Okay, now the funny chappies begin. I'm trying to make things slower 'because I noticed the story is progressing a little quicker. So filler chappies will be in and things will me more fun. Lol
And I may do a few chapters for a while then take a little break. But that depends on your reviews. I know I keep saying 'review review' but really. REVIEW!
And I plan to give Yukari and Lulu more lines in the story. I noticed that they don't have many lines, so I plan to give them little missions or something. But then again…I don't know. Just enjoy reading.
By the way: 'Powers in me' was based on a novel I wanted to publish. Well I noticed that I have been going off a little. So I plan to continue this story the way it is but still add parts of 'Midnight Summers', my original story, and just go with that. Anyway, enjoy!
"GOOD MORNING ICHIGOOOOOO!" There he was again; Keigo Asano doing what he does best; causing commotions with morning greetings. He ran though the hallway, reaching up to Ichigo, but Ichigo turned around and slammed his bag straight into Keigo's face. It was like time slowed down when Keigo made impact with the bag. Then, said boy went flying through the hallway he was running in. Rukia and Orihime looked back and tried to say something, but were speechless. "I know that had to hurt. Maybe more than the first time." The girls thought in union. Ulquiorra was walking into the classroom with Ichigo and the others following. Ulquiorra and Orihime had left Lulu and Yukari's care with Hisana sense Byakuya was at work.
"Good morning Ichigo! It's been a while." Momo greeted. Renji was already inside talking to Yuzu Kurosaki. Ikkaku was sitting on Ichigo's desk while the others were around Ikkaku. The girls sat down while Ichigo sat on Rukia's desk and Ulquiorra stood by Orihime's. Chad and Uryu soon came over with Momo, Renji and Yuzu soon following.
"Why is everyone around my desk?"
"Because we want to be," Ichigo answered his girlfriend.
"Well I came by to tell you that is gone for the day. We have a substitute." Everyone faced Momo."
"No way," Renji said. "Who is it?"
"I don't know," the happy girl answered. "But I heard that she is very smart, skilled at anything that comes to her, and she is extremely young."
"Like 24? 23?"
"No, I don't know her age, but I just know she's very young." She answered Orihime.
Ichigo crossed his arms. "Well that's strange. I wonder who it could be."
Just then, the school bell rang. The students took their seats and waited for their substitute to arrive. The newbie's were always late. It was obvious this person didn't know where they were going or what they were going to do. A few minutes later, the door opened. Some students gasped while others were either not focusing or thinking about other things.
"Okie doki! I'm glad you people know where your chairs are; good." Ichigo and company looked straight up to where the teacher's totem was. She was right behind it; people unable to see her face. More like her body. Even though Ichigo was tall, he couldn't see anything.
"Okay students, we're going to…wait let me tell you this face to face." After a minute or so, her face could be seen. Ichigo and Orihime's mouth dropped. Renji's as well. Rukia didn't know who the small person was, but man was she small. Before Orihime could say anything, the substitute spoke.
"My name is Lulu Cifer, and I will be your substitute teacher today! How's it going?" Ulquiorra slammed his hand on his face.
"Lulu!" Orihime shouted and jumped up from her seat. "What are you doing here?"
Lulu coughed. "Ms Inoue, I would most certainly appreciate it if you called me and stay in your seat at all times. If you have a question, you may raise your hand. Everyone in class raised their hand. Lulu coughed again and picked up the assigned book that was on the table next to the totem. She held up the book while the class put their hands down.
"We're going to continue the book. For tonight's homework, I want an essay that explains what the 4 kingdoms are. I want correct spelling, grammar, capitalization and…what is it?" Keigo kept his hand in the air and obviously Lulu was getting annoyed.
"Ms. Cifer, the book contains words and languages that you may not understand. How do you expect to teach high school kids this is you do not understand it?" the boys started whispering and agreeing while the girls stayed quiet. They knew when another girl was about to go off on someone. That time was coming up. Lulu stared at Keigo then got off of the totem. She quickly walked over to Keigo's desk and grabbed his hand.
"Please stand up Mr.?"
"Keigo. Keigo Asano."
"Well , please stand up." Keigo stood. Lulu still had his hand inside of hers.
"Do you fall down a lot?" she asked.
"Yes and sometimes painfully."
"Good, then this shouldn't hurt."
"What?" Lulu tightly grabbed onto Keigo's hand and hit the pressure point between his thumb and his index finger. Keigo fell to the ground unconscious. The people around his desk looked at him then at Lulu while she turned on her heel.
"Are there any others that have a question?" No response. "Good," the young girl said as she continued on the totem. "Everyone go to page 105 and we will begin. Rukia Kuchiki, please stand up and read. Rukia jumped slightly, looked under her desk, found the assigned book and read. Everyone quickly followed and class truly began.
Lunch time
Instead of being outside with the nice breeze and warm sun, do you know where Ichigo and his friends were? In the classroom, locked in apparently. Some students were trying to do something to the school, somehow destroy it, and the school was put on lock down. So not only did they have to deal with the young substitute but they also had to stay in their classrooms until school ended. Just a wonderful day.
Ichigo and his friend were sitting in their rectangle tabled group on one side of the classroom. They had a good view of the window. At least they had something to look at and people to talk to. Lunch just began and they just assembled. They sat in their seats, opened whatever lunch they had and began eating.
"Orihime, I thought Lulu was with Hisana." Ichigo said.
"She was," the concerned mother said. "Ulquiorra and I left her with Hisana. We saw her with Hisana before we left. She must have snuck out. But how did she get into the system and how is she able to teach high students."
"Who knows? Either way, she's here now and we just have to deal with it." Ulquiorra said. Just then there was knocking at the door. Lulu got up from lying on the table and opened the door. Everyone got up and looked to see who it was. Yuzu gasped.
"It's the twins and it looks like there's someone with them." They then saw Minamoni, Ninamoni and the man enter the room. "Kaien Shiba." Renji growled. "That guy who was with us during the attack?" Rukia asked. "What attack?" Ichigo quickly turned.
"Minamoni and the others tried to get Rukia, but Orihime released her zanpactou and fought against the twins. Kaien took them away and retreated. I guess they're back to try something." Ulquiorra informed. The students sat at their desk. "Class! We have a new student; Kaien Shiba. Please treat him well this year." Lulu said. No one responded. They just sat down and continued their lunches.
"He'll probably try something," Renji said. "We have to stay alert."
"Um, I would love to know what you're talking about, so what's going on?" Momo asked.
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Orihime smiled. The students then continued their lunches and conversations. When lunch was over, the students put the desks back where they were and sat in their seats. Lulu was talking to someone on the phone. The class remained quiet. She then hung up and slammed her hands on the totem with a smile.
"Guess what my idiots!"
"Why is a 4 years old calling us idiots?" Ichigo's group asked themselves.
"Great news! I just got done talking to a good friend of mine and he said we can go on a field trip!" talking then started and head wandering began.
"Now," the students calmed down, "the field trip is to help with you understanding the book, 'The Kingdoms of Serine.' It has the basic culture, history and any other information that will fill your brains with something you don't have; basics. Anyway, tomorrow I will give you more details and times of the event. You will also be partnered up with at least 5 people. Pick wisely. Now let's continue the rest of the day shall we."
After school
The day ended with a big bang. Keigo had been waking up, getting on Lulu's nervous and been hit different pressure points so many times that there was not a hole in the floor. He was found on the second floor on top of a student's desk. No one said it was Lulu. They wanted to go on the field trip, so they kept their mouths shut. Rukia and the others were heading home. They separated paths, but the Cifer's stayed with Rukia. Once they were at her house, Ichigo opened the door then stopped. Hisana just happened to be in the living room playing with Yukari and Lulu on the Wii. The girls stopped playing then looked at the shocked strawberry. Rukia wasn't supposed to meet Yukari until…today. But still, the fact that they were about to meet was shocking; but just for a moment.
Yukari's eyes widened, then she jumped up and ran to Hisana; who took Yukari into the kitchen. Lulu got up from the floor and walked over to the door. Ichigo opened the door all the way, and then allowed Lulu to pass. She walked up to her parents and hugged Orihime's legs. She looked up and smiled while they were surprised. "I'll explain everything later. Can we just go home?" she yawned. Ulquiorra nodded then picked his daughter up into his arms. Orihime and Ulquiorra said their goodbyes then Rukia entered the house. She headed upstairs, ignoring the fact that the TV was on but there was no one there. She went to her room, put her stuff down and flopped on the bed. Ichigo soon joined her, but he was on his stomach while she was on her back.
"Strange day huh?"
"Yeah," Rukia sighed out. Ichigo took his hand and started stroking Rukia's hair. She closed her eyes and felt Ichigo's hands in her hair.
"Where do you think we're going? What place could possibly show the culture and history of Serine?"
"I don't know, but then again, the fact that we're going anywhere shows that it's something worth seeing." Ichigo nodded then moved his hands down Rukia's hair to her special bang. The front bang that always rested between her eyes. The bang that Ichigo sometimes found cute; even though he sometimes refused to admit. He moved his hands down lower to her forehead, to her, nose, to her soft pink lips. Ichigo remained there for a while until she turned Ichigo's direction. After seeing her beautiful lips, he couldn't help but have the urge to kiss her; so he did. He got up from his position and deeply kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck while he was on top of her. Rukia smiled in the kiss. They broke apart a few minutes later. "Wherever we go," Ichigo breathed out, "I will always be happy as long as you're with me." The lovers kissed each other again and continued their night together.
Maybe good could come from this experience; the field trip I mean. Many things could happen, but 'what' was the question.
2 weeks later
Location: the field trip bus
People: class, but small substitute
Time: so fucking early in the morning!
Rukia POV
Out of all of the things that I thought would happen, I never imagined this.
So it turns out that was on vacation for 2 months, so Lulu Cifer ended up being our substitute for a while. The field trip turned out to be a Hot Spring. "It may not be hot, but it is spring. And this is a good chance for you to learn something and relax." She said a week ago when people were complaining about the time we were supposed to leave. She gave us access to the buses; the good buses that had the televisions on the sides and a good movie played for the whole ride; but that's not the point. The trip was a week long, so getting our stuff and bringing it to school wasn't the main issue. The issue was that the trip started 2 weeks after Lulu planned it, and the time we were going to the Hot Spring was…wait for it…4:00am. She said it gave us an early start for the tour. Yeah right! So everyone came at 3:30 to catch the good seats. We then headed out and got ready for a 5 hour road trip.
It was about 4:30 now. Ichigo was sleeping on my shoulder, Orihime was sleeping on Ulquiorra's and Renji was texting; constantly. He was sitting in the seat beside me. We were sitting on the inside seats so talking was a little easier. I looked over and whispered his name. He looked over at me and rubbed his eyes.
"What?" he whispered.
"Who are you texting?" He turned pink. "No one. It's none of your business."
"It's Allana isn't it?" he widened his eyes. "Orihime told me that you and Allana Kapenchi got back together. She even showed me who she looked like. She is a pretty girl and stuff can happen to her. So maybe you're texting her because you're concerned about her."
"Shut up!" Renji raised his voice, but still kept a whisper. "I'm glad we got back together; I admit that, but I am not concerned for her. She can handle herself." We went back to texting after receiving a message.
"Sure," I said, and then laid my head on the chair. Renji continued texting, but I fell asleep while hearing the sounds of the bus moving.
"..kia. Ru..a. Rukia…Rukia." What is that? What's going on?
"Rukia. Hey Rukia wake up."
"Yeah, Rukia. You silly sleepy head, wake up." Ok, where have I heard that from?
"Rukia, come with us to candy mountain."
"Yeah, candy mountain. Come with us Rukia." I must be losing my mind. I would never even think about dreaming about this.
"Candy mountain. Candy mountain! You fill me with sweet sugary goodness."
"Guys what are you doing? Leave the girl alone."
"But we want her to come with us to candy mountain."
"That's bullshit now leave her alone and let her sleep."
"Yawl step out of the way and let the teacher handle this…….CANDY MOUNTAIN!"
Just then, I jumped up and found myself still on the bus. Ichigo, Renji and some others were looking down at me. Lulu was right beside me; looking down with a huge smile on her face. She was wearing a white strapless sun dress with matching sandals. "We're here, now let's get going so we can get started." Ichigo helped me up and led me out of the bus with everyone following him. The rest of the class already had their stuff with them and stood by the entrance. Our group was in the front while the others were everywhere else. Lulu stood in front of the class and got their attention.
"Now remember, we are here to learn something. Don't mess this up people. Anyway, you will be sleeping in separate boys and girls rooms. Girls on the left side of the building; Boys on the right side. There is a main cafeteria in the middle of the main building. It closes at midnight, so for any late snackers, get what you want and leave. If you disobey me or anyone here, they and I will kick you out, take you back to school and trust me, you do not want me coming back to school; because I will find you." As she was saying this, she was looking directly at Keigo who shouted, "what did I do?" everyone laughed then focused back on Lulu.
"And just to help with the people who may not understand me, I brought a friend that will help me in during this trip. She will help with planned events and tours around the building. Hey!" she shouted at the entrance doors, "You can come out now!"
Just then, the white double doors opened. There stood that familiar face; Allana Kapenchi. She was wearing a spaghetti strapped red shirt with glitter designs on the front and plain in the back. She also had on plain tan shorts that showed half of her thighs with red flat outdoor boots that covered her knees. Her long blonde hair was in a pony-tail and her chap stick made her lips glossy. Renji's face turned as red as his hair. Allana started blushing once she saw Renji right in front. They stared at each other then smiled. "Everyone this is Allana Kapenchi. No one is to touch her; for she is protected by the house of Kuchiki."The record breaking sound was heard. My classmates looked at me. They knew my family was famous for the amount of business we got from rich people, but they wanted to know why she was protected by my family; especially the perverted boys.
"Please everyone," Allana said as she stepped up next to Lulu. "Don't blame Rukia. It was her brother's decision to protect me from anything that happened around here. Do not look at Rukia as if she was to blame. Look at me, for I am the shame." Allana acted like she was the goody goody girl that no one would suspect she stole something. She had her hand to her chest and pouted when she needed to. Renji found her cute the whole way, but he saw right through her act. I could easily see it; sense it was originally my move. She was a worthy opponent, but then again, there was no point in fighting for our moves. We would just see in the near future.
The first day of our trip was mostly looking around and visiting some people who associated with the history of Serine. Even though most people went by book, I believed that the book was both lying and telling the truth. We didn't visit any history museums yet, but there were some places what showed what kind of animals lived in Serine and what the castle would have looked like. Knowing that a place like Serine existed made me happy. But being the ruler of one of them made me even more excited to see where I came from.
Our suitcases and bags were where they needed to be and everyone was in their said location. Night time came early. I guess fun took over the time. There were about 10 rooms for both boys and girls to pick. I chose to sleep with Orihime, Momo, and even Lulu. Allana also stayed in our room while the other girls went in the other 9. Everyone ate dinner in the cafeteria, which was surprisingly empty, and went back to their rooms. Ichigo and I texted a while. Orihime and Allana did the same while Lulu was watching us being fools of technology. It was not about 11:00 and we had a big day tomorrow; or so Lulu said. So we stopped texting and laid out heads down on our pillows. Everyone fell asleep easily except me and Orihime. We were too excited about what might happen tomorrow. We were also having our happy moments from what our boyfriends said. She told me what Ulquiorra said while I told her what Ichigo said. Smiled were on our faces, but then we started to drift off to sleep. Once we had enough talking, we closed our eyes and headed to sleep.
Just who knew what could happen tomorrow? I couldn't wait to find out.
Meanwhile (Room 5)
Minamoni laid in her sleeping bag; looking up at the flower wall paper on the ceiling. Ninamoni was lying on her side looking at her sister. They were the only girls in the room. They kicked the rest of the girls out after a pillow fight the girls tried to have. Minamoni's temper took over and Ninamoni tried to kick them out before they got themselves killed.
"Hey Nini."
"Yeah?" Ninamoni asked.
"I thought we were supposed to catch Rukia. What the hell are we going here? Why are we doing this?"
"I don't know Mimi. Just go with it. Maybe we can bond more with Rukia tomorrow." Ninamoni turned over and quickly went to sleep.
"This is pathetic," the eldest twin thought. "You're messing yourself us, Minamoni Sava."
Here's chapter 10. This was kind of a prologue to the Field Trip arc. Lol. I hope you like it.
