Chapter One

Ice

Yuki Snura was a girl of many flaws. Her face was hidden behind a bushy mane of blonde hair and large round glasses. She walked with pigeon-toed grace and carried at least twenty books wherever she went. This gave the effect that she might be an oversized monster.

She walked through the gates of her new school, nervously glancing from side to side. Karukura High is much larger then my old school…she thought…much larger…She gripped her school bag, and tugged at her hair. Where she was suppose to go?

A second later, she bumped into someone and fell down to the ground, her books slipping from her arms. "I am sorry!" She said to the girl she had bumped into. "I am really sorry!"

The girl was pretty, with long red hair and blue eyes. Yuki blushed a little. She wished she could be that pretty. "Hey, don't worry about it! I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going…" She noticed Yuki having trouble with her books. "Oh! Do you need help?"

"Um…no…it's okay…I got it…." Just as she said this however, all her books fell right out of her arms.

The girl bent down and ignoring Yuki's protests and picked up at least half of her books. "Why do you have all of these anyway?"

"Oh…I have a lot of…free time…" Yuki managed to choke out.

The girl raised her eyebrows but smiled. This new character was awfully shy! "My name is Orihime Inoue. What's yours?"

"Um…Yuki Snura…" She piped. She bent her head down low. "I am…kinda…well…not kinda…I am new…do you know where I am…suppose to go…for…registration?"

Orihime nodded. "Over in the front office I could take you if you want…"

"OI! Inoue!" Someone called from behind.

The two turned and Orihime squealed a good morning, whereas Yuki dropped all of her books to the ground. The boy who had greeted him was a tall and slender with fiery red hair and eyes she thought she could melt in.

The boy caught up with them and noticed who Orihime's was walking with. "Hey, you new here?"

Yuki could barely nod. She was shaking all over. Talking with the opposite sex always did this did her but still…she felt…a bit different toward with man…

He made her feel like ice.

"This is Yuki Snura…she new here." Orihime explained then leaned into Ichigo's ear and whispered. "She's super shy."

"I can tell…" Ichigo mumbled back, watching Yuki struggling with her books. He took pity on her and began to help, much to her surprise. "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki."

Yuki's eyes widen. "Oh…" She was turning a deep crimson. "What….a…lovely…name…" She stopped talking, all the color draining from her face. Why had she even said that?! She scrambled up the rest of her books , quickly dismissed herself and took off in the other direction.

Orihime and Ichigo exchanged looks of concern. "She was weird…" He smiled. "She forgot some of her books."

"Yeah…I hope she's okay…" Orihime bit her lip. "It seemed to me she was a bit lost…"

Yuki found herself behind one of the school buildings, completely out of breath. That had gone all wrong. She shouldn't have said that…now he was gunna think was completely mental! She sighed and flopped down onto the ground. She hated starting new schools and she also hated to look like a fool. Something she was really good at.

Okay…I took the reviewers advice and I redid the first chapter…was this a better attempt? Give me your thoughts.
