Meet Ichigo Kurosaki. A normal 19 year old teenager just like any other high school student. Well, scratch that for two reasons. The obvious reason being that he has bright, neon orange hair which he inherited from his mother, which has, sadly, passed away. You'll find out more about that incident later on. Second reason being that in secret he's the most famous singer on the charts to this day, all of his songs landing in the top three every month. But nobody knows about that little fact except for his family and his closest friends, everyone just knows him as Ichigo Kurosaki, not 'Tensa', his stage name, from the popular band 'Tensa Zangetsu'. Now, I know what you're probably thinking... How can anyone not notice probably the only person with orange hair on this earth? Of course there are reasons for this, too. Well, one of his friends that know his secret, Orihime Inoue, also has orange hair, which hardly matters, and whenever he goes anywhere as Tensa he colors his hair to black and puts red contacts in to make his eyes an orangish red color.
Now meet Shirosaki Ogichi, or Shiro, a promising singer quickly rising to the top, falling just behind Ichigo... err, I mean Tensa. Unlike Ichigo who doesn't want all the unwanted attention from publicity and, therefore, hides his true identity, Shiro absolutely adores the attention from it. He doesn't hide that fact either, flaunting it and bragging about it all the time which often annoys his friends, not like he cares. Oh, I almost forgot to mention why he's pretty hard to miss. The first reason being he has pure, snowy white hair, and yes, he's only 20 years old, not some old dude with the second being his eyes. His eyes are golden eyes, quite normal, but what sets them apart from everyone elses is that these golden irises sit in the middle of pure black. Pretty eerie, eh? Especially since they're his natural eyes, no contacts or anything, same with his hair.
Anyways, on with the story. One day Shiro spots Ichigo at school and, unfortunately for Ichigo, he wants him and he wants him bad. As time goes on and Shiro falls harder for the berry he won't take no for an answer. Unfortunately for Shiro, no is the only thing that Ichigo is willing to give as a response. Worse yet, Shiros biggest enemy and rival for spot number two in the music industry, Grimmjow Jaeggarjaques, also has his eyes set on the berry. Now for all the curious people out there, Grimmjow was a singing prodigy at the young age of ten, now 21, so being beaten occasionally by a nobody like Shiro is not exactly sitting well with him. So when he find out he's also gunning for Ichigo, you can bet he takes it personally, and also, as a challenge which he's more then willing to accept. Grimmjow has blue hair that is pretty hard to miss, and just like Shiro, he makes no attempt whatsoever to hide it as he, too, enjoys the attention the publicity has to offer. He has deep blue eyes that many have compared to the sea on a bright, sunny day or when he's pissed, which might I add is often, the cold, frozen ice that can cut right through you.
I do believe that is enough for the introductions of our main characters. You'll find out more about the other characters as you read on, which I do hope you indeed do. So, how about we get on with this story, ne? Enter the first day of school...
