Heyo! Sorry I haven't been uploading in a while. Soccer's back on and I just finished the second season of the legend of Korra :) Anyway, today I'll upload two New story chapters just to get them out of my "not uploaded" list. Disclaimer:I'm not going to say this once more after this, but I don't own Bleach.


"Look who's back." Kaien said, standing with everyone else in front of the school doors. They were about to walk in when they say Riko walking towards them,"And she's actually wearing a skirt." Mutsoko added. Though she hated every second of having to wear it, Riko grudgingly agreed to the principal's order to abide by the dress code. Once she got to them, a vein popped out of her head.

"Quit starin' ya perverted pedophiles." she snapped at them, mostly at Kaien, who stuttered back,"W-What? Why I oughta-"

"Save it moron,"She interrupted,"Did I miss anything important?" Kaien thought for a moment and said,"Just a pretest in math, but nothing too big." Riko shrugged and said,"Eh, I'll get that done easy."

"Riko, you're back!" Masaki chirped before she and the other girls, except Kazumi who was flirting with Daisuke for the umpteenth time, surrounded Riko.

"Whad'ya want?" Riko asked tiredly. Masaki cheerfully answered,"We have a plan that requires you. We'll tell you all about at lunch, so let's get through the school day!" She shouted the last part before grabbing Riko's arm and running off into the school building with the other girls following with their fists in the air. The four boy's watching all sweat dropped,"What just happened," Kaien asked. Jiro said,"I think Big Sis and the others are insane." They all nodded and walked through the doors, leaving Kazumi and Daisuke, until they realized that they left them and quickly tried to catch up.


Later at Lunch

"Y-you want me t-to wha…?" Riko asked. She was sitting at the lunch table with the other girls while they explained their big plan. She stared dumbstruck while Masaki repeated her plan,"We need you to date a boy. So, how's the plan sound?"

Riko's eye twitched. Her complete silence was misjudged by Masaki who clapped her hands together and yelled in excitement,"Great! Everything's going to work out, girls!" All the other's cheered with her, but they were interrupted by a sharp yell.

"Wait a minute!" Riko yelled,"I never said I was going along with this dumb idea. What if I don't wanna date whoever this weirdo is?" Their cheering came to a complete stop and they stared at Riko with frowns. Masaki commanded,"Mutsoko, visual aid."

Mutsoko, who was sitting next to the angered kid, put Riko's head between her two hands and turned her head 45º to the right.

"What?" Riko asked, annoyed,"It's just a bunch of Sophomore guys." Masaki commanded again,"A little more to the right." Mutsoko did as she was told, and Riko's bored expression was replaced by a wide eyed, pink cheeked expression. She snapped her head around while the others laughed around,"Did the cold Riko just crush on someone without us metalling?" Neko asked Masaki, who nodded and said,"Our work here is done. Ok, let's go meet the TAC's"

"Wait," Riko pleaded,"I still never agreed to this." Mutsoko pushed her glasses up and said,"Says the one who's red in the face." Riko hid her face in her arms on the table, and Masaki tried coaxing her,"C'mon Riko, nothing bad's gonna happen."

Riko peeked her eyes out and mumbled,"I dunno. I'm having some life issues right now." Masaki kept at it,"Then this is the perfect time to lose some stress. Whataya say?" From under her arms, Riko mumbled a faint,"Fine." Making the girls cheer again.

Riko put her hands on the table to push herself off the table, but was pushed back down by a hand on the back of her neck. He forehead slammed into the table and a cocky and irritating voice whispered in her ear.

"I thought I made myself clear, shrimp," it said,"I don't really want you walkin' around in my school." Riko looked to her side to see Atsuto's smirk. She gritted her teeth and spat,"Whataya want?"

One of his buddies walked over to her other side and said,"The team doesn't like you. You're putting their self-esteem down with the bet we nearly lost Monday. We're trying to get you outta the school." Atsuto finished for his friend,"So, take another swing at me. I'm sure it'll get you expelled this time." Riko gripped the table so hard she heard the wood chipping. She let out a breath and said,"Go to hell."

"Oh, we have a mouth on this one." Atsuto commented, and the other replied,"Yea, do you kiss your mother with that mouth, kid?" Atsuto instantly retorted,"Must be why she doesn't want you."

Her hand broke a piece of the table into splinters.

Before she could do anything else, something pushed the hand off the back of her neck and the soccer players away from her. Apparently, the TAC's saw the commotion and decided to step in. Riko clutched her head in her hands, and Mutsoko noticed. While everyone was paying attention to the new guys challenging the seniors, Mutsoko crawled under the table and stole a look at Riko's face. Taking in sharp breaths, both of her eyes were surrounded by black, and a fourth of a mask had already manifested. Mutsoko pulled her under the table and out the other side, towards the doors. Once she exited, she looked down the halls to make sure no one was watching, and then she ripped off the mask. Riko dropped to the ground as her eyes drained of corruption, taking deep breaths. The mask melted in Mutsoko's hands and she made a mental note,"Made of ice, huh." She turned back to Riko.

"Watch it, Riko," Mutsoko started,"Those guys are gonna cause you all kinds of trouble, so you better get used to ignoring them." Riko pushed herself against the wall and hugged her knees. Mutsoko continued,"A fourth of your mask grew this time. One more incident, and I'm dragging you to the visoreds' hide-out."

"Then they'll know I'm in some way related to one of them," Riko countered,"I'm not aloud to give hints, ya know." Mutsoko closed her eyes and leaned against the wall,"Blame it on your father. During the war with the Quincies, his Bankai was hollowfied. Shinji's an idiot, he'll believe anything you tell him."

Riko hugged her knees tighter to hide her face, and Mutsoko heard a sniffle,"I wish the secret would stop bugging me." Riko said in a shaky voice. Mutsoko opened her eyes,"You're the most affected by it, I'm afraid." Riko started shivering,"I'll leave you alone for a while." Mutsoko said with a sigh before going back into the cafeteria.


During all that…

The lead guy of the TAC's had pulled Atsuto's hand away from Riko, and Atsuto pulled it back while scooting back a bit. Atsuto spat,"This is none of your business, Sophomore." The TAC pointed a thumb over his shoulder,"And when did this kid's life become any of your's?" He turned around and saw he was pointing to no one, but he dismissed it.

Atsuto smirked,"Ok, buddy, I see how this is. You're asking for a fight, aren't ya?"Of corse being the idiot he was, that's what he thought everything was. The guy shrugged and said,"If that's your inference of me stopping you from bullying someone smaller than you, then sure. Why not? But only if you have opponents for my friends." He pointed to the other TAC's and Atsuto smirked more,"You're a cocky bastard. Sure, I'll have your friends fight my team. After school?"

"Don't be late." The guy said, and everyone went back on with whatever they were doing. He turned around to the girls who had sat back at their table,"You girls alright?" He asked. Masaki said with pink cheeks,"Yeah, we're fine."

The guy smiled and introduced himself,"Great, I'm Kyle and this is Josh," he said pointing to the bespectacled blonde,"Matthew," the shy black haired boy,"Zach," the dark skinned tattooed guy,"Derek," thin bearded guy,"and Derek's little brother, Danny." the 12 year old.

"Cool, well I'm Masaki,"she said and started gesturing towards her own friends,"and this is Setsuna, Nanami, Neko…" she trailed off looking for missing personnel. Mutsoko popped out of no where and whispered to the others,"Riko's in the hallway. You might not wanna go out there for a few minutes." Then she pushed her glasses up. Masaki gave her a frown, but then turned back to Kyle and said,"and that's Mutsoko."

"Nice to meet you all," Kyle said,"you girls gonna watch the fight this afternoon?" Masaki nodded and said in ,"Yea, we've hated those stuck up soccer seniors since the first day of school."

"Awesome," Kyle said,"We'll see you then." He started walking away, but somone in the group of boys pushed their way to the front. It was Danny.

"Just wondering," he started, and Masaki could hear a crack of nervousness in his voice,"What's your other friend's name?" Internally, Masaki smirked, but she kept a casual look on the outside,"Oh, you mean the white-haired one. That's Riko." Danny nodded and walked back to the others

Masaki turned back to the girls and asked,"How'd those jerks find out about Riko's mom?" Everyone shrugged, but another voice answered the question.

"They eavesdropped on us during lunch on Monday," said Kaien, standing against the edge of the table with his arms crossed,"It's the last time we were talking about it, and they were probably behind the door of the rooftop exit. The others looked down, slightly ashamed that Atsuto found out from them. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch, and everyone went to their next class.


Wow! Major screwage with the mind in this one. Just goes to show you: Most Fanfic's will have bad guy and a perfect amount of people to date the main characters. I'll upload the next chapter after I do my Hw. See ya!
