The next morning brought a crashing wave of dread upon Rukia. The events of last night wouldn't be forgotten for a long time, and today would be no exception. As she slowly got out of bed and took her time to do her routine, she worryingly wondered want would happen today. Would Byukuya take her into his office and have a little lecture about the offenses she committed? Would Rangiku step up her little game of torment? Maybe even the ground ninjas would get involved and do something?
Rukia peered out the door of her room to see if the halls were clear. With a little luck, she should be able to get out of the house and go to work without running into either of the last night's dinnermates. Maybe if she moved fast and kept silent, she could also get a quick breakfast as well. Hitting the wall, Rukia slunk down the hall and towards the kitchen…
…when the obvious happened and Rangiku surprised Rukia with a "Good morning kiddo! How did you sleep?" Rukia jumped and Rangiku waited until Rukia stood on both feet on solid ground before continuing. "Did you sleep well? You Kuchikis really know to make a comfy bed…"
"Well!" Rukia blurted. "I slept inna well!" Rukia slurred her words and accidently added in a needless word, leading to Rangiku to remark with:
"I know we are techinally spirits and all, but sleeping in a well sounds uncomfortable." Rukia groaned as Rangiku giggled at the dumb joke. Rukia sighed and opened her mouth to give off some sort of excuse but Rangiku instead stuffed Rukia's open mouth with a roll of takuan. "Byukuya made breakfast! He's wise, a great leader and a wonderful cook? He sounds like the perfect husband!"
"Wwwhhi nwhot gwo for whim wthwen?" Rukia asked with the thick radish still in her mouth. Despite who gave her the treat, Rukia chewed away at it. Once again, her brother's cooking really hit a grand slam…if she was using the terminology correctly. Rangiku walked alongside Rukia and waited for her to finish chewing and swallowing the treat before continuing to talk.
"Oh, he might be perfect material for me and…" She titled her head back and forth a few times. "…well, everyone really. Men and women included. But I'm not his wife material. I admit, I lack and possess certain qualities he wouldn't much care for." Of course, both girls knew that Byukuya wasn't looking for anyone, Rangiku was just speaking her thoughts out loud. Rukia looked away from the busty female, starting to feel a little disheartened just thinking about her sister. Rangiku did pick up on Rukia's discomfort and switched to a different topic. "So, what kind of person you're into? Bad boys, the academic ones, something in between…maybe other girls?" Rangiku complemented with a finger poking at her left breast.
"I'm into good people." Rukia again blurted out. Last night had turned her into a bit of a nervous wreck.
"I'm good." Rangiku smiled. "In fact, I'm better. I got a lot of things most people lack…" Rukia mouthed out a insult, but turned her head away made sure that Rangiku didn't see her mouth. While she didn't want Rangiku to stay in her house anymore, Rukia really didn't want to hurt Rangiku's feelings. "In fact, I can prove it. We can go on a date tonight. A steak place! Inspired by the restaurants in the Human World! And I can get us a free meal too!"
"No thanks." Rukia gently waved her hand. "I'm good."
"I insist." Rangiku bended down to face Rukia with a rather happy demented look. In fact, the moment Rukia stared back she knew exactly what that look meant; revenge. "Tonight we get to have a nice date. The two of us. Eating the same table. With nice dresses. See you at eight." Rangiku mockingly patted Rukia on the head. The busty lady then left Rukia with another roll of takuan in hand.
Well, there's the revenge. Knowing Rangiku would obviously get a more vicious kind of vengeance if she was left hanging at the date, Rukia made a mental note to get a proper dress and take a nice bath before the date. Might as well take it seriously! It might make the whole forced-date-after-a-accidental-molestation go by faster. Rukia would have gone to work with a clear mind, but she could hear Rangiku's laughter from down the hall…echoing throughout her mind…
