AN: Next chapter, yay! :D

Okay, I'm off to London in a week, and therefore this may be the last chapter for this month, but maybe i'll get bored again, and you guys are lucky.

Oh, one thing. I made him go.

Chapter 9 Brat

Ichigo couldn't believe it. He really was standing in front of the damn Shino Academy, staring up at the huge Kanjis announcing it's importance. There were many students crowding the place, singing up for the Academy, or just coming back from the summer break to continue their education.

What had he done? How was it possible, that Kiskuke actually managed to convince him into doing that..

Flashback

"So, how are we doing this, Kisuke.."

"Okay, think rationally. It would be the easiest way to get involved with the Gotei, if you'd simply go to academy. I have to arrange a few things until that time, since I have to go back soon…" Kisuke mused, as his eyes seemed to wander through the bare room, thinking of a solution.

"I understand… I don't want to go though. I'd have to change my identity, right? My dad's still captain, I assume-"

"That's it! I have an idea. Thanks to you, I do know, that I'm going to be offered a captains position as soon as I come back to Soul Society, thanks to my darling Yoruichi. At that time you're living at the Runkongai, we'd have to alter your appearance to a little less flashy, and do something about sealing that weird sword of yours, since when is it like this anyway (?), and I'll have to patrol at one of the lower south districts, when I'll eventually stumble upon you" at that point Kisuke twinkled at Ichigo in a… let's say, typical-cheery-way, and Ichigo sighed.

"At that point I'm a little unsure. One option would simply be that I'm going to see your potential and simply send you off to academy, which wouldn't make sure, that you might become a high ranked shinigami one day, remember, that you can't use your full power, we have to seal it somehow. But we need you in the higher ranks, that you'd actually know all the future captains, would make things easier, I assume.

My conclusion would be, that you're going to be Urahara Ichigo~!"

Ichigos face was priceless. He should act as Kisukes son? No way. This was simply the most fucked up plan the shopkeeper came up with. How would he explain a son, that he just "found" at some lower district of Rukongai. Ichigo couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.

"Y-You're kiddng, right? This is just some sick joke, ne?"

Kisuke had a serious look on his face, which meant that he actually thought that this would work.

Fuck.

End Flashback

So Ichigo actually went along with this ridiculous plan, of the shopkeeper.

His hair was short again, but not as short as it used to be, and had a muddy blond color that almost looked white. His eyes were a rich green, and his skin was paler. Some of the big scars disappeared from his body, too, and he was a little shorter, even the tattoo disappeared.

The past week they worked on making a wristband, that held a complicated Kido, which altered his appearance. They made a second one that surpassed his Reiatsu down to a low level captain class, for now.

Ichigo didn't plan on staying long at the academy, since it was already too much for him just to think about fighting against clueless people on a daily basis. Some things can't just be helped.

Just after one day he already missed his Zanpakuto a lot, since he had to seal him into a bracelet, that held a mini version of his new sword on a long chain. Even if he was trained by a captain, he couldn't just burst into the Academy with a weird looking sword, and he wasn't about to use Zangetsu during his time at the Academy.

Ichigo didn't have a clue how Kisuke managed to explain the fact that he suddenly had a son, but the word spread soon, and even the teachers at the academy knew, and expected high scored from him. He surely wouldn't disappoint them. Ichigo had to smirk at the thought, and actually went inside the building to sign up for the Academy as well.

Hopefully he wasn't attracting any ones attention, since he looked fairly normal, boring as he would call it himself. So he just stood in the line and waited. As he reached the front, a bored looking woman sat behind a window, as she just scribbled down the names of the new students.

"Name?" she asked without looking up from her paper.

"Urahara Ichigo." He stated with a monotone voice. That seemed to get her attention, and she actually looked at him with a raised eyebrow before she scribbled down his name and called for the next student.

Everything he could do now, was to wait for his name being called. He knew exactly what to expect from the entrance exam, so he wasn't nervous at all, so he decided to go outside and sat down underneath a sakura tree. Just watching the people bored him soon enough, and he was almost dozing off, as he noticed someone familiar.

He suddenly realized who just walked over to an elderly man. At first he was shocked, but then he laughed so hard that he cried.

Said person seemed to notice that someone was laughing at him, and he suddenly turned around, glaring at the laughing stranger. As he didn't stop laughing, he walked up to him and said:

"How do you dare to laugh at a Kuchiki, scum?"

That even seemed to fuel Ichigos laughter, but he tried to calm himself down.

"S-Sorry, man. But I just remembered something funny, and you reminded me of it." Ichigo said with a cocky smirk.

With a vain popping on his forehead Byakuya said: "Don't you do that again! Do you even realize who you are talking to?"

The amusement was written all over Ichigos face. He never imagined Byakuya to be such a snobby brat, and even more surprising was, that it looked like he just signed up to Shino Academy as well. This was going to be so much fun.

"Yes, I'm aware, Kuchiki Byakuya-dono." Ichigo purred at the man, with a voice thick with sarcasm.

Byakuyas face went deep red, and he raised his voice.

"Are you mocking me? My grandfather is a Captain, and I'm going to be one in the future, too."

At this point of their "conversation" almost everyone outside of the Academy grounds watched the interaction of these two. Some with fear, and others with disgust.

The retort of Byakuya made Ichigo grin even more, as he answered:

"So is my father. Pleasure to meet you. My name is Urahara Ichigo."

Byakuyas eyes couldn't get any wider as he heard what the boy just said. Thinking about a sharp retort, Byakuya didn't notice his name being called to take the entrance exam.

"Don't 'cha wanna go, take your exam, little Kuchiki?" Ichigo teased.

Byakuya just realized that he was called out by the teachers, and stomped off, but not without turning around again and sneering: "We're not through, Urahara."

Ichigo chuckled at the young Byakuya and his attics, and he was glad about the fact that he met the young noble this early in this timeline. It would make things clearly interesting. He'd have to call his "father" this evening.

Leaning against the tree he had been sitting underneath, he closed his eyes and just waited for his name being called.

…

"Urahara Ichigo"

That's it! Hope you enjoyed it. I actually brought an other character into this story, and there are more to follow. :)

Leave me a nice review, would you?

Love, mspauly.
