CHAPTER 8

'THE CLUB'

Ichigo was everything but happy. It had been disastrous. Nel had found Hades and it didn't take long for them to become playmates. That included playing with their power. The result? Many new holes in the school's wall through fire breathing and ceros that just had happen to go the wrong way. Ichigo tried to think positive. At least Hades and Nel wouldn't feel lonely anymore with the result that they would leave him in peace. Even thought the school now possessed many new holes, the students all were blissful unaware. How, even Ichigo himself didn't know but like the saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Still Ichigo sometimes wished he could just throw her back into hell, the only thing that held him back from doing such was that she knew how to open a garganta, meaning that she could just come back whenever she wanted.

He needed to sigh when he remembered what she had caused with her actions. He could almost never say no to her since she reminded him of his sisters and so whenever she wanted to be cuddled he cuddled her. Now through him baby-sitter her and through her running around and cuddling with him, all the girls that he had been scared away with his scowl had decided to come back, since he wasn't really as scary as they thought. They had even formed a club that what he called 'stalked' him. They were really scary. Every non member who was a girl and came within a ten meter radius they attacked her while he wasn't looking her and later claimed that it was for the greater good. Later on most of the victims (the attacked girls) would also join his so called 'club' (stalkers) because they understood their motivation and wanted to join in helping. They claimed him to be common property and that no one was allowed to try and take him for herself/himself alone (Yes after some time even guys started to join, which creeped Ichigo out to no end). Their rules also stated that he was to be split among them fairly.

At first it was harmless and Ichigo let it be, but the more followers the club possessed and they grew steadily, the scarier they became. They started to go crazy and started to stalk him and even try to touch him. It got so bad that he even needed to use Nel and Hades as a distraction for him to be able to escape. The worse was that it hadn't taken them very long to be able to grow to this high. It had been a day and a half since Nel had arrived. It was when he had just escaped another 'stalker' crowd that he met Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Ron had started to smile, when he noticed Ichigo and said: "How is life going, "king of hell"?" Many of the male population still hadn't noticed that the 'club' had been created and so didn't know that he was trying to hide whenever possible. Still Ichigo was thankful that they had accepted his position so readily and hadn't changed their behavior toward him.

Ichigo didn't even have time to answer when he heard footsteps approaching. He almost flinched before he told the trio:"Cover me!" They did so even thought they were a bit surprised at his sudden command. Ichigo had looked a bit pale when he had said that. What could make a being like him scared, they asked themselves. They would soon get their answer. At least ten girls suddenly stormed past them looking like rabid dogs looking for their meal. They stared at the rapidly disappearing group of girls in complete bafflement before turning to the still hiding Ichigo.

"Are they away?" Ichigo finally asked when he noticed that the trio was looking at them.

"Yes they are, but Ichigo what did you do?" asked Hermione thinking that he had angered these girls.

"What did I do?! I didn't do anything. I just don't understand woman and to be real I also don't want to understand them. One day they are scared of me and my looks and the next just after Nel came they start to go crazy and form a club. At first I think nothing about it and thought to let it be, but suddenly they start to create dumb rules like I was common property and they need to divide me fairly among them. They even attack non members when they come near me. It even got so bad that they started to try to touch me and since through the contract that stated that I need to protect Hogwarts and its students I can't even get rid of them." They all stared at him in bewilderment and bemusement since the 'king of hell' had trouble with girls.

"Wicked, I want a club too!" Ichigo stared at him like he had just lost even his last brain cells.

"No you don't, they try to get your attention with just about everything. One of them jumped before my feet and I almost stepped on her. She even seemed to be disappointed when I didn't. After that the others suddenly started to try it as well and soon I couldn't take a step without trying to avoid girl jumping before them. Who in their right minds would jump, before a person just to get stepped on so one can get his attention?"

"Ok, that is extreme!" Harry said with wide eyes.

"Yes and that isn't even all. This morning when I woke up and opened the doors a packet lay right before it. I opened out of curiosity. It contained envelops with letters. One of this envelops contained hair and the letter that was also within it stated that with the hair I would be able to always think about her, even thought I don't even know that person. Another letter was written in blood. It said: 'You may not know me, but I love you Ichigo!' It wouldn't be so bad if I was able to do something about it but since I am not allowed it's so frightening scary. They even started to chase me around. One of them even tried to creep into the bathroom while I was bathing!" Ichigo shuddered remembering the morning. He had just opened the door with a towel around his midsections when he suddenly found a girl hungrily staring at him, she had even reached out. Ichigo didn't know why, but she would have probably tried to touch him or worse, tried to pull his towel off of him. He hadn't wanted to find out and had quickly shunpoed back to his room.

"Can't you do something about it Ichigo? Like saying you don't want a club and you don't like it?" Hermione asked a bit worried, thinking that the girls were going too far.

"I tried to tell them to stop, I even tried to use fake tears and acted like I broke down from stress they put on me, but they still followed me around, even worse than before. They are like motes that go to the light."

Suddenly they heard a scream: "Ichigo-sama, where are you?" at that Ichigo cringed and added:

"Oh and they all went through a crash course for Japanese in the one night since Nel came. They still can't really talk it or understand, but they started to use suffixes at the end of my name, I think I overheard one of the girls that they wanted to impress me with that."

The trio knew that this was worrisome but they just couldn't help themselves. The great "king of hell", running away from screaming girls and even trying the old tricks with tears to get rid of them. That was a sight to behold. If looks could kill, the trio would have been long dead. When they finally got their bearings back together, they tried to think of a plan to get rid of them all together, but they soon found out that it wouldn't be that easy. It was like trying to make a Buddhist believe in another god. So they soon decided that it would probably be impossible.

The first time he was happy when sitting in class was now. His 'club' couldn't follow him here and couldn't act like they wanted to. He was now in the "Flying" class and having told Madam Hooch that he had never learned how to fly on a broom he was personally coached by Madam Hooch the basics while the others were trying moves out. He was told that he needed to say 'up' and the broom should jump into his hand. When he did, the broom not only flew into his hands, but with such force, that he was sure that bruise would soon start to become visible on his hand. Normally it wouldn't really have hurt him, but since he was in a human form it did. He was then told that he needed to sit on the broom and wish for it to fly. As he did the broom reacted instantly and Ichigo flew sky high into the air. He wished for it to move down again and so it did and he slowly moved down. It was then that the teacher had told him to try things on his own and so he did. It didn't take him long to notice that the broom toke a bit of his reiatsu, which the broom then used to fly and move like he wished it to. That also meant the more reiatsu Ichigo put into it, the faster it moved. The others could only watch as he moved at a speed that a beginners broom shouldn't be able to reach. He made moves that even some quidditch players weren't able to pull. He was pretty satisfied with his skills at the end of the class and Madam Hooch patted him on his back, telling him that she had never seen someone learn to fly on his broom so quickly. A small smile formed on his lips.

The smile soon disappeared and was replaced by his normal scowl when Ichigo noticed something shocking and frightening at least for him. He swore. The 'club' members were surely duplicating, their numbers couldn't grow that quickly, right? It had been the end of their last class when the trio and he were suddenly surrounded by the whole club. In under a second everything became blurry and the girls had tackled Ichigo to the ground. One of them tried to pull his shirt off, but suddenly had a nosebleed and fainted. Other girls quickly followed shortly after, but those that fainted were quickly carried away by others and replaced. Ones they had successfully pulled of his shirt, their eyes hungrily went towards his pants. One girl went for his pants and opened his zip. The trio, who was being held back by some members that were also hungrily watching, was shocked to put it mildly. They had never expected that the 'club' to go so far in just two day. They struggled and tried to get out of the grip from the members but stopped when they noticed Ichigo's expression, The girls also slowly noticed his dark expression and slowly released him and backed away, apparently scared that if they moved too quickly, the angry animal would pounce seeing them as his next meal. His eyes had turned golden and the white around them had turned to black. When he talked they all couldn't stop themselves from shivering.

"Enough is enough. You had you fun and now I want you to back off and disappear, before I do something that I might later regret! This time it went too far. I cannot tolerate it anymore. I don't have a problem with you creating the 'club', but if you disturb me one more time you will surely regret ever knowing me!DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"

All the girls shuddered before nodded and quickly moving away. Ichigo couldn't believe that he had needed to use his hollow's voice and eyes to get rid of them, but was glad that at least now they surely wouldn't bother him anymore. The voice hadn't sound even remotely friendly. It had sounded threatening and the girls had heard it. They had gone too far.

Ichigo stood up and pulled his zip back up. Then he looked for his shirt. Where was it? Even after thoroughly searching for it, even with the trio's help they couldn't find it. Ichigo shuddered when he thought what might have happened to it.

One girl sighted happily holding the white shirt close to her nose, smelling the scent that Ichigo had left behind. She had taken a little present with her before running away.

The next day proved that Ichigo's method had worked. No one followed him around anymore. That didn't mean that he didn't get stares when he wasn't looking, but they seemed to have finally learned that Ichigo didn't seem to like the fact of being followed or unclothed. His mood had been good till he suddenly felt someone his shoulder. He turned and to his relieve, even thought it was a small one, there stood a boy, looking at him questionable.

His mood worsened when the boy asked him:

"Is it true that you are death itself and can grant wishes, when you are happy?"

"No, I am not happy and…" He wanted to say more, but the boy had already misunderstood him and believed that the rumors where true. Ichigo knew that when the boy's eyes suddenly widened and he ran away screaming that the rumors were true before Ichigo could end his sentences. When he met with the trio a crowd had already formed around him.

"Ichigo do you have a 'club' again or why are these people all looking at you like that?" Harry finally asked, Ichigo had just ignored them till then.

Before Ichigo could answer the question Hermione said: "It's probably because of the rumors that have started to spread. It is said that Ichigo is death itself and can grant wishes, when he is in a good mood and wants to. These people probably believe that rumor or want to know, if it is true."

"Wicked, first you have the 'club' and now you have followers that believe that you are a god, even if it is somehow…"

At that Hermione, Harry and Ichigo clapped their hands to his mouth and Hermione hissed: "Ron for one time shut your mouth and don't try to use it. It won't be good when they start to believe that rumor. Ichigo has enough trouble as it is."

At that Harry and Ichigo just nodded. It was hard to ignore the stares from the other people, but they could manage. They needed to go to "Muggle Studies" today. Ichigo didn't want to go. Only the name already gave him a headache. It almost sounded like non wizards were another species and needed to be studied, which wasn't true, the only thing that was different was their inability to use magic, but Ichigo had already known that wizards tried to tell themselves that they were superior. It was disgusting and Ichigo needed to remember the shinigami and hollow relationship when thinking about it, but at least there, they had a reason, since they were enemies, here there was none. When the class ended he was the quickest to leave. Not just because he hated the class, even "History of Magic" was more exciting, but because he felt a familiar spiritual pressure. It couldn't be but still he hoped and so he almost used shunpo to move quicker toward the source. The trio noticing that something was up, quickly or as quickly as they could, followed him. It didn't take Ichigo long to arrive. They stood right before the entrance. At first there was nothing before the gate slowly started to open to reveal a crowd that stood behind it. They didn't know what to make of these people, Ichigo however did. He smiled!

"How have you been my friends, long time no see."It almost looked like a spell was lifted. As soon as the words had left Ichigo's lips the crowd moved toward him and the greeting started that went from hugs to claps and many other things to express ones happiness when meeting someone that they had missed for a long time.

Ichigo noticed something worrisome or maybe not. All the taichos, from Soul Society were present and even a few fukutaichos. Even Mayuri and Byakuya were there. Had he done something? Then he saw something that didn't make him one bit happier at all. Yachiru was present as well and the last time Yachiru and Nel had met all hell had broken lose. They now even had a dragon! The school would soon be found as ruins and it didn't reassure Ichigo one bit to see Kenpachi grinning at him like a maniac. Ichigo saw his short life, even thought it wasn't really as short as before anymore, running through his head one last time and he prepared himself for the worst. Hogwarts wouldn't be left standing!

Hope you liked it. Just came as an Idea into my head and I thought 'Why not'.

Real story will follow soon, but with a bit of this (was funny to write). XD

Please review, tried to correct, but still am not that good.
