-School-

Me and Ichigo walked to school together, but we said once basic sentence to each other.

He asked about my arm, I said I was in a fight.

As of right I was sitting in my seat, staring at the flat surface of my desk.

Everyone in the classroom was chatting and such.

I guess I was giving off a bad aura, no one was asking about my arm.

Mizurio walked up to the side of my desk and smiled.

"Ohayo gazaimasu, Seishou-chan." He greeted.

I looked up to him and tried to smile. "Ohayo, Mizu-kun..."

"What happened to your arm?" HE asked.

I sighed, "I got into a fight and... I was beaten. I also have a few broken ribs."

He gave me a sympathetic look. "Should you really be at school, then?"

"I was gone yesterday, wasn't I? Besides, I have to learn and keep my grades up." I said, smiling.

He laughed a bit, "Your grades aren't that high. Just enough to stay in kendo."

The bell rang and everyone started to go to their seats.

"I'll talk to you at lunch." He said and left for his desk.

-Third Period-

I was reading the Shinigami Basics 101 book.

In second period, when sensei told us to get our Japanese text books out, I also got it out, too, to see if anyone saw it.

Only one person did: Ichigo.

I guessed he thought it was a normal book, he just looked back down to his own text book. He wouldn't be able to read the title from where he was from, anyways.

Rukia still hasn't come to school. It's nearly lunch.

'The act of shunpo, also known as "Flash Steps", appears as one being faster than what the eye can follow. The user gathers reiatsu beneath the soles of their feet and are able to "grip" onto the spirit particles in the air and so forth are able to "walk" on air.' I repeated in my mind.

"Why are you staring at your desk, Seishou-chan?" Keigo's voice asked.

I jumped a bit, startled.

I looked up to where his voice came from, he was standing with Mizuiro and Ichigo.

I felt a bit embarrassed, but looked a bit mad.

"Don't startle me like that again." I told him, a bit cold.

I picked up my school bag and put it on my desk, covering the book with it so Ichigo couldn't get a good look at it.

"You weren't paying attention, were you?" Mizuiro asked.

I smiled warily. "Not really..." I said.

He smiled. "Kahonta Sensei left a bit early, to let everyone have a little free time to talk before lunch."

"Okay." I said and smiled.

Mizuiro and Keigo sat in the desk by me. Ichigo leaned against the wall, his hands in his pockets.

I sensed Rukia's reiatsu and looked to the door to see her walking in.

No one seemed to notice but me.

"Everyone, ohayo gozaimasu!" She greeted.

She seemed to... Sparkle in a way.

Now everyone looked.

"Ohayo, Kuchiki-san." Mizuiro greeted first.

Keigo was pleased to se her, "Kuchiki-san, you're sparkling again!" (Don't have a smiley for that face)

I didn't say a word, just stared at Rukia.

She seems a bit fake this time around.

"This is unusual. Third period ended already." Mizuiro commented.

Rukia put her hand to her face in a "cute" manner to look innocent.

I found it repulsive.

"I had some family matters." She said.

She looked to Ichigo. "By the way, Kurosaki-kun, do you have a moment?" She asked him, using that fake, girly voice.

Ichigo seemed a bit confused, but took a step forward to her. "Huh? What?

"If you got something' to say, say it here-"

Rukia interrupted by punching him in his stomach and he fell to the ground. He didn't move.

I shot out of my seat, appalled by what she just did.

"Are you aright, Kurosaki-kun!?" She asked, sounding worried and concerned.

She took him by the head and started dragging him out of class. "Oh no, you must go to the nurse's office." She said and left the class with Ichigo.

What the hell just happened!? D8

Mizuiro said something to Keigo and he replied. I wasn't sure what they said, I was too busy trying to figure out what exactly was going on.

The bell rung, signaling it was time for lunch.

Mizuiro and Keigo got out their lunches. I didn't bring lunch today.

Mizuiro noticed. "You're not eating?" He asked.

I shook my head, "No. I had a big breakfast." I lied.

I didn't even eat breakfast, and since I skipped last night's dinner, I'm kinda hungry.

My stomach growled.

Mizuiro held up a rice ball to me. "I don't think your stomach was satisfied."

I smiled cautiously; trying to not look mean or anything of the sort. "Th-thanks, Mizuiro, I-" I was interrupted by gasps.

I heard it from the front part of the classroom and I saw everyone looking to the opened window.

I was shocked myself.

Ichigo was in mid-air.

"This is freshman class 3, right?" He asked.

It wasn't his voice or even reiatsu. It wasn't Ichigo.

He landed on the sill of the window and gripped on the top of the window.

Everyone, including Mizuiro and Keigo but excluding me, gathered around, but kept their distance.

I could see everything perfectly from where I was, but still, I got up.

Tatsuki pointed at Ichigo. "Y-y-y-you there! How did you get up there just now!?" She demanded.

"How?" Ichigo inquired. "You saw, didn't you? I jumped up. I'm amazing, right? You're shocked, right?"

Students started talking amongst themselves as Ichigo stood on the window sill, looking over to everyone.

He looked honored to be the center of attention.

This definitely wasn't Ichigo.

He jumped to Orihime's desk and took on of her hands and rubbed the back of the head with the other.

I put my left hand over my mouth, feeling like I should just vomit from just watching the situation.

"Pleasure to meet you, beautiful young lady. Won't you please tell me your name?" He said in a soft voice.

He kissed her hand and Orihime blushed.

The class gasped in horror, so did I.

Tatsuki pulled Ichigo away from Orihime by putting her arms under his and locking them securely.

"Ichigo, do you realize what you're doing?! You can't pass it off as a joke!" Tatsuki yelled.

Ichigo looked back to Tatsuki. "Now that I look closer, you're pretty cute, too."

Everyone gasped, yet again.

Only the gasp was for his life. Tatsuki was going to kill him.

From what position he was in, she could crack his back.

She didn't, surprisingly.

Ichigo puckered his lips and kissed her cheek.

Tatsuki became beat red and kneed him in the back and pushed him.

She put her hands on the edges of a desk and picked it up and held it above her head.

Shit, I didn't know she was that strong! Maybe it's just the adrenaline.

Ichigo freaked a bit and jumped over the crowd of students and hid behind me.

I growled at him to back away. He put his hands on the side of my arms so I couldn't move. I was becoming a bit disorientated.

Everyone got out of Tatsuki's way as she walked through with the desk above her head.

"Kisama! Let go of Seishou and take the punishment like a man!" She yelled and threw the desk.

He pushed me out of the way and jumped the other way.

Everythign was blurry, then went black.

-Later-

the sound of Kegio's annoying voice was beginning to become clearer and it irritated me.

I cringed at his whimpering and clenched my left hand.

"Seishou-chan! Wake up! don't leave me here!" He whinned.

"Keigo-kun. That's not a good idea. Look at her ha-" Mizuiro stopped when I broguth my left amr up and hit Keigo's face.

"Never mind." Mizuiro said.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes with my left hand.

"What happened?" I asked, lookign to Mizuiro.

I appeared to be in the nurse's office in one of the beds.

He smiled, "Ninja cat clowns's broke into the classroom and one knocked you out when you tried to fight back." He said.

I raised a brow. Ninja cat clowns? What the hell?

The image of Ichigo kissing Orihime's hand came to mind.

That's about all I remembered from today. But why?

And when the hell did ninja cat clowns come in?

I swung my legs off the other side of the bed and got up.

"What period is it?" I asked.

"School ended abotu five minutes ago. We came to see if you were up. Since you are, we'll leave now. Unless you want us to walk you home." Mizuiro suggested.

I shook my head, "No, I just got job. I have to be at work."

He understood and dragged the unconcious Keigo out of the office.

-Bakery-

Sachi arrived the moment I did.

Right now, I was taking orders from customers.

The boss said it'd be a good idea to get more money.

There wasn't much buisness today, I've only served about 10 or 11 customers in the past hour.

SAchi was handing what everyone order, to them from behind the counter.

An old lady stared at my sling sympathetically. "Oh, poor deary! Whatever happened to you?" She asked.

I smiled warily. This was getting annoying, especially since I had to lie.

"I was hit by a car a couple days ago. I have a few broken ribs, too and they may have to do surgery on me. My family is too poor to even pay off the sling, so I had to get a job, too, eventhough I know my grades will drop and I'll never become a successful lawyer to pay for my family and donate to charity.

"And my cousin here, Seiryoku, wanted to help his most favorite cousin." I said.

Ugh, this bites.

She pulled out a hundred(you can calculate it to yen, I'm too lazy). "How many cupcakes can I get with this?" She asked.

The whole time I was at work, I was being sympathized. I got some good tips behind the boss's back, too.

I put some cash into the register and gave the person her change and smiled. "Have a good day." I said, though I wished her a bad one.

After she left, I looked to the next customer and was surprised, well, not really, but still I was surprised.

"Yuzu-chan!" I said in a surprised tone, but kept it controlled.

She smiled giddily. "Seishou-chan works here? That's so great!" She said.

I wore an honest smile. "What brings you here? Where's Karin and Isshin?" I asked.

The boss was checking on things in the back, so I wouldn't get in trouble.

No one was behind Yuzu, so no one was going to complain.

"I'm here to buy a cake for the picnic. Dad is helping a patient back home and Karin is at soccer practice."

I nodded, "I see. Do you want anything else for the picnic?"

She noded, "The cake and maybe some chocolate fudge brownies. Ooh! And make the cake-"

I knew what she was going to say. "Chocolate."

She smiled and nodded, "Yeah! You're gonna be Ichigo's perfect wife, Seishou-chan."

I hesitated, trying to think of what to say. "Yuzu-chan, isn't that a bit... Over exaggerated? Me? Be anyone's wife? Especially Ichigo's! Ick. Your bros a good guy, but we're just best buds."

Yuzu looked a bit sad, "I wanted you to be my new nee-chan!"

"Kotsu-kohai! Cut the talk and get to work!" My boss's voice yelled.

"Sure, boss man." I said irritably.

I wrote down what Yuzu ordered and Sachi got them for her.

"Will you be able to take all of this home yourself?" Sachi asked her.

She nodded cheerfully. "Yes." She answered.

She reached into her small purse that was basically a long string attached to a pink, vevlet bag with yellow velvet daisy.

"How much for everything?" She asked kindly.

I did a little math on the cash register on my left, "¥7,920." I said.

She handed me the money and I put it in the cash register.

She bowed, "Thank you, Seishou-chan!"

She got the boxes, with a little help from Sachi, and left.

I sighed. "That Yuzu is somethin' else. She's like a mini mom or soemthing." I said in admiration.

"Was that Ichigo's little sister?" Sachi asked.

"Yup. The sweeter one.

"What's today's date?" I asked.

"June 15." He answered.

"Hm..."
