Ichigo Kurosaki woke up quite suddenly, sat up in his bed and started scratching his head. That was weird, he thought as he remembered parts of his dream. A sea of black butterflies had flown in his bedroom window, in the middle of it he had caught glimpses of a figure he assumed was a girl due to her rather petite figure, shoulder length raven hair and dark violet eyes.

At one point it had seemed to him that she was reaching out to him, maybe even asking for help. He didn't quite remember. The butterflies had flown away and the girl had vanished along with them. The next thing he remembered was a city. A sideways city with a tall man dressed in a black torn up cloak. He also had long hair and was wearing orange sunglasses. That man was seemed familiar to him so he asked, " Who are you?" The stranger chuckled

"You should already know," he answered cryptically. It started raining. Then Ichigo had woken up.

"ICHI-NII! Come and eat breakfast or you'll be late for school!" his younger sister, Yuzu, shouted from the kitchen. Shit! Ichigo looked at his clock, which was ringing loudly. How long have I been sitting here. He got dressed in as fast as he could, ran down stairs, avoided his father's flying kick, ate as fast as he could and ran out the door.

Karin, Yuzu's twin sister, jumped over the twitching mass that was her father, Isshin, before walking out the door.

"Come on, Yuzu! Or we're gonna be late too!" She rolled her eyes knowing her sister was probably helping their idiot father get up.

"Leave him, he'll be fine!" Yuzu ran out and caught up with her sister. They laughed as they saw their brother in the distance running up the hill.

"Maybe we should have told him we changed the minutes on his clock." Karin said with a sly smile.

" I would have told him but he ran so fast I didn't have time to say a word" Yuzu answered with an innocent smile.

Ichigo was running as fast as he could. He was running so fast he had trouble breaking in front of the school. SHIT! He thought. No one is outside! I must be late! He ran up to his classroom, opened the door violently and bowed down.

"Please forgive me, Sensei! I was…" he lifted his head. WHAT THE HELL! No one is here! He looked at the clock.

"I'M 30 MINUTS EARLY?" He yelled. I'm so gonna killed theme when I get back home. He had figured his family was responsible for the bad joke. He sighed and sat at his desk. I might as well just wait it out, He thought. Ichigo looked out the window and saw a strange limousine stop out side.

He opened the window to take a better look. A tall red haired man, dressed in the school uniform, stepped out of the limo. What a weirdo, ichigo thought His hair is even crazier than mine. The man had arranged his flamboyant red hair in a big spiky ponytail and had what seemed to Ichigo, tattooed forehead and eyebrows.

The man seemed to reach in the limo for something. That something turned out to be some one's hand. The red haired man helped a very petite student out of the car. I can't be, the orange haired teen thought. It was her! The girl he had dreamed of. Her raven hair, her petit figure. It had to be her. He couldn't see her eyes from that distance but it just had to be her.

He could hear her voice ringing in his ears. " ICHIGOOOOOOOOO!" He remembered. Yes, in his dream, she had called out to him and reached out to him for help. Ichigo was sure he had yelled her name back but he couldn't remember what it was. He had tried to catch her but she had slipped out of his grasp into the sea of black butterflies. The despair in her voice was heart wrenching. Even now, as he remembered it his chest tightened.

A third person came out of the car. He was tall with long black hair. He wore a black suite, and had a long white scarf around his neck. He turned to the red haired man.

"Renji! If anything happens to her I will personally have you taken care of," he said coolly " Do I make myself clear?"

Ichigo heard their words as if he had been standing right beside them.

"Yes! Sir!" the red haired man answered with a military salute. The black haired man then turned to the small black haired woman.

" Remember going to public school is a privilege that can easily be taken away. If anyone discovers your true identity you will come back to study at home with your tutor. Understood?" He asked.

" Yes Nii-sama! I understand. I can't thank you enough," she answered as she bowed her head.

"It is her!" Whispered Ichigo as he recognized her voice. Lost in thought the orange haired teen didn't hear the rest of the conversation. He didn't even notice the tall black haired man step back in the limo and leave.

Rukia Kuchiki waved her brother goodbye then skipped happily towards the school. This is what she'd always wanted: a normal life with normal classmates and normal friends. Ever since the royal family, at the request of her older sister, had adopted her. Now she would finally get it! A normal, high school student life. No protocol. No curtsies and no one calling her… "Princess!" she heard coming form behind her.

She sighed and turned to see her bodyguard and childhood friend, Renji Abari, running towards her.

"Renji! How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that! You know I hate it! And when we are here we have to act like brother and sister! Got it?" she scolded him.

" Sorry Pri… ah, I mean Rukia" he apologized. " I should be more careful from now on." Rukia looked annoyed

"Stop bowing! Stupid!" She quickly turned around and started running towards the school. "Last one to find our classroom it a rotten egg!" she yelled out.

Renji smiled as he remembered the times they had spent together as children. She hasn't changed on bit. He thought not even after becoming a princess, not even after becoming the heir of the royal family. Well at least that is what Renji wanted to think but he knew he was lying to had changed. He knew the death of her sister had affected her greatly. Ever since she had taken on the Kuchiki name, that day she had taken a cold a distant expression only shedding a single quite tear as they buried Hisane. She never really acted like her self again. Today was actually the closest she had ever been to her old happy ways. He sighed. "Hey! Wait up!" the red haired man yelled as he ran after the princess.

Still lost in thought, Ichigo, didn't notice his classmates arriving. It was only when Keigo

came running towards him screaming "ICHIGO!" that he noticed the classroom was almost full. He easily dogged his friend, who landed with a rather loud thud behind him.

Mizuiro also greeted Ichigo in a much calmer and less painful way. Inoue came bouncing in the class waving with a huge smile on her face followed closely by Tasuki who punch Ichigo's shoulder, Uryu barely glanced at him, and chad gave a small nod of greeting.

As Keigo was getting up the teacher walked in ordering everyone to their seats. "Alright people! I'd like you all to meet your new classmates. " She gestured to the door and (you guessed it) a small dark haired girl and a tall red haired (baboon thought Ichigo) man stepped in the classroom. Ichigo felt his heart sink down to his stomach.

He couldn't keep his eyes of her as she introduced herself. " Hello! Nice to meet you all." She said with a smile "My name is Rukia Ku… Abarai" Ichigo noted her hesitation. It had been really short but he was sure she almost said something else.

"Hello! My name is Renji Abarai!" Said the man standing beside Rukia. The teacher looked at them with surprise "Are you siblings?" she asked. Renji, Ichigo noticed, seemed uncomfortable while Rukia on the other hand just smiled.

Anyone who would have seen it would have said it was a very honest and sincere smile but Ichigo was not fooled he knew she was putting on an act. He could see sadness in her eyes and for some reason it made his heart tighten. He didn't know why but he really disliked the idea of her being sad and hurt. He didn't like the idea of anyone being sad and hurt for that matter. How ever, thought he didn't realize it, his feelings were slightly different this time. He wondered was she was so unhappy. Why she seemed so lonely. Pretty girls like you shouldn't carry that kind sadness in their hearts.

"Actually we are cousins." The dark haired girl said "I was adopted by my aunt and uncle after my parents died when I was still to young to remember."

"Oh I'm so sorry" the teacher apologized.

"It's nothing really." Rukia replied "I am at peace with their deaths now. I got over it a long time ago."

"Hum, yes well I suppose you should get seated then." Said the teacher trying to change the subject.

"Let's see," she looked trough the classroom " Rukia, go sit over there" she pointed out the seat beside Ichigo's "and Renji you can sit there." She pointed out a seat at the opposite side of the classroom.

Renji threw a worried glace at Rukia but she didn't seem to notice as she went to her assigned seat. He kept doing the same all through out the first class hopping she would notice but she seemed completely oblivious.

In fact Rukia was to busy glancing at the student next to her. It seemed every time she looked down on her desk or up at the black board she felt watched. Every time she glanced at him he was never looking at her. But some how she knew it was him and it started to irritate her.

After a while Rukia could barely concentrate on what the teacher was saying…To keep her mind of him she started sketching in her notebook. She drew little bunnies on every corner of every page. Without realizing it she started to smile.

Wow, Ichigo thought catching another glimpse of her, she looks beautiful when she smiles for real. Then he caught a glimpse of what she was drawing. What the hell? Are they… rabbits? He couldn't really tell. They look like something a five year old would draw. Ichigo smiled and started scribbling something on a small piece of paper as the bell rang for lunch.

Nothing, not one force, not one being in the universe could explain what possessed Ichigo Kurosaki to walk passed Rukia's desk and drop the small piece of paper. Maybe it was momentary folly. Maybe it was some sort of twisted death wish. Maybe it was a disturbance in the force that had caused his IQ to drop to minus 9000. No one would ever know. The only certainty was that he immediately regretted the gesture.

What am I thinking? He thought. This is so childish. He quickly tried to escape the classroom before she read it. It was too late. She had read it. Twice.

Would you quite staring at me you're making me nervous.

P.S. Your drawings suck!

Rukia sent her notebook flying across the room. Ichigo felt a shape pain in the back of his head. "What the hell did you do that for!" he yelled as stomped up to her. "What the hell did you insult me for?" she retorted staring right back at him with fierce determination. Renji considered trying to break them up but decided against it when he saw the lightning coming out of their eyes. After all she is a big girl, she can take care of her self, he thought.

"I wasn't insulting you I was stating a fact! "

"Moron!"

"Midget!"

"Peasant!"

"Bitch!"

"OH! THAT IS IT! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS NOW!"

"BRING IT ON SHORT STUFF! I usually have a policy against hitting little girls but I'll make an exception for you!"

" I'm so touched!"

Without so much as a warning Rukia Ran towards him and punched him so hard he flew across the room. He quickly got back on his feet and ran towards her! He avoided a few of her punches and then he managed to kick her of her feet and she fell to the ground with a large thud. He smirked. As she stood up she grabbed the nearest desk and flung it at her opponent.

Ichigo avoided the improvised projectile and decided it would be best to immobilize her before she killed some innocent bystander. He ran towards her like a football player and tried to tackle her to the ground. That was a big mistake. He landed on the ground face first than felt a shape pain in his arm. Rukia was now sitting on top of him pinning him to the ground by pushing his arm on to his back.

Renji, now having finished his lunch, was starting to grow a little worried. He decided it might be time for him to intervene… "You know maybe you guys should stop this now…"

"STAY OUT OF THIS YOU IDIOT!" the dueling duo shouted before sending Renji flying out of the room with a combo double punch (9000 hit. Over kill). O.K. …I'm staying way out of this, He thought getting painfully back on his feet.

Renji took the time to yell, " If you guys don't stop you'll get in trouble! Don't say I didn't warn you!" before fleeing with many other students who now feared for their lives.

" KUROSAKI! ABARAI! PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE! NOW!" he heard in the distance. Boy, I'm glad I stay out of that, he smiled, though the captain will probably have my head for not protecting her.

Great, Ichigo thought as he walked back home. Detention, after school, every night for a whole week, with her of all people! Can my life get any more screwed up today? He would soon regret ever asking…
