Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach.
The first lesson of my second day is stationed in room 110, the room is exactly like my Reiatsu Control room with mats and small tables scattering the room instead of chairs and tables. The teacher was quite small with short light green hair and bright blue eyes. She had shown slight interest when I showed her the note but made no comment. "Don't bother sitting down just stand against the wall if you will." She informed me. Shrugging slightly I went to the wall and waited as students filed in. "Good morning everyone, welcome to Hakuda otherwise known as Hand-to-Hand Combat today we will be practicing the Tesshō or Iron Palm. This technique is where you focus some of your reiatsu in your palm and then slam your palm into the mask of a hollow. I would like you to pair up, if you are incapable of doing so I will place you in a pair. You will not be aiming for the heard instead you will hit the chest as this will do less damage." She stated.
Muttering broke out around the room and people shuffled around, glancing at the students I decided to wait until everyone was paired off before looking for a partner. "You, be my partner for today." A voice demanded of me, turning to glance at the person whom had spoken I recognised the bully from my enrolment day.
"First tell me who you are." I conditioned.
"Kurosawa, Daichi." He stated.
"Ok then Kurosawa-Shi. I'll partner with you today just don't blame me if you get hurt." I sniggered. He scoffed, I motioned for him to go first, he stood stationary for a moment his right hand cradled by his left. I felt the reiatsu level in his right hand increase, his eyes flicked to me as a smile crossed his lips. His palm slammed into my chest, the power in his hand caused my skin to tingle uncomfortably. "Is that it? That your best shot?" I asked hating how much I sounded like Kenpachi. The smile faded from Daichi's face being replaced by fear and confusion. "Shall I show you how it's done?" I questioned laughing slightly to myself as he backed away. Holding my hand out flat I focused a little bit of my reiatsu there, hoping that it wouldn't hurt him too much I slammed my hand into his chest. Daichi's back connected with the floor, gasping for breathe he clutched his chest where I had hit him. Silence filled the room, looking around I noticed yet again that my whole class was looking at me.
"Kurosaki-Chan I think that it would be a good idea for you to practise with me any and every time we have a practical lesson." The teacher stated. Sighing slightly I walked towards the teacher, muttering filled the once silent room. "Now Kurosaki-Chan why don't you try that technique again on me?" She questioned smiling slightly. I nodded gathering my reiatsu on my palm again I forced a large amount to accumulate there hoping she could handle it. Slamming my palm into her chest like I'd did before. I noticed my hit connect, the ripples it sent through her then watched in slight horror as she flew backwards propelled by my hit. Her feet left the ground and she floated backwards for a short time until the back wall stopped her journey. Sliding down the wall I noticed as she gasped for breath. She finally came to rest at the bottom of the wall.
Running over. "Sensei are you alright?" I questioned. She nodded. "Is there a infirmary room here?" She nodded again. "I'll take you there, can you direct me?" I added, she nodded slightly. Picking her up bridal style of the floor, I walked out of the room, ignoring the loud mutters as I did so. Exiting the room the teacher pointed to the left, turning left I headed down the corridor I turned left at the end of the corridor without her prompt as it was the only way to turn. A sign over a door informed me of the infirmary's location just a couple of doors away on the right hand-side. Knocking as I entered the infirmary, I noticed a tall man with short gray hair in front of me, he wore a long lab/ doctor's coat. "Excuse me." I said grabbing his attention. "Can you help?" I questioned gesturing towards the teacher in my arms.
His dark brown eyes flickered towards my teacher. "What happened?" He queried, gesturing towards one of the empty beds nearby. Placing her carefully upon the bed I explained what had happened, surprise filled his eyes as his eyebrows shot upward upon hearing that I was the reason she was brought here. "Who are you?" He questioned.
"Kurosaki, Ichigo." I explained. Hanging my head slightly as I knew Gramps would be informed of this incident.
"I think you should go back to class then." The doctor started. "I'll make sure she's alright." He added. Nodding my understanding I left the room a gloom hanging over me. Sighing I glanced at my timetable relieved to see I only had one other lesson today. Making a note of the location and time of the lesson I walked out of the Academy building. Turning right I made my way to the fields 1 and 2 as my timetable stated my next lesson would be on field 1. Sighing I learned against a tree dreading the next lesson and hoping I made it through without hurting anyone.
Learned against the tree I glanced at the sky the blue tinge littered with white puffy clouds reminded me of the real world. 'I wonder how everyone's getting on without me!' I wondered to myself though I knew that my friends all knew of the Soul Society and would probably just be whishing me the best. 'I hope I get the chance to go see them all again.' I muttered to myself. Shaking my head I snapped myself out of my thoughts and glanced at my watch, noticing it was almost time for lesson I stepped out of the shadow of the tree.
"Look, is that him? The one that injured that teacher? Look at the sword on his back, who does he think he is? I heard he was speaking to Miss Kuchiki without any honorific's, the nerve of some people." The whispers of a few students said as I walked onto the field. Rolling my eyes internally I ignored the words being spoken around me. The flickering of a white coat caught my attention, my eyes widened and it felt like the colour drained from my face. Gray eyes connected with mine as I gulped slightly wondering why he was here.
"Byakuya, what are you doing here?" I questioned.
"Kurosaki, Ichigo is that anyway to address your teacher?" He questioned in reply a slight smile pulling on his lips. "You need not worry about the letter that you are suppose to show me, I am well aware of what it says." He stated. "Now why don't you just stay out of my way until I have addressed the class?" He questioned turning his head away from me slightly.
"Welcome everyone to Hohō or Agility, today we will be learning the art of Shunpo or Flash Step. We will be learning this as all Hohō techniques rely upon your ability to use Shunpo, without the mastery of Shunpo you will not be able to learn the other movements that are possible. For now I would like you to practise individually, I will get your attention when I have a new task for you, begin." He stated, the class diffusing to separate areas.
"Kurosaki, Ichigo I have some information for you." He chuckled slightly. I glanced at him confused. "You're not really a student in this lesson, the reason you were enrolled in this class was to help me with demonstrations. You will help me three times a week, all I need you to do today is not let me catch you, think you can handle that?" He questioned.
"Psh, who do you think your talking too?" I sneered in reply. "Are you sure you can handle having me around three times a week?" I questioned.
Chuckling slightly, Byakuya turned his head to face the class again. Rising his reiatsu slightly I watched as the class' attention was immediately drawn to him. I smiled slightly as the class ran back into a mass group in front of him. "Ok, I can see that you all know the basics of Shunpo however what you lack is speed. I will now show you with the help of this man." he pointed at me. "Just what Shunpo looks like at a speed." He stated causing mutters to break out again. "Not too quick now, I would appreciate if they can actually see what is going on." Byakuya muttered in my ear as he walked past me. "Now if you would Mr. Kurosaki, start in that direction…" He indicated the barrier that divided the filed, that had students from the other class pressed against it. "and just try to keep away from me." He finished, a small smirk on his lips.
"Fine." I stated in a bored manned as I walked towards him, focusing some reiatsu into my feet I pushed of the ground and landed about half way between Byakuya and the barrier. "When your ready Byakuya." I yelled at him. His smirk now very evident I felt the rise of his reiatsu in his feet as he speed towards me. When he was a few feet from me I focused my reiatsu and landed where I had set off from. As Byakuya landed he pivoted to face me and immediately set off in my direction. Smiling I continued to play his game of tag. Eventually Byakuya landed and instead of instantly setting off in my direction he turned to the class and dismissed them.
Focusing my reiatsu for the final time I landed on the ground beside him. "Thank you for your co-operation Kurosaki, Ichigo." Byakuya stated before he walked away. Muttering surrounded me again seemingly louder this time, it was starting to become difficult to block out."
"He addressed Captain Kuchiki without an honorific, who the hell does he think he is? He's the one with the limitation bracelet isn't he? Just how much reiatsu does he have? He's not even winded!" These were just a few of the almost shouted mutterings that surrounded me.
