Their new PE teacher is an ass who found it fit to call people names and insult the less athletic students. Inoue, being one of the 'less athletic students', succeeded in crossing the guy the second week of his class by falling down and injuring her knees. She apologized ceaselessly as she got up and proceeded towards the clinic, incognizant of the fact that by doing so, he'll have to explain why and how that happened. Hence, paperwork

Inoue, being well, Inoue, bowed her head and apologized as if it being stupid was a sin. 'Komenasai,' she muttered.

"Silence, woman! You do not speak unless spoken to," he stated in an all so familiar way.

Looking quite lost suddenly, she whispered, almost incoherently, "yes, Ulquirra-kun." Her hands were folded demurely over her lap as she stared nonchalantly at the ground, but there was an odd change in the peculiar young woman. Students who had the spare time to recall later used the varying words to describe how she looked. But there was one word they all agreed on: Forlorn.

Ichigo, who was standing close by, found it obligatory to slug the unfortunate, but deserving teacher on his face just then. Grabbing the guy on his collar to prevent him from falling on impact just yet, he proceeded to knee the instructor and throw the suffering fool unceremoniously across the gym expertly.

Loud, joyous and supporting exclamations from their fellow classmates ensued after a brief silence. Nevertheless, Ichigo knew he was going to be in deep trouble.

But right that moment, he was looking bloody pleased with himself.
