The Trouble with Love-games

Eventually, you are going to lose…

Hey guys! Time to embark on my first AU fic. Its set in the fictional university – seireitei. Ichigo is a rich brat, who got in through connections and a soccer scholarship. His lack of work ethic and hardcore party lifestyle see him failing, and needing a tutor to avoid permanent expulsion…

The pain pairing here will be ichiruki, but I will involve others as I fancy (or you may of course request, though please no yaoi!)

I'm basing the story kind of on my experience of university life this past year! I think that is all, so here goes!

[Oh yeah and I don't own bleach!]

…..

'Man!' thought Ichigo, 'What a day!' He found himself leaving the Dean's office and heading straight to the student bar, of course.

The spikey orange haired boy had awoken this morning, to find himself fully clothed, with a tie not belonging to him round his head, and only one shoe. His head was throbbing, and as he looked at the time, 11:36am, he knew he'd slept through ANOTHER seminar. He had then double parked his Bugatti Veyron, taking it out just to cross campus, in an attempt to make it before the end and apologize. He was told by his lecturer, that he was to see the Dean at 2pm to discuss his 'academic issues'. The meeting was not pleasant, and when he returned to his car, it had a giant fine under the window wipers.

'Yup' he thought, 'I so need a drink!'

He strode into the student bar, and thankfully, spotted some of his fellow sports stars at their usual high top table near the end of the bar. It was pretty posh, for a student bar, leather seats, dark wood tables, black, glistening marble counter. It also had a huge outdoor terrace that looked over campus at the back, which was beautiful and insanely popular during the summer. However it was currently the last week of January, and the wind was pretty biting.

Ichigo headed over to the group, and sat down by the guy on the end, who had bright red hair and a lot of tattoos. He clapped the guy heartily on the shoulder.

"Renji my man! What's up!"

"Hey Ichigo! Wondered why we hadn't seen you yet today, where you been at?"

Most of the group was now listening to the new arrival.

Around the table sat Izuru Kira and Hisagi Shuuhei, Ichigo's soccer team mates; Kenpachi Zaraki, Renji Abari and Ikkaku Madarame of the rugby team, plus Ikkaku's flatmate Yumichika; and a few of the cheerleaders, including Zaraki's girl Yachiru, Ohrihime Inoue, a good family friend of Ichigo's, Yoruichi Shihoein and Soi Fon.

"Mate, you would not believe the day I've had! I got called to the Dean's office for failing, and everything has just been utterly shit"

"Fuck" Said Ikkaku.

"That's awful Ichi!" remarked Ohrihime!

"Atta boy!" Exclaimed Zaraki, fist pumping the air.

"I tell you what, I'll get the next round lads, ladies, and Ichigo here is gona help me carry them so he can unload, and ready to come back and get wasted!"

"Sounds like a plan" Yoruichi said, raising her eyebrows at Ichigo. Soi Fon scowled.

"Shuun!" cried Renji, calling one of the bar manager's name for his attention. "I'll take another round as before, plus a double JD and coke for this sorry mess!"

Ichigo punched him in the arm, making Renji laugh.

"So what's up bro?"

"I'm failing pretty badly man, only passed one of my mid-terms, the Dean says I gotta take 'em all again at the end of next month or I'm out for good"

"Daaaaaamn that's a ton of bricks on your head for ya! Don't sweat it man, find some hot smart girl in your class to tutor you" He winked at him.

Shuunsei, the Philosophy post-grad student and bar manager, laughed at this remark.

"Come on now we both know any pretty girl he picks to tutor him is gonna end up being the one getting the lesson, only of quite a different nature, you sly dog"

"Ha, I'd say you're wrong, Shuun, but we all know I'd be lying! It's not my fault I'm so damn irresistible…"

Renji shook his head, Shuun laughed, and fist bumped Ichigo (he was quite the ladies man himself, and thought of being Ichigo much as he was as a playboy fresher).

By this point, Jyuushiro, the other bar manager, a post grad medic, had come to join in the conversation.

"Say Ichigo, you do law right?" He nodded, Jyuu continued "One of our bar assistants is a 1st year law student, perhaps she'd be willing to tutor you, I bet she'd be greateful for the money, and knowing her I doubt you'd be able to charm her into sleeping with you"

Renji watched as Shuun and Jyuu exchanged glances, then looked to him.

"Oh er, sounds like a challenge eh, Ichigo?"

"Bring it on bitches, challenge accepted,"

"Loser has to spend a Friday night in the bar as a naked waiter, unpaid!" Cried Shuun, Jyuu shook his head at his friend, as they handed the two freshers the round of drinks.
