It was the last class of the day. Rukia was eager to get out of school and go see her boyfriend. Two more months of school left and she would graduate. Nii-sama had been griping about her not being home lately. He told her she better not be having sex and she explained to him she was now old enough to make her own choices and she was moving out. Ichigo asked her to move in. Tatsuki and the other girls told her it was to soon. Rukia wasn't one to take anyone's advice though. Byakuya screamed at her till he was blue in the face.

She explained to him that after school she was packing her stuff and moving in with Ichigo. He told her she was an adult now and could make her own decisions.

Feeling

a tap on her shoulder she turned to see Tatsuki drop a piece of paper in front of her.

Still a virgin?

Rukia laughed to herself and raised an eyebrow at her best friend.

What's it to you?

Rukia quickly threw the note back to her friend after responding.

Just curious. Something tells me you aren't. :) Wanna hang out with me, Inoue, and Rangiku after school? We are going to the mall and could help you move your stuff.

When Rukia saw the name Rangiku her blood seemed to boil, but they would help her move. Quickly thinking she replied to the note.

Sure. And You're right I'm no longer a virgin. :)

"This sucks." Grimmjow frowned.

"Whatever. You just want to go fuck around with girls. Grimmjow we heard gun shots on our turf and all you can think about is sex. I'm beginning to wonder why I let you hang around with me and Renji so much."

"Like you don't ever think about sex Ichigo. I saw how hard your dick was this morning while you and Rukia were kissing each other goodbye in the hallway." Ichigo growled.

"Guess I hit a soft spot."

"Okay, you two that's enough. I think we should be concentrating on our mission."

Ichigo looked at his watch and remembered that Rukia got out of school in about five minutes. He knew once he started dating her she would be their opposing gangs top target. Rangiku never was which made no sense to Ichigo.

Why was Rukia such a target to them? There was obviously something they knew that he didn't.

"Stark, Rukia Kuchiki is to be brought back here. I will kill her with my own two hands after I ravish her tiny body." Gin licked his lips.

"Yes, Sir." Stark bowed.

"Rukia Kuchiki's brother is the leader of Isshin Kurosaki's allied gang. We cannot allow these two gang members to come together and create children posing a threat to us. What's more, Rukia seems to have no idea who she even is. "

"Sir, I would hate to interrupt your theory of Ichigo and Rukia creating gang leaders out of their offspring, but Ichigo's a player. I highly doubt he's serious about her. I don't see why we never went after Rangiku."

Gin smiled wickedly. "The prophecy. My father died trying to protect this gang. We are different then the soul reapers. We kill for fun and prey on the innocent. The soul reapers do not do such things. When they are threatened they will kill for fun. They enjoy killing any women or children affiliated with us. Isshin Kurosaki killed my father. My grand father had always told me Isshin's son, Ichigo, would soon take over the gang. He would eventually meet a girl and they were to have children who would be the most powerful gang leaders in Japan."

"I see."

"Rukia Kuchiki is a threat because she is the one who will bear Kurosaki's children. We must break these two apart and kill Rukia! I will not allow anymore Kurosakis to be born. I tried to give Ichigo a chance and he blew it. I will never buy from him again. He's a lying, selfish son of a bitch who does not deserve any happiness."

"Ichigo is powerful, Sir." Stark said casually interrupting his boss.

"I know he is. Killing him and capturing Rukia will be the hardest thing to do. Today we will send Lilinette and Harribel to check on Rukia and the other soul reaper females."

With that said and done, Gin walked off.

"Sir, we sent out a few of our members to distract Kurosaki and the other two men. That way Lilinette and Harribel can take care of Rukia."

Gin looked at the two women and motioned them to leave.

They both bowed and headed out the door taking their guns and knives with them. They meant business. Rukia Kuchiki was going to die by their hands.

The three cloaked men from the Arrancars were shooting at women and children. They wanted Ichigo to come after them and they got what they wanted seeing as he was hot on their trail.

Ichigo whispered to his comrades. "I see them."

Ichigo started shooting at the man farthest to the right. After seeing that his shot was successful, he quickly ran over to his main suspect and jumped on top of him, taking him to the ground. Renji and Grimmjow quickly followed pursuit.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Ichigo said holding the gun to the mans head.

The man laughed.

"Your girlfriend is about to die all because of you."

"What the fuck do you mean?" Ichigo asked through gritted teeth.

"She cannot live, So Gin wants her dead."

Tightening his grip on the trigger he pulled the masked man by the shirt and spit in his face.

"I don't even know why I bother." Ichigo said pulling the trigger blowing the mans brains out of the back of his skull.

"Fuck this shit!" Ichigo yelled at the top of his lungs.

"What is your problem, Ichigo?" Renji asked while holding one of the men down.

"Rukia's in trouble. We've got to go find her!"

Ichigo knew this was going to happen. Gin had turned against him and he was out for anything Ichigo cared for. Gin knew Ichigo was serious about Rukia and was ready to take her away.

As Renji was talking he felt a quick impact against his jaw. Growling, Renji shoved the guns point into the mans mouth.

"You know we don't fuck around. You want to kill my boss's girlfriend, well that just isn't going to work. You fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. So, it's time to say goodbye. Your sorry ass doesn't deserve to live."

The man tried to get the gun out of his mouth. It was inevitable when Renji meant business and as the vicious words slipped from his lips, the victim wanted to tell Renji he wasn't exactly going to kill Rukia, he was just helping by leading them here, but it was too late he was about to die.

With the last thoughts running through the masked man's head, Renji pulled the trigger and the bullet blew more brain matter on the concrete.

Grimmjow had already beat his victim till he no longer had a recognizable face. He was masked of course, but now his mask was imbedded in his face. Grimmjow's knuckles trickled blood on the cement as he stared at his boss knowing it was time to flee the scene and save Rukia.

"So, where to first girls?" Rangiku asked excitedly.

"To my brother's place so I can move my stuff into Ichigo's house." Rukia said coldly.

"I can't believe you are moving in with that ass. He's such a pig, Rukia, if only you knew."

Rukia could feel her anger rising. Her skin was getting hot and her knuckles were turning white.

"Well, just because he treated you like shit doesn't mean he will treat me that way."

"Whatever you say, Rukia."

When Rangiku parked the car, Rukia quickly got out and slammed her door.

Tatsuki quickly followed her.

"Rukia, what's wrong?"

"Just leave me alone, Tatsuki. I don't want to hear your shit, too. I'm happy and everyone keeps giving me shit just because my boyfriend use to date sluts!"

"I heard that!" Rangiku yelled.

"What are you going to do about it, bitch!" Rukia screamed.

"Damn, I was just trying to help you, Rukia!"

"I don't want your help." With that Rukia walked off leaving both females behind.

She walked along the sidewalk fuming to herself. Screw them she didn't need their help. Ichigo would just help her move, so she headed to his house.

"Hey, Lilinette, look." Harribel whispered.

"Yeah, that's her."

Both girls giggled quietly while loading their guns.

"Are you sure you don't wanna use a knife?" Lilinette asked anxiously.

"That does sound more fun. We could slit her throat and watch the blood flow freely onto the concrete. I want to see the look on Kurosaki's face when he sees her dead."

Both girls laughed viciously as they watched Rukia closely.

Lilinette spotted a brick on the ground and took it as her opportunity. She picked it up and whispered to Harribel.

"How about I just hit her on the head and knock her unconscious? Then we can slit her throat, that way she doesn't even scream."

"Sounds good. Let's do it, Lilinette."

Lilinette crept up slowly behind Rukia hoping her presence would stay unknown to the unsuspecting victim.

"The bitch is going down." Harribel crossed her fingers hoping Lilinette wouldn't ruin anything.

Rukia kept fuming to herself. She had no idea she was about to be knocked out and that she was number one on Gin's list.

"Come on, Rangiku. I think you should just keep your mouth shut and apologize to, Rukia. Let's go find her before she gets herself in trouble. It seems wherever she goes danger follows and now that she's Ichigo's girlfriend I'm sure there are a lot of men after her."

"I don't see why I have to apologize. I didn't say anything wrong. You know me, I just state facts."

"How do you know Ichigo will fuck her over? Just because he fucked you over means nothing, Rangiku. I've seen her and Ichigo interact and they are so cute together. I was against it at first, too, but as time progressed I realized Ichigo wasn't just after her to get into her pants. This is why we need to keep a close eye on her Rangiku. You know once Gin finds out Ichigo truly loves her she's a goner."

Rangiku sighed in defeat. "Let's go look for her."

Xxxxxxxxxx

Rukia couldn't remember a time she had been so happy and here everyone was trying to ruin it. Rangiku was Ichigo's ex, so why should she like her anyway? She was a slut, a baby killer, and a bitch. All the more reason to hate her.

Suddenly, Rukia heard foot steps and just as she turned around everything turned black and her body felt heavy.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lilinette quickly came up behind Rukia and bashed her as hard as she could on the back of her head. Hoping maybe that killed her. Maybe it crushed her skull.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

Ichigo was going about 100 down the freeway cause all he cared about was getting to Rukia. If a cop tried to pull him over he would just go even faster. Nothing mattered right now. He couldn't lose her. If he lost her he would lose everything.

Ichigo had sent Rukia a text asking where she was and she told him. He told her to wait for him and she told him no problem.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lilinette and Harribel felt to see if Rukia had a pulse and she still did. She would probably become conscious soon. So, Lilinette quickly grabbed the knife and held it to Rukia's throat and just as she was about to slash a straight line she was pulled back.

"You stupid bitch! What do you think you're doing?" Lilinette felt blood spill from her nose. She had been punched by some chick and Harribel was in a fight too.

It was Rangiku who punched Lilinette in the nose.

"I'm going to kill you, then I'm going to kill your friend!"

"Bring it on!"

Rangiku had Lilinette in a headlock. Taking a fist full of hair she smashed her enemies face on the sidewalk and kept smashing it until her teeth were falling out of her mouth.

Lilinette hated the taste of blood. But before she could even reflect on that, her world soon turned black as well. Before she lost consciousness the last words she heard coming from her killers mouth was, "Bitch, you should know better than to fuck with, Rukia. When Ichigo gets here I'm sure he'll put a bullet through your skull."

Tatsuki had blood all over her knuckles and face. Harribel was a strong girl and wasn't going to go down easily.

Just when Tatsuki thought it was the end, Rangiku jumped on top of Harribel. Just then Ichigo pulled up with Renji and Grimmjow.

Sighing in relief Tatsuki ran over to her still unconscious best friend while tears filled her eyes.

"Rukia, please don't die."

"Rukia!"

That was the first name to leave Ichigo's mouth as he ran toward his defeated girlfriend.

He knelt beside her before feeling for a pulse. She was still warm and had a pulse. He felt relieved, but he was beyond pissed. Turning around he saw Lilinette laying on the ground and Rangiku still fighting Harribel. Taking his gun from his pocket and loading it, he walked over to Lilinette. Knowing damn well she was the one who did this.

He could hear unpleasant moans coming from her. Grabbing her hair he rolled her over so she was facing him before pointing the gun to her face. He laughed when he watched her stare at the gun with wide eyes.

"Stupid pathetic bitch! Give me one good reason why I should let you live? You've fucked with my friends, and my family, but when you fuck with my girlfriend that's when it gets really deep. Anyone who touches Rukia is dead before they even do it. If it wasn't for your comrades leading us on I would've killed you way before this happened."

Lilinette just grinned at Ichigo and laughed.

"Don't laugh at me! You think this is all a big joke, don't you? Well, it's not. If you have any last words, say them now."

"I do. Fuck you, your girlfriend, and your whole pathetic gang. Gin will win and succeed before anymore brats come along just like you."

Ichigo sighed and pulled the trigger. Lilinette no longer had a face. Ichigo kicked her body until it rolled off the sidewalk.

Half of the cops were on his side anyway. His father was a well known and liked man.

Hearing another gun shot Ichigo looked up and watched Harribel take three shots in a row to the chest. Renji had shot her. Tatsuki and Rangiku both had bloody faces. Both girls were beside Rukia crying.

Ichigo walked over with a deeper scowl than usual on his face.

"You two go with Renji and Grimmjow. I will take care of Rukia and I'll call you when I find out anything."

"Okay, Ichigo." Both girls said in unison.

Ichigo picked up his girlfriend and walked her to his dad's clinic. Even when Rukia was unconscious she snuggled into his chest. He knew she would be okay, but he was still worried. Obviously Lilinette isn't very tough or Rukia has one hell of a hard skull.

Ichigo entered his father's clinic and saw his dad dismissing a patient. Ichigo noticed his dad look at him. He could tell he had questions and Ichigo was going to answer every one of them. It had been a couple of weeks since they had visited with each other. His dad knew about Rukia, but hadn't met her yet. Sadly he was going to meet her under shitty circumstances. This was the first girlfriend he ever had that he was going to introduce to his dad and sisters.

"Dad." Ichigo choked out trying his best to be strong.

"This is my girlfriend, Rukia. You know the one I told you about. Gin sent two girls to attack her and she's been hit in the back of the head with a brick. I-I think she's okay. She still has a pulse and she's breathing."

Isshin gave his son a small smile before walking up to him.

"Follow me and we'll get her checked out."

Ichigo followed his dad and laid Rukia in the hospital bed.

"She's beautiful, son."

Ichigo's face turned red as he removed a strand of hair from her pale face.

Isshin walked over to his son's girlfriend taking her pulse and blood pressure. Everything seemed fine. He moved her head to the side to see the gash. It was medium sized and had blood dried on it. Taking a glimpse of his son out of the corner of his eye, he could see how worried he was. Isshin knew she was the one indeed. It was perfect and all made sense. After all, him and Byakuya were actually great friends.

"She should be fine. I'm going to dress her wound. She's lucky Ichigo. This lady obviously has a hard skull or the girl who attacked her was a wimp." Isshin smiled at Ichigo.

"You better take good care of her son. Don't let anyone harm her. We can't let them mess up the plan to help end all of this gang violence."

Ichigo gave his dad a questioning look.

"Let me rephrase that. How about, don't let me see her back in this clinic unless she's having my first grand child!"

Ichigo punched his dad in the face and blushed.

"I'm proud of you." Isshin said while doctoring the back of Rukia's head.

"It's about damn time." Ichigo said smiling.

"Alright, she's all fixed up and she should be up at the latest in 12 hours."

"Thanks dad."

"I haven't heard you say that in a real long time. You're very welcome. When she feels better you should bring her over for dinner. I'm sure Yuzu and Karin would like that."

"I will."

"When she wakes up make sure she eats and drinks something. She will probably be pretty tired for a couple of days."

"I will take care of her. I'm not going anywhere. As long as she's in that hospital bed I'm going to stay right by her side."

"You may want to tell Renji and Grimmjow that so you can leave them in charge of everything."

Ichigo pulled out his phone to text Renji.

Hey, Renji, I'll be at the hospital till Rukia wakes up. Tell everyone she's okay. You and Grimmjow are in charge until I get back.
