Yes, this is the next chapter to Blind Justice. And no, I don't own any Bleach characters or songs on DDR SuperNova2. I can always dream, can't I? Uh, don't answer that. Please enjoy. And I do recommend you listen to or play "Blind Justice ~Torn Souls, Hurt Faiths~". It's a really good song.

When Ichigo and Rukia finally made it back down to the first level of Putt-Putt's indoor games, all hell broke loose.

"ICHIGO!!!" Keigo yelled. "YOU and Rukia are?!!!!"

"Friends." Ichigo assured, still holding Rukia's hand.

"With some benefits." Rukia whispered to Ichigo, tightening her hold on Ichigo's hand.

"Okay. That's good, that you two get along." Keigo said. "Well, come on, Rukia. We still want to see some more dancing."

"Okay." Then she reluctantly let go of Ichigo's hand and walked over to the dancing machine, better known as Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova2.

"So who's going to challenge me? Or do I have to play by myself?" Rukia asked tauntingly as she stepped on the machine.

"Chad, why don't you give it a try." Mizuiro suggested. Chad nodded and stepped on the machine, too.

"Chad, if you don't mind I'd like to do 'Xepher'." Rukia said and Chad nodded again. A man of none words, kind of strange and scary.

They turned the song to "Xepher" and as soon as the song started Rukia was singing with the song.

"Existing in this place now are uncleanable lies

I wonder when it has begun

How far do

I have to go to see the light?Stars in your eyes

Stars in your heartYou will live in shadow

of shade and commit eighth sin

Unrequited existence will turn

Everything into sin"

It was harder playing against Chad than it was Renji. For a big guy, Chad really could dance. But he was still no match for the great Rukia Kuchiki. She kicked Chad's giant humongo ass.

Rukia jumped off of the machine and ran straight into Renji. She wanted to get to Ichigo but red head was blocking her.

"What now, Renji?" Ruka asked, bitterly.

"I need to talk to you." was all he said.

"About what?" Rukia asked, looking around Renji for Ichigo.

"About that guy you were with upstairs," Renji whispered so no one could hear him, but Rukia.

"Ichigo? What about him?"

"I don't like it, Rukia," Renji confessed. "You barely know him."

Rukia felt the urge to slap Renji dead across his face. But she decided to choose another route. One that would be almost as bad as slapping him but more funny. "Oh, I see. You're jealous that I want him and not you." Rukia didn't feel the need to make it a question because she knew it was true. The girl was just that smart, most of the time.

Renji's cheeks flushed a bright red, confirming Rukia's statement. "So it makes me jealous for caring about someone?" He asked, still flushed.

"No. It makes you jealous when you like someone for a long time and can't stand when that someone likes someone else." Rukia explained with a fake sweetness.

"How did you know I…?" Renji trailed off because he had never said anything to Rukia. He hadn't said anything to anyone for that matter.

Rukia looked at him like he was the stupidest person on the planet. "I am not retarded, stupid, or blind, Renji. I've known for a long while now. You drop little hints, you big dummy. And I'm sharper than the average person." Rukia said.

"You could have said you knew." Renji said.

"That would have been mean, you know. I had feelings for you but after a while they weren't enough, trust me. I didn't want to tell you that, too." Now Rukia was confessing to Renji.

"Then you met him, right?" It was a rhetorical question, one that made Rukia grimace in the shear memory of what happened to him. "When you were with that Ichigo guy, who were you thinking about?"

"Ichigo, you son of a jackass." And Rukia stormed out of the Putt-Putt complex.

Ichigo was watching the whole affair from the shooting game he was at. He didn't exactly hear anything, but he saw Rukia's expressions. Irritated at first, then calm, then irritated again, and furious at the end. Then she just stormed out of the building after that. He wanted to beat the shit out of what's-his-face.

Rinni? No, that wasn't it. Renne? No, wrong again. Someone get Ichigo a faces and name book. Ren….C'mon, Ichigo, you can do it. Renjigalo! Aw, screw it, Ichigo. You were so close and you just fuck up. I mean, damn. Jigalo? Really? Not a very smart guess, not at all.

Anyway, Ichigo didn't give Renji a good beat down; he went outside. After Rukia. She wasn't really hard to find. Rukia was standing just a little ways away from the door, crying.

"Rukia?" Ichigo said as he approached her. "Are you okay?" Stupid Ichigo, she's crying so she obviously isn't okay.

But Rukia pulled herself together as much as she could. "Yeah, I'm okay." She said, wiping here face and eyes with the back of her hand.

"Rukia, don't lie to me. I can see that you're not okay," Ichigo said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

Rukia flinched at that touch. "I'm okay, Ichigo. Well, I'll be okay."

"Rukia, tell me what's wrong. Please."

"I'm sorry, no."

"If you don't tell me, then I'll just go back inside and kick your friend's ass for making you upset." Ichigo threatened and Rukia laughed. "Hey, I got you to laugh again. That's good."

"It is, I guess." Rukia agreed warily.

"So, will you tell me why you're so upset?" Ichigo asked again.

"It's just that Renji said something that really pissed me off. Let's just say he was hitting below the belt," Rukia explained.

"Is that it? You don't have to worry about guys hitting below the belt with you. I mean you don't have anything down there that would hurt like hell if it got hit. You don't have anything down there that I should know about, do you?" Ichigo got a little scared when she didn't answer for several seconds.

"Hmm…what do you mean? Do you mean a vagina? Yeah, I have one of those. Is that a problem with you? I thought it was normal for girls to have vaginas. Am I wrong?" Rukia said sarcastically.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"Oh. Did you think I had or have a penis? Nope, sorry, I don't. I didn't think you were into that kind of thing, Ichigo." Ichigo was about to say something back, but Rukia didn't let him. "I mean, I don't think I have a penis. I could check if you want. You know what I think I will check to make sure." Rukia looked down the skirt and panties, making Ichigo look away in embarrassment.

"Yep, I'm still a girl. Do you want to take a look, Ichigo? I would let you confirm that I am a girl if you asked nicely."

"Okay, Rukia! I get it! You're a girl, so stop looking down your underwear." Ichigo exclaimed, making Rukia stop looking down her under garments.

"I know. Let's go back inside." Rukia grabbed Ichigo's hand.

"Fine." Ichigo had no idea what he'd gotten himself into.
