Dear Guardians,
I'm scared. I'm really, really scared.
Would you please help me?
I think I'm going to lose my sanity every minute from now.
Someone's been following me.
He said he wanted me.
He sent me roses.
He sent me pictures of mine. It's really creepy.
Please help.
From Inoue Orihime, Class 1-D.

Orihime Inoue was sitting at her usual seat on her English class. She was chatting with her best friend Tatsuki Arisawa who was sitting behind her. She might appear cheerful and carefree outside but deep inside she knew she wasn't like that all. She was afraid, scared and terrified for herself. For the past few months, a stalker had been following her.
She didn't know what to do anymore. So she had asked for the help of the 'Guardians'. They are the mysterious group of people who helped and solved problems for students at Karakura High. Rumours had said that only the headmaster himself knew the members of the group.
Everybody at school knew the group itself and their activities but no one knew the actual faces of its members. There was one thing everyone knew. When they have problems, they could always come to the guardians for help. You just have to open the computer and internet, go to their website and send them a message. The contents of the message itself would not be disclosed at the website.
Only the members of the Guardians Club would read it. And Orihime was hoping they had already read it and had taken actions to help her, or else – she might really lose her sanity.
She felt her cell phone vibrated in her pocket. She closed her eyes. With shaking hands, she reached for it and pulled it out. Ever since the stalking problem, she had been too nervous or scared to open her cell phone. Her stalker had been sending her recent pictures of her and it really scared the hell out of her. Sometimes, her stalker called her too. And it's horrifying to hear his voice, calling out her name in affection.
She tried to change her email address. But that didn't help her situation a bit. For some reasons, her stalker was able to get her new number. She cautiously opened her cell phone and saw she had a new message. She opened it. Her face turned pale and her body shivered in fear.
There, in front of her eyes, was her picture, while talking to her best friend Tatsuki. It was just taken a few minutes ago. And at the bottom of her picture was the text, 'You looked beautiful at this angle too, my princess.'
She screamed and dropped the phone on the ground. Tears started to fell from her eyes. Why her? Out of all those females in the school, why did the stalker chose her?
"Hime, what's wrong?" Tatsuki frantically asked. She stood up from her chair and knelt in front of her distressed friend. She grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
Orihime stared at her friend before jumping to her hug. "Tatsuki-chan! I'm scared! I'm scared!"
"Why, Hime? What happened?" Tatsuki said worriedly. "Is there something wrong? You're not seeing ghosts at our dorm, are you?"
Orihime pointed at her cell phone that was still lying on the ground. Tatsuki, though confused, picked it up and had a look on it. Her classmates, who recovered from the shock of her suddenly screaming, gathered towards Tatsuki to see what's wrong in the damn cell phone that left Orihime screeching for bloody murder.
"This is your picture while you're talking to me a while ago," Tatsuki spoke up. "Why is it in your cell phone?"
"Somebody sent it to me," Orihime replied. "I believed it was a stalker. He had been sending me roses, dried roses. Sometimes, creepy love letters and most of the time, he was sending me pictures of me in the dorm. It's really creepy!"
"Why didn't you tell me something like this? I could have helped you. We need to catch that bloody pervert!"
Orihime smiled sadly and wiped her tears. "Thanks Tatsuki-chan, but there's no need for that," Orihime offered her best friend a grin, "Because I already talked about my problem to the guardians. I'm sure they'd help me."
...
"She's really at her wits end, Shiro-chan." Momo Hinamori popped a gum in her mouth and started chewing it. She looked at Orihime Inoue from across the room. "What should we do?" She clung to his arm and smiled sweetly at him. "You won't keep her waiting, right?"
"I won't. We're going to act today. Call the other members," Toushiro Hitsugaya told her and gave her his cell phone.
She grabbed it and smirked. She peeled herself away from him and muttered excitedly, "As you wish, Shiro-chan-taichou."
"Oi, don't call me that! It's embarrassing!" Toushiro turned red in anger upon being called, 'Shiro-chan-taichou' by his childhood best friend. They were not little kids anymore. They were in the first years of their high school and they should act more like adults, not children. And being called by the childish pet name she forced on him since they met, was not helping them to grow up.
Momo giggled and placed his cell phone to her ear. "Hello, Rangiku-san! We have meeting today. Inform the others. Bye!" She turned the call off and tossed the cell phone towards Toushiro. Fortunately, the lad caught it.
"Oi, don't throw someone's cell phone like that Hinamori!"
...
Toushiro and the rest of his members were gathered in a clubroom, secretly built for their club. Yes, the club they called the 'Guardians' club. And yes everybody, you guessed it well. They were the Guardians of the school.
The club was composed of seven different people, with different personalities and different talents.
First off was the president Toushiro Hitsugaya. His nickname in the club was 'Prodigy'. He was a genius who skipped two grades and could skipped more but he refused too. Reason: He wanted to graduate at the same time as Momo Hinamori and went to college together with her. Why? Because he is in love with her but he didn't have the balls to ask her out. Yes, he was definitely a coward when it comes to love.
Second was one of the vice president, Momo Hinamori. Her nicknamed in the club was the 'Pretender'. She specialized in disguising. She could assume different faces and voices with the use of her skills in make-up and adjusting voice. She's the expert in facades and masquerades. She was definitely aiming for Toushiro but like him, she was coward in love too.
So when will they get together? NO ONE actually knows.
Third was the other vice president, the bubbly and unique, Rangiku Matsumoto. She practically knew everything that goes in and goes out of the school. She specialized in stalking people and discovering anything about them. That's why she was nicknamed, 'Sleuth' in the club. She had hots for Gin Ichimaru but she went 'shhhhhhh' with it every time. So don't go around telling it to Gin or she'd have your head tomorrow.
Fourth was the secretary Gin Ichimaru. The most sly member of the club and was nicknamed 'Snake' because of it. He was the 'hacker' of the group and he was an expert in everything that goes with computer. You could say he's the computer prodigy. He got feelings for Rangiku. But knowing Gin, he wouldn't let her know.
So here's another couple we don't know when will get together.
Fifth on the club was the sports and martial arts expert, Kurosaki Ichigo. He was the treasurer in the club and nicknamed, 'Master'. He excelled in every sports and martial arts like karate, judo, aikido, and the list goes on. He got mixed feelings with Rukia Kuchiki and Orihime Inoue, the one being stalked right now. But believe him, he was not the stalker.
Sixth on the club was the actress and stage performer, the ever naughty, Rukia Kuchiki. She was the auditor of the club, nicknamed, 'Chappy' because she was obsessed to Chappy, the bunny. She had feelings for Ichigo, but was scared to tell him because she thinks he only had set his eyes in Orihime.
The last one was Renji Abarai, the mechanic expert of the group. He was the spokesperson of the club and nicknamed, 'Gundam' because of his ability to fixed things effectively and smoothly. He set his eyes on Rukia so he always argued with Ichigo about it.
Now, back to the story, Toushiro was sitting in his usual chair and looked at his members. "We have to help Inoue-san. The faster the better, 'cause I think this someone who was following her was definitely dangerous." He looked at Rangiku and asked, "Did you get anything from following Inoue-san?"
"Yes...and I think this case was a really sensitive one." Rangiku pulled out her mini notebook and tossed it towards Gin. "Gin, you have to search about this guy. He's really good, considering he kept it from everyone for so long."
Gin flipped the pages of the mini notebook and narrowed his eyes when he saw the name. "I'm on it." He opened his laptop and began typing vigorously.
"For the mean time, let's trap this idiot! He's definitely going to get punishment from scaring the shit out of my childhood friend's best friend," Ichigo spoke up.
"Oh, correction, the stalker would get punishment from scaring the shit out of your crush," Rukia rolled her eyes and smirked, but deep inside, she was screaming and screeching in annoyance. What's with Orihime Inoue that guys go gaga on her including Ichigo?
"Shut it, Chappy!" Ichigo gave her a grin and patted her head. "You're just jealous, aren't you?"
"Who is jealous?" Rukia hollered and stomped on his foot. Ichigo stumbled over with pain.
...
"Ack! Onii-san is an idiot!" Tatsuki Arisawa shouted with rage. "He would definitely get an earful from me once I see him again."
"He really miss you a lot Tatsuki-chan. He was surprised when you moved in a school with dormitory." Orihime smiled at her friend. Her burden decreased a bit when she let it out to her best friend.
"You don't mind me telling my brother your problem, do you? You two were awfully close since we were little. He was worried about you when he found out that you have a stalker," Tatsuki said.
"It's alright. I don't mind. So how was Tohru-kun?" Orihime asked.
"Same old, even when you reject him last month. He never stopped caring for your well being. He said, he'd come any minute if you needed help from your stalker." Tatsuki flipped the pages of her book and looked at her best friend. "Did the guardians already help you?"
"Not yet. I could still feel someone's watching me," Orihime told her and smiled a little. "And tell your brother, he didn't have to worry about me."
"Yes, message confirmed and I would sent him exactly like that later," Tatsuki groaned. "He's being annoying right now so I won't pass your message yet."
...
Orihime was walking through the hallways of the school. She was a little at ease knowing that she already sent a message of help towards the guardians. She was sure they were going to help her at some point. All she needed to do was to wait.
She felt her cell phone vibrated in her pocket so she fished it out. She opened her message and her eyes widened. The texts were seemingly dancing in front of her eyes.
How dare you rat on me on the guardians!
"How did he know?" She dropped her cell phone on the floor again and felt dizzy all of the sudden. Then she blacked out.
Somewhere, a man covered in shadows was smirking. "You can't get away from me, my princess."
