Chapter four: Bad pick-up lines

I groaned, using my back to push the heavy box out of the way to make room for all the other things I had packed that were now un-packed. We had just barely started and already I wanted to just hit the sack and leave everything for tomorrow. Ichigo had the right idea about leaving early, but since I lived here, I couldn't escape that easily.

Orihime seemed to be having fun though, she skipped around lightly humming a small tune to herself as she would grab objects from the boxes and would place them neatly on a table and then skip back to take a few more items. Ulquiorra however seemed emotionless; he would just simply pick something up walk over to the table, place it down and walk back to the box without even moving a facial muscle. I shuddered; I don't even think I've seen him blink yet.

Rukia had trouble getting Ichigo to help but as soon as she whispered something into his ear he perked up immediately and dashed from box to box grabbing objects and placing them neatly on whatever surface was available. Rukia just let out a huff of breath and rolled her eyes. "Momo I hope you realize you haven't lifted a finger yet and this is all your stuff were moving" Karin had said as she picked up a small box and dropped it in front of me. I grinned and lifted up a finger, "See, I have lifted a finger"

Karin smiled shaking her head a bit at my obvious dry attempt of humor. "You've gone lazier since the last time I've seen you" She said with a laugh. I pouted, now that wasn't true, okay so I was lazy but I wasn't lazy, lazy.

A few more hours must've passed because as I glanced around at my flat almost everything was unpacked and placed somewhere neatly. It didn't look half bad actually, it felt like home. My fridge did take a bit to arrange since I had some trouble dragging it into place in the kitchen. It was a pathetic attempt that left me with a sore back and a laughing crowd. My TV was already set up thanks to Ulquiorra who also set up most of my electronics around the place.

"I think were pretty much done" Karin announced, folding her arms over her head. "We did good." Orihime beamed, proud of what she accomplished threading her fingers through Ulquiorra's. I couldn't help but find that act cute. As scary as I thought Ulquiorra was he seemed perfect for her—a man with very few words with a woman full of words. Looking back at Ichigo and Rukia I found them quite inseparable as well, though there bickering was constant much like a love-hate relationship it provided humor. They would be great as stand-up comedians.

I half-smiled, it feels like I've known these people for much, much longer instead of just meeting them today. Karin sure did know awesome people. "Thank you all for helping, I'm sure it would've taken me a few more weeks just to get half-way through unpacking"

Karin grinned, draping an arm over my shoulder "Sure, what are friends for?" I smiled fully then. Karin was a good person in her own way, that's pretty much what I loved about her. "Well guys" I said, covering my mouth as I yawned "It's been fun, but I'm seriously wasted" Too much moving was the main cause for my sleepiness.

Rukia glanced at the clock on the wall that she set up before turning and heading to the door, "Yeah your right it's getting pretty late" She said tiredly "We should go" The rest nodded and headed over to the door, Orihime turned to wave before she exited and Karin said a quick 'goodnight' before leaving.

Instead of skipping school as I had planned I decided that it'd be best to just go and get everything over and done with. Of course though I hadn't started the morning off with a bang, I had woken up late, looked like a mess and skipped breakfast. Now that everything was unpacked and placed somewhere I had trouble finding anything. For one I was missing a shoe and a school bag then there was the fact that my hair was everywhere. I growled impatiently using the elastic I had around my wrist as a hair tie. Quickly I tied my hair in a messy ponytail and smoothed out my bangs. At least I didn't look that bad.

I glanced at the clock which was a big mistake because seeing how late I was only made me panic even more. My uniform was a bit crumpled thanks to me since I had pretty much thrown it anywhere. I didn't bother to try and smooth it out and just went in search for my missing objects.

After what seemed like practically forever of searching along with a few curses here and there I managed to find my bag and the missing shoe which was under my bed. How it got all the way there I will never know. I gave myself a quick once over before rushing out of the door and locking it behind me. I pretty much sped down the stairs and out onto the street. I had at least minus five minutes to get to school.

"Aw man" I breathed, weaving around people to try and get through as quick as I could whilst running. And I thought the first day had gone down-hill, the second day just had to come along and compete. I wasn't that faraway now; I was almost there, almost.

As soon as I reached the school grounds there was no one to be seen. The bell must've already rung and everyone was already settled into there roll call classes. Sighing I just walked to class, as out of breath as I was there was no point in any further running. Maybe the teacher will let me off with a small warning since I'm new and all…

"Sorry for being late" I muttered, stepping into the classroom. I didn't bother to try and listen to her shrieking at me for being late. I had said 'sorry' already and besides it wasn't my fault for waking up late. Okay so technically it was my fault but last night took a lot out of me.

The first couple of periods went by slowly and soon the bell had rung signaling for lunch, which I was glad for. "Konbanwa Hinamori-san" Someone called as I stepped out of the classroom. I turned instinctively to the person who said my name. "Um, Hi?" I said, wondering how whoever he was knew my name.

"Oh right, sorry my names Satoshi Maebera" He started and looked me up and down, "I was wondering if you could give me directions"

I tilted my head the side in confusion, I was new here, what made him think I knew this place any better than he did? "To where?"

He smiled, "Your heart"

"Rrrright…" This guy was a complete freak. Waltzing up to me and asking me the utmost stupidest question and answering it in the saddest way I didn't think was possible. I felt sorry for him; whoever put him up to it is a complete asshole.

"You shouldn't wear makeup its ruining perfection"

"… I'm not wearing any"

"You know what?"

"…no"

"If being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged!"

Oh god, please make him stop, he's only embarrassing himself and me at the same time. I laughed nervously and glanced around hoping no one was listening on to his extremely lame attempt at pickup lines.

"I'm sorry, but your lips look lonely- would they like to meet mine?"

"No, they would not! Mind explaining to me the means for all of this?"

Satoshi only grinned widely, "Baby did you just fart? 'Cause you just blew me away"

This was just never-ending torment I'm sure if he had said that to another girl he would be leaving with a black eye and a red handprint across his cheek. But since this was me I would probably and most likely be satisfied in breaking his jaw.

"Please, stop while you're ahead, your only embarrassing us both"

"Sorry, I'm not good at pickup lines… but baby I'd pick you up anytime"

My eye twitched and my hand balled into a fist beside me. It was the second day of school; I shouldn't be getting into any trouble. With whatever restraint I had left I let my anger subside which temporarily saved him from my wrath.

I huffed and turned around, what a pathetic act of—

"Was your Dad a chief? Because you have great buns"

I turned around in that instant and pulled my arm back before I sent my fist forward. "HENTAI!" I screamed as my fist connected to his jaw. He stumbled back a bit and put a hand to his now sore jaw. I narrowed my eyes and glared at him, he had some nerve that damn freaking pervert. "Baka" I muttered under my breath before turning on my heel to walk away.

"Hey you're forgetting something!" Satoshi called and I stopped momentarily to glance at him, "What?"

"Me"

"DAMARE, FREAK!" I shouted and walked off even faster than I had previously. If I ever saw him again it would be too soon. I absolutely couldn't believe he had the audacity to say all those things to me and that not even a punch would shut him up. He was just lucky that wasn't Karin he had said that too, or else he wouldn't have gotten just a sore jaw. I smiled at that, Karin would've kicked him where it hurts most.

A laugh caught my attention and I turned my head to find that same white haired boy that Karin was interested in. I stopped walking in front of him and placed my hands on my hips, "Please don't tell me you put him up to that?" I asked, hoping the answer was 'no'.

Toushiro's lip twitched as he tried to contain his laughter, "Whatever gave you that idea?" He asked his voice slightly cracking. I frowned, why did I even bother stopping to ask him anything in the first place? I muttered things unintelligible as I turned to walk away, but before I could even manage a small step a hand on my wrist stopped me.

Holycrap, that took a dogs age to type, I was stuck on this chapter, I seriously had no ideas for it.

Anyways, next chapter will be better and I'll be getting more into the whole plot with the whole Karin and Toshi + Hina thing.

Review for me?
