Chapter 4
The next morning, Kaiya was lying asleep on her bed with her arms and legs all over the place. She made a noise and placed the blanket completely over her, as she felt someone poking her side. She turned over again, still under the blanket, as the person poked her harder.
"Leave me alone..." she muttered, softly.
After a few more pokes, Kaiya had enough. She quickly sat up and swung her arms around, trying to hit the person who was poking her. She stopped and faced the person.
"URAHARA, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU WAKE ME UP SO EARLY FOR?!" she yelled, standing up and glaring at him.
He just looked at her with a stupid smile.
"I didn't want you to be late."
"Be late for what?" she asked, placing her hand on her hip.
He was still smiling and she raised an eyebrow.
"For school."
At these words, Kaiya fell to the floor. She reached for the thin pillow and hit herself on the head with it.
"I don't wanna go. You can't make me, I don't wanna go!" she said these words over and over again.
Then she realized what he said.
"Wait a second, you can't send me to school! I'm twenty-two! I'm old enough not to go to school! I refuse!" she yelled at him, placing the pillow down.
"Well, I can't have you wandering outside everyday or stay here, sleeping." he said.
"So, what does that have to do with anything? Most people don't mind having me around everyday!"
"I have my reasons. Now hurry up and get into your gigai. I just finished it up. And your school uniform is in the closet. You're going to be late." he said, pointing to the gigai lying motionless next to the door.
He got up and quickly left the room, closing the door behind him. Kaiya crossed her arms and pouted. She couldn't believe what just happened. She shouldn't be sent to school. She's not a kid anymore, though she acts like one. Kaiya shrugged it off and decided what the hell, what else could happen and decided to give school a shot. But one thing stopped her from going anywhere. Her gigai. Urahara left without saying anything about it except to put it on or get in it, and she didn't know how to. She sighed and got up. She made her way over to the motionless body that was wearing a small blue shirt and black shorts. Kaiya grabbed the shoulders and turned it around so it's back faced her. Then she felt something luring her closer to it. The force lured her closer and closer until her face was a few centimeters away from the neck of the gigai. And in one big, final pull, the force pulled right into the gigai without stopping. Kaiya, now inside the gigai, laid there motionless, shivering and breathing heavily. She had to get accustomed to it. Since it's her first time, she couldn't breathe as easily and she felt heavier. She tried to get up by pulling herself up. It was very hard, since it's her first time. If this is what it feels like to be in a gigai, how do people move around so easily? She cautiously took a step. Then another, and another. Her breathing was slower and becoming normal. She clenched and un-clenched her hands, getting used to the feeling. In a few seconds, Kaiya began to get accustomed to the gigai. It wasn't that hard after all. She slowly made her way to the closet and reached to open it. This gigai ain't bad, although moving around is harder in the faux body. She opened the closet and looked inside. There were a few clothes and footwear in it. She had to find the uniform. She knew it had to look formal and had to match since it was a uniform. Then, she spotted a white, thin shirt with a red bow folded next to it. A gray skirt was folded neatly next to the bow. This looks like the uniform. She took it out of the closet and held it in front of her. Why does it have to be a skirt? Kaiya then noticed a large mirror next to the closet that wasn't there when she arrived. Urahara must have placed it there while I was asleep. Kaiya dropped the clothes on the floor and got undressed. She looked at herself in the mirror.
"Urahara even got the curves right..."
She also noticed that the gigai already had undergarments on. That took a load off her. Kaiya continued to put on her uniform. When she was done, she looked in the mirror again. Her mouth had dropped. The shirt was tight and some of the buttons wouldn't close. Her skirt was to short and wouldn't become longer no matter how much Kaiya pulled at it. Urahara did this on purpose, that little pervert! Right then, Urahara opened her door and walked in freely, without knocking.
"Oh, it looks like your already dressed," he had some disappointment in his voice.
"You pervert! You tried to walk in while I was changing! And you got this uniform a size too small!" Kaiya yelled at him.
He pulled out his fan and placed it in front of his face. Kaiya saw he was smirking. She started yelling at him again.
"Urahara you're so mean!"
He chuckled, as Kaiya went back to trying to pull down her skirt.
"Hurry up and get your socks and shoes on. Your going to be late if you don't leave quickly."
"YOU MEAN YOU'RE MAKING ME GO BY MYSELF?!! WALKING?!" Kaiya yelled, attempting to slide on the cotton black socks.
"How else would you be able to get there?"
"MAYBE BY GETTING ME THERE IN THOSE SO CALLED 'CARS'?" Kaiya yelled back, now placing on the black, leather heels that Urahara called 'shoes'.
"It has a flat tire." Urahara said, trying so hard not to smile.
"You are making this more and more easy for me, aren't you?" Kaiya said, walking over to him, dressed in the uniform.
She walked passed him and out of the room toward the stairs.
"Move it, Urahara. Or I'm going to be late." she said, while running down the stairs.
Kaiya quickly picked up her hair and tied it up in a loose ponytail, as she walked to the middle room where everyone was having breakfast. She could her the door of her room close and Urahara coming down the stairs.
"Good morning, Toshiba-chan." greeted Tessai and Kaiya bowed her head in return.
She plopped down next to Ururu and looked at her breakfast. It was just a plain piece of bread with some butter on it with a side serve of rice in a small bowl.
"You must hurry, you only have a few minutes." Tessai pointed out.
Kaiya grabbed the piece of bread and ate it all in three bites. She stood up.
"'kay, I'm ready! Bye now, everyone!" she said.
"You don't even know where the school is." Urahara said, behind her.
Kaiya stopped and turned to face him. She sighed and nodded her head.
"That's why Ururu is going to be accompanying you."
Ururu quickly stood up and made her way next to Kaiya.
"I can't have you roaming around outside by yourself." Urahara said, as Kaiya turned and headed out of the shop.
"Bye!" she waved to everyone and closed the door behind her.
Kaiya followed Ururu down the street and around a corner. That's when Ururu tugged at Kaiya's shirt. Kaiya looked down at Ururu.
"You forgot to eat your rice. I brought it for you." she said softly, holding up the small bowl of rice and some chopsticks.
Kaiya gradually took them and began eating the rice in big gulps. She was very hungry. When she was finished, Ururu took the empty bowl and chopsticks from her. Kaiya hugged Ururu in thanks. She let go as they turned another corner and down the street.
"We're almost there." said Ururu.
After walking down three streets, turning four corners, and crossing two main streets, they stood in front of the Highschool.
"Well, at least it's not small." stated Kaiya.
"I have to go. Manager-chan said to only bring you to the entrance and to give you this." Ururu placed a wrinkled piece of paper in her hands.
Great, another piece of paper. Kaiya opened it and read it.
"What?! I have to have an alias? What the hell? Why?" said Kaiya, reading the paper.
"He said it would be better to have one. And he wanted to try it out." said Ururu.
"How come I have to have an alias when Rukia doesn't? That's not fair." Kaiya pouted, still staring at the paper.
"I have to go. My manager said to walk in and go into the first room on the right and get your classes.
"Okay, thanks Ururu. Bye now!" Kaiya waved, as Ururu silently walked down the street.
"Okay, now where do I go?"
Kaiya looked around to see a few students mingling. I guess I'm not that late, freaking Urahara made me hurry for nothing. Then she heard a bell ring, and saw all of the students running inside the building. Kaiya stood there, as the last of the students entered the building. It was fairly quiet. Then she heard screaming.
"This is your fault! See now we're late again! But noooo you just had to insist we take the long way!"
Kaiya turned around to face two people.
"Hey! You were working on your hair too long this morning too! We couldn't leave because you thought you were going to have a bad hair day! And I was kidding when I said we take the long way and you said sure and didn't let me say I was thinking! It's your fault!" yelled a man with dark blue, spiky hair.
The one he was talking to was a girl with shoulder-length brownish-red hair. The girl was running and dragging the guy. Apparently, they didn't notice Kaiya standing there and rammed right into her. Papers and stuff went everywhere. While the three of them were on the floor.
"Hey! Watch where your going! You just hit this poor girl! If you weren't in such of a hurry she wouldn't have gotten pummeled by us!" yelled the guy with blue hair to the girl.
"If you hadn't made us late then I wouldn't have ran into this girl!" yelled the girl with brownish-red hair.
Kaiya sweat-dropped at them. They were arguing about getting late, now they're arguing about who's fault it was that they accidently ran into me? Such weirdos. The guy with blue hair stood up and reached for Kaiya's arm. He helped her up and then he helped the other girl up. Kaiya picked up the wrinkled piece of paper and clutched it in her hand. The girl with brownish-red hair quickly picked up her stuff and looked at Kaiya.
"Hey, I never seen you around here before. You new?" she asked, as the guy with blue hair stood next to her.
Kaiya shook her head yes.
"Well, we can help you if you want. What's your home room? By the way, I'm Kichi Ventouris. And this is-"
The guy caught off Kichi, as he made his way next to Kaiya and placed his arm around her. He smiled and Kaiya smiled awkwardly back.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm your soul mate." he said, looking down Kaiya's shirt.
Kichi quickly grabbed him away from Kaiya. Kaiya blushed a dark pink.
"Ignore him. He's such a big pervert. Though your uniform is small." said Kichi.
"Yea, the person who bought it for me got a size too small." said Kaiya, feeling embarrassed.
"It looks more like three sizes small!" said Kichi, looking at Jiro who was smirking.
"Okay...anyway what's your name? I'm-" said Kaiya, quickly looking at the piece of paper and remembering that she needed to use an alias.
"-Natalia Santamaria." Kaiya finished, placing the paper by her side.
Kichi raised an eyebrow at this, but let it go.
"The name's Jiro."
"Just Jiro? No other name?" asked Kaiya, raising an eyebrow.
He nodded his head. Kichi shook her head at Jiro's foolishness.
"Anyway, yea, what's your home room?" asked Kichi, getting back on the subject.
Kaiya looked at the piece of paper in her hand and read it out loud.
"Freshman class three."
"Hey! That's ours, too! We can take you to it." said Kichi, happily.
Kaiya nodded in gratitude, as Kichi grabbed her arm and started walking toward the entrance of the school, leaving Jiro behind.
"Hey! Wait up!" he yelled after them, as Kichi led Kaiya into the school and into the first room on the right.
They entered a small office with a lady sitting at a desk. She looked very busy. Kichi walked up to her.
"Natalia Santamaria is here to pick up her schedule."
"You do know you three are late for school? Your teacher will not be happy. Here you go." the lady said, handing Kichi a sheet of paper.
Kichi handed the paper to Kaiya and then the three of them headed out of the office, up the stairs, and down the hallway.
"So, 'Natalia Santamaria', isn't that a Spanish or Italian name?" asked Kichi.
Kaiya quickly took out the wrinkled piece of paper and looked over at it. She quickly placed it away and turned to Kichi and Jiro.
"It's Spanish. I'm Colombian." said Kaiya, trying to say it right.
"So that explains the tanned skin?" asked Jiro, looking at Kaiya's arm.
Kaiya nodded and then noticed Kichi also had tanned skin.
"What about you?" she asked.
Kichi looked at her.
"I'm Greek." Kichi answered back.
A Greek girl in Japan? Cool! Jiro and Kichi turned and stood in front of a room. The sign read, 'Freshman Class three'. Both of them stood in front of Kaiya and entered the classroom. Kaiya took a breathe.
