I do not own bleach or any of Kubo Tite's Characters, but I do own my own Original Characters.

Just a story I'm working on redoing while I wait for another fic to finish, so I don't spoil it.

Chapter 1

A girl walked through an open sliding door and out onto the bright porch of her Rokongai home. She was very short, shorter than 4 feet tall. Her white hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, her thick bangs falling in equal parts on either side of her face. Her large, ice blue, eyes squinting in the morning sunlight. She wore a lavendar Yukata covered with white cranes.

She sat down on the hard wooden porch, letting out a huge yawn. She lived in one of the nicer districts. The house she lived in was fairly large and well kept. It had an extensive back yard covered with green grass. The only bad thing, was that it was in a very crowded area, so there were many houses nearby. She shared the house with two other people. She looked out over the sun drenched back yard as a small flock of birds landed there.

After a moment, through the morning silence, she heard footsteps making their way through the house toward her. They stopped as they reached the doorway,

"So this is where you went."

"Morning Akira."

Akira sat down next to her. He was very tall and thin. He had dark brown eyes and fairly short black spiked up hair. He wore a black and blue stripped yukata and perfectly clean tabi socks. Thin rectangular glasses sat atop his nose,

"Takin in the scenery one last time?"

"I guess you could say that…" She sighed, "I'm just a little…nervous, y'know?"

"well, you are moving on to something new. I'm sure you'll make a great Shinigami though."

She smiled a little, "Thanks Akira."

"Mhm…Anyway, shouldn't you be getting ready to go? You are leaving this afternoon aren't you?"

"Yeah, that's true." She slowly stood, "I should probably pack."

She turned and walked back into the darkened house, almost immediately noticing something she hadn't before. Her other housemate had fallen asleep on the floor, right inside the door. She had long braided blue hair with very long bangs in the front that spread out over the floor. Her white yukata was open a bit more than she probaby would've liked, revealing a bit of her ample chest. Her hand was wrapped around a very tall bottle of sake.

Akira walked up behind her, and noticed her as well,

"Ah! Aoi! Get up!"

She opened one green eye, "Uhhhh…"

"Yuki has to leave soon! Don't you want to say goodbye?"

"What? Where're you going?" She asked, obviously a still a little drunk,

"She's leaving for the Shinigami Academy, idiot!"

Aoi stood up and scrached her head, "Is that today…? You just got accepted."

"They wanted me to start at the beginning of the new semester…that's tomorrow."

"That's aaaaawfly short notice…"

"Well, that's what happened. I gotta go get packed."

Yuki walked to the back corner of the house to her room, leaving her housemates to argue. She quickly walked inside, closing the door tightly behind her. The room was dark inside. She hadn't opened her thick curtains when she woke, and she didn't plan to do so. She flipped on a small lamp on her bedside table, then picked up a piece of paper that lay under it. She sat down on her bed and studied it a little. It was a list she'd received from the academy, of thing she was allowed to take with her. It was very short, mostly nessesities and a few items of clothing for casual wear as well as sleeping. Everything else was provided by the Academy.

She carefully sat the list down on her bed, atop the uniform she'd been sent. She knelt down and reached under her bed, pulling out a medium sized bag. She sat it on her bed as well, then proceeded to dig through her dresser, collecting anything she might need. By the time she'd finished, her room looked like a war zone and her bag was nearly overflowing with stuff.

She laughed a little at the mess she'd made, it was very unlike her to be so messy, but it amused her a moment before she moved on to her next task. She made her way back to her bed and stood in front of it, staring down at her uniform,

"I guess this is it…"

She quickly changed into it.

She turned toward the mirror to admire herself, she let out a small giggle as the excitement started to well up inside of her. She even spun around a couple of times to get a good look at it. The uniform was a bit big, covering her hands and feet, but she felt she could get used to that.

She turned away from the mirror to take one last look at her room and the life she was leaving behind. After a moment she pryed herself from her thoughts, picked up her bag, and left the room.

She made her way back to the main room, where Akira and Aoi continued their argument. She cleared her throat loudly and the two of them looked up. Akira's eyes widened,

"Wow, look at you."

She blushed a little, "Yeah…" she smiled, "I should probably get going now."

Aoi walked over to her and gave her a very tight hug,

"Don't let anyone give you crap, got it?"

"Uh…Yeah…Thanks Aoi"

She backed off a bit, "And remember, have fun!"

"Don't forget us when you're a bit, powerful Shinigami." Akira chimed in.

"I could never forget you guys." she said as she slid her shoes on.

She turned back to them and bowed,

"Thank you both. I hope I get to see you again someday."

She then turned and walked out the door. Akira and Aoi stood in the doorway waving at her, looking like proud parents sending their child off to school.
