Pilot Chapter
Chapter 1- What we're all about/ Rukia's Predicament
As everyone is fully aware of, every high school has one of them. You know, the group of friends that everyone wished they had-the group of girls that walked as if they owned the place and talked with the utmost authority. And the group of guys that were the best at almost every sport and had all the girls drooling over them.
Yeah, you know the type. However, there was a certain something very different about this particular group.
They had brains.
As the spacious halls of the private institute of Karakura High School started filling up with the usual morning chatter, the masses parted as the very representation of one of these groups came walking through, laughing and talking above all the others. The guys.
(Insert here background music from The Replacements)
These guys have been best friends since they were 10 years old. They all met in a small, private kendo doujo were their parents put them so they could socialize and hopefully release all the pent up anger and excess energy. And it worked, well, at least the socializing part. They became best friends at first spar.
Abarai Renji is the restless, redhead, impulsive one. He's sort of the ring leader of the group, though nobody really talks to him besides his friends. Nobody even dares to talk about him, since he always seems angry. The few times people have seen him smile are either when he's stuffing his face or when he's beating someone up.
Ikkaku Madarame is a bald headed teen who does not like to be referred as bald. Rumor has it that he ran after a kid for about a week because of that reference, and when he finally caught the kid, he killed him. Of course, it was just a silly rumor…
Arisagua Yumichika is the very appearance-driven one of the group. When younger, his friends actually thought he was a flaming homosexual, but once they hit high school, he started getting more girls than any of them. Ikkaku and his father work together as engineers in a company, so they know each other from birth, practically.
Hisagi Shuuhei is a tattooed faced, ruthless joker. Always pranking and making jokes, his ass has been in the verge of being handed to him several times, but his friends are always on time…to beat him up afterwards.
Izuru Kira is the shy one. Very reserved and to himself, never really speaks unless it's necessary. He always has a smile on his face and tends to stay behind when it comes to fights or discussions.
Ishida Uryuu is the cool guy. Adjusting his forever-slipping glasses, his face is always poker straight and cold, something his friends always crack on him for. Out of all the guys, he's the only one in a steady relationship…with a cheerleader. Yeah, the guys jaws dropped too.
And last but not least, Yasutora Chad. He is the tallest one of them all. If it weren't for Chad, most of the guys (namely Renji, Ikkaku and Shuuhei), would've been in some serious trouble. His incredible strength and his imposing presence have helped them out of very tight spots.
The guys always stick together and always seem to be planning get-togethers and parties, but none of it would really work out (that includes their popularity) if it weren't for the girls
(Insert Lumidee's "Uh-oh")
These girls have no reservations as to who they are and the things they do or say. Like the boys, they met when they were 10 on a ballet studio above the kendo doujo. Eventually, after becoming friends with the guys, they ditched ballet and joined the doujo.
Matsumoto Rangiku is a beautiful, strawberry-blonde haired girl. Witty and quick-tongued, she causes many boys (and several girls) to droll over her steps. Why? Because of the pair of, very natural, 'physical assets' the Lord provided her. She's captain of the cheerleading squad and the main reason people in the high school love sports.
Arisawa Tatsuki is definitely a guys girl. She eats, drinks and burps like a guy. Fights like guy and sometimes even spits like a guy. She definitely doesn't look like a guy though. Her style might be slightly tomboyish, with her short raven hair, but her womanly figure still shows.
Inoue Orihime has to be the second best reason as to why people love sports in this school. Body like a Greek goddess and hair like an orange sunset, Orihime caused many men pleasure they day she decided to jump around in the cheerleaders skimpy uniform and wave around her pom-poms, her 'assets' jumping along with her. She also caused many men grief the day she decided to say 'yes' to Ishida Uryuu.
Kuchiki Momo is the only girl that's in the group but isn't in the same grade, being a year younger. The reason she's in the group at all is because of her older sister. Sweet smile, innocent eyes, and gracious matters, Momo is the epitome of how a young lady is supposed to act.
This leaves us with the girl that started everything. The girl that has the whole school down on their knees, begging for her mercy.
Kuchiki Rukia
The Karakura High School Queen Bee. A title rightfully earned since her freshman year when she smacked a senior girl across the face for disrespecting her. Rukia may not have the physical attributes her friends have, but her mysterious air and her confident attitude attract everyone to her. Then there are those eyes.
Deep violet orbs that have more personality than an Alannis Morissete song. More fire than Jimmy Hendrix himself. One of her glares actually caused several girls to cry and whimper in fear at a classroom meeting. Her walk is confident and her speech is clear and sharp, causing everyone to bend to her will. Her left eyebrow is forever cocked up and sarcasm seeps from her mouth like air.
Of course, some people call her an arrogant bitch…They may be right…who cares.
So all these kids came together when 10-year-old Rukia left her ballet class on the second floor to go to her locker, and was distracted by the voices coming from one of the classrooms. Peeking an eye through the open door, and she found the most intriguing thing she had ever seen.
Swords.
Straightening up and taking a deep breath, she walked into the classroom and went up to a 10-year-old Renji, who was massaging his feet distractedly
"Can girls fight too?"-she asked, her eyebrow rose.
Renji frowned. He was about to laugh when he caught the girl eyes glaring at him in the most horrific way, daring him to even chuckle. He gulped nervously
"Uh…yeah, I suppose"-
The girl smiled and darted out of the room, returning minutes later with three other girls. Momo, being Momo, stayed in the ballet class.
And the rest, as they say, is history. They've been together through thick and thin. Through the good times and the bad.
Rukia sat on her usual desk in the middle of the classroom, pondering all these things. Yes, her and her friends have been together for many years, and they knew each other front and back, so why was it that they couldn't help Rukia get a serious relationship. All the guys she's dated were either jerks or preppy rich kids her parents hooked her up with.
Rangiku would always say she needed to loosen up more. Orihime would advise her to cook for them, though she wasn't one to give cooking advises. Tatsuki would give her the best advice, which was 'always be yourself'. Unfortunately "herself", intimidated guys a little too much.
Rukia let out a frustrated breath, the strand of dark hair moving slightly away from her eyes. It wasn't like she was in dire need of a boyfriend, but her instability with the opposite sex was really bothering her.
Little did she know that, in a few minutes, her whole world would tilt to the side as a new student was standing in front of the classroom door, waiting to be introduced to what was going to be the most interesting year that school has ever witnessed.
So, as the title says, this is a pilot. Something that I just needed to get out of my system. The plot bunnies, a deadly organization who's purpose is to drive your thoughts away from work or school in order to produce stories of fictional characters, have taken residence in my head and don't seem to wanna leave...help(whimper)
Anyways, had lots of fun writting this. If you guys liked it please review and let me know. I don't promise I'll be updating soon, since I have a ton of work to do, and I'm still not done with 'Chronicles', so...But please review and tel me what you guys think...
Thanks!!!
