I'm giving a heads up here I've only ever watched Bleach in English dub not sub so I'm not used to using Japanese terms for them and when it comes to spelling so please forgive me. I wanted to add something; the characters in here are going to be a bit OC and as for Sakura's personality it will all soon be explained why she's acting like this in future chapters if you still don't get it.
Read and Enjoy
The next two days had gone by pretty normal for him well as normal as it could be for him; there weren't any hollow attacks so that was as close to day off he was getting even though he still had school. He still couldn't stop thinking about that afternoon; there was something nagging him in the back of the head but he couldn't place it. Sakura had arrived at school in her usual calm; cold mood; the guys were still drooling over her like she was a piece of meat but she didn't seem to notice any of them. She constantly seemed to be looking at a book or writing or even on her phone but he hadn't actually seen her talking to anyone not that he was stalking her she was just in all his classes and she wasn't hard to spot being the only girl in school with pink hair. A teacher had actually warned her that dying her hair that kind of colour wasn't allowed but shut up after she told him it was natural he had the same problem when he first came here; his dad had to actually confirm with them that it was his real hair colour god he felt like just dying that day but he wondered how Sakura had gotten off so easily.
Orihime and some of her friends had wanted to ask Sakura if she wanted to have lunch with them but during lunch break Sakura had just seemed to disappear; it hadn't seemed like she made any friends. Though she seemed rather quiet whenever the girls tried to talk to her she didn't drop her stoic act or tone towards them and towards him when they had science today so he would try and figure out why she was behaving like this it almost seemed like she was trying to keep her distance from people right now. Well second break had started and as usual she was gone he wondered where she went?
Sakura sighed; she had half an hour to make sure there weren't any hollows running around town before heading back so she could eat her lunch; she was starving! She hadn't gotten to eat first break because she knew that there were going to be hollow attacks; Sakura didn't know how but before time she could feel when one of those monsters would attack so she always showed up ahead. She didn't know how she had this power; she didn't know who gave them to her she didn't know much about it all she knew was that she had to kill those monsters because she saw what they could do and that was all she had ever done with her power.
Sakura saw the hollow emerging near the park before it could even get it's body out of the portal she had taken its head off with a single stroke; she felt around for a while for any signs of other hollows coming and sighed in relief nothing for today which means if she headed back now she would get fifteen minutes break!
Sakura arrived back at school coming up from the roof quickly changing back into her visible form before settling down where she had left her lunch and her books but when she turned around it wasn't there.
"Huh?" she said looking from side to side "My lunch!"
"Did you hear that?" she heard a voice ask
Sakura placed a hand over her mouth and peered behind the wall on the other side of the roof where she saw Ichigo and his friends sitting; she looked at Ichigo and saw him…..holding her lunch and her book bag!
'Shoot' she thought; her stomach softly growled 'Waaaah now I won't get to eat and I can't let them know I'm here; I better get going' she thought glumly as she jumped off the roof and landed softly on the ground bellow; no one was at the back of the school so it was fine. She slumped down and sat there for a while waiting; her name was on the books and on the lunch time so she was sure Ichigo would be returning it to her during their last period now all she had to do was wait.
Her stomach growled again; Sakura twitched and pulled at her hair "Easier said than done when you're this hungry"
Soon enough though the bell had gone and it was last period so she could get her things by Ichigo; god she hoped he still had it. Sakura saw Ichigo sitting there already with his head turned to the window. She wondered why he was always looking over there all the time.
"Oh hey" Ichigo greeted he held out her bag and lunch "This is yours right?"
Sakura pretended to be calm about it when she replied though when she was hungry she was usually very pissed "Yeah thanks" she said taking it from him swiftly "I guess I forgot I left it"
She just had to calm her stomachs cries to be filled; soon the teacher arrived and told them to start preparing for their assignments. While the other students were already chatting about some talking about their work others were taking up their 'free period' with small talk to fill in the time.
"So" Ichigo started after a while "Do you have any thoughts on the assignment"
Sakura tilted her head slightly in a thinking manner but with a bit of a scowl on her face "Well let me see….we have to do an observation experiment then write up a report that shouldn't take too long to do; are you able to come by this Saturday still?"
"Sure" Ichigo replied
"Should we work on it at your house?" Sakura asked
Ichigo thought about it for a while; let's see if they went to his house his sisters wouldn't really get in the way when he thinks about it; Karin would be out most likely playing soccer with her friends and Yuzu…probably doing the chores at home or playing with her dolls and his dad….at that mental thought he instantly tensed; let's see thinking about what happen every time he brought a girl home…..
'HELL NO!' he thought
"N-No how about I just come over to you?" he asked
Sakura nodded; she leaned down on her desk and placed her hand under her chin "Sure but we have to do it this Saturday I'm kinda swamped a lot on the weekends"
"Don't you ever take a break?" Ichigo asks with a glint of concern in his eyes
"Well…I like to move around a lot" she replied. If he knew what she was really up to like fighting hollows she wouldn't know what he would think (remember he doesn't know shes' a soul reaper yet)
Sakura wrote down her address and gave him her phone number "Thanks" she nodded and turned her attention back to her bag; she took out an art book and started to draw. Ichigo peered over her shoulder slightly she was drawing…...what looked like a sword no it was a scythe.
"Wow that's really good" Ichigo complemented causing Sakura to jump
"Geez don't do that and don't watch" she said
Ichigo frowned at her "Hey I was just complimenting you; don't know why you're always so hostile"
"I'm not" she shot back
"Oh yeah" he asked her sarcastically
They sat in silence for a while; Sakura closed her sketch book and the two of them stared at each other well more like glared; as they did Ichigo started to think that there was something he wanted to say to her but now he couldn't recall what it was until the bell rang ten seconds later. Sakura turned her attention back to the front of the class and stood up; she grabbed her things and headed out the class after saying bye to him that's when he suddenly remembered. He wanted to ask her where she disappeared to every lunch break; he figured that she had to be on the roof now since he found her bag and lunch there but…..he usually sits up there with his friends and he doesn't recall seeing her coming or going for the past two days there he was sure he would've noticed.
'What's with her?' he thought 'And why the hell am I so interested?' he wondered suddenly
The last few days had just flown by; Ichigo hadn't had a lot of hollow attacks and usually when he arrived at the place the hollows spiritual pressures were long gone and nothing was left of it. He wondered if they went back before they came; it was a strange development but it wasn't like he was complaining although if they kept this up he was going to run out of practice. At school though he tried not to; he noticed that Sakura was still always on her own; she didn't seem to open up to anyone and was cold and distant from them.
"Another one gone" Ichigo asked irritated at the fact that he had just run over to the park for nothing again and while leaving Kon in his body to continue to damage his reputation. He sighed and flash stepped back to school as he flew over the school building he spotted Sakura on the roof but it was behind the extra equipment shed; so that was where she was every break well at least now he knew where to find her. It looked like she was just about to start eating her lunch now yet the bell had gone nearly ten minutes ago. He spotted Kon and the others as well they were in the gardens; he wanted to get back into his body as soon as possible then maybe he could catch Sakura before she disappeared again and before the bell rang. And without wasting any time he had done just that he ran over to Kon and returned to his body before bolting into the building trying to get to the roof but before he could get there the bell had gone and it was time for class.
'Maybe another time' he thought then quickly snapped 'Why the heck do I care so much?'
Ichigo cursed he realised his next class was on the other side of the building and if he was late he was going to detention and it was not something you wanted on a Friday; without noticing really where he was going he felt something bump into him and saw a flash of pink. He looked down and saw Sakura sitting on the floor with her books having fallen out of her bag.
She looked up at him with her usual stoic expression "Sorry; guess I didn't watch where I was going" she said standing up calmly and dusting herself off and standing up; she picked up her book bag and flung it over her shoulder.
That was a bit of a surprise for Ichigo; when you see the way Sakura's been acting you would think she was the rude type or the kind that lost their temper quickly but it turned out she was just stoic and blunt not just to others but to herself as well.
Ichigo didn't know why but something about the way she behaved just seemed interesting; it was probably because he couldn't figure her out "You alright?" he asked
She brushed him off and nodded and then looked at him through narrowed eyes "Um shouldn't you be heading to class?" she asked suddenly looking at the clock
He suddenly freaked "Oh no that's right" he was about to run off before he turned to say bye to Sakura but when he turned around she was gone and he wondered suddenly how she moved so fast. Maybe she was late for class as well? Oh who was he kidding she could just use the 'I got lost excuse' she would be fine; him on the other hand looks like his weekend was going to start an hour late literally.
"Hey Ichigo welcome home" Yuzu greeted as Ichigo came into the house
"Hey Yuzu where's Karin?" he asked looking around for his dark haired tomboy sister
"Oh she's out still playing a match" Yuzu replied "I'm making stew for dinner"
"Alright" Ichigo said going into his room
Turning on his light Ichigo threw his bag to the corner of the room and landed on his bed letting out a huge sigh; it was getting really boring not being able to kill Hollows and there hasn't been much activity after the Bounts incident and no one had any leads on Aizen this was getting so boring without being able to use his powers but in a way it was still calming as well though he really needed the practice.
"Geez is someone else killing them off?" he thought
"Ichigo" Kon shouted coming out of his back pack "Why'd you do that? I was still in there!"
"Shut up Kon" Ichigo ordered suddenly getting in a bad mood "I'm not in the mood for this"
"AH you stupid-
"Yuzu" Ichigo shouted suddenly and in she came with an apron on and a spoon in her hand.
"Something wrong?" she asked
"I found your doll" he said pointing to Kon who was glaring at him as he lied still on the floor pretending to be a lifeless stuffed animal.
"Oh there it is" she said happily taking it in her arms and walking away quickly out of her brother's room.
Ichigo sighed at least that left him for a bit of peace and quiet until Kon snuck out of his sisters room; he heard his phone start ringing in his pocket; he flipped it and answered.
"Hello?" he heard a female's voice at the end of the phone
"Hey Ichigo It's Sakura" she greeted "Are you still going to be able to make it tomorrow?"
"Oh hey Sakura" Ichigo swore he felt his heart beat suddenly "Yeah it's fine why are you busy?"
"No" he heard her reply calmly "It's fine I just wanted to make sure you were still coming what time by the way?"
"How about 10?" he asked
"Ok" Sakura replied
"Ok" Ichigo said "I'll see you there"
"Yeah bye" Sakura replied hanging up straight after
"Bye" Ichigo said looking at the screen
Well there you have it hope you enjoyed another chapter will be coming up
