Chapter 11 – Boredom
Ichigo was lucky enough, that he got a single dorm at the academy, and didn't have to share with anybody. But he felt so damn lonely. He could tell, that Byakuya was living next door, since his Reiatsu was all over the room. The room Ichigo lived in was bare. He had no personal stuff in Soul Society, and it would be weird if he had pictures of people in his room, who were not yet born.
As he was walking to the entrance hall, as they were supposed to, since the final scores were published there, Ichigo noticed several eyes on him. Some of them were glances of jealousy, others of admiration. He didn't care.
It didn't matter to him how his scores were, he just swiftly took a peek at the board were the scores were announced, only to see his name on the very top of the list, followed right by the name of Kuchiki Byakuya. He was deep in thought as he continued his way towards the students office, to get his schedule already, that he didn't notice an angry looking Byakuya trailing his way behind him.
He snapped his schedule from an annoyed looking lady in the office. Just as he turned around, he stared directly into the cold gray eyes of the young Kuchiki Byakuya. Ichigo immediately smirked.
"S'up, Byakuya." He said.
"You…! You scum. Why are you here? You are messing everything up, my scores, my name. It was not meant to happen like this." Byakuya stated in a fit of rage.
Ichigo was stunned. He never expected the young noble to be that radical, but continued to tease the man, since he had so much fun. This Byakuya was much funnier, than the future one.
"How's that? Can't the little prince take it, if someone is better than him? How sad. "mocked Ichigo.
Byakuya grunted and spat at him. "Just leave me alone! Stay out of my way." With that he stomped away to get his own schedule.
This day started pretty well, after all. His first lesson was Soul Society History, but he had his doubts, that they'd do anything interesting this first day. Due to his boredom, Ichigo decided to start searching for the room he had his next lesson in. This appeared to be a rather difficult task, since the building was fucking huge and it took him about ten minutes to simply figure out the general direction, and after another 10 minutes he found a huge lecture hall, kind of built like an amphi theatre. He took his seat somewhere in the middle, since he was one of the early students.
Just seconds after him, Byakuya appeared and sat as far away from him, as possible.
The room started to fill up, and a shrill bell announced their history teacher and headmaster, Tokudaji. The class went silent immediately, as he walked in, and stood in front of the roughly 25 people, who were all a bit frightened and unsure about what will happen in the next few years of their lives, and if this really was the chance for them, to become what they all wanted to do.
"Welcome at Shino Academy, and welcome to the advanced class. You are honored to be part of this, and most likely become a seated officer some of you may even make it to the level of an Lieutenant, few may be Captain of a devision in a few decades. We expect you to work hard, and show ambition towards your work. You all have the advantage, but you must work for it, and work hard!
There were 500 applicants this year, and 200 people passed the exam, but only 25 of them were good enough to be in this class. If you show any misbehavior, or disrespect, I may not hesitate to kick you out, and give another top student the chance to be in this class, and this is no joke.
Well, I don't really want to frighten you, or pressure you, since you should enjoy your work, so don't be shy. This year is something special, since we have two rather popular students among us." Tokudaji said, while looking at Byakuyas direction. Ichigo hoped this wouldn't happen, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he tried to appear as calm as possible during all this.
"There is Kuchiki Byakuya, grandson of Ginrei, and soon to be heir of the Kuchiki Clan, which is one of the 4 great noble houses of the Soul Society."
All eyes were on the young raven haired noble, but he simply stared at the sensei, without breaking into sweat, or blushing. Well, if one is used to attention…
"The other student is, Urahara Ichigo, son of Urahara Kisuke, who is newly announced Captain of the 12th division, and founder of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute."
Suddenly all heads snapped in Ichigos direction, and he visibly felt uncomfortable, but to his relief Tokudaji went on, and everyone stopped staring at him.
"We are honored by their presence, and hope they will help you, and be able to guide you a little through the process of becoming a shinigami. I wish you good luck, and work hard. "
With that he was finished, and answered questions that came from the students. Ichigo was already bored, since he knew everything they asked anyway.
This is how his day went on. Byakuya avoiding him, listening to all his teachers blabber on, what a honor it is to be in advanced class, and so on. It was unnecessary and boring.
At the end of the day, Ichigo was tired from doing nothing all day, so he directly went to his dorm and lay down on his bed. He closed his eyes and tried to catch some sleep, as he heard weird noises from the room next door. It sounded like some chanting, and then something like an explosion, which rippled through the walls like a mini earthquake.
Ichigo jolted upright at the sound, and immediately noticed the familiar electricity of Kido in the air. Followed by this feeling were muffled sounds of cursing, and it clicked in Ichigos head.
"What the hell is that prick of a noble trying to do? Burn down the entire building?" he said to himself, as he stormed to the hall, almost breaking the door as he "knocked" at Byakuyas dorm door. The curing went on, and he heard shuffling sounds from the inside.
The door opened a crack and a grey eye looked at him, and immediately went cold.
"Didn't you understand me earlier that day?" He spat.
Ichigo leaned against the wall, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Well, you didn't say anything about you disturbing my sleep." Ichigo said.
Byakuya frowned, obviously knowing he was guilty.
"Tch, okay. If you need your beauty sleep…"
"Ahh, just kidding" Ichigo said with a grin. That confused Byakuya a lot, and his eyes widened.
"Anyway. Do you need any help with that, or do you want to burn down the entire house with your lousy excuse for a Byakurai." At that point, Byakuyas eyes couldn't get any wider, and his face was as red as a tomato. He stared to the floor and fumbled with the handle of the door, unsure what to say, since he just got grounded by the exact same person, that bet all his scores.
"Come on, open the door and let me in. I can help you… I'm quite good at Kido, okay?" Ichigo aked him in a calm manner.
Byakuya opened the door wordlessly, and let the taller teen inside, who was greeted by the sight of some Kido books, he obviously took from his grandfather, and some burned spots on the floor.
"Okay, show me what you got, Byakuya."
This is it. There is the start of friendship! Anyone excited how that will go on?
I hope you like it in any way... If you still have any suggestions for future chapters, please review them or PM me.
I seriously have no clue where this is going.
Love, mspauly. :
