Chapter 4: Welcome to High School

DI-DI-DI-DI-DI…

"Uhh…"

DII-DIIII-DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII….

CRASH!

…..

…..

…..

Knock.

"Uhh…. Yeah?"

"Toshiro? Are you alright? I heard a crash…. What happened to your alarm clock?"

Toshiro sat up on his bed, still 80% asleep. First he looked at Mrs. Nakagawa, who was standing on his doorway, and then moved his eyes to look at the piece of scrap metal that used to be his alarm clock. Then he looked at Mrs. Nakagawa again. She had a rather amused look on her face.

"Seems like you're really not a morning person?" she said while opening the curtains.

"Yeah… I'm sorry about that Mrs. Nakagawa" he said, rubbing his eyes.

"I told you to call me mom didn't I?" she said, hands on her hips.

"Well anyway, go take a shower, breakfast is almost ready. Oh yes and your school uniform is in the bathroo…." she froze in the middle of sentence when Toshiro got up from bed. Toshiro looked at her. She was staring straight at Toshiro.

"Umm…Mrs. Nakagawa?" he said. "Is something wrong?"

Mrs. Nakagawa just stood there, then she pointed at the young captains chest. The boy looked down to see what got her speechless.

'Aw, shit!' he thought. The scar he got from the battle against Aizen (AN: When the bastard cut his arm and leg off) was still very much visible. Especially since he wasn't wearing a shirt.

"What happened to you?" Mrs. Nakagawa said, rushing to him.

'What am I supposed to tell her?' Toshiro almost panicked. 'I can't tell her what really happened…. Come on, think!'

"Some crazy bastard attacked my friend so I kinda lost it and attacked him but didn't notice he had a sword so he cut me and the next thing I knew was that I woke up in the hospital a few days later." he said quickly.

'Damn, now I basically told her what happened! How much more stupid can I get?' he was mentally hitting himself. Now it was official. Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of squad 10, was in full panic.

"How long has it been?" Mrs. Nakagawa asked him.

"Um… about a month." he said, and right after he said the he mentally hit himself again. 'IDIOT!' he thought to himself.

"Really? It looks older than that" the woman wondered. Well obviously it looks older; captain Unohana had already healed it as much as she could.

"Yeah, the doctor did a great job patching me up." he said, letting out a nervous laugh.

"Well as long as you're alright." Mrs. Nakagawa said, smiling at the boy. "Go take a shower, I'll go downstairs." She started to walk towards the door.

"Hey, Mrs. Nakagawa? Could you do me a favor not to tell anyone else? I don't want people to know." he said before she could leave.

"Alright, if that's what you want. But didn't I tell you to call me mom?" she said with fake irritation in her voice, and left.

Toshiro chuckled at her voice and started to walk towards the bathroom to take a shower.

8.00 AM

Toshiro was walking towards the spot he had agreed to meet Chloe at. He was wearing his school uniform. It was a simple white short-sleeved blouse, grey pants and a blue tie.

'Why do they make us wear these?' Toshiro thought. He was complaining even though he had left the tie home.

Once he got to their meeting spot, Chloe was already there waiting.

"Sorry, am I late?" he asked when he reached her.

"Nope, I just got here myself" she answered, smiling widely.

Once they got to the school, the yard was already full of people. Toshiro noticed that Chloe looked nervous.

"Come on, the class lists are over there" he said and pointed to the other end of the yard where the most of the people were gathered. Chloe nodded and they went to see the lists.

"I can't see anything~" Chloe whined, standing on her toes to see over the peoples heads. "Can you see?" she asked Toshiro.

"Yeah, just a second" he answered. He had gotten a growth spurt after war, and now he was 179 cm tall and very happy about it. (AN: I've got no idea how the inch systems works, that's why cm but for comparison, 4,4 ft is about 133 cm)

"Seems like we're in the same class" he told the blond girl.

"Really? Oh yeah!" she said and jumped up in excitement. Toshiro chuckled at the girls childish behavior. He turned around to leave but bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry" he said and started to walk away, but was stopped when the person gripped his shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going? Do you actually think you can just walk away after bumping into me?" he said to Toshiro. The young captain just pushed the hand off his shoulder and turned to face the guy.

"Come on, I said I was sorry. No reason to start threatening." he said with his usual calm tone and started to walk away. But before he got further than a few steps he sensed the guy attacking him from behind. He took a step aside to dodge. The guy had apparently putted a lot of force into the hit because when he didn't hit his target he fell out of balance and face first to the ground.

'Aw shit, this guy is hopeless, doesn't even know when there's too much force in the hit.' he thought and bent a little to see if the guy was breathing.

"Hey, you alright?" he asked. He heard the guy start to mutter something.

"You should be worrying about yourself!" the guy yelled and got up fast and tried to kick Hitsugaya, who obviously dodged it easily. The other guy started sending hits toward Toshiro who just dodged them all. When the guy made the same mistake as he did with the first punch, Toshiro jumped, took a step on his back and landed behind him as the guy fell his face first to the concrete.

"Come on, just give it up already. The only things you've managed to hurt so far are your face and your pride." he said. The guy got up from the ground and turned around for yet another attack. Toshiro readied himself to dodge again. But they were stopped by an angry voice.

"That's enough, both of you!"

Both boys looked at the person who had yelled. He was a small man in his mid-thirties, wearing a black suit and blue tie. Judging by the way he looked, Toshiro knew he was the principal.

'Oh great, I'm in trouble on my first day' he thought and let out a sigh. The small man had reached them and he was looking at them both.

"I saw the whole thing. Kase, you know the rules, the school has zero tolerance on fighting, you'll be expelled for the next two weeks. Don't say anything, you had it coming. As for you Mr. …." the man said, meaning the last one to Toshiro.

"Hitsugaya, sir. Toshiro Hitsugaya" he answered the mans question, slightly nervous. What if he gets expelled too?

"Mr. Hitsugaya, as I said I saw the whole thing, and I have to say you did well keeping your head cool even though it was obvious you would have beaten him easily. So, no need for you to worry you did nothing wrong. Oh yes, I'm sure you already figured it out but I'm the principal of this school. Name is Fujioka. Welcome to Kyoto 2nd west high school." the man said, smiling at the young captain.

"Thank you sir" Toshiro said, bowed politely and waved to Chloe in order to get her to follow him and walked inside. The principal stayed outside watching after the boy.

"This is going to be a one hell of a year" he mused to himself.

Me: There! You started high school! Happy?

Toshiro: …. Why did you make me get into a fight?

Me: For a little excitement.

Toshiro: Let me guess; excitement for you and the other fangirls?

Me: Yep! How'd you know?

Toshiro: Hunch.

Me: Oh, alright. Would you do the honors?

Toshiro: Angel does not own Bleach nor she ever will.

Me: GIVE ME REVIEWS PEOPLE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
