Title: Phenomena
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Urahara Kisuke glanced at the old picture frame, containing a picture of him and an old friend of his, Kaien Cross. He sighed, blonde hair and green and white striped hat hiding his eyes from the view of others, "I wonder how that Vampire-Human high school of yours is going?" He remembered when Kaien first came to him with the idea, and how he scoffed at the bespectacled man. "I'm surprised that Cross Academy's still standing."
Kaien Cross stared out the window, watching the rain. Contrary to the beliefs of his "adopted children" Yuki and Zero, he could be quite serious when he wanted to be and cared for them both deeply. Now that Shizuka Hio, the vampire who had bitten Zero was dead his fate seemed certain. The rain reminded him of an old friend, one who he had fought with before starting his school. "Kisuke," he sighed, "Maybe you can change his fate." He picked up the phone and dialled.
"Hello," a voice answered.
"Urahara," Kaien stated, "It's me Kaien, and I know that we left off at a fight, but I was wondering..."
"What do you want?" Urahara smirked into the phone, "Vampire repellent, they going amok now?"
"It's complicated; do you think a human vampire could ever become a soul reaper?" Kaien asked.
Urahara's eyes widened on the other end of the phone, "Why?"
"It's a long story," Kaien sighed.
"Well, I know of some people that may be able to help you," Urahara said, thinking of a certain orange-haired soul reaper.
Urahara Kisuke sighed; he knew that dropping the news on Ichigo and the three demons that joined them that there would be negative consequences. One of them, Akasha, glared angrily at him. "What on bloody earth are you talking about?"
"I'm being serious," Urahara said.
The amber eyed demon continued to glare at the blonde shop keeper as if he were some sort of disease, "You really expect me to believe this shit about vampires!"
Ichigo Kurosaki chose this time to join in, "Is this going to be like the bounto all over again?"
"No, and Akasha, Miyuki, Morubi," Urahara addressed the three demons, "How do you think we felt when you three came up suddenly claiming that you were demons?"
"He has a point," Miyuki sighed, her long silver fringe falling into her eyes.
"Rah!" Morubi growled, green eyes wide as she sucked on Miyuki's head.
"Akasha, can you get this thing off me?" Miyuki asked.
"Okay," the purple haired demon groaned, "But you need to buy your own Morubi-repellent." She pulled out an aerosol can labelled Morubi-OFF!! and sprayed the brunette demon. Morubi swayed slightly before collapsing on the tatami mat.
"Sankyuu!" Miyuki grinned.
"Wait, why am I going?" Ichigo asked, his face in its ever-permanent scowl.
"There's a boy at Cross Academy. His name is Zero Kiryu and he'd been bitten by a pure-blood vampire," Urahara explained, "His mental state is rapidly deteriorating and he may lose his mind and become literal blood-drinking monster."
"What does that have to do with us?" Miyuki asked.
"His...adoptive father-of-sorts would like to see if maybe by becoming like Ichigo he may be saved," Urahara sighed.
"But vampire souls have a different spirit energy make-up to human souls," Miyuki pointed out, "That could potentially make the situation much worse."
"I suppose we'll have to see about that," Urahara stated blankly.
Kaien Cross watched the exchange of Day Class to Night Class from his office. Under oath he had sworn not to tell of the existence of soul reapers or demons, hell, he didn't even know of the existence of demons until he called Urahara. Neither was he allowed to tell the Night Class. He chuckled, imagining the uproar that it would cause not only to the Council of Elders but also the Hunter Society. "Oh," he gasped, seeing a car with tinted windows pull in to the school, "They're here already."
Out of the car stepped Urahara, dressed in a formal suit, for the purposes of blending in. "Wait," a girl with brown hair yelled, "If you're here to enrol into Cross Academy you have to go to the Headmaster's office."
"I'm sure we don't have to go there if arrangements have already been made," Akasha smirked, coming out of the car in the uniform of the Night Class.
"Oh," she gasped, "Well I'm Yuki Cross and I'm a school councillor. You should come this way," she gestured towards the other members of the Night Class. One of them, Kaname Kuran, frowned, even though his brown eyes gave no thoughts away, 'I've never heard of this vampire before...if she even is a vampire.'
The other occupants of the car came out, though they were dressed in the uniform of the Day Class. Although for students in the Day Class they certainly stood out. The Day Class started to mutter among themselves.
"Whoa! Check out orange-head."
"Yeah, you think that he can take on Kuran."
"Look at that girl's hair too!"
"Maybe they're part of a gang or something and that's why their hair's bleached."
Aforementioned silver-haired girl snarled angrily at the gossiping Day Class, "The name's Miyuki Hayazaki and this is my freakin' natural hair color!!!!"
Kaien Cross took this as an opportunity to welcome the newcomers. "Welcome to Cross Academy students, I'm Kaien Cross and I'm the chairman of the school," he then turned to Urahara, "It's been awhile hasn't it."
The blonde nodded in affirmation.
Ichigo stepped forward, "So basically we don't even have class?"
Kaien smiled, "Yes, pretty much."
The orange haired boy growled, "DAMMIT MORUBI!! I TOLD YOU WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WEAR THESE STUPID UNIFORMS!!!"
Morubi smiled back at him, green eyes twinkling, "But don't you think these uniforms are cute?"
Miyuki sighed. "Fine, listen, we just got here and are kinda lost, do you mind helping us out a bit?" she asked Yuki and a silver haired boy wearing the councillor insignia on his arm.
Yuki turned to Chairman Cross, "Where are they staying?"
Kaien replied, "Well Ichigo will be rooming with Kiryu, Morubi and Miyuki are sharing that empty room in the Sun Dormitory and Akasha will be sharing with Seiren."
As soon as the Day Class filed in to the Sun Dormitory only Ichigo, Morubi and Miyuki were left. "Come on, I'll show you to your room," Zero mumbled.
"Okay," Ichigo replied, following the silvernette.
Yuki smiled to the other two, "I guess I'll just quickly show you to your room."
"So what's the deal with the Night Class?" Miyuki asked blankly.
"Err...well," Yuki wasn't sure how to answer that question.
"Sleeping in the day, going to classes at night, it's very vampire-like if you ask me," Miyuki hinted.
Yuki halted in front of the Sun Dormitory, "How much do you know?"
"We know everything," Morubi smiled, "So…need any help with councillor duty?"
Miyuki whacked Morubi upside the head, "Not now."
"Ah," Yuki started before Miyuki placed a finger on her mouth.
"There'll be time for explanations later," she stated, grabbing Morubi and taking her inside, "Well, you can get back to your job, we'll show ourselves around."
It was surprisingly quiet in the Night Class, especially with the arrival of a newcomer. They definitely hadn't heard of any aristocrat family under the name of Kaidashi, and she definitely wasn't a pure-blood. Akasha chuckled to herself, "Some things are just for me to know and you lot to find out."
"So how did you end up in this class?" Ruka asked, "I will admit though, that you're obviously not human."
"And so the score stands, Akasha-1, Night Class-1," she smirked. Akasha was actually quite disappointed to not feel any reiatsu from the school apart from that of Ichigo, Miyuki and Morubi, she was quite disappointed. "Heh, maybe that Aido guy would be fun to pick on,' she thought, 'Just to pass the boredom.
Ichigo Kurosaki had been pacing around the dormitory room since Zero left, the only reiatsu he could feel was Akasha's, Miyuki's and Morubi's. 'Strange,' he thought, 'You'd think that these vampires might be closely related to the bounto, but with this lack of reiatsu I'm starting to doubt it.' He tried to focus, see if there really was no other foreign reiatsu, until he did come across some. "Arrancar," he gasped, "Akasha!"
Miyuki and Morubi both felt the foreign reiatsu as well and were on their way back to the campus. "It's finally time for some excitement Morubi," Miyuki smirked, exiting the gigai.
"Yep yep yep," Morubi grinned.
As soon as Akasha felt the reiatsu above the classroom she instantly became uneasy. "Grimmjaw," she muttered under her breath, she summoned her zanpakuto under the desk, ignoring the pain caused by the seal on her powers. It was coming closer; she could also feel Ichigo, Morubi and Miyuki as well. 'What are they doing?!' she thought frantically, standing up straight in her seat, gripping her zanpakuto.
"HEY!" Ruka screamed, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Run!" Akasha hissed, tightening her grip on her zanpakuto.
"Why?" Ruka said defiantly.
"JUST RUN DAMMIT!" Akasha yelled.
The roof of the classroom tore away, revealing a man with blue hair and a bone mask surrounding the right side of his jaw, although only Akasha could see him.
"What's going on?" Akatsuki asked suspiciously.
Morubi and Miyuki arrived first, but only Akasha could see them. Miyuki cast the kido to unlock any hidden reiatsu that might be within the vampires and hoped that it would be strong enough to reach Zero and Yuki who were running over, "Oh kami-sama, let all hidden powers reveal themselves and those that are blind may now see."
They were surprised to see Ichigo, Miyuki and Morubi in their standard black and white kimono uniforms. "What the hell's going on here?!" Zero yelled as he and Yuki arrived to check out the commotion.
"Che, really, this school is all talk and no bite," Grimmjaw smirked.
Miyuki glared at the blue haired man, "Sing to the heavens, Arashi-Hime!!"
"What are you all?" Aido gasped.
A/N: A cliffie!!! And for all KanameYuki fans be disappointed, this will have ZeroYuki!!!! Mwahahahahahaha!!!!
