Working with Isfelvic again. I want this story to go far.

Okay, so this first chapter may seem kinda rushed, but I wanted the important people, or most of them to be in this chapter. My intro's are to short usually. So...I took at least what would have been three chapters and made them into this first chapter. The next chapter will most likely be a little shorter, but it may seem just as rushed. I just hate having short chapters -.-

Anyways, I hope you like it.

AU! OOC!

I DON'T OWN BLEACH!

"But I don't want to." Complained a dark haired girl.

"To bad. It's something we have to do." A boy responded, turning his gold eyes on the girl with slight annoyance sparkling behind them.

The girl sighed. They stood in a study of a decent sized house. The girl wasn't all that tall, her dark hair was pulled back into a low long ponytail with a single gold hoop at the end and leaving her bangs free to frame her pale face. She wore a white dress shirt with gold painted buttons and plain black slacks with black athletic sneakers.

"Look Shaolin, we have to move. Aunty has a good job, she's gunna send us to great schools, but for her to do it we have to move to Japan." The boy stated, calming. His hair was much the way 'Shaolin's' was, only his lock of hair was braided and shorter and his bangs were much more untamed, doing nothing to compliment his own pale face. He was dressed in a royal blue and white argyle sweater vest with a short sleeved white shirt underneath with plain white jeans and blue slip on shoes.

Shaolin sighed again. "Don't try that logical sweet talk Ggio." The boy laughed and sat in a large cushioned chair. "I'm hardly using sweet talk." He responded easily. Shaolin just rolled her eyes and huffed.

Looking out a window and into the front lawn, Shaolin saw movers packing up their things. "I know this is good for my father." She paused for a moment. Ggio looked up at her curiously. "But we've lived in China our whole lives. It's going to be awkward in Japan."

Ggio chuckled. "Bet your glad we took all these lessons on how to speak and write Japanese now aren't you?" Shaolin just rolled her eyes.

Ggio was Shaolin's cousin. But they considered each other siblings. His parents died when he was young so he hardly remembered them enough to be bothered by it. Though Shaolin's father assured him that they loved him very much and he returned it. They died in a car crash and his uncle was more than happy to take him in. He was always there for Shaolin, who was a year older than him, but he stuck up for her anyways.

Shaolin nodded. "Now I am."

There was a knock on the study room's heavy doors. Ggio called for the person to come in. A tall, thin, balding man came in. "It's time to leave. The lord has just finished setting up everything for the plane ride."

Ggio stood and followed his cousin out of the room.

The car ride to the airport was quite silent. Ggio sat looking out the window, sitting beside Shaolin. Who was doing the same thing, though she was looking much more miserable and scared. As if the world were crashing in around her.

They sat across from a golden haired, blue eyed woman in a black business suit and a blue silk tie and a ebony haired woman with pale gray eyes who was dressed in a slim black skirt and fitting blue V-neck blouse.

No, Shaolin technically didn't have a father. But she was very like the blonde woman she called father. She'd asked how once. Her 'father' told her they'd fused the two eggs together and only used the parts of the sperm DNA that'd make certain they'd have a daughter. And there was Shaolin. Her 'father' was just that rich she guessed.

The blonde business woman saw the look on her daughter's face. "I know this is tough Soi. But you'll get a chance to see a new part of the world and make new friends." She smiled calmingly.

The teen still sulked. "I'm seventeen father, please don't talk to me like I'm still ten." She snipped.

The woman frowned. Knowing she was only upset because they had to move. "I know you're upset with me. But things will get better. I promise." Her smile returned.

'Soi', tried to stay upset with her father but couldn't, she never could. "I don't want to move. I don't want to make new friends and go to a new school." She mumbled. She ignored her cousin's soft snickers.

"If you only kept going through life with just the people you've gotten comfortable with, you'll eventually get bored and leave that life behind anyways. It's better to do it now." The blonde smiled. Soi couldn't help but return it, she was a daddy's girl. Well…not technically daddy…but still.

"As surprising as it is, she's right." Soi's mother spoke, with a small sarcastic smile.

The blonde blanched for a moment and recovered quickly, taking her wife's hand and smiling at her charmingly. "My dear sweet Jun, you're ever the charmer." She patted her wife's hand and laughed when the woman blushed.

"Annchi!" Jun half whined, and smacked her wife's arm. The blonde winced and laughed easily.

Soi and Ggio laughed and the rest of the ride to the airport was spent in silence.

Soi slept on the plane to Japan. As did Ggio. Jun woke them up when they landed. "Come on, wake up." She called and ruffled their hair. Soi grumbled and rubbed her eyes, standing slowly. She followed Annchi off the plane with all the others.

Annchi took her daughter's shoulder and led her along as Jun did the same for Ggio.

Paying dull attention to the passing colors and flashing faces, Soi barely noticed they were at their new house. She was to tired and to upset from leaving her home to care.

Annchi and Jun showed them their rooms.

Soi lay on her new bed and stared up at her new ceiling. She frowned. "I don't like you." She mumbled.

"I'm sure it doesn't like you either." Soi looked over to see her cousin. "What do you want Ggio?"

He raised his hands in mock defense. "Cool it." He stated calmly. "I know this is tough, don't think I haven't had a hard time with this too."

Soi sat up. "You have a funny way of showing it."

The boy sighed. "If we're both upset then what good will it do? One of us has to keep our head."

He did have a point. Soi couldn't argue with him. She just shrugged and fell back on her bed.

"We start school tomorrow Soi. I saw some pictures. It looks pretty fancy. Even better than the one we used to attend." Ggio stated. "And the uniforms looks pretty cool too." He looked over at his cousin as he sat on the bed. "You gunna wear the girls uniform?"

"Don't be stupid." Soi hadn't worn a girls uniform since grade school, and only for the first year. "But it seems a little to early to start school, we just got here."

"You know how Aunty is. She plans everything ahead. We've been set to enroll for days now, and Aunty doesn't like to waste time." Ggio shrugged.

Soi sighed and rolled onto her side. "…I know." She didn't think she was ready to jump into Japanese activates just yet. But maybe it would help.

Maybe.

Ggio and Soi sat in the principals office of their new school. Or rather,… Academy.

Ggio wore the white version of the boys uniform. A white jacket with a black emblem with lilies, and plain white slacks and dress shoes. He found it annoyingly plain.

Soi wore the variety uniform. A blue jacket with the same emblem on Ggio's jacket, with black slacks and black dress shoes with white soles. She wore a blue tie with a black stripe.

"Please enjoy your tour of the Academy. That'll be your first day. Just get a feel for the buildings." The old man spoke patiently.

"Thank you head master Yamamoto." The teens spoke together and stood, bowing to the man before taking their leave.

"This is a pretty big campus." Ggio observed as he and Soi walked the halls of the Academy.

Sokyoku Academy, it was a large campus, on a large hill. And they had to stay there, only able to go home on weekends or on vacations. The girls and boys dorms were on separate sides of the hill.

Ggio glanced around the hall they were walking through. All the attention was going to,… Soi? He gave his cousin a deadpan stare as they walked. "Lucky you." He mumbled.

His cousin gave him a confused look before glancing around. "Oh,…" She murmured as she saw the stares. "What about it?"

He shook his head. "No, nothing." He mumbled and they continued to class. Soi smiled at her cousin. He was upset. He liked being the center of attention.

In China, he'd been a rare sight. With his midnight hair that was sleek and shiny and so well done, his fair skin and bright gold eyes. Most girls there considered him Charming. He got used to the attention at a young age. It never bothered his original sense of justice, but he still like having eyes on him.

Here, Soi was rare. With her elegant and easy Chinese looks. Her hair so dark it almost looked blue.

Though she was clearly not the rarest of sights. As the two got closer to homeroom, they spotted a swarm of girls and a few odd boys here and there bundled into the doorway.

Ggio made a face and stepped in front of his cousin as he made their way in. That was one thing he couldn't stand about crowds. When they stood and stared at something for several long minutes, hours even, and got no where with what they wanted.

Soi immediately saw why they were all staring. There was no other sight to see inside the class but the teen that caught her eyes. With her bright and stand-outish violet shock of hair. She was talking to a long blonde haired teen with a slightly scruffy looking face. His hair was tied back into a high ponytail, while the girl he was talking to had her own slightly lower.

Soi stood looking out the window as Ggio went to talk to the teacher. She didn't want to seem like the others to stare and gawk. But she felt the tug at the backs of her eyes, wanting to get a closer better look. She felt an itching in her fingers. The blonde boy, she wanted to draw him, she knew that.

He had that classic good look of that awkward friend of the hero in that fairytale your mother would read you to sleep to. He was the character the artist always drew laughing. Soi wanted to draw his face and etch it to memory.

Ggio walked back over. "We're in the back. Come on, class is starting soon." He led the way and took his seat, Soi taking the one beside him.

She still felt the tug at the back of her eyes towards the violet haired girl…if she was a girl. From what she could see she had a feminine shape, but there were some males with that too.

The violet hair teen turned when the blonde nodded to them, a smile lightening his features even more. Golden eyes met her own dark grey ones. She was indeed a female. Her skin was dark, her golden orbs were covered and protected by thick dark lashes that almost looked fake. Her bangs were a bit messy, but combed back on either side to apparently cover her ears.

She smiled at Soi. "Hi there. You're the new kids then?"

Soi nodded, resisting the infectious pull on her lips.

"Nice to meet ya." The teen stood and walked over (two desks away). "I'm Yoruichi Shihoin. That goof-off over there is my buddy Kisuke Urahara. You two are?" The female was blunt. Very blunt. And Soi couldn't call her a girl because she not only towered over her, she was also quite accentuated.

"I'm Shaolin Fon. This is my cousin Ggio Vega. But please just call me Soi."

The teen grinned. "Soi, eh? I like that." Her golden eyes rose to meet Ggio's, who up till then had been used to being the only one he knew with gold eyes. "Nice to meet you too Ggio."

He nodded, face stoic. "Nice to meet you to Ms. Shihoin."

Soi sighed quietly. When her cousin used formalities it was a clear sign of dislike.

Yoruichi laughed. "I'm not in line to run my family's company till I'm through college, so please don't call me Ms." She waved his comment off and looked back at Soi. "Guess I'll be seeing more of you two, eh?"

Soi looked to the front of the class then back at her. "It would seem so. As we have the same class and all." She gave in and let off a small smile.

Yoruichi balked and scratched the back of her neck, Soi swore she saw a small blush of embarrassment. "Yeah. Heh, duh." She shuffled her feet. "Talk to you two later then." Quickly recovering from her slight lapse, she headed back over to her friend, who waved before going back to their conversation.

Soi looked at Ggio. "You're such a jerk sometimes."

He huffed and looked to the front of the room.

Soi rolled her eyes and let the situation drop. For all his good qualities and his justice, he had a lot of reject able one too. 'Like his pride.' She thought, huffing again.

The bell rang and the rest of the class clamored in. The others that had been staring, wandered off with disappointed looks on their faces.

At lunch Soi and Ggio walked through the line for their food. Soi noticed Yoruichi and Kisuke were only a few students behind them.

Ggio took a bowl of mixed ramen and Soi got the same, only smaller with a salad. They nabbed a table near the back.

"What do you think so far Shaolin?" Ggio asked curiously as he pried his chopsticks apart.

"For a campus like this,…one we have to live at…it's honestly alright. It doesn't look like we'll have any real trouble here." She pulled her own chopsticks apart and glanced around. "And stop calling me Shaolin, it used to be endearing, now it's just annoying."

He shrugged but nodded. "What ever you say Soi. So what about those two we met earlier?"

"What about them?" She nibbled at her noodles to get a taste. Deciding she liked it she took more.

"They were kind of annoying."

"No they weren't. And you only met Yoruichi. You just don't like her because she has the same color eyes as you." She observed his increasing glare with amusement. "Well it's true. To be the center of attention you have to be original, right? And if someone has something like you…it defeats the purpose of having the spotlight."

He snapped his chopsticks at her menacingly, flashing a fang. "You know to much."

She just smiled and continued eating.

Until a tray clattered softly beside her own. She looked up. It was Yoruichi. She sucked the last noodle she'd been eating into her mouth. Yoruichi laughed softly at the sight. "Nice to see you again." She glanced at Ggio. "Are these seats taken?" Kisuke walked up beside her.

Ggio nodded and Soi kicked him in the shin. He jerked, sniffled, and tried to keep the tears from his eyes as he glared even harder at his cousin. "No." She stated easily, moving her foot back to her own space.

Yoruichi sat beside her, her try packed with two large bowls of noodles swimming in amber liquid with cooked half eggs and other decorative items over the top. Soi assumed it was chicken flavored.

Kisuke sat beside Ggio with a decent sized bowl of his own. Only it was filled with rolls. Ggio eyed him oddly but continued eating his own meal.

"So how do you two like our campus so far?" Yoruichi asked casually, taking a sip from her drink first.

"It's alright from what I've seen." Soi answered.

"Mm hm. How long are you staying?"

"How long have you been?"

"Answering my question with another question? Didn't know they did that anymore."

"…"

"Haha! This academy has grades 7-12. Kisuke and I have been here since eighth. It's our tenth year."

"You've been here for three years…you never get sick of it?"

"There are always gunna be days you wanna blow this place to smithereens. But all in all it's pretty cool here. Lot's of stuff to do."

"Any bad apples?"

"I'll show you who to avoid."

"Thanks."

"No prob."

Soi already felt comfortable and she didn't even know this girl.

"You wanna ask somethin?" Yoruichi looked up at her with a smile as she swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

"Uh,…"

"You were staring, so I figured you wanted to ask me something. Am I wrong?"

"No." Soi shook her head, her golden hoop lightly thudding against her spine.

"So…?" The violet haired teen raised her brows expectantly.

"How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

"You're from around here?"

"Born and raised."

"What kind of business does your family own?"

"Corporate funding, branches of lawyer offices and fashion magazines. But specifically the job I'll be getting is the chief. I have to watch over and help run all the braches of branches that other companies use our company for. All in all…it's a tough job." She laughed.

"Sounds like it."

"What's your family do Kisuke?" Ggio asked suddenly curious.

The blonde had a moment of surprise before giving a lazy smile. "Book publishing and editing."

"Brand?"

"We own our own and we have a large share of a company in America."

"Oh." Ggio nodded, going back to his food.

Yoruichi looked back to Soi. "What about you two?"

"My parents run and own a clothing line and a store chain of cameras. My mother has a share dipped into eBay too." Soi explained. She'd have to take all that over when she was through college.

"And Amazon." Ggio mumbled.

"Yeah but hardly anyone goes on there around here. Or so I thought. Maybe not." Soi shrugged.

They finished their lunch in silence.

After they'd taken their trays up, they returned to the table. Yoruichi sat closer to Soi. "Okay, your 101 on Sokyoku community campus." She grinned and looked out at the café.

"So…" She pointed to the table at the far end. "At the end you've got your nerds and dorks and the such. Most are studying to be medics." She moved to the next. "You got your norms. All the plain people that are above nerds and dorks but are still to school for cool." And the next. "The jocks. Just a bumbling bunch of meat heads with huge amounts of pride. They're helpful if you dote on their fighting skill."

Soi and Ggio paid close attention and nodded after every explanation. Kisuke had moved out of the way.

"And then there are the pretty girls that think they're so hot, but have zero brain capacity." She glared at a teen with orange hair and large breasts. "The leader of that squad, which by the way are the cheerleaders, is Rangiku. She's dating the schools shrimp and smartest cool guy Hitsugaya, he's in a crowd of his own. Total loner." She explained. "Rangiku is a bitch around her squad but she's the friendliest person alive when she's alone." She moved to the next group. "Those are the cool loners. Hitsugaya isn't there, he eats in the square. But the emo black haired boy with the scarf is Byakuya. He's a sarcastic jackass, all he cares about is his sister and his fiancé."

Soi nodded again.

"And then there are the punks." Yoruichi pointed to a table just before theirs. Every group took up at least five to six of the round tables. "Their leader is Kukaku Shiba. She's a good friend of mine. If you need me to put in a good word I will." Yoruichi grinned.

Soi glanced at Ggio, who rolled his eyes, making her smile.

"And then!" Yoruichi finally seemed to be at an end. "The most awesome people you'll ever meet!" She pointed between Kisuke and herself.

Soi laughed at that. Yoruichi grinned. The bell rang.

The day was over. Ggio waved as he jogged off to his dorm. Soi walked off to her dorm.

The girls dorm was called the Diamond dorm. The boys, Strawberry.

Soi frowned as she stepped into the building. After school was over, the dorms were open and the students were free to come and go as they pleased. Even off center if they had permission from the head master.

The RA's of the dorm, there were three. One for each floor.

Soi's RA was Nanao Ise. A stiff woman who always carried a book. But she took no nonsense.

"So you're our new comer. Welcome." The woman smiled. "I hope you enjoy you're time here." She handed Soi a key and stood from her desk. "Stay out of trouble and we'll get along quite fine. Follow me please." She walked out of the office, Soi followed.

At the center of each floor was the RA's office. The two large rooms in front of said office were the lounges.

"Your belongings were received just this morning. Everything is on your bed. Although security has searched them for anything dangerous."

Soi rolled her eyes. Just great.

"You have a two man room. Your roommate has already been here for quite some time. She's honest. You should get along."

They stopped at room one on the hall to the right. "Here you are. I'll give you a run down of the rules and the need-to-know tomorrow after school. Or she will. Have a good night." She waved and walked back to her office.

Soi tried her key, the door was unlocked. She removed her key and opened the door.

"Yo."

Looking to the bed closest to the door, she spotted that woman, Kukaku Shiba.

"So you're my new roommate. Nice to meet cha!" She grinned. Her hair was wild, her right eyebrow was pierced, so was her lower lip. And her ears, right at the top, with bars. She had a sleeve tattoo on her right arm. And another on her right. It was on the inside of her forearm. A little swirl with the end running out to her wrist.

She was, by definition, the exact image of a punk. As in if you looked up the word, her picture would be there.

Soi blinked. "Hi."

"Your legs broken or somethin? This is your room, come in and close the door." She waved her hand dismissively.

Closing the door quietly, Soi eyed her bed. It held three boxes. One was clothes, the other was more personal effects, she assumed the third was her snacks and her games. The biggest box was the one in the middle.

"Want some help?" Kukaku swung her leather clad legs over the edge of the bed. Her bare feet padded onto the shaggy carpet that was an ugly red.

Soi pulled open the box tops to see what was what. "Yes please." She looked over at her closet. They each had one closet and one dresser. She took out some clothes and tucked them in the bottom drawer.

Kukaku looked around the box, it was full of snacks. "Soda. Juice. Soups. This can all go in the fridge."

"You can keep that in here?"

"Only in the two man rooms. The four man rooms have to share the community one." Kukaku grinned and took the snacks to the fridge.

When Soi was through putting everything away, she finally took out the last objects in the snack box. "Can you help please?" She glanced over at Kukaku who was sipping a soda. Said punk stood and looked over her shoulder.

"Nice TV set." She snickered as Soi stepped to the side, she reached her ink coated arms in and pulled it out gently. "You want it on the desk?"

"It's kinda the only place to set it." Soi smirked.

"Witty."

After a shower and cleaning up, Soi sat on her bed, almost to tired to function. She ran a towel over her damp hair. She wore a plain black shirt with a bee buzzing on the left shoulder and yellow shorts with a black stripe.

"So how was your first day kid?" Kukaku stretched out on her bed, with her baggy grey sweat pants and her dull worn red shirt with a firework design going off.

"My name is Soi."

"I know."

"Good." Soi huffed lightly. She hung her towel on the back of the desk chair. Her TV and her game system sat back on the desk and silent.

Soi slid back on her bed and slipped under the red covers. She hugged her old bumblebee stuffed toy to her chest.

Kukaku stayed above the covers and turned onto her side facing her new roommate. The only light in the room filtered in from the window at the end of Soi's bed. "Did you know this place is haunted?"

Soi looked at her oddly. "What?"

"This campus. It's haunted. Things happen at night." She smirked. Soi felt a twinge of nerves uncurl in her belly. "Strange sounds, weird sightings on the grounds at night. There have even been disappearances."

"Really?" The nerves in her belly sparked curiosity.

Kukaku nodded, her smirk fading. "Don't wander outside after dark Soi. The RA's don't watch the back stairs. It's locked to keep anyone from getting in. The only place you can get to from the back stairs is outside. So we're safe…for the most part. But trust me…don't wander outside."

Soi glanced over at the window. Was it locked?

"For your own good." Kukaku rolled over to face the wall.

Haunted…just great…her parents sent her and her cousin to a haunted campus.

She shivered as the building creaked in the wind. She curled up and tucked her head under her blankets.

Just great.
