As We Stare Into the Darkness
Chapter Five
Ichigo saw that time had flown very quickly when he was talking to his teacher, Aizen. He jolted when the bell rang, and students came raging inside the classroom. It was quite noisy to have thirty students cursing and yapping, so Ichigo closed his eyes and gave a stressful frown. Aizen walked back to the chalkboard, waiting for the students to be seated. When he took off his glasses, his face looked even better. Ichigo could hear girls gossiping to themselves, looking at Aizen. It seemed that he never took his glasses off in class. Some people still weren't back, including the fucker, Nnoitora.
'Oh shiz…' Ichigo abruptly thought, 'I didn't have a chance to go to the bathroom after eating lunch!' In sudden realization, Ichigo raised his hand. When Aizen had called him, Ichigo asked "May I go to the bathroom?" Of course, Aizen had gave him the permission to, and Ichigo got up from his seat and headed to the door. When he was about to open it, someone else did that from outside, and Ichigo accidentally bumped his head at the figure's chest, which was walking inside. Ichigo looked up at the muscular sensation, and saw; it was the blue haired hooligan he had noticed before.
Grimmjow was walking in when he opened the door and felt something silky bump into his chest. When he looked down, it was the bright orange hair that had met with his torso. Kurosaki Ichigo… Grimmjow's frown turned to a smirk when he saw the orange haired teen look up.
"…Oops I'm sorry, ma' bad." Ichigo said and walked out. Grimmjow didn't look back at him, but moved to his seat and sat down. He crossed his legs and stared at Nnoitora, who had came in muttering all curse words he can think of. From the scene, it looked like that Nnoitora was having a hard trouble walking, since his thugs were stuck next to him. Nnoitora looked painful, helplessly getting assistance.
"Is there anything wrong, Gilga – Kun?" Aizen called out with a concerning voice. "Shit, no sir." Nnoitora answered with an annoyed tone, urging his thugs to quickly seat him.
"Are you sure?" Aizen softly smiled and asked again. "It seems that you might need the nurse's assistance." It was hella true; Nnotira's legs were tightly stuck together, never coming apart. It seemed that where he got hit by Ichigo was still in a huge shock.
"I guess I'm sure." Nnoitora sat down and replied. He thought that he would need to go if it got worse. Thank goodness the nurse was a man. "Uh, I guess not. I'll just go. Shit… Fucking stings…" After quickly changing his mind, Nnoitora uttered a line of swearing and got up from his seat again. The assistances he had stood up too, willing to help him, but Nnoitora said "No need to cause a freakin' ruckus at the hallway. I don't wanna bring off attention, so just fuck off and stay." Upon saying that, he dragged his legs and walked out of the classroom.
Before all these had happened, Ichigo was walking to the boys' bathroom. It was quite far away from the classroom, so Ichigo would have to walk around a bit. Hands in his pockets, Ichigo kept on pacing on the hall when he discovered a figure crouching at the corner. Ichigo cocked his head to the side, frowning, and strolled down to the person.
"…Hey…?" Ichigo bent down, hands still in his pocket, and looked at the figure- a boy- rolled up as a ball and lying. "Something wrong? You hurt somewhere?"
When the boy looked up at Ichigo, Ichigo's eyes were wide and he straightened up, hands out of his pocket to help the boy. "What's wrong? Your face- it's all…bloody and bruised up!" Ichigo helped the guy get up on his feet. "Someone beat you up badly, is that it?" He questioned.
The boy slowly nodded, then revealed all of his when he stood up.
"Holy-!" Ichigo jumped at the kid's injured face. "Who would do this to you? Why?" Ichigo demanded the kid an answer, but the boy only huffed as he answered;
"…Blue…Blue…" Then Ichigo stopped him.
"Forget it. I don't think you can speak so much in that condition. I think I've gotta bring you to the school nurse. Can you walk?"
"He beat up my face. My legs are still in place."
"…Well then, why were you crumbled up at the floor?" Ichigo lifted an eyebrow, looking at the boy. The boy sighed and answered, "I don't know… it just hurt too much to stand, so…" Ichigo shrugged and turned around to head to the nurse's office. Ichigo stopped for a brief second when he wheeled around at the boy again. "Wait… But weren't the others passing by? They just left you here like that?"
The boy nodded like it was nothing, and Ichigo just sighed and continued to stride down the hall. He didn't expect much from this school. But again; how can they just leave an injured kid and pass by if it was just some trash on the street?
"Hold on…" Ichigo turned back to the boy. "I'm new, so I don't know where the nurse is. You can lead. The boy nodded then started to walk. He turned his head to Ichigo then asked, "… You're new here?"
Ichigo placed his hands at the back of his head and replied "yeah, I've just transferred today. And I see that the kids are all-"
"Messed up, right?" The boy interrupted and completed Ichigo's sentence. Ichigo looked back at the kid and stared.
"You think so too? So I'm not the only one!" Ichigo exclaimed and sighed in deep relief to see that he wasn't the only one. "I know. I'm not one of them. I actually don't like how they act in class as well." The injured boy replied with a sigh as well.
"I hella agree." Ichigo rolled his eyes and replied in agreement. "I'm so glad that someone else who thinks like me is here." The boy looked pleased as well.
"I'm also glad to find you too." He replied, and Ichigo smacked the boy's back lightly, grinning.
"I'm the one who found you! You didn't find me, idiot." Ichigo said with a chuckle, and the boy as well, did too.
As the two boys walked down the hallway, they finally reached the nurse's office.
The office "smelled" sort of strange to Ichigo.
"… Why do I feel that this place is sorta creepy?" Ichigo narrowed his eyes and frowned as he questioned.
The boy chuckled as he replied.
"Of course you might feel that way. I thought the same thing when I first saw the nurse. He had these weird things in his office, like… some weird medicine with weird color…and smells, too? And he has a hat on in school. His outfit is kinda weird as well. He's so mysterious. But now we've gotten used to everything."
"He? The nurse is a guy?" Ichigo turned and asked.
"Yeah. That's not that weird, is it?" The boy replied. Ichigo saw that the boy's face was getting worse. It was swollen, and bruised up badly.
We…? Ichigo thought. Oh wait… there were the other students too, not that I really cared. Ichigo had forgotten about the others in this school because he was annoyed about them. Who in the world would do that to the boy? But again, Ichigo really couldn't be surprised at the abuse in this kind of school. Maybe he couldn't blame the school either, since it was the students whose attitudes were like crap. Ichigo shook his head, trying to get it out of his mind, and raised his fist to knock on the door, other hand shoved in his pocket.
"…I don't think you have to do that." The boy said, making Ichigo stare at him.
"…Why is that?" The boy looked back at Ichigo and started to explain, but was interrupted by the door opening with a loud bang. A man with a hat on peeked through the door, and came out in front of the two students.
"Oh! Another one we have? Anyways, come in!" The man who seemed to be the nurse spoke in a welcoming tone and went back inside.
Ichigo stood for a moment, dumbfounded to see the man.
"…That's the reason why." The boy grinned and answered.
"For some reason, the nurse just spots us ten meters from the office door, and opens it without notice. How funny is that? I guess it's from experience from the overflowing students."
Ichigo thought that it was funny, if what the boy said was true. It was actually creepy. And if what the boy had said is true, then the nurse must have been in the school for quite some years. Experience is built up from time. He had thought that many teachers would quit this kind of shitty school, according to what Nnoitora had told him.
Ichigo also thought that the kids would fight a lot and get hurt often, so the nurse would've had plenty of kids heading to his office. Whichever the reason was, it was certain that the nurse had a lot of visitors to his room.
Anyways, Ichigo snapped out of his thoughts once again when he heard the door bang open again.
"What's wrong? Did you hurt your leg or something? You can't seem to walk inside?" The nurse said, and Ichigo scowled.
"Uh is that supposed to be a joke or something? Well if it is, I gotta explain; we walked all the way around here from an end of the hallway." The boy next to him nodded in agreement.
"Well… Let's go in." The nurse smiled
Ichigo nodded and looked at the boy's face, and at the moment his eyes were widen.
"Holy crap!" Ichigo exclaimed. The boy's face had gotten worse. "Let's go in. NOW." Ichigo pushed the boy in, and the nurse stepped to the side to let the two in.
Inside the nurse's office was as the boy had told Ichigo. It was full with weird… medicines? And it smelled like… some manufactory.
"So," The nurse smiled and turned to face Ichigo. "I've never seen you around before, are you a new student?"
Ichigo frowned as always, and replied "yeah I am. I've been asked that question for the second time today. Does it mean that you know everyone in this school?"
"I guess it does. You can call me Urahara. And you are…?"
"Kurosaki Ichigo. And my name does NOT stand for strawberry! It's Ichi (一) as-"
Ichigo introduced his name and was about to explain the meanings of it as he always do. Urahara stopped him and giggled.
"It's alright, don't explain it. No need to fret about your name! I'll call you Kurosaki – kun. Don't worry – I won't tease." Urahara seemed to be enjoying Ichigo's small blush that were forming at his cheeks as he scowled. He then turned to the inured boy.
"So… your face seems to be beaten up quite roughly." Urahara stated as he studied the boy's face. Ichigo nodded, agreeing at what the nurse had said.
"Hell yeah. I almost jumped when I saw him. Who in the world would do this? Then again, I am not even surprised since the students here are just shi-"
Before he completed the last sentence, Ichigo stopped himself and covered his mouth with one hand, awkwardly shutting himself. He pretended to cough.
"Did you get into a fight?" Urahara asked the boy, leading him to sit on one of the beds. Ichigo interrupted and responded wildly at the question.
"Hell no! Just look at him! He was beaten up lopsided! I just want to beat the crap out of the one who did this thing! It just makes me so irritated!" Ichigo was shrieking with rage.
Just then, the door opened with a loud bang, causing Ichigo to roll his eyes and turn around. The one standing outside was-
"Hey." Nnoitora called, and Urahara turned around, "greeting" him.
"Hi! Are you hurt somewhere?" Urahara was smiling, and Ichigo was just glaring at the tall figure walking into the office.
"Well, duh. This is the nurse's office, am I right?" Nnoitora tsked and placed himself next to where the injured boy was seating. "Holy crap, what the hell is wrong with this guy's face?"
"It's none of your business." Ichigo snapped and narrowed his eyes at Nnoitora. "You hurt somewhere too?" Ichigo then asked, his eyes scanning at Nnoitora.
"Thanks to someone, yes I did." With sarcasm intended, Nnotora glowered at Ichigo and hmphed.
"Well then, I'm supposed to go back to my class, so I'll be back to see the kid later." Ichigo turned around and said to Urahara. Urahara nodded, and then opened the door for Ichigo to step out. "Thanks." Ichigo murmured and walked out.
Ichigo was walking down the hallway when he realized that he didn't know the way to his classroom. He was just led by the boy when he was coming here too.
'Shit…' Ichigo swore inside. He was lost. He began to wander around and peeked in through other classrooms when one of the doors opened. Ichigo jolted and try to run when someone gripped him on the upper arm. The teen sighed and turned to face the teacher.
The man looked very… stern and had a 69 tattoo on his left eye, just under the eye. Ichigo gulped and stared. The teacher opened his mouth.
"Why are you wandering around the hall and sneaking up on classrooms? You skippin' class?" Ichigo shook his head and denied, "No! I mean- yeah, no, I wasn't."
"…What class are you in?" The teacher asked and Ichigo gulped and answered. "Uh… I…don't know." He felt stupid himself; even though he was new, Ichigo hadn't bothered to memorize his class number. The teacher raised an eyebrow and responded.
"You expect me to believe that?"
"Um, of course not. But too bad that it's the truth." Ichigo stated, and he was not to glad to see the teacher's face getting annoyed. It was just then when a figure appeared from his back, facing the 69 teacher.
"I think he's a new guy." The silver haired man spoke. His eyes and mouth were Creeping out Ichigo. The man continued, "like me."
"…Are you the new teacher?" The 69 teacher questioned, but were still holding on to Ichigo's arm.
The silver haired fox nodded and looked at Ichigo. "I'll take this kid to the classroom, if you don't mind." He then took Ichigo by the other arm and headed off.
"Uhh…" Ichigo was stammering when he was getting dragged by the silver haired dude. "Thanks, but do you even know what classroom I'm in?" Ichigo looked around the hall, trying to recognize his classroom.
"I hope I do. By the way my name's Ichimaru Gin. What's yours?"
"… Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo was too tired to explain the meanings of his name.
"That's a cute name." Oh shit. I don't want that crap again. Ichigo took a deep breath when the man stopped in front of a door. Ichigo looked up and saw that he was at his classroom.
"…How'd you know what class I'm in?" Ichigo stared at the silvered haired fox and demanded.
"Well, this is the class I'm going to be teaching in a subject." Ichimaru replied silently, but Ichigo didn't seem to hear it and was back inside his room, closing the door on the silver haired man.
"What's taken you so long?" Ichigo's eyes widened, and when he turned his head, it was Nnoitora who had spoken. Ichigo snarled at him
"What's taken you so short?" Nnoitora sneered at this statement.
"Well I guess I wasn't hurt that badly? Plus, I took a shortcut." Ichigo rolled his eyes and went back to his seat.
"Class, we're got a new science teacher today." Aizen suddenly stated.
"The previous teacher, Mr. Kurotsuchi, is not able to come to teach you anymore. There seems to be a certain situation. It is sad, but we've obtained a new teacher, and he is also my close friend, so please treat him well."
"Sure!" Someone shouted, and the class giggled.
Someone was uttering, "So he quit? Nice thing that he did. That bastard Mayuri was so freaking annoying. I hope the new one's not so creepy like him." Ichigo heard that, and was positive that the old science teacher had quitted because of the disgusting attitudes of the misbehaving students in the class.
Just then, the door slid open and a man walked inside. Ichigo eyed the man and saw that he was the silver haired fox- the one he had confronted in the hall just now. He was the new science teacher?
"Class," Aizen called out, "this is your new science teacher, Ichimaru Gin – sensei. Please welcome him." The students cheered out, undoubtedly happy at their old teacher being gone.
"Arah…Well well, I'm sorta glad ta be here, and my name is- as you've heard from your homeroom teacher, Ichimaru Gin. I really don't mind if ya call me Gin." Ichimaru smirked, and the way he did made Ichigo feel very eerie. The guy's features were spine chilling.
"Well, now Ichimaru sensei is going to be in for the science period. I'll see you later." After saying this, Aizen stepped out, and when his eyes met with Ichigo, he gave a slight smile and left. Ichigo bowed his head a little to give a respectful bye to the teacher.
"Well…where should I start?" Gin stood in front of the chalkboard, and one of the guys raised his hand and called out.
"How about teaching us the process of sexually transmitted diseases? It's gonna be so interesting!" The class busted out laughing. Another stood up and yelled out,
"No! I don't wanna learn about the disease! It's boring! Can we learn about S.E.X itself? We can also have a demonstration in front of the class! Someone can volunteer to do that too!" Oh no, Ichigo though. This is dangerous. What kind of students would say that aloud in front of a teacher? Aren't they ashamed?
"Well… I can teach you about it, if you're so interested in it." Gin smirked, and the class was clapping and yelling "OOOOOH! O.M.G Are you serious?"
Hell no… I don't like this. Ichigo just stared at the rampaging kids. When he looked around, only one of the kids were just sitting there, looking all bored and shit.
…The blue haired dude… Grimmjow was grunting to himself, not enjoying the sight of stupid kids showing their interest in sex.
Ichimaru was actually teaching the kids those kinds of stuff. Maybe it wasn't completely inappropriate, since they were high scholars. However, Ichigo still felt uncomfortable at sitting with a group of students, listening to all these. He kept on shifting his body from his seat.
It was then when his eyes were widened and he jolted from his seat, trying hard not to bolt up. Ichigo felt a hand touching his upper thigh. At the corner of his eye, he saw – Nnoitora casually looking at the teacher with a grin, and his hand under the table, touching Ichigo's thigh. Ichigo gasped, and gripped on Nnoitora's wrist to pry it off from his body. Nnoitora didn't care and started to move to a more private place, causing Ichigo to frown and shiver.
Ugh…Ichigo moaned inside, and he was afraid that he couldn't manage to keep it to himself if this harassment continued. Nnoitora was still grinning, and was starting to unbutton Ichigo's pants. Ichigo finally looked at Nnoitora and whispered in a low voice, 'stop.' He was gritting his teeth.
'Heh, why?' Nnoitora replied, and Ichigo gave force to his hand, hoping that it would be enough to keep Nnoitora's hand off of him. "Because I don't like it." Ichigo replied, and Nnoitora snickered. It was irritating to Ichigo, and he was just enjoying this crap.
'I'm sorry, but that ain't gonna happen.' Nnoitora gave a force on his his hand, and Ichigo winced and leaned his body at his desk. He took a deep breath. What the hell was Nnoitora doing?
"Yo class." Ichimaru stopped and said, "I think I gotta step out for a second to talk to your homeroom teacher for a moment. You've got some freetime till then." The class whined surprisingly, distressed that they stopped at learning the most exciting part.
"Heh, don't you worry. I'll be back later~" Ichimaru waved playfully and left.
Right after the door closed, Someone stood up and yelled out, "WHO WANTS TO BE A VOLUNTEER AT DEMONSTRATING THE LESSON WE'VE LEARNED TODAY!" The studenst cheered, and Nnoitora took his hands off from Ichigo's thigh. Ichigo gave out a sigh of relief.
(Because of Hollow Ichigo- Ichigo's request ^^;;)
GRIMMJOW'S POV!
I was just so bored when the class had started again.
It was worse when Kurosaki had left the classroom. I didn't have anything left to watch for entertainment. I gave a little attention when Nnoitora walked into the classroom, huddled by a bunch of his thugs. He seemed to be in a lot of fuckin pain, and even though I really didn't give a fuck about it, I was looking at him. What could have possibly happened? When he said that nothing was wrong, I laughed inside. Damn right, just look at yourself, you fucker. You look like as if you just got castrated!
I hmphed when Nnoitora stepped outside as well.
I was thinking about the silky hair that had brushed against my school uniform when Kurosaki had bumped into me. Wait… How would I know if it's silky or not? My chest was covered in clothes fabric. Damn I'm so stupid. What the hell am I thinking about?
A few minutes later Nnoitora was back, way earlier than Kurosaki. It was earlier than I had expected, since he looked… quite painful when he had first came in, not that I really gave a shit about.
And about ten minutes later, the orange haired brat was back as well, looking surprised at the fact that Nnoitora had made it into the class first. They were talking some shit to each other then the class started again as Kurosaki got in his seat.
When class was going on all I looked at was Kurosaki. I don't know why but I just couldn't seem to get my eyes off of him. Well, fuck. I never even pay attention to the lesson in the first place. Though I don't even know why I'm pretty much of in a high level in grades. Who knows, maybe it's just because the morons here are stupid.
A new science teacher came in, and I was wondering how long he would hold on for. Mayuri was in for about a month, and then he gave up. It was a good thin anyways. No one liked him.
The kids looked very hopelessly immature when they started cheering for some…sex lessons? I shook my head.
As the "lesson" was going on, I turned my head and noticed… Nnoitora touching the Kurosaki brat. Kurosaki looked pretty struck to be harassed by that guy. I saw him trying to stop the shitty pervert, and then leaning his body forward, eyes closed in a tight frown. What the fuck was he doing? I thought. I meant that for the both of them. I felt like smashing my desk in half somehow. SHIT. I grimaced and cracked my knuckles. Why was I feeling like this? Nnoitora that bastard had tried on touching my prey. I heard a snap inside my hand and when I checked, my pen was broken in my palm. I tsked and threw it in front of me. Some girl got hit by it and when she turned around to look, I gave glared fiercely at her and she turned back.
It was just then Ichimaru had left the classroom for a bit.
Shit… I didn't like what was about to happen.
Normal POV at the last minute!
Ichigo surely didn't like what was about to happen.
He definitely needed to do something about this crap.
'Shit…Dear God… Please help me, this poor soul who is stuck in a sickening school, and purify this sickening group of students…'
Maybe he was giving a prayer at what was never going to be heard.
OMG! I'M FINALLY DONE! My head was aching but I felt that I had to make up for the days I haven't been updating…
I felt so guilty to have you all waiting... (though I was honestly shocked at how many of you had liked this story ^^)
