Well, ... here's the first chapter. I'm working on the second chapter already, so ... ummm ... yeah. I haven't published since January, on my other account that I forgot the password to. .

Chapter 1

Kurai's eyes widened as a huge Reiatsu was released in the area that Rukia was in.

"What the hell are you doing, Rukia?" She thought, pressing the Shinigami pass to her chest. She jumped away from her body, using shunpo to get to where the large Reiatsu was at.

Rukia saw Ichigo when the dust cleared. "I only meant to give him half of my powers, but he took them all …." she thought, amazed at the size of his Zanpaku-to. She immediately saw Kurai, a fellow Shinigami, jump down from a rooftop.

Kurai's eyes widened slightly. "The Reiatsu belongs to …. him?" she thought in awe. She then saw his broad, orange hair. "I'll have to remember him, …" she thought, joking to herself. "He'll be hard to forget."

"Kurai? What are you doing here?" Rukia said, looking up at Kurai's uncovered eye, her left eye. Kurai sighed heavily. "I noticed his Reiatsu, " she said, gesturing to the orange-haired teen. "It was hard to ignore."

Ichigo cut the Hollow's mask in half, releasing a dying screech from it, as it turned to black dust.

"That was impressive, ….." Kurai announced once the tension had gone down. The orange-haired teen scowled. "Who the hell are you?"

Kurai sighed, helping Rukia stand. "I'm Konpaku Kurai Haku, " she said. "And your name is?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo, " Ichigo muttered in response. (It's a little confusing. Just remember this for when Kurai states her name: Konpaku = her last name. Kurai Haku = her first name. Got it memorized? XD)

The Following Day:

Kurai's POV:

I shoved past everyone on the way to my first class with Rukia. "Don't blame me that they didn't have a uniform in my size!" I growled to Rukia.

Rukia just laughed. "You're going to stand out like a sore thumb, then!" I rolled my eyes. "I. Don't. Care."

"You might when you have eyes on you … all day."

"No, I won't, " I sighed. "Now, will you shut the hell up?"

We walked into class, all eyes set on me.

I was wearing black skin-tight skinny jeans, black and red Vans, a black spaghetti-strap tank top, and a black Jack Skellington hoodie that was half-zipped-up. The thick, black, nylon phone-strap on my Blackberry Torch hung out of my pocket, right next to my jingling keys and the dirty-copper-colored Shinigami pass on the black leather strap.

I noticed .. who was it? Kurosawa? Kuro …. Kurosaki! Kurosaki Ichigo. I noticed Kurosaki Ichigo in the classroom. I walked up to him with Rukia beside me.

He looked extremely shocked to see us. "I should read his thoughts …." I simply tapped into his thoughts.

"What the hell are they doing here?" I heard him mentally-consult himself. "What the fuck is up with this?"

Rukia turned her hand over, revealing a message she wrote with a Sharpie on the walk to Hanakura High, read, "Say anything, and you die."

He looked at it, then looked at Rukia in horror. I bit back laughter as Rukia smiled sweetly.

"I'm Kuchiki Rukia, " she bowed respectfully. "I'm Konpaku Kurai Haku, call me Kurai." I mumbled.

A teen with brown hair spoke-up, "It's nice to meet you two gorgeous ladies!" He smiled in a daze-full manner, drooling. I planted my foot in his face. "Don't try it, hentai." I sneered to him in disgust. (hentai = pervert)

Ichigo scowled as the brown-haired teen fell to the floor with a bloody nose. "He deserved that, " he scoffed. I rolled my eyes. "I think everyone but him knew that was coming." Rukia sighed.

I nodded in agreement, cracking my knuckles. "Are there any more perverts like him around here?" I growled as a girl with short, spiky black hair walked up. "Yeah, … Chizuru over there. She's a lesbian." she muttered bitterly, shooting a clod glare at, who I presumed to be, Chizuru.

I shivered. "That's just nasty, ..." I said, fixing my cold stare on Chizuru, who looked back at me with a look that said, "What?"

"By the way, I'm Arisawa Tatsuki, " she mumbled to me. I nodded. "Konpaku Kurai Haku, " I said, hating my full name. "You can call me Kurai, … Tatsuki."

"Alright, It's nice to meet ya', Kurai."

The teacher walked in just a few short minutes later. "Class, take your seats, please." she said as a solemn look of disinterest swept across my face.

Several Hours Later:

Regular POV:

Kurai groaned as she walked out of her last class with Rukia. It turns out, she and Rukia had the same classes, at the same times, as Kurosaki Ichigo.

The orange-haired teen soon walked out, right behind them.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Kurai scowled. "We're going to high school, … what else?" she responded, a tone of annoyance in her voice.
