Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Naruto; if I did, Byakuya and Itachi would be mine to play with, and I would make them do obscene things. Ignore. So, this is a cross-fic with Bleach and Naruto, and is AU, yes.
Summary: Ichigo is the new kid at school. He just wants to be left alone, with his insane alternate personality Hichigo. But this other kid, Naruto, and his friends won't leave him alone. And then he meets his senpai, Byakuya, who seems to be just like him, distant, and uncaring of the world. He also meets his sempai Kenpachi, and his sempai Gaara. All three of them are different in their own ways, but all seem drawn to Ichigo. What is it that draws them to him? What is it that makes him drawn to this school, his unusual spiritual power flaring out as if in defense? What do these crazy people in this school want with him?
It was a boarding school. As simple as that. His father had sent him to an all-boy's school, in the hopes that perhaps it would snap him out of his depression-like life.
Of course, his father had no way of knowing that it was really living that caused his depression.
The world in which Kurosaki Ichigo lived in was not forgiving. The people that surrounded him just spent their days going about their business, uncaring of the problems of others.
After a while, he'd gotten used to it; now, he became one of those people. He only cared about himself. Well, himself and the creature that lived inside of him.
These kids in this boarding school wouldn't understand. They hadn't begun to lose their insanity at a young age; they didn't have an insane creature living inside their mind.
But Ichigo no longer cared. He'd learned long ago to surpress the often violent urges that overcame him, to make sure he didn't talk about his alternate personality. It would be hard, at first, here at St. Mark's School For Men, but he'd survive.
After all, he was Kurosaki Ichigo, son of the great Kurosaki Isshin, who ran the infamous hospital in Japan.
And he was also Shirosaki Hichigo, who lived inside of him, and became his darker side. Both of them inhabited his body, a body with unusual spiritual powers. But he welcomed the difference from others; it gave him a reason to isolate himself from others. Which was what he planned on doing here at St. Mark's School For Men.
Sighing, Ichigo straightened the uncomfortable tie that choked him, before tucking his crisp white shirt into his black pants. He ran a hand through his bright orange hair, brushing the bangs out of his light brown eyes.
Hey, King, you excited about your first day of school?
Ichigo flinched at the distorted voice of his albino half; he hadn't been expecting Hichigo to speak yet.
No, I'm not. Why would I be excited about something so trivial as school?
Ichigo thought to Hichigo, stretching his 5 foot 9 form. His back popped, but it felt good.
Dang, King, you're in a pissy mood. Say, you should-oops, I think it's time you go.
Ichigo frowned, but heard the bell that signified his first class was going to start in 5 minutes. Grabbing the black bookbag he'd brought for class, he composed himself before walking out of his dorm room, only to walk straight into a person who'd been standing outside his dorm room door.
"Watch it." Ichigo growled, his mood still sour.
"Oh, sorry. I was just waiting for you to come out." The somewhat high-pitched voice threw Ichigo for a loop.
Looking down, he spotted a short kid about 17, his age, standing from his prone position on the floor. He had blond hair and sparkling blue eyes, and wore the white shirt and black pants of the school, but with a bright orange tie.
"...Why were you waiting for me?" Ichigo asked, a scowl on his face.
The boy laughed a little half-heartedly, before sticking out his hand.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. And you're Kurosaki Ichigo. I was told that you have almost every class with me, so I'm expected to help you find your way." The boy laughed, his annoying, almost whiney voice raising again in pitch.
Hehe, stalker-like. Cool.
Ichigo ignored Hichigo's sinister laugh, instead following Naruto down the long hall to their first class. He was already sure today would suck.
Well, here's the first chapter! This will eventually be, probably, either an Ichigo/Byakuya fic, or an Ichigo/Kenpachi fic. Or even an Ichigo/Gaara! That would be so cool! What do you guys think? Should I continue? Oh, and tell me which couple you'd prefer to see! I do take flames cause they keep me warm in the blizzard that's going on right now!
