Rukia told Orihime all about Ichigo and their 'date', or so Orihime says, which was on that upcoming Monday.

"I'm goanna ask Aizen if we could get off earlier, today, so we could decide what you're goanna were for your date," Orihime said with a little skip in her walk

Aizen is their boss. Rukia never liked him, she thought he was a controlling asshole, but Aizen always had a soft-spot for Orihime. For one, he was the one who set up Orihime and her boyfriend, and she has been grateful ever since. Plus, Orihime always had tea with Aizen.

"It's just coffee, nothing special," Rukia said modestly as she and Orihime walked through the halls of their work building, carrying papers.

"Yea, but what if you really hit it off?"

"That's not goanna happen."

"Ahhh, Rukia, don't be like that, what man wouldn't want you?" Orihime said in an effort to cheer up her friend, but what she had said wasn't a lie.

"Whatever, I just don't think I should get all dressed up for coffee," Rukia said as she set the stack of papers to their destination.

"Why wouldn't you?"

"Because, we'll start talking and then find out something he doesn't like and just bail, they all do."

"You don't try that's why."

"You don't know that," Rukia said making a face

"Okay then, what are you going to wear?"

"This," Rukia gestured to herself

Rukia was wearing her usual gray t-shirt and jeans

"That just proves my point, you don't even try."

"Can we just get back to work," Rukia didn't like their subject very much as they approached their desks

"You don't even do a thing here," Orihime said with a smile

"Indeed I don't," Rukia said with a light giggle

"Karin, Yuzu, anybody home?" Ichigo said with a confused scowl, walking into his father's home

"In the kitchen," Yuzu called to her brother

"Where are Karin and Dad?"

"Karin is at soccer practice, and Dad is still at work."

"Work? I thought the old man retired already." Ichigo said as he followed the sweet smell of his sister's cooking

"He did, but he went back to work because he had nothing to do."

"Yuzu, I'm home," Karin said as she walked through the door, "Is Dad still at work?"

"Welcome home, Karin, Dad is still at work," Yuzu welcomed her sister

"Good, that crazy old man was starting to get on my nerves," Karin huffed and she let herself fall on the couch.

"How mean! Karin, he's our father," Yuzu said as she continued to stir the soup in the pot in front of her

"She does have a point, Yuzu," Ichigo said to his younger sister

"Hey, Ichigo, how've you been?" Karin asked as she lifted her head off the couch to get a better look at her older brother.

"Good, I got a date with this girl, I met," Ichigo scratched the back of his neck

"A DATE!" Yuzu squealed, almost dropping the spoon in the pot of soup

"Heh, our little Ichigo is finally growing up," Karin teased

"Dad is not going to believe this!" Yuzu smiled

"No! Don't tell that dirty old man!" Ichigo pleaded

"Fine, I won't, my lips are sealed," Yuzu pretended to zip her lips

"Who's the girl? I bet she is one of those super-models Dad always brings for his 'events'." Karin smirked

"You know I'm not interested in those girls." Ichigo protested

"Then, who?" Yuzu obviously overjoyed for Ichigo

"Rukia Kuchiki," Ichigo said unable to fight the grin he had from saying her name

"That's a cool name," Karin commented

"Yea," Ichigo answered shortly

"Rukia Kuchiki," Karin said again "How did you two meet?"

"She tailgated me," Ichigo said shyly

"Wait, your new car fresh out of the factory," Karin said "What did you do?"

"Well, I paid for her car," Ichigo continued.

"Why did you do that?" Karin was interested, "she busted your new car."
"It wasn't that bad, and besides she looked like she was having a hard time so I helped her out."

"You just thought she was cute," Karin smirked

"God, Karin, what do you take me for? A dirty old man!" Ichigo scowled

"Well, have you seen our old man?" Karin snapped

"Whatever," Ichigo was starting to cool down, "And then I drove her to work, because her car broke down."

"Wow, her karma's a bitch,"

"Tell me about it," Ichigo agreed

"Go on," Karin insisted

"Then she told me to pull over, saying she could walk to work from there," Ichigo started, "but, I insisted on driving her. Then she started yelling, rape, out the window until I let her out."

"Wow, anything else?" Karin asked

"Yea, she forgot her work ID so I went to go give it to her, and that's how I got the date," Ichigo finished and took a deep breath, "Hey, do you smell something burning?"

"Oh, crap! Yuzu the soup's burning!" Karin yelled

"Darn it, I turn my back for a second, and come to this," Yuzu tended her soup in an effort to save it.

"What were you doing?" Ichigo asked

"I was going to start on my math, I usually get it done in five min. but I guess not," Yuzu said with guilt in her eyes.

"Ah, don't worry about it;" Karin said to her sister, "It'll taste good either way."

"Thanks, Karin" Yuzu smiled

"So, Ichigo what are you going to ware for your date?" Karin asked

"I don't know, I got a meeting later on that day, maybe a suit," Ichigo ran his fingers through his orange spikes.

"Okay, if you're going to ware that, you are going to need a haircut," Karin eyed Ichigo's shaggy hair

Yuzu nodded in agreement,

Ichigo hadn't noticed how long his hair had grown, it didn't bother him. But, he didn't mind his sisters cutting it either.

"Okay, you can cut it." Ichigo answered

"Grate!" The twins (Karin & Yuzu) said in unison

Now, work had ended for Rukia and Orihime; since Aizen had let them out, not surprising.

"Let's see," Orihime said as she looked through Rukia's wardrobe, "Rukia is this all you have?"

"Yup, that's it," Rukia answered

"Okay, remind me that later we're going to get you some new clothes," Orihime said as she shut the closet full of t-shirts and jeans, "We're goanna have to buy you a new outfit for this."

"Do we have to?" Rukia groaned

"Sweetie, all you have are jeans and t-shirts, you need to wear something new."

"But, I keep telling you, it's just coffee."

"But, what if it isn't," Orihime did not like Rukia's low confidence

"But-"

"Butts are for seats, not talking."

"Yes mom," Rukia said playfully

Orihime smiled, "Okay, let's go buy you a new outfit."

Rukia and Orihime went to the local mall in search of clothes for Rukia's coffee date

"So, where should we look first," Orihime said as her and Rukia gazed at what seemed a never-ending line of clothing stores.

"I don't know," Rukia shrugged, "Any where I guess."

The two women went shop to shop; Orihime would point out frilly dresses and t-shirts; while Rukia would find all kinds of graphic t-shirts.

"Nuh uh ah, no graphic t-shirts," Orihime said as she wiggled her finger, as a mother would to her child

"What about this chappy t-shirt" Rukia asked with puppy dog eyes

"Rukiaaaaa, what did I tell you?"

"No graphic t-shirts," Rukia pouted

"Good girl," Orihime smiled

"So, Ichigo, how short do you want your hair?" Yuzu asked

"Ahh, how I usually have it I guess," Ichigo said as a sheet gently wrapped around he's neck, forming a poncho to catch the cut hair.

"So, where is the date going to be?" Karin asked as Yuzu cut their brother's hair.

"It's just going to be coffee," Ichigo shrugged

"You know more than I do that it'll be more than just 'coffee'," Karin remarked

"Yea, Ichigo, you're sort of an in-depth guy," Yuzu added

"I am not," Ichigo said with pout-like croak.

"Ichigo, don't move your head- darn it," Yuzu drawled, "Sorry, Ichigo I cut your sideburn too short."

Ichigo panicked, "What?"

Karin burst with laughter, "I wonder what that girl would think," Karin teased

"The date is in four days," Ichigo complained

"Don't worry, sweetie," Karin continually mocked

"Sorry, Ichigo," Yuzu gasped

"It's okay, Yuzu, it was my fault; I was the one how moved," Ichigo comforted his sister, "Just continue you're fine."

"Thanks, Ichigo," Yuzu bubbled

"How about this one?" Orihime suggested as she held out another frilly-ruffle dress

"Sure, if I were a five year-old," Rukia muttered

"What was that?" Orihime asked

"Oh, nothing," Rukia quickly answered

Rukia was starting to get board of walking around everywhere, until a dress caught her eye.

"Hey, Orihime, what about this one," Rukia said as she held the dress in her hand.

"Try it on, see how you like it," Orihime insisted

"Sure," Rukia disappeared in the dressing room and came out moments later, "How does it look?" she asked shyly

The dress had a top section of that of a white tang-top (which complemented Rukia's modest chest and her violet eyes), a black fabric belt (that is attacked to the dress), and a skirt that had a blue, white and red rose pattern on it.

"It's perfect!" Orihime squealed

Rukia couldn't hold back the blush that graced her cheeks

"I'm all set," Rukia said looking in the mirror with a giggle

"Okay, Ichigo, I think I managed to fix it," Yuzu said cheerfully as she stepped back from Ichigo's now cut hair.

Ichigo went to the mirror to see how his hair looks. Yuzu did indeed fix his hair; it wasn't too long or too short. Just how he liked it.

"Wow, Yuzu, you did a fantastic job. Ichigo actually looks handsome," Karin complemented her sister as she came back from her shower.

"Thanks for the complement," Ichigo said sarcastically

"Hey, now you're all set for your date," Yuzu said

"I sure am," Ichigo nodded
