A/N: Okay guys, I'm not officially back yet, but here's a new chapter to make up for lost time! I hope you all enjoy it. (:

The group cautiously exited the dorm room, seeing only a few people distracted in the lounge room, and quickly left down the stairs after not seeing Kris and them among the small group. Once they got to the bottom floor, they noticed the group they were looking for being escorted out of the courtyard by one of the teachers.

"Well... shit." Ashley sighed heavily as they watched them and looked at the two Kaylins. "What do we do?"

They shrugged, along with the espada, before Kaylyn spoke up. "I think we should go with them..."

Ashley gave her a look as if she were insane. "Are you crazy? They're being taken to the office most likely and you wanna get us in trouble too?"

Ulquiorra decided to speak up at that moment for once. "We're already registered in the school. There shouldn't be a problem."

Caylin looked at him before smiling at her friends. "Oh yeah! He's right! Remember?"

"Oh yeah..." Ashley furrowed her brows and looked back at the group before opening the door and walking after them. "This better go over well," she mumbled, looking ahead as she was followed by the others.

-Meanwhile up ahead-

"I promise they've been enrolled," Kris insisted to the unfamiliar teacher.

She looked back, giving the group a look. "We'll see about that. I recognize every student here and I can swear on my memory that I've never seen those four here before!"

Grimmjow made a face and crossed his arms. "How old are you again?"

She glared back at him, although it wasn't nearly the worst one he'd received. Her comeback wasn't so great either. "Young enough," she grumbled after turning around with a huff.

Grimmjow smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Explain those gray hairs then."

Kris elbowed him with a look asking him what the hell he was doing. Ichigo scowled at him and spoke before the teacher had a chance to. "Grimmjow shut the hell up!"

"Why don't you make me, Strawberry!"

"Gladly!"

-behind them just a bit-

Ashley's eyes widened a bit when she looked ahead and saw Ichigo and Grimmjow yelling at each other. "Oh lord... come on guys we got a potential fight to break up." She started a small jog up ahead with a kind of glare at the two.

"Potential?" Kaylyn asked with an eyebrow raised as they followed Ashley's lead.

"Ichigo! Grimmjow! Cut it out!" she yelled as she caught up to them.

The teacher had stopped when they started arguing and threatening each other, but paused as she looked at the new additions that had arrived. "And who are these three?"

Caylin looked at her as they approached. "We can explain every-"

"I swear to-! Wait! Where's Pantera?"

"...And Zangetsu's gone too!"

Ashley looked at them and blinked. "...You guys just noticed that? Really? After all the manga and the time here you just realized they weren't with you. What. The actual F-ffffffffffudge?" She laughed a bit as she looked up at the teacher. "Hey..."

Kaylyn looked from the scene to Mrs. King, one music teachers she recognized, wanting to stay quiet but knowing that might not happen if she recognized her.

"Kaylyn, maybe you can explain all this," Mrs. King said, giving Kaylyn an expectant look. For once Caylin didn't make a joke off of their names.

"Well... uh... they're enrolled in the school if that's what you mean," Kaylyn told her with an innocent expression, although being totally honest.

Mrs. King wasn't convinced. "Then would you mind telling me why I've never seen a single one of them before?" She put her hands on her hips and looked down at the girl with a forboding look.

Kaylyn shrugged. "I dunno Mrs. King... maybe they've just avoided you for all this time... I'm sure you'll be seeing them around a lot more now that you know they're here though." She offered an innocent smile to the teacher and hoped she would buy all of that.

Mrs. King stared down the strange group, wondering how she could have missed such... eccentric people but sighed. "Fine. But you lot had better not cause any trouble! I won't hesitate to send every last one of you to the dean."

"Yes ma'am," the four girls said with a nod. They all watched as she walked away with the air all teachers like her had that just screamed for everyone to stay away.

Ashley let out a sigh before turning to them all with a grin. "Well, now that that's out of the way... Let's go find your classes!"
