Same old, Same old *ask*

Karakura High School, the only high school in the whole town. The nearby residence could time their days by the tardy bell, lunch bell, and the release bell. The long buzzer went off, the release bell, signaling to the town that a hoarde of high school students would be returning to society. They would go home, or stop at one of the many shops on the way home, or attend after school sports or clubs. That was the way of high school students, except for one, or a least she thought of this of her classmates. Ishi Ito, tallest girl in her grade, neither attended clubs nor sports, though many of the sports teams often dreamed of her joining them. Many of the clubs as well, but Ishi had rejected each of their offers. It wasn't as if she wanted to have fun, or play a sport, make friends. It was just...she was different, much different then the rest of her classmates. Different to the point where she couldn't risk the chance of any of these regular humans getting hurt or even finding out what she was capable of.

Thus, Ishi Ito, so beautiful, so cold, was destined to be part of the, 'Go Home,' club and study until the first of the monsters appeared. Carrying her schoolbag in front of her, Ishi let the bag bump against her thighs as she walked. The contact made a nice thumping noise, like music to walk to as she walked out of the school yard and headed towards her house. Ah, her home away from her parent's home. It wasn't general knowledge, but the small house that Ishi lived in as well as a weekly allowance was all paid for by her parents who lived up north. That was a particular detail she would always keep to herself. The image of a spoiled, rich, brat was not one she wanted to earn among her peers.

Ishi let out a sigh, looking up at the trees that lined the sidewalk, how lovely, she thought studying the trees as she walked. It was early spring and the cherry blossoms had begun to bloom. It was a little bit of a reliefe to Ishi who hated the cold and had spent most of the winter indoors to escape the cold. Even in the slow warming days of spring, Ishi continued to wear her school sweater, wondering if the chill in her bones would ever go away. Her footsteps crunched against the small pieces of gravel on the sidewalk as she walked. The sudden scrape of someone in a nearby side street caused Ishi to stop in time to miss having a rock hit the side of her head. The rock harmlessly flew past her, bouncing against the sidewalk and skiddering into the road. She turned her head, tilting her face up slightly to look down at a group of four guys, one of them was tossing another rock up and down in their hand.


"Hey Ito," what appeared to be the leader of the group said casually to Ishi, his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Tomoko-san, this again?" Ishi asked simply, same old same old, this group of guys the same age as her, going to a high school the next town over. About once a month they got it into their heads that they needed to fight the national champion of martial arts. they hadn't won any of these fights, making the whole process rather annoying to Ishi. As the four guys circles around her, Ishi crossed her arms over her chest, staring each one of them down.

"This time Ito, this time we're going to beat you," Tomoko stated pointing at her.

Bored of staying in their hidden warehouse for two consecutive days, Shinji snack out from that boring hell. "why do we have to follow her stupid orders, it always 'do this, do that.'Hiyori is such a pain, is it illegal to have some fun around here?''

Just as he was mumbling his problems to himself when he a group of young boys shoved him out of their way. He over heard one of the boys talking about some girl called, 'Ishi Ito', and 'payback'. he suppressed his urge to give them a beat down of a lifetime hoping things would get more interesting.

They stopped when they spotted a girl who just happened to be the 'Ishi Ito', who they held a grudge against. Shinji wondered why such a girl would give such rowdy boys such a hard time. So he ignored them when he saw one of them pic up a rock. The boy seemed hesitant to throw the rock but eventually did and missed by a long shot. They surrounded the girl but she did not look at all threatened by their presence. Still debating whether to go over and assist the assumed damsel, the one who ordered his colleague to throw the rock spoke.

At first Shinji thought the words he heard from the boy referred to as Tomoko, weren't real. And he bust out laughing.

Ishi didn't even glance up as someone nearby began to laugh. Whoever it might have been must have been stupid, laughing in such a degrading manner would only draw the attention of the bullies. Had this guy been smart he would have stayed back until the bullies left, or minded his own business. But Ishi knew from experience that some men seemed to think she needed rescuing, no matter how amusing that seemed.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" Tomoko demanded turning his attention to the guy, and finally Ishi looked up. Her eyes narrowed a little, he had been in her class a few times, but no one who had gotten her attention.

"Are you trying to die?" Ishi asked putting her hands on her hips as she glared at the intruding boy. Knowing her saying something would return the bully's attention back to her, Ishi's body tensed up.

"Who said you could," Tomoko's voice trailed off as one of his posse threw another rock at Ishi. Who in turn, dodged out of the rock's way, grabbing the rock from the air and throwing it at Tomoko. The rock slammed into his face, knocking him to the ground with a bloody nose. Ishi grabbed the shirt of the bully who threw the rock, only to toss him with ease into the two other bullies.

"Come on, lets go," Tomoko slurred stumbling to his feet and running off.

Shinji's laughter destructed him from the action, when he came to, he noticed the bullies retreating. when he shouts over their over the distant threats they were making, "I expected a much louder bark from such a big dog!"

But his laughter came to an abrupt stop when he noticed th sudden silence of the rowdy boys and the shock on their faces only to realise that Ishi Ito was standing right next to him with a clenched fist..

With an open palm, Ishi slapped the boy, hard, this was the only way he would learn no doubt, "Baka," she spoke looking him in the eye, they were about the same height, before going over and picking up her school bag and violin. After picking up the two objects she turned her attention back to the boy. She tossed her hair back over her shoulder. "You shouldn't do anything to have the attention of guys like that drawn to you," she then said, "Next time, you may be harmed," with that Ishi turned and began walking away.

She might have been a little too hard on the guy, after all not everyone knew such things about fighting or bullies. Ishi wasn't the type to tutor someone in the rights and wrongs of such a situtation. Nor was she going to baby this guy, start a conversation, or lecture him into submission. She would prefer to go home, relax and do her schoolwork until the Hollows appeared.
