Chapter 10

The four fiends arrived at the cafeteria. Ichigo is the first one out of them to get in line. He grabbed a couple of rice balls and a bowl of chicken curry. He grabbed a bottle of grape juice to wash down the food on his way out. The girls grabbed the same food items and followed Ichigo to an empty table. Ryuji got jealous when he sees Ichigo walking with three girls. He glared at him as he eats his lunch. He looked away as they walked closer to him. He stuck his foot out for the second time that day just in time for Ichigo to trip again.

Ichigo fell forward with his lunch flying in the air. He got up and glared at Ryuji. Before he could do anything to Ryuji, his food came down covering him from head to toe. He became furious after being covered with food. His wristband did an amazing job from keeping his Reiatsu from rising.

"Are you okay?" Fuyuko asked.

"I'm fine, but Ryuji won't be when I'm done with him," Ichigo answered.

"I would like to see you try," Ryuji said smirking at Ichigo.

"You won't even know what hit you," Ichigo replied.

"Go clean yourself up before our next class," Shizu said before Ichigo did anything to Ryuji and he nodded.

The girls sat at an empty table eating their lunch after Ichigo's incident. Ichigo left the cafeteria and walked to his room.

"That bastard will get what's coming to him. He's lucky my wristband did its job. Otherwise, he and everyone else would be on the floor gasping for air," Ichigo thought to himself as he arrived at his room.

He walked inside and grabbed a clean uniform. He quickly showered and put on the clean uniform. He went to his nightstand and opened the drawer to grab his phone. His phone is on and texted Rukia.

I – Can you bring me some lunch? I'll tell you what happened when you get here.

Ichigo sent his message and continued reading his book. He read a couple of pages when he received a reply from Rukia. He opened up her message and read her reply.

R – Sure, it's my lunch break anyways.

I – Thanks. I'll be eating lunch in my room until I graduate.

He sent his reply and went back to reading his book while waiting on Rukia. He read more of his book when Rukia knocked on his door.

"Come in," Ichigo said as he closed his book app.

Rukia opened the door and walked inside. She closed the door behind her and walked to Ichigo.

"Here's your food," Rukia said as she handed his lunch to him.

"Thanks," Ichigo replied as he opened the container of chicken curry.

"You're welcome. Tell me what happened," Rukia replied opening her lunch.

"I was on my way to an empty table to eat my lunch when this asshole, Ryuji, decided to trip me again. My food went up in the air as I fell to the ground. When I got up, the food came down covering me from head to toe," Ichigo said as he took a bite of his food.

"Kisuke did a great job making your wristband," Rukia replied taking a bite of her lunch.

"Yes, he did," Ichigo said.

"How's the academy so far?" Rukia asked.

"It's fine for now. We practiced Shunpo for two hours, and practiced sword fighting and meditating for two hours as well," Ichigo answered.

"You must be bored for those four hours," Rukia said taking another bite.

"I did have fun during the Zanjutsu class," Ichigo replied taking another bite.

"What did you do today?" Ichigo asked.

"I helped Byakuya with paperwork before training the squad," Rukia answered.

"Must be tiring," Ichigo said.

"It can be, but I'm used to it," Rukia replied.

"Did you cook this?" Ichigo asked he finished his lunch.

"Yes, I did," Rukia answered finishing her lunch.

"It's delicious," Ichigo said with a smile.

"Thank you. Hisana and Byakuya also loved my cooking," Rukia replied smiling back.

"You're welcome," Ichigo said as he looked at his phone.

"Is it time for your next class?" Rukia asked.

"Unfortunately, yes, it is," Ichigo answered as he gave her the empty container back.

"I'll see you tonight with dinner," Rukia said.

"I can't wait," Ichigo replied getting out of bed.

Ichigo turned his phone off and put it back in the nightstand. They kissed goodbye and went their separate ways. Ichigo ran to his next class before the second bell. He had made it inside the classroom before the second bell rang. Ichigo stood in between Senna and Fuyuko against the back wall.

"Welcome to Hakuda. My name is Hiromi, and I'm your instructor," Hiromi said introducing herself.

Hiromi has pink medium length hair that is in a bun today. She has blue eyes and 34c breasts. She stands at 5'10.

"Does anyone know what Hakuda is?" Hiromi asked.

"Hakuda is hand-to-hand combat," Ichigo answered.

"That is correct. We'll be training Hakuda for thirty minutes and learning about the history of Soul Society for the other thirty minutes," Hiromi said and the other students groaned.

"There will be a group of three fighting one another for a couple of weeks. We'll be having a free-for-all when you are efficient in Shunpo," Hiromi instructed.

"The classroom will get destroyed when it happens," Shizu said.

"We'll be going outside when the free-for-all happens," Hiromi replied and Shizu nodded.

"When I call your name, come to the center of the room," Hiromi said as she looked at the list of her students.

The class was nervous waiting for their name to be called. Ichigo doesn't want to be grouped with his friends.

"Ichigo and Ryuji, please walk to the middle of the room," Hiromi instructed, and they walked to the middle of the room.

"Don't cry when I beat you," Ryuji said smirking at Ichigo.

"That's my line," Ichigo replied glaring at him.

"The rules are simple. The first one to give up loses," Hiromi said.

"I'll beat you in no time," Ryuji cockily said getting into a fighting stance.

"Whatever you say," Ichigo replied standing still while waiting for the teacher's signal.

"Begin," Hiromi said and Ryuji charged towards Ichigo.

Ryuji landed a punch on Ichigo's face as the other students looked on. Ichigo looked at him like nothing happened. Ryuji and the students were shocked at seeing Ichigo unharmed including the teacher.

"Is that all you got?" Ichigo asked taunting Ryuji.

"Far from it," Ryuji answered.

Ryuji threw his fist at Ichigo again only to be stopped by Ichigo's finger shocking everyone again.

"How?" Ryuji asked confused.

"My turn," Ichigo said not bothering to answer Ryuji's question.

Ichigo grabbed Ryuji's arm and lifted him up before punching him in the face. The force of the punch sent Ryuji flying towards the wall. Ryuji landed on the ground face first after hitting the wall. Ryuji struggled to get up from the floor. He stood up showing his bloody face.

"What's wrong with you?" Ryuji asked through his teeth.

"Nothing is wrong with me," Ichigo answered looking bored.

Ryuji wiped the blood from his nose and charged towards Ichigo. Ichigo threw a punch at Ryuji only for Ryuji to grab his wrist shocking Ichigo.

"That was luck," Ichigo said.

"What do we have here?" Ryuji asked ignoring Ichigo's comment as he looked at the wristband on Ichigo's wrist.

"It's a wristband," Ichigo calmly answered, but panicking on the inside.

"So, you don't care if I rip this off of you," Ryuji said as he touched the wristband.

"It's special kind of wristband, and I need it," Ichigo replied.

"Does the wristband make you strong?" Ryuji asked as he grabs the latch of the wristband.

"It doesn't make me strong," Ichigo answered as he jerked his hand away.

"It hides my enormous Reiatsu; you fool," Ichigo thought to himself.

"Why is it so special then?" Ryuji asked.

"It's a secret," Ichigo answered.

"Time is up. It's history time," Hiromi said, and Ryuji and Ichigo went back to the wall.

The students had been learning the history of Soul Society before the bell rang to end the class. Ichigo and his friends walked out of the room and walked to their final class.

"What's so special about the wristband you have on?" Senna asked.

"Sorry, it's a secret," Ichigo answered.

"Who gave it to you?" Shizu asked.

"A friend of mine did when they came back from the World of the Living," Ichigo answered.

They walked inside the classroom and were surprised at seeing desks inside the room. They sat towards the back right corner of the room. Ichigo sat in the corner desk. Senna is sitting next to Ichigo. Shizu is sitting in front of Senna, and Fuyuko is sitting in front of Ichigo. The second bell rang as their Kido instructor walked inside.

"Hello class, I'm Suzuki. I'm your Kido instructor," Suzuki greeted as she introduced herself.

Suzuki has long brunette hair, blue eyes with small glass, and size 34d breasts. She also stands at 5'10.

"We'll be learning the basics of Kido and how to properly use a Kido spell without backfiring and damaging others or your surroundings," Suzuki instructed.

"This should be a two-hour class. Hopefully, I don't put too much power in the spells," Ichigo thought to himself.

"As long as you breathe and stay calm, you'll be fine," Bach reminded him.

"Once I hand you these books, open the book to Hado #1 Sho and Hado #31 Shakkaho. I want everyone to memorize the stances of Sho and Shakkaho along with the incantation of Shakkaho," Suzuki instructed as she handed the Kido books to the students.

"If you say the incantation of the spell, it will make the spell stronger. Some spells have other purposes for example, Shakkaho can be used as a light in a dark area. You have to the right amount of Reiatsu to make the spells work correctly or disaster will happen," Suzuki said as the students studies the spells.

The students took their time memorizing the spells. They went outside the building to practice the spells. Ryuji went first and blew a stick away with Sho and burned the corner of the target with Shakkaho. Other students did a great job demonstrating the spells. Some targets were completely destroyed, and some were half destroyed. Senna walked up next, and she made the stick flew in the air with Sho and destroyed the corner of the target with Shakkaho leaving the rest in flames. Ichigo is the last one to demonstrate the spells.

"Hado #1, Sho," Ichigo chanted as he pointed his finger at a stick. He pushed the stick with enough force to hit the wall surrounding the academy.

"Excellent job, Ichigo," Suzuki said.

"Thanks," Ichigo replied.

"You're welcome. Now use Shakkaho to destroy the target," Suzuki instructed and Ichigo nodded.

Ichigo took a deep breath and held his right arm out. He held his right arm with his left hand to keep his arm stable before saying the incantation.

"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado #31, Shakkaho," Ichigo changed the spell as a red light shot out of his hand and hit the target completely destroyed it without leaving flames on the target.

"That's impressive," Shizu said as Ichigo put his arm down.

"I'm glad it didn't backfire," Ichigo thought to himself.

"I'm amazed myself," Ichigo replied as the students went back inside the academy.

They went back to their classroom and study more spells before the bell rings. Ichigo felt proud of himself after properly used Kido without destroying anything due to his enormous amount of Reiatsu. The bell rang, and the students went out of the classroom and went to their rooms. Ichigo went inside his room and saw Rukia laying on his bed reading a book on her phone.

"How long were you waiting?" Ichigo asked as he sat in his chair.

"Thirty minutes," Rukia answered locking her phone.

"How's your classes?" Rukia asked looking at him.

"It was great. Hoho is the first class. Hotaru had us Shunpoing back and forth across the room. Zanjutsu is the second class. I was talking to Bach while the other students were meditating. Genkei had us fighting with wooden swords. Senna, Shizu, and I had a free-for-all. Hakuda is the third class. I almost lost my wristband to that jackass, Ryuji. Kido is the final class, and I properly used Shakkaho and Sho without causing a disaster," Ichigo answered shocking Rukia about his Kido.

"That's wonderful. I'm so proud of you," Rukia said getting up and hugged Ichigo.

"I'm proud of me too," Ichigo replied hugging her back as the door knocked.

Rukia got up and answered the door revealing Senna.

"Hey Senna," Rukia greeted as Senna walked inside.

"Hey Rukia," Senna greeted back as Rukia closed the door.

"What brings you here?" Ichigo asked looking at Senna.

"I have two questions to ask you," Senna answered as Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other.

"All right," Ichigo said.

"Why did you have a bored look on your face in Hoho and what is up with that wristband of yours?" Senna asked as they froze in their location.

"Two hours and going slow will make anyone bored and Rukia made this for me," Ichigo answered hoping Senna will accept the half-lie.

"That's sweet of her and if we go fast from the start, we'll be crashing," Senna said.

"Good point," Ichigo replied.

"Not if you mastered the skill," Rukia thought to herself.

"You're here to have dinner with Ichigo?" Senna asked.

"Yes, I am along with sleeping with him," Rukia answered and Senna blushed.

"You mean, sex," Senna said.

"No just sleep. Don't want to get caught," Rukia replied.

"Good point. I wouldn't want to get caught either," Senna said.

"How was fighting Ichigo in Zanjutsu?" Rukia asked.

"He's talented," Senna answered.

"Well, I did grow up in Inuzuri," Ichigo lied.

"That's true. I have to go back to my room," Senna said walking to the door.

"See you tomorrow," Ichigo replied, and she left the room.

"What did you bring for dinner?" Ichigo asked.

"Fried catfish and fries," Rukia answered as she got up and grabbed their food.

"Sounds delicious," Ichigo said as she handed his food to him.

"Fish is amazing along with coleslaw or fries," Rukia replied as they ate their dinner.

Rukia put their containers back in her bag. She back in bed and laid on Ichigo's chest as he pulled the blanket over them. Rukia laid her left hand on his stomach and went to sleep. Ichigo held her close to him as he fell asleep.
