First fanfic! Reviews will help me on improving with a first like this.
I don't own Bleach.
OoOoOoOoO
Karakura town, Kurosaki Clinic
Carefully, so as to not make a sound, he tiptoed down the hall and to the door. He rested his hand on the doorknob, turned it, and then pushed the door open with a gentle creak. He walked over to the figure who was sleeping soundly in his bed and peered over him…
"ICHIGOOO!" the man shouted, his foot getting ready for a killer side kick to knock the wind out of the orange-haired teenager. But before he could release his awesome move, a different foot was already in his face, knocking him back out the door and sending him crashing into several different pieces of furniture.
"DAD! This is really getting old!" Ichigo yelled. "It's freaking six o' clock in the morning!"
"Your skills have improved greatly, my son!" Isshin Kurosaki shouted back while pushing himself out of what had once been a small table with a flower vase on it. "You make me proud!"
"Why do I bother," Ichigo growled, but his dad was already rushing downstairs to help Yuzu get breakfast ready.
"As long as you're up you might as well get ready for school," Rukia slid open the closet door, already fully dressed in her Karakura High school uniform.
"You heard all that!?"
"Of course, you and your dad are so loud, Ichigo. I've gotten used to it though," Rukia replied.
"You know Rukia, you could always stay in a hotel or something. It would be quiet and there would be a lot more room for you to sleep," Ichigo hefted his bag up onto one shoulder and put one hand on his doorknob. "This special group of hollows you were sent here to kill was sighted near the other side of town anyway."
"I'm used to staying here, Ichigo. It's nothing personal, your room is familiar to me, that's all," Rukia looked away. "If you want me to leave though, well, that's also fine, I don't want you to feel like I'm intruding." The room felt tense and silent for a moment except for the click of the doorknob and the door as it swung open.
"Whatever, Rukia," Ichigo moved on. "I don't really care either way. Now come on, we should eat breakfast and get moving."
"Fine then Ichi-"
"RUKIAAA!" an annoying voice interrupted, a yellow stuffy zooming out of the bedside table drawer, heading on a collision course for his sweet girl. Then SQUEAK! "Mmmf! Mfmmmf!" Kon's head was suddenly wedged between the floor and a girl's size brown shoe. A red knot pulsed in the corner of Rukia's head as she twisted her foot on Kon's face repeatedly.
"Give it up already Kon. It's pathetic after a while," Ichigo said. Then he had an afterthought and smirked. "But not as pathetic as Rukia's drawings when she tried to explain the attack plan for destroying those hollows last night."
"Don't criticize my drawings you imbecile! It was a good plan regardless!"
"Oh yeah? Well Chappy the Bunny dancing around the page didn't exactly paint a clear picture!" As the two continued to bicker, the atmosphere in Ichigo's room settled back to normal, all awkwardness erased. Sometimes it was just plain weird having a soul reaper in your closet.
OoOoOoOoO
Karakura Park
"Oh that orange one feels tasty, yesss, very tasty. His soul is so concentrated and full of spirit, I can feel it from this far away! Yesss, I want it."
"Shut up, you buffoon! You're far to much of a weakling to even have a the smallest chance at him!"
"But whyyy! I can get stronger you know! I am an arrancar after all!"
"Bah! In your dreams, idiot."
"Stop bickering you two, you're both weak. Only the Boss could handle someone like him."
"Oh you're absolutely right! The Boss is one of the most powerful out of all of our kind because he is-"
The three hollows hissed in unison, "-an espada."
OoOoOoOoO
Karakura High, Class 3-1
As Miss Ochi chattered on, Ichigo felt... boredom. All of these awesome adventures had been happening lately in the soul reaper world, and returning to normal, boring life was almost unbearable. Even the hollows were all small fry that popped up only once a week or so, and they usually got cleansed by the afro soul reaper (Emoyama?) in charge of Karakura town (he didn't have the skills for any bigger hollows anyway). The small group of challenging ones that Rukia was after were in hiding at the moment, so they didn't count until they showed themselves.
The rest of the gang, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu, weren't even bothered by the lack of action. They seemed perfectly happy living their lives and being normal high schoolers for the time being. Lost in these thoughts, Ichigo stared out the window, almost wishing for Rukia to say-
"Ichigo!" Rukia hissed at the exact same time his combat pass started blinking. Ichigo snapped back to reality. "There are three hollows with extremely high spiritual pressure near the park, and they're at arrancar level!"
The substitute soul reaper was never more happy to hear that the monsters needed killing. "Let's go then!" he followed Rukia outside, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu following close behind a moment later, having overheard what Rukia said in her loud whisper.
"We'll be right back!" Orihime paused to say to her teacher. "It's just… the bathroom! Yeah that's it!" she smiled and rushed out after her friends.
"Honestly those kids! What do they have that's so important they have to skip class like that?" the teacher exclaimed. "It's obviously more than just the bathroom, they've been doing this multiple times, and who goes together like that anyway!? Well, ignore them class. As I was saying, your project on literature is due by…" and Miss Ochi continued on with her announcement.
Only one high schooler was genuinely concerned and suspicious of the group of students who had just gone outside and were now running across the school's lawn. That high schooler made up her mind to follow them and find out where they were going, and also find out where they'd been going all the other times Orihime, Ichigo, Chad, Rukia, and Uryu had run out of class for "the bathroom". She was tired of just waiting around for an explanation, she was going to find one herself. Tatsuki didn't say a word as she dashed out after them.
OoOoOoOoO
This bottom part used to be another chapter, but I mushed the beginning chapters together because they were too short at first. If you see any reviews that don't seem to fit the chapter they're describing, that's the reason.
