Unexpected
Chapter 2: In the Alleyway
Hitsugaya and Hinamori had been waiting at the bus stop for a few minutes now. Only two other people were waiting at the bus stop. The first one appeared to be quite young; she had light brown hair down to her shoulders with eyes to match and was a few inches shorter than Hitsugaya. While the other one had ebony black hair down to her waist, and dark brown eyes. She was only a few centimetres shorter than Hitsugaya she seemed reasonably older than the other girl. The one with black hair was casually leaning against the post, her arms tucked in, trying to keep warm as it was a very cold morning. The shorter girl was having a conversion with Hinamori. From the sounds of it the girl's name was Yuzu. The tall one suddenly spoke, surprising everyone. 'Guys the bus is coming.' She had a reasonably deep voice but it was undoubtedly friendly. Everybody picked up their bags and the Tall girl stepped back and allowed everyone to get on the bus before her. Hinamori and Yuzu thanked her while Hitsugaya just nodded.
The bus was incredibly crowded at there was practically no where to sit. Many of the girls were sitting on the boys laps, which sickened Hitsugaya. From the direction of the back of the bus someone was calling Yuzu. 'Hey Yuzu up here there's a spare seat!' Yuzu looked up.
'Hey guys! Do you mind if my new friend joins us?' She was already dragging Hinamori off. Hitsugaya sighed. This was great, just great. Hinamori already had a circle of friends while he had none. Out of the corner of his eye he could see the black haired girl go upstairs, hoping to find seats up there. Hitsugaya followed. There were only two seats available, which were at the front. While Hitsugaya was looking around the girl had sat down. Hitsugaya was annoyed that the only seat was next to her but none of the less he made his way over to her. She looked up as he approached closer. 'Uh…Do you mind if I sit down?' He smiled nervously. The girl smiled, 'feel free.' Hitsugaya sat down. He noticed that the girl had headphones in. She suddenly took them out, 'oh, I'm Kurosaki Karin by the way.' She held out her hand. Hitsugaya took it and shook. 'Hitsugaya Toushiro' Karin smiled. She was wrapping her headphones around her iPod while she spoke. 'So do you know what class you're in?'
'10JS'
'Really? Cool I'm in that class too!' Hitsugaya smiled. He may have a friend…
Karin showed Hitsugaya the way to 10JS's class room 'Ok I don't know where you'll be assigned to sit, there are two spare seats. One of them is next to me and the other one is next to a guy called Akio' Hitsugaya just smiled. He hoped he was assigned to sit next to her. Karin had walked over to what appeared to be her locker. She took out two text books out and put them on her desk. She then took off her coat to reveal a long sleeved cropped top which had the words 'Devil or Angel?' printed on and pitch black jeans which were ripped in certain places. Hitsugaya wondered whether he had made friends with the right person. But then the teacher walked in breaking his train of thought. Everyone hurried to their seat except for a few that didn't seem to care. Karin was included with them and slowly made her way to her seat at her own pace. The teacher spotted Hitsugaya and called him to the front. He slowly made his way, nervous. 'Alright class we have a new student. His name is Hitsugaya Toushiro and he recently moved here in Karakura. I hope you will give him a warm welcome.' A couple of the girls smiled and waved while other class members nodded. 'Anyway he will need someone to help him make his way through the school. Any volunteers?' One or two boys raised their hand while about half of the girls raised theirs. Hitsugaya got the impression he would be popular with the girls, unfortunately. He hated too much attention. During this time the teacher was searching through the sea of hands. 'Ah, Kurosaki, I believe you to be trustworthy.' Karin smiled and winked at Hitsugaya. But there was a sudden uproar. 'Why does she get to do it Sir?'
'Yeah, I mean she's always busy doing extracurricular stuff at lunch!' The teacher stood up and raised his voice. 'Those clubs don't start till next week and besides, I've assigned Hitsugaya to the seat next to her.' The girls were rather annoyed at this conclusion but gave it up, for now…
The registration was done and the teacher gave them 10 minutes to talk because he needed to discuss something with the deputy head outside. A group of 7 girls came over to Karin. 'Hey Kurosaki, stand up.' Karin's face dropped suddenly, she knew what was coming. So did the whole class it seemed as everything fell silent. 'I didn't know you could tell me what to do Sora.' Sora obviously didn't have the patience. She pushed Karin down to the floor. Karin looked ready to murder. 'Bad mistake.' She said angrily. Karin kicked Sora behind her knees making her collapse while she got up. All the boys where cheering on Karin and most of the girls seemed to not know what to do. As for Hitsugaya, he was surprised that all this was happening over him. But then Sora forced Karin up wall, smiled and spoke softly, which made it all the scarier. 'We'll settle this, after school, 5 o'clock the park.' Karin put on a very intimidating look. 'I was under the impression that I made the rules Sora. 4 o'clock in the alleyway near the park. Take it or leave it.' Sora looked scared for a moment.
'But there are gangsters and other people like that!' Karin looked triumphant. 'Yeah…what's your point?' She smiled almost evilly like she was trying to get Sora killed. Sora hesitated for a few seconds but finally agreed. One of the boys ran up to Karin as the crowd cleared. He looked incredibly worried. 'Karin, what were you thinking!? It's dangerous in the alleyway!'
'God Shin, chill!'
'How can I chill when my best friend is putting her life on the line?'
'Listen I know most of the people who hang out in that alleyway they helped when I was being beat up for being different in Elementary, She probably won't show anyway.' Shin still looked worried.
'Yeah, but still…' Karin rolled her eyes and sighed.
'Look I'll be fine, stop worrying about me. Like I said she probably won't show.'
And that's it for now. I will update soon, please review.
