Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach and High School DxD

It was a seemingly normal Sunday morning as the light from the sun streamed in through the small opening of the blinds coverring the window. One orange-haired teenage boy in the name of Ichigo Kurosaki groaned in discontent as his eyes flickered open very briefly which closed almost immediately after as they were hit by the beam of light.

Grunting slightly, the eldest child of the Kurosaki family slowly sat up in bed, wiping the sleepiness off his eyes with one hand in the process. He continued to sit there without moving as he thought of the eventful few days before this day which led to him being expelled from Karakura High and enrolled to one of the most prestigious schools in Japan, Kuoh Academy.

"Sigh, guess today's the day I'm moving out of here huh?" Ichigo said to himself.

Its been almost three weeks since he regained his long-lost Shinigami powers and defeated Ginjo Kugo, and just as he thought he would live a normal life again, he got into a fight with a few thugs who wanted revenge in the school premises. And of course with his track record of picking fights, it had finally reached the boiling point of the principal of Karakura High. He was called to the office as was told he's expelled on the spot despite Ichigo's well-above average grades. It was a tough decision to make but the principal had no choice. Ichigo was pissed at that, but rules are rules. He begrudgingly accepted the decision, walked back to his class, grabbed his bag, and left not even stopping when his friends called out to him.

It was such a coincidence that on that same day, as Ichigo was thinking what he was going to do next, a letter arrived specifically for him. He opened the letter, and imagine the total surprise on his face as he read that his application to enrol into Kuoh Academy has been accepted. Ichigo had totally forgotten about his application due to all the stuff that happened which led to him regaining his powers.

After the Winter War, Ichigo lost his powers due to using the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshou against the traitor Sosuke Aizen. And due to that, he has finally gained the life he had yearned for, a peaceful life as a normal high school student without the capability of seeing any ghosts. His grades had also dropped due to the war but he's still above average. Well as a high school student, you got to think about your future right? He heard that Kuoh Academy had changed into a co-ed school not long ago as it was originally and all-girls private school. When such a prestigious school is open to enrolment, how can you not test your luck? So before the start of the new school year, he applied for the academy without telling anyone. He didn't know if he was going to get in so he didn't bother saying anything.

"GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOORNIIIIIIIIING, IIIIIIIICHIGOOOOOOOOO!"

As the Substitute Shinigami was going to get up and get ready to move out, his eccentric father Isshin Kurosaki came flying through the window aiming to kick his son but failed to do so as the orang-haired teen ducked just in time for his father to fly over him and hit the wall head on. A part of him was glad to finally move out, just to get away from his annoying father's antics.

"Owwww," Isshin groaned as soon as he got up like nothing had happened and crouched down ready to pounce for another attack on his son, "Excellent reflexes my son! You dodged my Morning Rise Surprise Attack technique-"

"Shut up you old fart," Ichigo interrupted as he took off his white singlet, revealing his toned and muscular physique, "It's my last day at home and you're still being a pain in the ass first thing in the morning."

"Oh yeah, you're moving out to Tokyo to attend Kuoh Academy," Isshin stated before going back to his comedic nature as he comically cried out loud, "Oh Masaki! Our baby boy has grown up and is leaving the household! He's going to a formerly all-girls school. Oh imagine the number of new daughters we're going to have! And-!"

BAM!

A foot slammed onto his face courtesy of Ichigo, who has a large tick mark on his forehead and his face red out of embarrassment and anger, before he stomped him onto the ground with full force, his heel pressing into him making him groan out in pain.

"Quit with your perverted thoughts dammit! Man I'm so glad I'm moving out of here so I can get some needed peace and quiet without you annoying me and pissing me off for a change!"

"What was that?!"

"Don't "what was that?" me!"

And so starts another round of maybe final bout of fighting between father and son to destroy such a peaceful morning. Oh how I pity their neighbours.

...

Scene change, inside train.

Ichigo sighed in relief as he plopped onto an empty seat in the train that was inbound to Tokyo. He had packed up all his necessary stuff into his bag before he said his goodbyes. There were a few teary eyes in his group of friends especially Orihime and Keigo as all of them wished him well at Kuoh. Saying goodbyes to his sisters was much tougher. Yuzu was a total mess as she kept crying in his arms while Karin was happy for him, even telling him to introduce his girlfriend to them when he got one, which made Ichigo blush and lost his fuse.

Regarding his status as a Substitute Shinigami to protect Karakura Town, Urahara Kisuke told him not to worry about it as he said he will be able to deal with them for the time being until a competent Soul Reaper is given jurisdiction over the town in his absence. Ichigo was glad to hear that as he wasn't impressed with that afro-haired Shinigami to patrol the town. He's just too damn idiotic. What was his name? Imoyama-something? Meh, not like he cared about the name anyway.

During his journey, he kept looking out at the window as his thoughts wandered on how eventful and totally full of madness his life is as a teenager attending high school. From his ability to see ghosts to him being the Hero of the Winter War, it ain't a life aN average teenager wants to live in, even though it sounds cool. He may not get the peaceful life he had yearned for, but he was grateful to have the power to protect his precious ones. But now moving out of Karakura to a new place in Tokyo, life there could be peaceful at last.

"Attention! We are about to stop at Tokyo Station." a female voice announced over the PA System. He sighed once more before he stood up from his seat and grabbed the bag that was between his legs and placed it over his shoulder before walking to the exit of the train. He stepped off the train into the busy station and looked around, wondering where the hell he should go. His question was answered as his stomach rumbled, craving for food. Looking at his watch, he realized that it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. "First thing first," he said to himself, "Let's get some lunch." And with that, he set off looking for a decent restaurant to eat.

After having his lunch at a simple ramen stand, he set off looking for accommodation. It wasn't long before he found the perfect place to live in. The apartment he rented was decent. It has a bedroom which have a queen-sized bed, a decent living room with a 21-inch TV and a well-equipped kitchen. All for that for 95000 yen per month and it's within 15 minutes walking distance from where Kuoh Academy is. It was worth the money.

It was already close to night time after he bought groceries to fill up the empty kitchen, cleaned up the slightly dusty apartment and unpacked his stuff. Not taking a single rest after arriving here at Tokyo, fatigue washed over him instantly as he slumped onto his bed, without bothering to have a shower or get changed. He even decided to skip dinner as sleep slowly took over.

...

"Oh shit! I'm gonna be late on my fucking first day!" And that backfired on Kurosaki Ichigo as he ran towards his new school. He had totally forgotten to set the alarm before he slept. He woke up feeling disorientated and was confused why the alarm didn't set off. Imagine his shock when he saw the time, which was 25 minutes left until class starts. After having a quick shower, wore his new school uniform and placed a piece of bread between his teeth, he ran off to his school without stopping. There's no way in hell he will be late on his first day.

After what feels like hours of running, he finally reached the school gates. Regaining his breath and wiping the sweat off his forehead, he exhaled a sigh of relief as he checked his watch, stating that there were 10 minutes left till class starts. Before he enter the school premises, he looked himself over. The black blazer consisting of white accents lay open, not bothering to have it buttoned up, his white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar was tucked into his black pants and he wore a pair of brown dress shoes to finish it off. Ichigo had to admit, he looked pretty good.

Setting his trademark scowl on his face, shoving a hand in his pocket and adjusting his book bag over his shoulder, he walked through the school gate and enter the school premises, not paying attention to the murmurs and the stares from other students that was directed at him.

After he reached the main office and received his time table, Ichigo headed off towards his classroom. This time Ichigo noticed the looks he was getting, jealous looks from the male students while the female students stared at him with red faces. This was quite new to the strawberry, as students in Karakura High used to cower in fear when he walked past, even though he did absolutely nothing. The attention he got here at Kuoh was different to what he got at Karakura. Ignoring the looks he was getting, he looked down at his paper and then back up at the class signs.

"Let's see, so my class is 3-A..." Ichigo passed by many of the other students that were in hallway and soon arrived at the classroom door, just in time as the bell rings. "So this is it huh?" Fixing his slightly messy uniform, he sighed once more before he knocked on the classroom door a couple of times and waited for it to open. It wasn't long before the door creaked open to reveal a woman, whom Ichigo assumed was the teacher.

"Ah, you must be the new student I was told about," The woman said with excitement as she gave a friendly smile,"I'm Mrs. Komiya, your new home room teacher. Please, come in!" the teacher said as she moved out of the door way and gestured the orange haired boy to enter the room.

Ichigo gave a quick nod before he walked in, and immediately found himself to the center of attention. All of the students in the room focused their eyes solely on him before breaking out into murmurs and hushed whispers. He chose to tune them out instead as he looked around the room. The first thing Ichigo noticed was that the classroom had no boys and full of girls. Not surprising to him as the academy just turned co-ed a couple of years ago. Another thing that stood out to him was a female that was sitting around the center of the classroom. His eyes widened slightly and a slight blush came to his cheeks as he looked at her, this student was beautiful.

She had a buxom young figure with a light skin tone and her eyes were a blue-green color. But what instantly caught his attention was her long, crimson red hair, with a single hair strand sticking out from the top and a few bangs that covered her forehead and side bangs framing her face. The only time he had seen a hair color like that was with Renji but hers was slightly different, like it was more of crimson than red in colour. Ichigo couldn't help but stare at the woman, sure he had seen beautiful women before but this one takes the cake.

"I have good news everyone!" the teacher gathered everyone's attention, including Ichigo's as he snapped out of his thoughts and pulled his eyes away from the crimson-haired woman. "We have a new transfer student in our class!" She said before turning to the orange haired boy and handed him a piece of chalk. "Please, introduce yourself."

Said person nodded as he turned around to face the blackboard and proceeded to write his name on it. After he is done he turned around and made his formal introduction to the class.

"Yo, nice to meet you all. Name's Ichigo Kurosaki and I hope we could get along." the strawberry introduced himself with his scowl in place.

Most of the girls in the classroom blushed and some squealed as they noted how sexy his low and husky voice is, combining with his bad boy aura. Standing at 181cm tall with spiky orange hair, sharp, cool, but not cold, brown eyes, that scowl which seemed to fit him so well, lightly tanned skin and a lean, toned body, Kurosaki Ichigo could only be one of the very few handsome boys in the school. Unlike the most popular boy in the school, Yuuto Kiba, who had the look of a bishounen, Ichigo was the epitome of a handsome bad boy.

The teacher noted the reactions of her students and hummed happily, "Alright then! Kurosaki-san, why don't you take your seat, it's right next to Gremory-san at the window." She said as she pointed towards an empty seat at the back near the window which was next to the crimson-haired woman that caught his attention, Ichigo nodded his head and walked silently towards his seat.

It wasn't until he sat down that he finally felt it. His eyes went slightly wide as he felt the reiryoku of the beautiful woman known to him as Gremory next to him. It doesn't feel human yet it doesn't feel like a Shinigami or Arrancar either. Her reiryoku felt dark but he sense no malevolent intent from it. Plus, her reiryoku was at a level of a highly-capable lieutenant.

What's more, he felt and identified two more students in his class that had similar reiryoku signatures as hers. One was a young woman with a buxom figure with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair was tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. The other was a young bespectacled woman with a slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. Both are also at least at the level of a lieutenant, making him raising a hand and rubbing his forehead in irritation.

"Why am I always attracting weird stuff?," the orange-haired Shinigami inwardly groaned, "Maybe life here ain't gonna be peaceful after all." he concluded as he pushed all those thoughts away and focus on the lecture, not noticing as the crimson-haired woman gave him a glance from the corner of her eye.

...

Ichigo had never been so glad to hear to bell ring. It was only lunchtime and he was already tired as he rubbed his temples. He understood why Kuoh Academy was one of the best high schools in Japan. The classes at Karakura High was totally different than the ones at Kuoh. Comparing those two classes is equivalent to comparing heaven and earth. No contest. Plus his stomach had been begging for food badly, probably due to him having just a single piece of bread this morning.

Getting up of his desk with a stretch, he shoved his left hand into his pocket, walked out of the class and towards the cafeteria to get some food. Still unfamiliar with the school, he got lost a few times before finally reaching the cafeteria. After buying a sandwich, he took the chance to walked around and explore the school while eating.

Ichigo got to admit, this school was on a whole different level. The facilities here were flawless and top-class. Looking around the hallways he was walking on, he felt like he was walking on an castle of some sorts. Heck even the sandwich he was eating tasted better than the food at Karakura High. As he stopped walking, he looked out of the window and marvelled at how beautiful the front entrance was, where a water fountain stood at the center of the entrance. His lips curled slighty upwards into a small smile as he never thought he would go through a school day in peace, without any interruptions.

'This feels nice,' he thought as continued to look outside the window while he finished the last few bites of his sandwich. 'No hollows to deal with, no gangsters came looking for me to piss me off. It may be a little boring but this is a good change of pace." Then he inwardly sighed as he added, "Well, it may be temporary but I'll enjoy it while it lasts."

After finishing the last of his sandwich, he then proceeded to walk towards the back entrance and out to the large clearing to breathe in some fresh air, hands tucked into his pockets as he enjoyed the sights and sounds of the school.

At least he would have had it not for the fact that another sound caught his attention. It was a very familiar sound, one he had heard so many times before when Keigo and Kon were reading their porn mags.

It was the sound of perverted giggling.

His scowl deepened as he walked towards where the giggling came from. After a few moments, he found three boys peeking through a small hole of the wall, each giggling rather perversely and were wiping away small trails of blood from their noses, well only two were looking while the third was trying to move them to see. Seeing the scene before him, he resisted the urge to facepalm. Of course this situation would happen. Considering the school just went co-ed a few years ago, it won't be long before perverts enrol this school just to satisfy their unnatural lust.

Ichigo had explored enough of the school to guess that this was the Female Kendo Club's changing room. Seeing them peeping without any shame irked the orange-haired teen a hell lot. They reminded him of Keigo, Kon and even Honshou, particularly due to her obsession towards Inoue's boobs. He had caught Kon do that stuff a lot and he usually put him in his place. He silently walked towards the three, careful not to make a sound as he stopped when he stood directly behind them.

...

Hyoudou Issei was trying to move one of his two friends, Matsuda and Motohama to the side as he tried to peek into the Female Kendo Club's changing room. He was a 17 year old high school student of average height with short brown hair and light brown eyes. He wore the same standard academy uniform as everyone else who went to Kuoh Academy, though he also wore a red undershirt and blue sneakers. Along with Matsuda and Motohama, they were infamously known in Kuoh Academy as the Perverted Trio.

Peeping on the kendo club as they got changed in the girls locker room. Just looking at all that lovely, female flesh, the soft, milky skin, and the incredible range of breast sizes was enough to make him and the other two perverts nearly cream themselves. But currently Issei couldn't experience that pleasure yet as his two friends hogged the peeping hole to themselves.

"Muruyama's boobs are so big!" Matsuda whispered loudly with glee.

"She's 82-70-81." Motohama added.

"Katase has great legs!"

"She's 78.5-69-79."

"Such a miracle that I found this spot during PE!" Matsuda stated as he and Motohama continued to hog the peeping hole by themselves, totally ignoring Issei's pleas to let him peep, not noticing the presence of a scowling orange-haired strawberry standing beside them.

"Oi you three," said man spoke with an edge, as the Perverted Trio froze simultaneously and slowly turned around in fear, which only grew as they recognized the one that caught them red handed was the new transfer student, and new enemy of all boys in the school, who had crossed his arms and was scowling deeply. This however was not what scared them as a dark aura seemed to flow around him. Before they could run away, Ichigo start to speak, "Question no.1: What is behind that wall? Yes! You with the bald head!"

Matsuda stammered as he looked left and right towards Issei and Motohama, who were shaking uncontrollably. He had no choice but to tell the truth as he nervously stuttered, "Um... uh... this is the Female Kendo Club's changing room, there are girls changing clothes behind there-"

"ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!" Ichigo roared as he threw a powerful kick at Matsuda's face, making him fall onto the ground unmoving and made Issei and Motohama jaw-dropped at his strength.

"M-Matsuda!" Issei called out.

"And you! The one with the brown hair! Answer me!" Ichigo roared at Issei which made he took a step back in fear, "What were you three doing at that hole on the wall over there?"

"W-Well... w-we were peeping at the girls that were changing-"

"You disgusting lechers!" Ichigo growled as he threw multiple punches on Issei's and Motohama's face, making them screamed in pain as they gingerly held their face. The trio looked up and trembled in fear as fire seemed to emit out from the back of the new transfer student as he glared at them, "You guys remind me of Kon, or maybe worse! I dare you to do that again! Or else you could kiss your balls goodbye!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!" the three of them comically hugged together in fear, not wanting to lose their family jewels before they instantly got up and ran away, not wanting to know who's this 'Kon' he mentioned, "We're so sorry!"

As Ichigo watched them ran for their lives, he dusted himself as he sighed and started to walk away, "Man, I think I scare the shit out of them, yet I got a feeling this won't be the last time of its occurence-"

"Kurosaki-senpai?"

"Um?" Ichigo heard his name called out before he could go any further. He turned around to see a group of Kendo girls with a shinai each in their hands. They had heard the commotion outside their changing room, guessing the Perverted Trio were at it again. Imagine their surprise as they came out to see them getting beaten up by the transfer student. He noted that some of the girls were red in the face.

"Thank you very much for chasing them away," the girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail by a red ribbon said with a sincere smile as she bowed slightly at him, "They have been peeping at us repeatedly and we had beat them up numerous times, yet they still come back. You have my gratitude."

"Ah it's nothing," Ichigo shrugged as he waved it off, "Seeing them disrespecting you girls by doing what they did just pisses me off, I just put them in their place. Well I'll be going then." He finished as he gave them a small smile before he turned around and waved goodbye.

"Kyaaaaa! Not only he's hot, he's strong too!"

"Such a hunk!"

"We have to thank his previous school for transferring him to us!"

"Hey hey, do you think he's still single?"

"A hot guy like that? No way! But if he is…Kyaaaaaaa!"

Said person blushed slightly before suppressing it as he heard the squeals coming from the Kendo girls. The attention he got here at Kuoh really was totally different than the ones he got before at Karakura. Well not that he didn't like it or welcome it, he got to admit it's better than Karakura, where students would see him more as a delinquent and cower in fear at his presence, it's just that he never expected he would garner that much attention in a positive way. Man talk about a change of pace.

Shoving his hands into his pockets, he walked serenely along the pathway as he planned to explore the school grounds further before going back to his class. It was then he stumbled upon an old building. It was a long two-storey building with a touch of vintage in its design. Part of the walls were covered with moss, which had grown on it probably due to the building hasn't been used for a long time. On the middle of the building roof was what look like an ancient school clock.

It took Ichigo a few moments to realize that he was staring at the old school house. He heard that the building was still in use during the academy was still an all-girls private school, but was abandoned and used by a school club after the academy turned co-ed and the new school building was made. Seeing no business with the building, he proceeded to turn around and walk back to class.

Before he could do so, he caught a glimpse of red at the window of the old building by the corner of his eye.

He looked up and slightly startled as he saw the beautiful crimson-haired girl standing by the window, staring at him with an unreadable expression on her face. So she was a part of a school club that was using the building huh? Unusually in a good mood today, he stared back at her for a few moments before he lips curved slightly upwards into a small smile and waved at her. Seeing this, the crimson haired female tilted her head, looking a tad curious for several moments before a soft smile played from her lips and she waved as well.

It was just then the school bell rang, signalling the end of lunchtime.

Ichigo took one last look at her before he pivoted on his heels and walk back to class. During their brief eye contact he could still felt the unknown power emitting from her, but as long as she doesn't pose a threat to him, he saw no reason to be concerned.

...

"Did you get Kurosaki-kun's student file from Sona, Akeno?" Rias asked as she watched the transfer student walked away with his hands in his pockets.

"Yes Buchou," Akeno replied as she opened the file she acquired from Rias' childhood friend at the Student Council Room, "It states here that he was a former student at Karakura High but got expelled due to fights with thugs in the school grounds. Despite that, his grades are among the Top 20. Other than his school and medical records, nothing much is in it."

"Sigh, this doesn't reveal anything about the power I felt from him," Rias groaned as she turned around to face her Queen, "Especially when the power is at a high S-level, yet it doesn't feel anything like a devil, fallen angel, or even an angel. You felt it too right?"

"Ara ara, is it love that I see? Has Buchou become interested in Kuoh Academy's newest student?" Akeno asked with a teasing tone.

"S-Shut up, that's not the point!" Rias stammered with a half-heartened glare as she tried to suppress the incoming blush. She couldn't deny that Ichigo was actually quite good-looking, "He could be a great addition to us, but since we've no idea who he is, for now we'll keep an eye on him. Let's go Akeno. We're gonna be late for class."

"Yes Buchou," is Akeno's response as she placed the file on Rias' desk and followed her out of the room and out of the building . Along the way to their class, the crimson-haired devil had only one thought occupying her mind.

"What are you, Ichigo Kurosaki?"

...

After hearing the school bell rang, the students made their way either off campus or to their club rooms. Ichigo was walking out of the front entrance and towards the gates, his bag slung over his shoulder. It was a fine first day of school here for the orange-haired Shinigami, other than his newfound popularity with the girls, detecting unknown reiryoku from a few girls in his class and beating up some shameless perverts.

Talking about newfound popularity, he was surprised as some girls in his class had daringly came forward and offered him to show him around the area. He politely declined them which made the girls whine in disappointment, citing the reason he hasn't finished unpacking in his new home. The truth was he was just tired and wanted to complete his homework before going to sleep.

His thoughts were short-lived as he heard some loud commotion outside the gates. Increasing his strides, he exited the gates and-

"I SAID APOLOGIZE YOU BRAT!" As he passed through the gates, a feeling of deja vu hit him as he saw a regular street thug towering in front of a petite girl, holding a bat in his right hand. She had white hair, with two long bangs going past her shoulders in the front and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut and two black cat-shaped hair clips on each side of her hair. She was wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, but unlike other female students, she didn't have the shoulder cape. "ARE YOU DEAF OR WHAT?!"

The girl didn't say anything as she looked down at the ground, where a crushed candy laid on the floor. "… You were the one who bumped into me." She gave the man a blank stare, "… And then you made me drop it."

"Why you?! How dare you defy me?!" The thug shouted as he lifted the hand with the bat, ready to swing it down. But as he was about to send it down, his eyes widen as his wrist was caught in a tight grip by a newcomer beside him, stopping his motion and making him wincing in pain at the grip. He turned his head to the right to see the scowling face of Ichigo.

The thug regained his composure before shouting at the orange-haired man, "You asshole! what are-"

"Shut up, bastards like you picking up on a kid? What a coward," Ichigo interrupted as he pulled the thug closer before sending a powerful punch onto his face, making the thug fall and skidding on the ground. It wasn't long before the thug shakily stood up and discarded the bat. He went on to rummage his pant pocket and took out a swiss knife before charging at Ichigo. Unfazed by the knife, Ichigo just caught the knife-wielding hand before sending another punch onto his jaw, breaking almost a dozen teeth in the process and making him fall on his back.

Before the thug could stood back up, Ichigo slammed his foot onto the man's chest, getting a yell of pain as a little blood came out of his mouth. "Question no.1, why is that kid's candy crushed on the floor?"

Seeing the glare from the teen, the thug nervously swallowed before he answered, "B-Because I bumped into her a-and made her drop her c-candy-"

"Yet why you were bullying her when it was your fault huh?!" Ichigo roared as he stomped his foot onto his chest once more, making the thug wheezed in pain as he lost his breath before the orange-haired teen took a step back. He crossed his arms sent a full-blown glare at him, "Consider this as a warning. If I see you around bullying again, I will make sure your body will be crushed like that candy over there! Now scram!"

The thug slowly got to his feet, holding his chest as he glared at Ichigo, 'You're going to pay for this." After that was said, the man ran away as fast as he could.

The orange-haired teen placed a hand in his pocket as he watched the man ran away and sighed, "Man that is so Déjà vu," He looked back at the white-haired girl, who stared blankly at him with hazel eyes. "You okay?"

"… Yes, I am fine." That was all she said before she looked towards the floor where her candy had fallen.

Ichigo blinked a few times, following her gaze to the candy. Letting out a sigh, the teen reached into his pant pocket and took out a rainbow lollipop. Walking over to the girl he held it out to her, "Here, take it," She looked up and saw the lollipop in his hand, before looking back at his face. "What? You lost your candy because of that bastard and I doubt he'll get you a new one, so here you go."

Looking back between Ichigo and the lollipop once more, the girl took the offered lollipop. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, glad to help a fellow Academy student," Ichigo replied before he introduced himself, "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, third year. I just transferred in today."

"… Koneko Toujou… first year." The newly named Koneko replied with her usual monotone.

"Well nice to meet you Koneko," Ichigo acknowledged her before he turned around and walked towards the gates to retrieve his bag. After he slung his bag over his shoulder, he looked over his shoulder at Koneko and waved goodbye as he spoke once again, "Well I gonna get going! Take care of yourself!" he finished before walking away.

The white haired girl only stared at him as he walking away. After a few seconds her eyes went to the rainbow lollipop she was holding. She opened its wrapping and licked it, pausing for a second. "…This tastes good." Koneko said to herself before she continued to lick it at a slightly faster pace as she started walking back through the gates and head towards the old school house.

Meanwhile, Ichigo groaned and rubbed his forehead in irritation as he thought about his brief altercation with that thug. It was not the thug that irked him, it was that white-haired girl Koneko. When he handed over the lollipop to her, their hands slightly made contact, and from there the orange-haired teen felt it. Her reiryoku was similar to that crimson-haired woman and his other two classmates. Ichigo did well to hide his surprise as he felt it.

"So even that kid has the same reiryoku signature as her huh? Man, It won't be surprising if I found out there are more students that have the same reiryoku signature." he thought as he continued his journey home.

Unknown to Ichigo, two pairs of eyes were watching him from the windows of the school hallways. One pair of eyes belonged to Akeno, who had an aroused look on her face as she licked her lips. She had her arms crossed under her breasts, a little shiver going through her body as she recalled how Ichigo brought the thug down without any difficulty.

"Ara ara, he was certainly vicious towards that man wasn't he? Ufufufu," Akeno laughed in her hand, "Now I understood why thugs targeted him in his previous school."

"True, and the way he fought was something I've never seen a normal person his age do before. And he fought like it was second nature to him, like a highly-experienced hand-to-hand combatant. Yet I have a feeling that wasn't his true strength," Rias deduced with curiosity evident in her voice.

"He truly is an interesting one ne, Rias?"

"Yeah, as I've said before, the power he was emitting was at high S-level, yet I have never felt that kind of power before, it was totally different from an angel, fallen angel, devil, or even human" Rias explained as she recalled the immense energy that washed over her as he entered the classroom and her brief encounter with the orange-haired transfer student at the old school house where she caught him checking out the building while looking out of her window before noticing she was staring at him. The image of him giving her a small smile while still scowling, though not that much as he waved at her flashed in her mind, which made her blush slightly before continuing. "Even though we have even talked yet, I have to admit, Kurosaki-kun is definitely one of the most interesting people that I've encountered."

Akeno noticed this and took the chance to tease her as she said, "Ara ara, is Rias starting to have a crush on Kurosaki-san? Oh what would the Underworld say if they found out that the famous Rias Gremory is developing feelings for a human? Ufufufu." Akeno said as she smiled innocently at her.

"You're the one to talk, Akeno," Rias retorted, "I know you are also attracted to him due to the bad boy aura he was emitting off from him."

"Oh my, looks like I got caught red-handed," Akeno amusedly replied as she placed her hand on her cheek, feeling it slightly heating up.

"But still, who knows? From what I've seen, he's miles better than that man," Rias gave her friend a small grin before looking back towards Ichigo's retreating form. "He's so mysterious, which makes me wanna know more about him." She said, closing her eyes as a thought came to mind, "And when I finally know what's the power in him, maybe he could join us..."

Well it's been like what, 10 months since I last wrote a story? Anyway it's great to be back typing stories for now and not preoccupied with books, books and more books.

This year is my exam year and my most important year as it's my last year at high school before I go to college next year. I've been studying my ass off yet my results are still very average. Thus I've become less active in here. So I'm sorry to all the readers who had been expecting updates for my two existing stories, The Shinigami of Fairy Tail and The Strawberry Teacher.

And don't expect them anytime soon. My time is super limited and I've just a month and a half left before finals kick off, or SPM to any Malaysian readers out there. So I'm devoting my time more on studying for now.

You may be wondering why I'm posting this new story even though I spouted all of the above. Well it's because currently I'm on a week of school holidays, and today's the penultimate day of the holidays. And this story idea was stuck in my head for days now, so yeah.

And really, it's been months since I've typed, so my typing was pretty rusty. So sorry if there are any glaring spelling and grammar mistakes.

Please R&R. Constructive criticism is accepted.
