Ichigo was in his room studying for a test, when he looked at the clock he realized that he didn't have a lot of time left before he was late for school. He grabbed his stuff and headed off to school in a hurry. When he entered the classroom, he caught a surprise. There stood five Shinigami that had came to his school before, yet there was a new face. It was the second captain that Ichigo fought against, the 28th head of the Kuchiki clan; Byakuya Kuchiki. The only time Byakuya had left the Soul Society
Ichigo approached them, "Byakuya, what the hell are you doing here? I thought Captains had responsibilites."
"Don't get involved in my business, Ichigo Kurosaki. All you should know is that I needed a break from the Soul Society, it is no more and no less than that."
"I'm surprised you even came here, I guess I'll be the one to show you arou-"
"I don't need your help, boy. I can find my own way around this academy without your consent."
The sixth captain walked off somewhere and ignored Ichigo, leaving him pissed at what Byakuya had just said. Ichigo wanted to tell Byakuya off and give the noble a piece of his mind until Renji put his hand on Ichigo's shoulder.
"Calm down Ichigo, and keep this between you and me; Captain Kuchiki might be a head of a noble family, and a great fighter, but he doesn't have a sense of direction at all."
"Thanks for that Renji, but I've got a question: What are you all doing here anyway? Is there another threat?"
"I'll fill you in later, we oughta just sit down for now."
Ichigo nodded his head and the entire class at down, Byakuya still hadn't come back. While the teacher was teaching, Ichigo wondered in his mind. "What are they doing here? Why would they just come to the World of the Living all of a sudden?"
While he was thinking, a paper airplane came towards his way, Ichigo caught it right before it reached his face. When the teacher wasn't looking, Ichigo opened it up. It was from Rangiku.
Hey Ichigo! It's been a while, how've you been?
He glared at Rangiku, which was a signal to stop. She just replied by rolling her eyes, Ichigo went back to paying attention to the teacher's lecture until more notes came towards him asking all kinds of questions, he just ignored them until one came directed at his head and that was the last straw. He glared at her one more time, but she just giggled. For the final time, she threw note in the form of a paper ball and it hit his cheek.
"Damn it! Just stop!" Ichigo shouted, the entire classroom gasped at his outburst.
The teacher threw an eraser at his forehead, and replied "Well, if you don't like my teaching then you can leave. You have a detention too."
"W-wait, you don't understand. She-"
"Detention."
"Fine."
Ichigo glared at Rangiku who just acted as if nothing happened. He was pissed.
After a while of teaching, Ichigo was going to go to the school rooftop where Ichigo normally ate lunch. However, he had a lot on his mind and he wanted to eat by himself. Yet, the Shinigami had nowhere to go since the school was so big and they relied on Ichigo as a sort of guide. He turned around and noticed they followed his every movement and location. To the office, his locker, and even the bathroom. When Ichigo finally began to acsend the stairs, he turned around.
"Why the hell are you guys following me?" Ichigo asked.
"You're the one who knows this place better than any of us. We must rely on you for directions, Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Yeah, yeah. Just head up these stairs and we'll be on the rooftop, and you can just call me Ichigo. And I thought you could find your own way Byakuya."
Byakuya grew irritated. "Funny, I don't recall us being on a first name basis Ichigo Kurosaki. And one more thing; how long do you plan on saying my name without adding the proper suffix to-"
Ichigo interrupted, "Alright, we're here."
They all sat down and began to eat, and Rangiku sat next to Ichigo. He wanted nothing more than for her to piss off since she got him a detention for her childish actions during class and he had to spend two hours after school inside the building.
"Hey Ichigo."
"What do you want?"
"Calm down! Why can't you be nice to me? It's been a long time since we've seen each other and I thought you'd be happy to see me." Rangiku said.
"You got an eraser thrown at my head and a detention, piss off." Ichigo said with a serious tone in his voice.
"Well how else was I supposed to get your attention? You were too busy and I didn't wanna bother you."
A tic mark formed on Ichigo's head, "You could've waited until after class, but I'll forgive you this time. I didn't feel like being in there today anyway."
Rangiku laid her head on Ichigo's shoulder, Ichigo couldn't complain. He actually enjoyed her company.
"Ichigo, I wanted to ask you something though. Do you-"
"Lieutenant Matsumoto." Byakuya interrupted.
Rangiku suddenly lifted her head off of Ichigo's shoulder and turned her attention to Byakuya.
"Yes Captain Kuchiki?"
"Why are you trying to seduce Ichigo Kurosaki? You have no means of doing so."
"Well I just wanted to have a bit of fun, that's all."
They continued with the normal lunch routine, Rangiku was still sitting very close to Ichigo. Yet he didn't mind, Byakuya was on his knees doing some calligraphy, Yumichika was reading a book, Ikakku was sleeping (wtf)? Renji was just relaxing.
"Y'know Byakuya, this isn't art class."
Byakuya glared at Ichigo, "And your point is?"
"You're just not being...normal. You don't paint shit during a lunch period."
"I prefer a banana."
"Alright then, take mine."
Ichigo offered his banana to Byakuya who just looked at it, then Ichigo. He actually wanted to eat it, but he refused to accept anything from the World of the Living.
"I don't like the way you're holding it." Byakuya said angrily but calmly.
"Eat it." Ichigo growled.
"You did something to it, didn't you?"
"Eat it."
"I don't trust you, Ichigo Kurosaki."
Ichigo snapped, "Will you just eat the damn thing!?"
"Why are you trying so hard to impress me Ichigo Kurosaki?"
Ichigo grew a vein on his forehead, "It's my way of being nice to you"
"A banana wouldn't be considered a proper gift.
"Byakuya you're pissing me-"
"Once again, not on a first name basis."
Ichigo had enough, he threw the banana off of the school roof and let out a sigh. He gave up on trying to be nice to Byakuya since he was acting like a dick. Byakuya scoffed and went back to doing calligraphy.
"I wanted that banana you know."
Ichigo wanted nothing more than to blow up at this point in time. But he decided that it wasn't worth it right now, he sat back down next to Rangiku and began conversing with her. He was a little pissed by what she had did, Rukia looked over but she just ignored it because she knew Ichigo didn't have a chance with her.
"I don't know about them, but I did." She gave him a kiss on the cheek, and winked at him, Ichigo's face became as red as Renji's hair.
Ikakku looked over, "What the hell is wrong with you Ichigo? Rangiku, what did you do to the boy?"
"Shut up baldy, it was just a kiss on the cheek! I haven't seen him in forever." Rangiku said with her usual tone of voice.
Ikakku laughed at Ichigo, thinking that it was hopeless for Ichigo to be with Rangiku. "Ichigo, I'll tell you this man to boy. If you succeded with Rangiku, you'd have a few men trying to kill you y'know."
Ichigo's eyes opened wide. "Who would be the few?"
Yumichika glared at Ikakku, with both of them being good friends he knew that Ikakku had a knack for saying things he shouldn't say and he'd get punished for it. "Ikakku, you'd better stop now while you still have the chance. Women can be feisty sometimes."
"Don't worry about it Yumichika, it'll take a second. Anyway Ichigo, when I say a few I mean every Soul Reaper who's laid eyes on her. Especially a few lieutenants if you know who I'm talking about."
Rangiku threw her shoe at Ikakku's face and he was left with a bloody nose. "Shut up Ikakku!"
Yumichika scoffed, "Having Rangiku's shoe thrown at you...I've been there. You should've listened Ikakku, you actually ask for people to attack you. I remember how Lieutenant Kusajishi punished you when you commented on her sense of direction."
Rangiku raised one eyebrow, "Oh really? In that case, I wonder what she'll do if she finds out you're in the business of others."
Ikakku glared at Rangiku, "I'll remember that the next time you screw up and I'll see what Captain Hitsugaya says."
