Takes place many years after bleach
It was a crisp cool morning, and it certainly didn't look to be a day that would change anyone's life, let alone that of someone like Karu Reikon. But all that said, it would certainly be a day to remember. Light was creeping out of cracks in the sea of clouds, and Karu was just beginning to wake. Slowly, he rolled over in his bed and was quickly startled awake by the loud beeping of his alarm. 'Right. Last day of school, try not to do anything crazy'. He thought to himself. Karu went to Karakura High School, and this was his senior year. He had never seen much of a future for him in school, though. He wasn't exactly stupid, he had an IQ of 119 (which wasn't particularly high, but it was fairly average). He wasn't a weakling; he could about match most of his classmates in sports. But his only real talent was fighting. All in all, he really wasn't the school "type". He had C's and B's in most of his classes.
Standing up and putting his uniform on, Karu prepped for school as he would any other day. He had just finished brushing his teeth, and began walking out to school. He passed by the many trees near his house, and after a half-hour of walking reached his school. He began to walk inside, but was quickly stopped by Kage McSilver, "the king". Kage had gotten into more than a few fights with Karu, all of which he quickly lost, but today he appeared to be feeling particularly foolish. Karu passed him by with only an annoyed glare, but Kage shouted back at him "Hey, short-sword, 'thought I told you not to come today. Or did you already forget?" with a menacing tone.
For most of the school year, Karu has been called "Short Sword" by most of the school for bringing in a katana to school (the katana he had was not really a short sword at all, the name was also an inappropriate reference, just the type of humor Kage loves). He had been seeing strange things with masks, like monsters or something, sometimes from the time he moved to Karakura. He had seen one kill someone once, so after that he had been keeping one on his person when he went places. One day he had brought it to school by mistake and was nearly expelled for it. After that he had seen a psychiatrist about these "monsters". After a while he didn't see the monsters much anymore, so he dismissed it to an overactive imagination.
'Great way to start the day, huh Karu?' he thought. Slightly angered now, Karu walked up to Kage. "I don't have time for you right now." He said as he scowled at the offender, and walked off. Kage, now thoroughly angered, walked up to Karu and attempted to punch him in the back. Having heard his footsteps and felt the movement of the air signaling an attack, Karu quickly sidestepped the attack and proceeded to grab Kage's arm and use it to shove him to the ground with his previous momentum. "Nope, didn't forget, I just don't take orders from assholes." Said Karu. Having now dealt with his attacker, Karu walked off to first period.
Karu was 16 years old, and rather tall. He had long, loose white hair going about halfway down his neck, though it wasn't very thick. His eyes were a light blue, and he looked a bit older than he was. The school uniform was grey, a color many considered quite bland but he favored it above all others. His shoes were torn up from a mix of sprinting and age, but he had no real desire to replace them. Despite the previous incident with the katana, he still kept a pocket knife hidden on him just in case. His white hair combined with the sword event made him quite an object of hatred within the school. Once he even had needed to use it against Kage when he tried stabbing Karu with a pencil (he tried not to hurt Kage, but he couldn't avoid cutting off the dumbass's finger). Luckily, Kage was (for once) smart enough to know that to explain that I had a weapon would require mentioning his attack. As a result, Kage simply ditched school and went to the hospital. Kage and he had fought so often it was a wonder it hadn't happened sooner.
It was first period, and , his seemingly rather ignorant Japanese teacher (despite the obvious fact that this FanFic is in English, Karakura town is in Japan), had not yet arrived. It was a wonder nobody thus far had noticed him running around in some black robe before class. Somehow Karu seemed the only one able to notice. "Good morning, Karu-kun!" shouted Hikari Rose, seemingly the only one in the whole school who liked him. Startled, Karu whipped around and gave her an odd look. "Good morning, Hikari-Chan." replied Karu. At around that moment he saw his red haired teacher enter the room. "Renji isn't looking so good…" He heard Hikari mutter to herself. Indeed, Mr. Abarai had scratches all over his body. It seemed that although he wore the weirdest things in class, he only ever wore his black kimono outside of school. "So know you know him well enough to call him Renji? Have a little respect, kid." He told her. Hikari was 2 years younger than him, but she had somehow ended up in his grade. He often wondered about that, but never really put much thought in.
Class went as usual, Abarai-San taught class as if he only had a 5th grade education in the subject, and (an event not quite usual, but still not uncommon) around halfway through his phone rang and he ran off with nary a word. He saw him running off into the distance in a black robe when looking through the window and thought it odd that he didn't take a road, but put that away for later. After half a class of chatter and the like, the bell rang and class ended. This was when things got weird. Raru felt… uneasy. The easiest way to describe it is like smelling something through everything but his nose, and even so not actually smelling it but more knowing what the smell was. And this was NOT a good smell (to keep with the metaphor). Still, he walked to period two, Art with Kutchki Rukia-San. Abarai and Kutchki were his weirdest two teachers, they always seemed to be leaving and dressing in black robes. His other teachers were Mr. Miyamoto (not nearly as cool as his namesake, a videogame designer, teaches math), Mr. Morgan (an American teaching world history), Gonju-san (teaches gym, won't give last name, almost as weird as Renji and Rukia) and Mr. Porze (teaches tech Ed, is Italian).
After he reached class, however, Ms. Kutchki was not there. This was odd because he was late. He asked Hikari (they had most classes together) about it, but she said that she had disappeared quite early on. Oddly enough, the feeling he was getting was getting stronger as all the teachers were leaving, almost as if the source was drawing near. Still he ignored it and listened to the chatter throughout the room. There were many rumors about some kind of teachers party, some about an emergency in the teachers lounge, and other rumors to explain the disappearance of Abarai, Kutchki and (He soon found out) Gonju. The feeling was growing quite strong now, and he began to remember the last time he felt this. That was the day he had seen a "monster" kill someone. Today it was far stronger. Was this how a mental breakdown felt? It would explain a lot.
Time having passed far more quickly than expected, class was once again, out. He thought he saw a shadow creep across a wall, but dismissed it as merely a figment of his imagination. The feeling was incredibly powerful now; it seemed as if it were coming from everywhere at once. Suddenly there was a small crack in the wall. He was on the top floor of the school, and the crack was high up. Slowly the crack grew and everyone began to notice it. Then the feeling grew even more powerful, and the wall shattered. Everyone was running and panicking, and standing in the center of it, seeming to fill the room, were three masked beasts. They all had holes in their chests and piercing red eyes. One had a body like a large boar, and was grotesque and menacing, with tusks half the length of his body. The second one had a very large, muscular human body and was dark purple, a shade darker around the hold. Its arms extended into long tentacles with spikes on the ends. The third seemed to be a masked, grey skinned nude baby with a very small hole, a bird skull like mask and huge bat wings. To make matters worse, Hikari was nowhere to be seen. Karu took the bar of deodorant out of his pocket, removed the bar and took out the hidden knife from the container. He shifted into his battle stance and prepared for war.
