Bleach: Byukuya x Kaoru

Chapter One: Guardian Angel!

Kaoru Myusaki was sitting in her class at Karakura High-School. The day had been going rather slow for her taste. The worst part about it was that it was Friday! Fridays aren't supposed to be dreadfully boring. Kaoru turned to the whisper of her friend behind her.

"Pssst, Kaoru", whispered her friend in a rather demanding tone, urging Kaoru to immediately turn her back on the teacher just to look at her friend, Leslie. Leslie was a foreign exchange student from the Americas and she was quite the loud one.

Kaoru turned and smiled kindly, wondering what was so important.

"Did you hear about Chad?" asked Leslie, her big eyes sparkled and a broad smile played on her lips.

Kaoru flashed a quick glance at the teacher in the front of the room who was writing something on the blackboard only to see if he wasn't going to turn around and catch the two girls talking. Kaoru refused to serve lunch detention again! Last time, she got in trouble because she had screamed in the middle of class, insisting there was a man attired in a kimono out in the field. Everyone looked at her as if she were mad and the teacher gave her a detention just to shut her up.

"No, what about Chad?" asked Kaoru. She tried to act as if she were interested but in all honesty she didn't care about Chad or his annoying friend with the orange hair, Ichigo Kurosaki. She hated Ichigo more because it was so evident at how much Inoue admired Ichigo and yet he paid no attention to the girl whom all the other girls wished they were.

"There's a picture of him online without a shirt and oh my goodness, I'm weak for him", Leslie exhaled dreamily and began doodling in her notebook.

Kaoru rolled her eyes at the boy-crazy Leslie and sat upright on her desk, pretending she knew what the teacher was talking about. Kaoru flipped open her notebook and it was there in that very moment she felt something tug onto her very soul. The inside of her was shaking, but on the outside she remained calm. With wide eyes of mild trepidation she turned her neck slowly to glance at the window next to her.

The other students were oblivious to it, but Kaoru wasn't. A large shadow cast over and her entire class. The teacher had stopped lecturing and fixed his glasses. He shrugged at the fact that the room had darkened and blamed it on a cloud that was covering the sun. The thing was…

It was a clear and sunny day. There were no clouds in the sky.

Beads of sweat began to appear on Kaoru's forehead as she gazed at the red eyes of the behemoth that was outside of her window. It had the body of a frog but its head was covered by a white mask made out of bone. The monster was stationery on the window, holding himself onto the building vertically by its pasty toes.

Kaoru swallowed in fear and brushed a stray strand of her violet hair behind her ear with a trembling hand. She was about to ask if she may go to the restroom when the unexpected occurred. The frog-like beast on the window split in two. The two pieces broke in the air and dissipated into a strange black dust. A warm breeze swept the dust away and the same man that Kaoru saw a week ago wearing a kimono in the field was standing out by the window in front of the class. This strange, alluring man surely wasn't of this world if he was balanced in mid-air in front of one fifth floor windows.

This mystical man that was hovering in front of the class, defying all laws of physic as if he were some god took Kaoru's breath away. His eyes were a dull, yet exciting gray while his black hair was held by a strange headpiece. He wore a kimono and over that kimono he wore a strange garb of some sort that featured a high collar with golden edges and light golden tassels hanging from the collar. When Kaoru noticed the man's existence, he disappeared in a flash, almost as if he didn't want to be seen by the beautiful girl.

The entire class's attention was fixed on Kaoru who was still looking out the window with wide eyes full of awe. The teacher cleared his throat and Kaoru jumped up in her desk and saw that everyone was looking at her, wondering what the hell was she looking at. Kaoru pursed her lips and picked up her cute pink pen and smiled nonchalantly, hoping everyone would avert their annoyingly curious eyes from her.

Kaoru's eyes dropped to her notebook and she began sketching the angelic man. He was going to haunt her dreams and her thoughts every waking minute now. She wanted to see him again! If he's part of the supernatural, there has to be a way to call him forth. The supernatural…

Kaoru tightened her grip on her pink pen and drifted off once again. She was sure no one else saw what she witnessed. Only she saw the beast and the man. But why her?

Back in the Soul Society, the doors of the Senkaimon opened at the Kuchiki residence. The broad line of light narrowed as the Senkaimon closed and the Shinigami Captain of the 6th Division stepped into his room. His heart was pounding a bit in the center of his chest and he exhaled with pursed lips. That girl…she clearly saw him. So it was true what the reports say about her. Her Spiritual Pressure was surely strong, but that Hollow he vanquished was the second one in less than two hours that was in close proximity of Kaoru. Could it be possible that that many Hollows thirsted for her blood or was there more to this? What exactly has Yamamoto exactly put him against?
