Rumors

"Hey, what's with the kid?"

"Huh, oh that's Kurosaki-taichou's son."

"Hmph, so he's just another big-shot who thinks he can get through on name alone huh."

"I heard he receives personal training from both Ichimaru-taichou and Aizan-taichou."

"No way! That little brat!?"

Ichigo tried his best to ignore the people around him. Ever since he had joined the academy he had been the center of every rumor. It wasn't everyday after all that a six year old joined the academy. Really, Ichigo wouldn't have minded waiting until he was older to start but Aizen wanted him to start early.

If only they'd talk a bit quieter though. It was as if they didn't care if Ichigo heard them or not. It really pissed him off.

"Yo brat! You don't belong here. Why don't go home to your momma."

Oh great. This one was particularly stupid. Ichigo bit back a groan and clenched his fist.

"Tch. Moron."

"WHAT! ARRRRR!"

The man swung his fist at Ichigo. Ichigo ducked and responded with a kick. The two exchanged blows until Ichigo managed to gwet behind his opponent. He delivered a swift chop to the back of the man's neck causing him to drop unconscious. Ichigo gave one last look at the people in the hall before continuing his walk down the hall.

Wow, sorry for making you wait so long for an update. I've actually had this one written for several weeks but I hadn't gotten around to typing it up. I've been suffering a bit from sleep depravation lately (I've been staying up late rewatching the Bleach Musicals, lol) and I've een swamped wit school work. I hate college. Hopefully I'll have another update up by the end of next week.
