*Oh…my…god…* I thought, feeling so nervous on what is about to happen.

I was stepping on his foot and my bloody hands stained his crisp white uniform shirt were on his white shirt. I slowly raised my head to look at his face.

*Eeeee…!* I thought, feeling suddenly scared.

He was giving me a glare or was it a death stare? I feel a dark aura forming above him.

"I-I'm s-sorry!" I stuttered, nervously.

Then I looked at the bed where Ichigo's head was. He was still there, his face still looked annoyed.

*Huh?* I thought, raising my brows.

He narrowed his eyes at me, slowly disappearing, and said,

"I'll see you later at your house."

I reached out my hand for him.

*W-wait!* I thought, desperately.

I grasped my head, thinking,

*What the heck is going on today?!?*

"What are you doing?" a sad, serious voice said, popping out of nowhere.

I turned my head to see who it was. I bowed my head in despair.

*The hell…*

It was Inoue…

*Can it get more worse? What the heck is she doing here?!*

I didn't notice I was sitting on Ulquiorra's lap. I blushed bright red, feeling dizzy. I quickly got up, feeling nauseous.

"U-Ummm…..nothing" I said, nervously.

*Why the hell am I getting nervous for?!*

I started walking towards the bed, before I faint.

"What do you mean 'Nothing'?" she said, angrily.

I was surprised; I haven't seen her act all angry before. Especially since there's no reason to.

*Oh my geeze, what the heck is her problem?*

I breath through my nose and exhaled from my mouth, and said,

"Look, there was a bug, I got scared and accidentally fell on Schiffer."

I turned and looked at her, she looked so pissed.

"Accidentally?! It didn't look like it." she pointed out.

"Why do I have to explain myself to you?" I said thinking out loud, shaking my head.

She walked closer to me and pointed her finger at me. I feel my eyes narrow.

"Just because your boyfriend died doesn't mean you have to hit on the next hottest guy!" she hissed.

I narrowed my eyes further, clenching my fist, and said,

"Don't you dare involve Ichigo!"

I stepped closer to her and she crossed her arms, raising one eye brow.

"Oh yeah?" she said, sarcastically.

I clenched my fist tighter, preparing to launch my fist at her face, when a voice stopped me.

"Stop." Ulquiorra said, standing up, and grabbed my hand.

I forgot he was even in the room.

"You don't have to defend her, Schiffer-kun." she said, suddenly changing her attitude.

He glared at her and said,

"Look, woman, it's none of your business, so get the hell out of here."

My eyes widened and looked at Inoue, her eyes widening, tears forming in her eyes. I actually felt sorry for despite her rude remarks. I felt Ulquiorra's hand remove from my fist.

"L-Look, Inoue, nothing happened so you don't have to worry nor cry" I reassured her.

The suddenly I hear two girls calling her,

"Inoue, come on!" the girl said.

"Hurry up, Orihime! I'm tired of waiting for you." another girl said, sighing out loud.

She quickly wiped her tears and said,

"Okay."

She walked away towards her friends. Then I looked at Ulquiorra and he sighed, tiredly. I waited for their footsteps to disappear.

"Weren't you too harsh?" I said, walking towards the sink.

"Harsh? That was harsh? After what she said to you, that must have hurt you ten times more than what I said to her." he pointed out, sitting back down.

I flinched to what he said.

"It didn't hurt…I was just mad because she involved Ichigo" I said, focusing on washing the blood off my hands.

He was quiet for a moment, I could feel his eyes staring in my back as I wiped my hands on the cloth. I turned around and looked at his shirt. I scrunched my nose and said, shyly,

"Sorry about that."

He looked down at his shirt, disgusted, and said,

"I have to burn this shirt."

I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms.

"You make it sound like I have a disease!" I hissed, angrily.

He smiled, that rare smile of his. I blushed, walking towards the door.

*Why the hell am I blushing?*

He got up and said,

"I'll walk you home."

I stopped and turned to him and said, mockingly,

"No, thank you, I don't want to waste your precious time."

He narrowed his eyes and smirked.

"Heh.. Where did that attitude come from? Here I am worried about a ball coming towards you again and you give me that kind of attitude?" he said, darkly.

"D-Do whatever you want!" I yelled, walking away fast.

I dressed slowly, putting my bloody shirt inside my bag and walked out towards the from gate. I saw him casually leaning back, dressed back in his school uniform, waiting.

"Is this really necessary?" I said, walking past him.

I hear him following me and said,

"Unfortunately, yes"

*Since when was he a gentleman?* I thought, getting annoyed.

I could hear the rhythm of our footsteps, I looked to my right, the sun setting slowly. I asked without looking back,

"So…are you guys an item or something?"

He stopped walking and so did I. I turned to look at him.

"Who?" he asked, blankly.

"You and Inoue, I mean." I said.

He suddenly laughed, softening his stoic expression.

*He looks much better that way*

"W-What's so funny?" I asked.

"You're so funny," he said, laughing a little, "What makes you think that?"

"Cause, um, she got jealous" I said, walking straight ahead.

"Oh…For some reason all of the girls in our school are like that." he said, casually.

"Then don't you have a girlfriend? Cause it looks like a lot of girls like you." I said, curiously.

I was walking a little bit faster now, as he answered, mockingly,

"You interested?"

"Who would?! I just wanted to start a conversation." I yelled, a little bit defensive.

"Ahaa….no need to be guilty."

*I hate him.*

I could tell he was loving this conversation.

"Just answer then…" I sighed, tired of him making fun of me.

"No, I don't have one, they'll just be in the way, other than that there's no interesting girls in this school." he said.

*Yes!, We're almost there!* I thought, happily.

"Oh…really?" I said, stopping in front of my house. "Well, thanks for walking me home, Schiffer."

I was opening the front gate as he said,

" No need to be formal, you can call me Ulquiorra." he said, walking away.

"Okay, bye…Ulquiorra" I said, awkwardly.

"There you go," he said, far away now, " See you later…Rukia"

I stared at him, feeling myself blush when he said my name, I waited for his figure to disappear. I walked inside the house hearing the sound of the T.V. I saw my brother sitting on the couch.

"Welcome home," he said, distracted.

"Yeah, I'm home" I said as I walked up to my room.

I dropped my backpack and saw Ichigo sitting down on my bed. I sighed,

*This is going to be a long conversation…*
