Welcome to Chapter Four and I thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter, also I wanted to state that Toph isn't the only person from another series that will be making an appearance as several others will be but no more than one or two from the same one and Toph, and her family of course, will be the only ones making an appearance from ATLA.
Also I'm not just talking from different anime, I'm talking about from different games and movies as well.
Now disclaimer, Shiro-chan if you would.
*Suddenly gets frozen in a block of ice as young Toshiro appears from the side with a scowl on his face.*
Toshiro: Only certain people can call me that. *Looks at the readers* Mr. Hourglass doesn't own Bleach nor will he every will.
Chapter Four: The Academy.
Toshiro, who was now ten(In shinigami years), was nervous to say the least and the reason for this is because that he'll be enrolling in the Academy this year. It came a bit of a shock when his Kaa-chan told him that he'll be going to the Academy instead of being home-schooled like she was.
"It'll be a good way for you to make friends." She stated as she finished her 27th bowl of food. And so here he was, walking to the Academy but at least he wasn't going alone.
"Hey Ice-pop anyone home?" A hard slap on his back painfully reminded him of his friend Toph, who was the same age as he was, that she was still walking beside him. The two had spent a lot of time together and Toph's dreams were getting clearer now that she could hear the whispers better while Toshiro's own dreams were spent with him talking to his Zanpakuto, however he haven't figure out his name yet.
When Toph caught wind that he was going into the Academy, she nearly begged her parents to let her go as well and, after some promises, she was officially the first Beifong to ever enter the Academy. However she would be taking special classes due to her disability and the chances were low that they would have the same classes together but they could always meet in lunch time.
Soon they reached the gate of the Academy where several older students were walking in which they were once again reminded that they would be some of the youngest people to enter since most people would enroll at the age of 15 but Yoruichi wanted to enroll Toshiro earlier to get it out of the way.
"I'll pull some strings Shiro-chan," She had said as she delivered a blow to his left side. "Trust me."
And there is no one in the world, or any world, that he trusted more than his Kaa-chan.(1)
Shino Academy
A third year student was walking toward her new classes, humming a happy tune as she did. She had short brown hair and purple eyes, and on her head was a large light brown hat. There was, however, one thing that drew attention to her.
She was only 11 years old.
Sendo Yukari is a model student that entered at the age of ten and completed both of first and second years studies thus letting her skip to the third year. However she was a bit childish as her hobby to pull pranks but luckily she never took it too far and most of her classmates found them really funny.
'Well almost all of them.' She mentally sighed and looked down at her feet as she fixed her hat her parents gave her as a birthday gift. She was not looking forward to another year with him again.
"Yukari over here!" Looking up she saw her oldest friend, and big brother figure, waving to her as he walked over with a smile on his face.
All her previous thoughts vanished as she ran toward him, stopping herself from crashing into him. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Its about time you passed the entrance exams! I told you all those hours of studying would pay off!"
He laughed, scratching his hair that was tied into a bun. "Alright, you were right and I was wrong. Now help me find my classes because this place is huge."
She laughed as she took the paper from his hands. "Hai Kusaka."
With Toshiro
Currently the white hair boy was going toward his Hoho class which was, unfortunately, located at the other end of the Academy.
'It could be worse,' Toshiro thought as he took another turn. 'I could get lost but I guess Kaa-chan making me remember the layout of the Academy actually paid off.'
He stopped as he heard several voices arguing with each other.
"So the little brat decided to come back and after we told her not to." A stuck up voice spoke, sounding like it belong to upperclassmen.
"Maybe we should teach her a lesson Yuto-san." Another one said, this one deeper in pitch and probably belonging to an upperclassmen as well.
A third voice spoke up, this one different from the other two. "Why don't you two jerks leave us alone so we can get to class."
"Why don't you stay out of this?" A loud smack was heard and Toshiro heard a girl's voice scream. "Kusaka!"
Having heard enough, he stepped out with an emotionless expression on his face and saw two large students either fifth or sixth years. One had brown hair that was cut short and slightly pale skin with black eyes and had his fist raised for another strike. Another had blue hair that was also cut to his ears and brown eyes with tan skin.
On the ground was a black haired teen, maybe several years older than him, who had blood running down the side of his head and, most surprisingly, a girl with a large brown hat that looks just a year older than him.
"What's this another brat?" The one with the brown hair asked as he turned to Toshiro. "Well listen here shorty, this place is for adults not little babies like you and her over there." He pointed at the girl.
Toshiro's emotionless expression, much like his Kaa-chan when she gets serious, didn't faze beside the slight twitch at the 'shorty' jab.
He spoke loud and clear. "The only babies I see are the ones that are picking on people who can't even defend themselves."
This shocked everyone, although he did notice the slight glare the girl gave him at the end of his sentence. The blue hair student growled and stepped forward.
"What was that you little punk?" Toshiro gave a cold smirk. "You heard me or are you too stupid to understand what I said."
This pushed him over the edge and the large student charged at Toshiro, his right fist raised to strike but when he did, Toshiro easily caught it with one hand, making everyone's eyes widen.
He then gripped the fist and twisted it at a painful angle, causing the large student to drop to his knees and yell in pain. Toshiro looked at whom he assumed to be Yuto who froze in fear as Toshiro's eyes made contact with him.
"I suggest you and your friend leave before I get mad." He released the grip he had on the other student's fist and the two quickly ran away.
Toshiro looked at the other two, his emotionless mask gone and replaced with a concern one. "You two alright?"
The male was wiping the blood from his head and smiled. "Yeah just fine." He stood up and held out a hand for Toshiro to shake. "My name is Sojiro Kusaka."
He looked at the girl who was staring at Toshiro with a gaze that made him feel uncomfortable but was broken out of it when Kusaka shook her a bit.
"Sendo Yukari." She continued to stare at Toshiro before asking. "Why are you here?" Kusaka hit her head lightly for asking a rude question but Toshiro just gave a small smile.
"To learn of course." This wasn't enough for her so she asked another blunt question. "How high did you score on the entrance exams?"
Toshiro still wasn't annoyed by the blunt questions and responded. "200."
"Eh!" Yukari felt herself turned to stone at his answer. She couldn't believe it, even herself only scored a 198 while he got a perfect score!
Kusaka waved his hand in front of Yukari's face who had yet to respond and shrugged before looking at Toshiro.
"So what's your name?" Just as Toshiro opened his mouth, they all heard a bell ring which they recognized as the late bell.
Toshiro quickly said, "Toshiro." And waved goodbye to them then disappeared in a shunpo, leaving them in the hallway.
However they were now wondering how'd he knew Shunpo.
After 1st period classes
Yukari was currently doing something that didn't involved reading in the library or practicing her kido.
It was stalking Toshiro around after classes.
After each class, there would be a 15 minutes break so that was enough for her to find him and start following him around due to him sticking out like a sore thumb.
She also took notice of the black hair girl who was walking around completely bare footed and talking rather rudely to anyone who comment on that.
The reason why she was following him was to find out more about him and to see if he somehow cheated during the entrance exams. As they turned a corner, she quickly followed them but was grabbed by a firm grip and slammed into the wall, face first and her arms bend painfully behind her back.
"Alright girly, why have you been following us for the pass five minutes?" Yukari recognized the girl's voice and her arms were pushed further, making her wince in pain.
Luckily someone managed to get her to release her arms before they broke. "Hang on Toph when I said confront her, I didn't mean slam her into a wall and try to break her arms." Yukari turned around, rubbing her arms as she did, and saw that Toshiro had a hand on Toph's shoulder who had her arms cross over her chest.
Toph shrugged and said, "Hey she's been following us since break started and if that isn't suspicious, I don't know what is." The purple eye girl noticed that Toph wasn't even looking at her as she spoke but taking a closer look, she noticed that she was blind.
Yukari didn't noticed she was staring until she felt a punch on her right arm. "Ow! What was that for?"
"It's rude to stare." Toph said with a smirk. "So why have you been following us?" The purple eyes girl fixed her hat for a moment and glared at Toshiro, surprising him.
"How did you cheat in the entrance exams?" Toshiro raised an eyebrow. "I didn't cheat, unless studying counts as cheating."
Yukari felt her anger build up and she stomped the ground. "Don't lie to me! Its impossible for a brat like you to get a perfect score!" Toshiro felt his face twitch at the brat comment.
"Brat? Your only a year older than me." He fought the smile that threaten to appear on his face when he saw her blush in embarrassment.
"That doesn't matter, now tell me how'd you cheat or else!"
"Or else what?"
Yukari gave a evil smile. "Or else I'll prank you." This confused the pair but Toshiro quickly shook it off and stepped forward.
"I'm telling you, I didn't cheat. I studied like everyone else would have, it's not my fault the course material is too easy."
"Too easy?" Yukari felt her anger go up a notch as she remembered how hard it was for her to keep up with everyone else and the countless hours of studying she had to do for her to remain with high grades.
"That's it! Until you tell me how you cheated, I declare a prank war on you!" She pointed dramatically at Toshiro, causing him to sweatdrop.
"You can't be serious." Yukari gave another evil smile. "Oh I am! Now you shall feel the wrath of Sendo Yukari!" She ran off, leaving a trail of dust as she did, making the two cough.
"How *cough* did she leave a dust trail in a *cough* hallway?" Toph said as Toshiro shrugged, getting a punch from Toph in response.
2nd Period
Toshiro just entered his History class and sat down on his assigned desk as the teacher walked in. "Okay everyone take out your books in your desks and open to chapter one."
The moment he opened the desk, however, he received a face full of flour, causing everyone to look at him and laugh, including the teacher.
Toshiro felt his left eye twitch and thought. 'Alright I'll play your game.'
3rd Period
Yukari was happily walking toward her Kido class as she remember what she heard from other students about someone getting prank. It was lucky that the Headmaster wasn't in his office so it was a simple matter of getting a copy of Toshiro's schedule and finding his classes.
The moment she opened the door, she dodged a bucket filled with water by rolling to the side.
"Ha!" She yelled out. "Your going to have to do better than that to get me!" The moment she stepped forward, she felt her foot hit a wire and before she knew it, a pie hit her right on the face.
Wiping away the pie, which she noticed was cherry flavor, she growled outloud. 'I'm not going to be out done in my own game!'
4th Period
Toshiro was currently running laps along with the rest of his class in his Hoho class which, at first he found the idea odd since they were suppose to learn Shunpo, not that he needed to with his Kaa-chan's title Flash Goddess and her training him in Hoho and Hakuda, but their teacher said.
"Before you walk you gotta crawl, and before you shunpo, you gotta run! So get moving!"
Finally all the laps were finished and everyone, besides him, was tired and exhausted while he was just feeling thirsty so he went over to the water fountain.
Once he turned the knob for the water to come out, ink squirted him right in the face and mouth making him spit it out. He wiped his face as his classmates laughed.
With Yoruichi and Kuukaku
The two women were currently enjoying a nice lunch with some sake.
"Do you think Shiro-chan is doing well at the Academy?" Yoruichi asked once she finished her fish as Kuukaku sighed, putting down her sake.
"For the tenth time Yoruichi, I'm sure he's alright. Even if someone tried to hurt him, he can easily beat them into the ground with all the training you, me, Kisuke, Isshin, and Tessai are giving him."
Yoruichi laughed slightly. "Yeah I guess your right. I just hope that he's making some friends." Kuukaku grinned as she remembered a certain memory.
"Hey remember the first time he met Byakuya, I still can't behind how pissed Toshiro made him."
The purple hair women raised a cup of sake to that. "Hard to believe they're best friends now."
With Yukari In 6th Period
Yukari was preparing her next prank on Toshiro, after she got out and changed her clothes after a stupid rope snare and water balloons prank, when suddenly she was picked up into the air by the back of her uniform.
"Ah!" She yelled, dropping the small box as she looked at who picked her up. Gulping, she saw that it was Yuto but this time he brought all five of his friends, all of them sixth years.
"Well well well, what do we have here? The little brat bringing someone a present." Yuto picked up the box and, before she could warn him, he opened it which caused a boxing glove to spring out and nail him right in the face but that wasn't it as the boxing glove blew up, covering his face with pink paint.
The sight would have been funny if it wasn't for the fact that she was currently scared out of her mind as Yuto was shaking with rage. Dropping and stomping on the box Yuto turned toward her, his red face visible through the pink paint.
"That's it Sendo, you went over the line."
"B-b-but that prank wasn't meant for you!" She protested as she was carried to who knows where through the empty hallways due to break being almost over.
Yuto growled as he glared at her. "I don't care the bottom line is, your going to get what you deserve."
With Toshiro
He was currently walking with Toph due to them sharing the same 6th period when she suddenly stopped, making him look at her.
"Something wrong Toph?" He asked as she nodded. "Yeah follow me." He did so without hesitation and they ran down the halls, dodging the late students and soon found themselves nearing a old Kido training field.
And on said field was Yukari tied to a log with Yuto and five of his friends shooting at her, missing on purpose just to scare her. Narrowing his eyes, Toshiro yelled at them.
"Hey!" They all turned to him and Yuto gave a nasty smirk. "Looks like the other baby is here and look he brought a friend."
Toshiro ignored him and spoke to Toph. "Can you untie Yukari while I handle these thugs?" She gave her friend a slight glare.
"Exactly how is a blind girl suppose to untie someone?" Toshiro just smile at her. "I'm sure you'll think of something." She rolled her eyes and went over to the other girl while the gang of six focused on him.
"Last chance, if you all leave I won't hurt you." His statement caused them all to laugh. "Fine then."
Two of them, a large blond and a medium built black head, ran toward him both of them ready to strike. Toshiro easily caught the blond one fist and flipped him on his back then dragged and threw him at the other one with enough force to send both of them flying and crashing into a wall, knocking them both out.
This surprised everyone including Yukari but she was quickly brought out of her trance when Toph punched her side to get her attention.
"Ow! What is with you and hurting me?" Toph ignored her question and said. "Just shut up and help me untie these ropes." Yukari got an idea and said.
"My hat! Inside it is my sword." Toph caught on, took the hat, dug inside it, pulled out a small colorful dagger, and went to work while Yukari watched as another pair charged Toshiro.
The pair, one bald and another with a shaved head, tried to attack him at the same time but he ducked under there strikes and sweep a leg under them, tripping them. He then kicked both of them in the stomachs, sending them flying into the same wall as the first two.
"How did you two even find me?" Yukari asked as Toph was almost done with the ropes. "I'm able to sense vibrations in the earth and everyone has a certain vibration like Toshiro's own is slow and controlled. Your own is fast and a bit wild and I focused on yours to see if you were following us again and I felt you being carried by someone. I'll tell you more later."
The last two, Yuto and the blue hair student, were left standing against Toshiro and both of them could feel there confidence fading at how he easily took down four of their friends.
The blue hair student took a step forward but then a small rock connected with his forehead with enough force to knock him out and leave a good size bruise. Yuto watched in fear as his last friend crumble to the ground and he turned back to Toshiro only for him see that he somehow appeared right in front of him.
He fell to his butt in fear and he crawled back as Toshiro approached him until he hit the wall. "W-w-w-what d-d-do you want?" Yuto asked in complete fear.
"I want you to leave Yukari alone and if I hear that you or your friends are messing with her or anyone ever again," He said the last part in a whisper so only Yuto could hear it. "I'll rip off what makes you a guy, no matter how small, with my bare hands." This caused the upperclassmen to wet his pants and faint in fear as Toshiro walked over to Toph and Yukari who was now free.
Giving a small smile, he asked. "You okay?" Yukari nodded as she took back her dagger from Toph. "That was incredible! How'd you learn to do all that?" Scratching the back of his head, he replied.
"Well my Kaa-chan been training me in Hakuda." Yukari smiled and said, "Your Kaa-chan must be an amazing fighter if your moves are anything to go by."
"She should be, after all his Kaa-chan is the captain of the Second Division." Toph said, confusing Yukari. "Hang on isn't the Second Division captain Shihoin Yoruichi?"
Toshiro nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm her son Shihoin Toshiro." Yukari gave a small 'oh' then she fainted luckily he managed to catch her before she hit the ground.
End of the School day at the Shihoin Manor
Yoruichi was finishing up some paperwork when her son walked in the room. "Hi Kaa-chan."
"Hi Shiro-chan, had a good day in school?" Toshiro gave her a grin much like her own. "You could say that."
Sorry this chapter took a while, I had another idea in mind but I decided to change it at the last second so I had to redo the entire thing.
Before you ask, Yes that is Yukari from Rosario + Vampire and yes there will be more action in the next chapter.
(1): Foreshadowing things to come if you know what I mean.
Also Omake Time!
Omake: Toshiro and Byakuya first meeting
"Scatter Senbonzakura." Byakuya said as he practiced with his Zanpakuto in his family's training field. He watched as the small fragments ripped apart the dummies he set up.
Doing this requires complete control over himself and all the fragments that were scattered around him so he breathed in and out, controlling his breathing, his mind and his Zanpakuto.
"That's a gay color for a Shikai." An insult broke his control as he looked around for whoever said that, the thousand fragments falling to the ground, completely forgotten.
"Who said that my Zanpakuto is a gay color!" He yelled/asked in anger as he looked around for whoever said that. "Me." Looking at a nearby tree, he saw a small 9 year old white hair boy sitting on a branch.
"Who are you?" Toshiro stuck out his tongue, adding fuel to the fire. "None of your business but I'm pretty sure you know my Kaa-chan."
Byakuya raised an eyebrow in confusion so Toshiro said, "Shihoin Yoruichi." His eyes grew wide at that little bit of info.
"That werecat had a son?" He then received a sandle to the face and he look back up at the younger boy. "What was that for?"
"Don't insult my Kaa-chan in front of me, you poor excuse for a girl."
Blushing he yelled back. "Do I look like a girl!" Toshiro smiled and nodded his head which caused Byakuya to growl but he then gain a smirk. "At least I can see over the table when I eat unlike you who probably has to sit on a booster seat."
He felt a Shunpo go by him and he turned around to see Toshiro holding something in his hands. "No one makes fun of my height!" He disappeared and Byakuya was left wondering what he took until he felt a breeze pass his legs.
Looking down, he blushed crimson as he saw that the belt that was holding up his pants was gone and his underwear with Mr. Seaweed pictures on it was exposed for the world to see. Pulling up his pants, he gave chase to Toshiro with his Shikai following him, yelling.
"Your dead you little thief!"
Neither of them noticed the two women who was laughing till there sides hurt on the roof of the manor.
Omake End
Come on you have to admit that Byakuya looks like a girl when he was younger. That's it for now until next time!
