"All right students, it's breaktime now. You may leave the classroom but please come back when the next bell rings for your next class." Kuchiki Byakuya slapped his book upon the teacher's desk as he says.

Everyone dispersed, except for the Soul Society members, Byakuya and Ichigo, Inoue, Ishida and Sado.

"Kuchiki-taichou, what are you doing here? We didn't hear any news about you going to be here." Ikakku asked Team Six's captain, he continued, "And this mission, is it so important that you, personally, have to come and oversee it? Huh, Kuchiki-SENSEI?", clearly, Ikakku wasn't happy that the captain teased him earlier on.

The others suppressed a giggle-gasp.Nobody dared to cracak a joke with Byakuya. But it sure was brave of Baldy head to try to make fun of Byakuya.

"Third seat of team eleven, must I remind you that this mission is highly dangerous, and I don't think that the likes of you are able to handle this. And I might give you a llittle titbit, that, I am not the only one acting a teacher down here. There are other Soul Society members besides you all down here." A now serious(ah, back to normal) Byakuya replied. 'Does this remind you again of the importantness of this mission that has been entrusted to us?"

The other S.S members now looked down on their feet, keeping quiet.

"Oi, oi, I don't care what mission you guys are talking about, but I want to know what are you all doing here. In my school" Ichigo suddenly said, unable to repress his curiousity. First he saw Renji, and then he saw the other Soul Society members, and now, the great Kuchiki.

The Soul Society people, except for Byakuya, looked at each other unclear of whether to answer.

Then suddenly, Byakuya spoke again, "Kurosaki Ichigo and friends, I ask of you all whether you would all like to join us in this mission. If you don't wish to, it''s alright if you don't wish to get involved. But if you do, then will I reveal the details of the mission to you." He scrutinised the four of them.

"I only asked what you were doing in my school, what's this about a mission?" Ichigo asked irritatedly, wanting to know an answer.

"Well, if you won't agree to join us, you won't ever know what we'll be doing down here in your school. "

"Ooh, teme, you sure know how to play us with your fingers." Ichigo shouted at Byakuya.

The others gasped in shock. This human boy, this... young human boy, just called the head of one of the 4 noblest family in Soul Society.. a...a... TEME!

Byakuya's face hardened more than usual, and said coldly, "I'll give you some time to think about it, till then I'm waiting for a positive reply."

Ichigo looked at his three friends, should they? Shouldn't they?

"Recess will soon be over, you all better get going before the others find you all clumped together." He advised, then as he was almost out of the classrom, Orihime interrupted,

"Uh, I'd like to help."

Byakuya stopped in his steps. The others listened intently, finally looking up again.

Orihime explained, "Last time, at Soul Society, I wasn't able to help anyone, for that I am sorry. And I want to redeem myself. So..so, I wish to be able to offer my help this time, is it possible?"

Sado spoke also, "I want to be able to help too."

Ishida, "Oh, hey, if you two are going, it wouldn't be nice to keep all the fun to yourselves, won't it? Then I want to join this mission too."

Ichigo looked at his friends' sudden volunteery outburst. he then smiled.

"Well," he scratched his head, "Ishida's right, if my friends are going to do this mission, then I don't want to be left out." He grinned.

Kuchiki-sensei, can you tell me the details now?"

Byakuya didnt turn his head to face them, he just murmured, "Soon enough." Adjusting his tie(can you imagine! Byakuya fondling with his tie! I can't either), he walked out of the room.

The atmosphere was heavy, then Hanatarou brightened up, "Sou ka, let's go for our recess!"

The others nodded in agreement. It was sure tensing trying to stay in the same room with phoney-Byakuya teaching Mathematics and making conversation. So tensing they used all their strength not talking in case they offended the cold and distant Kuchiki Byakuya.

Or is he anymore, cold and distant?

(A/N: I almost left out the other characters. Because actually, I wasn't really sure about their characteristics. Well, I mean, I don't know exactly how to portray them too. But I suppose I could look at the Bleach episodes again. More ideas please! Thank you!)
