It's not one sided Ichihime. It takes time for the relationship to develop.
Read and review makes me happy! :)
The school bell rings, signifying the end of the school day and the cue for students to break out in chatter and gossip. But, for Rukia, a school day in Karakura High doesn't end until...
"Ichigooo~"
A bubbly voice comes cooing for that orange haired boy sitting next to Rukia.
That sweet sugar coated voice sent slight shivers down Rukia spine as she quickly packed her things before she sent a quick glance at Ichigo, whispering to him. "You better bring that chain."
A mischievous smile was returned as he playfully scoffs, "Just get the game ready when I come over..."
Rolling her eyes Rukia happily watches the door, waiting, just waiting for that...
"Rukiaaaaa~"
Akane.
All it took was for Akane to peer right in, sweetly cooing Rukia's name as Rukia happily bumbled her way toward Akane. The walk back home was like any other walk Rukia has with Akane. Akane would make fun of Rukia and her obsession with Chappy, and Rukia would make fun of how Akane eats cookies like a squirrel.
But there was something that felt different about this walk.
It didn't seem right.
Rukia and Akane couldn't help but feel as if they were being followed.
Could it be Shuuhei trying to reconnect with Rukia?
No... Shuuhei doesn't let off an ominous vibe...
Well, who ever it was-Rukia and Akane didn't want to risk turning their heads back so instead they look at one another and simultaneously nodded thier heads.
"Detour?"
"Pft,"Akane lazy flicks her wrists. "Of course... But since I'm taking the longer route to your place..." Akane's eyes darken the moment a smirk crept onto her face. "I bet I'll make it to your place before you..."
With a swift slap on the ass, Akane sprints to the left laughing victoriously, leaving Rukia face palming as she too sprinted towards the oposite direction, taking a short detour from her regular route back home.
"CHAPPY!" Rukia happily squeals one she hears Chappy pawing at the door since Rukia did come home late and Chappy hasn't been feed. But! Rukia always has a remedy for times like this.
Gently opening the door, Chappy angrily looks up at Rukia whimpering. He's hungry and Rukia gives him an uneasy smile as she scoops him up and drops her bag on the table. She has Chappy in her arms right now as she rummaged through her fridge, looking for the bundle of grapes she bought a few days back-
Her celll phone vibrated.
It was a text from Akane.
Me and the girls decided it was be better if you fought for the Champion chian on your own. So we're changing our Champion Chain marathon to Saturday. Have fun with Orange! 3:53
A face palm was the appropriate gesture Rukia made. Why can't Akane face the fact that Rukia doesn't mind going to the Future Alumni alone?
Letting out a huff, Rukia sets up the PS3 and made sure there was enough snacks to last through the-
*knock-knock*
"Oi! Kuchiki! I got the Chain!"
Rukia proudly prances her way towards the door. She was determined to get that prized Champ chain back.
Swinging the door open, Rukia stands up tall, smiling with her head held up high, she speaks, "You got the chain?"
Stuffing his hands in his messenger bag he pulls out the famed, "Champion Chain."
"Let's get this over with."
And so, the shit talking begins. The random flinging of junk food around and taunts of who has more, "skills" in button mashing and who will reign supreme after a massive butt whipping-needless to say, it's been more than an hour and no progress has been made.
Letting out a sigh as she plops back down on the couch, "Just give me the chain..."
"Nah...I'm taking a liking to the gaudy chain..." Ichigo flaunts the champ cain victoriously. "Plus, I'm aching for a praise right now..."
His eye brow arches once Rukia sends him a glare. She knew what he meant.. She just hates the fact that she told them what owning the Champion chain entails.
"Kurosaki san... You're the manliest japanese boy with natural orange hair.." Rukia sweetly sugar coated as she batter her thick eye lashes, "Infact, you are the prettiest boy I've ever-"
"Whoa-whoa-whoa... Hold on." Ichigo narrows his eyes. "Boys aren't pretty."
Pouting, "Why not? Boys can be pretty. I've seen many pretty boys-"
"No."
"But-"
"No."
...
"Fine." Her violet eyes dart up at him, "One more game, one more game that'll decide who gets the champ chain..."
Shaking his head, he laughs at Rukia, "Bring it on Kuchiki..."
With a sly smile, Rukia happily pranced her way towards the PS3 with a game she was sure to win at.. After all, if Ichigo refuses to play this game he therefore forfeits the chain-thusly making Rukia the clear owner of the Champ Chain.
Though for Ichigo, he noticed something was wrong when Rukia brought out odd looking mats that acted as-No. This can't be.. Rukia can't be setting up-
"DDR!"
Ichigo almost face faltered. He stared at Rukia who looked at him with a Chummy smile. The game was already set and ready. All they had to do was choose the song they will have a dance off with.
"No." Ichigo folded his hands as he looked away, "There is no way in hell am I going to dance-"
"Oh?" Rukia mischievously nudges him on the side, "Are you saying you forfeit? Loser..."
Loser?! Ichigo thought to himself as a pulse broke, I'll show her who the loser is!
His eyes narrowed as it darkens, "Choose the song Kuchiki..."
With a chummy smile Rukia pranced to the mat, choosing the girliest song from the selection of music the game offered.
Candy by Riyu Kosaka was chosen.
Ichigo's fate has been sealed. He can't protest against the music. If he does he forfeits the Champion chain and Ichigo isn't going to let that happened.
So, letting out a deep huff, he walks towards the mat as player 2, defending this position as the champion as Rukia giggles to herself.
I've played DDR countless times with the girls... Prepare to lose Kurosaki!
Game on.
The song begins and Ichigo is completely into the game. He was determine to keep that chain- and Rukia?
Heh, Rukia has something else instored for him as she quickly left her pad and darted straight to her room without Ichigo noticing since he was so focused on the game.
Infact, he was so focused on the game he didn't realize Rukia was just standing there, with her camera, recording his every move as if he was enjoying his time...
"Oi! Kurosaki!" Rukia slightly chuckles as she holds onto the camera, "Say hi to your future fans!"
"Wha?" His eyes dart up at Rukia who is holding the camera smiling. "Say hi!"
Ichigo's face turned red the moment Rukia ran off up stairs laughing. He sure as hell won't let Rukia go with that embarrassing video of him playing DDR.
"You're going to be an intenet sensation Kuro-ah!"
Ichigo grabs ahold of Rukia's slender legs, refusing to let go, he growls, "Oh no you don't! Give me that camera!"
Laughing like a mad man, Rukia carefully pulls out her camera."Fine, fine, FINE. Just let go of my leg and I'll delete it...Jeeze..."
Giving Rukia the uneasy look, Ichigo loosens his hold only to have Rukia laugh at him as she quickly quiped, "I lied." before she dashes up to her room as Ichigo tailed her.
"Kuchiki!" Ichigo yelled as he tackled Rukia before she had a chance to get into her room.
He now has her pinned to the ground as they look face to face. They have a good amount of space between each other and all that's running through Ichigo's mind was that damned video Rukia took of him.
"Delete that video..." He breathed down her neck.
With the slightlest of smiles, Rukia clears her throat, "Give me the champ chain and I'll delete the video."
Rolling his eyes, Ichigo scoffs, "Give you the champ chain? Pft-"
"We'll it seems like you're going to be an internet sen-"
"Fine, fine, fine..." Ichigo reluctantly removes the champ chain and hands it to Rukia, "Here. Now delete that video."
Quickly snatching the Champ chain from Ichigo's hand Rukia keeps her word and deletes the video.
"There. Are you happy now?" Rukia playfully pouts. "You've deprived the world of laughter... I hope you're proud of that..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Heavily exhaling, he gets off of Rukia and whips out his cellphone.
7 missed calls from Lil' Hime
He face palms."Shit."
"Eh?" Rukia looks at Ichigo, tilting her head, "What now? I deleted the video..."
Stuffing his cellphone into his back pocket, Ichigo simply replies, "Nothing.. I'm gonna head home... I gotta call-"
"Lil Hime~" Rukia taunts as she laughs. "You call your girlfriend "lil hime?"
A glare was sent towards a laughing Rukia. "She wanted to be called lil hime.."
Opening one eye, Rukia smiles at him as she nudges him, "Does she make you watch chick flicks with her?"
Making sure Rukia isn't recording or anything, he quietly mumbles, "Yes...Yes he does.."
"YOU'RE WHIPPED!" Rukia squeals as she bursts out in laughter, "You are so whipped!"
"I'm not whipped!" Ichigo angrily retorted back, "I'm suppose to keep her happy! I'm her boyfriend!"
Shaking her head, Rukia simply responded. "Her whipped boyfriend to be exact.."
Ichigo face palms as he groans. "Whatever you say... I'll see you tomorrow Kuchiki..."
He grabs his backpack as he heads out the door with Rukia trailing after him.
"Remember, bring money tomorrow cause we're going to go to the Edo Museum!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah.." Ichigo casually waves, "Later Kuchiki..."
-0-
Trudging against the cold cement ground up the stairs under the white moon, Ichigo knocks on the door. Waiting for Yuzu's cherry sweet voice telling everyone she'll get the door.
The sound of locks being unlocked and the scent of curry seeps through the almost tight creveses of the door. Though the door remains closed- which only meant one thing.
Rolling his eyes, Ichigo turns the door knob as he pushes his way...
"ICHIGOOO! YOU ARE LATE FOR DIN-"
A punch to the face solved that daily intrusion of Isshin as Ichigo casually strolls right in, giving a nod to his twin sisters.
Yuzu, being one of them, pouts at the sudden hostile scene. "I really wish you guys stop hurting each other like that..."
"Don't worry about them Yuzu." Karin casually responds as she hands Yuzu her bowl, "Seconds please."
Ignoring the old man known as his father, Ichigo strolls right on over towards the dinner table, "Smells great Yuzu.."
A warm smile formed on Yuzu's face as she pours a bowl of Curry for Ichigo. "I know. I made it."
"Inoue san called us again..." Karin's eyes narrowed. "She keeps calling us, asking us if we knew where you were..."
Letting out a sigh, Ichigo takes the bowl of curry handed to him. "Yeah, sorry about that. I'll go call her when I get up stairs.."
The teen then trudged up the stairs as he trudges into his room, closing the door behind him. He takes a good look at his cell phone as he places his bowl of curry on his desk.
7 missed called from lil hime... I should really stop puting my phone on vibrate...
He plops down on his chair as he leans back and calls his "lil hime." as he thinks to himself.
Should I go with Kuchiki to her alumni ball thing?
