Chapter 49 - A New Mission (2/2)
”How convenient that these Gigai come with the school uniform.” Rukia commented.
”Yes, well there was research done prior to-” Toshiro stopped talking when he noticed Ikkaku brought his zanpakuto with him.
”Madarame...put your zanpakuto away!” Toshiro angrily said. ”This is a school, you can't bring a real weapon here…”
”Fine! I'll just use one more ”school appropriate.” Ikkaku said as he noticed a group of students dressed in white robes holding wooden swords wander behind a building An idea popped into his head and he immediately ran after them.
”Where is he going?” Toshiro asked, starting to show irritation on his face.
'Don't worry Captain. He's already coming back.” Renji said as he pointed to Ikkaku returning around the corner with a wooden sword.
”Oh where did you get that sword?” Yumichika asked curiously.
”Don't worry about it. Come on let's go!” Ikkaku said as he slung his sword to his waist.
The group continued walking through the school while receiving various strange looks and stares from students as they walked through the hallways.
”Hey what classroom was it again?” Ikkaku asked loudly.
”How the hell should I know? Where's the memo?” Renji replied and looked at Toshiro.
”I gave it to Matsumoto.” Toshiro replied. ”Matsumoto where did you put it?”
”One sec Captain.” Rangiku said as she began looking through her pockets and eventually her bosom as she remembered she stuffed the memo into her cleavage earlier. ”Ah...it disappeared.”
”Disappeared? What do you mean disappeared?!” Renji questioned angrily.
”Everyone calm down...we just need to search for his reiatsu.” Yumichika pointed out, attempting to defuse the situation. Itachi shook his head at the shinigami fighting amongst themselves.
”He's in class 1-3.” Itachi interrupted. The other shinigami with him stared at him and fell silent.
”I see. Well, let's go to this class 1-3 then.” Ikkaku said.
”Have any of you seen Rukia?” Renji asked as he started looking around. ”I swear she was just with us when we entered.
”That's true, she was just behind us. Hold on, she has been here before hasn't she? She couldn't have gotten lost…” Rangiku said.
”She can group with us later. For now we'll go to 1-3.” Toshiro ordered.
”I don't want to be in a Gigai anymore. These uniforms are too tight…” Rangiku complained as they walked down the hallway.
”You can just snip them a bit like we did.” Renji suggested.
”Yeah right! How would I be able to carry my bokutou like that?” Ikkaku exclaimed. ”This is all your guys' fault! How am I not allowed to bring a real weapon with me?”
”It's not our fault...geez it's the law.” Rangiku replied.
”Well it doesn't make sense! Who the hell would outlaw carrying swords around?!” Ikkaku yelled louder.
”Shut the hell up guys!” Toshiro yelled. ”We need to be quiet and act normal so as to not draw attention to ourselves.”
”Okay, but what about that Itachi over there? He has a whole hoard of girls following him!” Renji pointed to the back of the group where Itachi was being followed by a large group of girls.
”Look at that new guy!”
”He's so handsome!”
”Look over hereee!”
”Look at his hair. It's even longer than mine!”
”I hope he asks me out to prom!”
The group of girls exclaimed as they began to crowd around Itachi. Itachi ignored them and their comments.
”Uchiha?! What are you doing? You'll blow our cover.” Toshiro grumbled.
”I didn't do anything.” Itachi said, unable to make sense of what was happening. The girls started staring at him the moment he entered.
”Wow Uchiha. I didn't realize you were such a ladies man.” Rangiku teased as they continued down the hallway a few more classrooms down until they arrived in front of 1-3.
”Alright we're here. Go on, open it up!” Ikkaku said to Renji. Renji opened the door and looked at Ichigo who was standing in front of the classroom with a confused look on his face as he saw the shinigami standing at the doorway.
”Yo! How ya been Ichigo?” Renji asked.
