This chapter is just for setup. It really is just here so you know how things are running in this fanfic. I don't want people think all I'm going to do is throw useless explanations at them it's only for this chapter. Also I love to think up stories, and I'm pretty good at it, but I hate actually sitting down and writing them so if I don't update a lot just shoot me an email blow up my inbox and just to get you guys to shut up I'll keep post another chapter.
CHAPTER ONE:
"Hello?" I looked around the strange sideways world to find no one but my own reflection in the glass I was standing on. "HELLO!" I yelled frantically to try and find another being, but all I heard was the wind carrying my voice to be no ears would find. I was alone. No I couldn't be alone. I turned around, there was no one there. I turned slowly full circle, no one. I spun around and around and around, desperately yelling, "Hello? Is anybody there? Hello?"
"Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?" I opened my eyes to see my slowly rotating fan above me, the sun shining through my open window, the sound of birds and cars and other people. It was just dream. I thought steading my dizzy mind. "Thank Kami, Ichi-nii you were having a bad dream, but its okay now." I looked to see my little sister Yuzu smiling happily at me. "Well, you better hurry up and go down stairs if you don't want to be late for school." Karin said leaning on my door frame. She turned and left with Yuzu following her as she closed the door behind her. I sighed, sitting up in my bed to look at the closet. It was just a dream. I thought again.
About 15 minutes later I was walking to school with my bag slung over my shoulder comfortably. I walked at a slow pace thinking of what my dream could have meant, it was as though I knew I was alone, but I wasn't supposed to be, like there was supposed to be someone there with me in that strange sideways world. Someone who could give answers to questions I have yet to ask, it was if that person hadn't arrived yet.
"Ichigo!" I heard a low rough voice call from behind me. I stopped and turned to find my good friend Chad walking up to meet me. "Good morning Chad." He just nodded, he never really talked much but I knew what he meant. A few moments later I heard a bubbly voice calling out to Chad and I. "Heyo! Sado-san, Kurisaki-kun!" Orihime was waving at us enthusiastically, dragging Tatsuki and Uryu was walking calmly behind the two girls. "Morning Orihime, Hey Tatsuki, Uryu." I said smiling, Tatsuki nodded and said hello, Uryu pushed his glasses higher onto the bridge of his nose and said, "don't address me so informally, Kurisaki." I scratched the back of my head, "wears Rukia?" I asked turning to Orihime, "she said she was getting a ride from Byakuya-dono." I nodded and we all walked together to school. It was a normal morning nothing big but I knew that before the day was out something HUGE was going to happen, and I knew it had to do with my weird dream.
Karakura Academy is very different from most schools. Yeah we have our normal clicks, but we also have actual gangs in our school 3 to be exact. There were the Hallows, you could tell who they were by the number tattoos that they all have, each one with a different number that showed there rankings. There are also the Soul Society, there were 13 main leaders called Goten 13 (or Captains as they like to be called), one of which goes to our school, you can tell who they are by their cloak like white jackets with their corresponding numbers on them in an old number form, and then people under them were Reapers, they can be seen wearing an armband with a wooden plank on it carved in it the Goten above them and then an actual number for their ranking. Then there are the Vizards, you could tell who they are by the masks they have strapped to side back or top of their heads, but outside of school they were actually on their face. Rukia's older brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, is a Goten 13, he's Captain of the 6th Goten (or division), and our math teacher. Rukia herself is a Reaper. She's under Captain Ukitake of the 13th division, she isn't placed.
We have a lot of other Reapers at my school, a few of the Goten 13 are teachers, but only one is still in High school, and that is Toshiro Hitsugya Captain of the 10th division. His 1st seated Reaper, Rangiku Matsumoto, is the girl's councilor at school. And then Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain of the 11th division, is the boy's P.E. teacher. His 1st seat Yachiru Kusajishi looks little but she is actually a junior. Also Kenpachi has his 3rd seat Ikkaku Madarame, he's in my sophomore class along with his boyfriend, yes boyfriend, Yumichika Ayasegawa is the 5th seat but only because he thinks that the #4 is ugly, whatever the hell that means. There is also Renji Abarai, he's in almost all of my classes, he's currently with Toshiro, and he's Byakuya's 1st seat. Our Head nurse is Captain of the 4th division, this division doesn't fight they mostly just are doctors and nurses, is Unohana Retsu.
Then there are the Hollow's. Of the three leaders of the Hollows, Gin Ichimaru, third in charge, is the only one that goes to our school. Tousen Kaname, 2nd in charge and blind is glued to the hip of the Hollows #1 leader Aizen Sousuke. Then of the top 10 Espada, what they call their highest ranking, there is, that we know of, Ulquiorra Schiffer – Espada 4, he goes to our school, Nnoitra Jiruga - Espada 5, who also goes to our school, Grimmjow Jeagerjacques - Espada 6, goes to our school, Zommari Leroux - Espada 7, he doesn't go to our school, Szayel Aporro Granz - Espada 8, he does, Aaroniero Arruruerie - Espada 9, he doesn't, and then Yammy(don't know his last name) - Espada 10, he doesn't. Now Gin, Grimmjow, and Ulquiorra are close, they've known each other the longest, so you fuck with one you fuck with them three, and maybe Nnoitra, if he feels like it.
The Vizards are pretty small but all extremely powerful. Only three go to our school the co-leaders Shinji Hirak and Hiyori Sarugaki, and the 2nd seat Lisa Yadomaru. Kensei Muguruma, 1st seat, goes to a different school along with his girlfriend Mashiro (I don't know her last name) 3rd seat. The other three are Hachigen Ushoda 4th seat, Rose 5th seat, and Love, 6th seat. Of course they have many followers in the Vizards but they have yet to earn their masks so they call themselves Viceds.
It was now lunch and the Hollows were making their way to the roof were they can smoke weed and talk about their latest bangs. The Soul Society was in the middle of the cafeteria talking about whatever they talk about. They're a bunch of goody two shoes for a gang they all get good grades and most haven't even killed anyone, beat the crap out of someone hell yeah but kill someone nope. And then there were the Visards in the corner talking to each other. Wait there was a new kid at the table. He was extremely pale with white hair. As if sensing my stare he looked to me on the clear other side of the room. He had bright yellow eyes surrounded by black. It was like he was the polar opposite of me, he smiled, or more of smirked, at me and licked his lips.
"That's Hichigo Shirosaki, he just moved here." Uryu said picking up a couple of french-fries and eating them. I looked back at Hichigo to find him still staring at me. I felt my face heat up and I turned to look at my food, I could feel his cat like eyes on me, searing through my skin. A shiver went down my spine. "Kurisaki-kun are you okay?" I heard Orihime asked from across the table. I just nodded. "Are you sure, you're a bit red there Berry-Boy!" I heard Tatsuki say with a bit of a giggle in her voice. I growled and got up saying I wasn't hungry and heading to the music room to blow off some steam.
HICHIGO PROF
"So, who da carrot top?" I asked truly puzzled how someone could look like me and yet look like sex on legs. I licked my lips, and he looked down at his lunch but I kept starring anywise. "Oh that's Ichigo Kurisaki, but I would stay away from him if I were you. Hollows, Soul Society, and The Visards all may be rivaling gangs, but we all have one thing in common." I raised an eyebrow but still continued to stare at the Berry, "Oh yeah, kukuku, what dat ne?" Shinji smiled his piano like smile and looked to Ichigo's now retreating back, "We all would die for that kid. He's saved our lives on multiple occasions and he's wanted buy all of us. Plus Renji Abarai, Sado Yasutora, and I are his best friends; we won't let anyone hurt him." I laughed I won't hurt him…much kukuku. "Well, where da Berry goin'?" Hiyori hit me I the face with her shoe, "Why the hell should we tell you!" I just smiled at her. "(Sigh) He's going to the music room. Don't let him see you or he'll kick your ass, and trust me, he can." I got up and when down the hallway I saw the Berry turn down.
As I approached the door that said music room p-31, I heard a piano softly playing a slow deep melody. I cracked the door open so I could peak inside and found him moving his fingers across the keys gracefully and slowly moving his body to the rhythm in a circular motion, his eyes lightly closed. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The sound went from a deep sound to a higher one and descended back again to slow down and end on a middle ground. He opened his eyes and looked down at his fingers. He pulled his bottom lip into his mount and chewed on it lightly, scrunching up his face as if deep in thought. A moment or two later he shook his head and sighed, closing the piano and getting to wander around the room looking at all the other instruments his bottom lip still captured between his teeth. I found myself licking my lips again. He sighed once more and crossed the room to grab his bag from on top of the piano. I hurried down the hall to hide in a crevasse between a wall and a drinking fountain. I heard the door open and slow footsteps retreat down the hall the way I had come from. I peeked around and saw his back and stepped out putting my hands in my pockets. I watched his retreating back go down a separate hallway that led away from the cafeteria. I smiled to myself liking to believe that he was afraid I was still in there.
ICHIGO'S PROF
I sighed as I sat down at my desk looking out the window. Who the hell was that guy? No, I can't think about him any more class is about to start. But he looked so dangerously sexy! What? No he just looked dangerous, someone I shouldn't mess with. Except in bed! No! I shook my head and growled at my own inner turmoil. I mean I don't even know this guy for fucks sake! The bell rang and Byakuya called for order, and everyone sat down quietly. He started to call for roll he was halfway through when the door opened up. Oh Kami, no! In came Hichigo Shirosaki! Should have known, this is not fair. "Ah, yes Headmaster Yamamoto said there would be a transfer student, well, introduce yourself, and then pick an open seat." He scanned the room with a grin but it grew impossibly wide when his yellow cat like eyes fell on me.
I bit my lip out of habit, and the fact that I was trying my hardest not to blush. "I'm Hichigo Shirosaki, mah name means strawberry, but ya better not call meh tha' I'm warnin' ya, I don' like it much." He said with a sinister smirk and before anyone could even react he waltz right to the back of the room and sat in the open seat next to mine. "Hey." He said his grin never leaving his face. "Hi." Was all I said, I didn't want to risk saying more and sounding like a moron. "Wha' ya name, kid?" I glared at him, "can't you speak proper Japanese?" I asked looking at the bridge of his nose, instead of those obsidian eyes. "This is how I talk, ya don' like it, ya can take it up with meh old man, now ya gunna answer mah question er no'?" I growled lowly in my chest. "….Ichigo Kurisaki." His grin, if possible, got even bigger, "looks like I'm not da only Berry." He said winking at me, I couldn't help the slight blush that spread its way from my neck to cheeks and all way to ears…okay maybe it wasn't a slight blush but more of a deep red.
"Kukuku, now you look like a Strawberry, ain't tha' cute'?" I felt the blush deepen but I was too angry to really notice. "Don't treat me like some chick! And don't call me Berry!" He just laughed, "but yr reactions are too cute ta do tha' Kukuku." I growled and turned away from him planning on ignoring him for the rest of the period. It worked for the most part, that is until we had free time to kill at the end of the hour. All I heard was giggling from the girls on how hot he was, and how he looked like me but talked and acted like Gin Ichimaru. Perfect, he's not even here for a whole day and these sluts already want to get into his pants.
I turned to see he was talking to Rukia Kuchiki, although she is a good friend of mine I don't feel bad to say she is the biggest slut in the school, though different from most sluts though it isn't to boost her self-esteem, she's a cocky bitch, it's so her older brother would show some god damn emotion to her, she could care less if its disappointment as long as he cares enough to look her way. Also with that I never really cared about her sex life, it was just too complicated to fallow, but suddenly all I wanted to do was intervene and tell her to fuck off. Of course I kept my mouth shut; I just bit my lip and watched her flirt with my Shirosaki! … Wait, what? No, he's not mine! I shook my head and looked out the window. Though I kept my ears strained to hear what was being said between the two.
"But, we could have so much fun together, Hichi-Sempei!" Rukia sounded flirtatious, using her voice in a way that had every man worshiping her feet. "Hn, I bet ya know esactly wha' ya doin' bu' I ain't inarested…" Hichigo sounded bored and completely unfazed. "Are you sure, Hichi-Sempei? I could show you things that I bet you don't even know about." And that was the line I was listening for, the one that got every man's pants past their hips, and their knee's on the floor. "Na, there ain't nothin' ya could show meh, tha' I don' already know, trust meh." The way he said to trust him had me shivering in my seat, and it wasn't even directed towards me. I bit my lip and turned towards the front, needing to move to cover the shiver that's still traveling down my spine.
"Hey, Berry!" I heard him call out to me. I suppressed another shudder at how baritone he set his voice at. Low and smooth, like silk running through warm water. I turned, and against my better judgment, looked him straight in the eyes. I knew I made a horrible error when I found myself not being able to look away. He smirked once more as though he knew of my inner turmoil, as though he was a predator who had just caught his prey, and in his eyes I could just see the thoughts forming in his mind. "Let's play!" I swallowed finding not only my mouth to be dry but a sort of lump had formed itself in the middle of my throat, "Y-yeah?" I said. Dammit don't stutter, you moron! "Why don' ya stay afta' whit meh?" I raised an eyebrow trying to ask him without words to elaborate, I did not feel like stuttering, especially whilst talking to a guy I had only just met! "I got detention, I don' wanna stay here alone, keep meh companeh!" This time it didn't sound like a question. I cleared my throat, "why should I stay after if you have detention?" I asked he shrugged, "I don' know, 'cause ya don' wan' meh to be lonely!" I sighed knowing I'd end up staying after anywise said, "Whatever, fine." The bell rang and we went our separate ways, for our final classes before school let out. The bell rang all to quickly for my liking.
