Instead of waking up to the normal beeping of his alarm clock, Ichigo was rudely woken up to oh sooo lovely and LOUD sounds of moans, groans, and harsh whispers coming from under his bed. What a fantastically wonderful way to wake up, Ichigo thought bitterly.

Ichigo got up from his bed and stretched, ignoring the noises not really wanting to find out what was under his bed. He was really pissed at being woken up an hour earlier than usual, and was positive he would DESTROY the source of the notice if he found it; he was pretty sure it was Rukia trying to scare him, again, and did not want murder on his hands.

"I'm going to eat youuuuuu!" Rukia moaned from under the bed. Rukia grabbed his leg and pulled. HARD. Ichigo fell face first on to the floor, with a loud THUD.

"Oi! What the hell?! Let go of me." He yelled at her, shaking his leg, trying to make her let go. He looked at her small hand wrapped with an iron grip around his ankle, it looked strangely green, warty, and made of plastic.

She began pulling his legs under the bed; "I'm the boogie man I live under your bed!" he kicked his leg in protest; she then began scratching his foot, in response.

"Shit, that tickles!" he let out a barking laugh, "Stop, Rukia!" he said choking on his own laughter. He kicked his leg harder in a desperate attempt to free his imprisoned leg. He heard a loud thump, he had kicked her, and he got her hard on the head.

Shit.

"Rukia?" he asked pulling her out from under the bed only to find her unconscious. "Sorry." He said smiling

An hour later

"Rukia time for school!" Ichigo called to her from the bottom of the stair steps.

"Coming!" Rukia called back she was wearing a large jacket. He didn't want to know why, so he didn't ask.

"Ready?" he looked down at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah," she swiftly walked out the door ignoring his questioning gaze, zippering her jacket higher and pulling on her sleeve.

***

They were almost at school. Ichigo was actually starting to feel relief. He was afraid that Rukia would try to pull some sort of stunt like yesterday. But as for now it seemed unlikely. For now it was kind of calm.

Rukia suddenly shouted breaking the pleasant silence "Oh no! Look at that huge rock, Ichigo!" Ichigo looked at the floor all he saw a small pebble. She was sooo weird.

"Oh no I don't think I'm going to make it across the huge rock!" he stopped and turned to look at her in disbelief. She was talking about the pebble right? She took in a dramatic breath and let out a loud sigh and fell gracefully to the floor. Ichigo rolled his eyes. He had a gut feeling that this was another tick to scare him.

"Come on get up." He said to her.

"Help me up Ichigo! I think I……hurt my…umm………hand!"

"Get up yourself up!" he told her staring to walk again.

"No! Help me get up!" she yelled at him loudly, causing a group of middle school girls walking on the opposite side of the street to look over at them.

"What an ass," one of the girls whispered loudly to one of her friends.

He sighed, growling under his breath "Fine." he walked back over to her. He extended his hand to help her up.

Giving him her hand he pulled her to bring her to her feet and over the damn pebble. Rukia gave a blood hurtling scream. Ichigo fell to the floor in surprise of her sudden scream and the fact he was holding a hand in his dripping in bright red blood.

"Oh My God! Rukia I'm so sorry! I- I didn't mean to pull off your hand!" he apologized quickly. His senses slowly returned from the sudden shock. Wait, it was physically impossible for this to have happened.

He the noticed he was covered in what he had previously thought was Rukia's blood. But it smelled strongly of tomatoes and sugar and it was a lot thicker than blood.

He looked at the hand in his, it was a fake. She had set him up. It was another attempt to scare him. That was why she was wearing the big jacket. To cover the ketchup bottle she was trying to hide. He glared at her.

"You were scared weren't you?" Rukia asked with a smile on her face.

"Rukia I've seen blood like a million times. I wasn't scared, I'm pissed Rukia. Do you realize that I have to go to school after this, right? I'm covered in fuck'n KETCHUP!" Ichigo yelled at Rukia who was rolling on the ground laughing.

Ichigo examined his clothes. It was mostly his shirt covered in ketchup. He began to wipe of the ketchup. Once they reached school his shirt was pink and he smelled like ketchup. This wasn't the beginning of a good day. Ichigo kept on telling himself throughout the day that all of Rukia's attempts to scare him were worth all the Pocky he would get. Plus he had been through worse.

***

Ichigo had thankfully made it throughout the rest of the day unscathed. He had finished all his home work and taken a bath. He could go to sleep early today, to make up for his lack of it in the morning. The smell of the ketchup hadn't fully gone away. And it had been a long day and Ichigo was dead tired from all of Rukia's tactics. He got in to bed and closed his door. He was at the verge of sleep when he heard soft thumps coming from his closest. Shit not again.

"Rukia, no more!" he pleaded. "No scarring me I'm tired, save it for tomorrow." Ichigo spoke to the closed closet door. He closed his eyes once again in an attempted to go to sleep, but was foiled once again.

"Now that it's dark, I can show my true self." Rukia said a slight lisp to her voice.

"Whatever it is Rukia, save it for tomorrow." Ichigo repeated his back to Rukia.

"I can't wait until tomorrow I'm hungry now!" said walking toward his bed.

"If you're hungry go down stairs and get some'th to eat." He said yawning.

"I'm not hungry for food I'm hungry for your blood!" Rukia said.

"You're hungry for, what!?" Ichigo asked tuning to Rukia who was know at the side of his bed, he sat up. "Rukia why are you dressed up like that? I can barely see you." Ichigo asked sitting up. She was wearing an all black cloak that made her outline fade into the still darkness of the night.

"I said I'm hungry for your blood!" Rukia said tilting her head and leaning in to bite Ichigo's neck. He froze completely. She bit him. Ichigo blushed furiously, and then fell unconscious.

"Ichigo?" Rukia asked taking out her fake fangs. "Was I really that scary?"
