For the first time in what felt like forever, he was a new student. The smell and warm air of California was a brand new feeling to him as he made his way down the sidewalk. It was warm when school started in Japan, but nothing like this. It took a little getting used to once they all first moved in to the small clinic Goat chin decided to open up, but still it was really nice.
"…And another thing you big ogre! The fact that you REFUSE to share a room with me tells me you have no regard for everything that I've done for you and the fact you're the main reason I'm stuck here in the first place!"
Well, some things change while others stay the same.
Sure, the fact that a 4'11 scrawny Japanese girl was berating a 6'2 scary ginger was shocking for some, but if you're asking Ichigo Kurosaki it was just a routine walk to school.
"I aint in the mood to fight about this midget." Ichigo growled at the shorter girl
And then the high jump kick to the back of the head came.
All Ichigo could hear while face down with a child sized shoe pinning him to the concrete was "if you hadn't have tried to play superhero." And "Stupid ginger strawberry face."
So this is the thanks he got for saving the stupid midget.
Sure she and Renji were banished. But at least they both had a place to stay! Renji sure didn't seem to mind and she was the one set to be executed!
"You're only bitching about that cause you have nothing else to complain about you little brat!" Ichigo finally yelled out before Rukia struck him down a second time, this time with her oversize backpack.
"Shut up strawberry dumbass!" Rukia yelled out as she slammed the bag into his back.
He missed the days when most of her mean streak was directed at hollows and not him and Renji.
"Rukia,come on don't beat on Kurosaki again…" Renji yelled out finally catching up to the two.
With embers in her eyes, Rukia turned to the red haired teen
"What was that ABARAI?" She asked sweetly, every word dripping with Venom
"N-Nothing , ma'am…" Renji cowered
As Rukia prepared to rain down a hail storm of fury on Ichigo a smooth voice came to greet them.
"Never seen a girl so small lay a beatdown like that since my high school girlfriend…"
As the three squabbling teens looked up, they saw a man with spiky jet black hair, smiling shyly down at them.
Rukia quickly decided to put on her sweetheart act for the older man.
"Ah I'm so sorry sir…you see my friends and I were only having a slight disagreement."
She chuckled as Ichigo and Renji looked on dumbfounded.
"I think slight could be the understatement of the year." The man chuckled back
Ichigo started to giggle as Rukia began to realize her façade wasn't fooling anybody.
Renji finally spoke up.
"You have any idea where Reefside high school is?"
Rukia and Ichigo both face palmed.
"We know where we're going dumbass."Ichigo muttered out.
"WE? You never told me where to go! I was scared and alone! I had no idea where I was!" Renji yelled
"You were the one that decided to wander off by yourself." Ichigo deadpanned.
"Yeah,who said we were supposed to babysit you deadbeat?" Rukia chimed in
"DEADBEAT? You were the one that slept in his closet for 3 months! Without anybody knowing I might add!" Renji screamed in defense as Ichigo and Rukia panicked to shut his mouth before the astounded man in front of them could hear.
"Don't listen to him." Ichigo said, trying to build some damage control.
"What the strawberry idiot said, don't listen to the scary homeless man with tattooes." Rukia said as Renji's eye twitched
"You kids are a weird bunch,oughta be fun having you in my first period." The man said with a smile.
"Wait how do you know our names!" Rukia said angrily.
"You all yelled them out when you were arguing." He said smartly
Ichigo pulled out his schedule from his front pocket
Oliver-homeroom & first period
"Well, it's nice to meet you ." Ichigo said extending his hand to the shorter man
"You too! Just call me Dr.O. makes me feel like an old man!" Tommy smiled
"Kiss ass." Renji muttered under his breath.
"Speaking of class you kids better hurry. The bell rings in five minutes and I heard the principals on the prowl." He said as the three teens sped off to god knows where.
Tommy just shook his head as he smiled and strode off to his first ever teaching job.
Today would be a good day, he was sure of it!
For Kira Ford the first day was usually like any other day. Sure every other idiot in school was jumping around the class catching up on what idiotic activities they were up to over the summer. But to her the only thing that mattered was her music. Every class was spent writing, critiquing, and rehearsing her music. After all, who needs high school? She was going to be a kick ass rock star. At least, that's what she told herself would happen. And if she told herself it would happen she'd make it happen dammit. She hummed the words to her new song, eager to play it to on the front lawn during break, whether 5 people showed up or 500 it didn't matter, as long as she got to play.
As she mused on she felt someone sit down next to her.
This was new.
She looked up to see a tall, slim Ginger boy sitting next to her.
His hair could not be that range without EXTRA strength hair dye.
"Hey, mind if I sit here?" He asked with a scowl.
"Sure, just stop looking so pissed. It's messing with my creative energy." She replied as she looked down at her notebook.
"What the hell? I can't help the way I look!" He yelled.
"So you can't help looking like you just mugged an old lady" She snapped back.
"I'd never mug an old lady!" Ichigo yelled.
"Never said you would. Just said ya looked like it. Plus your tattooed friend you walked in with doesn't help anything." The little rocker smartly retorted
Ichigo fell silent as he glared at the Renji from across the room.
"So that mean I win?" Kira said with a smile.
Ichigo grunted in response.
"By the way you can have the seat. You may be ugly but you're pretty entertaining." She said with an even bigger smile.
Sure he wasn't ugly. But Kira found it pretty fun to pick at the hot head.
She smiled to herself. Haha hot head.
Cause his hairs orange.
As she began to fall back into her own little world she began to hear the role being called.
As the teacher now known as Dr.O finally finished the role she decided to get back to her music.
Next song…Hot head. Haha it's perfect!
She was taken out of her zone however when she heard the shrill voice of the sudent council president
This would be a long year.
As the lunch bell finally rang Ichigo began to make his way up the stairs toward the roof. After all, if you want peace and quiet at any school, it was the roof.
As he turned the corner on the last flight of stairs he was met with the angry glare of the principal.
"Hey, can I help you…" Ichigo finally mutters out taking a couple feet back from the frightening woman.
"Why yes you may mister Kurosaki. Why are you carrying food in the stairwell?"
"It's against the rules to carry food up the stairs?" Ichigo muttered
"Why yes. Yes it is." She said almost gleefully as she pushed a small slip of paper into his chest.
"One weeks detention for you young man. Go directly to doctor Oliver's office after school." She stated as she slithered off to stumble on her next victim.
Ichigo couldn't help but stare at the slip hopelessly.
Detention for food in a stairwell, a brand new low for him.
Rukia was stumped.
If the damn strawberry would have waited for her instead of wandering off she wouldn't have to fool with this confounded contraption.
And god knows Renji couldn't open it.
This is when a thought struck her!
It's just like a box! A juice box!
As Rukia pierced the cardboard milk spurted all over the floor!
This is when a very frightening woman decided to make an appearance
"Ah… I see you're damaging school property. That's a week's detention you know?" She asked through a grin as she began to write out the slip.
"But ma'am! It was only an accident! I didn't mean…"
Before she could finish her sentence the taller woman place the slip on the toop of her head
" room. 3 o clock. Do not be late." She said as she strode off
Rest assured, Ichigo will pay.
