Eventually, you will lose…
Thank you to everyone who has read / alerted / favourited the story! It makes me happy! But, you know what would make me really happy, reviews! Just someone saying 'I like this carry on' really does make my day! (sad I know :P)
I don't own bleach, kay?
…..
It was half past 12 now, and the bar was experiencing a busy night.
Thursdays were always popular here, since there weren't many good student nights in town, plus people wanted to save themselves for Friday night antics, and so everyone headed to the bar, for some cheap drinks and dancing with friends.
Rukia was not feeling too tired, though her feet were beginning to ache a little. She finally had a few seconds of no customers hounding her from across the bar, so headed to the glasswash room for a quick glass of water. Nanou, a third year chemistry student who worked the bar, was there unloading glasses from the machines, ready for a fresh load.
"Oh thank god!" Rukia exclaimed "I think I only have about 6 pint glasses left, you're a life saver Nanou!"
"Don't worry about it, the floor was looking a little untidy and I was running low myself, so I did a quick round of the terrace, it's freezing out!"
"How's Kyoraku been tonight" Rukia wiggled her eyebrows, "Still trying to grab a date?"
"Pfft, the man is relentless, doubt he will ever stop" Nanou smirked slightly
"Haha well you can always bribe him to stop with sake! I'll take a tray of these down if you don't mind" Rukia asked, putting her empty water glass in the machine.
"If only it were that easy! Cheers Rukia" Nanou said with a smile, and a worn out sigh.
Kyoraku, the fourth year philosophy post-graduate and her boss, had had the hots for Nanou since her first day. However, she, like everyone else, knew of his playboy reputation, and since she had been heartbroken by this type of guy before, in her first year, she had sealed her heart shut, refusing anyone's advances.
Rukia opened the door, glanced at her till, and groaned. Strawberry and his mates were back.
The black haired boy and a blonde guy with an emo fringe stood at the front of the group this time.
She walked up to them
"What can I get for you this time?"
"We will have a round of sambucca shots please miss" Said the blonde guy politely.
'Well he seems much nicer than the others of this group I've encountered' She thought, thinking bitterly of the strawberry head.
"And TEQUILAAAAAA" yelled the black haired, tattoo guy!
"YEAHHHHH" roared Kenpachi! "And lets get a round of jager bombs, just for fun!"
"Great idea Kenny!" Squealed the pink haired girl who had his arm tightly around her waist "You're the greatest friend ever!"
The guys paid up, and Rukia made their drinks.
She also consented to take pictures on a golden haired girl, who must have been a cheerleader, (Rukia was guessing from her fake tan, giant boobs, and teeny tiny skirt), of the group doing their various shots.
Following this, one girl, a small, sweet looking girl, collapsed, right into the arms of a young looking white haired guy! Most of the group were too busy drunkenly wooping and heading back to the dance floor to notice.
Rukia told Ukitake, and the two of them rushed to help the boy.
"I… er… she just collapsed on me! Ahhhh!" Said the boy, who looked utterly bewilderd.
"What's your name, boy?" Ukitake asked kindly
"I'm Toshiro, I'm a fresher on the soccer team, and this is our friend Momo, I don't think I've ever seen her that drunk!"
"Well, Toshiro, I think it would be best if you took Momo home, you seem pretty sober, and you obviously care for her, so I think you can be trusted, I'll call you a cab myself, you guys live in Montgomery right?"
"Yeah, thank you, Ukitake."
Ukitake called them a cab and saw them to the door. On his way back in, Renji came up to him.
"Hey Jyuu, d'ya know what 'appened to Momo, summa' the girlsa worried 'bout 'er?"
"Yeah, she had a bit much to drink, so I called her a cab, your friend Toshiro is gona see to it she gets home safe though, so you can tell them not to worry" He smiled.
Renji opened his mouth
"You… you sent her home with a guy? Oh no this is bad! Ichigo!"
"But, isn't he your friend?" Ukitake's face was lined with worry and confusion, he thought he had been helping the girl, he does this kind of thing all the time…
Ichigo had arrived at the scene.
"Oh Toshiro isn't the problem, he's a nice guy and he likes Hinamori a lot, so he will take care of it… But Shit will go down when Aizen finds out…"
"Who is Aizen?"
"Her boyfriend"
"Well surely he will understand…"
"Oh no! He is a nasty piece of work, he goes to Arrancar uni, you know, across the river, he is their soccer captain, and he's a right dick." Renji exclaimed.
"Yeah, he and Gin, Matsumoto's boyfriend, are pretty possessive of those two, honestly don't understand what they see in those twats"
"Well if anything happens, don't hesitate to call me and Shuun, I know you boys can take care of yourself, but I'd hate for you to have to deal with my mistake alone."
"No worries Jyuu, we won't let those douches touch us, or Momo, if we can help it"
At half one, the bar was closing, and most people had left. Ichigo's group were still mostly there.
"See ya tomorrow Shuun!" Renji shouted
"Hey we're having a cheeky few at mine and Izuru's flat now if you fancy it? When you're done here?" Hisagi called out to the 2 managers.
"We'll see how long this lot takes lads, see ya!" Yelled Shuunsui to the retreating group
"You take care now!" Jyushiro called, observing Kisuke/Yoruichi and Kenpachi/Yachiru having a piggyback race.
Rukia had just started removing spirits from the back bar and neatly ordering them, so she could clean the back bar, when she noticed a glimpse of orange.
'As if! She thought! Why doesn't he just piss off with his stupid little rich kid friends already!'
"So, miss Rukia, when are we having our little tutoring session" He raised his eyebrows suggestively, drunkenly leaning on the counter.
"Uhh I already told you no! Vile boy"
"I'm not vile, you common midget, bet you're not even smart enough to tutor me are you?"
'That does it! He called me a midget, AND stupid'
"You're pushing your luck strawberry." She said coolly. "I'll tutor you alright, but for no less than 100 an hour"
"Pretty pricey for such a small amount of tutor, I might need to get something else for my…"
"And if you touch me so much as once, I'll personally poison your drink, Strawberry"
Ichigo looked a little shocked, but he assumed he was drunkenly imagining the small girl threatening him so violently…
"Fine midget, got yourself a deal"
"Good, I'll come to Montgomery House, block?"
"B, flat 12"
"At 10am tomorrow"
He wasn't really listening, he was thinking of how to gloat to Renji when he got to Hisagi's, so didn't pay attention to the stated time at all.
"Laters, midget." With that he left.
"DON'T CALL ME MIDGET YOU LITTLE STAWBERRY TWAT!"
But he was gone.
"My my, lovely Rukia, cant have you speaking like that to my best customers" Said Kyoraku.
Rukia looked dumbfounded
"I… er… sorry, sir"
"Relax, I'm just yanking your chain Rukia dear!"
He walked over to Ukitake, as Rukia went back to cleaning the back bar, since she was so rudely interrupted.
"My, I think we may have this bet in the bag"
"I think so, poor Ichigo, kid has no idea what he is in for…"

So there we have my third chapter! Hope it was ok, I haven't been feeling too well today, hopefully this is not reflected in my writing!
Peace out xx
