Chapter 2

At the school's yard, the students prepared to play volley for the P.E class. But Kuchiki Rukia could only watch them from the sideline.

Despite her sickness, the teacher still forced her to join the class, spouting nonsense about the class' union spirit.

Rukia was born with fragile health, she couldn't get too exhausted, otherwise, she might have to absent from the school a couple of days.

She saw the boys and the girls huddled up, noticing the pervert smirk on those boys, there was going to be another harassments, no doubt.

The game began, it played normally for a little while, then one of the boys slapped the ball, it landed hard on a girl's chest.

"Ah!" the girl screamed. Her name was Inoue Orihime, and that was her daily dose of perversion.

"Hey, do you want to die?!" her best friend, Arisawa Tatsuki, shouted in anger. She was going to the boy's side to beat up the culprit.

"Okay, calm down Tatsuki, boys, please grow up, it's not a man things to do..." the P.E teacher said, but he looked at Orihime's eer... prominent features with grinning eyes, obviously savoring the moment.

It's a damn joke, the boys often sexually harass her and the school did nothing, under the pretense of protecting school's reputation, they dismissed evil behavior as... childish joke.

Orihime herself was such a weak woman, she could have fought back, but she decided to say nothing, laughing it off like a fool.

Rukia shook her head in bitter smile, yeah, who was she to belittle other?

"Urgh..."

Rukia saw one of her classmates going down to her knees, she's covering her mouth like she's going to throw up.

"Hey, are you alright?" her friend said.

"Umm... my head feel light..." she said.

"Do you want to go the infirmary? I'll help you..."

"No, I'm okay by myself, you continue playing the game..."

"But..."

"It's okay, I'll take her!"

Rukia stood up immediately, she approached the girls.

"Rukia, are you sure?" the friend said.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm bored anyway, I need a reason to get away..." Rukia winked at them.

"Um, thanks Rukia."

"Thanks..."

Rukia supported the sick girl, they walked away slowly from the field.

"What's that on your leg?" Rukia noticed a small patch on the sick's girl leg.

"Uh... some drunkard bit me this morning... urgh, I have been feeling terrible since," she said.

"Huh, weird," Rukia mumbled, the world's kinda going crazy.

...

Ichigo ran after Takashi, who ran like a madman. Perhaps out of concern for Rei, or the idea he might not be able to protect her in time.

Still, they couldn't confirm what was exactly happened before, what's wrong with those people? Was the situation that bad?

They arrived at their class, Takashi slid hard the door and marched inside. Although they went inside from the back, the door was loud, so they were drawing the class' attention.

"Mr. Komuro and Mr. Kurosaki, not only you skipping my class, but also disturbing it? Have you not known shame?! I'll see two at the principal's office!!!" the class' teacher shouted. But it rung hollow on Takashi and Ichigo's ears.

Takashi went to Rei's chair without hesitation, he grabbed her hand and yanked it, forcing her to stand.

"Takashi, let me go!" Rei angrily said.

"Shut up, just come with me!" Takashi pulled her.

"No! I don't want!"

Ichigo understood why Takashi decided to simply force her to come, explaining the situation would take a lot of time, let alone a surmount of convictions, because he believed nobody would trust their words.

Ichigo didn't care about the ramblings noises from bystanders, but the problem was...

"Oi, Komuro, what the hell is this?" Hisashi left his seat.

"Okay, why don't you come with us too? We'll save a lot of time," Ichigo quickly stepped in front of Hisashi.

"Step away, Kurosaki, Komuro has no business with my girlfriend," Hisashi said.

"He does, she's his childhood friend, he cares for her life," Ichigo replied.

The instant Ichigo mentioned about 'Rei's life', the class became hectic, some even fantasized that Rei was hunted by an assassin.

Takashi kept pulling Rei, but the latter continued to struggle.

"Will you calm down? Just trust me on this!" Takashi irritably said.

"No, I won't, you're always like this, you don't care about me!"

"How can you say that?! I'm doing this for you!"

"Bullshit!"

"Alright, enough is enough!" Hisashi pushed Ichigo to the side. The latter got hit by a desk on his waist, while the pain was bearable, he annoyed him. Ichigo rushed and slammed Hisashi's back, almost making him fall to the floor if not for the support of the desks.

Hisashi glared at Ichigo with anger, then he went to him with a fist ready. Ichigo dodged to the side and hit Hisashi's forehead with his own. Taking advantage, Ichigo lifted Hisashi up before he slammed him to the floor, pinning him down.

The class became chaotic, some students had stood up, the teacher continuously screamed with red eyes.

"Hisashi!"

"Ichigo!"

"Go, go, take her! Leave this jerk with me!" Ichigo huffed.

Takashi grit his teeth, then he gave a nod.

"Come, Rei!"

"You're crazy?! I'm not going to leave-"

"I say come with me!" Takashi proceeded to slap Rei's cheek, the sound could be heard throughout the entire class room.

The class became silent as if all the world's attention was on Takashi and Rei.

"I'll explain to you once we are safe, for now, just trust and follow me, I promise this is not a joke," Takashi said.

"..." Rei didn't say anything, either she was in shock or she was terribly saddened.

Takashi didn't care for her feeling, he pulled her away from the class.

"Ichigo, to the observation club!" Takashi said before he and Rei leaving the class.

"Gotcha!" Ichigo struggled to keep Hisashi down, the guy was amazingly tough, no wonder he's Karate club's representative.

Still, it's not easy to break away once your body was pinned to the floor, either you have to overpower the other party, or...

"Let him go, Kurosaki!"

Two students grabbed Ichigo, he shook and hit them with his elbow, but there were too many that tried to stop him, eventually, they managed to separate Ichigo from Hisashi.

Hisashi glared at Ichigo with hate, however, he didn't matter to him, the guy left the class as soon as possible.

"Oi, come back here!" Ichigo desperately tried to catch him, but the other students kept him at bay.

If Hisashi would one-o-one Takashi, the latter would be down to his leg in seconds!

"The fuck guys, this is not your business, hell, you all should hide! There is accident at school!" Ichigo growled.

"Enough Mr. Kurosaki, you have disrespect me too much, this is intolerable, I don't care who you are or whose backing you, I'm going to have you kicked out from the school, mark my words!" the teacher hatefully said.

"Fine, this school is utter shit anyway!"

"You and you, help me take him to the principal, a society trash like him doesn't belong to our school, including that best friend of his!"

"Yes, teacher!"
