Authors note:

This is my second Bleach story and this time the pairing is Hitsugaya x OC. I hope you guys will like the main character I've created and this story as well. The antagonist and their evil plan (sounds kinda silly don't know why O.O) in this story were inspired by the bleach movie Memories of Nobody. There will be some similarities but I will also make some changes so please give my story a go. =)

Chapter one Fateful encounter

Oh – my – god! The new kid Hitsugaya Toushiro is hugging me. To my surprise even though he is skinny it feels good to lean on his well-built body with his hands holding my shoulders.

"Can you stand by yourself instead of relying on me to hold you up?" I heard a very annoyed voice ask me.

Ok ok so he isn't hugging me but a girl can dream right? You're probably wondering why he was holding me up in the first place.

20 minutes ago

I was with my friends Machi Orika and Eigo Tai in the gym waiting for our teacher to arrive. Machi Orika was a pretty averaged height girl. A lot of guys like her and though she knew it she was modest about it. I mean who could blame her? She had long black hair and for an Asian her eyes were pretty big which added to her beauty. She rarely exercises and yet still manages to maintain her slim physique. Eigo Tai has average looks and always styles his hair in that typical Asian guy way. He likes dying his hair brown and is pretty tall. No surprise there since his favorite sport is basketball. Me? Well I'm not that great. I am short and have a face of a 12 year old (I am 14). I just recently cut my black hair to shoulder length and a fringe that is swept to the right. I hate the fact that I have a fast-burning metabolism which means I am skinny and people are always telling me to eat more (you have no idea how frustrating that is considering I eat A LOT). I'm average with my studies and absolutely hate sports. Why? Well cause I'm constantly called "butter fingers" and lets a ball roll/fly right past me. So guess the right way to describe my hatred for sports is that I suck at it.

Finally Orie-sensei decides to grace us with her presence.

"Good morning class. The sport for today will be basketball." Her voice rang loud and clear. She has a naturally loud voice.

I inwardly groaned.

"You gonna cope Chihiro?" Tai asked me with a mocking tone.

"Hmm, think I'll probably just avoid the ball and I'll survive this hour." I said. The other reason why I wanted to stay away from the ball was because I can't stand it when people reprimand me for not catching the ball. They don't know how bad it makes me feel.

"That's not how the game works Chihiro." Orika nudged me lightly and smiled. Did I mention that Orika though isn't as good with sports as Tai is still manages to do well in it?

"But before we start I want to introduce a new student that will be joining our class," she said. "Hitsugaya Toushiro." And on cue in comes the new student. He was short. He practically looked like a kid instead of a teenager (but guess I can't say much since people always mistaken me for a kid too). Although his mature (and very cute!) face says otherwise. He was also skinny but yet that was what added to his alluring look. On top of what added to this abnormal teenager was his white spiky hair with a single tress that fell over his teal-green eyes (again abnormal for an Asian). However, overall he was very cute. I looked over to Orika to see what she thought.

"His cute right?" I said in that voice when a girl is ready to gossip. Another one of my weak points. I can't keep a secret.

"Totally. His different to most of the guys in our high school but don't you think he doesn't look very friendly?"

I turn my attention back to the new kid and true enough he doesn't look friendly. He had a frown on his face like he doesn't like the attention. But hey no one likes being a new kid so I guess I can understand where his coming from.

"Yeah. Maybe he just doesn't like being a new kid. No one does."

"Hmm, guess so." She had on a thoughtful expression.

Beeepp. The sound of Orie-sensei's whistle resounded across the huge golden-brown gym

"Let's play ball!" she shouted and everyone split into their teams. I was glad I got to be with Orika but Tai ended up being on the other team. The teams were created through the "1-2" way. I saw Hitsugaya moving to talk to the teacher before focusing my attention on the dreaded ball and moving away from it. Everything was going fine; I managed to avoid having anything to do with the game when suddenly one of my teammates called my name and threw the ball towards me. I was so surprised that my legs moved towards the bright orange ball that my brown eyes were focused on and my hands were out in front of me ready to try and catch it when suddenly my legs tripped over something. I started falling forwards, my hands flailing about ready to try and break my fall. I heard the ball land somewhere else and my teammates shouting at someone, something about foul play when suddenly I felt a body. It felt skinny but yet at the same time nice and firm. I looked up to see who the unfortunate person I had fallen on was when I gazed up into beautiful green eyes (you hardly see that around here). It was Hitsugaya Toushiro, the new kid. I could feel my cheeks warming up.

"Can you stand by yourself instead of relying on me to hold you up?" And this brings me back to the present.

"So-sorry!" I said and bowed. What was it about this guy that made me get overcome with even more shyness than I already usually am with strangers? And wait did I just bow? Does he exude authority or what? When I looked back up he adorned a "what the hell?" look. Yeah guess that was weird.

"Team 2 you will get a free shot since Team 1 tripped up a player from your team." A series of whoops came from my team. So that was what I tripped over, a foot.

I looked back to Hitsugaya but he had already gone to where my other team members were. They were crowded around the best player in our team that will be shooting the ball towards our hoop. Guess his going to participate in the sport.

"How was it?" I turned towards the direction of the voice to see Orika standing beside me with a very excited face expression. I giggled, immediately knowing what she wanted to know.

"It was good. Don't be fooled by that skinny exterior. I can tell he works out." Thinking back to our physical contact.

"Chihiro you're blushing!"

"Argh! Am I? Sorry I was just you know, reliving that moment in my mind." Orika laughed and I laughed along with her. Suddenly the court was mixed with excited shouts and upset groans. Guess Mamoru got the ball through the hoop successfully.

After a few more minutes of play Orie-sensei gathered us together to announce the winner of today's game.

"Team 2 wins by two points!" Our team started clapping and shouting happily. Wow that free shot was crucial.

"Good game Tai." I smirked at him.

"Hey my team is going to win the next sport we play for PE."

"Sure sure." I smiled at him and headed off with Orika to the changing rooms.

The rest of the day pass by in a blur before the last bell of the day rang. After packing the last of the books I need into my white large bag (it's actually kinda like a hand bag but its still durable for school) I shut my wooden locker door and waved a bye to my friends before heading towards the main doors. I don't bother locking my locker (we use a lock and key) cause no one steals any of my possessions anyway.

As I started walking home with my mp3 plugged into my ears I thought about what happened today. That new kid. He seemed so mature unlike the other guys my age but so much more cold too. I can't believe I had such an encounter with him. Not that I didn't like it just that I was so shy if I hadn't fell on him me and him would probably never talk, not in a million years. I would be too shy to and well he just didn't look bothered to have any form of communication with anyone in the class. He certainly was different but I guess in a good way.

I admired the beautiful kaleidoscope of leaves on the trees and ground that I would always witness while walking, occasionally kicking them up. Random Japanese music playing from my mp3, flowed through my ears. The beautiful sight and the music disrupted my thoughts on Hitsugaya momentarily. Finally, I reached my house. I took out my keys and it jangled against the key chains I fitted it with and unlocked both locks on my brown wooden door with separate keys.

"Tadaima Okasan!" I shouted while removing my black school shoes and locking the door simultaneously.

'Okaeri!" My mum shouted back.

I walked towards my room and set my bag down on the floor. What a day! Haven't had a new student in ages and suddenly a totally gorgeous boy arrives. Wonder what tomorrow would bring?

Authors note:

Alright that's my first chapter. I kinda got writers block towards the end so that's why it got more boring lol. Anyway, hope you guys still enjoyed it and please review. I just need to know I've got interested readers and the reviews would be an indicator. I don't really think there's any point in continuing if there aren't any people reading it.

So thanks for reading and an even bigger thanks for when you review. =)
