Chapter 2:

Detention

Cat- Hello my lovely readers! Sorry I haven't updated; my workload is huge right now, but I'm working on it ^.^ I also blame my absence on laziness and the fact that I started watching Fairy Tail, Which is addicting XD Right now I'm like, wtf, why aren't Natsu and Lucy together yet? Then again I'm only at episode 100…Anyway, let's stop rambling :D

It was a sunny Tuesday morning at Umadoshi Boarding School. The sky was as blue as can be, with no cloud in sight. Since it was still summer, the temperature was around eighty-five degrees. It was a blissful morning, except for one girl who woke up late.

"Kyaaa! Why didn't my alarm clock go off?!" Ichigo screeched as she ran around her room trying to get ready. Since she had such little time to get ready, she put on a hot pink hoodie with light blue jeans and the same white converse. She quickly brushed her hair and her teeth, put her ribbons in her hair, and grabbed her backpack. She ran into the kitchen, grabbed a banana, and ran straight to her class.

Ichigo burst into her first class as soon as the bell rang. The whole class stared at her, trying to refrain from laughing, as she walked over to Ms. Ikumi's desk. "Ichigo, what happened?"

"I'm…sorry…My…alarm…clock didn't go off." Ichigo gasped trying to catch her breath.

"At least you're not late. Please take your seat." Ichigo did what she was told and walked over to her desk. She glanced at the smirking Kisshu, rolled her eyes, and sat own.

"Now class, today we will be talking about square roots…" The rest of what she said was drowned out by Ichigo's thoughts. She still couldn't fathom why everybody told her to stay away from Kisshu. She was so deep in thought she didn't hear the teacher calling her. "Momomiya Ichigo!" Ms. Ikumi yelled.

"Nani…?" She said.

"What is the square root of 400?"

"20." Ichigo answered. Ms. Ikumi looked surprised for a second, but continued on with the lesson.

The bell rang an hour later. "Class dismissed. Ichigo and Kisshu, stay behind for a little bit."

After the students left, Ichigo and Kisshu walked up to Ms. Ikumi's desk. "I just wanted to remind you that you both have detention after school in this classroom. You may leave."

"Hai, sensei." The duo said in unison. They both walked out the classroom and stopped outside the door when Kisshu said, "See you in detention." Ichigo rolled her eyes and walked away. Kisshu smirked at the retreating figure.

The rest of the day droned on as Ichigo dreaded detention. Why do I have to be stuck in a room with Kisshu of all people? She thought. He stole my first kiss! He's lucky I didn't practice my karate moves on him.

Ichigo was snapped out of her thoughts as the final bell rang. She groaned as she packed up her things and left the room. Instead of walking to the dorms, she headed back to Ms. Ikumi's classroom.

As she was walking along the hallway, a blue-haired girl walked up to her. "Um…May I help you?"

The girl smirked. "No, but what you can do is help yourself."

Ichigo blinked and crossed her arms over her chest, unfazed by her hostility. "And what do you mean by that?" She growled.

"Stay away from Kisshu-sama, or else."

Ichigo snickered. "I don't take orders from people like you."

A wave of hate flashed in the blue-haired girl's eyes as she slapped Ichigo. Ichigo looked at the girl, her anger reaching a boiling point. She thought to herself. Not now, Kurai. I can take this weakling. (AN- Bold means her conscience is talking to her in her head.)

Are you sure?

Yeah.

As the blue-haired teen pulled her arm back getting ready to punch, Ichigo lifted her leg and kicked her in the stomach. The force sent her flying into the wall. The girl fell down the wall, unconscious. Not wanting to be caught, she ran down the hall to detention.

At her arrival, she found that Kisshu and the teacher were already there. "Glad you can make it." Ms. Ikumi said crossly. Ichigo mentally rolled her eyes and sat down next to the Kisshu.

"Now, in detention, you either do your homework, or you help around the classroom. Since there are only two of you, Kisshu you can help around in the classroom and Ichigo can do her homework." Kisshu sent a glare at Ichigo's way and she silently giggled as she pulled out her endless amount of homework.

"Kisshu, you can start by cleaning the board and sweeping. I'll come back in an hour." (AN- She doesn't realize how bad it is to leave two teenagers in the same room alone…)

When Ms. Ikumi left, the duo started doing what they were told. The room was filled with an awkward silence. Breaking the ice, Kisshu said, "So, honey, did you like my kiss?"

Ichigo jumped at the sound of his voice. "No, I didn't! I hated it! Who the hell said you could kiss me?!" Ichigo said with agitation.

Kisshu smirked. "I'm sorry, but your lips looked so inviting." He said seductively.

Ichigo frowned. "Don't make me kick your ass, playboy."

Kisshu pretended to look hurt. "I'm sorry, kitty."

"Kitty?"

"Yep, that's your new nickname." Kisshu said as he walked over and tapped her nose. He laughed as Ichigo frowned.

"How the hell is this funny?"

"Okay, let me make it up to you."

Ichigo heard a silent alarm in her head. Stay away from Kisshu. She slightly shook her head. "I'm listening." She said.

"Well…there's a Halloween festival in a few weeks. If you want, we could hang out together. Since you just started here, I know you don't have many friends."

Ichigo thought for a minute. It sounded really fun, but she was thinking about what her parents told her. Maybe he changed since, whatever he did. She snapped out of her thoughts and answered, "Sure, I'll go with you." Ichigo smiled.

Kisshu smiled back, and returned to his assignment. Ichigo continued her homework, smiling to herself. Although, she just couldn't shake that faint alarm sounding in her head.

Cat- DONE! Finally, you guys won't kill me *sweatdrop* Anyway, who is Kurai? And what is that alarm going off in her head? Let's see who can find out what Kurai means in English… ;) Ja ne!

Just realized that I got this out a lot earlier than I expected to :D
