.
"I finished that in two years, so when I was fourteen I finished." Hitsugaya said and Rukia's jaw dropped and she stuttered.
"F…fourteen, what the hell, this is ridiculous, there is no way you could have finished college already!" Rukia exclaimed and Hitsugaya chuckled even harder.
"Sometimes surprises happen, I bet you didn't know that, I got this job when I was sixteen." Hitsugaya simply said and Rukia nodded.
"It still doesn't change the fact that I'm going to be mean to you." Rukia said with a teasing tone and Hitsugaya held out his hand.
"How about we make a deal then?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia arched a brow.
"And good sir what might that be?" Rukia said in a snobbish voice and rolled her eyes afterwards and gave him a smile.
"I'll just be your bodyguard, I won't bother you, but you have to promise not to be a bitch to me." Hitsugaya said, Rukia stretched her fingertips and then they lightly brushed his.
"What happens if we progress more than just bodyguard and person?" Rukia teased and Hitsugaya chuckled.
"We'll see about that if that happens, so deal?" Hitsugaya asked before Rukia's fingertips clamped onto his outstretched hand and Rukia smiled.
"You Mr. Hitsugaya have just gotten yourself a deal." Rukia said and Hitsugaya smirked inwardly.
