"Oy! Tora! Wake up!" Ichigo yelled at me. "We're gonna be late for school!"

"Wha-" I was cut off by Ichigo hitting me with a pillow. "Ugh! Knock it off Ichigo! I'm getting up!" I glared at my twin. He snickered and walked across the hall to his room.

I ran a brush through my straight black hair, and threw on my school uniform. I slammed into my brother on the way to the bathroom.

"Oof! Watch it Tora! And cut your hair already!" he called after me as I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I leapt down the stairs, and found Yuzu, Karin, and Ichigo waiting for me at the breakfast table.

"Wait a second...where's da-" I started.

"GOOD MOOOOOORNING TORA!" my idiot father screamed, flying at me with his foot ready to kick.

I grabbed his foot and flipped him over onto the wood floor. "Mornin'". I sat down at the table while Yuzu dished out our eggs. Dad sat down across from Ichigo with blood running down his face.

"Eat quick Tora. I don't want to be late because of you." Ichigo teased. I rolled my eyes and smacked the back of his head in response.

"C'mon bro. We gotta go. Orihime wanted to walk with me today." I stood up without waiting for Ichigo to answer, and walked out the door. Ichigo ran out after me, yelling and waving my school bag around. I heard him growl and sprint to catch up with me.

"Tora-san!" Orihime yelled happily. "Let's walk!" I smiled at her bubbly attitude and nodded. "I heard that we're gonna have a new student today! Isn't it exciting?!"

"I'll try to contain my joy." I smirked. Orihime pouted.

"Aren't you ever happy, Tora-san?!"

I thought about it for a second. "Yes. I'm happy when I'm boxing, and when I'm with my friends, and when I make sensei angry."

"Cheh. Why are you happy when you make sensei angry Tora?" Ichigo snorted.

"Oh! Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime smiled brightly.

"What?!" I yelped. "Why's he kun, and I'm san?!"

Orihime's face paled. "Well-I-um...he...you-I..." Ichigo started laughing.
"It's because I'm nice." he stuck his tongue out at me.

If I had a drink I would've done a spit take. "You're nice?! You have a permanent scowl on your face!"

"So do you!" he scowled.

"At least I smile sometimes!" I defended myself.

"Your smile scares more people than your scowl!" he retorted. I was about to throw a punch at him, but muscular arms lifted me up.

I heard Ichigo laughing and Orihime scolding someone. Then I heard a deep, gruff voice say, "Tora, you shouldn't fight your brother. Appreciate him."

"Yeah Tora, appreciate me." Ichigo said smirking at me.

I growled dangerously. "Sado! Let me down! I'll kill him! Ichigo you son of a-"

"Yay! We're here!" Orihime called out, laughing nervously. Sado didn't put me down until we had gotten into the classroom. He gently placed me in my seat and then sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry for that Tora." he said softly.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and glared at the front of the room. I managed to ignore all of Sado's pleading.

"Tora-san! You look gorgeous!" Keigo's annoying voice screeched. I looked up to see Sado's fist in Keigo's face. I raised an eyebrow. Sado never hits Keigo.

"Don't touch her." Ichigo and Sado growled simultaneously. I couldn't help but smile at them. Sado was practically an older brother to me, and Ichigo was my older brother. Only by two minutes, but he was still my big bro.

"Alright students!" our teacher yelled over the noise of the class. We all settled down and took our seats. "We have a new student! Please treat him nicely!"

A tall, obviously muscular, blue haired boy walked in. Wow. He's kinda hot...nope! Stop it Tora! You will not be one of those girls! You need to focus on boxing.

"Alright young man. How about you tell us your name and your age." sensei said cheerfully.

"Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. I'm...16." he said. He had a really deep voice. I could've sworn I saw half the girls in the room swoon when he spoke. I rolled my eyes.

"Well Mr. Jeagerjaques, why don't you take the empty seat next to Miss. Kurosaki. Tora, raise your hand." groaning inwardly, I raised my hand.

Grimmjow plopped himself down next to me.

"Miss. Kurosaki!" sensei yelped.

I looked up at her lazily. "What?"

"What on earth are you wearing?!"

"Um...my uniform?" I said dumbly.

"Stand up!" I stood. "You're wearing a studded belt, your tie is undone, black nail polish, your shirt is unbuttoned too far down, and your socks are far too short!"

"I'm not breaking any school rules. The rules say that you must wear the tie. I'm wearing it. I must wear socks. I'm wearing 'em. There are no rules about belts or nail polish. And all the rule book says about shirts, is that you must wear one. And I am."

Her face slowly started to turn red. "Are you sassing me?!"

"No. I am simply proving that you're wrong."

"Would you like detention Tora?!" she practically screamed.

"Not particularly."

"If you don't stop sassi-" she was cut off by my brother leaping to his feet and pushing me back into my seat. He stood in front of me.

"I'm so sorry for my sister's behavior! She didn't mean it!"

"You're lucky that your brother's a good student, Miss. Kurosaki." she started to walk back to the front of the room.

"What?! I get better grades than-" Ichigo slapped his hand over my mouth and glared at me. I mumbled into his hand and looked at Sado who was trying not to laugh.

Ichigo finally went back to his seat and Sado started chuckling under his breath. "Shut up." I hissed. I took out my notebook to take notes. When the bell finally rangp for lunch I didn't even get up. I closed my eyes, and mentally prepared myself for getting chewed out by Ichigo. Orihime bounced over to me and started chattering about what she had for lunch, and then started yanking on my arm.

"Okay, okay I'm coming." I sighed.

"Hey! Grimmjow-san! Do you want to come eat with us on the roof?" I turned to look at him. He seemed surprised at her question.

"You don't have to..ow!" Orihime elbowed me in the ribs. "Okay? You don't have a choice?" I rubbed my side. Orihime smiled brightly, and giggled.

"C'mon Grimmjow-san!" she grabbed his arm and pulled both of us to the roof. The rest of the group was already there. Rukia, Renji, Ichigo, Keigo, Tatsuki, and Sado looked at Orihime as she slammed the door open and dragged me and Grimmjow onto the roof.

As soon as Ichigo saw me, he stood up angrily and started yelling. "What the hell were you thinking?! She already hates you! Do want to give her another reason to fail you? C'mon Tora! I'm not always gonna be there to bail you out!"

I rolled my eyes. "Ichigo, my dearest brother, I do not care if she likes me! I get good grades! I don't get why she hates me!"

Renji laughed and said, "Maybe it's because you're so god damned snarky all the time."

I glared at Renji, and then smiled evilly. "H-hey...what are you doing?!" he asked, eyeing me nervously. I pounced on him and started tickling his sides.

"A-ah! Tora! S-stop it!" he said in between laughs. Everyone except Grimmjow was laughing too, Grimmjow was staring at me.

"Take a picture. It'll last longer." Tatsuki snapped at him. His eyes just about popped from his head.

"What?!" his face started to get red from anger. I laughed and told him to calm down.

Rukia started to giggle, and we all looked at her in confusion. "Look at Renji's face! It's as red as his hair!" everyone laughed again.

"I wouldn't look like this if you'd get off me!" I looked down and realized the awkward position we were in.

"Woah!" I jumped off him like he was fire. After we had all settled down, and Ichigo had practically shoved food down my throat, Orihime spoke up.

"So Grimmjow-san, where'd you move from?"

"Far away." he said in his ridiculously deep voice. Before Orihime could ask any more questions, the bell rang.
