Pandemonium in Two Directions

Preface: Arrival

Authors' Note: So! We have decided, that, since our other Bleach fanfic, which we should be writing at the moment instead of this one, (oops, don't kill us, please, we'll have the next chapter up soon, we promise) we would write another one!

Summary: This particular fanfic takes place at a school, and Utari is stuck being dorm mother in order to pay for her own schooling. It didn't sound like such a bad idea, until she learned that the dorm she'd be taking charge of was filled with Espada and their Fraccion. (And no, oldie (No.2) is NOT in this. Sorry, but we don't like him, much.)

Disclaimer: We, the writing duo MaiiMaii, do hereby, (Lord, about to crack up in laughter) declare that we do NOT claim any ownership of Bleach, be it the anime or Manga, and all related characters, events, and so on and such forth.

We hope that you enjoy! We also love reviews, so please, review; tell us what you think!

O.o

I still remember my walk across the stage like it was yesterday. Granted, it wasn't all that long ago, a few months, in fact, but the memory is still clear in my mind. An accomplished smile on my face, I walked up the few steps and took my diploma, not a worry in my head. Why should I have been worried? My grades had been quite good, not perfect, but better than barely passing. I hadn't exactly received any scholarships by then, but I didn't think much of it as I walked off and joined my graduating class, where we threw our hats up as the last person walked across the stage. We'd finally finished high school. This wasn't a time to be worrying about such trivial things.

The school I'd applied to, my first choice, was a sort of prestigious one, and therefore expensive. First semester began in the fall, so when I received the acceptance letter halfway through summer, I almost fainted, right outside, standing before the mailbox.

I hadn't saved any money. I had no job, and absolutely no scholarships had come for me in the mail. I searched its empty metal inside, my breath growing faster as my hands touched nothing soft. The deadline for financial aid had passed the month before. I had been too lazy to go fill out the paperwork.

Worst of all, I'd forgotten to apply to my second choice. I was stuck.

"Well," my mom said slowly after I explained my situation."The way I see it, this is your entire fault for being a lazy ass."

My mouth fell open and I stared at her, awestruck. "What do you mean, my fault? I told you that I didn't want to go to college in the first place. Why should I have to even worry about this right now?"

"It's not my problem. You know I can't afford to pay for you to go."

"Then I'm not going," I declared, swinging my feet over the edge of the couch. She hated when I did that.

"Bullshit," she said, changing the channel on the television. You're getting your ass out of this house. Make something of yourself. I told you-,"

"Whatever."

"Don't 'whatever' me," she said. "Might as well find some kind of job at the school or something. You won't get any help from me. Time for you to grow up."

O.o

There was only one job available. I found out why at the beginning of fall.

There were nine of them in the main rooms of the Night Dorm; Stark, Harribel, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Grimmjow, Leroux, Szayel, Aaroniero, and Yami. Upstairs were their Fraccion, of which I had no idea what that was, but they were supposed to have supplied me with a list of their names before they arrived for the day. Call me surprised to find no lists sitting on my desk, as I tumbled, by myself, darn my mother for being so self-centered, with my bags into my room. Not. The dorm was so huge, it had taken me nearly forever to find the door to my room tucked near the back of the kitchen as it was. No wonder the job paid so well. No wonder no one else had snatched it up. This wasn't going to turn out well.

It wasn't long after I'd gotten settled, my stuff organized, my clothes in the closet and the dresser, my toiletries in my own bathroom, the others had to share, I checked before, laptop set up on the desk, posters taped to the concrete walls, and the television running, that I heard several cars rushing into the parking lot. I looked through the window, curious. Thankfully I'd decided to push the bunk beds near the window; I tumbled backwards and fell onto the soft mattress, my head nearly missing the bottom of the top bunk.

They all wore different types of clothes, and had skulls on some part of their upper body. One was abnormally huge, with orange hair, another was a bit bigger than him, but he was slim, very tall, with straight teeth, another was a blonde, her face hidden beneath her top, the only female, so far, one had black hair, another had pink, then there was one with brown hair, and blue-grey eyes. There was a dark skinned guy, with a bald head, and then-

"Hey, you," a voice said carrying through the open window green eyes staring straight at me. "Why don't you get out here and introduce yourself like a dorm mother with some sense should?"

The nerve! And how dare he just walk on the grass that the kind landscaper had just mowed, and the flowers, he was standing on the ones that sat outside my window!

"Hurry up, I don't have all damn day," muttered someone else from behind him. "Look, the Fraccion already have our stuff out of our cars."

Fancy fast cars, at that, mostly in black. And all I had was a truck that had belonged to my grandfather before he passed away. "Fine," I snapped, pulling myself through the window. I only had on shorts and a small shirt that exposed my navel, so it was an easy thing to slip through, although I nearly slid into someone. It wasn't the green eyed, black haired one; this one had eccentric blue hair, blue-green, aqua like eyes, and a scowl on his face as I looked up nervously, stumbling away. The others gathered behind him as a huge group strolled through the front doors of the dorm, bags in hand. The Fraccion, I guessed. How many were there? Three, another four, two…

"Um, it's nice to meet everyone," I stuttered, tucking a strand of my dark hair behind my ear. I'd forgotten to tie it up before leaving home. "I'm Utari, and I'll be your dorm mother. I have classes just like all of you, so I won't be available all day, but I promise to buy groceries, and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared, the dorms cleaned…I also have a schedule posted…on my…door, if you need…me..."

The blue haired one was staring. And not at my face.

"'The hell are you looking at?"

"You talkin' to me?" he retorted, gaze snatching away from my chest.

"Damn right. Anyway, your room numbers and such are all on the front desk. Help yourself as you enter the dorm. But first, please introduce yourselves to me so that I can check you all off."

Harribel was the blond one, and she had three Fraccion, Mila Rose, Sun-Sun, and one whose name I forgot almost as soon as she said it. She apologized for not having sent her list beforehand, one of her Fraccion had forgotten. She didn't seem so bad. Pinky had a whole group of Fraccion, so I didn't exactly memorize any of the names. Nnoitra, the really tall one, had only one T, Te…something, maybe? Yami the huge one, had none, as did Leroux, the dark skin male. Stark had only one, Lilinette. Ulquiorra, green eyes, had none as well, as did Grimmjow, the impudent one who stares openly at women's chests with his aqua eyes like it's perfectly normal.

We were not going to get along very well.

O.o

Authors' Note: So! We got all of the introductions, moving, and a few of the personalities out of the way. But just the bit of them. Of course, these ten people living together probably isn't going to go peacefully. As a matter of fact, considering that both Grimmjow and Ulquiorra live there now as well…But at least there's Harribel. Though, she does have a lot of classes…and Fraccion…Damn.

Anyway, we hope you enjoyed, that you'll read on, and that you'll review! Because if you don't, we'll find you, like the Stride people. Just kidding! Lol!
