Chapter Two: "Coffee Shop Greetings"
Name: Rukia Kuchiki
Age: 23
Hair Color: Black/Raven
Eye Color: Violet
Occupation: Vice President of Kuchiki Industries
As the youngest Vice President in the history of business and finance, it's safe to say that Rukia Kuchiki was definitely enjoying the high life. Yes, she had a lot of responsibilities ranging from meetings with overseas clientele to creation of proposals and contracts for some of her brother's potential clients. Many would think that the young Kuchiki VP had the same stoic attitude as her brother Byakuya Kuchiki, but, on the contrary, her happy and charismatic attitude is what brings in the sales and clientele into her brother's company.
Byakuya Kuchiki, President and C.E.O of Kichiki Industries, keeps her in charge of these affairs not only to keep her busy, but also because she is an extremely diligent worker. She often comes into work early to get a head start on paperwork. By the time 4 pm rolls along, she is already done and ahead of the work schedule.

Rukia Kuchiki is the ideal and dream worker that everyone strives to be. She is her brother's most prized possession and an incredibly sweet, intelligent, and well-rounded woman, but she also happens to be a major party girl.
Even though she graduated high school at the age of 16, she still had time to socialize and have fun like any normal teenager would. She managed to breeze through college with a cumulative GPA of 4.0 and she was president of her business sorority, Alpha Kappa Beta.
She kept herself busy throughout college, but this did not stop her from becoming best friends with two of the biggest party girls at her University. Rangiku Matsumoto and Momo Hinamori were the biggest catches on campus, but they weren't just the average college student. They were also very intelligent and they graduated with Rukia at the top of their class.
All three of them continued onto very successful career tracks. Momo Hinamori continued along the medical path and became an extraordinary Psychiatrist specializing in both child psychology and abnormal psychology. Rangiku became a very successful business woman, specializing in international business and marketing and she works as one of the accounting specialists at Nagasaki Industries.
These three women are hardworking individuals, therefore they deserve an opportunity to party and have a good time when the time comes.

"Rangiku, Momo, please stop fooling around! We have to get back to work!"

Rukia stood against the door of the Hollister changing room. Her two best friends were dragging her around the mall all day searching for outfits for the biggest and most important celebration of the decade.
The party at the Shiba manor was the place to be, especially since hoards of celebrities and business entrepreneurs were going to attend the party as well. The eldest brother of Shiba family was Kaien Shiba and he is one of the richest men in all of Japan. He resides in New York City since he is the head of international affairs of Shiba Corp, leader in medical technologies for the past decade.
Kaien is an extravagant and eligible bachelor. The young Shiba has had his eyes on Rukia ever since she became the VP for her brother's company. Rukia knows that this party is very important for her brother since both companies are in talks of a merging project, which would bring a lot of good business for both parties.
Even though Rukia dislikes Kaien for his excessive partying and his treatment of women, she'll be forced to play nice with him, all for the benefit of the company.

"Hey Rukia," Momo asks as they walk around the mall, "What are you going to do if Kaien tries to hit on you again?"
Rangiku responds, "Probably the same thing she did last the time. Go along with it then completely humiliate the guy by dumping her martini on his head." Rukia chuckles, "He deserved it and the guy was already drunk! He reeked of whiskey and sake!"
Rangiku pouts, "I don't know Rukia. He's still really hot! I'd let him do whatever he wanted with my body!" Momo laughs, "Ran! You have Gin remember?"
Rangiku pretends to pout, "Oh that's right. I almost forgot about him since he's off on another one of his business trips."
"How long 'til he comes back this time," Rukia asks, "Is he stuck at a conference or something?"
Rangiku sighs, "I don't know this time. He said he's away attending a few business summits in Europe and won't return for a few weeks."
"He's probably at the same one that Nee-sama is attending right now. It shouldn't be long before they both return."
"I hope you're right. I miss my Gin so much, I've had to resort to pleasuring myself and imagining it's him doing all of the work," Rangiku chimes in.
Momo and Rukia both scream out, "RANGIKU!"
The three girls all bust out laughing as they walk into a coffee shop just outside of the mall. They all order drinks and take a seat at the table by the window, chatting about their jobs and the latest gossip.
Their orders are called by the barista and Rukia decides to get the drinks for everyone. She walks over to the window, grabs the tray of coffee, and turns around only to find herself running into a tall brick wall made out of lean muscle and spiky orange hair.
"Aw shit!" The orange-haired man grunts out.
Rukia picks up the tray and sets it down on a table. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-" She stutters a bit.
The orange-haired man tries to calm Rukia down, "Miss, its fine. It wasn't your fault. I mean, it was your fault, but I know you didn't mean to do it." He chuckles and Rukia awkwardly laughs as well.
"I didn't see you there I swear! Let me go get some napkins. Oh my gosh!" She runs over, grabs napkins and tells the barista of the spilling. Rukia runs over to the man and begins to blot his shirt with the napkins and a bottle of water she had in her purse.
"Looks like I ruined your shirt. Again I'm so sorry, sir!"
The orange-haired man smiles, "It's okay, no biggie. I'll just have to go home without a shirt on." He takes off his button-down shirt and drapes it over his shoulder. Rukia couldn't help but stare at the man's very sculpted torso. She could tell he had abs because they were protruding through the tank top he was wearing underneath his work shirt. 'Oh my gosh. What the hell does this guy do for a living?!' She snaps out of her tiny day dream and lightly scolds him for his actions.
"Oi ! W-wait you can't do that here! Put your shirt back on, baka. This is a public place!"
The orange-haired man chuckles, "I have a jacket, sweetheart. Don't worry about me. After all I am a stranger." He smirks at her, puts on his leather jacket, and walks towards the door.
"Later toots!" He waves a peace sign in the air without turning around, walks toward his motorcycle that's parked outside of the coffee shop, and rides off into the busy streets of New York.
Rukia is left there stunned, "Did he just call me 'toots?' The nerve of that guy!" She throws away the napkins, grabs the tray of coffee from the barista and walks back towards the table where her friends are anxiously waiting for her. They discussed the events that took place and teased Rukia about the orange haired guy for the rest of the day. After enjoying their coffee, the three friends said their good byes and decided to go their separate ways to their respected homes.
\

Once Rukia arrived to her apartment, she plopped down on the couch and thought about what happened at the coffee shop, "What the hell did that guy mean by, 'Later toots?' Does he know Nee-sama? Why can't I get him out of my head, dammit!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. She gets up from the couch and opens the door, only to find staring a déjà vu straight in the eyes. She remains frozen in her place as the man in front of her smirks and introduces himself.
"You're Rukia Kuchiki right? Pardon me for my lack of manners, but my name is Ichigo Kurosaki and I'm gonna be your new body guard."
