A/N: Hey guys, This is the first proper chapter to my story and I hope you enjoy it. This being my first fic I'm not entirely sure how long to make chapters but we will see how it goes. Just need to get this out of the way.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. My Ocs however are mine.

Chapter 1

"Class, we have a new student" the teacher said all too enthusiastic. And into the room walked a young man around 6 feet tall. He was wearing pretty standard school uniform. Trousers that seemed a touch too long for him that were slightly covering his black shoes, his shirt wasn't done up at the top button and if you looked closely you could see a black t-shirt underneath his shirt with some writing on it that could not be made out. He was also wearing a black wristband on his wrist which had Metallica written on it. His clothes are all pretty standard the teacher thought to herself, his hair isn't exactly standard though. The new student donned hair that was sort of dark orange, medium length and kind of in a mess, he also had blue eyes that looked like they could stare a hole in anyone. "Why don't you introduce yourself young man and tell us a bit about yourself?" the teacher again said in her over enthusiastic tone.

"Thank you sensei..."

"Yorokobi Sensei" the teacher said and smiled as he nodded his head in understanding.

"My name is Saisho, please do not feel uncomfortable about calling me by this name as it is the only name that I have. I'm 17, pretty much like the rest of you in here and if you want to know more about me then your going to have to ask me sometime because standing up in front of everyone like this isn't my style." Better not tell them about the fact that I've studied three different forms of martial arts, or the more absurd fact that I can see ghosts, Saisho thought to himself. As he was standing there he took the opportunity to observe the rest of the class. Seems like a pretty standard bunch of people he thought as he rolled his eyes from left to right. The only people who stand out are this guy at the back who seems to be huge. Standing up he must seem to be around 7 feet tall. He also had scruffy brown hair that covered one of his eyes. He has slightly darker skin than everyone else in the class and doesn't seem to talk too much since he's the only person not currently chatting to someone. The other person was a girl who he noticed because she too had orange hair, upon further inspection she was quite a skinny girl and had a weird hair pin encased inside her long orange hair. She looked as if she didn't care about what was going on, or in fact that wasn't quite right, she looked as if she thought that everyone else around her was inferior to her in some manner despite the fact that she was noticeably shorter than everyone else in the room.

"Why don't you take a seat in the far right corner at the back besides Mamoru" she said pointing to the seat next to the large guy that Saisho was looking at earlier. Saisho without saying a word walked to the back of the class and took his seat. Before taking out his books and stationary he had a quick look outside of the window. So this is Karakura Town he thought. It looked like a pretty standard town with a few large buildings and shops towards the middle of town and a lot of typical sized houses on the outskirts. The weather wasn't doing anything in particular today either, the sun was out but it wasn't particularly hot, there was also a few clouds in the sky. I need to stop letting the voices in my head have such a large impact on my life he thought to himself. First they give me the name Saisho and now they tell me that I should be in a town like this were it doesn't look like anything at all interesting is going on.

The rest of the lesson was carried out in an uneventful manner. The teacher lectured and everyone took notes. Then the lunch bell rang. Saisho grabbed his bag and went outside onto a grass hill to eat in some semblance of peace. That was until two of the school bullies walked onto the scene.

"Hey you're new around here aren't you" the first of them said.

"Yeah and so what" Saisho replied whilst taking notes of his situation. The two people who came over to him looked relatively tall and built quite well. They had long greasy hair and a gormless look on their faces that screamed that they were stupid.

"We have this rule around here" the other replied. "On a persons first day at this school in order for us to welcome them they have to give us their lunch"

"Oh really" Saisho replied in a tone that sent loud and clear what he thought of the two coming up and trying to tell him such rubbish.

"Yeah really!"

"Okay then" Saisho replied while jumping up off of the ground at the same time jamming his knee into the left bully's stomach. He then followed it down with an elbow to the back of the injured bully's neck. "Well there's one down and one more to go" he said out loud turning to face the second bully who was clearly in shock at seeing his partner dispatched so quickly.

"Oh I really don't see any need to do that, I think you got your message across new kid." came the voice of a newcomer.

"You're friends with him?" the second bully said stuttering as he said it.

"I might be" came the reply.

The second bully quickly picked up his comrade and ran away from the scene as fast as he could. Saisho then rolled his eyes onto the newcomer. He was wearing exactly the same uniform as everyone else and had sort of short blue hair and blue eyes. Upon further inspection he had a pin clip on the collar of his shirt that reminded him of the hair pin that the girl from his class had on and a cross on a chain around his left wrist. "I'm Ishida Ryu" the newcomer said. "named in honour of my Grandfather, and you are."

"Saisho, just Saisho." No point in going on and saying that I was named by voices in my head, he would just think I'm crazy. "Nice to meet you Ishida" Saisho quickly added.

"Yeah nice to meet you too, if you're fed up of sitting on your own I have a bunch of mates who would be happy to have another one join us." Ryu offered.

"Thanks, I've got nothing better to do." Saisho then got up and follow Ishida across the school and into the same classroom that he had been in earlier. Saisho not bothering to take note of the classroom that they were in earlier took the opportunity to do it now. The classroom looked a lot bigger than it seemed to be earlier but was very sterile in the fact there wasn't a lot of art work of decorations of any kind. There was a blue carpet and blue walls and desks that were enough to accommodate 40 people.

"This is our common room" Ryu said to Saisho before turning around to the other people and announcing "Hey guys this is Saisho, a new kid, Ijji and Mekko tried to take his lunch off of him before he floored Ijji in spectacular style, I said he could come and hang around with us if he wanted."

"Yeah we know who he is" the group of people replied.

"What? How?"

"He's in our class you idiot" the girl who Saisho noticed earlier with the orange hair replied whilst still maintaining her I am better than you aura.

Ishida sighed before turning to Saisho. "Here ill intoduce you to these guys properly now then since they all know who you are." he then turned and pointed to the girl who had called him an idiot, who was now sitting in a very proper fashion easting her lunch. "This is Yuki, my little sis. She has a very strong name in our family. Yuki means bow whilst bows are very important in our family." The girl merely nodded at meeting her new acquaintance and Saisho in turn nodded back. "and this is Yasutora Mamoru." Ryu said pointing to the larger man whom Saisho sat next to in class.

"Nice to meet you new kid" Mamoru replied stretching out his arm for a handshake.

"Yeah you too." Saisho replied shaking the larger man's arm.

Ishida then pointed to the final person. "Last but not least is Arisawa Chloe." Saisho then turned and inspected her. She was wearing a short school skirt and shirt similar to all the other girls in the school but unlike the other girls she was toned and you could tell that she worked out. She had short brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hey I'm Chloe, you look like you have done some martial arts" she said after closely inspecting him.

"Yeah I'm a black belt in Shotokan, Akido and Kendo" Saisho replied.

"Hey I'm studying Shotokan myself, we should spar some time."

"No wonder you look pretty fit" replied Saisho. Upon noticing that the rest of the room had started laughing, apart from Yumi anyway, he started to think, then it dawned on him what he had just said. "Hey, I didn't mean it like that" he said quickly.

"Now now Saisho you shouldn't take back a compliment that you have just given to a girl" Chloe exclaimed.

"Yeah... Right..." Saisho replied nervously. Luckily Saisho was saved by the school bell ringing again signalling the end of lunch.

"Shit! Gotta run to ma class fast!" Ryu shouted before dashing out the door. Mamoru merely stood up without saying a word and wondered to his seat at the back. Yuki was already sitting in her seat of course.

Chloe walked towards her seat elbowing Saisho lightly on the way past saying "Hey we should meet up after school." Saisho merely walked to the back and took his seat next to Mamoru.

After the rest of the class had come in the teacher soon followed. "Good afternoon everyone, after lunch today we are going to be studying differentiation..."

After school the gang met up again and walked out of the building took a right and started walking down the street towards the high street. "So guys anywhere you want to hang out after school?" Ryu asked.

"Lets give Saisho a tour of the town" Chloe responded.

"Sorry Chloe but your plans are going to have to wait, can you feel that?"

"Yeah lets get going, sorry Saisho but it would be best if you just went home at this point." Chloe said with a tone of disappointment.

"No chance! This sounds like the most interesting thing that has happened all day" Saisho replied running with them towards whatever that were looking for.

"I'll look after him" Mamoru said in his typical short speeched way.

"Me too" Chloe said as she was running.

"Fine but don't let him get in the way." Yuki said still sticking to her aura.

"Here we are" Ryu exclaimed.

"Oh shit it's one of these things" Saisho said.

"You can see Hollows?" Chloe replied in amazement.

"If that's what you call a hollow then yeah!" Saisho replied pointing at some kind of monster that had a huge white mask covering its face. It was around 20 feet tall and was extremely fat and had a huge gaping hole in the middle of its chest. "Although I normally black out when I see these things."

"You black out?" Chloe again questioned.

"Yeah and I don't know what happens after that but the Hollow or whatever you called it is always gone."

"I like the taste of Shinigami!" the Hollow shouted and then dived towards Chloe. Saisho instinctively pushed Chloe behind him and stood in front of her. He then closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable crash of something that size hitting him or the blackout that occurs when he sees these things...

"I Reject!" Ryu shouted and when Saisho finally opened his eyes there was some kind of orange shield in front of him and on the other side of the shield the hollow was still pushing at it head first trying to get through.

"Sorry Chloe, but this one has annoyed me, you are not going to get a chance to cleanse it." Yuki then stretched her arm out forward and revealed a bracelet similar to that of Ryu's, in a swift movement she closed her eyes and then opened them again and a bow made of blue energy had formed on the end of her wrist. In another swift motion she pulled at the blue string made of energy and released. An arrow made out of some kind of blue energy flew towards the hollow still trying to break through the shield and shattered it to pieces.

As the Hollow disintegrated Mamoru walked forward and exclaimed "looks like all of us have some explaining to do."
