"Mommy… mommy… where are you?"

No answer…

The boy was trembling, "mommy? I'm scared. Mommy! Mommy! Don't leave me here! Mommy! Mom-OOOOOOODDDDDDD MOOOORRRRNNNIIINNNGGG IIIICCCHHHHIIIIIGGGOOOOO!!!!!!"

Ichigo's eyes shot open as he threw his hand above his head grabbing whatever he could grab and whipped his arm in an opposite direction. In this case ended up to be Rukia's closet.

"Waaah!!" Rukia came tumbling out of the closet landing on Isshin in a very strange matter. [wink wink] Ichigo took one look at them and snickered."I-I'm sorry!" Rukia rolled off Isshin bright red.

Isshin smirked at Ichigo. And gave him a thumbs up, Rukia didn't notice. When Ichigo saw this he took his pillow and threw it at his father's face. "What the hell?!?!! OUT!!!!!"

Isshin, against his will, moped out of the room. Rukia tried to sneak back into the closet but Ichigo grabbed the back of her pajama shirt. "Where do you think you're going?" Rukia turned back to Ichigo and he released her shirt, "I'm going into my closet!"

Ichigo shook his head, "We have school." Rukia non-chantly replied as she shock her had back in forth as she made another attempt at the closet, "I'm skipping!"

Ichigo sighed and grabbed the back of her shirt again pulling her back behind him, blocking her path to the closet. Rukia kicked Ichigo in the shins though it had no effect. "You're not skipping the second day of school, midget, go get your uniform on!"

Rukia kicked him in the shins again causing Ichigo to wince, "You don't have authority over me!!" Ichigo put his hand on Rukia's head ruffling her hair, which only upset her more. "You are staying at my house, eating my food, the least you can do is not waste our money and go to school!"

Rukia instantly felt bad 'cause she knew he was right. Rukia tried to fix her hair with her fingers and failed miserably. "Fine, but if Renji is there I'm leaving!"

Ichigo raised his eyebrow and grabbed a set of clothes from the dresser, "No, you're gonna stay whether you like it or not!" Rukia kicked Ichigo in the back ending him flying face first into the door. "What the hell was that!?!?! You could've killed me!!!"

Rukia stuck out her tongue at him and turned around with her arms crossed immaturely, "Idiots like you wouldn't die so easily."

Ichigo scowled, "Well hurry up, you're not sick or anything so you're going to school no matter what!" He left the room heading towards the bathroom.

Rukia uncrossed her arms and let out a sigh, "I can't see Renji, if I do…" Rukia went and dug in the closet and searched for her uniform. She put it on, brushed her hair, and headed towards the bathroom. When she approached the bathroom she knocked.

"Strawberry, you done in there?" Ichigo opened the door, startling Rukia, "S'not like I could go back to my room with you in there." Rukia twitched and muttered, "Stupid Strawberry."

Ichigo turned around and loudly said, "It's one who protects." Rukia walked into the bathroom ignoring the idiot. She brushed her teeth and finished other essential bathroom stuff, before heading down to the Kitchen for breakfast.

"Good Morning Rukia! Your breakfast is already on the table!" Yuzu exclaimed with her sweet innocent smile she always wore. Rukia returned the smile, "Thanks Yuzu!" Rukia sat at the table and began to quickly eat the meal.

Ichigo glanced at Rukia and raised an eyebrow. "Breakfast isn't going to run off." Rukia glared at the Orange haired boy, "Yea but you do, and then I won't have time to finish." Ichigo reclined in his chair not really caring about what she said. 'Doesn't anything we talked about last night mean anything to him?? He's acting as if are total strangers!'

Ichigo glanced at the clock behind him, "Time to leave." Just then Yuzu walked out of the kitchen, "Neeh? I thought I'd have a chance to eat with you two!" she pouted. Rukia smiled at how cute Yuzu was whenever she made that face.

"Midget, I'm not going to wait all day!" Ichigo called from the entrance. "Idiot! I'm not a midget! And I never told you to wait for me!" She joined Ichigo. She didn't quite feel like forgiving him as easily as before so she pretended that she was still mad with him. Walking Ichigo kept glancing at her, 'She can't really be that mad over me calling her a midget? I let her call me strawberry, so while the hell is she pissed off?'

The two approached the school in complete silence; Ichigo's nerves were nearly killing him. He looked around for somebody to lighten the mood when he saw Renji. "Hey, Renji! Where the hell were you yesterday?"

The Red-haired male turned around, "You wouldn't believe who messed up the division is! It's-" Renji looked up at Ichigo and saw the person attempting to hide behind him, "RUKIA?!?!?!"

Rukia winced, 'Shit!'
