-Hours-

"Oi, Rukia..." Ukyo nudges Rukia, "Wake up..."

Rukia moans and groans as she rubs her temples, "I'm suppose to know better than to drink-"Rukia's eyes widen, "Shoot! I'm late for-"

"I called in sick for you..." Ukyo hands Rukia a hot cup of tea, "You need time to recooperate and plot a plan..."

Rukia looks at Ukyo confused, "Plot a plan?"

"Yes," Ukyo sports a sly devious smile, "A plan to destroy that little-"

Rukia groans as she pulls the covers over her head, "No plotting... I just don't want to talk about this..."

"But-plot-fun-plan-plot... Aww.. come on Rukia!" Ukyo plops herself next to Rukia on her bed," It'll be fun... I promise... Get a taste of that sweet nectart of reven-"

"Sweet nectar?" Rukia chuckles, "Nice word choice Ukyo.."

Ukyo sports a chimmu smile, "Well-"

The phone rings.

"Eh?" Rukia tilts her head, "Ukyo, you did say you called in sick for me right?"

"Yeah, why ask?"

"Well, the phone call is from the hospital I work at..."

Ukyo shrugs as Rukia answers the phone.

"Hello?"

"Rukia?"

"Yes, this is her... Who is this?"

"Oh! It'c Ichigo..."

"Ichigo? How did you get my number?"

"I asked Ayame for it... Heh, she gave me a hard time..."

"Oh... Okay then..."

"Yeah... Well, I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Huh?"

"I wanted to see if you were fine... After what happened yesterday and you not being at work..."

A smile appeared on Rukia's face while Ukyo runs out to her car to get more sake bottles.

"Oh.. I'll be fine... don't worry..."

"Are you sure? I mean, you could take a few days off.. You've always worked so hard.."

No hard enough...

"Yes, I'm sure..."

"Alright then... What to grab some lunch tomorrow?"

"Sure... and.. Thanks..."

"Eh? Why are you thanking me for?"

"Ah... It's nothing..."

"Well, if you need anything, feel free to call me..."

"Yeah, sure.. same here..."

"I'll see you tomorrow then, Orihime is droping by for dinner... So I'll talk to you soon... bye."

"Bye."

Orihime.

Rukia was sick to her stomach. She hasn't really met Orihime... But she knew Orihime was practically every guy's dream girlfriend. Rukia? Pft, she's just an ordinary girl. No one wants any ordinary girl...

Right?

"Oi, Rukia..." Ukyo pulls up a new bottle of sake, "It would be such a shame to let this bottle go to waste..."

Few hours later...

"You would have made ugly babies with him anyways..." Ukyo giggles, "I would have been, 'Damn! Your baby is fugly!' True story..."

Rukia laid on the ground as she waves her empty sake bottle around, "I bet he hated the Chappy movie... He didn't even laugh or cheer for Chappy..." Rukia looks at her empty bottle of sake and pouts, "Ukyoooooo... hand me another-"

"Nee-chan?" Kiyomi enters Rukia's room, "What are you-"

"No! You can't have any!" Ukyo giggles as she hugs onto bottles of sake.

"Kiyomiiiiiii... Tell Ukyo to give me some sake..."

"No! It's all mine!" Ukyo cackles while Kiyomi face palms laughing, "I'm going to make some hot t-"

"Nuuuuu... Stay here Kiyomi..." Rukia crawls onto her bed as she signals Kiyomi to follow, "Come-"

"Let's do some prank calls!" Ukyo whips out Kaien's cellphone, "I have some numbers in mind..."

A cheeky smile appears on Rukia's face, "Who is going first?"

Ukyo darts her eyes at Kiyomi who began to chuckle uneasily, "I don't think we should-"

"Awww... come on Kiyomi! Have some fun with us!" Ukyo hands Kiyomi Kaien's cellphone and thier home phone.

Kiyomi looks at the phone then Ukyo, "What should I say?"

Ukyo whispers into Kiyomi's ear as she smiles and giggles, "Okay! I understand!"

Ukyo picks out a number and makes the call as she hand Kiyomi the phone, "Like I explained..."

-dial tone-

"Hello?"

"Dad?" (She's doing it! She's doing it Rukia!)

"Umm... I think you have the wrong-" (Look at Kiyomi! She's so into character!)

"Dad, it's me. Reiko..."(hahahahahahaha)

"Kid... You got the wrong-" (Kiyomi.. make it sound more dramatic!)

"Dad, it's me. How can you not recognize-" (Rukia... Kiyomi would ace an acting class)

"Stop saying shit like that! I'm not your dad!"

"Mom said you would deny me! All I ever wanted was to get to know my dad! Mom was right! I HATE YOU!"

"Wa-"

Kiyomi hangs the phone up bursting out in laughter as Ukyo and a drunk Rukia joins her.

"What's the next number?"


-No Scrub-

Nurse Kuchiki... There's someone waiting for you in the lobby...

Hmm... I wonder who it is... Maybe it's Ki-no... She has class today...It's probablt uky-

"Surprise!"

Rukia's eyes widen. Her fists clenched. She wanted to scream, but she was in a hospital.. And she's a nurse...

"Kaien..." Rukia softly spoke, "I dont think we should see each other anymore.."

"What?" Kaien looks at Rukia confused, "What's wrong? Maybe we can"

"Nah, not yet. She wants to wait. Pft. Dump her ass! No, not after I get that ass! Don't you have a girlfriend for that? Yeah, but she's not a cute nurse." Rukia looks at Kaien in the eyes, "I'm cutting my losses and I think you should too..."

Rukia turned around as she walks away, leaving Kaien behind at a loss of words. all he could say was, "Sorry..."

Though Rukia knows better... He's not sorry because he feels bad... He's sorry because he was caught...


-How you Feel-

"Midori!" Rukia happily cheers, "Aww... This is the last day I'll be seeing you..."

Midori sports a cheeky smile, "You're probably the only person I'd miss from this hospital.."

Rukia tilts her head intrigued, "Why is that?"

"Well..." Midori slightly blushes, "You're the nicest nurse I've met and your very pretty too... I mean VERY PRETTY."

"Eh?" Rukia looks at Midori oddly.

"Okay.. How can I- okay... See, if I was older I'd like to ask you out..."

Rukia chuckles, "Oh! I'm sorry... But I'm men only... But I bet you'll meet someone great!"

"But I already have and she's standing right infront of me..."

Rukai face palms laughing, "I think I'm going to get some water..."


-Shades of Nostalgia-

It's so nice out... If only-

"Oi! Rukia!" Ichigo waves at Rukia, "Over here!"

Rukia looks at Ichigo's direction. Her heart sank. Orihime was sitting right next to him. Looping her arm with his. Smiling. Giggling. Kissing him on the cheek.

Rukia died a little inside.

"Ichigo!" Rukia walks towards Ichigo as seats herself across from him and nods at Orihime, "So, hows everything going between you two?"

Ichigo looks at Orihime who simply smiles, "Everything is great... I sometimes drop by for dinner because I can't really cook and Yuzu-chan makes such good-"

Rukia's pager went off as Ichigo's cellphone rang.

They both looked up... Thier eyes met before dashing off back to the hospital. Leaving Orihime behind...

"Rukia... You have such beautiful eyes..."


Ohs noes!

Who needs extra care at the hospital?
