Lemony: NIIIIINNNN-NIIII CHAAAANNN!
Nin-Ni Chan: *slaps Lemony*
Lemony: *rubs face* What the heck was that for?
Nin-Ni Chan: I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE ME WAIT SO LONG FOR AN UPDATE, WHORE-MONGER!
Lemony: I TOLD YOU I WAS SORRY FOR THAT! *chases Nin-Ni Chan*
Now it was Ichigo's turn to get interrogated by Rukia. Approaching him wouldn't be nearly as hard as Gin. He was her friend after all, he'd tell her the truth right? It would probably be a distorted truth, but the truth nonetheless. The raven-haired girl decided to visit him in his dorm. Today was Thursday and she knew he didn't any classes. Now here she was, sitting across from Ichigo in his room. She'd taken a seat on his bed and he sat down in his desk chair. There was silence for a moment.
"Orihime told me you wanted to talk to me about something," Ichigo began, Rukia simply nodded.
"Well what is it?" He asked, here the younger Kuchiki drew in a breath.
"I...I wanted to know...about Rangiku..."
Ichigo's eyebrows drew together instantly and he scowled for a moment. "What are you talking about?"
"Rangiku. Rangiku Matsumoto." Rukia said sternly, sounding oddly like Byakuya. "Did you know her?"
"I don't know who you're talking about Rukia." Ichigo replied dismissively. "Lemme guess, Ichimaru put you up to this, didn't he?"
"As a matter of fact he did," Rukia told him, "He told me to ask you about Rangiku. Now tell me the truth Ichigo, did you know her?"
There was a long pause before Ichigo said, "No."
"You're lying." Rukia then said, "Byukuya said you were the last one to see her alive, that must mean something."
Ichigo rolled his eyes so hard he threatened to knock himself out. "So you've got Byakuya investigating me now, huh? You're barking up the wrong tree, Kuchiki. You need to be questioning that smiling weirdo you call a boss."
Rukia sighed, she knew this would lead back to Gin. She realized early on it was pointless to ask Ichigo anything but she decided to keep trying.
"Ichigo," She began sagely, "Just tell me the truth. I'm your friend. You know I would never judge you...just tell me what happened."
"Nothing happened!" Ichigo snapped, his voice hard. "Now are we done, I've homework to do."
"Whatever Ichigo. I will find out what you're trying to hide and when I do you won't be able to deny anything. You just wait." Rukia said and with a huff she stormed out of his room leaving Ichigo alone. The orange-haired boy sighed and swallowed hard. He hadn't expected her to bring up Rangiku or Gin, but now it was becoming painfully clear that Rukia wouldn't stop until she uncovered his horrible secret. He turned around and snatched his cellphone off of his desk.
He dialed one number.
"Hello?" A metallic, evil voice purred on the other line.
"Hichigo...she knows..."
Rukia left Ichigo's dormitory, infuriated. He could be such a stubborn child sometimes! Why wouldn't anyone tell her what happened? Once again, she had the divine right to know what was going on! There had to be one soul out there who didn't give a damn and would simply tell her the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! As she walked across campus back to her car Rukia let her mind wander. Gin refused to disclose any information short of his engamnent to Rangiku, and Ichigo simply wouldn't tell her what happened. Who did that leave? Nobody to Rukia...little did she know there was one person who knew everything.
She unlocked her car and climbed inside. The moment she did a low chuckle echoed from the back seat. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end immediately. She'd recognized that chuckle anywhere! Slowly reaching up she adjusted her rear-view mirror; she saw a set of bright yellow eyes staring back at her.
"Hichigo!" She screamed turning around so fast she almost gave herself whiplash, lo and behold Ichigo's twin was sitting in her back seat, smirking like someone who had just gotten away with murder.
"What are you doing in my car?" She demanded, "Get out! Right now! Or I'll-"
"You'll wha?" He growled, folding his arms. "Call ya big brother? Go 'head, I dare ya."
Rukia quieted down immediately. That was exactly what she was going to do! This idiot had broken into her car and scared the God-holy hell out of her! He deserved whatever Byakuya was going to give him!
"Just where do ya' get off asking King 'bout that slut, huh?" Hichio purred, there was silence in the car.
Hichigo continued, "If ya' really wanted to know sum things, ya' shoulda asked me. I woulda told ya everything..."
"Alright," Rukia spat, "Spill it or get out!"
Hichigo simply laughed. "How stupid are ya? It doesn' take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Why else would sum big-time lawyer come after sum college boys?"
"We fucked his woman a' course." He said, laughing even harder. Rukia didn't like his laugh, it made her blood run cold. "And we fucked her good."
"Wait a minute," Rukia muttered, "We?"
"Tha's right. Me AND King rode that whore that like a Russian race horse in the final stretch."
Rukia nearly gagged!
"King doesn' like ta' talk 'bout it cause he thinks its gross. But yeah, we tag-teamed that bitch. Anything else ya wanna know, bunny?"
"You're disgusting!" The younger Kuchiki snapped, "Ichigo would never-"
"King'll do anything when he's drunk...and Ol' Ranni did too."
"Get out! Now!" Rukia demanded, not wanting to hear anymore. So that was it then, Ichigo and Hichigo had sex with Rangiku while she was engaged to Gin. No wonder he was so sensitive about the subject. With a chuckle Hichigo climbed over the seats and got out of the passenger door.
"I bet ya' wondering who took the bitch out, too?" He said to a shaking Rukia, "I'll let ya' ponder that one on ya' own. Hope I've been helpful to ya!"
With one final, blood-chilling cackle, Hichigo slammed the door and sauntered off leaving Rukia alone in her car, absolutely terrified. She took several deep calming breaths as her mind began working normally again. That was it...Rangiku cheated on Gin with not one but two college boys. She figured when Gin caught wind of it he broke off the engagement and went after the Ichigo and his family for revenge. Still, that didn't mean Gin was completely in the wrong, he was probably heartbroken and hurt. Honestly, Rukia would want some revenge too if something like that happened to her. But then that leaves Ichigo, his shame was probably the reason why he didn't like to talk about Rangkiu. Of course Hichigo had no shame, he flaunted what they had done. That's probably how Gin found out in the first place.
Damn.
But that only left two things: Why was Ichigo the last one to see her alive? And finally, who killed her?
