"Wake up Rebecca, it's time to go to school" Inoue said getting dressed.
"Nngh, m'k. I'm gettin' up" she said sitting up and rubbing her eyes. She obviously was not a morning person.
Inoue had a spare school uniform, and gave it to Rebecca.
"Here, it's my spare school uniform. I asked Ishida last night if he could let Kuchiki-san borrow his spare uniform since the two are close in size. So he has one also" Inoue said.
"Oh, ok. That's good, but does the teacher know that we're coming?" asked Rebecca pulling off her pajama shirt.
"Yepp, I called last night, and she's going to introduce you to the class" Inoue said pulling up her skirt.
"Awesome" Rebecca replied putting on the school shirt.
"Oh, that looks good on you Rebecca" Inoue said after she had put on the school uniform.
"Thanks, but it really shows just how flat I am though" she said looking disappointed in the mirror. "Of course you don't have a problem with that do you?" she said chuckling.
"Haha, I guess I can't say I do" Inoue said grabbing her bag.
"Well I'll go make some toast for breakfast" Rebecca said opening the door.
When she walked out, she found three plates of pancakes sitting on the table with orange juice.
"Wow! Did you make these?" she asked Inoue.
"No, Kuchiki-san must have made it" she said from the room.
"By the way where is he? Is his still getting dressed?" she said walking over to his door.
"Yo Bya, you still getting dressed?" she asked walking in.
Byakuya was in front of the mirror adjusting his scarf and hair pieces.
"Bya, you can't wear those to school!" Rebecca said walking over to him.
"Why not?" he asked.
"You'll draw way to much attention" she said pulling off his scarf and taking out his hair pieces.
"There" she said once he was just wearing his school uniform.
"Ah, you look hot without your scarf and hair pieces" she said looking into the mirror.
"Thank you" he said.
"No prob., you made breakfast didn't you?" she asked.
"Yes, I wanted you and Inoue to take a break from cooking" he said walking out.
"Thanks!" she said. "It looks great."
"Good morning Kuchiki-san" Inoue said.
"Good morning Inoue" he said sitting down at the table, as did the other two.
"Itadakimasu" they said and ate breakfast.
After eating, the three walked to school.
"Oh Orehime, last night you were sleep talking" Rebecca said.
"Really? What did I say?" she asked.
"It was hilarious, you said out of nowhere 'No, don't eat the banana! It has a mustache!' I was laughing so hard cause it was so random" Rebecca said chuckling.
"A banana?" she asked. "Well I did eat one before I went to bed last night."
"Ah, that explains it" Rebecca said.
"By the way, how did it go with your mom last night?" asked Inoue.
"Hm, I guess it went okay. She won't be bothering me anymore" she said. "Although when I came back I was hit in the head with a broom" Rebecca said looking over at Byakuya.
"I thought you were a robber" he replied.
"Okay okay" she said as they walked up to school.
Once they got inside, Rebecca and Byakuya waited outside of the classroom to be introduced.
"Okay everyone, we have two new transfer students, and one is from America" the teacher said. "Please come in you two."
Rebecca and Byakuya stood in front of the classroom.
"Please introduce yourselves and write your names on the board" the teacher said.
"I am Kuchiki Byakuya, nice to meet you" Byakuya said writing his name on the board.
"Oh, and um, well I am Smith Rebecca, nice to meet you" she said starting to get nervous. Although she knew how to write in Japanese, she did not know how to convert her name, so she just wrote it in English.
The class started whispering, like it did when other transfer students came. Although Rebecca was starting to get nervous.
Byakuya could tell that she was fidgety and whispered to her.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little claustrophobic of guys" she said.
"Okay you two go take those seats in the back next to Orehime" the teacher told them.
So Rebecca and Byakuya took the two seats in the back where Inoue was sitting and class started.
"Ugh, I hate school" Rebecca said stretching once class was over.
"Well you're the one who wanted to come here" said Byakuya.
"Yeah" she said.
Keigo then ran up to Rebecca from the front of the class. "Hey baby" he said in English.
Mizuiro then came behind him and whacked him in the head with a book.
"That was from Ichigo since he's not here" he said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Mizuiro" he said looking at Rebecca and Byakuya.
Suddenly Chizuru came behind Rebecca and grabbed her breasts.
"Darling" she said in English.
Just as Tatsuki was about to go punch Chizuru, Rebecca turned around.
"You mock me for being almost flat don't you" she said with an evil look in her eyes.
"N-No maam'! Forgive me darling!" Chizuru said bowing.
It was now lunch time, and they were eating in the classroom.
Rebecca was now getting very nervous as guys looked at her from the other side of the room.
"B-Bya" she whispered to him as there were girls surrounding his desk.
"Yes Rebecca?" he said.
"Will you come eat lunch with me on the roof?" she asked.
"If you want to" he replied.
"Okay, let's go!" she said grabbing his arm and pulling him from the crowd of girls.
"Rebecca, Kuchiki-san!" Inoue said.
The two ran upstairs to the roof with their lunches.
"Phew, it's like they treat us like idols" she said.
"Yeah, I cannot say that it was enjoyable being surrounded by girls" Byakuya said.
So the two ate lunch on the roof and came back to the classroom once class was starting.
They came in the room to see Tatsuki stepping on Keigo and everybody bowing down.
"Say your sorry for scaring off the transfer students" Tatsuki said.
"We are sorry" said almost all of the students bowing.
"A-No it's fine, really. It's my fault, I'm a little claustrophobic, no need to apologize" she said waving her hands in dismissal.
"Everyone, lunch break is over" the teacher said as the bell rang. "Please take your seats."
After class, it was the end of the day and everybody headed home.
"Let's go Bya, Orehime said that she's going to go grocery shopping today" Rebecca said picking up her bag.
"Okay" he said putting his books into his bag.
"You two must be really close, you seem to get along well" Tatsuki said walking up to their desks.
"Yeah well" she said before a girl leaned over her shoulder and whispered to her.
"Hey are you dating him?" she asked.
"Wha- No, not really!" she said as she was blushing.
"(What the hell am I blushing at, this is stupid)" she though.
"If not, then Byakuya-sama would you mind going on a date with me tomorrow?" asked the girl.
"I cannot go tomorrow. I am going somewhere with Rebecca tomorrow" Byakuya said trying to get out of going on a date with the girl.
"I thought you said you weren't dating him" said the girl.
"I-I told you, I'm not.." she said as Tatsuki gave an evil glare to the girl.
"Didn't I say not to harass the new students" Tatsuki said.
"Uh yeah sorry" the girl said walking away.
"Sorry about that" Tatsuki said. "You want to walk home together?" she asked.
"Yeah sure!" Rebecca replied.
So the three of them went to Inoue's house.
"Cool, I didn't know that you fought" Rebecca said. "Some time I'll have to duel ya" she said stopping at Inoue's house.
Byakuya walked up the steps leaving the other two girls.
"You two are staying at Orehime's house?" she asked.
"Yeah, we just came to Japan a few days ago and Orehime was an old friend of his" Rebecca said trying her best to come up with a story quickly.
Rebecca's iphone then went off. It was an allancar.
"(Crap)" she thought.
"Hey well I have to go, see you tomorrow Tatsuki!" Rebecca said running in the house.
"Oh, yeah see you tomorrow"
Once Rebecca got in the door, she used Su (her modified soul) and leapt out the window in her shinigami form.
"I've got this one Bya" Rebecca said leaving.
As she left the window, she passed Tatsuki thinking that she couldn't see her.
"Rebecca? What are you doing?" she asked.
"You can see me?" Rebecca said surprised.
"Yeah, I can see spirits and stuff. Are you a shinigami like Ichigo?"
"Um yeah, I'm impressed you even know what I am"
"Yeah, well even though I can see things like you I don't have any special powers or.." she said as suddenly she was on top of a roof.
"What? What happened?" she asked as Rebecca was standing next to her.
"I felt the allancars reiatsu come behind you, it must be able to turn invisible" she said.
"What's an allancar?" Tatsuki asked.
"It's sort of like a mix between a hollow and a shinigami" Rebecca explained.
"Oh I see, but how did we get up here? Did we teleport or something?"
"Nope, you're looking at the fastest shinigami ever" she said smiling.
"Oh cool, so.." Tatsuki said as she was now up in a tree.
"Stay here, I'm going to go kill that thing" Rebecca said.
So Rebecca followed the reiatsu to where the seemingly invisible allancar was.
"Who are you?" she asked it.
"I'm surprised you could find me, I tried to keep my reiatsu hidden. I guess this will be a little tougher than I thought since I've already released my sword" it said.
"So your swords ability is to turn invisible?" she asked.
"Nope, it lets me take the form of anything. Including air" it said.
"Now that's pretty interesting" she said smirking. "Although you just gave me a dead giveaway on how to defeat you."
"Haha, as if a mear teenager could beat a master like me" it said.
"Are you really tryin' to piss me off now?" she asked getting mad.
"Only a child would get mad over such a matter" it teased her.
"Tsk, who's a child kiddo" she said.
"What do you mean?" it asked.
"Look at yourself" she said.
All of the air around the allancar had been contaminated with dust, making the outline of the small allancar very noticeable.
"You bitch, what did you do?" it asked panicking.
"While you blinked I scattered dirt in the air. Even a ten year old could think to do something like that. I mean, if your disguised as your surroundings, then just change it and it will make you visible" Rebecca said smirking. "And who would have thought you would have been so small."
The outline of the allancar resembled a young boy, most likely no more than the age of 10.
"I'll kill you!" it said leaping at Rebecca.
It looked as if he had stabbed her as his sword was clearly visible now.
"Haha, I've won! You bratty girl, I beat you!" he said laughing.
Rebecca then looked up.
"Sorry brat" she said moving her elbow to show that she had trapped the sword in-between her elbow and her ribs to have made it looked like he stabbed her.
"Y-You .." he said as Rebecca grabbed his sword with her bare hand.
"Sorry, but your dead now" she said pulling back her other hand and punching him very hard.
The small allancar flew back into the tree next to the one that Rebecca had but Tatsuki in, and the impact made the base of the tree shatter, instantly killing the allancar.
"Hmph" Rebecca said looking at the tree. "I wonder how people will try and explain that" she said chuckling at the though.
"Tatsuki, are you okay?" Rebecca asked as she appeared next to her in the tree.
"Umm, yeah. You seem different from Ichigo though, I didn't even see you pull your sword" she said.
"Yeah, I guess I am a little different from the other shinigami" Rebecca said. "Need some help down?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, sure" Tatsuki said.
So Rebecca carried Tatsuki out of the tree and set her on the ground.
"Thanks"
"No problem" Rebecca said.
"Hey Tatsuki, Rebecca!" Inoue said walking on the street behind them.
"Hi Orehime" they both said walking over to her.
"What happened here?" she asked looking at the shattered tree.
"Just an allancar, don't worry. I took care of it easy as pie" Rebecca replied.
"Yeah, she was pretty cool!" Tatsuki said. "She was all like 'Haha I have your sword now die'" Tatsuki said making hand movements.
"Haha, I guess so" Rebecca said at the odd explanation.
"Well then if it's done with, why don't you have dinner with us tonight Tatsuki?" Inoue asked.
"Really? Okay, sure" Tatsuki replied.
So the three girls walked up to Inoue's house and entered. After they got in, Tatsuki offered to cook dinner.
"Hey guys, why don't I cook dinner tonight?" she asked.
"You sure?" they asked.
"Yeah, I'm actually in the mood for cooking" she said trying to not have Inoue cook the food as she knew that it never turned out well.
"Thanks Tatsuki" Inoue said.
"No problem, you went grocery shopping right?"
"Yeah, you can use whatever" Inoue said putting the bag on the counter.
"I'm gunna go tell Bya that I took care of the allancar, thanks for cookin' Tatsuki" Rebecca said.
"Sure thing"
So Rebecca walked over to Byakuya's room. It was behind a corner so nobody could see it unless they walked over to it. So she walked over to the room and opened the closed door without knocking to see him changing out of his school clothes. He was wearing the boxer shorts with the little green cloud men that she had seen in his drawer at his house, and he was shirtless.
"W-What are you doing?" Byakuya asked as his face turned red.
She stared for a minute, and then burst out in laughter.
"H-Hey! What are you laughing at?" he asked with his face still red.
"Y-Your boxers, their same ones that were in your drawers" she said laughing.
"What about it?"
"Their hilarious!" she said.
"Shut up, their normal!" he said picking up a pair of blue jeans and quickly putting them on. "What do you want?" he asked putting on his pants.
"Oh, right. Sorry" she said stopping laughing and whipping a tear from her eye.
"I took care of the allancar" she said to a now half clothed Byakuya.
"Really? That easily?" he asked.
"You bet, apparently this one could make himself look like air or something like that, but I took care of him without even having to pull my sword" she said smiling proud of her defeat. "Look out the window" she told him.
Byakuya walked over to the window and looked out the blinds to see a shattered tree.
"Geez, you sure like to make a mess" he told Rebecca.
"Haha, thanks" she said smiling and rubbing the back of her head.
"Rebecca, a new episode of Code Geass is coming on!" Inoue yelled from the other room.
"Oh! Coming" she yelled back.
"You should come watch too. Oh, but you should put on a shirt, Tatsuki is eating dinner with us tonight" Rebecca said patting his bare shoulder.
"Oh, yeah" he said grabbing a tee-shirt and putting it on.
So Rebecca and Byakuya walked out of the room to where the tv was and watched with Inoue as Tatsuki was cooking.
Byakuya was not really paying attention to the tv though as he was sitting.
"(Hm, I guess I never thought of it, but Rebecca and I are pretty close. I mean if she can see me almost naked and shake it off just like that)" he thought. "(I wonder what she thinks of me?)"
Just then his thoughts were interrupted by a delicious smell.
"Dinners ready" Tatsuki said.
They all sat down at the table for dinner then.
It was grilled salmon with rice and fruit on the side.
"Wow, this looks great Tatsuki!" Inoue said.
"Yeah you're a really great cook!" said Rebecca.
Once they started eating, they noticed that it tasted as good as it looked.
"Thank you so much for cooking" Byakuya said quietly to Tatsuki who was sitting on his left side.
"No problem, I guess you have seen Orehime's cooking then" she said back still quietly.
"Yes, and Rebecca is no better a cook than her" he replied.
"Ah, I sort of feel sorry for you. You will have to deal with eating that for a little while" she said back.
"Yes, I know" he sighed.
"Hmm?" wondered Rebecca and Inoue wondering what the two were talking about.
"It's nothing" Tatsuki said smiling.
"Oh, okay" Rebecca said.
"Hey Tatsuki, why don't you stay the night?" Inoue asked.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah! It'll be fun" she said.
"Okay, I'll call my mom after dinner and tell her" Tatsuki said.
So after dinner, Tatsuki called her mom and told her that she was staying over. After that Byakuya went to go take a shower while the other three did their homework in front of the TV.
As Byakuya got in the shower, he felt the warm water hit him, and he began thinking.
"(That was a good dinner. I guess because that Tatsuki girl was cooking. I wonder how I'm going to make it the next two weeks with Inoue's and Rebecca's cooking. Well, I guess since Rebecca is actually trying her best to cook I can deal with it. She try's her best to make me happy. I mean she even asked me to go drinking with her twice. She's a lot nicer than she looks, and..)" he thought as his thoughts were again interrupted.
Rebecca banged on the door outside of the shower.
"Yo Bya, you almost done in there? You've been in there forever and me and the others have to still shower" she said.
"(Oh, I guess I didn't notice how long I have been in here)" he thought.
"Yes, I was just going to finish right now" he said.
"Okay" she replied.
So Byakuya finished his bath and got out as promised.
"You are free to have the bath" he said walking out in his pajamas.
"Okay, let's go guys" Inoue said calling Tatsuki and Rebecca who were sitting on the couch doing their homework.
So the three girls got their pajamas and went to go take their bath. Byakuya then sat on the couch and picked up Rebecca's Japanese note book.
He looked opened it up to see her homework.
"Hmm, even though she knows Japanese, she still is not perfect at it" he said grabbing a pencil and correcting her mistakes.
Suddenly he heard a yell from the shower. Wondering what is was he went up and knocked on the door.
"Is everything alright?" he asked through the door.
"Bya! I can't believe it! I'm the tallest one in here but I'm the flattest" she whined.
"(Doesn't she feel embarrassed saying something like that to a guy?)" he thought as his face slightly blushed.
"Do you have any secrets on how you got yours so big?" he heard Rebecca ask Inoue.
"Not really, but I do drink a lot of milk" she said.
"Eww, milk is gross" Rebecca said.
"(That explains it)" Byakuya thought sighing and sitting back down on the couch.
After taking their baths the three girls came out of the shower wearing their pajamas.
"Rebecca, I looked over your homework, you should study your Japanese writing better" Byakuya said from the couch.
"Sorry sensei" she said sarcastically. "Haha, thanks for lookin' over my homework."
"It's no problem" he said.
The three girls went over and sat in front of the TV. Tatsuki sat on one side of Byakuya on the couch and Inoue on the other. Rebecca sat on the floor leaning on the couch in-between Byakuya and Tatsuki.
"Hey Rebecca, what do you want to watch while we finish up our homework?" Inoue asked as she had the changer.
"Hmm, anything really is fine."
So they put on the anime Lucky Star.
"(Such a childish show)" Byakuya thought.
So they worked on their homework until about 21:30 at night.
"Hey Rebecca, me and Tatsuki are heading to bed. Come in once your done" Inoue said.
Rebecca took a bit longer doing her homework as she was not very good at math.
"Sure thing, I'll go to bed once I finish" she said as the two other girls walked to their room.
After Inoue and Tatsuki had gone to their room, it was only Rebecca and Byakuya left. Byakuya was reading a book and Rebecca was doing her homework.
After a half an hour, Byakuya asked
Rebecca if she needed help with her math.
"Rebecca, if you are having a hard time with your homework I can help you" he said.
He got no answer.
He felt Rebecca fall over onto his leg, as she was sitting below him.
"She fell asleep" he said. "Even though you'll officially be an adult this year, you still act like such a teenager" he said to the sleeping girl. "I wonder when her birthday is? I'll have to ask her in the morning."
He turned off the TV and carried Rebecca to the room that she was staying in. He set her down and took off the coat she was wearing because she said she was cold. She was wearing a shirt that had long sleeves but came just above her belly.
"Geez, such a kid" he said to himself as he put the blanket over her.
Tatsuki was still half awake when he came in, so she saw him with Rebecca.
"You know, you two would make a cute pair" she said sitting up talking in a quiet voice making sure not to wake up Inoue or Rebecca.
"W-What? You're crazy" Byakuya replied in a soft voice.
"You don't know what you're talking about. Goodnight" he said walking out of the room closing the door behind him.
"What the hell was she talking about? Rebecca and I? She really must be crazy" he said to himself walking to his room.
"I've already married once, and she looks at least 5 or 6 years younger than me" he said to himself walking into his room. "What would others think about that? Of course that doesn't mean I don't want to get to know her better or anything" he said getting into bed.
With that on mind, Byakuya drifted asleep.
"Bya. . . Bya . . . Bya! Help me! What's happening? Help me Bya! Why is this happening to me? Please! Byakuya!"
Byakuya gasped and sat up suddenly awakening from his sleep.
"Oh god, just a dream" he said rubbing his temples. He was now sitting up with his hand on his head. "Damn, that scared the hell out of me" he said.
Byakuya looked over at the digital clock. It was 7:30.
"Bya, wake up. Were gunna be late for school" Rebecca said walking in again without knocking.
"Oh, you're already awake" she said.
"Yes, I woke up just a moment ago" he said still with his hand on his hand.
"Hey, you don't look to good. Not feeling well?" she asked.
"No, just a bad dream. I'll be fine" he replied.
"Oh, okay then. Hurry up and get dressed or there won't be any breakfast left" she said walking out and closing the door.
"What was that dream?" he asked himself as he got dressed.
Byakuya walked out of his room and saw what was for breakfast.
Inoue and Rebecca decided to make breakfast that morning. It was toast that was black as coal, and eggs that were only half cooked mixed with bread crumbs.
"We made breakfast for everyone" Rebecca and Inoue said.
"Umm, it's okay. I'm not really hungry this morning" Tatsuki said.
"Me either" Byakuya said.
"Oh, okay then. More for me and Orehime then" Rebecca said smiling.
"(It's such a heart-warming smile)" Byakuya thought. "(What ever that dream was last night, I will never let it happen. I want to keep seeing that smile)"
"What's wrong Bya?" Rebecca asked eating.
"It's nothing" he replied.
So the four of them went to school that day. It was a normal day, and nothing significant happened, though Byakuya couldn't help but think why he would have such a dream. In class, he decided for himself that he would protect Rebecca, no matter what happened.
