School Daze

By Raindrops 28

Summary: Sent into hiding during a lull in the Winter War, how will Ichigo deal with a school full of hormonal Youkai – and let's not forget about the only other human in miles – Tuskune Aono. But behind the scenes Aizen plans come to fruition…

Pairings: Tuskune/Ruby, Ichigo/Mizore/Rukia/Moka/Yukari/Kurumu, Kahlua/Miyabi, Ginrei/San, Aqua/(surprise), probably more that I've forgotten or will be implied

Warnings: AU, probably implied of referenced slash or yoai, nothing major though, and easily ignorable, if you could handle Fang Fang, you have nothing to worry about, a boy having relations with multiple women – a harem(if you don't like reading about harems why are you reading Rosario Vampire in the first place?)blood violence, cursing …do you really need to be warned about this stuff?

Chapter 0:The ridiculously long prologue

Sitting in an annoyingly creepy looking bus on the way to his new school Ichigo tried to remember everything that had lead up to this event.

It'd started of course, with the disaster that was Ichigo's battle against Ulquiorra – Ichigo had barely been able to regain his sanity and cancel his Resureccion before his hollow had fired what would a been a fatal cero at the Cuatro Espada. Ichigo had momentarily prepared himself for a final clash of their swords before Aizen himself had arrived, injecting the dying Espada with a drug – apparently made by the Octava – that regenerated Ulquiorra's blasted away organs, saving his life.

Aizen had then turned to Ichigo, and to everyone's surprise, Ichigo's father arrived seemingly to Aizen's expectations, and nodding to Isshin said he had achieved his objective for this round, and that Ichigo and his friends were free to go.

Ichigo barely had time to grab a sobbing Nel and her fraccion before his friends were herded to a garganta, that once they exited they were all swiftly herded to Urahara Shoten by the equally surprised Gotei 13 who'd been fighting nothing more than Aizen's illusions.

Ichigo had learned then, that Rukia's opponent had apparently faked his death by using a body clone, though Byakuya's opponent had truly died. The Octava Espada had apparently managed to avoid death via Kurotsuchi by hiding another egg within Nemu (and if there was ever a technique Ichigo never wanted to be hit with…seriously he'd take a shot at Ryujin Jakka before submitting himself to that.)

Ichigo had barely any time to receive confirmation form Unohana that she had healed Grimmjow before the captains turned to him, and promptly interrogated him on why he'd been let go by Aizen. Ichigo didn't know any more than they did though, and the captains quickly refocused on Isshin, whom, from what Ichigo could gleam through the following argument, was a former captain that'd been promoted to the Royal Guard and had been presumed dead on a mission to the Living World twenty years ago.

Understandably, the fact that Isshin was alive, had children with a human woman and had thus apparently deserted had caused some alarm. Isshin hadn't talked very much, saying he'd explain thing in more detail later, but that for now he needed to take his son back home to rest – Ichigo had, after all just invaded Aizen's fortress. This promptly caused everyone to refocus on Ichigo (Ichigo was sure the shear dumbfounded shock he was feeling was showing on his face at this point), followed by many sudden looks of understanding, confusion and calculating looks shot his way. Ukitake-san, Ichigo noticed, looked particularly concerned, before Isshin had unceremoniously ushered Ichigo home.

Ichigo had, understandingly, been in a cross mood with his father for several days afterwards, and had only lessened his hostility after giving Karin her long-awaited explanation and watching her consequently tear into him. Afterwards Ichigo had calmed down enough that he decided to wait for his father to explain everything to him when the goat-face was ready to.

"Heh. That's a pretty mature thing to say, Ichigo"

"Shut up, it's something someone told me once, and it made me feel better, so I thought I'd give it a try."

"MASAKI OUR SON IS BECOMING A MAN!"

"DAMMIT CAN'T YOU BE MATURE FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES GOAT FACE?!"

Ichigo had returned to his daily life after that, handing Nel and her 'brothers' over to the Vizards, and waiting for news from Soul Society on Aizen's next move, but when weeks passed with no new news, Ichigo, following a truly irritating and circular argument with his dad, got a part time job with a woman who reminded Ichigo frighteningly of Yourichi and Kukaku. Officially he was the shops bodyguard, but really he just ended up being Ikumi's errand boy

Trouble of course followed Ichigo everywhere, and barely three weeks had passed with his new job before a man in his early twenties with the sleaziest looking hair Ichigo had seen outside of the gangs that tried to ambush him after school stepped into the shop and asked for information on an Isshin Kurosaki.

Ikumi wasn't crazy enough to be unconcerned when someone come in looking for information on a man that held the same last name as her underage employee. She'd started talking with the man cautiously, but Ichigo was in the middle of a war - a war in which the enemy leader was unusually interested in Ichigo; and now some random guy with weird feeling reitasu was asking for information on Ichigo's newly revealed shinigami father.

Ichigo was taking no chances, and five minutes later Ichigo was in a back alley, holding the smiling stranger by his shirt and demanding he stop the bullshit and tell Ichigo what exactly he was after.

The man had smirked; made this strange movement with his hand, and a moment later Ichigo felt a twisting of rieatsu that signified the creation of a kido barrier. Then the man introduced himself as Kugo Ginjou, and told Ichigo everything.

That Ginjou had once been a Substitute Shinigami - the first in fact.

That the shinigami that'd given Ginjou his powers had deserted the Gotei 13 to marry a human woman he met on a mission. And that man had been killed by Aizen who then proceeded to frame Ginjou, now powerless, for the murder, leaving Ginjou slated to be executed.

That Ginjou had ran, killing several pursuing shinigami in the process.

That Ichigo, like Ginjou, was being monitored through his shinigami badge, as Ginjou had been.

That Ginjou had then discovered his own shinigami powers, and had discovered another, different power after meeting several children that had been attacked by hollows as children – the power of Fullbring.

That Ginjou too, could perform Fullbring.

That Inoue and Chad's powers were actually Fullbrings, and that Ichigo and the rest of his spiritually aware friends and family would be able to perform Fullbring as well.

That Ginjou could teach Ichigo Fullbring, that he'd be able to fight in his human body, be able to teach Fullbring to Tatsuki, who desperately wanted to fight, to his sisters who needed to learn how to defend themselves.

In the end, Ichigo overwhelmed, accepted, and was accepted into Xcution. At their headquarters he met six of the seven members: Riruka Dokugamire (who reminded him oddly of Rukia), Yukio Hans Vorarlberna (who seemed to be competing with Mizurio for the position of "poor little rich boy"), Jackie Tristan (Chad's long lost sister), Giriko Kutsuzawa (Tessai's long lost brother), and Moe Shishigawara (an overzealous Yakuza wannabe).

In the end, it took three weeks, two-ton kicks from Jackie, stuffed animal trauma from Riruka, concrete punches from Moe, puppet mastery from Yukio, much taunting from Ginjou, a violent but necessary heart to heart with his hollow (promptly named Shiro), the discovery that Zangetsu (and thus his hollow as well)took a different form in bankai, the subsequent introduction of Tensa Zangetsu and the shouldn't be but surprising truth that, (proven by the Fullbringers and statistics that suicides always became hollows), that the hollowfication process could start while humans were still alive, and that Ichigo's hollow had really started to form after the death of Ichigo's mother – they only became separate identities after Urahara's Shattered Shaft incident. Ichigo had, at first, refused to accept such a thing as the truth, but Zangetsu wasn't letting him exit his Inner World until he did and his hollow was a surprisingly good arguer:

("You're a fucking moron, King! Don't you remember your fight with Shrieker? What you did to him after you heard what Karin learned? I'm your vengeance – your ability to torture and inflict pain on your enemies and feel joy from it! How you'd taunt the foolish that'd challenge you and Chad! But you haven't done anything like that since you stormed the Seireitei!"

"No one's pissed me off like that since Shrieker!"

"Fucking liar! You were more pissed at Byakuya than Shrieker!")

Several arguments later Ichigo had made peace with his hollow and completed his Fullbring (not everything had happened in that order though).

Ichigo's Fullbring took the form a cloak of black rieatsu that mimicked Tensa Zangestu's cloak, only covered in bone-like armor that covered his chest, a good portion of his legs, and several x-shaped bands around his wrists, hands, feet and neck. Wrapping up his Fullbring was an unusually small sword-dagger that Ichigo could fire weaker versions of Getusga Tensho from.

Not even a day passed after Ichigo returned home before he was confronted by an irate Rukia and annoyed Toshrio, both demanding to know where he'd been. Ginjou hadn't made the slightest suggestion to Ichigo that, despite his position, to hide such information – it'd be pretty hard to anyway, since the first time Ichigo entered his shinigami form since learning Fullbring Ichigo had spent a good five minutes freaking out over his and Zangestu's new appearances. Needless to say Toshiro had not taken the news well, and Ichigo had soon found himself under sword point.

"What the hell Toshiro?!"

"Kurosaki you moron! You just admitted to fraternizing with a declared enemy of Soul Society! What were you thinking?!"

The argument degenerated from there, but could be summed up with Toshrio arguing that Ichigo should've immediately informed Soul Society of Ginjou's appearance, Ichigo arguing that he had no way to immediately contact Soul Society except for Urahara, and that even if he did Ginjou had clearly taken the time to gather information on Ichigo's friends and family, and fuck, Ichigo was right where Ginjou wanted, in a place to figure out what he was after, and it wasn't like Ginjou had made anything even remotely close to a threat during the conversation.

"Don't talk like you actually trust himKurosaki! Do you have any idea how much trouble you're in for following him? - For knowing that you're being monitored? He's an enemy of Soul Society – framed or not that doesn't excuse the crimes he's committed since then! You saw yourself he's gained allies! The Sou-Taicho going to interpret this as gathering an army – one Ginjou's trying to recruit you to!"

"He doesn't give a flying fuck about Soul Society now! And I've always known about the monitoring!"

"And how would you know about his plans Kurosaki? You just said you were only training during these weeks! You're making things worse for yourself by saying such incriminating things!"

Ichigo had spent the next several minutes explaining his ability to always feel the emotions of his opponents through their swords, and though he was able to feel Ginjou had no love of Soul Society, he certainly wasn't interested in revenge against them – or in killing Ichigo to steal his powers. Ichigo didn't know why Ginjou approached him, but he was able to discern that Ginjou had no interest in harming Ichigo, his friends or family.

Toshiro hadn't looked like he believed Ichigo at first, but as Ichigo's explanation on his ability to 'see' into the hearts of others, listening to his examples of previous fights and clearly comparing them to reports he must've heard, Toshiro looked like he'd been completely convinced in the truth of Ichigo's words. Sighing in resignation, Toshrio turned back to look at Ichigo.

"So you've always known about the monitoring?"

"Of course, I did. Ukitake-san's a lot smarter than I am, if he was really trying to hide it from me he would've chosen his words differently. Besides, when he gave it to me I'd just gotten finished breaking in to a military compound and thrashing two of their best in a fight. I'd be pretty disappointed in Soi Fon if she hadn't pushed through some sort of monitoring – hell I'd be disappointed that if after everything I did to you guys if you didn't end me enough of a threat to even passively monitor."

Rukia looked particularly happy and relieved after he said this, and even Toshiro's gaze softened a bit before he spoke up again.

"I'll tell Ukitake that you said that then. I'm pretty sure I can convince the others you haven't betrayed Soul Society's interest and were just scooping out a possible threat. I'm going to have to have you tell me everything you learned about these 'Fullbringers' abilities – and were you went too. In the meantime though I'll have to have stay where you can be easily found, Kuchiki over here will be guarding you, to show your cooperating don't leave her sight for now, alright?"

When everything was said and done, it only took Toshiro three days to come back with the news that Yamamoto had accepted Toshiro's reasoning and that Ichigo wouldn't be punished. Toshiro had also given Ichigo his own Soul Pager (directly connected to Toshiro's) so he'd finally have an easy way to contact Soul Society.

With the danger passed, Ichigo set about telling Tatsuki and Karin that they were capable of developing their own powers, and that Ichigo could teach them how.

Mikogami was smirking happily at the man seated across him. Kurosaki Isshin, as he expected had been agreeable to his deductions, especially those concerning the reappearance of Ginjou and inevitable upcoming events. To draw out the confrontation – or to speed it up if one looked at it another way, he needed someone special to draw Fairy Tale's attention.

Mikogami had already sycred for such an individual, but resting such hopes on a human had not gone well the last time he tried so he was looking for some…insurance, if you will. Luckily Mikogami had just come across the evidence he needed to convince Isshin agree to his little favor, and Mikogami couldn't be happier.

"So, then it is agreed that Kurosaki Ichigo will be transferring schools this year?" Mikogami couldn't help the widening of his perpetual grin; he loved when a plan came together.

Over his cup of tea, Isshin sighed. Ichigo was not going to be happy with him, but in the end, Mikogami (the bastard, Isshin was sure he was somehow related to Urahara, they always managed to convince him to go along with their plans) was right, if the information Mikogami gathered was right – as it usually was - then it would be better for Ichigo to be under the headmaster's care – and barrier with all that business with Aizen…

"I'll tell him tomorrow."

"Excellent, I'll have his papers ready by then."

XXXXXXTHISISAPAGEBREAKXXXXXX

"ICHIGO, MY SON! I HAVE EXCELLENT NEWS! DADDY HAS NOTICED THE OPRESSIVE GLOOM THAT HAS SURROUNDED YOU SINCE MY DEAR THIRD DUAGHTER HAS LEFT AND HAVE COME UP WITH THE PERFECT SOLUTION! DADDY HAS TRANSFERRED YOU TO A NEW SCHOOL WHERE YOU SHALL FIND YOURSELF NEW FRIENDS AND A GIRLFREIND TO CLEAR AWAY YOUR DEPRESSION AND REGAIN YOUR MANLIENESS!"

"WHAT THE FUCK OLD MAN?!"

"DADDY DOES HAVE BAD NEWS THOUGH, SINCE YOU MISSED SO MUCH OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR YOU'LL BE ENTERING AS A FREASHMEN AGAIN!"

"YOU'RE DOING THAT ON PURPOSE AREN'T YOU? I'LL KILL YOU!"

XXXXXXTHISISAPAGEBREAKXXXXXX

"Actually Kurosaki, I've discussed this with the other captains, and they agree this might be a good thing."

"What?! How could this be a good thing Toshiro?! We're in the middle of a war! I'll be who knows how far away – and after you guys lectured me about Aizen's zanpaktou!"

"Maa, maa calm down Kurosaki-kun, you'll break the table."

"The good thing is, Kurosaki" Toshrio continued as if Ichigo wasn't throwing a fit that was causing his rieatsu to flare widely, "is the school you've been transferred to. It's called Youkai Academy right?"

"Yeah, fucking weird name…what that's got to do with anything though?"

"Maa, don't you know Kurosaki-kun?" Urahara asked, waving his fan in a completely irritating manner, "Youkai actually exist. They supposedly exist to balance out the powerful shinigami and hollows in the afterlife so the Balance can be maintained and the afterlife won't encroach on the World of the Living. Their continued existence is so important to the maintenance of the Balance that they never enter Soul Society – as soon as they die their automatically reincarnated as Youkai again. It's speculated that Komamura –taicho was a youkai that somehow escaped the usual cycle of things – much like Blanks, but, of course he doesn't remember his life – human or otherwise, so it can't be confirmed.

"But going back to what Hitsugaya-taicho said, that school is enclosed by an incredibly powerful barrier that keeps the school hidden from normal humans, so youkai can learn human guises so they will be able to blend into the human world seamlessly and peacefully."

"Fascinating, how is this supposed to be good for me though?" Surprised as he was at the revelation of the existence of youkai, Ichigo was more concerned why Toshiro and Geta-boushi seemed to think that sending him to a school filled with monsters was a good idea, did they want him to die?

"Kurosaki, we both know that Aizen is unusually interested in you, -we warned you after the first time you were attacked, and Aizen clearly hasn't let that interest wane. By going to Youkai academy you'll be encased inside that same barrier – it's strong enough to complelty hide you from Souls Societies sensors – and therefore Aizen's as well." Toshiro pointed out, in such a calm voice that made Ichigo feel like Toshiro was talking to a child.

"If your hidden beyond Aizen's ability to find you whatever plans he has for you will be delayed, and that can give the rest of Souls Society time to prepare for a real battle with his forces; we were caught off guard last time, and given more time we might be able to discern what exactly Aizen is planning for you, Kurosaki."

Ichigo had to, grudgingly, admit they were right, and wondered if this was the real reason why Goat-face was sending him to the school. He stayed only a little longer with them before heading home to study (Urahara had decided to be useful for a change, giving Ichigo an encyclopedia summarizing the different youkai species and classes) and to inform his friends of his transfer.

They'd been as shocked and irritated as Ichigo had been at first, but after Ichigo explained the reason behind the transfer they calmed down – especially after he promised Tatsuki that Ichigo had given Urahara and Chad enough information on Fullbring that they'd be able to continue her and Karin's training. A silent nod from Chad was all Ichigo needed to confirm that Chad would be watching over his sisters while he was gone and Ichigo sighed in relief – his sisters would be in safe hands.

XXXXXXTHISISAPAGEBREAKXXXXXX

And that was how Ichigo ended up in an abandoned-looking bus stop waiting for the bus that's take him to his new school – that'd be full of monsters (he still hadn't really gotten used to that idea yet).

The bus came right on time – but going about five times faster than the speed limit, if the skid marks were anything to go by. Pausing only to threaten his father one last time to take proper care of his sister, Ichigo stepped into the bus. Into his new life.

A/N: So how'd I do? This is my first fic so I'm pretty nervous, but it turned out well for a prologue don't you think?

Any way to clear up a few things that you're probably wondering about:

Tsukishima didn't help out with Ichigo's training because Ginjou (rightfully) thought that if Ichigo knew about his Fullbring before getting to know them Ichigo wouldn't trust the rest of them, and is thus saving that meeting for later. Ginjou also guessed that Ichigo would tell Soul Society about their abilities and he wants to keep Tsukishima's ability as a ace in the hole.

Hollow Ichigo's bankai form is the one he took during the Decide arc.

I've changed Ichigo's Fullbring to resemble his new bankai form because I hated his completed Fullbring in the manga/anime. Why? Because the first thought I had upon seeing it was "OMG he looks like a fucking Power Ranger. I hate Power Rangers" – thus is my excuse.

Ichigo could read Ginjou's emotions because I believe, what stopped Ichigo from doing so in Canon was Tsukishima's Book of the End interfering with Ginjou's memories/emotions. For those who think I'm having that ability too enhanced… congrats you've stumbled across one of the many hints to the main plotline that are scattered across this chapter. How many other have you found?

On Ichigo's calmness over being monitored…seriously who expects to get off scot-free after invading a military compound and beating down two of their best fighters- uncovering a conspiracy in the process or not?

Well that's all for now, please review!
