A/N Here I am all my lovelies! I bet you didn't expect to see an update this soon, am I right? Guess I'm just full of surprises! So, the plot is finally chugging right along and we're getting into some soon to be good stuff! How exciting! Just a quick thought! I never noticed before, but I randomly thought about this a few days ago... This is a seriously fucked up version of Hannah Montana in a twisted way.

Tensa's POV
Karakura High School
The first thing I noticed was a bright light shining overheard and it annoyed the fuck out of me. Sitting up, I blink my eyes and rub them with the back of my hand, trying to clear my vision enough to see where I'm at.
"I'm glad to see you are awake, Tensa," I nearly jump out of my skin when a feminine voice sounds from beside me and I turn to locate who was the source. "Don't be alarmed. You're in the nurse's office and I am Unohana-sensei. Hisagi Shuuhei brought you here when you passed out and hit your head on the floor. You've been out for approximately four hours while you slept."
Memories come flooding back to me and I have to fight off the urge to faint again. I gingerly touch the back of my head, wincing at the slight soreness that is there. Guess I hit the floor pretty hard. Wait just a minute...
"Hisagi goes to this school?" My vision is clear by now and I recognize the school nurse since I've been in here a few times since I tend to get into a lot of fights because of my orange hair.
"That is correct," the woman stands up from her chair and walks across the room, picking up a phone on the wall and dialing a few numbers before holding it to her ear. "Hello, this is Unohana. Tensa has regained consciousness and is waiting for the student that brought him here. May you please contact Hisagi and inform him to come straight away. Thank you," the raven haired nurse sets the phone back into the cradle on the wall before returning. "Hisagi shall be here any moment now and I would like you to stay here until he arrives to give him your gratitude."
"Oh, uhm... I really need to be going. It's a very busy day, you see, and..." I gulp at the prospect of seeing the male from last night.
"I insist you stay here and thank him for kindly carrying you here, Tensa," the lady smiles at me and I mentally flinch.
"I really should be going-"
"Tensa. I must insist that you wait," Unohana opens her eyes and looks down at me, still smiling, and I chuckle nervously.
"Ok. I'm sure I can find a few minutes to spare."
"I'm pleased to hear that. Please wait here while I tend to the paperwork of your stay," she turns around and the last thing I see before she pulls the curtain around the bed shut is Shiro giving me a funny look from the doorway.
Shiro's POV
I end up inadvertently passing by the nurse's office at lunch since I don't bother to go up on the roof since Ichigo is absent today. While I'm passing by, I sneak a peek inside and notice that Tensa is awake and that Unohana has just practically forced him to stay to thank Hisagi. I shudder at the tone the woman used as I've heard it a few times when I had been sent to the office for getting in another fight as she had been my elementary nurse, too. The woman stands up and walks away, moving to close the curtains to ensure privacy, but before she does I lock eyes with Tensa, who returns my look in a strange manner. What the hell is that expression in his eyes? Fear? Is he afraid of me now or something?
Shaking my head to dispel the troublesome thoughts, I continue to wander aimlessly through the hallways, glaring at anyone that got too close. I notice Hisagi eating in Ukitaki's room, no doubt trying to stay hidden and away from unwanted whispers and questions. I run my hand through my hair and walk down the steps and out the front door leading to outside. A tree shades a portion of the grounds while a wall shades the other side and I decide to sit up against the wall to wait until lunch is over.
In the midst of debating whether or not I should just leave now and not bother going to class, I hear a rustle next to me and turn to see blue. Mother fucker. What the hell does Grimmjow want? I had been disappointed to see him at school today as I had been hoping that he would have too bad a hangover to even be capable of getting out of bed. We had made it very clear yesterday that the temporary friendship we shared last night was just that.
Temporary.
So why the fuck is he choosing to bother me now? I decide to ask him, but before I even get the first word out I'm interrupted by Grimmjow himself.
"I didn't come here fer a friendly chat, if tha's wha' yer wonderin'. I came over ta give ya a warnin'," our eyes lock and I sneer at him, crossing my hands over my chest.
"Oh? A warnin'? Fer wha'?" Grimmjow growls lowly in warning at my condescending tone.
"Don't play fuckin stupid wit me. I know very well tha' ya and his little group of fuckin' friends are tryin' ta keep me away, so let's get this straight. Ichigo is mine, not yers. I don't care wha' tha' hell I have ta do either, so get tha' through yer fuckin' skull," he glares at me and I can't help but bust up laughing.
"Tha's a good one, Grimmy-Kitty. But I don't think ya know just who yer talkin' ta, or didja ferget already? Ichi doesn't want anything ta do wit' ya and he made tha' fact perfectly clear yesterday on tha' roof," I drop the smile and return his glare. "So know yer place."
Grimmjow releases an animal like snarl before he lunges at me from his spot beside me. I'm not given enough time to react before the asshole is straddling me, a feral grin on his lips showcasing abnormally long canines.
"Ya might wanna watch out how ya speak ta me," his eyes are almost pitch black by now with anger as he grips my shoulders rather harshly, slamming them back down on the ground "Who knows? I may get a little violent."
The situation is just too perfect, and I can't restrain myself from cackling. It's been so long since I've had a decent fight and Grimmjow has practically promised one, and not just any fight either. No, this is a fight over whose stronger, who deserves the prize. Whoever wins this is the better male and has the right to lay claim, although we both know that whoever loses isn't just going to give up. This just makes the chase a little more... fun.
"Is tha' a promise? Cuz I'm sure hopin' it is," Grimmjow takes a swing at me, but I bring up my hand and stop him and roll us over.
Thus the fight begins.
"Yer gonna regret this ya fucker!" Grimmjow shoves me off from my position and crouches as though he's about to pounce.
"I should be sayin' tha' ta ya," waving my hand forward, his eyes flash and he lunges once more for me.
Rushing forward, we meet half way and from then on out it's all just a blur. The same thing over and over again. Swing, duck, kick, retreat, block. The familiar pattern makes me smile and Grimmjow seems to falter, allowing me to nick him on his side before he backs up. We're about to attack again, but a shout from somewhere close stops us.
"Hey! What do you two think you're doing?" A man rounds the corner, eyes wide as he takes in the scene before him.
"Ukitaki-sensei," both of us straighten up and turn to him, purposefully not looking at one another.
"Fighting are we," the teacher shakes his head, white hair whipping around his face slightly. "As much as I hate to do this, I'm going to have to take you to the office. Fighting on school premises is forbidden. Follow me," I immediately follow him, taking the spot in front of a very annoyed Grimmjow.
"This is yer fault, ya know tha'," I whisper thinking the white haired teacher can't hear me.
"Che. Whatever. Yer tha' one tha' doesn't know when ta back tha' fuck off," Grimmjow hurries past me, 'accidently' pushing my shoulder on his way and I grit my teeth.
"Boys, stop your bickering. You're already both in enough trouble as it is," we both pause at his words, since we both surely thought he couldn't hear us.
A scowl on my face, I ignore the asshole next to me and continue following the teacher, trying not to cause any more trouble.
Hisagi's POV
My hands stuffed in the pockets of my jean awkwardly, I trudge from the safe haven and make my way to see the nurse. I guess that she had wanted to see me and I wasn't given an option to turn the invitation down, so here I am. Forced to go see the nurse where I'll also no likely see Tensa. The door is opened softly and carefully the minute I arrive, the woman smiling at me from inside the room. Luckily, I don't see Tensa in the room.
"I'm pleased to see you here so soon, Hisagi," she walks around one bed, stopping at the foot of another.
"Glad to be here, though I'm not sure why I am," the woman smiles at me and gently places her hand on the pristine white curtain.
"I'll let Tensa be the one to tell you why," Unohana pulls back the curtain, revealing a conscious Tensa with wide eyes.
The nurse swiftly disappears, but I hardly notice that since Tensa and I are currently staring at one another, neither of us willing to be the first to break the silence. What feels like hours later, Tensa clears his throat with a hand over his mouth and releases an awkward cough.
"So... First things first. Thanks for carrying me here," I eye him stupidly, not really catching anything he's saying and he rolls his eyes. "You're the one that carried me here, correct? At least that's what I heard from Unohana," he finishes with a quick smile at me before lying back against the back of the bed.
"Yeah. I'm the one that carried you here," I manage to respond a few seconds later and move over to sit on the empty bed next to him, placing my head in my hands as my elbows rest on my knees. "I don't think I should have, though. With all the rumors flying around and everyone thinking stupid shit it's only going to cause more trouble. I didn't think. I'm sorry," Tensa snorts in humor and I look at him with incredulous eyes.
"Look, don't worry about it. I really couldn't care less what people think. What happened happened and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it, and to be perfectly honest I don't regret it," he holds up his hand to stop me before I get any thoughts. "I don't want you to get your hopes up though. Nel had just broke up with me, I was drunk off my ass, and I wasn't thinking straight. That doesn't mean it was a mistake, though. All I'm saying is that the past is the past, we can't change it, and even though I'm not ready for a relationship right now that shouldn't stop us from being friends like always. So what do you say?" Slightly red eyes meet mine and I smile, relief flooding through my system.
"Friends it is. Phew," I lean back and let out a sigh, "I thought that you wouldn't ever want to speak to me again or something."
"Idiot," Tensa rolls his eyes, sitting up once again. "Now what are these rumors you mentioned earlier?"
"The usual when something like this happens," I wave it off but he glares at me so I'm forced to continue. "People are saying that we're more than friends and that apparently we're going out. You know, stuff like that," the whole time he merely shakes his head.
"The media will never change, will it? I guess the best thing we can do is try to straighten this disaster out as soon as possible," throwing his legs over the bed, he stands up and stretches before he starts to lean dangerously to one side.
"Woah there! Don't fall over now," I shoot forward and steady him as he begins to sway to the opposite side, wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
"T-thanks. Just a little lightheaded," the sound of a deep intake of breath reaches my ear and I continue to hold him up.
It's at this moment that the good nurse decides to reappear.
"It appears that Tensa has expressed his gratitude," Tensa appears to nearly jump out of his skin, shooting towards the sky and out of my hold.
"Yeah, it's all cleared up. Thanks, Unohana," I smile and her and she returns it without missing a beat.
"I'm glad to hear this," she turns towards the blushing singer holding out a packet of paperwork. "Here is the record of your stay here. I suggest you pass this along to your manager so he is aware of the situation that has occurred today. Also, I highly suggest visiting a registered doctor for a checkup," Tensa mumbles a weak 'Thank you' and takes the papers, holding them in his hand looking a bit lost. "You and Hisagi may leave now."
We both nod enthusiastically before bolting out the door, Tensa still slightly flushed from embarrassment. I'm about to say my farewells and return to Ukitake's room, but someone interrupts me from behind.
"Oh, I see you've already spoke with nurse Unohana," the white haired teacher is suddenly right beside me, patting me on the back.
"Yes, I just finished and was about to go back to your room. What are you doing out here anyways?" The male laughs slightly before jabbing a finger behind him.
"Just heard some noise outside and went to investigate. Turns out these two were fighting out front," peering around I'm slightly shocked to see Shirosaki and Grimmjow sending each other nasty looks. "I'm not sure what it was about, but it doesn't matter. I'm obliged to escort them to the office," Ukitake glances around me to see Tensa standing there, oddly gazing at the floor. "Is this the boy that randomly appeared this morning? Tensa, I believe his name was?" At the name, Tensa snaps his head up, locking eyes with the teacher.
"Yes, sir. I'm Tensa," he bows slightly, much to my surprise and I notice the two behind Ukitake lock their eyes on the boy.
"It's nice to officially meet you, Tensa. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way. Boys, follow me," Ukitake nods his head in our direction while Tensa bows minutely once again and I wave at him.
"See you around, Ukitake!"
Grimmjow and Shirosaki approach hesitantly before shrugging us off and going back to glaring at one another. I'm curious as to why they fought in the first place, but that would have to wait for a later time.
"Hey, Tensa," he turns to me, forcing his eyes off of the two retreating figures. "I've got to go get back to Ukitake's class, but I'll see you around," Tensa smiles at me and nods.
"Definitely. See you around," his arms fall limply to his sides as he walks leisurely down the hallways, turning at the end, and towards the exit.
Shrugging softly with a small grin, I begin to return to the classroom to finish my lunch.
Normal POV
"Are you stupid or something, Shinji?" Ishida stares down the blonde with a look of disapproval.
"I'm sorry for the hundredth time already! It was a slip of the tongue, that's all! I'm sure he didn't even notice!" Shinji sits cross-legged, pouting at being yelled at for such a simple mistake.
"You know as much as the rest of us that even the smallest mistake could cause serious problems! What happens if he noticed and decides to investigate," the boy counters, a slight frown on his face by now.
"Relax, guys. I hate to say it, but I don't think he noticed. He seemed much more preoccupied with escaping than what Shinji was saying," the red head speaks up from the corner while peeling an apple.
"Let's hope so, because if not Tensa's identity may be at stake," Rukia sighs wearily from her spot leaning against the railing overlooking the school. "Let's just hope so."
A/N AH! I'm horrible sorry for such a sucky and short chapter! I got into it at first, but then it just kinda escaped from me. I was so determined to finish it quickly because the rest of my week is pretty busy and I'm not sure that I'll have time to finish it, so I just pulled through. I may go back and fix it up a bit and add some more interesting things to it so it's a bit more entertaining, but I don't know when I'll find the time. It's busy enough trying to get so many things at one time done! Alright, enough with my complaints!
I hope everyone had a marvelous and splendid Fourth of July! I know I did! Family, pfft, more like the whole neighborhood set off a bunch of em and it was just a really nice time. Got some family bonding in there, too. Lit some Sparklers with my friend that came over. Ah, good stuff!
Anywho~ Please do review! I was pleased to see that many of you returned and that the story is staying strong in readers! This makes me very very very happy! I would like to thank everyone for all the support, as I know I would have never gotten this far without it! Thank you all so much!
