Ichigo finally enters the school and is even more amazed. Above him lies a chandelier, as well as another water fountain in the middle of the floor. There are lots of benches, grass sculptures, as well as statues. The hallway floors are marble, and such a shine, you can see your own reflection in them. Down the hall, Ichigo can see the cafeteria,which looked more like a large dining room than cafeteria. This school even had elaborate and fancy staircases that go to the other floors. He then hears a announcement over the P.A. system.
"Attention Students!" He hears with a woman's voice. "Please enter the main office to pick up your school schedules. Once you get, them please enter the auditoruim for orientation. After orientation you will proceed to your first class. That is all and thank you for listening."
"Well that sucks...she didn't even tell us where the office even is." He thought to himself with a very moody look on his face. Other students just as confused as he was, start asking each other where to find the office as well. Everyone looks around each hall hoping to find the line for schedules.
"Kurosaki Kuuun!" Can be heard from way down a corridor hall. "Kurosaki Kun! Over here!" The girl's voice echoed. Ichigo then notices, and recognizes the voice. He then turns towards the corridor, and yells back. "Hey Orihime is that you?" he asks shouting. He then notices the orange long haired Orihime waving at him smiling. Next to her was a long time friend of his Tatsuki. Both were wearing the female version of the school uniform.
"Hey why are you two down there?" He asks. "Its simple this is the line for the schedules Ichigo." Tatsuki replies. Over all the student chatter, Ichigo is unable to hear Tatsuki. "Hey! Can you repeat that?" Ichigo suggests in a shout. "I said the line for the schedules are over here now get your ass down here!" Tatsuki shouts very loudly.
However everyone else was able to hear as well and their heads looks in her direction.. Then without warning a rumbling sound can be heard from behind Ichigo. He turns his head to find out what it was. "What is that?...Oh Crap!" Ichigo says in shock and then begins sprinting down the hall. His arms and legs flail as he tries to stay ahead of the student stampede. "Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!.."Is all Ichigo can think of as the stampede gets closer to him. His arms and legs then moves even faster.
Ichigo finally makes it behind Orihime and Tatsuki, panting and holding his knees. "Man its just the first day and I already hate this school." Orihime looks towards Ichigo. "Yeah, even though this school is more extravagant than our old school, I miss our old one." Orihime says pouting a bit. "Well what can we could we really do, the school was bought by wealthy people." Tatsuki adds on. Ichigo, Orihime and Tatsuki then focus on the line as it moves. Eventually they all get what they waited three look at their schedules at the same time. "Well at least we all have the same homeroom this year." Ichigo comments.
"Yeah, now where is the auditorium I wonder?" Tatsuki asks in response. As they turn to locate the auditorium Ichigo bumps into something. "Ah! Ow..."
Ichigo looks down and notices a short, guy with short darkish blue hair. He is sitting on his butt, with a slight look of pain in his face. "Ow..." The boy speaks as Ichigo offers his hand. "Sorry about that...I didn't see you there" Ichigo said. The boy looks up slightly nervous and surprised. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you. Please don't hurt me." The boy says blocking his face with his arms. Ichigo and the others looks down at him really confused. "uh yeah... I'm not gonna hurt" Ichigo said. The boy looks up and soon takes Ichigo's hand and gets up. "I don't recognize you, so you must have been from the other school I guess." Ichigo implies.
"Y-y-yes that's rights. I'm Hanataro Yamada. Its nice to meet you" Hanataro then bows in front of them then rises again. "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki and these two are Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa." Ichigo says giving a slight smile. "Its a nice to meet you too Hanataro." Orihime replies.
"You seem more kinder than the others I've run into so far." Hanataro said. "Everyone seems like they are ready to fight on the fly, and as you can see I'm not that much of a fighter. "
"Don't take it personal, everyone is just confused and angry about such a sudden change. Things should get better as time goes on." Tatsuki replies.
"Well I hope your right..otherwise I'll most likely be bullied the entire year." Hanataro says with a sad face. "Well that won't happen Hanataro. " Ichigo suddenly blurts out. Hanataro turns his head towards him quickly. In his eyes a little hope can be seen. "You mean that Ichigo?"
"Yeah of course I mean it. Nobody has the right to bully anyone else. Or pick on anyone that can't defend themselves." Ichigo replies. "Guys like that pisses me off."
"I see." Hanataro replies back. "hey do you guys need directions to the auditorium? Because I know the direction to it" Hanatro says smiling. "Would you really do that for us?" Orihime asks smiling.
"Yup sure will, anything for kind people like you." Hanataro answers. "your a good guy Hanataro I like you already" Tatsuki adds on making Hanataro blush. He then walks with them there.
"Interestingly enough, one of Hanataro's relatives helped build this place. So he actually knows the layout quite well. Hanataro told us exactly how to get where we needed to go, and gave us short cuts to avoid student traffic in some areas to avoid being late. I didn't realize I would meet someone like him on the first day. At least I know that there are good people from the other school. We all ended up going to the orientation together but then separated due to him being in a separate homeroom. In homeroom however, we didn't get the chance to meet the new teacher. Apparently he was feeling under the weather, so they sent a substitute or should I say substitutes instead. One was a short, and short haired blonde girl while the other was a tall, short black haired man. They spent most of the time arguing...which was annoying. They didn't even introduced themselves until it was too late. However it was until lunch time that I would run into the jerks from the other school."
-Lunch Time-
Ichigo hears the lunch time bells and slowly walks downstairs. he once again sees the hallway to enter the lunchroom. he enters the room and sees lots of long, dining room like tables. In the far out part of this section of the building is what appears to be a park. Outside people are eating lunch bento boxes. It was the first time today that Ichigo didn't sense any form of tension. everyone seemed happy for soem reason. As he walks around he unknowingly enters the lunch line.
"So what are you having young man?" A voice says behind Ichigo. "hello...Anyone there?" Ichigo then notices and turns around. He then sees a man in a green and white striped hat behind the counter. He has blonde hair, and a little fuzzy beard on his chin."Ah, so you finally noticed eh?" The man says smiling. "oh sorry I didn't hear you at first' Ichigo replies. "Well don't sweat it kid, now what will you be having?"
"Huh?" Ichigo says confused. "Lunch what will you be he having for lunch?" The man asks. "Jeez your dense kid." The man comments. "I'm not dense I'm just really disoriented because of this place!" Ichigo yells at the man. "But since you asking what do you have?" Ichigo asks.
"Well lets see...I have Roast duck, Roast pork,..." Suddenly the man is interrupted by a loud "I'm sorry!" Everyone focuses on that location. Ichigo recognizes the voice and runs off in the direction he heard it. "That sounded like Hanataro. I better hurry to see if he's OK" He says to himself. The man in the hat simply squints and stares at Ichigo as he leaves He soon sees Hanataro get pushed to the ground by a group of guys. Specifically a group of what appears to be five. One of them simply stares as everything happens.
([F]'s theme song begins to play )
"Now that I think about it..Hanataro told us to avoid a group of guys known as [F]. He didn't know what [F] stood for but from what he heard it meant "Fucked". From what he said, they were nicknamed that because anyone that messes with them are screwed from that point on. They are your run of the mill school gang but two of the members have high positions in the student body. So they get special privileges. One was a blond guy with a 3 layered bang that covers his face, Kira Izuru. Another is bald and has red eye liner on the corner of his eyes Ikkaku Madarame. There was one with short, dark, spiky hair. with a 69 mark on his face, Hisagi Shuuhei. The last two were Renji Abarai, a red headed man with tattoos and long hair and special goggles. And Byakuya Kuchiki, a man with long black hair, and very intimidating eyes. They are currently President and Vice President of the Student Body. To encounter these guys on the first day meant trouble for you the entire year."
"Well what do we have here? Ikkaku asks with a grin . "Is this that weakling Hanataro... was it?" "Why yes it is Ikkaku" Hisagi answers as he folds his arm. Kira then grabs Hanataro's hair from behind and push his head into the ground. "Look at what you did. By bumping into Renji-san you made him drop his lunch on the ground." Kira says with a menacing smile.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to ack!" Hanataro's head is pushed harder into the ground. Its at that point when Renji walks up to him. "You know a fair trade is in order. Your lunch for a week, for my lunch thats one the floor" Renji says before he starts laughing hysterically for a short while. "That's quite fair, isn't that right Mr. President?" Renji asks still smiling and looks in Byakuya's direction.
Byakuya looks down and closes his eyes. "Whatever you say Renji. After all the responsibility to make sure students are treated fairly falls under your jurisdiction." "See that Hanataro its fair after all. Now I will be taking your..." Renji is then interrupted before he could finish by Ichigo's shouting
"Leave Hanataro alone right now!" Ichigo yells as he walks closer. Byakuya's eyes open again as everyone from [F] looks at Ichigo. As he gets closer they become agitated. "Does anyone know who the hell this greenhorn is?" Ikakku asks everyone. "Not one clue" Kira answers. "Maybe he's new to things because he's from the other school." Hisagi suggests. "That would explain why he would interfere. But this is your only warning leave now, and we will forget what has transpired here today." Renji says smiling.
"How about I stay, kick all of your asses, then sit with Hanataro for lunch?" Ichigo says in a angry tone. he folds his fist ready for an attack by one of them. "What did you say to Renji-san?" Kira asks getting upset and walks, quickly towards Ichigo. Renji then hold out his arm and stops Kira. Renji looks down and closes his eyes with a smirk. "You talk a big game but I bet the weakest of us can beat you down." Renji says opening his eyes and stares at Ichigo with a serious look on his face.
"If thats so then bring it on " Ichigo replies to Renji with a seriuous look on his face.
"All right then lets..." Renji says before he is interrupted by Byakuya now."That is enough Renji...Don't get frustrated and worked up over nothing. And I'm not talking about the situation." Byakuya says coldly staring directly at Ichigo.
"But Byakuya he..." Renji tries to explain with a look of disappointment on his face. "Its over for today Renji, after all didn't you deduce he was new to the rules." Byakuya asks Renji. "Yeah I guess ...Tch" Renji said.
"Now then lets just go for now. But before we do remember this. We are letting you get away with this on a mere whim. Next time boy things won't end the same way" Byakuya says with a cold fierceness in his voice. He walks ahead of the others, and every one grits their teeth behind him. As they walk pass Ichigo, Byakuya and Ichigo eyes meet at the corners. Both showing signs of anger in them. Suddenly Ikkaku bumps his shoulder in Ichigo's hard. "Next time Greenhorn, next time" he remarks with a intense laugh.
"Afterwords I checked on Hanataro who seemed shaken up but fine. I didn't know it then but I would become famous for standing up to that group simply known as [F]. And because of it I became a target for a bunch of [F] wannabe members. Lucky me huh?"
-After School-
As Ichigo walks out of the school, he could feel the yes of the students staring at him. he could tell they most likely heard about what happened and those who knew of [F] Probably thought he was either really stupid , or really brave. After he reaches the bottom of the steps he lets out a big heavy sigh. "To think I still have a few hundred more days left before the year ends.."He thought to himself. He is then tapped on the shoulder by someone. He turns around and sees the girl from a while back. Ichigo looks surprised and yet curious as to why she would suddenly want to see him.
"I heard about you and [F], thats pretty damn stupid to me." She comments .
"Yeah well if telling me how stupid I am is all you have to say then I'll be going." Ichigo replies with a frustrated look on his face as he turns around.
"No thats not it. See I need your help. And it seems your the only one brave enough to help me." She says with a concerned look on her face. Please will protect me from [F] in school?"
Ichigo looks completely flabbergasted, "Whats your name anyway?..."
"It's Rukia"
