…
"YOU BASTARD!" the screaming begun!
"What?" Ichigo looked perplexed by his girlfriend's sudden anger, which she appeared to be directing at him. "Rukia what's wrong?"
The midget was breathing heavily, almost shaking with rage.
"YOU AND YOUR SICK BRAIN ARE WHAT IS WRONG! WHO THE FUCK GOES ROUND MAKING BETS ABOUT GIRLS! YOU MAKE ME SICK!"
Ichigo took a second to process the information being hurled at him.
'Bets… about girls… Renji running out… Rukia angry… oh my god he told her! SHIT'
"Rukia, sweetie, it is not as bad as it looks!" He began to protest.
"OH REALLY! So you making me think you actually liked me, and kissing me, and getting into bed with me, THAT WAS ALL JUST COINCIDENCE!"
"Well, sorta, you gotta let me explain!" He began to panic, her voice had become tear filled, and she sounded like she was about to break. "Please Rukia! Sit down with me and I'll explain it all"
She stood there, silently.
"Rukia?" He was confused again.
'The shouting was preferable to the silence…'
"No."
"But" He began.
"No. I don't ever want to speak to you, see you, or be in the same room as you again. You are utterly vile, and I seriously hope you get kicked out of uni. Goodbye."
He tried to grab her arm to stop her pushing past him, but she spat on him. The shock of such a sweet girl doing such a disgusting thing shocked him into releasing her, and she walked by, not looking back.
Uryu was no longer able to ignore the racket outside. He pulled on his dressing gown, and went to add some noise of his own, planning on telling everyone to shut up. However, when he got to the kitchen, which turned out to be the source of the yelling, the door lay ajar.
'That sounds like Rukia, and she sounds like she is on the verge of tears, what an earth has Ichigo done' He thought as he observed the scene between the male and female. She looked hostile, a raging ball of white hot anger. He looked like someone desperately trying to be heard, but kept being shouted down. Then, he watched as Ichigo grabbed Rukia, and she spat on him.
'What the hell! Did that actually just happen?'
Apparently it did, because the orange haired boy let her go, a look of utter surprise painting his features.
Rukia slammed the kitchen door, and almost walked into Uryu.
"Uryu! I'm… I'm…sorry!" She burst into tears, and threw her arms round the unsuspecting boy. Luckily he caught her and hugged her back, trying to reassure her.
Ichigo poked his head around the kitchen door, and made to speak, but Uryu shot him with a look that could kill, and performed a shooing motion behind Rukia's head, so she wouldn't notice.
"It's ok Rukia, you can sleep in my room, I'll take the couch, and if you want in the morning, we can talk."
"Th- Thank you", she said shakily, following the boy to his room.
Ichigo stood there, dumbfounded.
'I knew this would happen. I shouldn't have lied to Renji. But then, she'd still be mad if she found out about the bet, gahhh! This is all that stupid idiot Renji's fault'
With that thought in mind, he marched his way down the corridor to scream at Renji.
Renji was just settled down nicely, about to fall asleep, having climbed into bed very carefully so as not to wake the evil girl from her slumber. However, it seemed his effort was wasted.
Ichigo burst into the room, all guns blazing.
"RENJI YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"
"Oi piss off I was asleep!"
Tia had also woken up, and looked at Renji. "What did you do now you moron?"
"HE PISSED OFF MY GIRLFRIEND THAT IS WHAT, AND NOW SHE IS NEVER GONA TALK TO ME AGAIN AND ITS ALL COS YOU COULDN'T KEEP YOUR DUMASS BIG MOUTH SHUT"
Ichigo collapsed onto Renji's sofa under the weight of his own words. She was never going to talk to him again. He put his head in his hands, and tried not to cry.
Renji watched as his friend broke down. He had never seen Ichigo like this before. He always laughed everything off. The one time he had seen Ichigo close to this state was on the anniversary of his mother's death.
'He must seriously have liked this chick, why didn't he just say, sure I would have ribbed him a bit, okay a lot, but this is much worse!'
Renji moved out of bed, Tia even tucked herself in to allow him to pass. He sat down next to his friend, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Dude, why didn't you tell me she was your girlfriend? You told me you banged her how was I meant to know you actually liked her. You might try telling me these things so I don't put my foot in my mouth once in a while."
"Perhaps if you paid attention, idiot," Tia decided to give her opinion "You'd have noticed that carrot top here and the tiny girl have looked totally into each other the whole time. Honestly, 2 days I've known you people and it was obvious to me…"
"Shut up Halibel you aren't helping!" Renji said through gritted teeth.
She shrugged.
"It started off as me just flirting with her cos of the bet, but I duno, she just, she's not like other girls. I've never enjoyed being round a girl so much, even though she is annoying little midget who pisses me the hell off all the time."
"You shoulda just told me man. Forfeited the bet. Sure you'd be humiliated for a night, but that has to be better than this…"
"I know, I know, I'm an idiot!" Ichigo began sniffing again.
"Yeah, you are, and a pathetic one."
He looked up at Renji.
"Stop crying about it and get your ass thinking about how to get her back"
"But she said she never wants to see me again?"
"Yeah, and pineapple head over there says that to me every ten minutes but she's here with me."
"Hey that's not my fault I can't leave till all this snow goes!"
"Dude! Still not helping, you are meant to say you don't mean it."
"No I do."
Ichigo giggled. Their bickering reminded him of himself and the midget. It made him think that Renji and Tia were perfect together. And so were him and Rukia. Now how was he going to explain that to her?
Renji was an idiot and the yellow haired girl didn't seem to productive when Renji was in close proximity. He needed some brains.
He picked up Renji's cell and called Uryu.
"Oi" said Renji "That's my…" Tia had shoved her hand over his face, allowing Ichigo quiet.
"Uryu, I need your help. Yeah I know she is mad, I know I deserved to be yelled at, but you have to help me fix this."
The boy on the other end thought about it.
"Fine, but this is for Rukia, not you"
A few minutes later, the slim boy walked into Renji's room, glasses on, ready to plan.
He listened as Ichigo and Renji explained everything, occasionally calling Ichigo an idiot. Tia, seemed to have lost interest, and was now sleeping, her head resting on Renji's shoulder and her arm hugging his chest.
"Right. Well, first, you have to make sure everyone knows you made a mistake and you are really sorry. Send everyone a text or something explaining what happened. That way they might not be so many about you when Rukia comes to them looking for a bitching session."
"Wow that is reassuring"
"Shut up. Then, you have to get her a thoughtful present to say you are sorry, and write her a letter explaining that you were wrong, that you will never be so stupid again, but don't give them to her yourself cos that might make her mad seeing you."
"How was I supposed to know I would fall for her?"
"No don't say that, you'll make it sound like she started out as some other chick you wanted to do"
"Well she did"
"Yes but don't say that she wont like it!"
"Okay okay!"
"You should tell Ju and Shun too, they can explain how foolish young guys are to her, and she will believe them. And she will start to understand. You should tell her you miss her. But not all the time because that will just annoy her."
"Yeah you gotta give her a bit of space dude." Renji nodded in agreement.
"If it is meant to be, which, I think, we all know it is, she will forgive you and come back. You just have to give her time."
"Man" Ichigo flopped back into the seat. "This is gona suck"
"Well, cant say you don't deserve it, I'm going to bed now gentleman. Goodnight." He turned again once he reached the door.
"Oh and Ichigo, try not to screw up anymore."
…
Don't worry guys things will start to look up now! But I wanted to show how upset Ichigo was first. And I didn't want to add the make up period in this chapter, cos I think that in itself might be a long chapter. So till next time folks! x
