Chapter 1: Who?
Welcome to my first story people. The names Areoblue and this is a story about Chad and my OC for Bleach, Kaida.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, or anything to do with or is included in Bleach that resides in this story.
Hey. My name is Kaida Tonoshi. I am fifteen years old and enroll in Karakura High. I have short brown hair, green eyes, and a random personality; I'm serious, but I don't feel like explaining. So, despite my laziness, I'll let you read this.
---Karakura High---
Rukia, Orihime, Keigo, Mizuiro, and Chad all sat in the classroom watching Ichigo and Tatsuki butt heads as usual. All was normal before school until something, or, someone, caught Chad's attention.
-Kaida p.o.v.-
"Damn." I muttered under my breath as I walked into the room. Mitsuyo…He forgot to wake me up this morning. Thank god I have a natural conditioning to get up in time, but I was still mad.
Sauntering over to my desk, I loosen the grasp on my books. To be honest, they made a decent thud on the desk surface, I just wish everyone wasn't staring at me. After they turned back around, I sat, sparing a glance at all the students in the room to find that someone was still looking back at me. What's his name? Chad, I think. We held our gaze for about a minute before I couldn't take it anymore. I had to admit, he was the hottest thing I've ever seen, but my face was starting to blush, and I don't want to make myself look like an idiot in front of him.
Briiiiinnnggg!!! The bell rang and school was ready to start.
About ten minutes into her class, Kaida had been staring out the window as she always did. She was an absentminded child, but still managed to have the best grades in the class, other than Uryuu, that is.
The teacher finally noticed her student's air headedness. "Kaida!"
The girl merely turned to her teacher. "Yes, Sensei?"
"Are you paying attention?"
"Yes, Sensei."
"Really?" The teacher scoffed sarcastically. "Then tell me what I have been talking about for the past five minutes."
Kaida stirred, ready to respond. "Yes, Sensei. You began with your lecture on the literature we have been reading in class, then trailed off about your favorite Japanese poet. Also, it's been ten minutes, not five."
Everyone stared at their classmate in surprise at her attentiveness. They eventually turned back to listen in on the lecture.
-Kaida p.o.v.-
I hate it when they stare at me. What did I do? Am I a freak to them? Most everyone turned back to the lecture except for him. He was the only one to hesitate before twisting back, but why?
The school day had ended, but six people still lingered in the room.
-Kaida p.o.v.-
I sighed, realizing I had to get home. I must have lost focus of the bell when I was doodling. Gathering my things, I decided to call it a day and go home. Ichigo, Rukia, Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chad were still hanging around the room, talking. It must be nice to have friends like that. I left before I could drown myself in depression and anger.
Chad noticed the girl leaving the room, watching her until she disappeared. "…"
"Kaida Tonoshi."
He turned to Orihime who was smiling back at him. "Huh?"
"Her name is Kaida Tonoshi. Maybe you should go talk to her Chad." She apparently had taken notice of the fact that he couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Yeah Chad! You've been staring at her all day!" Ichigo joined into the conversation, poking fun at his friend. "You must really like her!" he teased, only to get elbowed by Rukia in the stomach.
The slight jab had caused the two to start yelling at each other. By then, Chad was already gone.
--Out on the street—
-Kaida p.o.v.-
Today was just kinda stupid. I hated getting mad, but I have a short temper at these kinds of things. Like I said, I have a random personality.
I made my way to a corner of an intersection near the Karasu river when I could sense someone following me. Then again, I was probably paranoid and whoever was behind me might just be walking home. Whatever… I began to let my mind wander. I tend to do that a lot too. I just couldn't stop thinking about Chad. Why had he been staring at me today? He couldn't possibly...never mind. The crosswalk light finally flashed 'Walk' and I began to make my way across, not being able to stop pondering about everything.
Atop the traffic light post, sat an oddly shaped, orange monster. Its malicious yellow eyes stared out from the white mask covering its face. The beast's sharp-looking tail swayed behind it as it watched the girl below.
"Time to have some fun."
Its monstrous tail suddenly plunged into the traffic light post, sending surges of electricity into it. The light that had said 'walk' now opposed itself, saying 'don't walk' instead. The opposite light directing the traffic horizontally, had turned green.
The gruff, largely sized man driving a semi truck was staring at the light intently.
"C'mon now, turn green. Boss is going to kill me if I don't get in on time, and I'm late enough as it is." He practically shouted at the light. To his luck, the light responded. The man smirked, now beginning to punch the gas a little, not noticing the girl in the crosswalk.
-Kaida p.o.v.-
I would have just kept on thinking to myself then and there if I hadn't heard the horn blaring from the semi that looked as if it couldn't stop.
"CRAP!" I froze. No matter what I did, my body became incapable of moving. I was going to die. My eyes closed shut tightly as I braced myself for impact. Instead, I felt as if I was scooped up bridal style and rushed out of the way.
Whoever was carrying me must have lost balance or something because I could feel us sliding down the slanted part of ground to the edge of the river. Finally deciding to open my eyes, I found Chad, cradling me closely to his muscular frame. My face instantly turned as red as a tomato in one second flat.
"Ch-…Chad?" I called out silently.
A pause. Jeez, people were right when they said he wasn't much of a talker.
"Hey…are you… alright?" He asked slowly.
I tried my best to settle the blush and hold it back, but with little avail, I simply nodded. "Y-yes, thanks a lot."
"It…was nothing." Was all he replied while he set me down in the grass. He had sat down next to me.
We both were still, watching the water flow by in the river. "Nice day, huh?" I asked happily, realizing how cheesy of a conversation starter that was, reaching into my bag for my sketchbook.
"Hm." Said the man of certainly few words.
I reached for my colored pencils and began scribbling. "So…you're Yatsutora Sado, right?" I asked again. That was a dumb question. Of course I knew who he was.
He nodded. "Chad."
I smiled, still scribbling. "Right, right. Well, I'm Kaida Tonoshi. It's nice to meet you, Chad." I caught a quick glance at him, still staring out at the water. A faint smile had only just touched his lips before disappearing. "There!" I looked back down to my now finished work. It was just a simple colored sketch of the river. It was actually not bad, to my surprise. I was pretty satisfied with the highlighting and shading I did.
"Wow…you're pretty good." Chad complimented, apparently eyeing my work over my shoulder.
I blushed. "Thanks." Flipping the sketchbook shut, I tucked it safely away into my bag. After setting it aside, my right hand returned to its rightful place on the ground to support my upper body in sitting up, instead finding Chad's hand resting there. Our hands touched for a moment before we both retracted them. Crap.
"Sorry…" I sort of muttered.
"…" You know, Chad, silence kinda makes the moment worse.
After a while, I decided to get home before Mitsuyo skinned me alive for missing dinner. I stood, politely thanking him once again for saving my life, only to get a short response once again, and began walking the rest of the way home.
End of chapter 1.
Well, well, what a nice day, right? To almost get killed by a semi and meet the guy of your dreams must be pretty amazing. Tee hee!
