Chapter 4 [Blend in]
(?) POV:
I chuckled darkly at the 'proof' my new source of entertainment sent me. Everything I requested was done to the letter. She was stunning in every possible way. Obedient, intelligent, strong, and resourceful. She would make a wonderful acquisition to my ranks. Just one last test.
Yukina POV:
I groaned as my alarm went off signaling what I knew would be a long day of school. Feeling exhausted from the night before, I pressed the snooze button hoping for just a couple extra minutes of sleep. That's when my phone started to vibrate. I opened one eye tiredly to check the caller ID when I noticed the blocked number. I growled at the client who dared call me this early in the morning and rejected the call. Unhappy that my precious snooze time was interrupted I slowly made my way to the kitchen to start some coffee.
Just as I was about to take a sip of the only thing I knew would get me though the day I felt Orihime's spiritual pressure at the door. I closed my eyes slowly savoring the smell of coffee while I waited for her to knock. When she did I took a deep breath, walked over, and opened it. She took one look at me with my oversized t-shirt and underwear and quickly pushed me inside.
"You shouldn't answer your door dressed like that Yukina. Hurry let's get you ready for school!" She chirped.
After taking a shower, changing, grabbing my school bag and coffee mug we headed to school. Orihime was talking to me about some dream she had when the school came into view. I met with the teacher and found I was in the same class as Orihime and her friends.
"Well everyone we have yet another new student who will be joining the class." Ms. Ochi announced. "Would you please introduce yourself to the class?" she asked. I nodded and wrote my name on the board.
Ichigo POV:
I was thinking about the female visored we met last night when I heard a gentle but strong voice pierce my revere.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Hio Yukina." she started with a kind smile but a roar from my classmates drowned her out.
"Whaaaaaaaaat?!" Keigo yelled. "You're Ms. Hio? As in the famous novelist from America?" he shrieked. My eyes met hers and I saw the discomfort darken her eyes as everyone started hurling questions at her.
"When did you get here?", "Are you writing a new book?", "When will it be released?", "Are you seeing anyone?" they shouted one after the other. I felt my irritation rise as I saw her put on a forced smile and attempt to answer their questions. I was about to intervene but she put her hands up and laughed making the class pause.
"Please everyone, I do not wish to take up our teacher's precious time, and we have all year to get to know each other." She said kindly with a closed eye smile. That's when we all heard a phone ring. Yukina blushed and looked to our teacher for permission. Ms. Ochi nodded and Yukina apologized profusely to everyone before exiting the classroom.
"All right class let's get started." Ms. Ochi started.
I tuned her out worried about Yukina. She seemed a little overwhelmed.
'Maybe I should go check on her.' I thought to myself as I stood and followed her out.
