So….

Here you go!

Note: I suck at describing clothes…

"No!" Kurosaki Ichigo yelled as he walked in the opposite direction of a pink haired girl.

"P-Please Ichigo! I'm really hungry!" Moka whined as she chased Ichigo. As if to emphasize her hunger, her stomach growled.

Ichigo stopped in his tracks, causing Moka to stop as well. He slapped a hand to his face, probably wishing he hadn't done that since it stung a little. He grumbled to himself as he whipped around and faced Moka. He gave her a hard look, then sighed. "Alright fine."

Moka giggled and rushed to Ichigo only to be grabbed by the shoulders. "Not hard though, ok?"

Moka nodded rapidly, a blush spreading across her cheeks. "Thank you so much Ichigo!"

The next thing Ichigo knew, he was already being chomped down on by the pink haired vampire. His eyes widened slightly as he yelped, "Ow!"

Moka pulled her head from Ichigo's neck, a faraway look on her face. Her heart beat rapidly as she was filled with sensations of ecstasy and pleasure beyond belief. Truly she could get addicted to Ichigo's blood!

"What did I just say!" Ichigo asked as he waved his free hand angrily while the other covered the gushing wound from his neck.

Moka stuck out her tongue in an embarrassed manner before saying,"Oops! Sorry Ichigo! I can't help that your blood is so delicious!"

"Gah." Ichigo sighed. "Well, we better get to class now."

With a happy nod, Moka linked Ichigo's arm in hers and they headed off towards school!

"Well then everyone," the brown-haired teacher began, "This Academy's goal is to train monsters to adapt to human society… just as I've been saying all along…"

"So that means... starting today you're all going to take up club activities!" The cat-like teacher finished off enthusiastically.

But Ichigo wasn't really paying attention. Since a while ago, he had been feeling a strong reiatsu pulse nearby… almost like a beacon. The reiatsu was as menacing as it was strong, and that made Ichigo feel ill for some reason. Where could've a reiatsu like that come from? What's worse was that he felt that he should know this particular reiatsu signature.

"Understand? Everyone will participate in club activities!" Ichigo just barely heard the teacher… and suddenly his mind was racing. He had to join a club? When did this happen!

"Everyone please visit a lot of groups and decide which one you want to enter." She said before casually reminding everyone to visit the newspaper club since she was the advisor… *hint hint*

---

Moka and Ichigo looked around and were amazed by the mass of students just swarming around them. There were stands, signs, all with one purpose: To try and recruit people into their club. Moka and Ichigo covered their ears when a random student with a microphone began babbling incoherent words… that or he was speaking in a different language.

After the guy stopped talking, courtesy of someone throwing a brick at him, Moka asked, "Hey Ichigo, what club should we join?"

Ichigo simply shrugged. "It doesn't matter as long as we get in one." Ichigo casually replied. But his mind was other than relaxed for now the reiatsu signature was stronger than earlier.

"You're right," Moka noded, "It's too early to decide. Let's visit lots of clubs and see what they have to offer!" She ended excitedly.

As they walked down the crowded hall, Ichigo could hear the prattle of the boys who happened to notice Moka walking by. They all gave tribute to Moka's beauty and cursed Ichigo's name. Ichigo was, to a great extent, getting tired of that. But there wasn't anything he could do about it. He couldn't just randomly go about attacking random students… well… he could, but he shouldn't.

"It's been a long time… Ichigo." Ichigo paused as he felt a cold, dreadful feeling make its way down his spine. He slowly, almost painfully, turned his head. His eyes widened when he noticed who was greeting him. Zaraki Kenpachi!

"Y-Yo…" Ichigo greeted warily. So that's where the reiatsu was coming from…

"Hi! It's nice to meet you, I'm Akashiya Moka!" Moka greeted as she bowed in front of Kenpachi, who sported a devil of a grin. Behind him was a banner over a crudely made stand that said 'Shinigami Club.' Inside the stall, Yachiru was handing out papers… or rather, throwing them at people who happened to get close by.

"Oh? You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend Ichigo." If possible, Kenpachi's grin grew even wider. "It's about time you grew a pair of b—"

"Ah!" Ichigo interrupted, "I don't think we'll be joining this club!" Ichigo said quickly as he hastily turned Moka around and pushed her away from the 'Shinigami Club.'

"See you around Ichigo!" Kenpachi said, his grin never faltering. He could already feel his sword shaking in excitement!

---

With that behind them, Moka and Ichigo continued for their search of the right club. So far, they had found none they wanted. Earlier a creepy man had pulled them over and asked to take photos of Moka… in the nude. Then they ended up at the chemistry club's stand, Ichigo thinking that it might've been somewhat normal. Well, it wasn't… they were offering to make love potions with Moka while completely ignoring Ichigo. Then there was the acupuncture club who, instead of using a dummy to place their needles, actually used a real live person.

All in all there was nothing but weird clubs.

'Don't they have any normal clubs?' Ichigo thought to himself in annoyance.

Then, as if someone from above had heard Ichigo's plea, a voice spoke up. "Hey you, would you like to join the swimming club?"

Ichigo turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a two piece swimsuit. She was, oddly enough, wearing a long sleeve button up shirt over herself… without it actually being buttoned. "I'm the swimming club captain, Ichinose Tamao!" Then as she turned to Ichigo, her face held a lascivious look. "Why don't we swim together?"

Before Ichigo could gather his thoughts, the woman had somehow managed to grab both of his hands and hold them in hers. "The swimming club is all female…" She began as she moved one hand to Ichigo's face, stroking his cheek, "The ladies will end up paying lots of special attention to the boys who join our club!"

Ichigo blinked, a nearly invisible blush present on his cheeks. Well, the club did seem normal. So Ichigo agreed. But when Tamao smiled, a sudden feeling in the pit of his stomach made him regret the decision. He had long learned to pay attention for it had saved him countless of times in the past. Still… he might as well give it a shot, and he most definitely wasn't doing it just to see women in bikinis!

Moka on the other hand, was shocked when she realized that Ichigo had agreed. Didn't he know that water drained vampires of their power? She guessed he didn't since he simply followed Tamao to the swimming pool Moka, with no choice, followed Ichigo.

---

Ichigo looked at Moka out of the corner of his eye. For some reason, she didn't look too happy to be here. She kept eying the water in a particular way. Suddenly, it hit him like one of Neliel's tackles: Moka was afraid of water.

"Do you want to swim?" Ichigo asked the question selectively. Depending on her answer, it would prove if he was right or wrong.

Ichigo saw Moka's eyes widen as she began to fidget nervously. "I-I really don't like swimming Ichigo…" She replied in a sad manner.

Ichigo sighed, guess it couldn't be helped. "All right, let's go." He said to Moka, who gasped in surprise.

"R-Really?"

"That's what I said." Ichigo reiterated.

Moka turned towards the pool before saying, "I thought you wanted to swim?"

Ichigo simply shrugged. "Well it's obvious that you don't like swimming so why join a club where one of us will be miserable?"

Moka turned to Ichigo, a slight blush on her cheeks. Her heart raced, feeling warm from Ichigo's kindness. Her eyes shimmered as they expressed gratefulness to Ichigo… who was feeling slightly creeped out at being stared at so intensely.

But before they could leave, Ichigo was suddenly pulled away. "What are you doing? Hurry up and come with swim with us!" It was Tamao and currently, she was dragging Ichigo away from Moka.

"C-Captain?" Moka yelled before she blushed when they began ripping off Ichigo's clothes. Somehow, without him ever once being naked, they had managed to get him into swimming trunks.

But now, Moka and Tamao were all alone since Ichigo had been dragged towards the pool. Tamao walked to Moka, forcing a strong presence upon Moka, slightly frightening the girl. "Hm? So you're the rumored Akashiya Moka-san! Rumors say that you're also a vampire, I wonder if it's true?"

Though Tamao was smiling, it lacked any real warmth and her eyes shined cruelly as she said, "Well… anyway, this is the swimming club. If you have no intention of swimming, why don't you leave?"

Shocked and hurt, Moka left the swimming pool, but not the premises.

---

Moka stared at Ichigo and Tamao. It really did look like they were having fun… that is until Ichigo suddenly shoved Tamao and got out of the swimming pool. Moka noticed that Ichigo was walking towards her with an angry scowl on his face. "Come on Moka," He said, "Let's get out of here."

If there was one thing Ichigo did not like, it was doing something against his will. It really ticked him off. Before he had approached Moka, he had picked off his clothes from the floor and grabbed his backpack. Now, he was leaving the premises with Moka in tow when suddenly a loud scream pierced the air.

Ichigo turned his head around and the scene before him made his eyes widen in horror. One of the boys had been bitten by two girls… and his youth seemed to drain for him. Before Ichigo's very eyes the boy turned into an old man. In response, Ichigo dropped his clothes and slung his backpack over his shoulders and readied himself into a battle stance. "What are you doing?" Ichigo questioned angrily.

Tamao simply gave a calm smile as she said, "And just when I had finally chased off that bothersome Moka-san." Suddenly, her hand turned into a webbed claw as a strong reiatsu seemed to emanate from her. "Isn't the fun just beginning?"

Then she jumped out of the water, revealing a long fish-like tail before crashing into the water. As she did so, she splashed a large amount of water towards Ichigo and Moka. The former wasn't affected, but Moka was having problems. She fell to her knees as she felt her energy being sapped away by the water's purification effects.

"Ack!" She screamed as lances of electricity flew from her body. Ichigo turned around and upon noticing Moka, leaned down and asked, "Are you alright Moka?"

Ichigo flinched when one of the arcs of electricity hit him. Was the water… draining her of her energy? If that was the case, then he needed to get her out of here and fast! But then the multiple screams of other people made Ichigo hesitate. He needed to save them too.

"Need help?" Ichigo looked up and saw Kurumu trying to help Moka up. Ichigo saw Kurumu look at him, before saying, "Don't you know? Vampires can't go into the water! Because water drains a vampire's energy!"

Ichigo really wanted to slap himself. He really should've listened to that feeling in the pit of his stomach. But now was not the time, now he had to go and rescue the unlucky men who were being drained of their youth. Finally, for the first time, he actually took Zangetsu out of his backpack and walked towards the edge of the swimming pool.

"Stop what you're doing!" Ichigo yelled at the mermaids.

"Oh?" Tamao asked disbelievingly. "And who's going to stop me? You Ichigo?" Suddenly, she snapped her fingers and all the mermaids headed straight towards Ichigo.

Ichigo readied himself as Tamao kept talking, "I don't know how strong you are, but in our territory, a mermaid will always be victorious! If you're going to beg for your life, now's the time!" She cackled maniacally as her mouth turned into a fish's mouth, but with dagger-like teeth set in three different rows. Talk about having a big mouth…

Ichigo jumped into the air as the mermaids smashed their fists onto the concrete, shattering it. Tamao looked up and grinned wickedly as she triumphantly yelled, "You're too slow! Though you talk tough, it seems you're totally weak!"

With tremendous force, she launched herself into the air towards Ichigo. "You're a great target in mid-air!" She yelled, "Now DIE!"

Then, to everyone's great surprise and disbelief, Ichigo simply stood… on the air. Just as Tamao was about to get him, he pivoted and grabbed her by her hair. "Aurggh! Let go of me! I'll kill youl!" Tamao screamed as she thrashed around in Ichigo's grip.

Noticing their leader was in trouble, the rest of the mermaids leaped into the air to try and get Ichigo. Ichigo simply stood there and, using the dull side of Zangetsu, simply swatted them away. Each one could only take one hit before plummeting back to the pool, dazed and unconscious.

The leader stared in awe at the scene below her. Never had she seen such an incredible display of power! All her mermaids were defeated so easily! Suddenly, a pressure surrounded her entire body, nearly suffocating her. She felt like screaming since the force, though noiseless, hurt her ears. Her body writhed in pain until the force stopped a few seconds later.

"Don't let me catch you pulling another stunt like this again." Ichigo said in a serious tone. Tamao nodded before she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head, rendering her unconscious. Ichigo slowly descended and lay her down on the concrete.

"That was amazing!" Kurumu yelled ecstatically as she pressed Ichigo's face into her chest. "I've never seen anything like it! How did you do it?"

Ichigo managed to pull Kurumu away from him, though it did take a bit of strength. Then, he took her by the shoulders and looked her in the eye before saying, "Where's Moka?"

Kurumu was a bit surprised, and a bit jealous that he had asked for Moka. But she still answered him, "She over there in one of the chairs."

Ichigo nodded and headed towards Moka with Kurumu in tow. As he approached, he noticed Moka looking at him tiredly, and he couldn't help but feel this was partially his fault. "Are you alright Moka?" Ichigo asked.

Moka gave a small smile as she replied, "Yes, I am Ichigo. I'd like to thank you actually."

With a confused look on his face, Ichigo asked, "Thank me? How come?"

"Well, you could've just continued swimming, but you didn't. And earlier you had noticed that I was uncomfortable around water and offered to leave the pool. Even though you didn't know vampires were weak against water, you were kind enough to take my feelings into account." Her smile grew slightly wider as her eyes seemed to brighten as she looked at Ichigo.

Ichigo scratched the back of his head as he gave a sigh. "Well… you're welcome?" He figured that was the only thing he could really say at the moment.

Moka nodded before she said, "I think it's time to go back to the dorms."

"Yea, I guess. Do you need some help Moka?" Ichigo offered.

Kurumu simply watched the exchange in silence. She really wanted to butt in, but she knew it would be rude to do that, especially in Moka's especially weakened form. Though she was jealous, at the same time, her heart grew for Ichigo. Not only was he strong, but he was kind and gentle despite his mean looking face. He really did care about his friends. She gave a small smile as she decided to speak up, "I'll take Moka back to the dorms Ichigo."

Ichigo turned to face Kurumu and blinked. "Really? Are you sure?" He asked.

Kurumu nodded happily. "Yes, I'd be happy too"

Ichigo simply shrugged. "Alright, guess I'll see you two later then."

"Bye Ichigo!" Both Kurumu and Moka said. Then they turned to look at each other, sparks flying between their eyes. But then they smiled as Kurumu helped Moka up and walked her back to the dorms.

The next morning, Ichigo walked down the quiet hallway. Somehow, everything had been already cleared up despite the fact that it was jam packed the other day. And now, Ichigo was still trying to figure out which club to join. With all the action that went on yesterday, they didn't finish their search. Suddenly, a voice spoke up from behind Ichigo, causing him to turn around.

"Just the person I wanted to talk to!" It was Nekonome-sensei and she was just as perky as ever. "Have you decided which club you're going to join? The only ones who haven't decided yet are you and Moka-san!"

Ichigo could only grin sheepishly as he replied, "Ah, no. We haven't joined any club yet."

The two tufts of hair on Nekonome's head began wiggling as her smile widened. Ichigo couldn't help but wonder if those things were ears. "Splendid! Then I wonder if you both wouldn't join my club… the newspaper club!"

'Well, that does sound normal. And I wouldn't have to worry about the teacher trying to eat me… I hope…' Ichigo thought.

"Well, I'd like to join. But I don't know about M—"

"That's great! I'll join that club!" Ichigo turned around and noticed a Moka brimming with happiness walking towards them. Ichigo couldn't help but give a small smile at her energy. It seemed she was feeling much better.

Then out of nowhere, Nekonome pulled out a banner that read 'Welcome to the Newspaper Club' and said, "Then you two have both decided on the newspaper club right?"

But before they could say anything, Kurumu came out of nowhere and yelled, "I'm also joining!"

"Kurmu?" Moka and Ichigo asked at the same time. Then they both turned to look at each other… and blinked. Looks like they were in the newspaper club now.

Kinda short, but the actual managa chapter is kinda short too. Plus I decided to change things up just a little. I just realized that I'm not actually following the manga accordingly… oh well.
