Chapter 1- Substitute Teacher

The sunlight had breached through the chappy the rabbit curtains and a small ray of light had descended upon a small raven- haired girl who was peacefully sleeping.

She fluttered her eyes open and slowly realized that she had just woken up. She got off her bed and headed for the bathroom. She looked at the mirror and was not impressed. Rukia was never a kind of person with vanity in her traits, but she never gave herself enough credit. She quickly brushed her teeth and went down the stairs.

"Good morning Nee- sama!" she said cheerfully with a smile etched across her face.

The man at the other end also bid her a good morning but did not look at her as he was busy preparing breakfast for the both of them.

These two individuals were the last remaining Kuchiki's, a family with a very wealthy past but due to an earthquake that had completely killed their family, but thankfully these two survived and were now living in a comfortable two bed apartment in a good neighbourhood in Karakura.

Rukia sat down on her chair and Byakuya served her eggs and bacon which smelled heavenly, Byakuya took his seat as well with a newspaper in hand and poured himself some no- pulp orange juice.

"Did you sleep well, Rukia?" asked the handsome man.

"Yup. I did Nee-sama" replied Rukia. " I really have to go or I'll be late again!"

"Finish your breakfast first" suggested Byakuya.

The raven-haired girl took the entire piece of bacon and shoved it inside her mouth, hastily took a swig of orange juice and ran for the door. "See ya later Nee-sama!" as she bid him farewell.

"Be careful and don't let your teach…" Byakuya could not finish his sentence as the door slammed loudly behind her. Byakuya's eybrow twitched in annoyance as he said, "That kid will never learn."

The school bell rang and Rukia made it just in time to be greeted by her her friends, well she only had two.

"Good morning Rukia!" said Renji with a grin.

"You're not late this time!" said Tatsuki with a slightly surprised face.

"I'm in a really good mood today! I don't know why." Said Rukia as she took her seat and prepared for her class.

Little did she know that today was the day that she would meet that one person that would change her life forever.

The principal walked inside the classroom. Everyone was taken a back and stood up to greet their principal.

"Please sit down" said the short bald man.

"What does he want? Something must be up." Whispered Tatsuki to Rukia.

"I have an announcement to make children. As you might know your teacher Mrs. Ochi has left the school on maternal leave. So I took it as a challenge to find the best teacher to fill in her big shoes. It didn't take me long but I recruited a college student who is looking for some extra credit."

The class was a little surprised by this but they accepted it.

"A college dude?" Renji thought to himself.

"Don't underestimate him though, he is one of the brightest students in his college and I wish for you children to respect him and welcome him in this class, you may come in Mr. Kurosaki."

The class stared as a tall man with such bright hair it would blind you. He was wearing a green cardigan and jeans and looked very modern and hip.

Rukia looked at the man, she felt this strange crunch in her heart and smiled for no apparent reason, she felt weird, she was not used to this feeling at all.

" Good morning guys!" said the tall man with enthusiasm , "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo and I will be your class teacher until Mrs. Ochi comes back. Hopefully you will welcome me and I'm really excited to teach you guys."

"But you're so young!" inquired a jumpy Keigo.

"Don't let that fool you" said Ichigo, " I may not look it but I do have some experience.

"Okay so I'll leave It to you Kurosaki" said the principal as he left the room.

Rukia was still staring at him, as the orange-haired man continued.

"Please don't mind but I really have a horrible time remembering names, but I'll get the hang of it don't worry." Said Ichigo whilst going to to the attendance sheet to take the attendance.

"Abarai Renji"

"Present"

"Kuchiki Rukia" said the new teacher. "Kuchiki Rukia!" he said again.

Rukia was too busy just staring at him, but she came out of her trance when he called her name for the second. "Uhh.. Present!" Rukia said raising a hand.

As he ticked the attendance sheet he smiled a little at Rukia, and just by that Rukia felt a blush coming and quickly hid her face on her desk.

Ichigo Kurosaki then took the class with a lot freedom and joy. The whole class liked his aura from the beginning and was very responsive to his boring physics lecture.

DING DONG!

"Oh that's the bell, okay you guys pack up and I'll see you tomorrow" he said and he quickly left the class.

Rukia got up and went to the cafeteria with her two friends.

"I think that guy is really cool" Tatsuki said

"Yeah me too." Rukia agreed with her bestfriend.

"I really don't see what the big deal is." Renji said with a smug face.

"That's because you're an ape." Said Rukia with no emotions, "Yup" agreed Tatsuki.

"Shut the hell up Kuchiki!" yelled Renji as they sat down and ate their lunch.

Rukia bid both of her friends farewell as she walked towards her building. She walked with an earphone plugged in her ears and nodded her head to the sweet melody of Radiohead.

Suddenly she felt a strong arm grab her wrist and pull her back. She was shocked to see that two old men were staring at her with an evil grin.

"Aren't you just a doll" said the first man with slimy smile.

Rukia was really scared now. "Let go of me!" she yelled and yanked her hand out of his grasp.

The second man took the opportunity to smack her face with full force. She fell to ground like a rag doll and tried to crawl away. But then the man pulled her up and held her hair.

"Owww" was all Rukia could muster.

"Shut up!" said the cruel man, "We're gonna have fun tonight!"

Just as they were about to take her away, a man punched the predator with extreme force, his jaw was completely crushed as he faltered to the ground. The second man backed away and yelled, "Who the fuck are you!"

Rukia stool still and her eyes opened with pure shock, she knew the man who was saving her,

"KUROSAKI-SENSEI!" She yelled. She was right, it was Kurosaki, he stood there as the wind moved his bright hair. He was glaring at the second man, this glare was instilling incredible fear at the heart of the second man. And with that he held the back of the man's head and drove it against his knee cap. Instantly crushing his nose and spilling blood.

All Rukia managed to do was stare in awe at her savior.
