BEEP! BEEP! The alarm went off. Ichigo groggily opened his eyes to take his hand out of the covers and slam the top of the alarm clock very abruptly. He flipped his body over to see the time written as 𝟲:𝟯𝟬. He then got up out of bed. Took his school uniform out of his shelf and changed. Before he could go get breakfast he decided to check on Rukia. He slowly slid open the closet door to see the small ravenette sleeping peacefully in the twisted  blankets. He gave a slight smile before softly closing the door and heading down stairs. Upon getting down, he inhaled the sweet aroma of maple syrup, butter and flour...pancakes! Yuzu was always a great cook. She woke up the earliest to prepare food for everyone. She took the role of doing chores and house work after their mom died..

"Onii-Chan, are you okay?"  Yuzu questioned and Ichigo nodded his head, letting his sorrowful thoughts fizz off. Everyone was seated at the table and gave Ichigo a concerned look because of his pensive face lost in deep thought. After breakfast was finished, Ichigo grabbed his bento box, waved goodbye and headed out the door. On the way of walking to school he heard the soft footsteps of someone behind him. He turned to see a female with long, flowy orange hair a shade darker Ichigo's that blue flower pins on each side. She had big bright grey eyes and wore a enthusiastic grin. "Good morning Kurosaki san!" She chirped in a perky tune. Ichigo only let out a small sigh before giving her a sweet grin. The girl's name was Orihime Inoue. She was one of  Ichigo's best friends since they first entered university. They both greeted each other before continued there pleasant walk to uni. Once they arrived at the classroom, Ichigo threw his bag down on the floor near his desk. He sat down, leaning back on the chair with his hands behind his head and legs on top of the desk. Just as he was in the zone he heard the familiar voice which he was now used to. He groaned and lazily glanced over to the door. There stood a male with jet black hair and rectangle framed glassed resting on his nose bridge which he moved up with the tip of his index finger. His hair was short in the back and had two thick and long  strands in front which measured a little longer than his face. His eyes were royal blue and had a solemn but a bit annoyed look on his face as he approached the teen who was now slouching even more. 

"Kurosaki san! What are you doing...having such posture in class is very uncivil. If the professor sees you like this then your gonna be in big trouble!" Exclaimed the guy. Ichigo only rolled his eyes and stopped slouching. " Ishida, can you stop being such a worry wort. It's starting to get on my nerves y'know.." The other only frowned with furrowed eyebrows and left for his seat. His name was Uryu Ishida. He was one of the top students in class. He also had a nerdy appearance from the glasses and everyone would make fun of him for that. He claims that stereotyping people is very odious. " Heh, typical nerd.." Ichigo thought to himself with a a smirk on his face. After what seemed like a million years the teacher arrived and started on the lesson. Ichigo on the other hand barely got enough sleep last night from extra shifts at the coffee shop yesterday and on the way back he learnt about the whole 'shinigami' thing. He currently fidgeting with the paper crane he had made in his hand when he heard the teacher call his name. " Ichigo, since you seem to be very familiar with the lesson and paying attention...why don't you answer the question written on the board."  Ichigo heard some students snickering while others whispered to each other. Ishida only rolled his eyes while Inoue gave a tensed look. Ichigo then eyed at the question on the board. " How many molecules of oxygen can a single hemoglobin molecule carry?" Although Ichigo didn't look and act like it, he was a very smart student and quite good with grades. Hell, his grades were sometimes even better than Ishida's. Ichigo scanned his brain for a few seconds before smiling to the professor and answering. " Sir, the answer is 4." Ichigo was quite confident in his answer but there was short silence in the room. Some students gave a small gasp. Ishida raised his eyebrows in shock and Inoue gave a sweet smile in relief. Ichigo was nervous though..he didn't want a detention..again..The professor's sinister looking grin then slowly faded to a disappointed smile. " Uh y-yes very good Kurosaki..that's correct." Ichigo then gave a soft smile and deeply exhaled all the stress caged up inside him. The professor was definitely sad that he couldn't pass out any detention slips today. "What was his problem anyways.." Ichigo thought before continuing on with his other classes. Finally it was lunch break when he heard a very high pitched behind him. He then froze and turned around to see a very familiar female ravenette waving at him gracefully. He froze in horror as she walked to him. It was none other than Rukia
