Chapter 4
Renji and Ichigo were on their way to the alternative school when Renji saw someone. His eyes darted to watch the person as Ichigo drove by the guy. Byakuya... Renji emphasized while seeing someone walk out of the store those they driven by. Ichigo looked at what had his friend's attention seeing Rukia's brother standing talking to another male.
"Upset about the fact he's talking to someone else that's not you?" Ichigo asked letting his curiousity take over.
"Not just anyone. That's his lover, Kenpachi Zaraki." Renji answered facing forward once again.
"... Really..." Ichigo responded with nothing really to say.
"Yeah." Renji nodded agreeing with his own statement.
Ichigo started driving again seeing that the light had changed colors. Renji was deep into his thoughts while looking at the cars in front of him; I lost all my chances... I had to wait until he thought I was attractive. The worst damn idea that I had ever gotten. I'm such a dumbass. Ichigo turned a corner heading toward the direction where the other school was seeing students outside having a cigarette.
Renji had a small smile traced upon his lips. "This is my type of place."
Ichigo rolled his eyes and parked beside a motorcycle. "Great."
Ichigo and Renji started getting out of the car when they saw the principal coming their direction. Renji's mouth was agapped from the look of the principal while Ichigo was getting his bag from the back. Ichigo turned around to see a visual of Renji with his mouth hanging down looking at a direction. The Kurosaki looked at what the Abarai's eyes was hooked on and his eyes widened. At the sametime Renji and Ichigo thought, That's our principal! The principal stopped a bit away from them with a smirk playing onto his lips.
"I'm your new principal, Sosuke Aizen. I'm glad that you became a part of our school society." Sosuke announced with the smirk still upon his lips.
Renji looked at each at the corner of his eyes. "Why did you come to meet us, isn't it supposed to be the vice?"
"It's better to get an idea of what you're dealing with, when you meet that person with your own prescence." Sosuke answered turning his back to the two starting to walk off.
The two of them followed behind the man seeing the students up close. The students watched as the new meat was walking by them with caution. They trailed behind feeling eyes on them while they continued with their pace. They weren't there to fight or anything else, but if they had to fight they would. Ichigo looked at the scenary taking it all in unlike Renji, who was taking it all in with stride. They were heading to the office where Sosuke mainly takes his stay for the school day. Renji just wanted to know what he had to do for community service for Ichigo the same as well.
They made it to the the office seeing one of the employees talking to another. He stood there with a creepy grin that wasn't fading. Sosuke looked toward him then continued on his way. The man with the grin turned his attention back to the person in front of him, then continued talking to the person that had his attention first. The principal stopped before they were a foot away from the office.
"Do behave in my prescence or you wouldn't like what I would give you for all your troubles." Sosuke then opened the door to the office walking within his office.
The two teenagers walked in seeing that it was clean and well organized. The eyes of the Kurosaki landed on a guy who was tall and very lanky with a murderous grin. In the office was another with light blue hair with a slight grin upon his face when he saw the two walk in. He saw that they were glancing at the other teenager and not him which were distasteful to him.
"Ignore those two. Come." Aizen said going into his office.
Aizen saw the two walk after he said the words. The two saw how the principal's office looked in their eyes it didn't look like a principal's office at all. In the eyes of the two newcomers they wouldn't be used to it. Aizen chuckled while starting to sit down within his seat noticing that his students were starting to do the same. The two students sat down seeing that Aizen was settled in first.
"What is our community service?" Ichigo asked concerned of what he has to do.
"It's nothing much on your part. All you have to do is keep Nnoitora company for four months. Hmm... Let's make it five months. I need someone to keep an eye on him for me, besides the police." Sosuke answered giving a little smirk.
"Who's Nnoitora?" Ichigo wondered.
"I'll introduce you after." Sosuke then looked at Renji.
"What?" Renji said after seeing Sosuke's eyes stare towards him.
"Your community service is quite messy. You have to keep an eye on Grimmjow, be friends with him. Make sure he doesn't do anything to hasty. He can't do anything against his parol." Sosuke retorted pouring a glass of tea.
"Does Nnoitora have parol?"
"Yes." Sosuke answered.
"Oh great." Ichigo said with a sense of sarcasm.
"You two would be in the same classes as those two." Sosuke said with a smirk still upon his lips while grabbing their schedules. "Here are your schedules."
They took their schedules into their hands noticing that they weren't the same. In the end, they were in seperate classes whether they liked it or not. They looked at Sosuke's face seeing that it hasn't changed. He was being dead serious about them being in the same classes of the two that they have to keep an eye on. They heard someone come in seeing that it was the same man from the hall with the creepy grin.
"Oh, Aizen, do you want to see them now?" The man questioned.
"Yes, send the two in, Gin."
Gin shut the door then the door opened again with the two that was sitting down on the couch in the main office. The two of them sat down away from each other on oneside of the two in the middle of them. Ichigo looked at them then at the principal while his eyes traced the outline of the two he'd never seen. Renji did the exact opposite he sat there ignoring the two and kept his eyes on the man in front of him. Gin came back in after those two were in the seats and stood next to Sosuke Aizen.
"Well, you two must be the fresh meat." Gin assumed right with his smile still plastered on his face.
"These two are Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai." Sosuke announced to three.
"Well, it's a pleasure." Gin said acquainting himself with the two.
"These two students are Nnoitora which is the tall one and the other is Grimmjow." Sosuke said letting the four know each other.
"I'm Gin Ichimaru, by the way. I'm your teacher and vice principal." Gin annnouced to the new comers.
"You may all leave. You two have two days detention." Sosuke announced before Grmmjow and Nnoitora made their exit.
Chad and the others were sitting down eatting their lunch feeling two people short. Uryuu looked at everyone with his eyes seeing that everyone didn't know what to talk about. The group was deafly quiet without Renji and Ichigo and even Uryuu has to admit it. Uryuu doesn't want it to be always like this when the two of them are gone. Uryuu looked at Rukia who was drinking out of a juice box.
"Rukia, did you finally get done unpacking?" Orihime asked with a smile.
Rukia looked at Uryuu. "Yeah, but the problem is that Renji will still find our house whether we move or not."
"I thought your brother was single?" Orihime asked a little confused.
Rukia shook her head. "No, he's with someone."
Chad looked at Rukia. "How is your brother?"
"He's great since his lover's back." Rukia admitted.
"Hey, Izuru wants to join you guys." Shuuhei said sitting on the otherside of Uryuu.
Izuru sat down next to Chad. "Hello."
"We really don't know what to talk about." Shuuhei admitted.
"Well, let's talk about..." Orihime said going into thought.
"Where are Ichigo and Renji?" Izuru questioned seeing no sight of the two.
"They went to the alternative school." Uryuu answered.
Shuuhei shrugged. "That's what we heard, but we weren't too sure about it."
"Didn't Renji say that you and him used to hang out together in middle school, Izuru?" Uryuu asked.
"Yes, but that was a long time ago." Izuru answered holding onto Chad's hand.
"That's interesting. He never mentioned anything like that before." Rukia admitted knowing Renji the best out of the group.
"Renji keeps a lot of things to himself. He doesn't want anyone into his business." Izuru retorted.
Shuuhei nodded. "He's like that unlike Ichigo. Ichigo is easy to read, but Renji is harder to read."
"We don't really know much about him ourselves." Izuru admitted.
Uryuu looked at them then stood up knowing what they said is true. They know nothing about Renji, but they know plenty about Ichigo out of everyone in their group. Ichigo was on the forefront of his mind at the moment and he knew that this was talking about Renji and Ichigo. He just can't take it right now since he was upset that Ichigo had to leave the school. It's all that Abarai's fault for getting him into trouble all the time. Ichigo doesn't belong at that alternative school unlike Renji. With that thought he walked off into the school remembering what the note had said.
He headed toward the classroom where Kaname wanted to meet him. The door was open for him to walk in without a knock to be noticed. Uryuu turned into the classroom seeing Kaname in there waiting for him to appear. Kaname poured a cup of tea for himself then walked over to the Ishida seeing that he walked in and didn't shut the door. Tousen sat down after doing so he sat down on a desk with Uryuu standing near the door. Ishida looked at the blind man seeing that he was calm and collected with his thoughts.
"Uryuu, he'll be fine. You said yourself." Kaname said.
Uryuu was stunned. "Why would you say that? I know what I've said."
"It seems that you don't want him to be there." Tousen said taking a sip of his tea.
"How dare you! You have no reason to know how I feel about this situation." Uryuu admitted.
Kaname looked at his direction. "You're still going to be able to see him just not at school. It's no one's fault but his own."
"It's always Renji's fault if Ichigo gets in trouble." Uryuu retorted.
"Maybe so, but Ichigo also agrees with it even though he knows it's wrong." Kaname retorted.
Uryuu realized that he was right. "You made your point, sensei."
Kaname went over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't blame it all on Renji. Don't be so upset that you can't be with him during school hours anymore. There is no reason for you to let someone bring you down like that."
"Thanks, sensei, I suppose." Uryuu then walked out of the classroom then headed back to the others.
When Uryuu left the classroom he started to head back to his friends. When he got back up there they seemed to be having a more pleasant time than they did earlier in the lunch. They all threw away their trash seeing that their friend had decided to make a reappearance. Uryuu sat with them once again noticing that a conversation was going at the moment with him staying quiet not to intrude to see what they are talking about.
"Sorry. Did I upset you, Uryuu?" Shuuhei asked Uryuu once he sat.
"No." Uryuu answered while looking at Shuuhei at the corner of his eyes.
Lunch was almost over when they decided to head back to class. Uryuu headed back to class seeing Kaname walk by making his cheeks become a little dabbed with pink. Rukia noticed this seeing that Uryuu was blushing with the thought, What's going on here? Everything is just getting turned upside down I think. Does Uryuu have feelings for Tousen? Rukia shook that thought from her head then continued walking while a little glance to Shuuhei occured with her eyes. Things aren't the same without Renji and Ichigo around that's for sure. Uryuu thought looking at Rukia.
Renji walked next to Grimmjow to their next class. Grimmjow looked at him while he walked on ahead. Renji knew that Grimmow didn't like this that much, but neither does Renji for one. Renji saw Ichigo up ahead seeing that he was walking a little behind Nnoitora. Ichigo looked depressed for being stuck with a guy that despises him so much. Renji and Grimmjow get along on certain things, but not on a lot of things. Ichigo looked at Renji seeing that things were going well for him while things were horrible for him. Renji chuckled and continued on his way to the next class with Grimmjow.
"Grimmjow." A voice said.
Grimmjow turned around. "Szayelaporro Granz, what do you want?"
"You know what I want." Szayel said with a calm look on his face.
Szayel walked up to Grimmjow and started talking to him ignoring Nnoitora who was walking by. Ichigo saw that Nnoitora had a disgusted look upon his face even more well seen since Szayel came up to Grimmjow. Grimmjow took Szayel into his arms while Renji stood there unsure what was happening at the moment. Szayel looked at the redhead on the otherside of Grimmjow.
"Who's that? A new student?" Szayel questioned knowing that he'd never seen him.
"Yeah, Abarai is his name." Grimmjow answered looking at the pink hair man.
"Renji Abarai. That's my name." Renji retorted correcting Grimmjow.
"Well, you don't seem that impressive." Szayel rudely said.
"You remind me of someone." Renji said pretty sure of the person pictured in his memories. Kurotsuchi... Definitely.
"Are you going to model at my fashion show tonight, Grimmjow?" Szayel questioned.
Grimmjow scoffed. "Do I have a choice."
"Of course not." Szayel retorted.
Szayel walked away going to his next class to make sure to be there on time. Grimmjow continued to the class that he and Renji had next, with the Abarai thinking about the escapade he had many times with his own teacher. Renji continued to think about Kurotsuchi for the minutes to the next class. Ichigo sat down next to Nnoitora in the class that he and Nnoitora had next. It was different for him since he's not used to traveling to one class to another unless it was gym. Nnoitora looked at the orange haired teenager seeing him looking at a picture of Uryuu that Renji gave him. He doesn't want to know how he got that picture as much as he doesn't want to know how he got his car.
"He's fuckin' hot." Nnoitora said looking at the picture.
Ichigo glared at Nnoitora. "Shut the hell up."
"I can't help it since you haven't hit his ass just yet. He seems fuckin' easy." Nnoitora said with a grin.
"You stay away from him, you bastard." Ichigo retorted with a glare.
"I'm so damn scared of you, strawberry bitch." Nnoitora said looking in front of him.
"You annoy me, asshole." Ichigo mumbled below his breath.
Ichigo and Renji were waitiing for the bell to ring for hours. Renji felt more at place in the high school than he did in the other. Ichigo feels more out of place than Renji knowing this isn't where he's supposed to be. He's supposed to be at the same high school where his friends and his boyfriend is. Ichigo wished he could be back there, but since he's here he has to make the best out of the worst of it.
Renji was easily getting along with people in the alternative school. Renji was taking it a lot better than his partner in crime. This is his punishment, but he's going to live it out here. He was told that following Grimmjow is his community service, but it's not as bad as he thought it would be. Though, he doesn't understand how come he's here just yet, but he thinks it's because he almost killed someone or he did.
Ichigo heard the bell ring, but left only when Nnoitora did. Nnoitora waited for someone who was carrying his bag for him. He is going to be a pain in the ass. Ichigo thought seeing another with an eyepatch. Ichigo then started to walk to his car when Renji came out of the school to join his friend within the car. Nnoitora stood there and watched as they left with Grimmjow doing the same.
Ichigo drove to his other friends' high school seeing Uryuu waiting for him. Renji climbed into the backseat to view his partner with his boyfriend. Orihime climbed in once Uryuu got into the passenger side. Everyone got into the car except Chad since he was walking Izuru home. Ichigo drove off toward the house of where Renji lived before he could drop off Orihime, Rukia then Uryuu.
"What happened at the school?" Rukia asked.
"I found out my community service is five months to look after a guy named Nnoitora." Ichigo answered looking at Uryuu at the corner of his eyes.
"What about you, Renji?" Orihime asked looking at Renji.
Renji looked out the window. "I got stuck with nine months' community service looking after a guy named Grimmjow."
"That doesn't seem all that bad." Rukia retorted.
"It isn't." Ichigo and Renji responded.
In a few minutes they were in front of Renji's house. Renji unlocked the door of where he was sitting opening the door. Renji said bye and got out shutting the door heading to the door of his house. He heard the car drive off while he headed inside shutting the door behind him. He walked toward the kitchen smelling food preparing. Once he was in the kitchen he saw that Mayuri was cooking himself something good and tinkering around with an invention.
"It smells good in here." Renji announced himself home.
"Make your own food." Mayuri announced messing with a beaker.
"Why should I when you're already making dinner?" Renji said wrapping an arm around Mayuri.
Mayuri felt that. "Enough, Abarai. Go do your homework instead of bothering me."
"Really, huh." Renji started kissing down Mayuri's neck.
Mayuri pushed him away and went toward the stove turning it off. The dinner for himself was done and started making himself a plate of what was on the stove. Renji went upstairs to go get into the shower to get ready for bed. Renji took down his hair heading into the shower with a kimono hanging in the bathroom. Renji heard Mayuri downstairs making noises with his experiments.
Ichigo drove up to the house of Orihime's seeing that her house lights were still off. Orihime smiled and said goodbye heading up to the house seeing that her door was still locked. Orihime unlocked the door while hearing Ichigo's car left the house. Orihime walked into her house seeing that a distant light was on. A smile was still plastered onto her face while she walked toward the light. When she saw that the light was coming from the livingroom she settled down onto the couch. A note was left there next to the burning light.
Orihime picked it up and started to read it while the light was still shining. Orihime put the note up to her chest with a smile on her face while getting up. She headed toward the kitchen to start making herself some dinner. She put the note down on the table in the dining room to not let it get dirty. The note had her name on it while it was folded on the table. She started humming while remembering what she just read a few moments ago.
Inoue Orihime, Let's make it official tonight. - Ulquiorra Cifer
In a few minutes there was a knock on the door, which Orihime went to go answer. She opened the door seeing that it was Ulquiorra while she opened the door he started coming in with one of his hands in a pocket. Ulquiorra headed towards the kitchen where he could smell one of Orihime's odd tastes of food being created. He turned it off and went off toward the door to grab Orihime's jacket.
"We're going out." Ulquiorra said holding out her jacket.
Orihime smiled happily. "Okay."
She grabbed onto her jacket that he held out for her. She doesn't know where they are going, but she thinks that it should be fine. They were never an official couple so they never counted all of the times they went out with one another. They never could count them as dates, but today is their first official date. Orihime walked at Ulquiorra's pace wanting to hold his hand, but she knew that Ulquiorra wouldn't like that sometimes. At least she knows what he dislikes and what he likes before they started their official dating.
Orihime looked at the guy beside her. "Ulquiorra."
"What?" Ulquiorra responded.
"I'm happy." Orihime said with a smile.
"I know." Ulquiorra said with a stoic attitude.
"I have to work tomorrow by the way." Orihime said just remembering.
Ulquiorra looked at her with his eyes. "Hm..."
"Don't you have to?" Orihime asked.
"Yes." Ulquiorra answered.
Orihime smiled while she felt a sense of bliss between her and Ulquiorra. In the moment that had passed, Ulquiorra put his hand inside his pocket and continued walking beside his girlfriend. Ulquiorra looked at her smiling face seeing that she was extremely happy. Even though he's not bothering doing anything at the moment to make her happy. Orihime wanted to be with him even when he's not that romantic toward anyone. They care about each other, but it doesn't seem that way when it comes from Ulquiorra, but he does.
Ichigo realized that he didn't even know where Rukia now lived. Rukia started to direct where her house was while Ichigo started driving in the directions he was told to go in. He went toward the last direction finding the house under Rukia's direction. He stopped the car in front of her house seeing that there was dinner in the kitchen being made. He could smell it coming outside through the window.
Rukia got out of the car saying bye then heading to the door to see that it was unlocked waiting for her. She opened the door with the sound of the car horn for their bye. Rukia took her shoes off once inside and headed toward the kitchen for early dinner. Rukia went toward the kitchen to see if Byakuya was really cooking dinner this early. Byakuya was cooking dinner enough for himself and the rest of everyone else in the house. Kenpachi was napping on the couch with Yachiru playing around in the livingroom.
They were waiting for dinner to be done cooking. Rukia started on her homework while she waited for dinner to be done with. She was in the livingroom where everyone else was. Yachiru was playing around with some toys that Byakuya had bought her while Kenpachi was in the psychiatric ward. She is happy that he is back since Byakuya was depressed after he had been taken away from him. Yachiru didn't want Kenpachi to go to the ward since she was going to miss her father. Rukia understood that since Yachiru is just a little girl whose attached to Kenpachi.
"Dinner is ready." Byakuya announced with his body standing outside the kitchen.
"Yeah!" Yachiru jolted to the kitchen seeing that the food was prepared.
Rukia headed toward the kitchen seeing Yachiru already eating. She sighed while sitting down beside Yachiru starting to eat with some etiquette. Byakuya went to go wake up Kenpachi who was stuck in his nap. Rukia swears that Kenpachi doesn't belong in this time at all sometimes. Kenpachi came into the kitchen making his plate then went to the dining room table to eat with everyone else. Byakuya did the same sitting beside his lover on the other side of the table. They were all eating with total silence around the table the way Byakuya likes it.
Rukia went to her room after her dish was cleaned of all food residence. In her mind she wondered why everyone was obsessing over their significant other, but she understood. She once thought that her and Ichigo were going to be together for a long time, but that wasn't going to happen. Ichigo was with Ishida Uryuu now not her, but she has her doubts about that relationship too. Ichigo once said to her that something didn't feel right about being with her right after they had their anniversary, their eighth month anniversary. She's hoping it doesn't happen to Uryuu because that means he's going to break up with you.
"Ichigo, don't hurt Uryuu like you did to me." Rukia voiced with a concerned tone.
Uryuu sat there in silence in the car with just the two of them. He's been quiet the wholetime thinking about what Kaname Tousen had said to him. He looked at Ichigo understanding how hard it is for him to transition from one place to another. He never would've thought that this was going to be the thing to seperate them. Uryuu had always thought that it was going to be their non-stop arguing, but that wan't it. Ichigo looked at Uryuu noticing that he was looking at him with his eyes knowing that he felt bad for him.
"Uryuu, it's alright." Ichigo reassured him.
Uryuu retorted. "I know. I just don't understand why this is happening to us."
Ichigo parked the car in front of Uryuu's house seeing that his father wasn't home. He then looked at the other male that was getting ready to get out of the car. Uryuu noticed this with his hand ready to let him out of the car. Ichigo looked at him with his borrowing within Uryuu's own eyes. Uryuu turned his head away then opened the door.
"I'm happy you came out of that school alive. I didn't expect you to." Uryuu got out of the car.
Ichigo chuckled. "Thanks, Uryuu."
Uryuu went toward his house while Ichigo watched him walk away. Ichigo started driving away knowing that Uryuu would be fine. Ichigo headed home himself leaving his boyfriend and his friends behind. Uryuu hopes that Ichigo can last a month without having sex, but he doesn't know how bad Ichigo's sex drive is. He estimates that it's probably just as bad as Renji's. He can't be too sure about until he does it with him himself. Ichigo lasted this long without sex, so Uryuu thinks that he can last one more month.
