35Chapter Two: First Day of School
Ichigo, Toushiro, and Hisagi walked out of their limo, girls stopped dead in their tracks and stared at them. Rukia had just arrived to see them, Matsumoto right next to her, "Imagine what Kazumi will say when she gets here."
"Yeah she'll definitely crack a joke."
The bell rang, so Matsumoto and Rukia ran to class.
Rukia and Matsumoto sat down staring at Kazumi's chair, which was empty. Matsumoto looked at Rukia and whispered, "Where is she?"
Rukia's only response was an I don't know. They just sighed and looked forward, they saw their teacher enter, "Class I'd like introduce you to some transfer students." she said turning to the door, "Come on in boys."
They entered and almost all the girls in the class were going to faint, Toushiro was about to close the door, when he heard someone shout, "Please hold the door!" he turned to see a black haired girl running toward him.
She entered the door, everyone staring at her, "Kazumi your late!" the teacher scolded.
"Gomen sensei." she said.
"What's with the bandages?" the teacher asked.
"Ummm…..I fell down the stairs at the subway." she said rubbing her head.
"Your such a klutzy, go and take your seat."
"Yes ma'am." she said and walked toward her chair.
When she sat down, Matsumoto threw her a small paper, 'Fell down the stairs, like I haven't heard that one before.'
She just looked at her and smiled, "Okay now if you'd please introduce yourselves." the teacher instructed.
Hisagi smiled, he was always the one that dazzled the girls, "Hisagi Shuuhei it's a pleasure to meet you all." he said looking at the girls.
Which made them sigh and giggle. Toushiro sighed he hated attention, "Hitsugaya Toushiro." he said not looking up at anyone. Some girls still found that cute.
Ichigo scratched his hand, and ran his hand threw his hair, "Kurosaki Ichigo." Girls loved that aura around him, they sighed like them were in loved. Kazumi chuckled at the way they were acting, she thought it was a little low to throw themselves on some guys.
All the girls with the exception of Rukia and Matsumoto glared, she looked up at them and said, "Why don't you take a picture it'll last longer!" she said sighing and began to read her book.
Matsumoto and Rukia knew she hated that, hell they all did. "Well why don't you take your seats now." she said gesturing to the open seat which happened to be right behind the three girls.
They saw where they sat and sighed at the same time, "Don't we feel special." they whispered.
Nothing much went on after that they ignored the girls that were glaring at them. They just couldn't wait until it was lunch.
Lunch Time
Ichigo, Toushiro, and Hisagi ate at the back of the room surrounded by girls. Kazumi couldn't help but laugh, "Matsumoto why don't you get an autograph from our superstar classmates."
"Oh, Kazumi I'd never dare do that, I'm not that special. Rukia you're the brave one you do it." she said sarcastically.
"No, didn't you see how they glared at us, they might bite my head off." she said laughing.
Which everyone noticed, "Oh, god its little Miss Perfect and her clones." Senna whispered loud enough for everyone to hear.
Kazumi stood up and walked toward her, Senna was next to the wall, so to scare her a little she punched the wall right next to her, "Got something to say you fucking slut, say it to my face." she removed her hand and started to laugh, "You talk big, but you can't ever back it up." she looked toward the guys and chuckled, "Sorry if I'm not like any of these girls, but you can't sweep me off my feet with a simple smile." she said turning to walk away.
Senna got up and shouted, "At least, I'm not the klutzy clown that fell down the stairs!"
Kazumi turned and laughed, "You don't honestly think that I fell down the stairs now did you? You really are an idiot." that was her last words and she just walked back to Rukia and Matsumoto, who just laughed.
"Kazumi!" she turned to see Shinji and Kensei.
"What's up?" she asked with a smile.
"What's up!? You come to school wrapped in bandages and smile! Who's the bastard that did this!?" he yelled.
"Nothing Shin, forget it, just some drunker." she said smiling at him and hugging him, "Stop worrying so much."
"Really, ever need us call." Kensei said to her.
"Yeah, yeah I know." she said smiling.
"Hiyori wants to race you to the gym."
"Again?"
"Yup, I don't know why she's such a bad loser."
"The world will never know."
"Man, alright, but do you know what we're doing today?"
"Kenpachi-sensei, said thanks to Senna and her clones, we're all going to running 5 laps."
Kazumi frowned, sure she loved running, but she just wasn't in the mood, "Why am I not surprised?"
"Because it happens all the time." Matsumoto said.
"Oh, yeah." she said smiling.
"Ichigo what's your next class?"
"Art."
"Your not taking P.E?"
"No some of us are luckier then you."
Hisagi smiled, and put his arm around Toushiro, "What do you mean we both have P.E."
"Really Toushiro!?"
"All the other electives, were full so it had to be P.E."
"Yeah just don't overstress your body, mom's gonna freak."
"Yeah, I know."
They noticed Rukia and the others grab their bags, they were next to the door when the bell rang and exited quickly. Ichigo, walked in the opposite direction, Toushiro and Hisagi still surrounded by girls.
P.E.
"Today thanks to some of your wonderful classmates, you're all going to do 5 laps." he instructed.
"Yes, sensei."
Everyone stretched out, and when they heard the whistle they started to run. Kazumi was faster then almost all the girls, expect Hiyori, she just always wanted to beat her.
She sighed, then she saw Toushiro running closer and closer, she took one big breath and ran faster. To her surprise when she looked back he was right behind her, 'God why doesn't he just give up?' she thought, before she knew it she had already finished her lap.
She wiped the sweat off and grabbed her water bottle, drank from it and sat down, "Kazumi good work, I expect that out of you."
"Arigato Kenpachi-sensei." she said smiling.
Toushiro sat next to her, "Ummm…..hello."
She turned to him, what he didn't think she'd actually fall for him, she just smiled, "Hello."
"So you're a fast runner?"
"Yeah at least that's what sensei tells me."
Meanwhile in Art Class
"Some of you may know the new student, even if you were introduced this is Kurosaki Ichigo." he said as he gestured toward Ichigo, he shrugged and stretched his arms. "Well, why don't you sit next to Ms. Kuchiki." he said and pointed to Rukia.
She sighed, 'Why the punk?' she thought, she never was the lucky one to begin with. Ichigo just nodded and walked to the empty chair, he took his seat and sighed.
He hated the awkwardness with people, "Hi." he said to Rukia.
She just looked at him with an unbelieving face, "Yeah hi." she whispered back.
"Well, I hope you don't take this as an offense but your really shorter then I expected you to be." he said looking at her.
Her face filled with anger, no one dared to pull that one, so she did the first thing she thought of and punched him on the arm, really hard. Thankfully Ukitake wasn't paying attention and she got away with it. "Like your one to talk, Strawberry!" she shouted only for him to hear.
"My name means one who protects!" he retorted.
"Yeah, and how long have you got away with saying that?" she said arms crossed.
"Yeah, sure your just jealous that I can actually reach the chalk board."
"I'm not that short you idiot!"
"Really, shorty it sure does seem so." he said patting his head.
She growled, "You jackass!" she shouted and punched him harder then the first time.
"You short bitch!" he shouted.
"Ms. Kuchiki and Mr. Kurosaki do you have something to share with the class?"
"No senpai." they both replied.
"Okay, then may I proceed?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
"Bitch."
"Jackass."
"So your name's Toushiro?" she asked somehow she didn't feel awkward around him anymore.
"Yes, and what's yours?"
"Kazumi."
"That's a beautiful name."
Which made Kazumi blush a little, 'What the hell no one makes me blush!" she grunted, "Thank you." she said smiling. "So are you and Ichigo friends?"
"Yeah, I wish, we're brothers."
"Really but you look nothing alike."
"We're adopted brothers, same goes with Hisagi."
"Must be nice." she said smiling at the thought.
"What is?" he asked not thinking.
"To have brothers."
"You don't have any?"
"Well, its no secret he passed away with my mother." she whispered.
"Oh, I'm sorry." he whispered back.
She smiled, gosh she had a habit of doing that around him, "It's okay Matsumoto and Rukia helped me through it, when I thought I couldn't take it anymore they'd yell at me and tell me to snap out of it."
"Your really close to them huh?"
"They're the closest things I have to sisters."
"How long have you known them."
"About 7 years now." she said counting with her fingers.
Toushiro had to admit that was cute, he hadn't ever been around a girl that didn't throw herself at him, so being around her was fun "That's a long time."
"Yeah I'll say." she said.
"So sorry for asking but exactly how are you, Ichigo, and Hisagi brothers?"
"Well, Ichigo's mother found us when we were little, Hisagi and I were in the same orphanage. And when we were put up for adoption, she claimed us as her sons." he paused, "Then after that she had to twins Karin and Yuzu."
Kazumi smiled, "That's a big family, dinner must be fun."
"Well now it isn't, she took Yuzu and Karin to study aboard in England. So we're stuck with our idiotic father." he said sighing.
"Idiotic?"
"Well, he has fun toying with us, and attacking Ichigo when he least expects it." he sighed still deciding whether to ask her, "So since I answered your question, can you answer mine?"
"Okay, that's fair."
"So how exactly did you mother and brother pass away."
She was still a little shocked by the question, "Oh, my brother was sick so they had to go to the states to check him in, and when they wee finally coming home, something happened and the plane…..crashed."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay." she smiled, "The part that hurts the most is missing them."
"Your very strong, to still smile after everything you went through."
"Well, if I don't I might just lose it. I mean that's what the doctors told me."
"So you live alone?" he asked not knowing how much she hated that question.
She hesitated, "No…..I live this my dad."
"Just you two?" he asked.
Before she could answer one of Senna's friends named Hinamori Momo, walked up to them, "Shiro, why don't we leave little Miss Perfect alone?" she said grabbing his arm, "People say that it's bad luck to be around her too long."
"Yeah, just imagine what people say about you." she said not afraid for her to hear.
"What do they say huh? I'm way nicer then you."
Kazumi started to laugh, making everyone stop to look, "Yeah, and who's the person that put that idea in your head. You call degrading people nice? Then the definition must have change since I last I read it." she said laughing, "You say your nice, but how much longer can you pull it off before people start to get sick of it. Or are they already sick of it?"
"Your one to talk, you get beat up by your dad!"
Kazumi started to laugh harder, "No correction, I got beat up by drunkards yesterday, but you wouldn't know that now would you? Don't try to act like you know everything, or me, cause you dead wrong."
"Oh, just leave her alone, just admit your nothing without your ice princess." Senna said standing next to Hinamori.
"Oh, you noticed me for the second time today, aren't I the luckiest person. Normally you wouldn't recognize anything but a dick and a big fat wallet. I should thank the gods for this." she said taunting them.
Making everyone chuckle, "You two are still to immature to go against me. Come back when you know the meaning courage." she said and walked away.
"Oh, I'll give you!" Senna shouted.
Kazumi just waved her hand in the air, signaling a whatever, whatever. Matsumoto ran up too her, "Rukia is going to kill you for doing that without her!" she said slapping Kazumi on the shoulder, "I have to admit that was a close one, you should really move out."
"Yeah sure but where will I go, I can't live off of Rukia, and certainly not you." she said sighing.
"Move in with Shinji and Kensei, they'll kill you when they find out!"
Kazumi grabbed Matsumoto's arm, "They can't! I know them they'll do something stupid if they do." she said in such a scared voice.
"Okay, okay!" she said calming her down, "But the next time this happens, your moving out, I don't care I'll find you a place myself!"
"Okay, okay. I promise!" she said hugging Matsumoto.
"Besides it seems like Rukia's having a good time."
"What makes you say that?"
"She isn't answering my calls."
Kazumi looked at her in surprise, "That guy must have caught her eye!"
"So what's you name?" Ichigo asked.
Rukia looked at him, "I'm not obliged to tell you."
Ichigo was irritated, "Why not, I told mine?!"
"Well I didn't ask you to!" she snapped back.
"God, stop being a bitch and tell me your name!"
"No! What do I look like to you, a servant?"
"No, a very short servant!"
Rukia was pissed and irritated, so she kicked Ichigo's shin again, "You are an idiot!"
"Yeah, yeah keep talking."
"You're a brainless idiot." she said arms crossed.
"Sorry little Miss Perfect." he said irritating her.
"It's Ice Princess."
"What?"
"It's Ice Princess, Kazumi is little Miss Perfect, at least that's what your bitchy girlfriend calls us." she snapped.
"Girlfriend? What do you mean that girl with the golden eyes?"
"No the one with the purple eyes. No duh, you idiot!"
"Ha, funny why don't you leave me alone."
"How can I, when you just keep starting it? How's about this, you just shut your mouth for the rest of I don't know forever. Then you wouldn't have to hear me."
"Conceited bitch!"
"Yeah, keep talking it's going in one ear out the other." Rukia said as the bell rang, "Don't worry your girlfriend is sure to come for you." she said walking away.
"Looks like someone's got you preoccupied." Kazumi said raising her eyebrows.
"Shut it, it's nothing like that." she said ignoring her.
"Really? You mean ignoring Matsumoto's call isn't nothing. That's hard to believe."
"Yeah, yeah." she said waving her hands.
"Kazumi you coming."
"Yeah, hold on Shin!" she turned back to Rukia, "I'm gonna go home Shin and Ken, so be careful. Mr. Takimaru is waiting out side for you."
"What about school?"
"Rukia, it's half day. You didn't forget right?" Kazumi smiled, "See you later!" she said running to Shinji and Kensei.
"Took you long enough."
"Shut it Shin!" she said punching his shoulder.
"God! You are just like your brother always harassing me!"
"Whatever!" she said laughing.
"Let's get going."
"Gosh, Kensei lighten up!" she said patting his back, which made him stiff.
"You see Toushiro, its all part of her little game. She lures you in, makes you fall for her and then crushes your heart." Senna said.
"Hmph." Toushiro said and left, that kept him puzzled the whole walk.
"What's wrong Toushiro?" Hisagi said.
"Nothing, what's up with Kurosaki?"
They looked at Ichigo, who was irritated, "Could you hurry up!"
"Okay, okay don't need to have a bitch fit."
"Shut up Hisagi!"
"What Ichigo some girl hasn't fallen head over heels for you?"
The car stayed quiet for a while, "Really who is she?"
"Shut up!"
"You mean that happened to you to? Just earlier, I was trying to pick up this girl and she blew me off."
"What's her name?"
"Matsumoto Rangiku."
"The world is going to end, a girl who isn't in love with Hisagi."
"Shut it genius, how's about your new girlfriend the one with the green eyes?"
"Shut up!"
"God, don't get so defensive Shiro!"
"Shut it Kurosaki, you haven't even mentioned who's this girl of yours."
"She is nothing."
"Nothing more like everything."
"OH, shut up!"
"You first!"
"You both shut it, or I'll tell mom!
"Yeah, Toushiro you were always mom's little baby."
"Shut it Kurosaki!"
"Stop ganging up on him! He can't help it that he's the smallest out of all of us." Toushiro was nodding his head in agreement until he heard that, "What! Again with the he's the shortest one!"
"What you can't help it, its true."
"Oh, shut it or your both going to have to sleep with both eyes open tonight." Toushiro threatened.
"Yeah, we'd better stop, he could probably murder someone and get away with it." Ichigo said.
"No, but you wouldn't hurt us right? We're your brothers." Hisagi said.
Toushiro kept quiet, "Then don't try me." he closed his eyes again and sighed.
They all thought their first day, was hell. Imagine what tomorrow, would be like.
