I do not own Frozen or Bleach.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Elsa opened her eyes and looked around the still darkened room.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
She sat up and searched for the source of the beeping sound. She spot it on the edge of the desk beside her bed.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP—*
Elsa threw the blankets off of her while trying to remember where she was. 'Right. I am in Japan. I'm on a student exchange for my last year of high school. And I just got here yesterday. And today I have school. Great.' Elsa stood and stretched. She felt refreshed.
'Good to hear.' Elsa nearly fell over when the voice suddenly popped into her head. 'Sorry. Forgot how long it takes you to actually wake up in the morning.' The voice laughed as Elsa regained her balance.
'Brother. Be nice. She has never been one to rise early. And neither are you.' Another voice joined the first. It wasn't as deep, but it definitely had more authority to it. 'Ignore him, Elsa-sama. He is usually like this in the morning.'
'It's okay. I just need to get used to their being voices in my head.' Elsa turned on her light before checking the time on the clock. 6:30 am. 'Why do I have to get up this early!?' Elsa spotted a note beside the clock.
'Dear Onee-chan,
I hope you slept well. You looked so peaceful that Karin and I decided to let you sleep. If you are reading this before your alarm went off, there is a plate of food for you in the fridge. You just need to heat it up. If your alarm did go off. I set it so you had enough time to shower and get dressed before having breakfast. I ironed and laid out a uniform on the chest at the end of your bed for you.
Onii-chan will walk you to school. Since Karin and I go to a different school that isn't in the same direction. He will also be taking you out to lunch. Today is only a half day since school festivals are starting. School starts at 7:30.
Yuzu.'
Elsa put down the note and pulled out her bathroom bag. She pulled out her peppermint shampoo, conditioner, and soaps. 'Time to start the day.'
Elsa didn't take long despite her massive amount of hair. She had it up in her usual braided bun before heading back to her room.
She examined the uniform laid out for her. The socks went to her knees and the skirt went to just above her knee. The button up shirt fit just fine, but she wasn't a fan of the collar. She sighed as she tied the red ribbon into a loose bow around her neck. She slid the jacket on last before looking at herself in the mirror.
'This uniform is weird.' Elsa didn't feel uncomfortable, just a but constrained.
'It because it isn't like the uniform at the Academy.' The deeper voice replied with a chuckled.
'Yeah. This is nothing like the uniforms at Shin'o Academy-' Elsa stood still. She remembered the name of the school? She smiled as she bent down to pick up the school bag that was beside the chest. "Looks like I'm ready to go. Please no memories during school. I would rather not be considered a freak. Or a lazy bum."
'Okay. But you're the one talking to yourself right now.' Elsa could have growled, but she heard a slapping sound. 'What was that for!?'
'We will remain silent, Elsa-sama.' Elsa nodded to herself as the voices in her head quieted.
She opened the door and happily walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Morning Yuzu-chan."
"Morning Onee-chan!" Yuzu turned from the stove and smiled at her temporary sister. She liked the idea of having a sister for a year. "Breakfast is almost done. Did you sleep well?"
"I slept very well. Thank you for letting me sleep." Else took a seat at the counter. "Sorry for missing out on dinner."
"Don't worry about it." Yuzu continued to cook while talking. "You had a long trip. And today is your first day. So it's good that you are well rested. And I couldn't bring myself to wake you. You looked so happy. Like you were having a really good dream."
Elsa smiled remembering the previous night. "Yeah. It was a good dream."
"So sleeping beauty is awake?" Elsa looked towards the gruff voice that was speaking. "Didn't think you were ever going to wake up. You didn't when we knocked and didn't even stir when we walked in. You were sleeping like the dead." Ichigo scratched his head as he took a seat beside the temporary addition to their family. But it wasn't like he lived in that house anymore. He had a new life now.
"Oi!" Elsa and Ichigo turned towards the voice as a bag hit Ichigo in the face. "Don't tell a girl she sleeps like the dead! It has no class! And it is rude, Ichinii!" Karin glared at her brother as she took the seat on the other side of Elsa.
"Breakfast!" Yuzu placed a plate in front of each of her siblings. She placed another on the other side of Karin for herself and one on the stove for their father. "Eat up."
"Thank you for the food, Yuzu." The three at the counter spoke before digging into their food.
Elsa finished rather quickly. She hadn't realized how hungry she was. She placed her plate in the sink. "I will take care of that!" Elsa turned and smiled at Yuzu. "You should get to school."
"Okay. You ready to go, Ichigo-kun?" Elsa picked up her bag and walked to the door. She found her shoes with a bright blue sticky note on them.
"Yeah. And just call me Ichigo." Ichigo slipped his sneakers on. He hadn't walked to his old high school in a few years. "It's not that long of a walk, but hardly anyone ever takes the route. I'm sure you'll remember it for tomorrow." Ichigo walked outside and held the door open for Elsa. "How do you get your hair like that?"
Elsa ran a hand over her braided bun. "I've always done it like this. My mother showed me how, I guess."
"You guess?" Ichigo looked at her curiously. She seemed sad all of a sudden.
"I don't remember much of her. She died when I was young, and we didn't speak to each other much." Elsa couldn't remember her mother from this world. But she knew the one in her world. So she guessed she had based that mother off of her real one.
"Our mother died when we were young too. Karin and Yuzu were very young, but we all loved her." Ichigo hadn't realized the girl was so similar. She seemed to be very proper. "What does your father think about you studying abroad?"
"I'm sure he would have frowned upon it. But since he isn't around either. I had to make the decision on my own." Elsa smiled sadly. She didn't know why she was opening up. But she guessed it was because she was tired of keeping it all in. "I've been on my own for about 4 years now."
"You don't have any siblings?" Ichigo felt bad for the girl. She must have been lonely.
'I don't think so.' Ichigo was surprised to hear his zanpakutou voice an opinion. 'Look closely at her. She has a strong reiryoku. There is a strong chance she has a zanpakutou spirit.'
Ichigo noticed the cold presence around Elsa. 'It rivals Toshiro's cold attitude.'
Elsa walked quietly before answering. "No. But I wasn't lonely. I always had someone around." Elsa smiled thinking of her past. He would probably think she was crazy if she started talking about them and having strange powers.
"That's good. Losing your parents is hard. We still have our dad, but he is a bit of an idiot. But he is there for us when we need it." Ichigo still didn't expect much from his father, but knew he could rely on him when he needed to.
The two walked in comfortable silence till they reached the school gate.
"The office is straight through those doors and to the right. Tell them who you are and they will show you to your class." Ichigo pointed to the doors of the school. "I'll be standing here when you get out for lunch. That will probably be when everyone heads back to their home room to work on things for the festival. See you then." Ichigo waved good bye as Elsa walked toward at he school.
Elsa walked straight to the school building. She could feel eyes on her as she walked. She guessed it was because of her hair. She didn't see anyone else with hair as lightly coloured as hers. She walked into the office and waited for the receptionist to return to her desk.
"Hello dear. How may I help you?" Elsa smiled gently at the old women that walked out from one of the back rooms.
"I'm Arendelle Elsa. Today is my first day as a transfer student." Elsa didn't know what else she needed to tell her.
"Oh yes! I have your schedule right here." The secretary handed Elsa a sheet of paper. "You are in class 3B. Your classroom is on the third floor. Have a wonderful day. And if you need anything or have any question, ask your class president. She will be able to help you out best." The secretary gave the girl a smile as she left the office.
Elsa walked out of the office and looked down at her time table. She had home room first. Then she had math, English, and chemistry before lunch. She found a staircase as she walked around and headed up to the third floor.
She found her classroom and looked inside curiously. She could see most of her classmates already in their seats. She wasn't sure where she would be sitting.
"Are you the exchange student?" Elsa looked towards the woman talking to her. She guessed it was the teacher.
"Yes. Arendelle Elsa, sensei." Elsa have the woman a smile as she bowed.
"Well class is about to start. So why don't you write your name on the board. Then when class starts you can introduce yourself." The teacher smiled at her new student as she handed her a piece of chalk.
Elsa took the chalk and walked over to the board. She wrote her name out as best as she could. She wanted to make a good impression.
The bell rang and all of the students filed into the classroom and took their seats. Elsa stood at the front of the class and waited.
"Good morning students. We have an exchange student joining us for the rest of the year. This is Arendelle Elsa. Did I pronounce that right?" They teacher looked at Elsa questioningly. She had a very interesting name.
"Yes. Please take care of me." Elsa bowed to her classmates and gave them a small smile.
"You can take the open seat behind Fuki-kun, Arendelle-san." The teacher indicated to the open seat in her class.
"Thank you, sensei." Elsa walked down the row towards her seat. She sat down and hung her bag on the hook beside her desk. She pulled out the notebook and pencils she found in it. 'This might be fun."
Elsa was so happy when the lunch bell ran. Math was terrible, she didn't understand a word of it. English was okay, but still difficult. And chemistry made her feel like a witch. So when the lunch bell rang she waved goodbye to her classmates and walked to the front door of the school.
Elsa spotted Ichigo easily. His hair made that quite simple. Plus he had a group around him.
"Ichigo!" Elsa waved as she heard the group. They all waved back. "Are these friends of yours?" Elsa looked around the group. They all smiled happily at her. Well, all but one. But he certainly wasn't frowning.
"So this is the exchange student that is staying with your family." The frowning man had straight black hair and glasses. He adjusted his glasses as he spoke.
"Yep. Arendelle Elsa." Else gave them all a small bow as she introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you all."
"Same to you." A girl with long spiked had nudged Ichigo. "I'll forgive you for not bring Orihime with you. This time." The girl smiled at Elsa and placed her hands on her hips. "I'm Tatsuki. The guy with glasses is Uryu. The tanned guy is Sado. And the idiotic looking one is Keigo."
"That's not nice, Tatsuki-chan!" A man slightly shorter than Ichigo frowned at the woman. "Why am I known as the idiot?"
"Sorry for bringing noisy people along." Elsa looked over at Ichigo. He was scratching his head and frowning.
Elsa smiled and giggled a bit. "It's okay. It's nice being around outgoing people. They help bring you out of your shell." She looked back and watched as Tatsuki held Keigo in a headlock. "They make a cute couple."
"We are not a couple!" Everyone in the group laughed as Tatsuki released Keigo and backed far away from him. "Let's get going before everywhere gets crowded."
The large group began making their way down the road. The guys were all talking and Tatsuki was asking Elsa how she did her hair.
"It's not that hard for me anymore. I've been doing it for so long it's easy." Elsa found it hard to explain how she did her hair. It was so natural to her. "With the length your hair is, you should be able to do it easily." Elsa saw Tatsuki go to reply, but another sound interrupted her.
*ROAR*
Elsa froze in her stride. She shivered remembering that sound all too well. "Hollow..."
"Sounds like it." Elsa saw the others look in the direction the sound came from. Ichigo was looking at her. "We'll be right back. Just need to take care of it. Kon will stay with you." She watched as he swallowed a green candy. Then there were two Ichigos. One in his regular clothes and the other in a strange black outfit with a white coat over it. "Kon, take her home."
"You got it Ichigo." Kon gave Ichigo a thumbs up.
Elsa watched as Ichigo and his friends ran off in the direction of the roar. "So what are you, Kon?" She turned and began walking back towards the house. She was a bit disappointed. She wanted to hang out with Ichigo and his friends more.
"I'm a Gikon. Or a Modsoul if you find it easier." Kon stretched his arms as they walked. He hadn't been in a body other than his stuffed animal body for a while now.
"Modsoul? What is that?" Elsa was confused. Was he not a regular soul like her or everyone else? Elsa looked towards him for an answer. She gripped his arm as he wrapped it around her and moved her away. "What are you doing?"
*BOOM*
A cloud of dust rose from where they had both been standing. Elsa leaned against the wall beside her as she tried to see through the dust.
*ROAR*
Elsa froze as a pair of glowing red eyes turned towards her. She tensed as they met her blue eyes.
"GAH!" Elsa looked over towards Kon. Spikes of ice had shot out of the wall and nearly impaled him. But he had avoided them. "That was dangerous! But it looks like you got him with one."
Elsa followed his eyes till she saw a single spike sticking in the monster's arm. It roared as it pulled the spike out of its arm. The Hollow turned towards Elsa and roared at her. It began to walk towards the scared and defenceless girl.
"Elsa run!" Elsa heard Kon yell at her, but she couldn't make her body move.
The Hollow raised an arm over its head with a triumphant roar. It smiled as it brought down its sharp claws on the girl.
Elsa brought her hands above her head in an attempt to shield herself from the incoming attack. But no attack ever came. And the roaring had stopped. She slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the Hollow. It was perfectly incased in ice.
"Nice job. Looks like I didn't have to worry about this one." Elsa looked towards the orange haired man walking towards her. "Take her home Kon. That's what I told you. Have you slacked off too much to even do that? Idiot." Ichigo gave Kon a grumpy look.
"Don't look at me like that! You were the one that said you would take care of the Hollow! And here it is attacking us!" Elsa laughed as the two Ichigo's fought. "Now she's laughing at us! But it's such a cute laugh."
Elsa took a step back as Kon approached her with a strange look on his face. She tried to grab something as her foot slipped on the ice beneath her. But the only thing nearby was the wall. And it too was covered in ice.
"Elsa!" She heard four voices cry out before a sharp pain behind her head silenced them.
Elsa slowly opened her eyes. Sunlight streamed in through screen doors facing her. She slowly sat up and looked around the room. The room didn't have much in it. Her futon was in a corner of the room with a folded red piece of clothing beside her.
She picked up the clothing and gasped as she saw the front of it. She looked at the remaining clothing on the pile. It was a uniform.
"Elsa-sama? Are you awake? Do you need help getting dressed?" Elsa heard a voice ask through one of the screen doors.
"I'm awake. And I can manage the uniform on my own." Elsa stood and quickly began getting dressed.
"I'll let Yamamoto-sama know you will down shortly for breakfast." She heard shuffling feet retreat away from the door.
Elsa quickly ties her hair in a braid as she pulls a headband out of her drawers. She didn't have time for anything more elaborate than that. She was in a hurry to start today. Today was her first day at the academy.
She quickly ran down the halls and slid to a stop once she got to the dinning room.
*knock knock knock-knock knock*
Elsa heard two pairs of feet shuffle towards the door. She opened it slowly when it didn't open. "Pardon the intru-ahh!" She fell backwards as her two best friends jumped on her. "Shun-chan! Juu-chan! Get off of me! You'll wrinkle my uniform!"
"So she does still know our nicknames." A young man with short brown hair stood up slowly. "Thought you were trying to give us the cold shoulder."
"Shunsui, you should watch what you say. Sorry about the tackle Elsa-chan. Shun fell on top of me and knocked me into you." The other young man with chin length white hair stood and offered Elsa his hand. She noticed a bit of blush on his cheeks.
Elsa smiled as she took his hand. "Its no problem, Jushiro. I should have expected something like this from Shunsui." She gave Shunsui a wicked grin. "So what are you both doing here?"
"Well we are all starting at the academy today. And my family doesn't want anything to do with me anymore." Elsa heard the sliver of regret in Shunsui's voice. He didn't get along with his family, but he still loved them. "So I thought I would go with my other family. Plus I haven't visited Yamaji at all this week."
"Well you are going to start seeing me a lot now." All three teens looked towards the tall figure standing in the dinning room. "Come in and eat you three. Then we can go get you all settled into your dorms."
"Okay." All three replied in unison. They all sat together and chatted as servants brought in food. "Thank you for the meal." They all reached for their food.
Elsa yelped as her bowl of rice became incased in ice when she touched it. She sighed as she stood up again. "Please excuse me. I forgot my gloves." She quickly walked out of the room and back to her own. 'Why can't I control it? Why do I lose control so easily?'
When she had her white gloves on she returned to the dinning room. She found an unfrozen bowl of rice on her tray when she returned. She sat down and avoided eye contact as she ate.
"You need to remember your gloves, Elsa. I can't bail you out while you are at the academy." Yamamoto sighed as he leaned against the pillar behind him.
"I know." Elsa hated it when she lost control in front of her grandfather.
"You both will have to keep it a secret as well." Yamamoto looked at the two boys in the room. Both had the potential to be very powerful. And the boys were great friends with his granddaughter. "No one can know of her abilities. Most children with a reiatsu that can manifest itself like her's, are rejected from Shin'o Academy. She could be expelled for it. And there would be nothing I could do to dissuade the board."
"We understand, Yamamoto-sama." Elsa smiled at Jushiro's response. He was always so level headed.
Shunsui was always a different matter. "No problem Yamaji. Can we go outside and build a snowman?"
The room grew very quiet. Elsa stiffened as she looked towards her friend. Then she looked at her grandfather. She was worried what he would say. He didn't like her using her powers when the staff was around.
Yamamoto could see how tense his granddaughter had become. He sighed remembering how young she still was. She had time to learn, but her time as a child was limited. "Stay in the back courtyard and don't make a lot of noise. And keep the castles, mountains, and blizzards to a minimum."
Elsa was surprised and pleased with her grandfather's response. She couldn't help but jump up and hug him. "Thank you Yamaji." She skipped out of the room happily. She heard Shunsui and Jushiro following her while laughing to themselves. Elsa ran to the courtyard at the back of the property. She pulled her gloves off and threw them aside. With a laugh she spun around and covered the courtyard in snow.
"You seem very energetic, Elsa-chan." Elsa spun around and smiled at her friends. Shunsui bent down and scooped up some snow. "Catch." He threw the snowball at Elsa.
"Got it." Elsa held the snowball with a smile. Then another hit her square in the face. She shook her head and saw Shunsui pointing at Jushiro and Jushiro pointing at Shunsui. "So that's how you want to play." Elsa bit her lip as she pictured what she wanted to create in her mind. She smiled as the snow formed into a samurai in front of her.
"Nice sculpture. Is it suppose to be scary?" Shunsui poked the snow warrior. It was very impressive.
"Maybe." Elsa thought of the puppets the three played with when they were younger. She could control them so well. 'I wonder...' Elsa pictured strings connected to the warrior. She moved the strings. And to her surprise, the warrior moved as well.
"You can make it move?" Shunsui stepped back as the warrior took a step towards him. "I bet I could beat it." Shunsui smiled while taking a fighter's stance.
"Shunsui you don't even know how to fight." Jushiro sighed at his friend's impulsiveness.
"Well neither do I." Elsa created another warrior and strings. "Now it's two on two."
"Come on Juu-chan. It'll be fun." Shunsui patted the white haired boy on the back. Then they both stepped up and faced the snowmen.
The scene froze with Shunsui and Jushiro in the middle of their steps. The two snowmen turned towards Elsa. Their skin turned black and their hair grew long. The snow armour melted into tight fitting leathers and boots. Elsa frowned at the scene before her.
"Sorry for interrupting. But it seems there are people worried about you." The man dressed in blue spoke softly as he walked towards Elsa.
The man in white stayed in his place. "Time to wake up, Elsa."
Sorry for taking so long with this chapter. Let me know what you think of it.
