Day 3, symtomps

"GAAH!" Ichigo jumped out of his bed and got into his uniform in record time. "I over slept! Checking his watch he rushed down the stairs zooming past the dinning table and the rest saw was a blur of bright orange and a mumble that sound like 'Bye'."Ichigo wait!" Yuzu yelled after him by the door, too late he had already ran out the gates and dashed for school as fast as possible.

"What was that all about?" Rukia asked still in her PJ's appearing right behind Yuzu who watched her brother create a trail of smoke headed to his school," Hn? School does not start till seven and its just six o'clock,"

"His watch probably died again," Yuzu said sighing, "he should really buy a new one," she turned into the house," Do you want eggs for breakfast Rukia chan?"

Rukia smiled,"That would be nice,"

"Pant pant, "WOO HOO MADE IT," Ichigo yelled," hey where is everyone else?". He lifted his watch to take a better look at it when he realise something he missed earlier in the morning. "Shit! My watch is dead again," He groaned," Heh to be tricked by the dead watch, how much more idiotic can I get?"

"Probably a few more folds," a cold toned voice come from behind Ichigo.

"Shut up Ishida! I did not asked for your opinion anyway," He said calmly making his way toward the building in front of him, Ishida not far behind."So you were talking to your self then?" Ishida questioned just to irritate Ichigo. After all Ichigo is too dense to realise what is actually going on.

"NO, I was uh... reflecting..."

"Once an fool always a fool,"

"What did you say!"

"..."

"Oh so thats how you want it huh? Fine! two cant play a that game,"Ichigo stretched the 'o' in a knowing tone, as for the rest of the trip to their class Ichigo kept quiet as if there was a competition between him and Ishida. Meanwhile inside Ishida was snickering at his orange haired friend."So why are you here so early in the morning?" Ishida asked from his desk while Ichigo was also seated in his seat.

"Didn't you hear me just now? I was tricked by my watch..."

"Oh right... that..." Ishida began to chuckle softly.

"I still can hear you. you know," said Ichigo.

Rukia was walking alone through the shops on the way to school. "I wonder if I should get Ichigo a new watch?" As if the universe heard her a bright shine caught her eye. Sitting on a velvet cushioned box a silver time piece. It has a square face each side of the frame was carefully engraved in metallic red. The strap was made of metal that reflects light so well that it gives off a warm glow. It's hands were in a lighter metallic red colour that matches the frame. The background of the watch was a picture of a fiery butterfly the outline was lined with a thin blue flame coloured wire. It give the feeling that the butterfly is made out of flames, there were three circles that overlapped the picture yet they fit perfectly. One tells the current date another shows the time in digital form,the last one counted up to sixty second consistent with the smaller butterfly. Around the red fiery butterfly was a squared digital track that show a much smaller side viewed butterfly flying along that path, once the butterfly completed a circuit the third circle timer resets itself to zero and starts to count again."Butterflies huh? reminds me of death moths, am I really going to buy him a watch?" While she ponders on the question her body moved on its own, into the shop and toward the watch. "Guess I am," She said to herself.

"AHHHHHH,"Keigo's screaming echo's through the classroom. Everyone's heads immediately shot up to see what in going on. "NO way... How could this be?" He exclaimed. The whole group was sitting together joining several tables together. Most of everyone had already started preparing for the forthcoming exams. Rukia took her seat sandwitched between Ichigo and Tatsuki both laughing at Keigo as he once again got the wrong answer Keigo hand wandered into his hair ruffling it into a tangled mess. "I'm so dead," he lamented. With a slap onto his back Tatsuki grinned at him," Don't worry, once you fail you will be left behind all alone with this year's junior,then everyone will know how dumb you are!" Keigo's face turned sour, he pout towards Ichigo as an indication to help defend him but Ichigo as he is decided to ignore Keigo and continue with his revision. "Ichigo..." He groaned as his face turned chibi. His eyes grew large and watery, sparkling as the light rays hit the water surface. "Pweeeess," Keigo pleaded looking up to Ichigo trying his best to be 'cute'."You're hopeless," Ichigo said in a defeated sigh. Re-explaining everything to Keigo again.

"How are you able to go through this each year Ichigo?" Rukia slammed her book down onto the floor of Ichigo's room. During their study session Keigo unable to withstand break under pressure and turn slightly crazy. He began shouting then laughing then crying then he began to dance around and finally falling on his butt in an uncontrollable laughing fit . Which made everyone's decision to go home and study. Since Rukia and Ichigo lives in the same house, Rukia decided to seek help from Ichigo.

"What do you mean You used to have exams as well right?"

"Yeah but no like this! I don't understand a thing in here!"

"Just take it one at a time,"

"But-"

"IF you don't understand something then come and ask me."

Back and forth Rukia went to Ichigo desk and back to her spot on the floor. Hours flew by unnoticed. Ichigo was sitting down at his desk thinking about a problem when he realised Rukia had quieten down. He twisted his body and there he saw Rukia fallen a sleep leaning against his bed. As quietly as possible he walked towards her. Her soft breaths in sync with the rise and fall of her chest. "Rukia looked so peaceful, I never noticed her lashes were that long or that her lips are so adorable...! What the hell am I thinking? But she- No! No! She's just a friend I couldn't ,shouldn't." Ichigo eyes fell upon the sleeping figure, His brown eyes softened. He kneeled right in front of her one of his arms outstretched to the bed supporting his weight while his other hand carefully cupped her cheek. He leaned in closer, he could feel his breath interwinding with hers.

"ICHIGO!," Isshin cried out loud as he abruptly open the door. Ichigo practically flew away from Rukia's body he could feel his face heating up as he stared at his dad. "WHA... What are you doing to Rukia-chan?" Isshin eyes darted to and fro his son and Rukia," Could it be?" Ichigo could see the glint in his father's eye in a very suggestive manner as his father put the pieces together in his mind.

In a flash Isshin ran down to the first floor with Ichigo on his tail. Ichigo have a very strong feeling on what is about to happen. Thank the high heavens that his sister aren't home yet.

"My wife! Our son has finally become a man!" Isshin cried while slobbering himself all over the huge poster of his wife. Ichigo standing behind him turn his focus back to Ichigo his face showed nothing but seriousness. Ichigo gulped as his dad walked towards him. "Ichigo..."Isshin started, his voice stoic and cold. He places on of his hands on to Ichigo's shoulder his eyes looked straight into Ichigo's. "Why didn't you tell me that you and Rukia were already on that stage if the relationship?" Isshin face was contorted into one which his tears were at the verge of falling and that he was trying to suppress his smile.

"Wha? Dad No its not like that between us,"

"Nonsense! Don't try to lie to me! Spill! When did you guys start? Did you kiss her? Did you did tha-" Before he could finish Ichigo had successfully landed his feet on his dad's face.

"It"s not like that!" Ichigo's face turn strawberry pink as he thought about his father's ridiculous question

"Now son don't be shy you can tell your old man all about it,"

"Wha?" Ichigo face turned a deeper shade of red.

As the father son quarrel continued, Rukia still in Ichigo's room fast asleep comfortably, completely unaware of what is going on downstairs.
