Foreign Exchange Student: Ichigo throws a fit after the new foreign exchange student arrives, thinking that he has come to replace Rukia; OR Orihime impresses everyone with her Spanish.

Ulquiorra was intercepted by the school receptionist - his name was Tessai - when he arrived at school the next morning and promptly informed that his classmates were all to assemble in their regular classroom. Apparently Old Man Yamamoto had returned.

"I'm telling you, my big toe is bigger than yours!" Renji hollered. Apparently he had returned as well. He and Grimmjow stood blocking the entrance to the classroom with their left shoes and socks off and their feet in the air.

"No it's not!" Grimmjow retorted. The two boys frowned fiercely at each other. Ulquiorra was tempted to turn around and go back home. After the nonsense he had put up with yesterday, he was in no mood for anymore shenanigans. Too late however, Renji spotted him.

"Ulquiorra!" the redhead called out. Grimmjow turned and instantly brightened.

"Yo batman, come over here and decide which one of us has the bigger toe!"

Disgusted, Ulquiorra pushed past them only to collided with Orihime, Nel and Tatsuki who were waiting just inside by the cubby holes.

"Quiorra!" Orihime squealed. Wincing from the noise, he was completely unprepared when the woman took a hold of his shoulders and smacked her sticky lips against his cheek. A fire instantly rose up in the pit of his stomach and when the four year old let go, Ulquiorra lost his balance and fell flat on his back. Tatsuki snorted while Nel giggled. Orihime stared down at him curiously. The fire spread to his face.

"Why did you do that?" he croaked out. The giggling grew louder.

"Don't worry Quiorra. Nel and Tatsuki explained all about cooties to me last night. I guess it'll just be something that we share," Orihime told him with a sunny smile.

"What!?"

"So how was the shrink visit?" Tatsuki interjected. Ulquiorra wrinkled his nose and turned his head away.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Hey who's blocking the doorway?" Ichigo demanded. A clumsy kick to Ulquiorra's head followed and he quickly stood up to glare at the obnoxious five year old. Ichigo glared nastily back before pushing his way into the classroom.

Uryu entered next.

"What's his problem?" Tatsuki muttered.

"He misses Rukia. The school year is almost up and she has still yet to return. Ichigo's thinks he's leaving her behind," the five year old sighed and took off his glasses to clean them.

"I do not!" Ichigo hissed and stomped back over to them.

"Don't be difficult Ichigo. Everyone knows you and Rukia were close," Uryu scolded and slipped his glasses back on. Ichigo stuttered awkwardly.

"Y-yeah well what about you and Yachiru? Huh? You're just mad because you won't get to sit with your little girlfriend from Byakuya's class anymore!" Uryu's face instantly reddened in embarrassment.

"She's NOT my girlfriend!"

"She called you Hansel!"

"So? That doesn't mean anything!" The rest of the class quickly crowded around the two, wondering if the two cousins would fight.

"Everyone settle down and report to the red rug!" Old Man Yamamoto suddenly called out. The tension instantly left everyone as they all turned to their teacher… who had shaved off his beard.

"You're-you're-" Nel began, unable to look away from unearthly spectacle before her.

"Your face is naked!" Orihime blurted out and took a daring step towards her instructor and pointed a finger for emphasis.

"Woman," Ulquiorra hissed and quickly tugged her arm down. Thankfully Old Man Yamamoto remained impassive.

'"He looks like that bald guy from Byakuya's class!" Grimmjow whispered.

"His name was Ikkaku!" Uryu whispered back.

"He looks like the State Puff Marshmallow!" Renji piped up slightly louder.

A vein began to bulge out from Yamamoto's head warning everyone of his darkening mood.

Tatsuki quickly signaled the girls over to the carpet with Ulquiorra trailing after them.

"I gave all the invitations out to Byakuya's class! They're all gonna go to my birthday party!" Nel squealed in a stage whisper.

"Did you give one to Rukia?" Ichigo demanded and chased after them.

Grimmjow and Uryu followed, eager to escape their teacher's wrath.

Renji was the last person to sit and only because Yamamoto had brought a strange little boy with dark skin and hair that hung over his eyes to the front of the class. Distracted once again, the red head wedged himself between Nel and Ichigo.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce to you the new foreign exchange student Sado Yasutora. He is from Mexico-"

Ichigo stood up and pointed angrily.

"He's here to take Rukia's place!"

"Sit down Mr. Kurosaki," Yamamoto ordered. The new kid - Sado - slowly slunk off to sit down at the edge of the rug by Orihime and Ulquiorra. The latter stared at the newcomer with a sense of deja vu. It was another face from the other universe. Why was he not surprised?

"Ichigo what are you doing?" Tatsuki hissed and tugged the five year old down. She was surprised to find tears in his eyes.

"Hola soy Orihime. Es un placer conocerte Sado," Orihime greeted the new boy cheerfully. Ulquiorra, Renji, Grimmjow, Uryu, and Nel stared at her like she had two heads.

"What are you doing?" he asked unable to believe his ears. Orihime turned and smiled at her best boyfriend.

"Talking to Sado."

"... in Spanish?" Uryu asked.

"Do it again!" Renji demanded.

"Of course! My neighbor is vluent," Orihime explained, ignoring the others.

"but you can barely speak English," Ulquiorra argued under his breath, completely baffled. He never knew the woman was fluent in Spanish. How long had she been bilingual? Did Tatsuki know about this?

"...leaving Rukia out on purpose. Don't think I don't know what's going on!" Ichigo shouted. Tatsukki tried to grab his shoulder to keep him still but he was having none of it. The carrot top pointed angrily at Nel.

"She gave everyone invitations to her party, even Byakuya's class! I bet she's even going to give Sado one."

Nel brightened at the suggestion and turned to the new student.

"Do you think Sado would like to go?"

Orihime smiled.

"I'll ask him." Then she turned and started into a long Spanish dialect. Ulquiorra leaned forward, his brow furrowed in concentration as he studied her. After a moment, Sado nodded in confirmation.

"He said 'yes!"

"That's just great!" Ichigo huffed in annoyance. Tatsuki placed a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"Rukia's my friend too. Maybe me, you and Nel could go visit her in the hospital and give her an invitation," she suggested softly. Ichigo slumped and the tension went out of him.

"That's a great idea! The whole class could all go together and visit her. I'm sure my brothers won't mind if I invite another person to my party," Nel chimed in. Grimmjow frowned in confusion.

"Wait a minute. I thought they were your uncles?"

"I'll ask Sado if he'd like to come too!" Orihime shouted. Ulquiorra rubbed his ears even as he continued to stare at her in amazement.

"You guys can call me 'Chad' if you'd like," the new student suddenly added. Everyone fell silent and stared in amazement at him. Old Man Yamamoto cleared his throat.

"Chad is fluent in Spanish, Japanese, and English."
