Karakura City Academy for Artistic Souls Chapter 2, a bleach fanfic

Hello again everyone! Here is the next Chapter! I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you to those who have already followed and reviewed this story, I appreciate it! : )

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING except my story and OCs. Bleach belongs to Kubo if it belonged to me Grimmjow would have shown up in the manga already and Ichiruki would have happened a long time ago. And all other things belong to their perspective owners/creators.

Chapter Two

(No One's POV)

Davina is at the podium getting set up with a small ear piece and microphone while shouting orders to everyone and making sure the guys for the opening perfomance are ready to go on. As the techs finish up with her they hurry to go to the sound boards to control everything. "Alright can everyone hear me clearly?!" Davina says testing to see if everyone's microphones and ear pieces are set up. She hears a chorus of "Yes." and nods to herself. "Alright Nel, Uryu make sure Rukia is set up with an earpiece and microphone and bring her to the podium." A few seconds later she hears Nel Reply. "Alright Davina Uryu just finished taking in Rukia's dress and Nemu already set her up so we are on our way."

Davina turns and sees Ichigo, Grimmjow, Shuhei and Renji making their way over to her. "Hey guys. I see you finally got here Shuhei." Davina says. Ichigo, Shuhei and Renji nod at her while Grimmjow picks her up from the waist and kisses her before setting her down. Davina smiles after and looks around the four guys. "Where are Toshiro and Dante(No Not From Devil May Cry)?" Davina asks. Grimmjow, Shuhei and Renji look around and Ichigo rubs the back of his neck. "... We don't know... We all came in together but two minutes after we got here they disappeared..." Ichigo says. Davina growls and speaks into the microphone clipped to the inside of her blouse. "Toshiro Hitsugaya - Ichimaru and Dante Bonsignore I want both of you to the podium NOW. And if by chance these two haven't been set up yet the person closest to them better drag them to this podium RIGHT NOW!" Davina runs her hands through her hair and sighs loudly. "I swear those two better get here or I WILL hurt them sooo badly."

"You won't have to Davina I brought you Shiro-Chan." Davina turns and sees her God Sister Karin dragging Toshiro by the arm to the podium. "Damn it Karin I told you I was on my way over here already!" Toshiro sighs. Karin rolls her eyes at him and turns back to Davina. "Yeah sure that's why he was walking to the indoor skating rink on campus." Karin says smirking. Davina glares at Toshiro who is now standing next to the other three guys. "Great now we are just missing Dante..." "No you're not I'm right here." Everyone turns and sees a guy around the same height as Ichigo with long silver hair tied loosely on his right shoulder, light tan skin, and baby blue eyes. He is wearing a purple dress shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, black straight leg jeans pulled over black boots. "At least no one had to drag you here." Davina says glaring at Toshiro.

"Alright so all of you are dressed, and set up with ear pieces and microphones right?" Davina asks. "Yes babe, we all got set up." Grimmjow says putting his hands on her waist. "Ok good." Davina says. Davina then looks over Toshiro, Shuhei, Renji and Grimmjow since she didn't look at what they were wearing before. Renji has his hair loose and is wearing a black dress shirt, dark blue jeans and black boots, Grimmjow is wearing a dark blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black straight leg jeans pulled over black boots. Toshiro is wearing a light grey dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black straight leg jeans and black high top converse. And finally Shuhei is wearing a dark green dress shirt, black straighte leg pants and black boots. "Who dressed all six of you?" Davina asks. "Orihime and Yuzu did." Ichigo says stretching. "Five minutes to show time Le Blanc-San!" Davina turns and sees a boy with black hair handing her, her clip board. "Thank you Hanataro." "Alright guys, your microphones are set up, your instruments are in place on stage behind the curtain so go!" Davina says shooing the guys away behind the curtain on stage. "I'll see you afterwards babe, love you." Grimmjow says giving Davina a kiss and then leaving with the guys. "Love you too." Davina says sighing happily.

Just as the guys are leaving to take their places they pass Nel, Uryu and Rukia. When Rukia and Ichigo pass each other they don't look at each other. There is that slow motion movement when they pass each other, both not noticing the other as they have many things on their minds.

"Hey Davina." Nel says smiling. "Hey you three. Wow Rukia you look amazing!" The red lace dress is a couple inches above her knees revealing her smooth long legs and the dress also hugs her athletic curvy petite body. Her hair reveals her beautiul face and her features are accentuated by the mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss. Rukia blushes and looks down. "Thank you, but it was all thanks to Nel and Uryu. "Nonesense Rukia, we just accentuated your features." Uryu says putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Guys!" The four turn and see Orihime running to them. Orihime is wearing a grey long sleeve with Mickey Mouse on it, black tight skinny jeans, and black high heels. Her hair is up in a ponytail her bangs framing her face and where her hair is tied she has two blue flower pins. Orihime then reaches the group and kisses Uryu on the cheek. Uryu smiles and kisses her on the lips "Hello Princess." Orihime blushes at Uryu's nickname for her and then notices Rukia standing inbetween Uryu and Nel.

"Oh hi! I'm Orihime Inoue." Orihime says going to stand in front of Rukia and hugging her. "Hello Inoue-San I'm Rukia Kuchiki. You must be Uryu's girlfriend, he's told me a couple of things about you. It's nice to meet you." Rukia says smiling. Orihime smiles back. "I hope they were all good things! And it's nice to meet you too Kuchiki-San! Please call me Orhime." "Alright but you have to call me Rukia." The two girls smile at each other and then Orihime turns to Davina. "Davina Hanataro-Kun wanted me to tell you that we start in two minutes." "Alright thank you Orihime, I better get on stage then. Rukia you can sit here and watch the first performance, three of the guys on Bass, Acoustic, and Electric will be playing for your performance and the two guys who will be on Violin should be getting here any minute." Davina says putting down her clip board, fixing her hair, and then putting on her blazer.

The lights dim in the concert hall and a spotlight shines where Davina stands on the catwalk.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Karakura City Academy for Artistic Souls. We are honored to have all of you here for our 24th Annual Summer Music Showcase! I am Davina Le Blanc a Junior here at the Academy and I will be your host for most of the evening, first I regret to inform you all that one of the Junior Class performers isn't here, but luckily Ms. Rukia Kuchiki a new student here at the Academy will be taking over for Senna Aizen who didn't come. Now I am proud to introduce to you all the opening act Ichigo Kurosaki, Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, Toshiro Hitsugaya - Ichimaru, Dante Bonsignore, Shuhei Hisagi and Renji Abarai who are performing Counting Stars by OneRepublic, please enjoy."

Davina steps off the catwalk and back to backstage, the spotlight dissapears, the curtains open and the stage lights turn on. Ichigo is at the front with his hands on a black microphone with red black flames all over (Imagine a Hollowfied Getsuga Design) on a mic stand, Grimmjow and Toshiro are both on electric guitar, Shuhei on acoustic guitar, Dante on Bass and Renji on drums.

Counting Stars

OneRepublic

Lately I been, I been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Yeah, we'll be counting stars

Ichigo steps back from the mic a bit his hands still on it.

As he starts singing again he gets close again to the mic.

I see this life

Like a swinging vine

Swing my heart across the line

In my face is flashing signs

Seek it out and ye shall find

Old, but I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

Ichigo takes the mic off the stand and starts to move around the stage.

I feel something so right

By doing the wrong thing

And I feel something so wrong

By doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Rukia is sitting on a chair listening and watching the guys play, but because of where she is sitting... She can't see Ichigo, she can only hear his voice.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Ichigo goes back to the stand and puts the mic back and puts his hands back on the stand and mic.

I feel the love

And I feel it burn

Down this river every turn

Hope is our four letter word

Make that money

Watch it burn

He steps back again.

Rukia is mesmerized by his voice,

He steps forward to sing into the mic, his bangs covering his eyes.

Old, but I'm not that old

Young, but I'm not that bold

And I don't think the world is sold

I'm just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong

By doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Davina introduces Rukia to Sebastian Michaelis and Usui Takumi (Look them up, I love the animes they are in) who will be playing violin for her performance. Sebastian is tall and fit has ruby red eyes, messy black hair, ivory skin and is wearing black skinny jeans, black boots, grey and black striped long sleeve, black leather vest with zippers, a black cross necklace, black bracelets and leather cuff bracelet, and black stud earrings. Usui is tall and fit as well with blonde spiky hair, green eyes, tan skin and is wearing a navy blue dress shirt, black straight leg jeans, and black boots.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Oh, oh, oh.

[4x:]

Take that money

Watch it burn

Sink in the river

The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Davina yells for the baby grand piano to be ready to roll out on stage when she gives the cue, and for the crew to be ready to roll off Renji's drum set.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Lately I been, I been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be, we'll be counting stars...

The song ends, the audience errupts with applause, the guys bow and the curtains close.

Davina gives the cue and then walks back on to the catwalk the white spotlight following her.

"I hope you all enjoyed the Opening act, now we have new student Rukia Kuchiki singing and playing My Soul, Your Beats by Lia on the piano accompanied by Toshiro Hitsugaya - Ichimaru, Dante Bonsignore, Shuhei Hisagi, Usui Takumi and Seabastian Michealis. Please enjoy!"

Davina walks off stage as the spotlight disappears and the curtains open. The lavender stage lights are dim but you can still make out the five guys a few feet behind the white baby grand piano. Rukia and Ichigo pass each other again as Rukia makes her way to on stage and Ichigo stands by Orihime to get dressed in another outfit.

Rukia sighs and walks on stage a bright lavender spotlight following her as she smooths her dress and takes her seat on the piano bench. Rukia lets out a breath and begins to play the guys following her lead.

My Soul, Your Beats

Lia

Mezamete ha kurikaesu Nemui asa ha

Rukia smiles and starts to loose herself while playing.

Rouka no sumi miorosu Souji no tochuu

Ichigo is in his dressing room listening to Rukia play while changing out of his shirt and shoes and into a blood red dress shirt and some black boots. He leaves his vest, converse and wallet chain on the couch and walks back out still mesmerized by Rukia's beautiful voice and piano playing.

Itsu no ma ni ka Kakedashiteta

Anata ni te wo hikareteta

Kinou ha tooku Ashita ha sugu

Sonna atarimae ni kokoro ga odotta

Ichigo is stopped by Yuzu and is unable to lay eyes on Rukia while she is still performing. He sees Davina getting ready for her performance her hair is in soft curls, she has light pink lip gloss, black eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara mking her eyes pop and she is already dressed in tight black leather pants, red long sleeve button up blouse with black tight tank top under, and black spike four inch heels. Davina puts on some leather fingerless gloves and some black rose gauges with a bronze leave hanging from each and then walks towards Ichigo and tells him to turn on his mic before he goes on stage.

Kikoeta ki ga shita

Furuedasu ima kono mune de

Rukia finishes and opens her eyes hearing the roaring applause from the audience and people from back stage. She gets up and bows with the guys behind her and the curtains close on her. As she goes back stage Ichigo leaves it and a spotlight follows him to the catwalk. Back stage everyone rushes to take out the piano and put back the drums, Sebastian, Toshiro and Usui leave the stage and Renji runs with Davina to take their places while Dante leaves since Grimmjow will be on bass and Ichigo and Shuhei will be on electirc.

"Good evening everyone I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, I hope you all have enjoyed our performance so far this evening. Next up we have Davina Le Blanc perfoming Starlight by Tonight Alive along with Shuhei Hisagi, Grimmjow Jaegerjaques, Renji Abarai and myself. Please sit back and enjoy."

Ichigo hurries down the catwalk and walks around the other side of the stage and to his place. The curtains open and the music starts. Davina at the front with a blood red microphone with white roses and vines with thorns around it on the microphone stand, Ichigo behind her to her right, Shuhei and Grimmjow behind her on her left, and Renji behind them on his drums. Davina taps her right foot to the music..

Starlight

Tonight Alive

So I've been thinking lately
That I should try to grow up
Maybe start to show up on time

But let's be real here baby
It's not the way that we work
So why waste the sunshine?

I guess it's kinda funny
We always throw away our money
Right when we need it most

But honestly I'm happy
I don't wanna worry about
How we got to be so broke

Rukia smiles seeing Davina having fun on stage and finally notices Ichigo rocking out and playing his black electirc guitar with the same red black flames as his microphone.

Don't want to say goodnight let's live it up
Don't have to say we're giving up if you
Walk me home tonight I swear I could
Fly beside you or under your starlight
Don't want to say goodnight let's live it up
Don't have to wait to have it all if you
Light me up tonight I swear I could
Never burn out under your starlight

Davina smiles and runs her right hand through her hair.

Davina takes the microphone off the stand and walks the catwalk.

So you've been thinking lately
That you don't know what you want
But you don't know what you've got my dear

And if it's dreams we're chasing
You've got the world at your feet
The skyline is so clear

We're getting hung up on the things we should have known
Never bothered us before
We're try'na make ends meet but I'm starting to think
That this is all I need and more

Davina walks back and next to Ichigo putting her right arm on his left shoulder and sings the next verse.

Well our jeans are well ripped with our pockets thin
We don't have any change so we'll just put our hands in
You'll keep me warm tonight
I don't need nice things to help me sleep at night
Well it's never felt better to have nothing but you
And no one understands me but I'm telling the truth
Coz we can live in our own world as long as you love me
As long as you love me

Davina walks back to the stand and puts the microphone back and puts both of her hands on the stand.

Don't want to say goodnight let's live it up
I'm lost tonight under your starlight

The audience applauses, Davina smiles and bows with the boys.

The rest of the first half of the first part of the show went well, now it's almost time for Davina and Rukia's duet. Sadly Rukia still hasn't been introduced to Ichigo since they've both been running around helping Davina, Nel, Uryu, Orihime, and Yuzu. Davina and Rukia are getting ready for their duet and Ichigo is waiting for this performance to end so he can go announce them and then relax for a bit since after this the group won't perform again until the last part of the showcase.

"Next up we have Davina Le Blanc and Rukia Kuchiki doing a duet, they will be singing Shoujo S by Scandal." (Sumimasen, the lyrics are a little wrong I couldn't find a good website to get them from)

Shoujo S

Scandal

(Davina, Rukia, Both)

Sakki made to itteru koto chigau ja nai
Chotto dake sugao miseta keredo
Zutto iraira iraira shite wa

Dareka no sei ni shite wa nigekakure shiteru hibi
Ate ni naranai wa I'm sorry toriaezu sayonara

Ichigo finally has a look at Rukia dancing on stage with Davina.

His eyes are fixated on her, especially since what she's wearing shows her long legs.

Both girls are wearing black tight off the shoulder long sleeves, black spaghetti straps under, simple make up, purple, black and white pleated mid thigh skirts and black Doc Martins.

Anata ga inai to iya iya tte ieru wagamama
(Zutto kienai you ni kesanai you ni)
Aijou? Yuujou? Shiritai koto wa nandemo

Itsuka kokoro no oku no doa o tataku anata o matteiru

Sakki kara jibun no koto bakkari ja nai
Chotto gurai kizutsuite mitara?

Nannen tatte mo itsu ni natte mo yamenaide

'I have to meet her...' Ichigo is mesmerized by her.

Atashi ga inai to dame dame tte itte sunao ni

"Thank you all for coming to the showcase, right now we will have intermission and so the students get some rest before the last half it will be a thirty minute intermission. If you could all please make your way to the dining hall there are caterers there already set up so please enjoy." Davina is on the catwalk again in what she was wearing at the beginning of the showcase. As everyone leaves the hall a group of adults makes their way backstage. After the last person leaves the concert hall Davina goes backstage and walks to one of the many green rooms for the students. Davina enters the room and sees all of her friends in there, she also sees Ichigo sitting next to Grimmjow on a couch playing around with his phone and occasionaly looking up at Rukia who is sitting next to Nel and talking with her on the couch across. Davina rolls her eyes 'He would have a thing for her already, they haven't even technically met yet... Wait... They haven't met yet...' Davina then closes the door behind her.

"Hey guys." Davina says sighing. Davina kicks off her high heels and plops down on the couch next to Grimmjow putting him in the middle of her and Ichigo. "Tired Nee-Chan." Karin says chuckling. Davina chucks a pillow at Karin and scowls. "Shut up Karin, I wouldn't be this tired if one of the guys would've taken being in charge of the showcase." Davina says glaring at Ichigo who doesn't notice because he was looking at Rukia. Davina rolls her eyes again and decides to introduce Rukia already. "Oh guys before I forget, I want to officially introduce Rukia Kuchiki to all of you." Davina gets up and stretches. "Guys this is Rukia Kuchiki the daughter of Byakuya Kuchiki the CEO of Senbonsakura Corp and head of the Kuchiki Family and Hisana Kuchiki the famous Painter and Writer." Everyone says hello and Davina proceeds in introducing everyone else.

"Now let me introduce you to everyone else." Davina says. "You already know Nel and Uryu. Nel is the daughter of Giovanni Tu Odelschwank the Actor and Elizabeth the Dancer and Model. And Uryu is the son of Ryuken Ishida the World Famous Surgeon and Co-Owner of Karakura Hospital and Kanae (Yes his Biological Mom) the Designer and World Renowned Chef." Davina moves to where Orihime, Tatsuki and Renji are. "You've met Orihime who is Akihiko and Naomi Inoue's daughter, they're both Models and Naomi is also a Pastry Chef on the side. This is Tatsuki Arisawa she is the daughter of two of the most bad ass people in the world. Her dad is Masato Arisawa he's a Karate Master and owner of best Dojo ever, and Reiko Arisawa(An Older Version of Sailor Mars ^ w ^ ) the Female MMA World Champion is Tatsuki's mom." Tatsuki rolls her eyes and walks over to Rukia. "Nice to meet you Rukia, I'm happy to see your not one of those stuck up rich girls." Tatsuki says smirking and holding out her hand for Rukia to shake. Rukia laughs and shakes her hand. "If I ever did turn into one of those please do me the favor of shooting me." Tatsuki smiles and nods her head.

Davina smiles and turns to Renji. "This is Renji Abarai or Pineapple. He's the son of Kazuhiro Abarai the Chef and Akane Abarai the Owner and creator of Hell Butterfly Gourmet Restaurant." Renji scowls at Davina for calling him Pineapple but looks over at Rukia and waves. Davina laughs and introduces Grimmjow, Dante and Shuhei. "Rukia this is my boyfriend Grimmjow Jaegerjaques his mom and dad are Francisco and Jaqueline Jaegerjaques. Francisco is a famous American Football Player and Jackie is a Model and Actress." Grimmjow nods at Rukia and she waves. "These two are Dante Bonsignore and Shuhei Hisagi. Dante's dad Alexander is a well known Lawyer and his mom Rosalinda is a Writer and Famous Actress. Shuhei here is the son of Takeshi and Kasumi Hisagi, Takeshi is the Captain of the Japanese Soccer Team and Kasumi is a writer and the author of the Severed Souls Book Series and is also a song writer she's super famous and well known in the music industry." Dante and Shuhei both nod at Rukia and she just smiles back. "Finally we have these four Toshiro Hitsugaya - Ichimaru and the Kurosaki Siblings. Toshiro is the son of the famous Record Producer Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Ichimaru the famous Fashion designer and Model." Toshiro just looks at Rukia and says "Hello." Rukia smiles and says it back. "Now for the Kurosaki Siblings, these three are the kids of Isshin Kurosaki another World Renowned Surgeon and the other Co-Owner of Karakura Hospital with Ryuken Ishida and Masaki Kurosaki the Interior Designer and Former model. We have the twins who are a year younger than all of us Yuzu is the youngest, the middle child is Karin and the oldest is Strawberry over there." Yuzu smiles and says hello while Karin nods and Ichigo just waves. "Your name is Ichigo? As in Strawberry?!" Rukia says laughing.

Ichigo scowls. "Its one who protects not strawberry... Midget..." Rukia stops laughing and glares at Ichigo. "What did you just call me Strawberry." "I just stated a fact Midget." " I am not short, I am average height asshole!" Ichigo scoffs. "Yeah sure maybe average height for a Midget." While they are having this conversation everyone else is just looking on amused. "I am not a midget carrot top!" "Keep telling yourself that shorty and this is my natural hair color!" "You're asking for it Strawberry!" "Bring it Midget!" Rukia growls and gets up and Ichigo gets up as well smirking. Before anything else is said there is a knock at the door. The two sit down and Davina gets up and opens the door.

Cliffhanger! Lol read the next chapter and see who was at the door : 0. Sorry I know I'm lame -_-
