SNEAKING AROUNDby rukia
"Shh! Be quiet!"
"I am being quiet, fool!" she whispered back vehemently, "You are the one who art boisterous!"
"Gee-zus, Rukia – learn to speak properly."
"I am learning, fool."
"Reading out-dated horror manga doesn’t count."
"It doesn’t?"
"Just..." he sighed in frustration, "just shut up."
They crept down to the foot of the unlit stairwell. Ichigo turned left and beckoned Rukia down the hallway toward a particular room which he could easily find even in the middle of the night.
Gripping the door handle, he gently eased the lock back, wincing when it made a low click that sounded deafening to his ears. He froze, fearful that his father sleeping upstairs heard that noise... or worse, one of his little sisters. This was one compromising situation he would do anything to keep from getting caught in.
A few more tense moments passed. Eventually, Rukia asked, "So you do it in this room?"
"God, don’t tell me that people don’t do it where you come from," he muttered.
"Of course we do. Constantly," she snapped under her breath defensively, "Sometimes I do it twice a day, if I have time."
"Good. Then get in," He shoved Rukia inside the room first and followed after her silently.
"Where is the light-maker?"
"It’s too risky to turn on the lights," he reminded her.
"It is difficult to do in the dark."
"There’s enough light," Ichigo indicated the moonlight streaming in from the window on the far end.
Rukia sighed and looked around as she stepped farther into the narrow room, "Now what?"
"What do you mean ‘now what’?" Ichigo asked, incredulous. "Strip off your clothes and... you know."
"Well, I know that part. I meant..." she eyed the left wall wearily, "those metal things."
"What, don’t you have those in Soul Society?"
"It doesn’t look like that."
"Fine, fine... here, look," he walked over to demonstrate, "See how I do it?"
"Gah," Rukia recoiled from Ichigo and grumbled, "Now I’m wet already, fool."
"I thought that was the point," Ichigo said dryly.
"I’m not ready yet!"
"Fine, whatever. Just don’t make too much noise or someone will wake up."
"You’re the noisy one."
"Shut up. Do you want to do this or not? We can just go back to my room and call it a night."
"No, I want to!" Rukia easily disguised her desperate tone behind her next scathing comment, "You won’t quit your incessant whining otherwise!"
"That’s because you st–"
"Shut up, fool," she cut in, "Now, get out and keep watch."
Eager to get this business over with, Ichigo passed by her on his way out the door, "No more than 10 minutes."
"I know," she growled back as she watched him slip out of the dim room and back into the pitch black hallway. He took great pains to ease the door closed as quietly as possible.
Satisfied that he was out of her hair for the time being, Rukia looked around the dimly lighted bathroom thoughtfully. This was a necessity that she did not have a chance to perform in half a week; ever since the night she began residing in the human world. She wondered if bathing rituals in this world would turn out to be more complicated than it should. It shouldn’t have to be; the two worlds weren’t that different, after all.
She stripped off her soggy white socks, staring at the metal fixtures cautiously. Although Ichigo had just shown her how to use this so-called "shower" mechanism, she still wasn’t certain if it would work effectively for her. Well, there was only way to find out. She reached for the handle and twisted it forcefully –
"ACK! This blasted contraption is spewing cold water at me!"
Out in the hallway, Ichigo nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard her muffled scream. Clutching a hand over his heart, he muttered, "There has got to be a better way..."
~*~*~
Thus Ichigo has gotten Rukia to fulfill his desire for her to... take a damn bath, silly. The time of this story is still very early in the series, but she’s already been in a Gigai for several days & she was starting to reek. Aiyaa... -_-
I got the whole idea from![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
lovelycoconuts’s translated Radio-Kon section in her website. It mentioned Rukia’s bathing habits, so it made me wonder what happened the first time she tried to go take a bath...
This is the closest I’ll ever get to writing IchiXRuk smut – it doesn’t even have well-written innuendos. :P Anyone could do better, I bet.
Heh, see what pre-exam stress made me write? ^_^;
