Chapter 6:
As I lay on my bed, I thought, I'll be all better by tomorrow…hopefully. It was dark outside, and I knew that I should be asleep. But I must have slept enough that I couldn't sleep now. Well that's just joyous. The things that Renji and I discussed not that long ago, about school, came back to my attention. 'We also know that you girls got school." He said looking at me with a look that said there's no use in denying it. "Yeah, we thought it would make us blend in. I mean people are bound to notice a huge group of kids walking around when they're supposed to be in school." 'Thatjust replaying in my head over and over again, like a broken record.
I was curious as to what the boys will do. Did Renji tell the rest of them? Will they go to school as well? Well that's to say all of them but Ichigo, who was supposed to be in school anyway. With a sigh, I decided to not dwell on that now. Best to try to get a little more sleep. I could hear faint snoring coming from the opposite side of the room. This was odd. For one, I've been sharing a room with Rangiku for the whole time we've been here. And two, I've never shared a sleeping area with a boy. Or near one for that matter! Byakuya slept a good distance from me back in the Soul Society.
I got up, as quietly as possible for me, and went to investigate who shared my room. As I neared the sleeping person. The snoring got a tad louder. It was so dark that I literally had to lean over the person. It was Byakuya! He stirred in his sleep, and I took that opportunity to run back to bed. I did not want to wake him.
The second my head hit the pillow, I could hear that Byakuya was getting up and out of the bed. But he didn't come over to me. I slowly turned over, to make it look like I was still asleep, I watched him go to the desk. He just stood there, for awhile. But then all of a sudden, an alarm started to go off. Why was he getting up at, I stole a look at the clock, 4:45 a.m.? Is there an actual reason, or was he just getting up.
Once he shut it off, he continued to stand there. He seemed to be thinking of something. I started to hear footsteps coming towards us. "Captain, may I come in?" Renji gentle tapped the door. "You may enter. Rukia is still asleep, so keep you're voice down." He answered him. Renji quietly for him came in and the two started to talk. But I didn't really hear anything, because my head felt like it might be split in half.
I let out an unintentional moan of pain. This drew their attention towards me. Another small cry of pain slipped past my lips. The next second both Renji and Byakuya were at my side. I just decided to sit up; they knew I was awake anyway. "What's wrong Rukia?" Renji asked. "My heads killing me I said putting both hands on the sides of my head, in a pitiful attempt to stop the pain. "Do you need to stay home from your classes again to day?" Byakuya inquired. I shook my head no. "I'll get you some Tylenol and you should try to sleep at least another hour." Renji said.
"No, just the medicine, then I'll be up." I said not making a move to get up yet. Renji had left past this point, and Byakuya had gone to the bathroom. Renji soon returned and I gladly accepted the pain relievers. "Thanks." I said giving him a small smile. "You're welcome. Oh by the way, your uniform is in the room Masimoto's staying in. we thought it would be easier for you when you went to get ready." He said. "Well you and Byakuya are really looking out for me aren't you?" I said and that's when Byakuya made his reappearance.
"I think that I'll take my leave so I can get ready for school. Thank you." I said getting up and heading for Masimoto's room. The time that it took for me to get completely ready was a blur. Along with the actual getting to school. But once at school things got interesting. When I went to school here before my execution, I would arrive about a half an hour early. But when I go there at the exact same time as always, I was met with everyone being there. And when I say everyone, I mean the whole class.
They were in a crowd around some people I couldn't see. (No pun intended…ok maybe there was, but that's far from the point of the story) "Hey what's going on?" I asked Ishida. "Oh, it seems that all the Shinigami in the area have chosen to go to this school. And the students are 'welcoming' them." He said in a very bored tone. The bell rang soon after my little run in explanation with Ishida.
"Okay class, take you seats, except all the newbies." The teacher bellowed over the commotion. "These are Renji Abarai, Kisuke Urahara, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Zaraki Kenpachi. They have asked me to tell you not to ask them questions, and to just give them space." She said. And with that, we jumped into our studies.
It seemed like forever before the lunch bell rang. I stood up with as much grace and dignity that I could muster from my weak and tired body. I don't know how the hell I can be so tired ALL THE TIME!!! It is getting rather annoying. I like the other girls had brought a lunch, and headed outside to the shady tree where we ate lunch. "So you guys actually showed up." Yoruichi asked biting into a rice ball. And that's the only part of the conversation I heard.
"Rukia what do you think?" Momo asked. When I didn't answer she began to wave her hand in front of my face. "What? I wasn't listening did you say something." All of them just stared at me and I looked at them. "We asked you're opinion on the assignment." Yachiru said with a giggle. "I think it's just like any other assignment, nothing special, just our job." Then the bell rang again. But instead of heading to the classroom, I headed to the locker room. Following me was Orihime, Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Yachiru.
"Wonder what we're doing today, I pray it's not dodge ball." Hime said. "I think it's track for both groups." I said changing quickly. "I hate how short these shorts are." Yachiru said slipping them one. They were after all basically swimsuit bottoms past off with a baggy shirt to create a gym uniform. We walked out and found out that it was indeed track for everyone. We lined up and when the whistle blew ran like there was no tomorrow.
After I started running everything else just past by me in a blur, and the next thing I know, I'm at home. I instantly fall down onto the bed and let its comfort engulf me. But I soon grew restless and I went down stairs for food. It was strange, while I was upstairs, I didn't see Renji or Byakuya. And they aren't down stairs either. Weird, but nothing to worry about. I stood in the living room, while the bread in the toaster got brown. It was then that I heard some noises coming from behind me.
I turn to see nothing. I start to walk back to the kitchen, when a pair of strong arms pulled me to someone. A hand was clamped down over my mouth so that I couldn't scream. "You're coming with me like the good girl I know you are." A male with a husky voice whispered in my ear. I struggled against him, trying desperately to rid myself of him, but to no avail. "Now, now don't put up a fight. But just in case." He never finished his sentence, and the whole world went black.
When I awoke I was in a bedroom that was unfamiliar to me. I look over to see that Yachiru, Yoruichi, Momo, Orihime, and Rangiku were also there, but they were either sleeping or knocked out at the moment. But on the other side of the room, was a man. I suspect he was the man to do this to us. He saw that I was awake and started toward me. By the pure grace of God, all the others woke up at the exact moment that he reached me. He was so close to me that I could feel his breath.
Out of fear and determination to escape, I punched the man with all I was worth. The girls got up and all, at once, tackled him full force. "A little help in here!!!" he shouted. I knew that voice, and at that moment in piled Ichigo, Kenpachi, Byakuya, Urahara, and Hitsugaya. If all of them are there, then that means only one person can be under them. "Renji?!" I hissed at him. "What the hell is going on?" demanded Rangiku.
"AIR!!" screamed Renji. All of them just got off and then proceeded to stare at a boy. Well knowing that I couldn't glare at my brother, I drew my attention to Renji, who was currently doing a great impression of fish out of water. "We were just pranking you girls back, you know for the one time when we first got here." Urahara said with that god-awful smile. "Nice one, but if you'll excuse me." I said getting up and heading for my room. Which I noticed was just next door.
The only reason the room looked unfamiliar was because, it was Ichigo's dad's room. The one room I have never been in. The other's follow as I headed to do my homework. That's when a very long and interesting talk started, the kind that changes your thoughts on something. It made me think will I or will I not go to prom.
