Author's Note: Alright here it is the next chapter. But first a random shout out…BATMAN! That is all.
Ichigo: "Must be your sane moments."
Me: "Yeah I guess. I'm just happy cause I had an amazing Thanksgiving with my crazy family! :D"
Ichigo: "I just hope they aren't as crazy as you."
Me: "Of course they are. How else do you think I got this way? :D"
Ichigo: "Why do you keep making that face? It's creeping me out."
Me: :D
Ichigo: "Uh Bleach does not belong to this…human or at least this thing that looks human. All rights belong to Tite Kubo."
Me: "Which reminds me… DAMMIT KUBO!"
Rukia: "Move along nothing to see. Put up the story quick. The story dammit! You don't want to see this."
Chapter 10
"Hey Rukia!"
Rukia turned around to see Orihime rushing towards her.
She smiled at her, "Oh hey Orihime."
Orihime stopped in front of her breathing heavily, "You should have come with us yesterday! It was so fun!"
"Really? Well maybe next time," Rukia said in her school girl voice.
Orihime jumped happily, "Yeah of course!" She suddenly sees Tatsuki heading there direction and waves at her excitedly, "Hey Tatsuki!"
Tatsuki smiled at them, "Sup guys? Hey Rukia sorry you couldn't come with us yesterday."
Rukia waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry in fact I should be the one apologizing."
"Rukia!"
She turned around to see Renji running towards them. She had a worried expression. 'He must have heard what had happened from brother. I have to make sure he doesn't let the others know about this.'
She quickly turned to face Orihime and Tatsuki, "Will you please excuse me." When she turned around she crashed into a large body. 'Shit I'm too late.'
"What happened yesterday," Renji said as he looked her over for any injuries. He noticed that there was something off about her face. 'Is that makeup? She never uses that stuff! Fuck don't tell me…"
"Renji."
The sound of her voice broke him from his thoughts. He looked at her face. He can tell that she was angry and annoyed with him.
"What's the matter? Did something happen to you Rukia?" Tatsuki asked after watching their little exchange.
Rukia gave Renji a sour look before looking at Tatsuki with a big smile on her face, "No of course not. It's just something silly. Don't worry about it."
'Damn that idiot! Making them worry for nothing. Just hope he took the hint and is going to shut his mouth.'
Unfortunately for her Renji didn't take the hint.
"What are you talking about? Don't pretend…"
Rukia stopped him by elbowing him in the stomach causing him to double over in pain. Rukia just kept smiling and chuckled, "Stop making a scene Renji. You're embarrassing me." She continued to laugh nervously.
Tatsuki gave her a wary look while Orihime looked at all three of them confused about the whole situation.
"Rukia."
She immediately stopped laughing. She looked over her shoulder in disbelief, "Brother what are you doing here?"
A group of students separated to allow passage to the Kuchiki noble in the same fashion as when Moses separated the Red Sea. Many of them recognized him and stared in awe while others cowered away or gave him sour looks. He stopped a few feet away from where Rukia and Renji were standing. He looked around as if he was inspecting the area. It seemed he looked everywhere and at everyone BUT Rukia.
"I donated some money to the school," he finally said still not looking at her, "I came to monitor the progress of the school fair but most importantly the school play. It is one of the main events."
"Oh I see," Rukia replied casting her eyes downward, "Well since you're here I guess I should introduce you to my friends this is…"
"Orihime Inoue," Orihime said while bowing respectfully, "Nice to meet you. Rukia you never told us you had a brother."
Rukia laughed nervously, "I guess it never came up. Oh and this is Tatsuki Arisawa."
"Sup," Tatsuki as she looked at Byakuya and then at Rukia.
Orihime nudge Tatsuki lightly, "Don't be rude. Wow this is going to be great! You must be so proud of Rukia! Seeing that she's the lead and all."
"Never crossed my mind. Now if you'll excuse me my time is short," he coldly replied as he walked past them, "Come Renji."
Renji followed him but not before giving Rukia a "we're going to talk about this later" look. Rukia mouthed okay and he left.
Tatsuki glared at Byakuya as he walked away, "Well isn't he the cherry on top. He can at least show at least some sort of encouragement geez."
"Tatsuki!" Orihime exclaimed surprised by her friend's word.
"What?" She looked at Rukia, "Oh sorry Rukia I know he's brother. I was just…"
Rukia stopped her and smiled, "It's alright. I understand just don't worry about it. I don't need his encouragement."
'But it would be nice if he gave some every once in a while.' She added to herself.
Tatsuki smiled knowingly and realized that she forgot something, "Oh yeah speaking of lead roles. Let me be the first to welcome you to hell."
Rukia blinked wondering if she had heard wrong, "What?"
Tatsuki laughed at her expression, "I'm just joking. Look I know that Ichigo can be a jerk sometimes and he WILL annoy you but he's harmless. You'll find out eventually seeing that you will be spending a lot of time with him."
"Yeah it seems you're going to be the first girl to get Ichigo's undivided attention. Watch out for the claws!" said the red head from before.
Rukia jumped back a few feet. 'Whoa where the hell did she come from?'
"What claws?" Rukia asked after she got over her shock.
"Oh yeah I forgot to mention this," Tatsuki said not all affected by Chizuru's sudden appearance, "Well I guess you can say that Ichigo has a group of fan girls."
It took a while for this to process in Rukia's mind. She started laugh uncontrollably, "That's *laugh* a good *laugh* one Tatsuki!"
Tatsuki remained serious but there was a ghost of a smile on her lips, "I'm not joking. It's the truth."
Rukia stopped laughing, "You're serious!"
"As serious as a heart attack," she responded calmly yet smiling, "Believe it or not there were a lot of girls that just audition for the part of Juliet because Ichigo was Romeo. This means there were a lot of girls that were just about ready to rip your head off when they found out you got the role."
Rukia didn't know how to respond. 'Come on they can't be that desperate! I would think the "get the fuck away from me" look plastered on his face 24/7 would have had them running away. But then again…' The image of Ichigo from this morning flashed through her mind and she forgot that Tatsuki, Orihime, and Chizuru were still there.
Tatsuki saw her dazed expression and tried to get her attention, "Rukia…Rukia! Hey Kuchiki!"
Rukia snapped out of it, "Huh…what?"
Tatsuki sighed, "We're still here ya know. Didn't think the news would shock you so much."
Rukia tried to clear her head of the image, "Ah yeah sorry. I just never expected it. Thanks for the warning."
"No problem it was my pleasure!" Chizuru said, "Though there's one last thing I want to warn you about." Chizuru pulled Rukia close to her and whispered into her ear, "Just don't let him get you into his bed before I get you into mine!"
Chizuru started laughing while Rukia stood where she was frozen and her face beet red.
Tatsuki was able to hear what she said and was angered, "You idiot look at what you did! She's petrified! Also unlike you Ichigo would never do that!"
Chizuru started dancing around a frozen Rukia unaffected by Tatsuki's words, "Of course he wouldn't! He's too much of a prude but who knows he could be a closet perv!"
"Dammit Chizuru! You better hope I don't catch you!" Tatsuki yelled as she lunged at the red head. Chizuru dodged the attacked and ran away with Tatsuki at her heels. This left Orihime with the job of unfreezing Rukia.
She laughed awkwardly, "Don't worry Chizuru was just kidding. Tatsuki right Ichigo would never do that. As a matter of fact he's actually very shy with girls. The only girl he's comfortable with seems to be Tatsuki but that's because he sees her as a sister. I mean it makes sense they have known each other since they were kids. Umm…oh I don't think you have to worry that much about those girls they're not that bad um." No response. "Hehe it's kinda funny whenever a girl confesses to him he turns bright red and stumbles on his words. It takes him a while to turn them down." No response. "I…should know I confessed to him." That did it.
Rukia stared at Orihime with the disbelief evident on her face, "You…you liked Ichigo?"
Orihime smiled, "Yeah…well I kind of still do but he turned me down."
Rukia thought about this for a moment. From what she had noticed during the short time she has been at the school she could tell that any guy would kill to have her as a girlfriend. 'He turned her down?'
"Um Rukia we should really get going to class. We don't want to be late and upset ," Orihime said while pulling at her sleeve.
They both made it in time. As Rukia sat in her seat, next to Orihime this time, she was certain of one thing well several but it all led to one conclusion.
'A one way ticket to HELL!'
Just before the late bell is about to ring Renji, Keigo, and Mizuiro rush inside and then…
'Speak of the devil!'
Ichigo sat in his seat next to Keigo as said boy kept rambling on about some nonsense. Ichigo told him to shut up and turned in his chair to get away from him. Ichigo then noticed that Rukia was staring at him and quickly looked away with a slight blush on his cheeks. Rukia sighed and noticed that several girls were glaring at her.
'The fan girls I presume.'
Just then someone behind her pulled her hair causing her to drop the pencil she had in her hand. As she leaned over to pick it up the girl sitting next to her, not Orihime, kicked her causing her to fall out of her chair. Orihime looked over at her with concern and Rukia smiled at her to assure her that she's fine. Before any of them can cause more harm the bell rang and Ms. Yoruichi entered the room.
"Okay class today is our first practice so you better be prepared," she said gaining everyone's attention, "I can already tell that most of you won't survive. Please if anyone notices that someone is missing do not be alarmed. They are most likely crying in the corner complaining about ever being born." She smiled at all the shocked and horrified faces. "Now that we have that establish class I would like to introduce you to the man that made this all possible, Byakuya Kuchiki."
There was a considerate amount of murmuring as a tall, lean man with black raven hair that went past his shoulders and piercing gray eyes entered the room.
"Whoa this is the guy? He looks young! I thought he would be old!"
"Wait did she just say Kuchiki?"
"The noble?"
"Yeah but I meant more on the lines of RUKIA Kuchiki."
"Oh hell no! Don't tell me she's related to him!"
"Well it explains how she got the lead."
"Of course I mean she could whore herself out since our teacher is a woman."
Rukia ignored the comments directed at her. She was already used to people talking behind her back. She looked at the front of the class with a blank expression. Yoruichi gave her a knowing glance before silencing the class.
Ichigo just sat in his desk quietly with his fists clenched as he looked out the window. He stole a glance at Rukia and then looked at her brother his eyes burning with hate.
"Alright now everyone get your stuff and let's go to…"
"Excuse me is this Ms. Shihoin's classroom?"
The entire class looked at the new comer except for Ichigo and Rukia.
Yoruichi smiled despite the fact that she was interrupted, "Yes as a matter of fact it is. What can I do for you?"
A girl with black-purple hair tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon and large amber eyes jumped in front of the room and twirled gaining everyone's attention including Ichigo and Rukia.
"I'm a new student here," she chimed, "Hello everyone it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Senna!"
Author's Note: *sigh* I'm confused.
Ichigo: "What? Confused about what?"
Me: "I don't know how to feel about this chapter. Did it go well? I just…*dies from thinking too hard*
Ichigo: "Yes victory! I'm Free!"
Me(tackles Ichigo and pins him): "Haha Tricked ya!"
Ichigo: "What the…? Get off will you!"
Me(puts him in a head lock): "Okay so I think this chapter is okay. Sorry for the wait I was umm…busy yeah that's the word. Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums!"
Ichigo(trying to free himself): "What…the…HELL?"
Me: "Song by A Perfect Circle! I love it!" (releases him) Oh break is almost here. Just have to get through finals next week and then I will have more time to write! Yeah! I also have more time to mess with Ichigo! XD"
Ichigo: "Great O.e"
Me: "Until next time!" (Tackles Ichigo again)
