CH.1 A high school life
"Finally!" screamed Kibou "High school! here I come!" she was running trough the morning street of karakura town.
Kibou is the daughter of kurosaki ichigo and Inoue orihime. She has white skin, a long hair of orange with a small white stripe in the left part of her hair and she made a low ponytail out of it. Her hair is a bit messed up but it's tidier than her father's spikey hair. She has golden colored eyes that stuck out but she didn't really care. Today is the first day of school after the long holiday, kibou is finally a high scholar, and she felt so exited about it that she ran as fast as she can leaving her best friend, Tsukiko Kojima and Sado shidou. Even though she didn't look like it, she is a fighting genius. She was trained by tatsuki and was praised by her as having her parent's ability in fighting, not only that, she also has stamina and speed. Ever since she knows the truth about her parents and all the shinigami stuff last year, she always wanted to go to karakura high school, she thought she might finally found some excitement in her life.
"Hey! Kibou slow down!" exclaimed tsukiko who was running franticly for her.
Kojima Tsukiko is the daughter of tatsuki and kojima mizuiro, She is strong-built and has been visiting the dojo for a very long time. her mother is her personal coach as well. Mizuiro helps her out with her schoolwork mostly, so her grades are not half-bad. Not that she cares a lot. She has jet-black short hair that curls up under her chin but exposing her ears as well. Orihime treats her really well, and she respects her and Ichigo.
Shidou was running with tsukiko, chasing after tsukiko who was several meters ahead without saying anything. shidou has Super Strength- although he is skinny and not all on the muscular side, Shidou is as monstrously strong as his father. He usually hides his eyes beneath the wavy brown hair, only his right eye is shown.
The first to arrive on school is kibou. She stoped in front of the gate and watched the school building full of anticipation. Soon, tsukiko and shidou arrived.
tsukiko speak with heavy breath. "What are you waiting for?"
Kibou shrugged, "Nothing, really, just trying to take a first look on my new school, you know, get the felling of it" said kidou cherfully. "Besides who knows what will happen if we enter the school, there might be monsters like zombies and wolf man and stuff." she said comically.
Tsukiko sigh. "What now you're being random again there is no way that's gonna happen right" tsukiko said as she given up on her friend's randomness "Anyway, lets just see which class we will be, okay"
Kibou nodded, the three of them walk trough the school front yard and went to the notice board. There the student classes are written.
"Let's see here" said kibou as she searched for her name " hey, look! It's seems we're going to be classmates for this year"
Tsukiko set her sight on the piece of paper where their names are embedded "Whoah, it's true, we're finally on the same class huh" said tsukiko with a smile. The three of them never been on the same class before, it's either both or none. "Class 1-3 huh"
As tsukiko and kibou has their eyes fixed on the paper, shidou spotted Ryuuki, he was walking trough the school gate while reading a book. Ryuuki is a Quincy as his father, ishida uryuu does, his bangs is split in the middle revealing his large forehead. He has a short ponytail on his back. Shidou poke Kibou on her shoulder and speak.
"Ryuuki" said Shidou while pointing at Ryuuki.
Both Kibou and Tsukiko turned back to spot ryuuki, and ryuuki still reading his book, unaware of kibou and both of her friend. Suddenly kibou pat ryuuki's shoulder that surprised him but, his face only shows a little emotion.
"Osu!, you are as healty as always, ryuuki" said kibou with an emphasis on his name.
"Kurosaki! What are you doing here!" said ryuuki surprised "Anyway didn't I tell you to not address me so casually"
"Hey, don't be so hard headed" said kibou with a smile "besides didn't you know, we all got accepted here"
"We?" asked ryuuki confused
"Osu! Ryuuki" said Tsukiko. Beside her, shidou is saying "um" as a greeting.
"Kojima! Sado!" exclaimed ryuuki. Shocked with the un-anticipated arrival of his friend. But soon he got his calm composure back. "Hey! I just told you not to call me so casually"
"Well, we are pretty close, you know, we have known you since grade school, right ryuuki" said kibou who give an emphasis on his name as he pat his back. She seems enjoying this.
"That's right, you don't have to be so cold, ryuuki" said tsukiko, she also add an emphasis to ryuuki's name
"That's enough, I'm going to class" said ryuuki annoyed as he walk quickly to the school building.
"hee... What a coincidence, we're also going to class" said kibou as she ran beside ryuuki "let's go together, ryuuki" and of course another emphasis on ryuuki's name.
"Cut it out already! isn't your class somewhere else" said ryuuki who was really anoyed.
"No, our class is the same as yours after all" said kibou cheerfully
"What!" exclaimed ryuuki as he stoped right on his tracks followed by tsukiko and shidou. "The same as you guys!" now he's panicking
"yeah, don't you see the notice board?" asked tsukiko "it clearly stated our names on it."
"So we will be class mates for this year" said kidou happily "please took care of me this year"
"What!" exclaimed ryuuki. He was not pleased with the way things are moving. After he found class 1-3 he opened the door and walk slowly toward his seat as if all of his energy has been sucked away, then he collapsed on his table right after he took a seat.
How could this be happening! Thinked ryuuki, miserably
Kibou who was about to enter the classroom got a surprise visit from her old friend. Her name is hibiki asano. She has a red coloured hair just as her mother does. She ran to kibou while screaming "ohayou! kiiiiiboooouuuuu!" as hibiki is about to attack(hug) kibou from the back, kibou who has exceptional reflex, lift her fist and swing it to the back which hit her square on her face. "geh..." exclaimed hibiki as she was thrown backwards and hit the wall.
"ara... Hibiki-San, are you okay?" asked kibou with a smile
"kuh... pretty good kiki, but I'm not finished yet " said hibiki as she stand and launched another attack, she charged in front but before she could hug kibou, kibou raise her knee and hit hibiki on her stomach. "guah..." she exclaimed once more and she's out.
"Oh my... I think you should go to the nurse office" said kibou still maintaining her smile "then later". instead of helping hibiki she enter the class room.
tsukiko who was behind kibou all this time thinked to herself. That kibou, she could be quite scary at times.
Kibou, who was enjoying every second of her new senior live, was really on a good mood she sat on her seat with a big smile. "He...he... I can't wait too see some monsters come out like vampire then more comes out, there's zombies. Then they will be locked in a fierce battle. The battles attract more monsters to come and the dragon shows up who beat the other monsters then the monster hire a knight to slay the dragon. Look out! This is the battle of history!" she said as she goes all random again
Once more Tsukiko sigh, "please spare me" tsukiko said. She should have used to kibou's random brambling but still. "Really what are you talking about? What do you think high school is? A monster den?"
"Ehh... I thought it was a good one too..." said Kibou following her best friend's complain
Just then the classroom door opened. A lean tall brown haired third year student was walking to the class, he has one muscular body which was proportional, making one perfect body. You could see the muscular collar bones trough the opened top of his school uniform. He has a white hair that makes him looked older than he actually is. "yo!" the student called to shidou.
"Bro!" exclaimed shidou as he did some special hand shake. Both kidou and tsukiko went over shidou to see what's going on. As for ryuuki, he still got slumped on his table.
"shidou, you know him?" asked tsukiko surprised.
"Hey, I'm kiryu, shidou's big brother" said kiryu as he looked at the ladies with full confidence.
"What!" shouted kibou and tsukiko
"You... You are... " said kibou, pointing rudely at kiryu "I cant belive it!, how come we never know about you going to karakura high?"
"Well, I guess shidou never talk much" said kiryu obviously "and you are?"
"Oh yes!, kurosaki kibou-tes" introduced kibou as she gone back to her high spirited and cheerful side.
"My name is tsukiko kojima" introduced tsukiko followed after kibou.
"so you are the one that shidou talked about, I'm glad he found some good friends" Said kiryu smiling. Kibou and tsukiko looked at each other surprised at what kiryu had said. Shidou who was keeping quiet, blushed beside his brother. Soon after the conversation the first bell rang. Kiryu who is a third year student have to get to class before the teacher came, he leave the introduction here for now.
Meanwhile in the hallways, a red haired student with a well built body is walking with a piece of note in hand "hah... Why I should do this kind of thing, they don't have to put me to school while I'm on duty. On top of that they placed me with him, talk about bad luck" he mumbles to himself as he went trough the hallways until he finally arrived in front of class1-3.
"This is it huh" he said as he opened the door and walked in. Ryuuki who was lying dry on his table a second ago suddenly lift his head and give a stare to the new kid who just came in. He felt the reiatsu from the new kid, his ability to sense reiatsu is as sharp as his father. A shinigami huh he thought.
The red haired kid felt so uncomfortable here, he is a high ranked shinigami who was considered as an elite, coming to school like this isn't his type. He quickly chooses a seat just behind kibou beside the window and he noticed, ryuuki was looking at him so intently, which made him even more uncomfortable. Like I tought, I shouldn't be here, I didn't belong here at all. He tought
Soon the teacher comes in.
"Take your seat everyone" she said as she enters the class room. She has a dark brown hair which almost looked like red and one thing that the guys would think after they saw her is the teacher's nice body and big boobs. She got everything a man would die for, but the only minus in her is, she's a tomboy. So instead of using skirt she uses long pants. Still, her charm is working on the boys in the class.
"Alright then, welcome to the first year of senior high, like it or not, I will be your home room teacher for this year" she said. That second, almost all the boys in the class thought the same thing at once -we definitely like it here-. Meanwhile the red haired shinigami who has no interest what so ever on humans didn't bother to look, instead he looked out to the school yard. Ryuuki on other hand was too busy fixing his eyes on the red haired kid.
"My name is fujima kouki you could call me " she introduced her self "today we will..." and started explaining. Most of the male student didn't really pay attention, instead they were looking at the teacher's body which was really distracting the student. They only come to their senses when the teacher started the absentees, when their name is called.
"tsukiko kojima" said
"Here!" said tsukiko as she raised her hand
"Then, next is, kurosaki kibou" she called
"Here!" said kibou as she shoots her hand energeticly, she were still on her hi-spec mode.
kurosaki? Thinked the red haired student who was familiar to the name. it can't be... Maybe it was a coincidence?
"Kuchiki tanimoto" called , but tanimoto was on a deep thought. "kuchiki tanimoto" the teacher rephrased.
"a...aaa...here" said tanimoto as he finally back to his senses.
Behind tanimoto, kibou started to think. Kuchiki?, where did I ever heard that name.
Then, Tanimoto just relize about the high reiatsu concentration inside the class. This reiatsu, Its coming from her! Then he started to trace the reiatsu and land on a discovery there is more! Not only from the kurosaki girl but from that skinny kid, the other girl and... He turned back to see ryuuki who still have his eyes on him. Don't tell me.. He knew!.
The rest of the lesson seems awkward to tanimoto who realized the reiatsu level in the room. Thankfully today was the first day, the school ended on the first hour. He got up and decided to meet the ponytailed boy who was watching him all the time. But then he saw the kurosaki girl and her friends together with the ponytailed boy, he has to think twice, so he decides to see the situation. for now he thinks as he walked out from the class
"The first day went surprisingly fast, right ryuuki" said kibou as she group up with shidou, tsukiko and ryuuki hoping to play around with ryuuki. Then, she relized that he has such a serious eyes. "I'm sorry but I have to leave, now" said ryuuki calmly without any hint of annoyance, and he ran out of his class.
"What's with him" asked tsukiko, as for kibou though her happy moments just flew out of the window. i have a bad felling about this she thought.
On a deserted street of karakura town, ryuuki finally catch up with tanimoto. He was leaning his back to the wall while he waits for ryuuki to show up.
"Like I thought, you came after me." Said tanimoto as he turned to meet ryuuki, face to face.
"You are a shinigami aren't you" said ryuuki as he cluched the quincy cross in his hand.
"You... who are you" said tanimoto as the air becoming tense every second, his hand in his pocket hold a gikongan in order to get out from his gigai.
"Don't you know, it's a common coutersy to introduce oneself before asking others" ryuuki said
"hmh... kuchiki tanimoto, 13th squad member, fifth seat officer."
"Isida Ryuuki, Quincy"
"Quincy huh.., I'm surprised, I didn't expect to find one here"
"Same as you, I'm surprised that there's a shinigami posing as a student, but I didn't mind, as long as I found a shinigami." Ryuuki started to form a bow with his Quincy cross, unlike his father, ryuuki's bow is red colored.
"what!" exclaimed tanimoto as he was alerted by the sudden hostile movement from ryuuki. He gulped his gikongan and ask him to get back.
"what do you think you're doing" said tanimoto a he shifted to ready position.
"isn't it obvious, im a Quincy, you're a shinigami, I think that should explain everything. besides, My father always hated shinigami because they killed great grandfather, its nothing much for me but, my pride as a Quincy didn't let that happen. you guys started fight after all"
"Really, it seems it was just a lame reason to me" said Tanimoto as Ryuuki shoots two arrows from his spirit particle bow aiming for his leg. tanimoto take a step backwards to evade as the arrow pierced the ground in front of him.
"che... Getting started are we" tanimoto said as he draw his sword.
this time, ryuuki started to fight for real, he shot a barrage of arrows aiming for tanimoto. Tanimoto deflected the first and second arrows, then he started to move forward while he dodge the rest of the arrows. as the last two arrows hurling towards him, he jumped up and lift his sword up in preparation for an attack. However, Ryuuki smiled, he knows this was going to happen and he disappeared from tanimoto's point of view and appears on tanimoto's back right after.
"What!" exclaimed tanimoto as ryuuki launched his arrow. Tanimoto was surprised, but it didn't slow down his reaction and somehow he managed to guard against ryuuki's arrow.
"You surprised me" said Tanimoto as he get back to his stance. "To think that there's a human who could use shunpo."
"It's not shunpo" Ryuuki said as he dissapear and reappear on tanimoto's left. "It's Hirenkyaku"
using his hirenkyaku ryuuki launched another attack. Tanimoto evade using shunpo. As the battle rages on, they heard a terrifying scream that echoes through the air. "Hollow!" exclaimed both of them. It seems the hollows are attracted by their reiatsu.
"che... I guess we used a bit too much of reiatsu" said tanimoto thinking this could be a big problem he shunpoed away from ryuuki to took down hollows. but ryuuki didnt bother to chase, he did what he came for.
"a shinigami huh... Is this all they got? How disappointing" said ryuuki as he shot his arrows to the hollow that just appeared.
Out on the deserted lot, Nero, a shinigami elite and zaraki's student-attendant was sleeping on top of a wooden bench. he was wearaing the karakura high grey uniform. He was taken by zaraki the same way he took yaichiru with him. And what's more, nero has a lot of reiatsu, rivals to zaraki and as crazy in battle as he is. that's why, even though he should be at school with tanimoto, he didn't bother going, it wasn't his style, even if it meant to go against order. He has a jet-black hair and He used an eyepatch for his left eye, It was cut by a hollow before zaraki took him in.
As soon as he felt hollow reiatsu, he smiled. "Finally, something to cut for" he said as he shunpoed away to join the fight.
Meanwhile, kibou, tsukiko and shidou walks back home together trough the alley in residental area. Their home is on the same route, but in the middle of the journey they heard a terrible scream.
"What's that sound!" asked tsukiko while shidou just showed a surprised face.
"It can't be... hollows" said kibou, her face was pale, she knew if she met one of those here, it would be the end of them, since none of them are shinigami or having super powers to defeat the hollow.
"Hollow? those mosters!" Exclaimed tsukiko. She encountered one a long time ago, and it's definetly not a pleasant experience.
"Hurry!" kibou exclaimed, "we must get to kurosaki clinic before they appear, my father could do something about them." and she started to run
Tsukiko and shidou ran after kibou without any question, since they also felt something bad is coming. Please let us arrive there safely. Thinked kibou. Unfortunately though, in the middle of their way, a hollow has managed to track them down. Felling a large amount of reiatsu, the hollow is agitated. tsukiko and shidou gasped, intimidated by the giant hollow in front of them.
"Damn we can't make it" said kibou as she tried to thinked a way to get out of the dire situation.
Just before the hollow attacked, a shinigami came and defend kibou and the others. She's using a shihakusho, she has a brown long hair and a black colored eyes. Kibou could only watched as she fights the hollow. When the hollow lift his giant hand to go for another attack but before it was able to attack, the shinigami jumped to the hollow's head and cut it half. Soon the hollow disintegrated and the shinigami put away her sword back to the scabard. As she tries to walk away kibou shouted. "Hey wait!, you are a shinigami aren't you"
Taken aback with kibou's word, she turns and asked, "you could see me? And you know about sninigami no less"
"Yeah, something wrong with that?" asked kibou as the shinigami walked closer kibou to take a closer look.
"Strange, normal human can't see me," said the shinigami getting so close to kibou that kibou stepped backwards to make a distance "then again they shouldn't know about us shinigami either"
"shinigami... you are a shinigami!" said tsukiko surprised. she knows the existance of shinigami but never seen one before. Shidou is also surprised, but he kept silence.
"so, you could see me too... I should say you guys got fairly a large amount of reiatsu for a human"
"Is that so..." said kibou relucantly, she is uncomfortable in the phase -human- while tsukiko just
"Well, maybe we will meet again, until then!" she said as she shunpoed away.
"what!, hey wait!" exclaimed kibou but she was gone, there were a few moments of silence. They need time to comprehend things that just happen.
then, ichigo, kibou's father, come running with a worried face. Ichigo has orange spikey hair and keep his eye furrowed for most of the time. Ichigo is also a shinigami, but he can't change to his shinigami form for some reason. He looked like he's on 20s but his age is actualy 37. plus the training on the dangai world, he actually much older than he look like.
"dad!" exclaimed kibou
"are you okay?, are you hurt?" said ichigo as he placed his hand on kibou's shoulder
"No... I'm okay" kibou answered her father. Having finished checking his daughter, he went on to shidou and tsukiko "how about you, shidou, tsukiko, you alright?"
"Yeah... I'm fine" said tsukiko
"me too" said shidou after tsukiko
"I see... Thank goodness" said ichigo relieved from all his worry "but are you sure, you should come by for some check up". After his father left, ichigo took over the clinic, he took medical course for his college and become a doctor. He never thought it would be like this though. "And maybe I should walk both of you home"
"No, it's okay, my house is just after the intersection up ahead" Said tsukiko as she step forward.
"mine is on the left" said shidou, its just one simple sentence, but they knew what he meant. He's going home alone.
"But.. you sure.." said kibou, worried of her friends well being.
"You don't have to worry about us. Then we took our leave." said tsukiko as she did a short bow to ichigo "lets go shidou" shidou turned to ichigo and nods, then he follow after tsukiko leaving kibou and her father alone.
Kibou and her father are walking back home together, trough the empty residences street, kibou decided to tell her father every thing that happened, In her own style.
"Hey dad, I met a shinigami today, she saved us when the hollow attacked us" said kibou with a gleaming smile "she just come out of no where and -swoosh!- She stand in front of us and took down the hollow with one mighty stroke!" ichigo is just smiling beside her hearing her daughter comments which just like her mother did. "But then" said kibou as she dropped her gleaming face and turns it into one hopeless look, although she managed to keep smiling. "I felt completely useless. I can't do anything about it, if the shinigami didnt help us, we're done for. If only I was stronger …"
Ichigo who knows how she felt all to well can't help to fell sorry for her. His furrows went softer as he heard his daughter story, but all he can do now is to comfort his daughter in any way he can. "You are strong, only people with strong hearts could say such a thing. I sure one day you will have the power to protect every one you love"
After hearing her father's word, she changed her pale face back to a smile. She smiled and nodded to her father as they walked back to kurosaki clinic. Today is the first day of kibou's high school life, the day where the wheels of fate started to turn.
