Shinigamis In Yokai

Chapter 2

Ichigo stared out the window as he watched the town go by. It had been five days since Ichigo and the others had met with Ruby, they had a long talk with her that day and it left Ichigo in a tough spot. On the one hand he had a duty to protect his home town. Although Soul Society said that they would allow him to add to his duties to include Yokai Academy if he accepted. And the town was in good hands with the Vizards. So for the next few days he thought about everything. It wasn't an easy decision to come to. But seeing Ruby hurt and seeing her determination to fight for her school, struck a chord with him.

So after a few days he gathered with the others to talk about it. There were some arguments for both sides but they all felt for Ruby's trouble. She wasn't a friend but she was a good person in trouble and any of them couldn't say no to it. Ichigo had reluctantly agreed to help out; Chad went with him for no other reason than that where Ichigo went he would go too to fight at his back. Orihime had liked Ruby and the thought of a school of monsters got her excited at all the new and strange things they would see. Plus she wanted to help Ichigo and make sure he was okay, he had gone through a lot to rescue her and she felt she needed to repay him.

Plus Orihime's feeling for Ichigo had not changed, he was still the man that held her heart and she didn't like to think of him in danger and not knowing what was going to happen to him.

Uryu had made an excuse that he was going because Yokai Academy had asked and not Soul Society, so he was working for the school. Thereby not involved in Shinigami business, that was his reasoning and Ichigo of course called him on the logic of that was no better than when he joined up to fight in Hueco Mundo. He just said that just because they were going to the same place didn't mean they were working together. This of course caused a fight to break out between them as usual.

So they told Urahara about their decision, he seemed pleased and he already had the paperwork and the new school uniforms already waiting for them. Ichigo had a feeling that the man had planned all this out in advance. He had no proof but Ichigo knew the man to know that he loved to play his games like this. Honestly, the man needed a new hobby.

So Ichigo and company told their families what was going to happen. Thankfully Orihime's agreed to let her keep her apartment since she would be coming back on holidays. Chad's family were glad that he was being accepted into some private school. Uryu's father, well the man knew something was up but given the choice of letting his son go off to some school or staying here and resenting him even more, he would let his son go. Ichigo's family was all over the place, Yuzu didn't want him to leave, Karin just shrugged it off and his father was proud that his 'punk son' was finally going to get a good education.

So with packing up what they would need they were all currently on a bus with the creepiest bus driver any of them had ever met going to Yokai Academy.

Ichigo was hoping he made a good choice well he could always be transferred back at least. It was then one of his bags started to jump around. He sighed in annoyance as he unzipped it and Kon jumped out.

"Damn you Ichigo!" Kon, the mod soul in his stuffed lion body yelled, while pointing a paw at him. "I could have suffocated in there!"

"You don't have lungs Kon," Ichigo told him. How in the world could a stuff animal suffocate anyway?

"That's not the point! You put me in your damn gym bag, when was the last time you washed that thing anyway!" Kon yelled at him getting Ichigo more annoyed.

"Why in the world did you take that thing with you?" Uryu asked.

"Because Rukia told me to," Ichigo looked behind him at the short Shinigami.
