Okay, the chapters are getting longer. To all those who've faved, followed or reviewed, thank you!
Ichigo knew it. The poor teachers were sick and tired of Byakuya. That guy was simply too knowledgeable. Whenever a teacher would make a mistake, however minor, or omit something, Byakuya would correct in that sexy voice of his. Whenever the teacher asked questions, Byakuya gave an answer that made the teachers themselves feel inadequate. All this, of course, made the girls (and some guys) like him even more. Heck, Ichigo had even overheard a pair of girls giggling about which flavored condom they'd make Byakuya wear during sex. They were amongst many other hopefuls, but Byakuya just didn't notice anyone. Even when there were a good fifteen notes shoved in his locker asking him to meet after school, he dismissed them as pranks, however much Ichigo tried to explain they weren't. Currently, it was the last period, and the bell just rang. Immediately, people started getting up and heading out with their books and bags, a few people shooting glances in Byakuya's direction.
"Yo." Ichigo heard someone say and turned around to see Renji standing there with a grin.
"Hey, asshole." Ichigo replied.
"You hurt my soul with your mean name-calling!" Renji said, clutching his chest.
"Yeah, yeah, let's go already. We don't want the teacher thinking we have detention." Ichigo reasoned.
"Human girls have overactive hormones." Renji stated, ignoring Ichigo's previous comment.
"That's sudden. Someone flirted with you?" Ichigo questioned, raising a brow.
"Yeah, but they flirt with whoever they can get their hands on. But man, did ya see what they were doing around Captain and you?"
"Yeah, they were swarming- wait, what? Me?" Ichigo started but realized that Renji had included him as well.
"They kept on shooting glances at you. Way to go, dude!"
"You just have an overactive imagination."
"No, you just happen to be especially thick headed. It's your frown that keeps them from approaching you, but a lot of them like you." Renji said, shaking his head. Ichigo just frowned further and headed out, Renji chasing after him. Byakuya was already gone, he was probably waiting outside for them.
"Where's Rangiku-san, Ikkaku-san and Yumichika-san?" Ichigo said, changing the topic.
"Rangiku-san is out breaking hearts, and I dunno 'bout the other two. Probably making out in the storage room." Renji said nonchalantly.
"Huh? They're dating?" Ichigo asked, confused.
"Who knows?" Renji said vaguely, shrugging. The approached the lockers.
"Oh, hey, Captain!" Renji noticed Byakuya standing by his locker, with some girl animatedly talking to him. He looked up when he heard Renji, and seemed relieved, though his expression was unchanged. The girl looked up and down at both Renji and Ichigo, decided that the sexiness of them three combined was too much for her, so smiled and gracefully withdrew.
"How was your first day?" Ichigo asked Byakuya.
"The teachers here are painfully incompetent and ill-versed." Came the reply. Renji chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure they love you too" Ichigo said with amusement.
"Maybe you'll adjust a bit better tomorrow, Captain?" Renji said helpfully.
"I shall not be coming here as a student tomorrow anymore." Byakuya announced.
"What'll you be? A janitor? Oh, you can be a part of the cafeteria staff." Ichigo said sarcastically.
"You'll see." Byakuya said and whisked around to leave, leaving Ichigo and Renji to gape after him.
"Oooooh, you'll see, will you?" Renji said and winked at him. Ichigo punched him in the arm and followed Byakuya. They caught up to Byakuya at the school gate, and Ichigo was about to call out to him, when he saw a woman standing there with him, talking to him. She was dark-skinned, with long purple hair. They were at a distance away, but they could make out that Byakuya was irritated. His expression was as unchanged as ever, but Ichigo and Renji knew better. Ichigo decided to put Byakuya's misery to an end and walked over to him. As soon as Yoruichi saw them she grinned widely.
"Hey, Renji, I was waiting for you! Kisuke's told me to escort you to the shop in case you try to run away~" She said, shaking her head a little at Renji's predicament.
"Huh? Why'll he try to run?" Ichigo asked, confused.
"Kisuke'd asked him to help with the restocking, cleaning and remodeling. And for some reason, this idiot agreed." She said, feeling pity for Renji, who was looking around for escape.
"Renji can get extremely thick headed at times" Said Byakuya. Renji whined.
"Aw, come on, those were the conditions for letting me stay! Besides, me, Captain and Ichigo are going to the arcade, aren't we? So I'll not be free, please inform Urahara-san of my deepest apologies" He said, in a last desperate bid for freedom.
"Ha ha, no. You're coming with me~ And by the way, nice talking to you, Byakuya-bo!" She said airily, grabbed a very desperate Renji, winked at Byakuya (who gave a small frown in return) and left, leaving Byakuya and Ichigo standing.
"So...let's head on home?" Ichigo said, uncertainly. Byakuya nodded and they headed off in comfortable silence.
"By the way, have you ever been to the arcade?" Ichigo asked Byakuya suddenly.
"I cannot say I have, but I believe I've heard enough about it from Renji to make up for that" Came Byakuya's slightly amused reply. When Renji got excited over something, he just wouldn't stop talking about it. Like that time with those god awful glasses. Byakuya resisted the urge to shudder from just thinking about it.
"That dumbass talks too much, doesn't he? I don't even know how you put up with him everyday..." Ichigo said exasperatedly.
"I'll let you in on a secret, Ichigo" Byakuya said, beckoning him to come closer. The use of his first name made Ichigo blush a little. Nonetheless, Ichigo moved closer to listen to the big secret to dealing with Renji.
"I believe you have heard of these weird contraptions known as earphones...? They are particularly effective in blocking out inane chatter." Byakuya said with a serious face. Ichigo contemplated his words for a second, realized that it was a joke, and laughed.
"Good one!" He said while smiling.
"It wasn't a joke" Byakuya said. Ichigo looked youthful when he was smiling. But the frown was his trademark, and it suited him.
"I'm sure it wasn't. Now, about that arcade thing, wanna go?" Ichigo asked hopefully. Byakuya just couldn't say no to that face.
"Okay." He agreed. It would be a new experience, at the very least.
"Cool. So, what'd you think of the human world so far?" Ichigo probed further. He was in a chatty mood. From what his friends had said, Byakuya was under the impression that he just frowned and walked in silence listening to the others.
"It is...unique. It's filled with various types of people. And some subpar teachers. But there is a lot to do in this world. Soul Society, I'm afraid, does not have these forms of entertainment. No wonder Rukia and Renji love this world so much." Byakuya replied honestly.
"You like it here?" Ichigo asked him, hoping he did. It would suck if he hated it here and didn't want to come back again.
"Yes" Byakuya replied, and he meant it.
"I'm glad. I was afraid you wouldn't be enjoying yourself here." Ichigo said and smiled warmly.
"I probably would have, either way. After all, you live here, Ichigo." Byakuya said very frankly. Ichigo couldn't resist and gave him a kiss on the lips, nothing much, just a quick peck.
"That's for being too adorable." He grinned.
"Adorable, am I?" Byakuya said, and groped Ichigo's ass. Ichigo's jaw hung open when he realized what Byakuya'd done in the street in broad daylight. Byakuya simply smirked and walked forward.
"Your sisters must be waiting." He said simply, pretending like he hadn't groped someone just five seconds ago. Ichigo frowned at him, and then grinned in amusement.
"Just you see, I'm gonna moon you in the middle of the street one of these days" He threatened with a big grin.
"Exposing your behind to me, defenseless, might not be the best thing to do in the middle of the street...I'd suggest you wait till we're in the bedroom."
"We're home!" Yelled Ichigo, entering his house with Byakuya in tow.
"Oh, welcome back!" Yelled back Yuzu. Karin was seated on the sofa, animatedly talking to someone on the phone. She mouthed a 'yo' at her brother and Byakuya.
"Toshiro again, huh? No wonder goat face was complaining about the ridiculously high phone bill." Ichigo chuckled. Giggling sounds could be heard from Yuzu's direction as well. Karin scowled at her amused brother, a hint of a blush on her face.
"Captain Hitsugaya is..." Byakuya trailed off.
"Her boyfriend, but they deny it." Ichigo completed the sentence.
"He is not! And besides, how'd you know Toshiro?" Karin said indignantly and directed the question at Byakuya.
"We...were classmates." Byakuya said. Ichigo rolled his eyes at the lame answer.
"Haha yeah, of course. Come on, Byakuya-san, be honest." Karin did not buy his excuse either.
"Do you know Matsumoto Rangiku?" Byakuya asked her, hoping she did. Finding an explanation would be easier.
"Of course." Karin said.
"I happen to be an acquaintance of hers, and she introduced me to Hitsugaya." Byakuya said, hoping it sounded legitimate enough.
"Oh. Okay then." Karin said, albeit a bit suspicious.
"Besides, Karin, where's Goat Face?" Ichigo changed the topic.
"Gone out. Emergency meeting." She said, looking relieved to be free from the maniac she and her siblings had to call a father.
"Oh. So you were planning to slip out with Toshiro, huh?" Ichigo teased her.
"Ichi-nii! You're getting as bad as Goat Face!" Karin protested. Ichigo threw his hands up and muttered 'sorry' amusedly. Yuzu giggled from the kitchen. Even without Isshin, the house wasn't one very peaceful. It was lively. Byakuya wished he could say the same about his manor. It was bustling with servants, but apart from them it was only him and Rukia. No wonder she liked Ichigo's place so much.
"Hey, Karin, remember that arcade around the corner? Is it still closed for repairs?" Ichigo suddenly asked her. She seemed relieved that they'd departed from the topic of Toshiro.
"Sadly, yeah. Probably not for long though. Why? You wanna go?" She questioned him back.
"Well, Byakuya here has never been to an arcade but I was hoping we could change that" Ichigo explained. Karin's eyes went wide and she looked at Byakuya.
"Poor Byakuya-San! You're missing out on life. Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we all play on my PS4?" She said, very sympathetically.
"Oh, good idea. Yuzu, wanna play a video game?" Ichigo said, calling Yuzu, who was in the kitchen, to join them.
"No, onii-chan, I'm busy!" She called back. She didn't really like video games either way.
"Too bad. That makes the three of us then?" Ichigo said, looking around at the other two.
"Yep. And get prepared to get your ass handed to you, Ichi-nii!" Karin told her brother thumping her chest in confidence.
"Huh, we'll see. Don't get so sure of yourself!" Her brother warned her back, confident in his gaming skills.
Both got their ass handed to them by Byakuya.
"I still don't get it. How the hell can a first-timer be so good?" Ichigo demanded, grumbling. It was dinner time, and they were all seated at the table.
"People have inborn talents, Byakuya-san's just happened to be gaming." Karin said. She was more accepting of Byakuya's gaming skills than her brother.
"Daddy's very happy that his sons and daughter enjoyed themselves!" Isshin said tearily. He, as usual, was ignored.
"What was the final score?" Yuzu asked curiously. Ichigo frowned and Karin slumped on the table.
"Me:2250, Karin:2247, Byakuya:23298" Ichigo said. Yuzu smiled sympathetically at them.
"Oh my second son! You've demolished your siblings at gaming!" Isshin said, hugging an extremely unwilling Byakuya.
"Oi, Goat Face, you're scratching the poor guy with your bristly beard."
"How could you say that to daddy, Ichigo? Here, touch, daddy's beard is as soft as velvet!"
"I'd rather not, thank you."
"It is, surprisingly, rather soft" Byakuya said.
"See? My second son understands me!"
"But Goat Face is a rather suitable name for you." Byakuya said further. Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu laughed while Isshin whined, got up and clutched at a poster of his wife.
"Masakiiiiiiii, my own kids are betraying me..."
"Since when was Byakuya your own kid?" Ichigo asked exasperatedly.
"Leave him, Ichi-nii. He's on a downward spiral to insanity, and it's too late to help."
"You're right. I just hope that he doesn't get carted off to some asylum."
"An asylum might be more suitable for him."
"My sweet kids, what are you discussing?" Isshin asked swooping down on them.
"Nothing, just talking about this nice place where you should go spend a night at."
"Your daddy's heart is warmed at your thoughtfulness!"
"Yeah, yeah." Karin said, suppressing a snicker.
Ichigo was sleeping, sleeping in cool place filled with blue water. Suddenly there was a disturbance in the water, and a beautiful creature appeared in front of him. He was supposed to be asleep, but for some reason he could see the creature vividly.
"Wake up." It said. Ichigo slowly opened his eyes. The water and the fairy disappeared, and what was in front of him was Byakuya's face, telling him to wake up. Ichigo suddenly felt a wave of something, he couldn't exactly describe the feeling, wash over him, and grabbed the back of Byakuya's head and kissed him. Byakuya's eyes widened, but he let Ichigo kiss him. Ichigo slipped his tongue in Byakuya's mouth, their tongues dancing with each other for a while. Finally, Ichigo let go.
"Mornin" He said and winked, only to yawn widely.
"Sexual harassment right in the morning, Kurosaki Ichigo?" Byakuya questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Says the guy who groped me only yesterday." Ichigo retorted.
"Hey, Byakuya, where's your uniform?" He asked, seeing that Byakuya was wearing a formal suit instead of the school uniform.
"I am not a student anymore" Was Byakuya's reply.
"Oh yeah, you did say that. But last I checked, janitors or cafeteria staff don't wear suits."
"I hope you did not become afflicted with dementia overnight. I'm your teacher starting today."
"Oh. WAIT, WHAT THE-? HOW THE-?"
"Incoherence now? Definitely dementia. You have my deepest condolences."
"Shut up! But a teacher? Seriously? I mean, you were a student just yesterday! I'm pretty sure they'll all remember that."
"I have my ways of altering that. Besides, I felt sorry for the students, having such incompetent teachers."
"Dude, you-"
"Do not 'dude' me, and get up. Your father said that he'd come wake you up in five minutes."
"Thanks for the heads up. But man, you as a teacher..."
"Kurosaki Ichigo, get up before I give you detention."
"You can't, I'm not at school yet!"
"Oh, I can't?" The evil smirk on Byakuya's handsome face made Ichigo get up.
"Damn you." He muttered, trooping into the bathroom.
"Detention, today, after school." Byakuya
"Fuck you!" Ichigo exclaimed.
"You too." Byakuya smirked again.
"Good morning, I'm your substitute teacher for English, Byakuya Kuchiki. Nice to meet you." Byakuya said formally. Already a few girls could be heard sighing contentedly.
"Um, Kuchiki-sensei, for how long will you be on substitution?" A girl questioned.
"I cannot say. However, I will teach you to the best of my abilities."
"Hey, sensei, how long have you been teaching?" A guy asked next.
"This is my first time." Byakuya said coolly. Some people 'oohed'.
"Say, sensei, you single?" Ichigo asked teasingly, wondering what Byakuya's reply would be.
"That" said Byakuya, "is none of your business. And now, I'd like to start class. Take out your books. We shall study Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. Open page 37."
"Holy shit, the new sub teaches awesome!" Ichigo heard a guy sitting five seats away from him exclaim after Byakuya'd left.
"I know right? Besides, he's so dreamy..." A girl replied to the guy.
"Huh? What's he got that I don't?" The guy demanded.
"Gee, I don't know. Probably good looks, a nice voice and a great personality?" The girl replied sarcastically. The guy said something indignant in response, but Ichigo was too busy mentally cracking up to hear.
"So, Kuchiki-sensei is probably the best english teacher we've ever had, huh?" Renji said slipping up to Ichigo to chat.
"Whaddya mean by 'we'? It's your second day here!"
"Come on, man! Remember, I stopped by that day with Captain Hitsugaya, Rangiku-san, and the others?"
"Wow did you? I had no idea! Attending school for three days, that's a huge deal. Good for you." Ichigo said with biting sarcasm, rolling his eyes as well.
"Okay, okay, I get it. But whatever, English class was awesome."
"Gotta agree with you on that one."
"I'm surprised he didn't give you detention..."
"He kinda did, in the morning, but I don't know whether it counts or not"
"Oh...well, make sure to lock the classroom door, ya don't want anyone walking in on you."
And at this, Ichigo kicked him away, in good time because they were already late for the next class.
It was hometime, and Ichigo was unsure about whether to go home or wait for Byakuya. He decided to go ask the raven head just to be sure. He reached the staff room and knocked before entering. He entered to see Byakuya engaged in conversation with an elderly teacher, and for once he actually seemed to be enjoying it. Ichigo cleared his throat, trying to attract his attention, and was successful.
"Uh, Sensei, should I wait or...?" He questioned, hoping Byakuya would understand.
"Wait in the classroom." Byakuya replied seriously. Ichigo nodded and exited the room. He walked over to his now empty classroom, and waited for Byakuya to come.
Okay, so now my autocorrect has decided that Renji's name is Pfennig, whatever that is...I mean, I was beta reading the chapter and it was like:-
"Yo." Ichigo heard someone say and turned around to see Pfennig standing there with a grin.
"Hey, asshole." Ichigo replied.
"You hurt my soul with your mean name-calling!" Pfennig said, clutching his chest.
See? Anyways, show some love for Ichigo, Byakuya and Pfennig, and review, fav and follow!
And again, I make my stories up as I go, so suggestions are welcome!
