BLEACH: again

Chapter Eleven: Arrival to Kyoto

As the announcement from the train rang, Ichigo was taking over his class. The majority of the girl's whined about how short the train ride was as everyone grabbed their suitcases and bags before heading outside. Walking out, Ichigo noticed some of his students giggling and pointing at Negi and his class as the 3-A girls ran out for fresh air.

Chuckling at the red head's predicament, Ichigo smiled a bit as his students ran up and yelled "Kyoto!" with all their might. A few girls stayed back to watch as Robin noted the history of Kiyomizu Temple, being part of the Archeology Club, adding the myths surrounding the Temple itself.

"This temple is listed as a National Treasure in Japan. The phrase, 'I am going to jump off the Kiyomizu Stage,' also came from this temple. Incidentally, there have been reports of people actually jumping off the stage and landing during the Edo period, although it's been prohibited now," Robin explained, stopping three of her fellow students from jumping, all three who whined at the prohibition. "Interestingly, the following two-hundred and thirty-four people all jumped and a percentage of 85.4% survived, pretty high, isn't it?"

Tsukasa looked puzzled as Konata exclaimed, "Whoa! Freak alarm!"

"Dummy, Robin-san is part of the Archeology Club, so of course she'd be interested in these kinds of things," Kagami said.

"No. I do not take interest in them," Robin disagreed.

"Oh, um…"

"I take it as something to joyfully participate in."

"I-…I see…"

Ichigo breathed in the fresh air as a few students looked over the stage, some crawling back in fear. It wasn't until Ichigo hear Tomoyo saying that they should take a picture to commemorate the trip did he feel someone dragging him. Looking behind him, Ino, with the help of Yuki, were both pushing him while Sakura dragged the orange head to the group as they prepared for a group picture. Sighing to himself, he righted himself and walked behind Momo and Senna, whispering to the former, "We need to talk…"

Momo nodded as she smiled at the camera.

Both Ino and Sakura pouted at the redhead's choice of girls to stand next to as Tomoyo asked a nearby tourist to take the picture. The picture was taken moments later as Tomoyo thanked the tourist.

"Did you know, that there's a stone that can tell fortunes about your love life?" Robin once more questioned. The "fortune" part quickly got the attention of Sakura while the "love life" part was taken in by Ino, Nami, and mildly Kagami. Ichigo sweat-dropped as the three girls asked him to go with them to the stone as Kagami hesitantly tried to tell them off.

"By the way, there's also a waterfall near the stone that can verify three parts of your life called the Otowa Falls. The three parts are, by order, 'Health', 'Academics' and 'Marriage.'"

"MARRIAGE?"

"Ichigo-sensei! Let's go!" Ino said enthusiastically, grabbing the orange head's arm and pulling. Ichigo glared at Robin, "You're having fun with this, aren't you?"

The raven head only smiled.

Ichigo had to say, that while he and the class only met for about a week or two, the girls were really growing into him. Like an older brother having many siblings. Of course, that wasn't what the girls were thinking, almost half of them trying to seduce him being a good example.

"I'm not that good looking am I…?" He asked himself. Clearly, he hasn't been around girls that much.

Speaking of seducing, Ichigo wouldn't say it, but he misses Yoruichi, as well as the other Shinigami friends he befriended. He went back to the warehouse where the Vizards hid only to find it empty and the secret underground training room under the warehouse empty as well. Everything was gone, including the refrigerator and the dish wash.

He went to Urahara's store to ask, but the blonde, Tessai and Yoruichi were also gone, Ginta and Ururu being the only two watching the store, Chad occasionally coming by to help.

It was as if the Shinigami didn't exist in the first place. Hell, even his Dad went missing for about a year before a rough kick in the head brought him back.

Well, with that guy, err, what's-his-name-again? Afro… Zen… something… running about getting rid of Hollows in Rukia's place, Ichigo guessed that the Shinigami were still there, just trying to keep him out of the loop. The carrot head growled. He hated being kept out of the loop.

Speaking of being kept out of the loop, Ichigo noticed Karin and Yuzu both going to Urahara's shop once in a while. Karin, Ichigo could understand, being the kind of girl to not sit back, but Yuzu? That got the older brother thinking fast. He knew he couldn't approach the two without giving out what he was trying to do, so Ichigo tried to sit back and watch over them, but without having enough evidence, he couldn't do much.

Ichigo sighed roughly as he followed his students to the waterfall. Things were so much more easier when he was a Shinigami. Speaking of which, where the hell did Kon go?

Shaking his head to get the thoughts out, Ichigo walked faster to catch up with his students to find them looking at another group of class with curiosity and humor. Walking up to them, he asked, "What's going on?"

His question was answered when he saw a majority of Class 3-A in a drunken stupor as the only waken students tried to wake up the sleeping students. "Kurosaki-sensei, help us!" Negi begged, seeing the orange head come to the scene with his students.

Ichigo sighed. Turning to his students, he said, "Let's go help them…"

Less than half helped out as Asuna grabbed onto Ayaka. Ichigo grabbed Nodoka and hoisted her onto his back as he sniffed. "Oi, Negi."

"H-hai?"

"Do I smell sake?"

"Eh! Uhh, n-no! No you don't!" Negi quickly responded. Chamo berated him on not telling one of the strongest in the group the situation, to which Negi whispered, "N-no! This is my problem because Kocho-sama (Principal/Headmaster) entrusted me with this!"

"A-aniki~…" Chamo whined as Negi stood his ground, albeit with teary eyes, about his mission.

Ichigo raised a brow at this before shrugging, carrying Nodoka all the way to the bus.

Up on the top of a building, Setsuna narrowed her eyes, hoisting her package over her shoulder. "Guess I have no choice…"

(Arashi-Yama)

The two classes have finally arrived at their designated hotel, Class 3-A being assigned to the second floor while Class 3-D took the third floor. Ichigo had just finished unpacking in his and Negi's room when a knock was heard. He responded the usual response and the door opened to reveal Shana.

"Shana?" Ichigo asked as the red head nodded, walking in as another figure walked up. "Yami?"

Ichigo was even more confused as two of the most quiet students in his class (just behind of Yuki, the quietest student) sat in seiza style in front of him. The three stared at each other for quite some time before Ichigo got a little uncomfortable, mostly due to being in seiza position for almost 10 minutes.

"So, err, is there anything you wanna tell me…?" He asked as Yami and Shana looked at each other.

"We just want to tell you to be careful for what will happen here in Kyoto," Shana responded as Yami nodded. Ichigo blinked. "'What will happen in Kyoto-' Like what?"

This time, Yami answered. "There is a possibility that Konoe Konoka from Class 3-A will be kidnapped for her immense Magical storage that she has inherited from her father and mother." (Note: I'm not familiar with To LOVE-ru yet, having not read it yet, so forgive me if my personification of Yami is rusty) Ichigo, looking even more confused, gestured to let her continue. "To elaborate, the Kansai Magical Association has had a, rough, for a lack of better word, relationship with the Kanto Magical Association, as well as a few members of the association bearing immense hatred towards the Western Mages. As such, some of them might be strive to kidnap Konoe Konoka in order to gain access to her Magic, as I have elaborated before, to enact revenge towards the Western Mage."

There was a pause before Yami continued, "How they will accomplish this, even Koncho-sama does not know."

"Uhh… ok… thanks…" Ichigo still looked confused at what has just been told to him. Then it hit him, "Wait, how do you know about-…"

"I'm familiar with Magic because of my involvement in Demon hunting to protect the Academy," Shana responded. "I help out with Sakurazaki Setsuna and Tatsumiya Mana from time to time."

"I am from another plane of existence known as Mundus Magicus, the Home Country of Mages," Yami said her own piece of being involved in the world of Magic. Ichigo opened his mouth to reveal his involvement when Shana interrupted, "Konoe-kocho-sama already informed us and the other Magically-aware students in Class 3-D of your involvement in Magic."

Ichigo twitched an eye. "Ok… guess I'll thank the old man later…" He said as the two bowed to him and left the room. After the door closed, Ichigo palmed his face.

"Stupid old men talking about your involvement while not informing you of them telling others…"

The door was knocked once more, as Ichigo called out, "Come in."

It was Seruhiko who walked in this time, his usual one-eye-open-one-eye-closed face on. "Ah, Kurosaki-sensei."

"Nn, Seruhiko-sensei."

"It's time for the teachers' to bathe."

"Ah, r-right, thanks…" Ichigo responded as Seruhiko smiled, closing the door. It took a moment for Ichigo to move as he looked around. "Now where did I put that badge…?"

Notes:

Ok... so this chapter was a bit useless with no action or anything thrilling... Actually, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing with this chapter... I made it like, almost two months ago... so, yeah, I like to pre-make chapters before even making the actual story. I then pre-edit it here before uploading it. But this chapter didn't really have much to do, so...

Anyway, I've been told on a review that some of the stuff I put on this story didn't make sense to the ordinary life of today.

Dude~ come on! The basic timeline in Negima! is around 2004 while in BLEACH, it was in late-2001. So my time-linking is correct by far, but that isn' the point I was making! The point here, is that yes, you can comment on my story. Yes, you can tell me how to make it better. Yes, you can go on and on and on and on about this whole... theory thingie about how to make stories, and some sort of gadget that could some how improve my grammar and whatever, but what the hell's that gonna do? Now, this may not be what you exactly said~ but let's face it. This is my story.

And besides, Ichigo's only like, 21-22 in terms of age. Of course he's gonna buy a gift for a student who suddenly became his friend and suddenly had a close-to-life-and-death-situation death battle of the day against some Lolita who's hell-bent on getting free by killing her teacher! And he's the kind of guy who likes to do stuff for his friends! I mean, come one! He's went against two whole armies just to save two people in different situations!

And now that I've stopped ranting about assholes taking over my life (which I had bad experience of...) do NOT patronize me, do NOT sympathize me, and especially do NOT sass about what I do with this story!

...

...

Ok, I'm done.

On the other side of the news, I have bad news... the news of some asshole sneaking into my dad's office and stealing my laptop, along with my two flash drives that had all my story ideas and plot lines... and the rest of the chapters to this story... now that means one thing. I gotta start ALL over again...

... That fucking asshole... (Please excuse my language)

On the plus side, now I can renew the chapters and edit all the mistakes I did and replot things. That's gonna take some time though... So wish me luck and hope I get a new laptop to continue my work! Although, it's gonna take some time, so I might update a bit late...

Until next time!
