Author's Note: Alright here it is the next chapter. Sorry for the late update! First week of school and I got distracted. I'm sorry. Lo siento mucho. Es tut mir leid. Je suis désolé.

Ichigo: "What the….?" O.o

Me: "I'm just saying sorry no need for that face."

Ichigo: "I'm not even going to comment."

Me: "Awww what's the matter Ichigo?"

Ichigo: "Nothing. *under breath* Except that I'm trapped with a crazy lunatic."

Me: "What was that? You want Kenpachi to come back?"

Ichigo: "What? No that wasn't what I said!"

Me: "Silly boy Kenpachi never left."

Kenpachi: "There you are Ichigo." *evil smile*

Ichigo: *sweat drop* "Crap not again…"

Kenpachi: "Ichigo's FAV Twin does not own Bleach. Come back here Ichigo!"

Me: "This is fun. Anyway onward!"

Chapter 12

Senna rolled her eyes as she waiting impatiently for the person on the other line to finish.

"Yes I know I know. You don't have to remind me." She paused to listen. After a while she lost interest and her mind decided to wonder off. Her eyes scanned the room until her eyes landed on the person that had been occupying her mind since she first laid eyes on him.

She jumped slightly when the person on the other line screamed her name. Senna was startled, she had never heard him scream before and made a note to herself to never make him do it again.

"Yes but it's different I swear….Yes I know I have said that before….If you just saw….Just listen to me!" Senna was getting frustrated. There was a long pause.

"I'm listening," he finally said.

Senna breathed a sigh of relief, "Good but I swear this isn't going to be like those other times. I just know it. I saw it when he looked at me with those amber eyes. His hair's an unusual color but it works very well on him. Not many people can pull off orange hair you know."

"Are you done?" he responded in an amused tone.

She scoffed at his comment, "Yeah I'm done geez I was just trying to make you understand."

"What about your oath?"

"Screw it. It was stupid anyways." Senna thought of how all the others had failed. 'No not this time. This time is going to be different.'

"Do as you please. Just don't blame me if something were to go terribly wrong," he laughed.

She hanged up the phone and continued with her gawking as thoughts flooded her mind. A smile graced her lips. 'As of now he's mine.' Her smile turned sour as she got a good look of the girl standing next him.

'I'll get anyone who stands in my way. Good thing I'm her understudy if something were to happen to her then I can take my right place beside him. Sorry Rukia it was nice meeting you but you're going to have to disappear.'

"What now? You stopped again!" Ichigo ran his hand through his hair in a frustrated manner. This was the fifth time Rukia had stopped in the middle of a line. She looked upset and was having a difficult time concentrating.

"It's really annoying," she muttered under her breath.

Ichigo sighed, "What is?"

"She keeps staring at us and it's creeping me out," Rukia said as she pretended to look through the script.

He rolled his eyes, "If you can't concentrate with just one person staring at you then how are you going to act when a whole audience is watching?"

"That's different," she exclaimed, "Just look at her. It's really creepy. She's looking at you like your some god or something."

"If it's me she's looking at then…" he stopped mid-sentence and smirked, "Wait don't tell me you're jealous. You love me that much." He got a punch to the stomach as a reply. "What the hell midget?"

"Ha don't get so full of yourself you cocky bastard," she turned away from him, "Like hell I'm jealous! If she wants you then she can have you."

"What am I a piece of meat?" he retaliated, "You can't just throw me around like something that can be owned!"

"Oh save the bull crap! I bet a man whore like you can't stick with just one woman," she glared at him, "So how many girls have you used that trick on?"

Ichigo gapped at her, "A….wha….Who are you calling a man whore you crazy she-devil? And what trick are you talking about?"

Rukia's anger flared, "The same trick you used on me! Making yourself look vulnerable by acting strange just so a girl could pity you and kiss you!"

"What are you talking about?" he took a step closer towards her and hissed, "That doesn't make any sense."

Rukia stood on her toes until her face was only inches away from his. She spoke in a low and threatening tone, "Answer this question. Do you stop there or do you keep going until you get them in your bed?"

Ichigo took a step back without breaking eye contact. His eyes turned hard, "Now I know that you're crazy," he pulled her towards him, "Do I look like the kind of guy that would something so disgusting? Is that really what you think of me? Oh and I guess me saving you was also just a part of my ridiculous plan! Well news flash princess it wasn't. What do you have to say to that?"

Rukia was unable to speak and just stood staring at him wide-eyed. She didn't even care that he had man handled her and still had her arm in his strong grip.

When he didn't get a response, Ichigo shook his head and released her. "You're just like everyone else in this god damn hell hole!" He took one last look at her and stormed off.

Rukia could only stand there and watch him walk away.

"Tsk tsk this isn't good. It seems you made our dear Romeo upset."

Rukia got out of her reverie and turned around to see who had spoken. What she saw were two boys from her class. The taller of the two had dark green eyes, slightly wavy hair, and a tanned complexion. The other one was somewhat shorter, had jet black hair that fell straight, and his light blue eyes looked vibrate in contrast to his pale skin.

"Damian don't start please," said the shortest one.

The one named Damian tore his eyes off Rukia and smiled warmly at his partner, "Don't worry Mason. I won't do anything bad. I just want to help." Mason looked away as a light blush colored his cheeks.

Damian chuckled at his reaction and turned his attention toward Rukia who had a confused look on her face. "Oh dear what are we going to do with you?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

Damian walked towards her. Rukia tried to back away but he grabbed her by the chin and studied her face. He gave a murmur of approval and released her. Unfortunately for Rukia he then wrapped his arm around her shoulder before she could run away.

Damian shook his head, "It's become evident that you are in dire need of my services."

"You're…what?" Rukia stuttered as she tried to slip away.

He tightened his grip on her as he whispered in her ear, "My services on how to please your man of course." He smirked and finally released a red faced Rukia.

"WHAT?" Rukia exclaimed once she found her voice.

"I couldn't help but notice your little argument just now."

Rukia glared at Damian, "That's not any of your business."

Damian put his hands up in defense, "Whoa take it easy. Like I told Mason I just want to help."

"Damian I don't think we should get involved," Mason interjected.

"Nonsense," he waved his hand dismissively, "Look Rukia you don't want make your life harder by getting on Prince Charming's bad side right?"

"Prince Charming? More like…"

Damian cut her off by placing two fingers on her lips and shushing her. "Now now there's no need for that," he sighed, "Will you at least admit that what you did was wrong? You did say some very hurtful things."

Rukia looked at the ground, "Yes I know. Gosh I don't know what came over me."

Damian couldn't help but smile. 'Someone's in denial'

"You should really be more careful with your words especially with Ichigo," he said in a serious tone.

Rukia looked at him and saw his sincerity, "Yes I know. I didn't expect him to react that way"

Damian laughed, "That's because underneath that tanned, rock hard body of his there is a sensitive man who needs all the love he can get. Just imagine how it must have broken his heart when even his own Juliet refused to give him such love and instead accused him of heinous crimes."

'There he goes again' thought Mason as he listened to the nonsense that Damian was telling Rukia. He cocked his hip and ran a hand through his hair in frustration as he waited for him to finish. There was a light blush on his cheeks when Damian started pointing out Ichigo's ahem "assets". He felt pity for Rukia who could only stand there and endure Damian's advice.

Mason finally decided to speak up, "Ummm Damian I think it's time for us to leave."

Damian looked at Mason as if he had just gotten out of a trance, "Huh oh right," he looked at very red faced Rukia and smiled, "Well Rukia it has been a pleasure. Although it pains me to know that our dearest Ichigo is now off the market I'm glad that it was you that has gained his attention."

"No. That's not…" she started.

He was again shushed her, "Oh and don't worry about Ichigo's little fan club we'll make sure they don't harm not even one hair from that pretty little head of yours. And if they do manage to cause some harm," Damian's expression became grave, "then shits going down."

"Damian," Mason said impatiently as he pulled his arm. Damian winked at Rukia and then allowed himself to be pulled away by Mason.

Once they were out of earshot Mason let go of Damian's arm and faced him.

"Why must you always meddle in other people's business?" he said in a harsh tone, "Are you really that bummed that you just lost all your chances ever gaining Ichigo Kurosaki's attention?"

Damian just laughed, "You look so cute when you pout."

Mason blushed, "Let's just go."

Damian smiled triumphantly. 'Works every time.'

"Alright spill it. What happened yesterday? You never came home, some stranger calls the house, and the next thing I know your brother fires one of the servant for no reason."

Rukia was not in the mood to be interrogated by her childhood friend. She had tried during lunch time to get Ichigo alone and apologize but he had made it his mission to avoid her. She was hoping to have some time to herself but luck wasn't on her side. She should have known that Renji would find her. They did live in the same house after all.

She sighed. 'He's going to find out eventually. Mind as well get it over with.' She proceeded to tell him of the events that had befallen her the previous day excluding Ichigo's strange behavior. Once she was done speaking they walk in silence. Rukia was starting to worry of what Renji thought of her.

"Renji…"

"Those bastards!" he exclaimed.

Rukia smiled despite herself. She was glad that her friend didn't think badly of her.

"I swear if I ever get my hands on them I'm going to tear them apart."

"Thanks Renji but you don't…"

"I will cut them open and choke them with their own intestines," he said interrupting her.

Okay now he was scaring her, "Uh okay then."

He continued his rant not noticing her discomfort, "But before I do that I'm going to gouge their eyes out and make them watch themselves die. Then…"

Rukia stopped his rant by covering his mouth with her hand. He gave her a confused look.

"That's enough Renji. I get it," she removed her hand and smiled at him. They both started to laugh.

"Sorry I guess I got carried away," he said while rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"A little?" Rukia retorted while giving him a look.

Renji shrugged, "Yeah just a little. It just angered me to know what they did to you," he paused, "It also scared me."

"Scared you?" Rukia asked looking at him.

"Yeah it scares me when I think of what could have happened if Ichigo hadn't found you," he said not making eye contact with her. 'I should have been there to protect her'

"Renji?"

He looked down to see that she had a worried expression on her face and he smiled. "I have to remember to thank him the next time I see him."

"Yeah," Rukia murmured as she remembered how badly she had treated Ichigo. 'I haven't even thanked him yet.'

Renji noticed his friend's discomfort, "Rukia is something wrong?"

She shook her head. "No it's nothing," she looked at her watch, "We better hurry we don't want to be late."

Renji knew that something was bothering her but decided against asking anymore questions. They were walking on the sidewalk when a man flew out of a nearby alley way and landed on his face a few feet in front of them. He was unconscious.

"What the hell?" they said in unison. They immediately rushed towards the man and looked down the alley way. They couldn't believe their eyes.

What at first seemed like another petty gang fight turned out to be a fight of eight against one. It was an unfair fight but the one person seemed to be able to hold his own. He quickly shortened their numbers from eight to three.

With five of them down and unconscious Rukia and Renji can clearly see who that person was. They wanted to help him out but feared that they would just get in the way. Suddenly he spotted them and became distracted long enough to be put in a head lock from behind. Just as he was struggling to free himself another one pulled out a bat.

Rukia could no longer just stand there and watch. She charged into the fight and used the element of surprise to knock out the guy who was supposed to be the look out. Once he was down she used her speed to jump on the back of the one who was holding the bat.

She struggled to pry the bat away from his hands. Suddenly the others had regained consciousness. They saw that their leader was having trouble and where going to aid him when someone blocked their path.

"Going somewhere," Renji said with a sadistic grin on his face. They all gave each other wary glances before smiling and charged at him all at one. They were hardly a threat and were easily taken down by Renji.

The lone fighter had taken advantage of the distraction by jerking his head back and hitting the thug who was restraining him hard in the face. He was immediately released as blood started flow out of the guy's nose.

"Shit," he cursed as he held his hand to his nose. With his other hand he took out a switch blade.

Meanwhile Rukia was finally successful in snatching the bat away. She jumped off the leader's bat and proceeded to beat him with it. Once she realized that he was unconscious she directed her attention to the last man standing. Rukia ran towards him with the bat in her hand.

"Ichigo duck!" she yelled.

Ichigo listened to her and ducked. The other guy didn't have time to react when she swung the bat and hit him squarely on the temple. He was out like a light. Rukia dropped the bat as she panted.

After a couple minutes a few of the thugs regained consciousness only to find themselves face to face with a very angry Ichigo. They trembled at the sight of him, Rukia, and Renji.

Ichigo pulled one up by the collar. "Grab the rest of your pathetic friends and get the hell out of my sight," he hissed lowly.

They nodded their head vigorously in response and proceeded to drag their unconscious friends away as fast as they could.

Once they were gone Ichigo sighed and leaned against the wall. His legs gave way to his exhausted and he sat on the floor. He ran his hand through his hair when he remembered that he wasn't alone.

Ichigo looked up to glare at Renji and Rukia, "You know you didn't have to butt in I could have handled it myself."

Renji rolled his eyes, "Yeah 'cause it looked like you had everything under control. Just admit it they would have busted your brains out if we hadn't come along. Right Rukia?"

Rukia ignored him and stared at Ichigo with a worried expression. He turned his head away from her. 'He's still mad at me.'

That's when she noticed that Ichigo's lip was bleeding. She ruffled through her backpack until she found her handkerchief. Rukia kneeled down beside him and wordlessly tried to wipe the blood away but Ichigo just slapped her hand away. He then got up off the ground and walked away.

Rukia ran after him and cut him off on the sidewalk.

"Move out of the way," he said in a threatening tone.

Rukia didn't say a word and instead grabbed his hand forcibly and placed her handkerchief on it.

"Use it to clean yourself," she moved out of his way, "Come on Renji."

Renji reluctantly followed her. He was curious as to what just happened but when he saw her face he decided to stay quiet. They walked for several blocks when Rukia stopped abruptly.

"What's the matter Rukia?"

She took one last look at Renji before running back the other way.

"Rukia!" He was about to follow her but she stopped him.

"Go home Renji and tell my brother that something came up so I'll be home late!"

She made it to where the fight had occurred and stopped to catch her breath. She looked at the ground as if expecting to find something there. When she saw nothing she proceeded to run in the direction where she thought would lead to the Kurosaki Clinic.

'I have to make this right'

Author's Note: I finally got to typing this. Again I'm sorry for uploading late.

Ichigo: "Uh question: Who were those guys?"

Me: "Oh you mean Damian and Mason. They're OCs that *cough* a certain someone made. You're going to be seeing them sometimes."

Ichigo: "Something's not right here."

Me: "Whatever do you mean Ichigo Kurosaki?"

Ichigo: "Why are you calling…" *gets tackled by a blur* "What the hell?"

Me: "Ladies and Gentleman our guest today… JadeDawn!"

JadeDawn: "HIIII!" :D

Ichigo: "She's…choking…me."

Me: "Oh don't worry bout it. You'll be fine."

Ichigo: "Andrea….let…Go!"
