The Trouble with Love-games
Eventually you are going to lose…
Thanks for my encouraging reviews from StrawberryDragon94 and nana6906 for the last chapter! That is all, story time!
Oh and I don't own bleach.
…..
'I already read the chapter of the book that covers this, does this guy think that we are all morons? Why set us pre-reading if you are just going to regurgitate that exact same information in the goddamn lecture?'
Rukia was bored. She sat there, chin resting on her hands, in the surprisingly full lecture theatre. People often didn't turn up to Friday lectures. In fact most people chose to go to the Monday lecture that covers the same topic, however, it had snowed this Monday, so Rukia suspected most people had decided to come today. She was strangely grateful, since it meant the lecturer was less likely to notice her not paying attention.
She found her attention wandering out of lecture 26 to focus a certain Ichigo Kurosaki.
'I never thought tutoring him could be fun, he's so easy to wind up, it's adorable! Wait, did I just call that spikey headed idiot adorable? I must just be sleep deprived or something… I'll get some coffee before work and I'll be fine. And I will not give him a thought till I see him again Monday. Pfft. Adorable my ass'.
…..
Ichigo threw down his pen in frustration. It bounced off the edge of his desk, coming back to hit him square on the nose.
'Great'
He sat there and closed his eyes, running his hands through his spikey hair in frustration.
'Why can I not concentrate dammit!'
He sighed, slammed his MacBook shut and went to the kitchen, where he ran into Uryuu, who was cooking some kind of stir-fry. It smelt pretty good.
"Hey Kurosaki, did Rukia put you through your paces earlier?"
"Why don't you just have another get together and bitch about Ichigo session?" He snapped.
"Oh we will don't you worry, you have no idea how long I've waited to find someone who doesn't think the sun shines out your every orifice round here!"
"That's great Ishida. Real great"
Ichigo got a can of coke from the fridge and left Uryuu alone with his cooking.
'Well that's strange, he usually seems to relish exchanging insults with me, and usually tries to steal some of whatever I'm cooking, something must really be plaguing him… Wonder if its Rukia, now THAT would be interesting!'
Back in Ichigo's room he sat back on his computer chair, and began swivelling around mindlessly.
She kept popping into his head. That small, raven haired, violet eyed girl. She made him laugh. She challenged him. And she was cute as hell.
'It must just be the fact she hasn't fallen for me yet that's bringing her into my thoughts so much. She's not even here and she is still managing to piss me off! Christ! That has to be it. The only other explanation is that I, that I like her? NO there is no way that can be it! I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, renowned womanizer, and there's no way I fall for some ordinary common girl.'
'But she's not ordinary,' Said that annoying little voice in the back of his head
"Shut up!" He yelled through gritted teeth.
'Great, now I'm talking to myself'
He opened up the computer again. He was going to finish this practice paper before soccer practice even if it killed him.
….
"Oh this one is so cute Momo! Get this one!" Rangiku cried cheerfully, brandishing a platted brown leather belt.
"Yeah, I guess"
"Come on Momo, please cheer up. You haven't been yourself all day, you love shopping!"
"I don't feel like shopping today"
"Is this about Aizen, Momo are you frightened of him"
"No of course not!" she looked at the floor
"I'm your best friend Momo, you can't lie to me"
"I'm not lying, I know he won't hurt me!"
"You maybe not, but what about Toshiro? How can you date a guy who threatens to hurt your friend because he helped you out when you were in trouble! I bet if Aizen were there he wouldn't even have cared! He'd have loaded you of on me in the first place!"
"You can't say that Rangiku that's not true! Sosuke loves me! You don't know him!" She burst in to tears and ran away, into the crowded shopping mall.
Rangiku dropped all of her bags, and made to follow her.
"MOMO!" she yelled, looking through the crowd. However, Momo was so small, and in such a big crowd, she had simply disappeared.
'Oh I hope she doesn't do anything stupid! What am I meant to do!'
Rangiku returned to the store, picked up her bags, and called Gin.
"Babe, you have to keep Aizen occupied, Momo just ran off in a fit of tears about Aizen threatening us lot, spewing some crap about how we don't know him, you have to make sure he cant hurt her, I'm terrified that's where she is planning of going."
"Ran, honey, it will be ok, Aizen called an extra soccer practice, so we're gona be busy in the hall, and ya know how serious my captain takes his security, he's so paranoid sometimes! As if someone's gona try infiltrate a soccer practice…"
"Oh I'm glad to hear it! I was gona see if you wanted to go for dinner tonight, but under the circumstances…"
"Ya should go be with your friends an' find Momo. If y'all find her before tomorrow maybe I'll take ya out for a nice meal after the game? Then after that maybe you can come to mine and we can make use of these nice new sheets ya got me…"
"Haha Gin you are so bad!" She giggled "Okay, I'll find Momo, you keep Aizen focussed on soccer, then everyone else can look after Momo tomorrow."
"Love ya my Ran-chan"
"You too sweetie"
'Ok,' thought Rangiku as she hung up the phone 'Time to call the girls and get our search party on'

I'm still not really sure whether I like this chapter, so your feedback would be appreciated more than ever! Cheers guys!
