Chapter five

The next morning Jake caught up with Toshiro…more like Jake got up early and scaled the wall up to the Ravenclaw tower, and climbed into Toshiro's dorm.

"Good morning Snowball-chan," Jake yelled successfully waking up Toshiro and the rest of the Ravenclaw seventh years.

"Jake, what is the meaning of this?" Toshiro yelled jumping out of bed and closing his tiny hands around Jake's shoulders. The small white haired captain lunged at the tall dark haired captain.

"I just wanted to say good morning to you Snowball," Jake said innocently. All the other boys in the dorm had opened their curtains to see Jake sprawled on his back with Toshiro straddling him.

"Um," said Ravenclaw quidditch captain Rodger Davis. "Jake, I didn't know you swung that way."

"What?" Jake asked. He then realized that his white haired friend was straddling him. "Oh shit."

Toshiro had realized their position as well and promptly jumped off Jake. Jake waved goodbye and walked out of the dorm toward the Ravenclaw common room.

"Hey," barked a student as Jake descended the staircase, "you're a Slytherin you shouldn't be up here."

"Yeah well," Jake started trying to think of some humorous and witty comment to spit back at the other Ravenclaw. For the first time in a while his brain failed him.

"I'm head boy, I have supreme rights over the school," Jake said smartly. "I'm just that awesome, don't hate me cuz you ain't me."

The Ravenclaw student just stared at Jake, and the Slytherin stared back before he left the dorm.

Risa was patrolling the hallways before breakfast looking for her partner in crime aka Jake when she spotted the dark haired head boy coming down the main staircase.

"Emmerson," she called running up to him. Jake snapped himself out of lala land to pay attention to what Risa was going to say.

"'Sup Reese?" he asked leaning against the banister.

"Remember that conversation that we overheard in the headmaster's office last night?" she said in a low voice.

"Yeah, what of it?" Jake hissed.

"Can you keep an eye on Kenpachi for me?" Risa asked her fellow captain. "You used to be in his company is there any way to get information from him?"

"That's easy," Jake laughed. "He usually tells Yachiru, his lieutenant, everything, if I can find her and get a shitload of chocolate then I can get any answer about D-11 that I want."

"I'll watch Jushiro, and ask Jen to tail Byakuya."

"What about the rest of the team?"

"I told Ichigo Jack and Rukia, but I think Jen's the only other person that should know. Maybe Toshiro but I'm not too sure, I don't need a big fiasco."

"That makes sense; I'll leave that up to you."

"Oh and one last thing before we drag our friends out of breakfast to give them all yet another weapon," Risa said.

"What's that?" Jake asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Well I need a second in command and I was hoping you'd be able to fill that post?" He smiled at her, a sinister plotting smile, much unlike the cocky grin he usually sported.

"Sure."

~*~*~*~*

Risa and Jake walked into the great hall together and hunted out their Soul Reaper friends. They were all huddled in a corner of the Slytherin table chatting amongst themselves.

"Guys," Risa said as she and Jake approached the table.

"Hey look who decided to show up," Renji said cocking his head at Risa.

"Find a nice English girl yet Abarai?" Jake asked plopping himself down between Jen and Rukia. "I can hook you up."

"Yeah, Jake's such a womanizer," Jack laughed. "He could take Wood up on the running." Jack quickly caught sight of Risa's hardened expression. "Gomennasai taichou."

"Look, I told Toshiro that the reasons you didn't get a wand in Diagon Alley is because we've had special wands based on your zanpaku-to made," Risa addressed her team. "They're in now and you have to get them before the first lesson."

"What is our first lesson?" Rangiku asked.

"Defense against the dark arts," Toshiro answered he was always on top of scheduling. Jake and Jack exchanged maniacal grins.

"Let's get our wands then," Shuhei said getting up from the table.

"Let's wait," Jen said. She was sitting next to Marcus and the smile on her face was huge. Jack slipped his arm around Rukia's waist and pulled her into the seat nest to him and kissed her on the cheek. Several passing fourth years sighed. Ichigo sat down next to Risa. The Slytherin table seemed to have a heavier darker aurora around it but no one seemed to care however. After a few minutes the rest of the group came by the table and sat down. Many of the Slytherins looked disgusted that a few Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws had encroached their territory. However the looks went away as Marcus shot them a glance. Even as an Alumnus his reputation still lingered and the quidditch captain had immense power. Jake took one look at Izuru.

"I'm disowning you," he said bluntly, Izuru blushed.

"Why taichou?" Izuru asked getting up and taking cover behind Renji.

"You're a freaking Hufflepuff! I can't be seen with you!"

"That's mean," Risa said. "He's you're lieutenant." Jake sighed

"Easy for you to say," he told her. "Look at Shuhei, he's a Slytherin."

"What are a bunch of Huff 'n Puffs, Raves and Gryffindorks doing at the Slytherin table?" Malfoy and his cronies named Crabbe and Goyle had returned. Someone hadn't gotten Marcus's 'stare of impending doom.'

"What are you doing here?" Jen snapped standing up. She towered a good four inches over Malfoy. He didn't back down.

"I should be asking you the same question Bletchley," he said. Marcus stood up now followed by Risa and Jake.

"Get lost," Jake advised. "Or someone will be out of a position." Malfoy ignored him and directed his attention to Marcus.

"What are you doing back?" he sneered. Marcus merely smirked at his former teammate.

"What I do is no concern of yours, however the converse is not true, stay away from Jessica, you snarky little shit," Marcus snarled at Malfoy. He went paler than he was and sprinted the length of the hall to the opposite end of the table. "If I find out he's with my sister…"

Jen sat down and dragged Marcus down with her. Jake sat down as well Risa remained standing.

"Risa," said Toshiro, "You're drawing attention, sit down." Risa sat next to Ichigo but stared over at the Gryffindor table.

"He's back as well," Jen said stabbing a bit of waffle with unnecessary force. "If we ignore it maybe it'll go away."

"Is that that Wood guy?" Renji asked looking over at the Gryffindor table. Wood was over chatting with his former quidditch team.

"Yes," Risa snarled. "Can you tell? Why the hell is he back?"

"Dunno," Jake said setting down his fork and reaching for more bacon. "Who cares it's not like he's gonna do anything, bloody coward. But who cares? What's our first class?"

"Defense against the dark arts," Toshiro said shooting Jake a look. Jake and Jack exchanged maniacal grins.

After eating the group went to DADA. The room was empty except for a few Gryffindors including Angelina, Alicia and Katie. Jake and Jack sat together in the front. Their gleeful expressions were starting to scare Risa. After the rest of the class had filed in the bell rang. Twenty seconds later Umbridge walked in.

"Hello class," she said sweetly. "Please put your wands away." The class groaned and pulled out their books and pens. Umbridge tapped the board and several lines appeared and needed to be copied down. Jake groaned loudly.

"Are we gonna like do the spells?" he asked. His notebook was closed and his arms were crossed. Trust Jake to fight the system.

"No Mr…?" Umbridge started.

"Emmerson, Ralph Waldo Emmerson."

"Mr. Emmerson, the practice of spells by non ministry trained wizards shall be banned at Hogwarts."

"Are you kidding me?" Jake yelled standing up startling the class. "What are we supposed to do incase of attack? Engage in a rousing game of dodge spell?"

"Who is going to attack you Ralph?"

"Lord Voldemort duh, Sosuke Aizen maybe…and some assassins from Kirigakure…did I forget anything?"

"To keep your fat ass mouth shut," Jen and Risa barked. Jake ignored them and continued his rant.

"Are you saying you-know-who is back Mr. Emmerson?" Umbridge said clearly starting to loose her patience.

"Maybe, oh wait yeah I am!"

"He is not back!"

"Yes he is and just because you're too much of a narrow-minded bureaucrat to realize exactly how much danger the world is in right now then I'd much rather have Byakuya Kuchiki or hell Kenpachi Zaraki teaching us because then we'll learn how to fight back! Not that half of this class needs lessons!"

"He is not back!"

"You work for the government how the hell would you know! I'm from company eleven! We don't go down without a fight and when I say fight I mean fight! Yarrow and blood bitches!"

"Detention Mr. Emmerson, tonight seven o'clock!"

"Put me in detention all you want I'll fight the system ANARCHY IN THE UK!"

Risa and Jen got out of their seats and pulled Jake back down.

"Go shove your foot in your mouth dumbass," Jen hissed. Risa looked as if she'd begin to breathe fire. Jake wasn't going down without a fight.

"So basically everything that happened last year didn't?"

"You little punk," Umbridge said now clearly fuming. "Sit down and shut up, I will not tolerate this nonsense in my class."

"So because you slept with Fudge that gives you the right to boss us around like mindless drones?" Thankfully he said this sentence in Japanese so Umbridge had no idea what he really said. Jen bit her lip trying not to laugh Renji however snorted loudly and Rukia giggled. Toshiro looked embarrassed and Rangiku was in hysterics. Izuru looked appalled that his taichou would say something like that.

"Ralph, please speak English in my class," Umbridge yelled writing a not on pink parchment, "now bring this to the head of your house and get out off my class."

"Can do," Jake said taking the note, putting it in his robes, and saluting. He left muttering a few choice words.

"Well that was interesting," Shuhei said as they all sat in the courtyard during break. "In all the years I've known Emmerson I've never seen him get pissed like that."

"Jake can get pissed," Toshiro said. "For him it's a double edged sword, if he can channel that anger in battle that he's lethal."

"I hope that bastard realizes that he probably just screwed over any plans we had," Renji said crossing his arms and leaning against the bench.

"It won't exactly blow this cover," Jack said playing with Rukia's hair. "He always fights with at least one teacher a week, he's a non-conformist. But really Umbridge had it coming"

"Hence why he now dubbed himself as 'Ralph Waldo'" Jen said simply. "I'm going to kick his ass when he gets back."

"Let me help," Renji snarled.
