Uryu's POV

Thankfully, I found my shoes! After sneaking back up the stairs, Ichigo and I got ready for school. I was given a toothbrush (fresh from the pack if must know, you nasty human beings) to use. Thank god! Ichigo and I shared the bathroom despite my constant protests of "I can brush my teeth by myself, moron!". "We're both guys, Uryu! I don't see what the big deal is!" he fired back. Not only did I not have any privacy, his sisters didn't even have any decent make-up! When I saw the cheap knock-off brands I damn near fainted. These poor growing girls! How could Isshin torture them this way? The only thing I bothered to use was the strawberry flavored lip-gloss, similar to my own. By the time I was finished, the time was 6:15. We had to leave the house by 6:45. Ichigo was still trying to find a shirt to wear, ignoring me when I tried to tell him that his last four choices were fine. When he saw a shirt that fit his liking, he slipped the shirt he was wearing above his head and off of his body. Let me tell you something you'd probably never notice from a guy like Ichigo Kurosaki: This guy is built! My breath hitched when I saw the muscles from his back ready to jump out and attack me. Damn... it complimented that ass of his, too! So... why didn't I let him take me last night? I completely forgot...

"So, about that date, Uryu. You wanna do it Saturday? It can't be Friday because of rugby practice and I've got a game on Sunday," his voice sent away my perverse thoughts. Date... Ichigo.. Saturday... Sounds amazing, but.. "I promised myself I'd attempt to hang out Szayel this weekend," Ichigo frowned for a second, but then it turned into an evil grin. "Oh, that's alright. Why don't he bring him along with us?" My eyebrow arched up. Are his father's genes finally showing themselves? What other idiot asks to bring a friend along on a one-on-one? "Don't give me that look! We could make it a double-date," Oh, that's why. "A double date? Oh... I don't think there's anyone else on this planet, besides me, that would want to be seen with Szayel in public," he giggled at that. "Trust me, from what you've told me about him, I know the perfect guy for him," his confidence in this situation makes me a little nervous. But, Szayel is a big boy and he handle himself. The new shirt flew over the Ichigo's orange head and covered his body, much to my dismay. "Well, we've got some time left, do you wanna get some brea-" His request was cut off by a loud screech of pain.

"Damn it! Isshin you dumbass, son of a rubber-fucking... ASSHOLE!" we heard Ryuken scream. "I knew I shouldn't have drunken all that damned sake! Look at all this light! Turn it off! Do something about my headache, too! This all your fault, damn it!" he continued his rant. I facepalmed and Ichigo laughed. "It's not funny! A hungover Ryuken is never a fun one!" I groaned. "Ryuken sure does a very... colorful vocabulary," he commented. "I don't know how he and your dad stayed together for so long,"

"How long were they together?" he asked. I tapped my chin. How long did Ryuken say it was?

"About five or six years-"

"Years?!" he gasped.

"Yep, now about that breakfast," Our attention went back to my shouting father. Apparently Isshin hadn't woken up yet. I'm inferring that based on Ryuken's constant shouts of "Didn't you hear me when I said 'WAKE UP'?!". "I'm guessing that we'll be eating at school?" I finished. "Uh.. I was hoping we could eat now, because I've got to go to a meeting with my team." he said softly. I rolled my eyes. "Alright, but you're dealing with Ryuken if he notices us."

Somehow, Ichigo and I managed to some delicious rolled omelets (pre-made by Yuzu) before Ryuken and Isshin noticed we were awake. Luckily, we escaped the evil wrath of "Hungover Ryuken Ishida" and headed out for school. We only walked a few blocks away from the house when we heard the sound of a bass bumping from behind us. A small, blue pick-up truck drove up to us, more like to Ichigo, and stopped. "Hey, Ichigo! Who's the pretty lady?" a high-pitched shriek said from the passenger side. I frowned. Again with this! How many blind idiots are there in the Seireitei District? Before I could properly explain my gender, Ichigo quickly said "She's Umeko Ishida. She's my dad's friend's daughter." Um... ok? Where in the hell did that name come from? "Umeko? I thought you said that guy had a son," Another voice, the driver, spoke up. I recongized this one as that red-head, Renji's voice. Ichigo sputtered a bit, probably trying to think of another lie. Damn, I guess I should help him out. "Oh! You must mean my brother, Uryu! He's still at home, poor dear," I said, raising my voice a bit higher. Ichigo gave me a look that, I knew, said "Thank you so much for not blowing this over!" Yeah, whatever, you're welcome strawberry. "I'm sorry, Umeko," the first voice said. "We're gonna have to borrow Ichigo,"

"But, Keigo, I was going to walk her to school," the strawberry whined. Keigo... Keigo... As in homophobic Keigo? As in the-asshole-who-dropped-Shuuhei-like-a-hot-dime-Keigo? I should have known! "We've got a team meeting this morning and I just wanted to make sure you were on time," Keigo cried to him. He turned to me, flipping his brown hair. Was that supposed to be... attractive? "I apologize, my lady. Ichi's gotta come with us. Do you want to ride with us?" he asked. Let's see... would I rather walk another mile to school or ride with a homophobic pig? Hmm... "No, I'll walk. I wanted to meet up with Rukia this morning, anyway," all the boys shivered at the mention of the student council president's name. "Alright, see ya Umeko!" Ichigo said, kissing my cheek and hopping in the back of the truck.

It wasn't until after they drove away when it finally hit me: Ichigo lied to his friends, again! Didn't he say he wanted to change. Wasn't that what he was crying to me about last night? Why couldn't he just say "Hey, this is Uryu Ishida! He's the guy I hope to bang in the near future!"? Well, he wouldn't say it like that, but it's a start. But then again, changes like these don't happen overnight. It's probably going to take a while before anything happens for real. I just hope Ichigo gets it done soon.

Ichigo's POV

I watched Uryu scowl at us as we drove away. When his image disappeared I faced the front, where I found Keigo staring at me weirdly. "What?" I groaned. "What's up with the crappy face? What's going on with you and Umeko?" Renji cleared his throat. "Yeah, just what is going on between you and Umeko?" Keigo looked back at him and then at me. "Do you guys know something that I don't? Are you and Umeko a thing! And after I said I called the new girl!" he yelled, again. I glared. "We need to talk later, Renji. Wait up for me at lunch," My red-headed nodded, while the loud just kept whining. "Tell me! Ichigo! Renji? Ichi? Ren-Ren? NOOOOO FAIIRRRR!" I plugged my ears with my fingers. Sadly, that had no effect whatsoever.

Another chappy down~! Another one coming up!
