Chapter 4- Katsu!

The school uniform was rather odd. It was never required at my old school. I looked at myself in the long stretched mirror in the girls bathroom, fixing my collar and red bow before pushing my pink hair around to make myself look presentable. I sighed and looked down at the grey skirt I had on, flattening it I was scared that someone might see my panties but I shoved it off and nodded to my reflection. I grabbed my gray jacket and book bag and headed out of the bathroom and into the, now crowded, halls were practically empty when I went into the bathroom, then again I had been hiding in there for some time. I never had to transfer to a new school before and the idea of meeting new people was scary. I looked at the piece of paper the receptionist gave me, a map of the school and red lines that highlighted my path to all my classes. I walked down the right side of the hallways, following the people as they walk, attempting to not draw too much attention to myself but it was hard. I felt everyone staring at me and it was uncomfortable.

"Classroom 1-3" I mumbled to myself, staring up at the black sign above the classroom door with the white numbering.

"What are you doing?" I blinked at the familiar sounding voice and turned to the classroom door, there stood the boy from this morning. I didn't catch his name and I couldn't remember it for the life of me. I guess that's bad seeing as I live with him. "Are you remembering it or something? You don't have to its written on your class schedule. Come on" He said, walking into the classroom. I followed him hesitantly, glancing at the students who stared and whispered at their fellow classmates. What was their problem? "Yuzu had them put you in my homeroom class so you are with someone you know" He said. I looked at him as he sat in his seat. I took the seat next to him and placed my bag on the desk in front of me.

"That was sweet of her" I smiled, turning to look at him. "Im sorry...I never got your name" I said embarrassed like, knowing that Yuzu had told me it.

"Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki" I smiled at the name and nodded.

"I am Sakura, Sakura Haruno"

"Pleased to meet you" He said. I didn't get to respond because there was another male voice calling out ichigo's name from across the classroom.

"Ichigo! Who's this? Your new girlfriend?" A smirk came across the short, brown haired boys face that had approached us.

"Knock it off Keigo" Ichigo grumbled. I felt myself blush and I looked down at my bag, attempting to avoid any unnecessary communication with this one.

"So shes not? Mind If I have her?" A hand was slammed onto my book bag and I lifted my head up, staring at the male that had approached us. "Hello M'lady! My name is Keigo. Best friend of Ichgo and single at the moment."

"You're scaring her Keigo" I looked past the brown haired man and a shorter male had approached with short black hair and a lovely smile on his face. "I'm sorry about him Miss" he said.

"Seriously Mizuiro?!" Keigo shouted. I felt my blush go away as I gave a little chuckle. "She was seriously into me!" He whined.

"Yeah right" Ichigo smirked

"Ichigo!" I heard a slam come from ichigos desk and when I looked, there was a short, black haired girl beside him with an irritated look on her face. "Again, you have to stop leaving your books at my house! They are a real pain to bring em here with me every day!"

"Sorry" ichigo said mindlessly.

"Oooh, you were at rukias house again" Keigo teased.

"Shut up" ichigo grumbed. I chuckled lightly and that obviously got the girls attention because she was now smiling at me.

"You must be the new foster kid ichigo was telling me about" her voice changed so fast. Instead of the irritated tone, it was kinder. "I am rukia kuchiki" I nodded my head with my own sweet smile.

"Sakura haruno" I introduced. "Pleased to meet you" she nodded her head.

"Hey, Uryuu, come meet sakura" ichigo said. I looked past keigo and mizurio and batted my lashes at the blue haired boy sitting up at the front of the class, pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose.

"No thank you. " he snapped.

"No worries. He's always like that" Keigo chuckled. I smiled with a nod, catching the other classmates whisper then look at me. I lowered my head and Rukia smiled my way.

"Don't worry about them" she comforted.

"Why is everyone looking at me?" I frowned

"Its your hair. No one has that bright of hair" Ichigo said.

"I like it!" Keigo stated happily, bringing a smile to my face.

"Alright! Alright! Take your seat!" The teacher shouted, taking his spot at the podium in the front of the class. My newly made friends took their seats and I bit my lip, praying I didn't get called on to introduced myself. When I didn't I gave a sigh of relief and the class continued on.

During lunch I didn't get much time alone, I carried my laptop to the courtyard, sitting on a rounded table, I flipped it open and signed onto the MMO game from before. I was getting ready to put my headphones on but I was quickly joined by Ichigo and everyone else, even Uyruu was here. I placed my headphones back around my neck and smiled up at them.

"We were looking for you" Rukia smiled. I smiled back and shrugged.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were." They all took their seat and I couldn't help but to notice that Uyruu was staring at me for some time. I blinked, tilting my head, ready to say something but was interrupted

"So! Tell us about your home town Sakura" Mizurio smiled.

"Oh...well okay" I smiled, I loved the idea of talking about everyone I loved. "I grew up on a small town, very small. it was called Konoha. I have..." I paused and looked down "Had...two brothers. Sasuke and Naruto were their names"

"Had?" Ichigo mumbled

"They were my foster brothers since I was one but since we have moved away..." I paused.

"They are still your brothers then Sakura. Just because you guys are far away doesn't mean they love you any less" he stated. I smiled, knowing he was right so I cleared my throat and continued, telling them all about my life in Konoha, all about my friends and my parents that passed. They asked a lot of questions so it didn't make it seem like I was talking to much. When the bell rang, I had not realized that 45 minutes had already passed. I closed my laptop, automatically signing off, and got up with the others, ignoring that they had already gathered their stuff, saying good bye. When I gathered my stuff and went back towards the school, I was stopped by Uyruu. He stood before me, pushing his glasses up to the bridge of his nose.

"Sakura.." He mumbled. I stepped back, slightly nervous about his presence.

"U..Uryuu..." I whispered.

"You...play" He said, motioning to my laptop. I nodded and he smirked, closing his eyes. "I am katsu" I blinked and a smile came to my face. I threw my arms around his neck and felt his arms around my waist. I felt my eyes water and I gasped.

"Katsu...god" I bit my lip and squeezed him. I felt his grip tighten around me.

"How are you?" He asked.

"I'm good...I'm good" I repeated, stepping back with a chuckle. He nodded and looked to the school.

"We will talk more after school ok? I will see you later." He waved and I nodded to him, smiling as I bit my lip, the door closing then reopening. I stepped forward, walking towards the doors of the school but suddenly stopped as I was pushed back. I had bumped into someone and went to quickly apologies.

"Oh, I am sorry" I said, looking up at the blue haired male who stood really tall above me. He looked to be like a 3rd of 4th year but I still ended up finding myself blush. I couldn't find my words as he stared down at me with his baby blue, piercing like eyes that felt as if it was staring into my soul.
