Title : Kissing a Stranger

Kuchiki Rukia silently tip toed as she carefully walks towards their driveway, this was her first time to sneak out of the house at the middle of the night. Please don't wake. Oh please, please don't wake up.. Just give me this one night.. please. She silently muttered as she cautiously passed through servant's quarter holding his breath. The raven haired Kuchiki princess then climbed her way to the leaning Sakura tree to pass through the Kuchiki Manor's gigantic gate, giving one last glance at the dim lighted mansion jumping at the other side.

Come on Matsu.. Where the hell are you.. the petite business management student grunted as she dialed her friend's phone number.

"Im coming! I'm coming! Sheesh.." she heard her voluptuous friend chuckling as she answered her phone. Rukia can almost hear Momo's complaining voice at the background.

"You better hurry up before they notice that I'm missing!!" Rukia hissed, as she nervously glanced at their sleeping house.

"Aw come on Ruki.. no one's going to know you sneaked out! Relax! You're just like Momo here. Geez. Get a life people! It's my party and we are going to enjoy ne? Okay, I'm almost in your house now.. Where are you?"

"Inside the car.. What took you so long??" Rukia grinned as she opened the SUV's door, leaning to kiss Matsumoto, Momo and Orihime.

"Rukia-chan! You look so pretty today!!" Hinamori Momo, greeted her with big adoring eyes.

"Thank you Momo. You look so pretty too. Who did you make up?" she smiled at the black haired girl. Hinamori Momo is the youngest in their group, has been their 'official' baby.

"Oh, I helped her chose her clothes and did her make up too!" Inoue Orihime proudly said as she hugged the younger girl. "Well, she kept on mumbling about how her grumpy boyfriend wouldn't want her to look like this, but in the end.. the Mighty Goddess of Justice and Beauty prevailed!!!" she added, shouting all her might.

Rukia cannot help but laugh at the brown haired girl's antics. Really, she cannot help but love her girl friends. Orihime, also a graduating student taking up culinary arts, Momo, and Matsumoto, the oldest in their group who is now working at her fiance's advertising agency.

"You know Toushiro doesn't like it when I go out at night" Momo said apologetically. "But Matsumoto-chan said she's going to announce something really really important.. so I have to go even if…" the younger girl wasn't able to finish her sentence for she was already hugged by the big busted girl in front.

"Oh…you poor, poor girl.. stuck with that grumpy midget.." Matsumoto abruptly stopped the car to give Hinamori a big hug.

"Matsu..chan..I..cannot..b-breath.."

"So.. Matsu, what is that 'thing' you wanted to tell us?" Rukia interjected, trying to save the black haired girl from further suffocation.

"Maybe Matsu-chan is going to run for President? Or, are you going to buy new shoes? ..Yeah, you did told me you liked that shoes we saw at the mall the other day.." Orihime loudly said, holding her chin to speculate further.

"Erm.. Orihime.. I don't think.." Rukia's comment was cut by Matsumoto's booming voice.

"Gin and I are getting MARRIED!!!"

The three girls shrieked like they never did before in their entire life. Oh yes. They are sooooo going to celebrate tonight.


Kurosaki Ichigo amusedly stared at the girl on the dance floor. She has been dancing almost all night, and he cannot help but watch her as she turns and sway her delicate curves. Clad in strapless one piece black dress that stops just a few inches below her thighs, exposing long creamy legs that is sure to catch anyone's attention – pervert or not. And her red stiletto adding more flame to the already delectable pair of legs – the most gorgeous pair of legs he has ever laid his eyes on.

No, she's probably not with anyone. No guy in his right mind would let a girl like that dance alone in a place like this. He thought as he sipped his rhum. He has been contemplating on approaching the raven haired girl for she has been attracting attention, - too much attention actually, for he can now see some guys dancing flirtatiously with her at the dance floor.

Kuchiki Rukia has probably exceeded her alcohol limit for she cannot control her body anymore. She has been dancing for what seemed like hours and guys has been dancing with her alternately all night. She tried looking for her friends through the crowd. She saw Momo on the other side talking to a white haired guy.. Is that Toushiro? She hazily thought. Scanning the room, she saw Orihime talking to the bartender, as if comparing her 'cocktail recipes' while Matsumoto is talking to a couple of cute looking guys on the side. Her thoughts were cut when she felt a hand touch her bare shoulders, when she turned to face the offender, she was greeted by a wide chest and arms, now griping her so tightly. She tried to push the man away, but to no avail. She was obviously too drunk and too small to stop the man from practically groping her.

"E-excuse me.." still trying to get away from the malicious hands that are now traveling all over her body.

"Why babe? Don't yah like may dancing?" the man answered, smiling at her maliciously.

"Get your hands off me!!" Rukia said, panic obvious in her voice. Matsu, Orihime, Momo.. anyone.. help me!! She kept on pushing the man as she prayed silently, but the man – unluckily for her proved to be too strong for her.

"I'm sorry I'm late honey… Is there a problem here?" Out from nowhere, a tall, orange haired man suddenly appeared, looking murderously at the man who is now starting to loosen his grip on her body.

Rukia bit her lips nervously as she stared at her 'knight in shining armor' who is now sizing the other man dangerously.

"Is there a problem here? Is this guy harassing you?" the orange haired man demanded.

"N..no.. Honey" Oh please, don't make a scene. Rukia pleaded in her mind. Her brother would surely kill her if he finds out the she sneaked out of the house, and worst – got herself into a brawl.

Luckily for her, the other man walked away muttering inaudible words which she didn't cared to listen to. She was about to turn to her 'hero' to give gratitude when she felt her hands being tugged to the other side of the room – to the more 'quieter' part of the room.


Ichigo sighed. He was partly relieved that the guy didn't tried putting up a fight, well not that he would back out though, its just that getting into fights has been way past him – at 25, surely, he should know better. He knew he shouldn't have got into this 'thing' but he cannot help himself when he saw the bastard trying to harass her, something inside of him stirred. He just knew that he has to do something to 'save' her.

"Listen, I'm not really the kind of person who helps out strangers especially women who are obviously flaunting and flirting with every guy that she meets, much more if she happens to meet them in the dance floor" Ichigo ranted just as soon as they found a spot where they can hear each other clearly.

"I'm sorry?! Hey, I was about to thank you, you know!" the raven haired girl glared, obviously pissed at the other person's rant. "And I am not flaunting myself nor flirting with everyone! I was just DANCING!"

"You call that a dance? You were deliberately seducing all the male population in this bar and you are calling that dancing?? Geez woman, you obviously have issues! Where did you.. " the orange haired man was abruptly cut as the girl he was raging on suddenly stepped closer and claimed his lips for a sensual kiss. Soft delicate lips caressed him, her small tongue exploring his mouth shamelessly.

Kuchiki Rukia hadn't been kissed before. Whether it was the brandy she took a while ago, or the relief of being saved from that perverted man at the dance floor, - or perhaps the fact that her knight in shining armor is a handsome man with the warmest amber eyes she'd ever seen, she didn't know. All she knew though is that she is having one hell of a crazy night, and she's having her first kiss with a guy she barely knew.

Before he can even react or respond to her kiss, Kurosaki Ichigo felt the girl pulling out her sweet lips from his. Winking at him just before she disappeared at the door, "That's for saving me tonight stranger."
