Authors Note: Ok here's the second Chapter.
Ichigo was in shock. His mind hadn't registered what had just happened, was just girl an idiot? She had just sat beside him. No one ever sat beside him, EVER.
The girl was tiny, no more than, about, 4' 9". Her jet-black hair, which fell down to her shoulders in thick locks, contrasted with her pale skin. A persistent bang made it's way down her face. But her eyes, her eyes were the most intriguing part. A deep Amethyst colour. They mesmerised him.
"Ok class, I'm going to go get some paper, BEHAVE. That goes for you to Keigo." Mr Kyoyama said. He walked out the door. Leaving the class to themselves.
Ichigo averted his eyes back to the window.
"Hi, my name is Kuchiki Rukia."
Ichigo cringed at the fake sweetness of the voice. It sounded angelic, yet deadly at the same time.
"I hope that we can be friends," she continued.
"Is this girl for real?"
Ichigo stayed silent, still gazing out the window. Maybe if he kept quiet she would go away.
Rukia couldn't believe this guy. What the hell was wrong with him? Was he deaf?
"Alright, calm down."
She held out a hand. He looked at it for about a second then laughed. It wasn't a normal laugh, he was mocking her.
"What the hell is wrong with you, can't you see I'm trying to be friends?" she hissed.
Ichigo glanced towards her; her sweet voice had disappeared and was now filled with venom.
"Whatever midget."
Suddenly he felt a sharp pain on the side of his leg.
"Ow!"
The damn midget just kicked him.
"What the fuck!" he yelled, causing everyone to pause and stare at him, most had confused looks on their faces but some of them were scared.
Rukia smirked.
"That's what you get for calling me midget, carrot top!"
"Oh no! Are you alright?" gasped Rukia, the fake tone was back in her voice. She heard him mutter under his breath and smirked triumphantly.
"Alright class, I'm back. Settle down." Said the teacher as he came back with a fresh stack of papers.
It was the last lesson of the day and Rukia couldn't wait to get out of class. She never realised that school could be so boring.
"I'm so glad that Nii-sama decided to home school me. School sucks."
Twenty minutes later the bell rang, signalling the end of school. Hundreds of students poured out of the front door. Screaming and shouting about the fact that there were only 2 weeks of school left. Others were talking about how they were going to spend the summer holidays.
Rukia struggled to get out of the door. School had been hard work. But she had made lots of friends.
"Hey Rukia-chan!"
Rukia looked over to the source of the voice, it was Inoue, the girl from her class.
"Oh, hi Inoue," she replied.
"Hey Rukia, you wanna come over to my house tonight. I've invited Tatsuki-chan over as well."
"Oh, I would love to but I have to get home and unpack my things."
It was true, her brother had already unpacked but she had been to busy to unpack. He had told her to come straight home and unpack.
"Oh that's alright, maybe you can come over some other time." said Inoue.
Rukia waved goodbye and started walking towards her house.
"Hey Ichigo!"
Ichigo glanced over to see Keigo coming over to him.
"Fuck off," he snapped.
"Come on don't be mean! So, what happened to you in class today?" he asked.
A vein popped in Ichigo's head. He had tried forgetting about that stupid midget who kicked him.
"Nothing!" he snapped.
"Really? You sounded like you were in real pain."
"It was nothing, seriously. I was just… umm… I got a cramp, yeah that's it I got a cramp for sitting there to long."
Keigo looked at him for a second, but then understanding dawned on him.
"Oh ok. So decided who your date is for the senior prom yet?"
Ichigo sighed; they were back to that again.
"Keigo how many times have I told you that I don't need you to help me find a date."
"Oh come on, don't say that. I mean everyone's got a date by now."
Ichigo raised an eyebrow.
"No way Keigo could have gotten a date."
"Yeah everyone except you," Ichigo said.
"I'm going with Inoue!" exclaimed Keigo.
"Yeah, in your dreams," replied Ichigo.
"She just doesn't know it yet."
"Right…"
"Any way bye Ichigo."
And with that said, Keigo took the next right towards his house. Leaving Ichigo alone once again, or so he thought.
"Oh it's you."
Ichigo turned to find the short, black haired girl walking behind him. Once again, her sweet voice had disappeared.
"What are you stalking me or something?" asked Ichigo, he hadn't expected to her into her again.
"Ok, 1: I don't stalk, 2: No one would ever stalk someone as rude as you."
Her voice was filled with anger.
"Rude? What the hell you're the one that's following me!"
"I'm not following you carrot top, I'm going home!"
"Psh, whatever. Stupid midget."
Once again Ichigo felt a sharp pain in his leg.
"F...Fu…Fuck you midget."
This time, it was a punch in the gut. Ichigo doubled over, as he was knocked breathless. He struggled to get air into his lungs.
"My names not midget, its Rukia, Kuchiki Rukia.
"Well then…" said Ichigo, as he stood up from his previous position on the ground. "Mine's Ichigo, Kurosaki Ichigo."
"Pleased to meet you," she said, her voice back to the high pitched one she used at school.
"What the hell is it with you and that voice of yours?" he asked.
He saw her smirk,
"Fine, whatever. I don't need to use that voice outside of school anyway."
With that said she quickly walked away.
"W…wait." Said Ichigo, as he scurried after her.
"Look who's the stalker now."
"Shut up, there's something that's been bugging me all day," he saw her raise a delicate eyebrow. "Why did you move here at the end of the year? I mean, what's the point?"
Rukia knew that this question was coming, she took a deep breath and said out loud the lines that she had been taught to say.
"It wasn't my decision, my brother runs a big company. He needed to come here to check how some of the smaller offices were doing. He doesn't trust me enough to look after myself so I had to come here to."
She hoped that he would accept the lie, after all. She couldn't tell him why she was really here. Not unless he was the one she was looking for.
"Wow, you must be gutted, leaving all your friends behind."
"It's ok, my brother says it's only temporary anyway."
Why was she telling him this? She wasn't supposed to get to friendly with anyone. But there was something different about Ichigo, something that made her want to talk to him.
"Oh, ok…"
"Is it just me or does he seem disappointed? No, he doesn't even know me."
"Whatever, this is my house." He said, pointing to a house on the right. "So umm… bye…Rukia."
"Yeah, bye strawberry."
"Why you little…"
Rukia smirked in triumph and quickly made her way towards her own house.
As she opened the door to her house she heard footsteps coming down the staircase.
"Looks like Nii-sama's home."
She saw her brother make his way down the staircase. He was wearing an expensive looking suit that fit him perfectly. His hair was still long, and the same colour as hers. His face showed nothing, but Rukia knew that he was glad she had made it through her first day without anything going wrong.
"Good afternoon Rukia," His voice was flat, cold, and emotionless. "Have you found the one yet?"
"No, but I have some suspects."
Rukia reached into her bag and took out photos of 6 students from Karakura High: Ichigo, Tatsuki, Orihime, Chad, Keigo and Ishida.
"These are the pupils who have traces of reiatsu."
Byakuya nodded.
"Have you spoken to all of these students, Rukia?"
"I have spoken to all of them except this one."
She pointed to the picture of Ishida.
"His name is Uryuu Ishida, he has the highest reiatsu out of all of them."
"You don't suppose that it's because of him that the others have traces of reiatsu?"
"No, he does not talk to the other five so it is unlikely that it was him that transferred some of his reiatsu to the others. But I have a feeling that he knows about us."
"Impossible, how could a mere human know about us? Unless… Rukia, have you heard about The Quincy?"
"Yes Nii-sama."
"How much do you know?"
"I have heard that The Quincy used to be shadow riders.
Byakuya nodded.
"Go on."
"Well, one day a shadow rider betrayed us by helping the shadows. There were a lot of people that joined him and they called themselves The Quincy's and they waged a war with us. But the shadows were not foolish enough to risk their own lives so they sent out the Quincy instead. We won the war easily and the Quincy's were sent into exile."
"Yes, they were foolish. Do you know the difference between a Shadow Rider's powers and a Quincy's?"
"No Nii-sama."
"I see, that is disappointing, I expected you to know more. The main, and possibly only difference is that we use different weapons. When they betrayed us, The Quincy changed the form of their weapons; instead of a Zanpaktou they use a Bow and Arrows that are made up of reiatsu. Do you undrstand?"
"Yes Nii-sama, but why are you telling me this?"
"Think Rukia."
Rukia looked down at the picture of Ishida. He was wearing the school uniform, but there was something different, something she had missed. And then she saw it; on his wrist was a bracelet. But not just any bracelet, this one had a cross on it. The cross was blue with intricate patterns down the side. The sign of The Quincy.
"Ishida's a Quincy? But I thought that they were all extinct."
"Apparently there is one left, but he does not pose a threat to us. It is possible that he doesn't know the extent of his powers."
"Yes Nii-sama."
Byakuya glanced at the clock, it read 7:30.
"Now go to your room, you have some unpacking to do."
Rukia sighed in defeat; she had hoped that he had forgotten. But he was Kuchiki Byakuya; he'd rather die than forget something.
"Rukia?"
Byakuya was looking at her, Rukia knew that he was waiting for her to go upstairs.
"Yes Nii-sama."
And with that she made her way upstairs to her room.
