Howdy peoples, I hope you enjoy this chapter cuz I had to kick myself to write it! You wanna know why? It's Thanksgiving, which would make lots of people ecstatic…However I'm not one of those people. To me Thanksgiving means seeing family and seeing family isn't my idea of fun. At least none of my grandparents called me fat or the other stuff they love to rant about, so I guess I consider today a victory. Although, my grandma did ask me if I was walking around to burn off the calories…
Anyways, I'd like to thank StarrFirre and MementoMoriYB for the reviews! Keep 'em coming!
(P.S This chapter will switch between Mai and Byakuya's point of view, which is a new thing for me so don't kill me if it sucks…)
Disclaimer: I own Mai Lee, eleven Bleach mangas, a computer to watch and write Bleach stuff on, and a soul candy mint dispenser thing-a-ma-jig but sadly I don't own Bleach…(How I wish I did…)
Chapter 3:
(Mai P.O.V)
"Ugh," I groaned as the alarm clock screeched insistently in my left ear. I rolled over and swatted at the annoying piece of junk. Maybe I would just skip school today; me and Byakuya had spent at least an hour fighting over his stupid cabinet organizing system before we got a Hollow alert. That reminded me, though. Today was Byakuya's first day at Karakura High. This might be fun after all.
I walked into the living room to find him sleeping soundly on the futon. Last night must have wiped him out to.
I crept over to him with an evil smile plastered on my face.
"Byakuya," I said in a soft sing-song voice in his ear.
"Uh," he just moaned and turned over, pulling the sheet over his head.
"Oh, Byakuya."
Again I was ignored.
"YO, KUCHIKI," I bellowed, directly into his ear I might add.
That woke him up. He sat straight up, and must have jumped at least half a foot. I took it he wasn't used to waking up that way and might have felt bad if it weren't for his next words.
"WHAT THE HELL! WHY THE FREAK ARE YOU SCREAMING IN MY GODDAMN EAR???!!!!"
"BECAUSE!!! YOU NEED TO GET UP!!! YOU'RE GOING TO SCHOOL TODAY, SO GET YOUR LAZY BUTT UP!!!!"
(Byakuya P.O.V)
*At School*
When we finally got to the school I almost had to sprint to be able to get to my first class on time. It was all Mai's fault for waking me up like that and then arguing instead of getting ready to go. As it was I got to the door of Room 13 a second before the bell rang. Everyone shuffled into the class and took their seats. That's when I noticed the familiar orange haired boy and the short raven haired girl I know as my adopted sister.
CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! Maybe I could still make it out the door before either of them noticed me. I turned to run, but my arm was caught by the teacher, who I had a feeling was about to start a speech about my being a new student here and ruin my plan of escaping.
"Class this is Byakuya. He's a new student here at Karakura High…"she began. Did I call that or what? Both Ichigo and Rukia simultaneously look up at me with wide eyes.
"Take a seat anywhere, Byakuya," the teacher instructs and I make my way to an empty seat in the back as far away from them as possible. I know it's futile, I'll have to face Rukia at some point but I can try, can't I? I'm suddenly dreading the end of this class, because I know I'll have to deal with the Spanish inquisition and face the fact that I've become a hypocrite. I'd once vowed to kill Rukia for doing the exact same thing I'm doing now.
The second the bell rang Rukia and Ichigo both grabbed one of my arms and dragged me off to what I was sure would be my doom. Or would it? They didn't know why I was here, they couldn't prove anything yet. The second that comforting thought made its way into my head it was gone again, because just then Mai came running down the hall and yelled my name.
"Yo Byakya!"
Why is it always me?!
Ichigo, Rukia, and Mai all looked at each other and then at me.
"Who the heck are you," Rukia asked her.
"Me, who are you?"
God, I was in soooo much trouble now. With a sigh I reluctantly opened my mouth to explain. "Rukia, this is Mai. She's, umm….She, uh…" Wow, was I helpful.
"I'm a substitute soul reaper," Mai chimed in for me.
Ichigo smirked and raised his eyebrows at me and Rukia turned towards me with her mouth hanging open.
"You're going to catch flies like that, Rukia," I told her, trying to sound all calm, cool, and collected like I usually do.
Her jaw quickly snapped closed. "Nii-sama, you mean you made her a soul reaper????"
There was an awkward silence before I gave a brief nod.
Ichigo just burst out laughing. "I never thought I'd see the day! Byakuya's a hypocrite!"
Mai joined in Ichigo's fun when I growled that he was to address me as Captain Kuchiki only.
"I'm glad you're all having fun," I said as I stomped away to my next class, annoyed.
When I was far enough away that I could no longer hear the cackling of Mai and Ichigo, I looked down at my schedule. Oh, God you're kidding me. The second box stated in bold letters Home Economics a.k.a the class for girls and a few of the gay guys…
(Mai P.O.V)
After I finally stopped laughing and headed off to my next class I realized something. Byakuya had Home Economics now. I picture him wearing one of the pink flowered smocks and with that I started laughing all over again…
Hope you liked the 3rd chapter! I think the next chapter might continue in Home Economics but I'm not positive yet. Please tell me if you have any suggestions about that or anything else! REVIEW!!! YOU KNOW YOU WHAT TOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
