Chapter 2 Dinner Party
She swung over and extended her left wrist towards the top of the door. I thought I was gonna fall, she thought amazed. The exit opened slowly but it didn't close. "Tell everyone to get out!" she yelled.
"You heard! Get out!" he yelled through gritted teeth. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6 people climbed out. "Can I let go now?" he said grunting.
"Yea then swing yourself over here!" Rukia yelled excitedly. Everyone's gonna be fine now, she though happily. She hoped her and Ichigo could talk some more after this. He swung over and extended his hand.
"Grab on." She went to take his hand while keeping her left arm up. She was about to step down but slipped. Her eyes went wide and she heard a "Owwww!". She looked up: Ichigo was holding her dangling in mid-air. How is that even possible, she thought. Then she noticed the other half of his right leg was on the other side of the exist.
"Oh my..! Ichigo are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
"Just fine!" Ichigo grunted attempting to smile. He only got halfway. He extended his other hand as the doors were being pried open. She took it and they were pulled out of the shaft. They both made mental notes not to use the elevator for awhile.
"Oh god! We need a doctor, a stretcher, and a bed! Stat!" she yelled to near by gawkers. She growled. Why are these people so stupid Ichigo is wounded , she thought angrily. One of them finally ran for the stairs repeating, doctor, stretcher, and bed.
"You wounded him…" said a voice in Rukia's head. She gasped it was the voice that made her skin crawl in her dreams.
"No! I mean… It was… DON'T BLAME ME!" she yelled inside her head. She tried to look at Ichigo but all she saw was red. Blood red. This can't be happening not here not now! She was scared. No she was worse than that she was terrified.
"You hurt him… again. He only gets hurt for your sake." The voice had an emotionless tone to it.
"Leave me alone! I'll try to remember! Just go away!!" she sobbed. Everything was going black. But she was covered in red. Covered in blood. "No! No! Go away! Please! Leave me only! I'm not that Rukia! I'm not a fighter!" she said sobbing. She wasn't a fighter. Sure she had been the tough girl during high school but who didn't act that way? Now she was just Rukia. Plain Rukia.
She screamed and opened her eyes. She was in a white room on a bed. Was I unconscious, she wondered. "Hey." said a familiar voice calmly.
"Ichigo-san! I'm so happy you aren't to injured!" she squeaked.
He shook his head. I will get her to be casual with me, he thought sighing. That would take work she seemed… stubborn. "You okay? You were thrashing in your sleep." he said doing his best to hide his concern. It had no effect.
He's concerned… about me, she thought amazed. "Oh just a bad dream." she said blushing. She just couldn't say the dream was partly about him. Then their pagers went off. It was the emergency code.
"Grab my crutches will ya?" Ichigo yelled sitting up. Rukia ran across the room to get crutches leaning on the door. They went as fast as they could to ER. "What's going… Yachiru!" he yelled dropping his crutches and limping to a pink haired girl.
"A massive car crash! Three cars. Two dead. Rests unconscious. Kurosaki-sama." said a stuttering young male.
"Get to work then Hanatoro!" snapped Ichigo checking over the girl. "Rukia please help…" he said his voice tight. Rukia rushed over and started checking her. She wasn't badly injured.
"She'll be fi-" she got cut off by the other nurse Hanatoro.
"Come here Kurosaki-sama! We need you to do a revival!" he yelled.
"Thanks Rukia." he said hobbling off towards the other hospital bed. "Clear left…" she heard him do the revival voice tight. She checked all the patients then sat by Yachiru. The girl's eyes fluttered open.
"Ken-chan look… where am I?" Yachiru said confused. Last thing she remembered was Ken-chan was about to hit another car.
"A hospital. I'm Kuchiki Rukia. I looked over you while you slept who is Ken-chan?" she said in a comforting tone.
Another voice than Yachiru's answered, "My friend who is her legal guardian. My deceased friend." Rukia gasped. No wonder his voice was tight during the rival it was his friend. Now he's deceased who will watch Yachiru, she thought miserably. She looked down Yachiru was crying on her lap. She hugged her closely and Ichigo messed up her hair. "You can stay with me tonight." Ichigo said leaning on a wall.
Sure him and Zeraki had become friends because they beat each other to a bloody pulp. But he would still miss the guy. What would happen to Yachiru? He couldn't send her away put he was not anywhere ready enough to be a parent.
"Ichi-chan! Did you hear me?? I want to stay with you and Kuchiki-san!" she said poking him back into reality. He blushed ferociously.
"Me and Kuchiki-san don't live together Yachiru…"he mumbled avoiding Rukia's eyes. Truth is Rukia was a deeper shade of red than him. "But Kuchiki-san is welcomed for dinner tonight." he said glancing at Rukia.
"I would be delighted!" she said smiling she really liked Ichigo and Yachiru was adorable.
"Yay! I'm getting a mommy and daddy this time!" Yachiru yelled happily hugging Rukia tightly. Rukia went extremely red and turned away from a shocked Ichigo. Then a concerned Hinamori came bursting in.
"Rukia! Oh my gosh! That whole elevator thing. Oh hey Kurosaki-san!" she yelled at Rukia then bowed to Ichigo. He nodded then had an idea.
"Hinamori-san can you watch Yachiru today?" he interrupted the girl's chatting.
"I would love too!" squeaked Momo. She loved children and Yachiru was extremely cute.
"Aww! Bye mommy! Bye daddy!" Yachiru said taking Momo's hand. She smiled brightly and left a shocked and embarrassed Ichigo and Rukia.
"Back to work! You new nurse come here!" barked none other than Kurosaki Isshin. Rukia walked over to him shaking.
"Kuchiki Rukia. Nice to meet you Kurosaki-senpai." she said extending her hand. He burst into laughter as did a few others around him.
"Hear that she called me Kurosaki-senpai! Kuchiki-san just call me Isshin." he said walking away.
"Okay Isshin-senpai." she said bowing. He laughed some more but said nothing else. Ichigo then walked over.
"You are way to formal Kuchiki-san. Oh I'm a terrible cook do you mind..?" he asked shyly. He had asked her on a date and all he could make was scrambled eggs and toast.
She stifled laughter and said, "After work the three of us can go grocery shopping!" She flashed an amazing smile and worked on the rest of her patients.
At the end of the day…
"How was your first day Rukia?" Momo asked her best friend handing her a sleeping Yachiru.
Rukia took the sleeping girl and said, "It was amazing. I'm helping Ichigo and Yachiru with dinner tonight."
"Oo! Can Toshiro and I come? What time? Ichigo's house?" Momo asked excitedly she loved Rukia's cooking.
"Sure umm… 7 o'clock at Ichigo's. Bye Hinamori!" she yelled walking out to Ichigo.
"Bye Kuchiki see you tonight!" she yelled brightly. It was the perfect time to tell everyone her and Toshiro were engaged.
In the car…
"Hinamori and her boyfriend Histugaya Toshiro are coming to dinner also!" she said brightly.
"Yay! Momo-chan is coming! She was nice to me all day!" Yachiru said happily then went into detail about her day. By the time they had reached the grocery store they had decided on sushi.
BRRIINNNGGG!!
Ichigo answered his phone. "Yea… sure… that'd be great… yup see you tonight." He closed his phone. "My ex wants me to meet her new boyfriend. She's coming tonight." he said hoping Rukia wouldn't mind.
She didn't. She just put more ingredients in the shopping cart. Something buzzed in her pursed she searched for it and answered.
Rukia: Hello?
Renji: Hey Rukia! Me and my girlfriend are in town! You wanna hang out tonight?
Rukia: I have er plans… WAIT come to my friend's house for the dinner party!
Renji: Dinner party with who?
Rukia: Kurosaki Ichigo!
Renji: Don't know him! What time?
Rukia: 7 o'clock!
Rukia: Bye.
She hung up her phone and told Ichigo of an extra guest. He scratched his head and asked, "Do you mind eating on mats?"
"No its nice and traditional!" she said brightly.
"Good because my table doesn't hold that many!" Thy both started laughing and finished shopping. They told stories about what they remembered of their pasts laughing the whole way home.
Rukia entered the kitchen and but the bags down. It was 6:30 and she wanted to make things perfect. She began chopping and cutting. She was completely unaware of a certain orange-haired boy watching her. She finished and asked Ichigo to help her set up dinner. It was 6:57. Perfect timing.
Dinnngg- donngg!
"I'll get it!" yelled Rukia walking towards the door. She smiled and let her friends in. This will be perfect, she thought guiding them to the dining area. That was now mats, rice bowls, tea cups, and a feast in the center of the floor. "Sit here Momo and Histugaya-san!" she said brightly.
"Oo! A traditional dinner! What are we having?" Momo said sitting down.
"Sushi! Ichigo-san…" she was cut off.
"STOP BEING SO FORMAL WITH ME!" he yelled with false anger.
"Okay Ichigo! Can you bring out the tea?" she said apologetically.
"Hai! Here you guys go." he said walking out with two tea pots.
Dinnngg- donngg!
"Coming!" Rukia yelled dashing to the door. She opened the door and Renji came in hugging her.
"Missed you shortie!" he said laughing. Rukia kicked him. "Great! You still have 'kick'! Get it kic-" He got slapped by a tall girl with short cut black hair.
"I thought I said no jokes at the dinner party! You embarrass people around you with your shitty jokes! Oh I'm Arisawa Tatsuki." she said turning to Rukia. Rukia burst out laughing she hated Renji's jokes and was glad she wouldn't have to listen to them all night.
"Nice to meet you Arisawa-san! I'm Kuchiki Rukia." she said brightly. They walked in and she was about to close the door when a man with black hair stopped her.
"Is this the Kurosaki residence?" he asked.
"Don't pay attention to him! I'm Inoue Orihime. Call me Orihime." she said hugging Rukia.
"I'm Ishida Uryuu." he said extending a hand. Rukia shook it and led them to the dining area.
"Hey Inoue." Ichigo said leaning on a wall.
Orihime sighed. He barely ever calls me Orihime, she thought miserably. "Hey Ichigo!" she said brightly. She sat down next to Tatsuki who she apparently knew. Uryuu sat next to her.
"Yachiru! Dinners ready!" Ichigo yelled sitting in-between an empty mat and Rukia.
"Coming Daddy!" she said running down the stairs. "Hello everyone. Yachiru here. Momo-chan!" she yelled and then hugged Momo.
"Good to see you Yachiru!" she said hugging the tiny girl. She then sat down next to Ichigo.
"Eat up!" Ichigo and Rukia said in unison making both blush. Everyone chatted about what's been going on in their lives.
"Momo has something to say!" Toshiro said squeezing his fiancée's hand.
She took a deep breath and said, "Toshiro asked me to marry him and I said yes!" Rukia squeaked and hugged her best friend. "Rukia will you be the Maid of Honor?" she asked quietly.
"Of course! Oh I'm so happy for you!" she said bouncing up and down. Everyone clapped and said congratulations. "Wait who's the best man and flower girl?" she suddenly asked Momo.
"That's easy! Flower girl Yachiru. And Best Man Ichigo!" she said brightly
A look of shock crossed Ichigo's face but he agreed to be the Best Man. Yachiru started throwing imaginary flowers at everyone. "I'm gonna be a flower girl Ichi!" she said and ran over and hugged her. By the end of dinner everyone in the room had been invited and it was time to leave. Yachiru was asleep on Rukia's lap.
"Bye everyone! Stay in touch!" she said watching her friends leave. "Which room is Yachiru's?" she asked picking up the sleeping girl.
"The room in the back she can sleep with you tonight." he yelled from the kitchen.
"What do you mean me?" she squeaked practically dropping Yachiru.
"It's late you don't have a car and you're not taking the train. Tomorrow is Saturday no work unless there's an emergency." he said calmly.
"Fine but I won't take your bed! I'll take guest bed or a couch!" she yelled placing the girl on the bed.
"No I'll take guest bed! Yachiru needs a mom tonight!" he yelled back at her.
"No she needs-" she was cut off by a tiny hand pulling her dress. "What is it Yachiru?" she asked nicely.
"Can I sleep with both of you tonight?" she asked sadly.
