I have come up with some new ideas. I can't wait for them to be realized. :D


Shizuka blinked and dragged Kori back into the store. "RANGIKU!"

Rangiku was there in an instant, "Yes...?Oh, Kori, you're back! We were all so worried about you!"

"Yeah, I gathered that." Kori said dryly. "Now, Shizuka was telling me that we're going back to school? Why are we going back to that hell-hole?"

Shizuka shrugged, "I have no idea, but it has to be important for a Captain and two Lieutenants to be here." Shizuka looked Kori over, "Anyway, you need a make-over now. Go ahead, Rangiku." Shizuka smirked and left the room.

"What? No, Shizuka! Don't leave me with Lieutenant Matsumoto! Shizuka!" Kori shouted as Shizuka went to the main room where everyone else was gathered.

"Shizuka, good thing you're here. You're the first one to go to school out of all of us." Captain Hitsugaya said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Kisuke should have your Gigai ready within the hour. And school starts in an hour and a half." Renji replied as he ate his breakfast.

"Enjoy that, you moocher. You have chores later." The little boy that worked for Mr. Urahara, said joyously.

"Right." Ururu, the little girl that worked for Urahara, agreed in her quiet voice.

"Ms. Ongaku~. Your Gigai, is ready." Kisuke sang from the other room.

~Thirty minutes later~

"OH MY GOD!" Shizuka shouted and walked out into the other room, "This is so uncomfortable, it's not even funny."

"I know, right. And you have only been out of your human body for only half a year. For us, it's really different." Renji walked up to her and handed her a Gikongan. "This should be useful if a hollow should show up."

"Oh, a Soul Candy. Yeah, it will be useful. Is this...?"

"Yeah, it's actually a Chappy." Renji sighed; he knew how popular these Gikongan were with the female Shinigami, so Urahara got it for her.

Shizuka got a mischeivous look in her darkened blue eyes, "And if Ichigo decides to piss me off, in the Gikongan it goes."

"Do you like Ichigo, Shizuka?" Ikkaku asked.

Shizuka would have blushed madly if it were Captain Hitsugaya, Rangiku, or even Kori. But, instead, Shizuka flared up. "That stubborn boy? No way! He annoys the crap outta me." She crossed her arms and huffed to the side.

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." Renji said.

"What? Renji, you're supposed to be on my side!" Shizuka's cheeks turned red.

"And what side would that be?" Renji frowned and raised his tattooed eyebrows.

Shizuka's teeth clenched and she grabbed her school bag before leaving the room and the shop so she could walk to school.

~At The school entrance(An hour later)~

Shizuka swung her bag in circles as she walked through the doors of the learning institution that she had gone to until she had gone to the Soul Society. "It's the second semester." She murmured as she walked to where she was in homeroom, the same homeroom where she had gone to only a few months ago. The same homeroom where she shared with Orihime and...and Ichigo.

Shizuka did like Ichigo. He seemed like an insanely nice guy. A nice guy that she wished that she could get to know better. She noticed that Ichigo did get under her skin. But, underneith of it all, she really didn't mind it. She actually enjoyed fighting with him. But, it's not like she thinks about it as she does it, but rather after it happens.

"How much...how much do I really like Ichigo. I don't even know him that well." Shizuka murmured as she approached the door. She opened it and saw everyone do their own business. Actually, Ichigo, Rukia, and Orihime were all in their little group. Rukia noticed Shizuka's Spiritual pressure and ran over to meet her.

"Shizuka, we heard that you were coming today. Ready to get back to learning?" Rukia grinned almost, too cheery.

Shizuka sighed heavily and placed her bag on her old desk, "I thought the point of being dead, was not be in school. Unless you were training to be a Soul Reaper." Shizuka smirked at Ichigo,"But, here I am. In the hell-hole, of High School."

"I agree with you there, Shizuka." Ichigo agreed, his perma-scowl still on his face. He went to sit down in front of her and he turned to meet Shizuka's gaze. "I hope you pay attention here, unlike at the Shinigami Academy." He grinned.

Shizuka's face heated up with embarrassment, "You try having so much expected of you when your Spiritual energy is high and you're forced to go through six years of school in only six months." Shizuka hissed in agitation. Ichigo blinked, for an instant, she saw a flash of an emotion that had never been present in him for the entire three days that she had known him.

"Sorry, Shizuka." He murmured.

Shizuka immediately was taken aback by that answer, "Ichigo, you don't have to apologize. I'm sorry for snapping at you." Shizuka smiled at the orange haired Shinigami.

Ichigo smiled softly, "Okay."

~After school~

So after defeating seven hollows and getting a ton of homework, Shizuka headed back to Urahara's shop. Ichigo walked beside her, his hands in his pockets.

"I like what you did with your hair." Ichigo commented.
"Hey, thanks." Shizuka said.

"And you said that Kori is getting some kind of make over, too?"

"Yeah, although. I hope Kori won't be too pissed at me." Shizuka chuckled, and she looked up into the yellowing sky. "It's so beautiful out. The sun setting is possibly one of my favorite things about the day."

"It is nice." Ichigo said.

They walked in silence until they reached Urahara's shop. And a blur knocked Shizuka to her knees.

"SHIZUKA ONGAKU! I AM SO PISSED, THAT IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!" Kori shouted into her ear.

"Uh...uh..." Shizuka moaned in dizziness. She shook her head to clear the buzzing from Kori's shouting and took in her appearance. Kori's short golden blonde hair had been streaked with snow white and faded down to completely white at the tips of her hair. A haircut made her hair look even better. And obviously, she didn't care for colored contacts, so she donned glasses. Actually, it looked really good. Along with the make up that she was wearing.

"Hey, you look good." Shizuka rubbed her temples and Ichigo helped her to her feet.

"Don't even start! I am this close to going after you with Hyorinmaru." Kori growled.

Shizuka didn't answer, she only looked at her. And Kori knew that look. It was a look that Shizuka donned whenever she fell head over heels for a boy. And she if she took one guess, she'd know it would be Ichigo Kurosaki. "I'm sorry, Kori."

Sorry? Okay, now I need to talk to her. "Ichigo, if you would excuse us for a moment. I'm sure Kisuke has some tea ready inside." Kori grabbed Shizuka by her shoulders and dragged her away, leaving a stunned Ichigo.
