"Tatsuki, Orihime, hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Rukia Kuchiki yelled to the girls behind her as they ran towards the gates of Karakura High School. They were late again because Rukia had to remake breakfast twice. Tatsuki and Orihime were two of her best friends, and came to her house every morning for breakfast. And almost every time they got there they would pop out of nowhere and scare the shit out of Rukia so she somehow managed to ruin the food. Then they would end up late because Rukia would remake it and they would loose track of time. This was the fifth time in two weeks they were gonna be late.
The bell rang and Rukia cursed out loud. The three bolted through the gates and shot down the halls to their homeroom. They popped in right as the teacher told the class to sit.
"Ah, ladies, nice for you to join us. Sit down. No, you're not in trouble. But two more times and I have to give you three detention." Ukitake-sensei was a kind man, and had known most of them since a young age through Rukia's brother, so they didn't often get in trouble. The three girls bowed and apologized.
"Gomen, Ukitake-sensei. It wont happen again." They said in union, used to doing this already.
"That's what you say every time. Take your seats, please." As Rukia approached her seat, she noticed the empty seat beside her was no longer empty. A young man with bright orange hair sat there, watching her with amber eyes. His mouth was covered by his hand, his elbow resting on the desk so that he was propping his head up.
'Great. There goes my view of the sky.' Rukia thought as she sat down and looked to see if her friends had noticed. Behind Tatsuki and in front of Hinamori sat another new boy, this one with bold, blood red hair in a spiky ponytail and black jagged tattoos going across his eyebrows and down his neck. A piece of black cloth was wrapped around his head, covering his forehead and some of his tattoos.
When Rukia looked forward to see Orihime, she found a third new guy, this one with short black hair and glasses. He sat in the second row, diagonal to Orihime. How had three new students show up at once? Rukia's gaze traveled back to the teacher as he motioned to the three she had just been inspecting. The boys stood, bringing themselves to the front of the classroom with long strides. They stood side by side as Ukitake-sensei introduced them.
"Class, these are the Kurosaki brothers. They just moved in from another town. This is Ichigo," He pointed to the carrot-top "Renji," the tattoo freak "and Ishida." glasses boy. "They will be joining us for the rest of the year, I expect you to help them and be…respectful. You may return to your seats." They slumped back into their seats and the teacher went on telling the class the latest news of the school. Nobody listened so eventually the calm man rolled his eyes and told them they could talk since most were falling asleep. Many girls, including Orihime and Hinamori, grouped in the back, Tatsuki choosing to catch up on sleep at her desk rather than talk. Rukia stayed in her seat, watching Hitsugaya. Hinamori had had a crush on him since they were little and the girls thought he liked her too. It was Rukia's self-proclaimed job to watch and see if he glanced at her whatsoever.
Bingo! His eyes darted to the back of the room, watched her for a millisecond, then returned to whatever he had been doing before hand. Rukia had caught him 'checking on her' like this many times within the past few days, since she had many classes with the two. She smiled to herself and started to draw rabbits on the inside of her notebook's cover. That is, until a rather loud scream from Tatsuki woke her from her trance.
"DAMNIT STOP POKING ME!!!" Tatsuki spun around, striking Renji upside the head with her binder. Ukitake-sensei was alert at once, but then he realized it was Tatsuki.
"Bitch, that freaking hurt!" Renji snapped back, clutching the side of his head. Ukitake-sensei approached and the two were silent.
"I will not tolerate that kind of language in this class! Renji, I will let this slide since it is your first day, but next time you wont get off so easy. Tatsuki, If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, stop hitting people unless its in a karate tournament!" He said it in an exasperated but teasing voice and Tatsuki bit back a smile and apologized for the second time that morning. The teacher sighed and shook his head. "Tatsuki, you have lunch detention with me. Renji, you will get it if I hear you curse again." Then he walked away. Rukia smiled as Tatsuki muttered under her breath and headed for the back right corner of the room near Hinamori and Orihime. Rukia knew that a string of curse words had come out of her mouth and couldn't help but laugh.
"Temper, temper." She heard Hitsugaya chuckle beside her.
"She does have some anger issues, doesn't she?" He asked, knowing she would know.
"Obviously. But it was his fault. She really hates being touched. Especially when tired." Rukia replied, and Hitsugaya nodded in understanding.
"So, have you finished the project for Science yet?" and the conversation was normal from there. From behind Rukia, Ichigo watched the two of them, then he turned his gaze to Renji. The idiot had already managed to aggravate one of the most violent chicks in the class. Ishida seemed to be doing what he usually did, keep to himself. Ichigo had heard him laughing lightly when that Tatsuki girl had whacked Renji. His eyes darted back to Rukia. She was turning away from her conversation with the white haired midget and drawing those weird bunny things in her notebook again.
He couldn't help himself. "What are those suppose to be, deranged mice with abnormally large ears?" he asked her, peering over at the paper. Looks like stupidity ran in the whole family.
"You jackass, they're bunnies!" Rukia snapped, tempted to mimic Tatsuki. He had pulled his hand from is face to talk and was scowling, apparently at her artwork.
"Well sorry, its not my fault they look like a lab experiment gone wrong." Ichigo said, earning himself a good long glare. She snapped her notebook shut and stalked back to join Tatsuki in the corner. Ichigo watched as Tatsuki lifted her head with a puzzled look on her face and listened to Rukia talk as she opened her notebook to show the other her drawings. Tatsuki said something and smiled while Rukia glared at her before they both started laughing.
"Well you're about as smart as your brother, now aren't you?" Ichigo heard Hitsugaya say quietly and scowled. This was a great beginning to a new school. The bell rang and everyone filed out for first period.

Rukia sat in her seat by the window as 12th grade teacher Urahara-sensei told one of the giggling girls of the class to shut up for the forth time. She chuckled to herself, Urahara-sensei never had beat about the bush with his students. She was amazed he hadn't been fired yet. It was the end of class and everyone was working on something or another, be it actual schoolwork or notes to pass down the desks to friends.
Rukia had erased every rabbit from the notebook and was working on her science project when a note was dropped onto her desk. She looked up to see Keigo walking by, and she sighed. Yet another of his fruitless attempts to get her to go out with him. Keigo was an entertaining friend, if an annoying one, but she really didn't want to date the guy. So she flicked it off the desk onto the floor near the window, praying it would get stuck to a piece of gum on someone's shoe and vanish completely. The bell rang, and she scurried out the door into the hallway.
The black haired girl was darting through the crowds to get to the doors so she could eat lunch outside under her favorite tree with Hinamori, Tatsuki, and Orihime when she ran into something. Hard. And her project and notebooks went flying.
"Shit!" they both said simultaneously, and Rukia looked up into the face of none other than Kurosaki Ichigo. He looked back down at her for a moment before she turned away angrily and started collecting her papers off the ground.
"Ass." She muttered, figuring he walked away by now. When she got back up to grab her notebook, she was surprised to see it shoved in front of her nose. She snatched it out of his hand and started down the hall again, hoping her friends were already there. She was out the doors when a firm grip on her elbow stopped her. "Yes?"
"I just wanted to say, sorry 'bout dissin' your rabbits. And for crashing into you." He was muttering and looking the other way, but she could feel his sincerity and smiled.
"Apology accepted." He seemed relieved.
"Good." Then the strawberry walked away. Rukia turned and headed for the shade of the tree where her friends where waiting with their lunches. As she sat down she noticed the looks she was getting from them.
"What? What'd I do?" She asked, confused. Those looks were not innocent.
"Nothing." Tatsuki said, and sucked on her straw. Orihime and Hinamori looked away, and that was the end of that conversation. Hinamori plunged into at story about how one of the school bullies had been about to rip apart her homework when Chad (who sat beside her) poked him hard in the side and he fell over. He scurried away quickly after that. The girls laughed and they chatted their way through their lunch.
Up On The Roof
Oddly enough, the white-haired boy who had first called him and Renji idiots turned out to be a pretty cool guy, and wasn't spastic and moronic like every other student in the school. Hitsugaya, Chad, Ichigo, Renji, Ishida, and a little guy named Hanataro sat on the roof eating their lunches and watching as Keigo flipped out and dragged Mizuru into it.
"What's he screaming about?" Ichigo asked Hanataro, pointing to Keigo and raising an eyebrow.
"I think he's upset because Rukia turned him down again. He's been asking her to go out with him for about a month now."
"Rukia?" Now he was paying more attention.
"Yes. The girl in homeroom who you seem so good at pissing off. She's supposedly one of the three un-date-able chicks of this school." Hitsugaya said, putting himself in the conversation.
"She's very kind, though. Says she doesn't date 'cuz she doesn't like anyone here. Said she didn't like to waste time with people she didn't really like" Hanataro added.
"Oh rea-"
"WHY, OH WHY DOES SHE KEEP REJECTING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Keigo screeched, cutting Ichigo off and launching himself at their little side group. Ichigo instantly put out a foot to deflect him.
"Maybe she doesn't like you, ever thought of that?" Ichigo said to the pile of thing in front of his shoe.
"SHE MUST BE PLAYING HARD TO GET! THAT'S IT! I KNOW IT IS!" yelled Keigo, completely ignoring Ichigo.
"Who plays hard to get for a month?" Renji asked, pointing out an obvious detail. Keigo continued to ignore them.
"I KNOW! ILL ASK AGAIN DURING P.E. AND-"
"WILL YOU JUST GET OVER THE FACT THAT SHE DOESN'T FUCKING LIKE YOU ALREADY?! CHRIST!" Ichigo yelled, towering over Keigo and furious for an unknown reason. Keigo shut up, turned tail and ran, right across the rooftop and down the stairs in absolute terror. The rest of the guys turned and stared at Ichigo, bewildered to why he freaked like that. He sent them a glare and they all quickly turned away, M following Keigo down the stairs and the rest returning to their lunches.
Ichigo calmed down and his fury was quickly replaced with his own confusion. The rest of lunch was mostly quiet.

After Rukia's rather uneventful (yet pretty entertaining) lunch, she headed off for gym class and the wonderful -note the sarcasm- girl's locker room. Where if you looked at anyone for more than five seconds, you were a lesbian. Oy. Luckily, she had this class with Tatsuki. Unluckily, so did Keigo. That was going to be fun.
"Rukia!" As soon as she got out of the fucking locker room. Damnit!
"What?" she spun around, facing Keigo with her all-powerful don't-fuck-with-me-right-now expression. He stopped, a scared expression on his face, then said in a fast and panicky voice:
"Hopeyoudogood-bye!" and he shot off like a torpedo on a mission.
"I gotta use that facial expression more often." Rukia muttered as Tatsuki noticed that not far off behind Rukia was a very angry faced Ichigo glaring at Keigo's retreating form.
"Ya, that's it…" She muttered, smiled, and led Rukia off to the basketball courts.
With Ichigo
"Hey, wait up!" Ichigo heard Renji's voice from behind him right before his brother slung his arm around his shoulder heavily and dragged him toward the ground. "Wuzzup?" Ichigo ducked out of the idiotic red-head's grasp and stood straight again, giving him an annoyed-but-amused look that usually only Renji could get out of him.
"It's gym class. The only thing that's up is the ball that's gonna hit you in the head if you don't move." Ichigo said. Renji stopped and stood there like an idiot, just long enough for a basketball to come down and smack him right on the top of his head.
"HOLY SHIT! Oww!!!" Renji yelled, rubbing his brainless head and looking around for who threw the orange sphere.
"Told ya." Ichigo said as Tatsuki and Rukia ran up. Tatsuki glared at Renji before snatching up the ball.
"It was you! You owe me an apology, you tomboyish freak!" Renji yelled, getting right up in her face.
"I owe YOU an apology? Tomboyish freak? I don't think so, asswipe!" Tatsuki screamed right back, furious all over again. Rukia met eyes with Ichigo for a millisecond before turning away quickly to watch the fight that was quickly unfolding before them.
After much screaming, a few punches, and one very painful looking kick in the nuts (almost all the later done by Tatsuki) Ichigo and Rukia pried them off each other and dragged them away.
"God, Renji, what is your problem?" Ichigo asked his brother, still dragging him toward the football field. Renji wasn't even struggling anymore.
"Sorry, that bitch just pisses me off." Renji mumbled, pulling his gym uniform out of Ichigo's grasp and walking along side him. "I don't even know how. I just see her and my blood boils!" Renji said, frustrated beyond his normal self.
"Then try staying away from her." Ichigo advised, picking up the closest football and throwing it up to catch it again.
"That's obviously not working." Renji replied.
"So much for 'lets try and lay low this year'." Ichigo said, and proceeded to toss the ball right at the back of Keigo's head. It hit its mark right on the dot.
"Ya, well what about you? You seem to like picking fights with the retard over there." Renji pointed out, jabbing his thumb at the sore-headed moron. Ichigo shrugged.
"Ya, well, you cant say he doesn't annoy the crap out of you, too." Ichigo defended himself.
"Ya, but I don't throw footballs at him when he's not looking." Renji pointed out. Ichigo shrugged again and told Renji to go long. Which, of course, the sports-crazed moron did without a thought.
