Uryu's POV
Ok, maybe I should've gotten that ride from Keigo. By the time I reached the school, my legs were killing me! I was afraid that if I had stopped moving, my legs would go and leave my body behind to rot. Thankfully, my dear friend Rukia was there to greet me when I came in. "Hello~ Uryu!" she said happily. How can one person be so happy so early in the morning? I don't have the slightest idea. "I'm dying, Rukia... Gimme some water," I gasped, holding my throat for emphasis. With a bright smile on her face she said, "I can't do that! You haven't officially joined the student council!" My heart almost stopped completely. This girl really is trying to kill me! It's only my second day! I don't wanna die, yet! At least let me go on my date with Ichigo! "Rukia! You're killing me," I whined, pressing my face against her shoulder. "Gimme water!" Rukia sighed. "What a pitiful case you are, Uryu. Don't realize what great pleasures await when you join the Student Council?" she asked seriously. "Uh... besides having people up my ass about stuff I don't care about?" I said hopefully. That got me a good hit in the head. "Uryu! Listen! Chizuru and I were talking, and we decided to let you in!" Ah, Chizuru! She'll suffocate me before Rukia can clobber me to death. "Alright, I'll join! Jesus, now can you get me some water?" Instead of answering me, she squealed and dragged me into the building.
After a few minutes of "Watch where you're going"-ing and "I'll move when you grow some balls and step aside"-ing through the hallway with Rukia, we stop at a really small classroom labeled "KSC". I'm guessing this is the room for the Student Council. "In order for you to officially be a part of the Student Council, you must get the approval of...!" she paused and swung up the door. "My big brother, Byakuya Kuchiki!" my jaw dropped. Rukia's big brother... was freakin' gorgeous! He had silky black hair and body was so slender! I'm not really into skinny guys but, if I had the chance, I would jump this guy. The man turned to us, giving us a seriously cold glare with his violet eyes. I almost shivered. "Is there a reason why you're slamming doors around like a barbarian, Rukia?" Ooooh~! Who knew his voice would be so deep and... Wait. I've heard this voice before! On my first day! Now that I'm thinking about it, Szayel did say that the man was, and I quote, "too hot for words". I didn't think he meant it literally! "My apologies, Nii-sama," "You're both ladies, so act like it!" he scolded. Yet again, I am mistaken for a woman. If he weren't so attractive I'd be a little more angry. "Uh, I'm a boy!" I said to him, immediately hiding behind Rukia when his scowl darkened some more. "You're wearing a very small skirt," he hissed. "Where is your pride as a man?"
"My manly pride disappeared the moment my dad said 'You can wear the damn dress already! Just stop crying!'" I chuckled remembering that day, about seven years ago. Byakuya shook his head. "Uh... Nii-sama, Uryu wants to join the Student Cou-"
"There are no more positions to fill," he interrupted.
"I made one up! He could be the President's Assistant!"
Byakuya shook his head again, making Rukia whine.
"PLEEEEEASE! Nii-sama, if he doesn't join, he'll be a risk for bullying!"
"Not my problem. We're the Student Council, not a charity case,"
I slouched against the wall, watching the two siblings argue. What puzzles me is, why wasn't anyone asking me what I wanted to do? If my time is going to be wasted, then shouldn't I have some say in how I want it to be wasted? That makes much more sense than sitting around and listening to two stubborn Kuchikis argue.
"Nii-sama!" Rukia cried.
"No, he can sit in a trash pile for fun," Byakuya shot back. That was little insulting... I guess. Trash wouldn't really look good on me.
"Oh!" Rukia said, this time with a surprisingly evil gleam in her eyes. Even the uptight brother of hers looked at her worriedly. "What if I call Zaraki?" Byakuya's eyes widened.
"Please don't," he squeaked. Zaraki... Where have I heard that before?
"Yep! Zaraki may have a few things to say about you being unfair!"
"Who's 'Zaraki'?" I asked them.
Byakuya cleared his throat and then turned to me. "Kenpachi Zaraki... is my boyfriend," My jaw dropped. Did this guy just say Kenpachi Zaraki? "You mean..."
"Yes, the same Kenpachi that was banned from the Las Noches District for almost beating its mayor to death," he muttered.
"Nii-sama helped him change his violent ways as his mentor a few months ago. After that, they started dating!" She cheered a bit.
I only met Zaraki once, and that was when Szayel and I got arrested for... ok, you don't want to know that. We shared the same cell and he flirted with me the whole time I was there! It was a seriously creepy experience. "Judging by that disturbed look on your face, I see you've already met him," Byakuya says. I giggled, not sure whether to tell this guy that his boyfriend hit on me in a jail cell or not. "Uh, yeah. We're old acquaintances! I'm not sure he'll remember me though," Oh god, I hope he doesn't.

Well, I got the job. And there was no interference from Kenpachi Zaraki. I thanked Rukia and Byakuya and headed towards my first class of the day, English with a Mr. Yumichika Ayasegawa. Yay! New faces! On my way to the classroom, I run into a familiar face. Or should I say a familiar face that I wish would burn in acid so I wouldn't have to see it anymore. "Hello, Umeko~!" the ever so annoying Keigo greeted me. I put on my best "Get the hell away from me" smiles and said, "Sorry, I don't have time to talk now. I'm almost late for class." Keigo didn't seem to get the message, sadly. "I know, but this is just going to be really quick!" Real quick, huh? I'll show you what I can do real quick. "Yes?" I say instead.
He takes in a deep breath and asks, a little too loudly, "Are you dating Ichigo?!" I thought about that for a bit. Ichigo said he would take me on a date, right? Technically, it would be our first date... So does that count as dating or not? "Well, he is taking me on our first date on Saturday. We'll see how it goes from there," Keigo nodded, a bright pink blush running across his face. "Oh, ok. I guess I'll see you later then," He turned to leave, but whispered "You look seriously nice today." before he ran off. I stared off in the direction he went with a confused look on my face. Just what in the hell was that?

Two hours later...
Ichigo's POV
"Umeko?! Really?!" Renji scolded me during our lunch period. I banged my head on the table four times before I answered him. "I'm sorry, I panicked," He threw a piece of corn at me. "Sorry ain't good enough, Ichi! You and I both know Uryu's a guy! A very hot guy might I add!" he mumbled the last part, but I still heard it clearly. "Hey!" I threw the corn back. "He's mine! Plus, I didn't even know you swung that way!" My sorry excuse for a friend growled at me. "You never asked me! Plus, it's not something you say during a normal conversation? What do you expect from me, Ichi? I say, 'Hi guys! The weather's hella nice today, ain't it? Yeah, and did you know that Ayasegawa-sensei's ass was looking rather hot today?'" He huffed. I know it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. Laughter erupted from my body before I could stop it. "W-who s-said anything about Ayasegawa?" I said between giggles.
Renji smacked my head. "That's not the point! Besides, there's no other ass to look at here,"
"Not true! I saw you ogling Uryu yesterday!"
"So! You were, too!"
Touché, my friend, touché.
"Hush and listen to me for a second. If you want some potential ass, come on a date with me," His eyes widened a bit.
"Woah, dude! We're buds, but I don't like you like that,"
"Damn it, Ren! I didn't mean with me! I meant a double date with me and Uryu!"
"Oh, then why didn't you just say that?" I honestly believe that some of Keigo's stupidity is rubbing off on him. Damn you, Keigo for infecting my friend! "Who's the double?"
"Uryu's friend, Szayel,"
"Oh... is he decent looking?" he asks, blushing a bit.
"From what I've seen, yeah. He's dyed his hair many times, that it got stuck the same pink color," Renji laughed at that.
"He's seems interesting, count me in!"
"Count me in, too!" another voice joined the conversation. Renji and I looked to the left and saw a cheesing Keigo.
"KEIGO?!" we screamed in unsion. I hid behind Renji. Did he hear anything we just said?
"What are you guys up to? Are you going out somewhere?" he asked. I turned to Renji for help, but he looked just as clueless as I did.
"Uh..." I stuttered. "We're going on a double date on Saturday,"
"Oh. Is one of the girls Umeko?" he asked, frowning a little.
"Yeah, why?"
"Just promise me one thing, Ichigo," his voice got a little darker. It made me shiver a bit. "What?"
"If she doesn't like you by the end of that date, you'll let me get a chance with her,"
Uh... what?
"You... like Umeko?" Renji asked. Keigo nodded quickly. "Yesh~! Twas love at first sight! And Ichigo caught her first and broke our bro code!" he crossed his arms and pouted.
"'Bro Code'?" Renji questioned me. I just shrugged.
"Don't be like that, Ichigo! You said I could have a shot at the next new girl because you took Rukia from me!" I did... when did I say that?
"Alright, if things don't work out between me and Umeko, you can get your shot," I say. Keigo squealed loudly and did, literally, twenty cartwheels and flips across the cafeteria. I wonder how he'll react when he finds out Umeko's a man...
Well... what do ya think?
