"Don't worry. I'll figure it out on my own." Kaien pushed himself farther back onto the bed as he watched his brother leave the room. A pair of aqua colored eyes stared at the ceiling as he attempted to calm himself down. He stood up when he felt his mood was better, and moved to the room where Toshiro lay on the medical bed. The younger Shiba twin felt his throat tighten before going to sit in the chair next to the child's bed.

His head leaned back so his neck rested upon the back of the chair. Ryuken's voice caused him to jolt awake as one hand came up to rub his sore neck. "Don't you need to be getting up to go to work? I know that you're worried about..." The white haired man stopped then before turning his head to look at the bed's occupant. "I know you're worried about that child, but you should sleep in the office, or set some kind of alarm. I don't need to be babysitting you like I do Isshin."

Kaien continued to rub the back of his neck as he stood up. "No. The thought of being babysit like my kid brother doesn't sit well really. I'll be heading to work."

"A couple of weeks..."

"What?" The younger Shiba twin turned his head to look at the doctor hoping the man meant it would be a couple of weeks before Toshiro would wake up.

"I suggest not staying the night more then two weeks. You'll just end up placing yourself into a destructive pattern."

"I'm not sure if I should be thankful to you or not for that one." Kaien stopped short remembering the black eye. He headed to the bathroom to see the bruising. As slight as it was he still needed to stop by a convenience store on the way to work to purchase a pair of sunglasses. He arrived at work and set down his bag.

"Were you out at a bar last night?" One of the male teachers piped up with a grin on his face.

The younger Shiba twin's head darted up to stare at the man. "What do you mean?"

"You look awful. It also looks like you're hiding a black eye from a fight."

"Not a fight. My neighbor jumped the wall to my house again and slammed into me."

"It still looks like you didn't get much sleep."

Kaien took a deep breath. "A family issue I had to deal with this weekend. I did get plenty of sleep, just not in my own bed." He sat down at his desk to double check his papers. His fingers spun a pencil in his fingers. "By the way? What kind of books are kids into?"

"Books? These girls aren't really into books?" The female teacher who mentioned his ability to protect the rain let out a laugh. "They're into Twilight. You aren't..."

The Shiba clan member stood up from his desk before she could ask him if he was trying to figure out what the students were doing. "I'm going to go and patrol the halls to make sure the girls aren't up to any mischief."

"Oh yes. I'm sure they'll love you even more if you take away any more of their make up cases."

"Don't really care." Kaien tapped the back of his head with his notebook. "Also... aren't we getting ready for the school festival before the summer break?" The man let out a sigh. "They'll soon forget about it." The man stopped short as he felt a rieatsu approaching the room. His aqua colored eyes widened in confusion. "Surely none of the Shinigami have found me out?"

He could hear the principle chatting away with a young lady, and a male who sounded old like the fukutaicho of the first division. The principle stepped into the room with a smile on his face. "Ah! Shiba sensei! I'd like you to meet our new student."

Kaien watched as a girl stepped out from behind the man, and he found himself letting out a sigh as he realized the young female was the one letting out the rieatsu. His mouth quickly twisted up into a frown. "No... not Shinigami. Quincy?"

"This is Bambietta Basterbine. She is the ward of the Ishida family. She'll be in your home room." The principle continued to walk over to his own desk. "Come young lady. Let's get your paperwork filled out.

Kaien let his sunglasses slip down slightly so he could see the violet haired female. As he did he found himself quite sure the girl glared at him, and he felt a flare in her fiery rieatsu. This he brushed off as her having a fiery personality similar to how his own brother's personality matched his rieatsu. "I'm going to make some rounds before heading to class."

The Shiba clan member walked the halls listening to the chattering of the girls as the gossiped as well as how some looked at him as if they were hiding something. He eventually headed to class and watched as the girls began to gather at their desks with excited looks on their faces. Imai Minori's face was flushed. "Do you think she'll be pretty... and friendly?"

"Most of the girls at this school are rich snobs," her friend replied.

"I doubt she'll get more attention then myself or my girls." Kimura Izumi's eyes darted down to her nails as she tried putting nail polish onto her nails.

"Ms. Kimura?" Kaien watched as the girl's head darted up. "I think you know you're not allowed to use such things in class." The chair of the desk scraped as the girl stood up in annoyance as she walked up to the desk and slammed the glass jar down with a click. She then spun on her heals as she went back to her desk. "I am going..."

The girl with the violet hair appeared in the doorway to the classroom as she slammed the door open. This caused all of the girls in the class to jump. The younger Shiba twin was under the distinct impression the girl was glaring at him as if she wanted to kill him. He felt his sunglasses slip down his nose as he eyed the girl's non-lady like stance with her legs spread apart. She then proceeded to stomp her way into the room.

The man cleared his voice. "If you don't mind introducing yourself."

The girl's finger pointed at the man. "I'm going to kill you... you damn Shinigami!"

"Excuse me?" Kaien stared at the girl as his aqua colored eyes. "So I wasn't imagining things. She really does want to kill me."

"I said..."

"I'm not sure why you are making death threats towards your homeroom teacher on your first day of class."

"You know why! You're a damn Shinigami!"

The girls in the class began to mutter about what the violet haired girl said. Some of the girls posed the idea their teacher was in some kind of gang, while others wondered if he was in the band. Kaien felt the corner of his mouth twitch. "I really don't know what you're talking about." He thought this would settle the problem as he watched the girl remained silent at his latest response. A few of her fingers came up then and he watched as some kind of fire orb formed at the tips of her fingers. His aqua eyes widened as he saw this. "Please tell me she isn't going to use an attack in front of everybody."

Kaien suddenly reacted by bending backwards to allow the orb to go flying past him to hit the window. The window glowed, and then exploded. His head twisted around so he could glare at her while the other girls let out a shriek. He blinked a couple of times as he looked at the violet haired girl. Her breath now came in huffs, and she looked as if she had completely lost it.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his soul candy dispenser and quickly popped the artificial soul into his mouth before swallowing. He found himself popping painfully out of the body. His zampaktuo chimed in. "Isshin's going to kill you. He's going to sense your spiritual pressure, and he's going to freak out about Soul Society potentially finding you."

"I'm more worried about the crap amount of pain my body is in right now from doing that, and dealing with her to make sure she no longer causes problems in my classroom." Kaien pointed his finger at the girls. "Take charge. Modify their memories."

The artificial soul in his body tapped his hand. "Hai! I need you girls to listen to me."

Kaien then turned to the young female, and watched as she suddenly flinched. With a quick flash step he moved past her and tugged her out of the room by the back of her uniform. He pulled in his rieatsu to the best of his ability before heading to one of the empty club rooms. With one swift movement he pushed her into the room. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Isn't that obvious! You're a Shinigami! I'm going to kill you!"

"Correction. Was a Shinigami. I don't care about any of this business between you Quincy and the Shinigami that has gone on lately." He watched as the girl suddenly lifted her hands to create a new orb. A quick kido knocked her to the ground. He found himself flipping open his phone to call Urahara, but stopped when the door to the room slid opened. He turned his head expecting Isshin to be there, but instead he found a rather irate Ryuken.

"Care to explain why you're in your Shinigami form?"

"Care to explain why a ward of your Ishida clan is trying to kill me?"

"What ward?" Ryuken looked at the girl. His eyes narrowed at the girl. "Did my mother take you in?"

"It's none of your business! Your the father of that half-breed!"

"Be that as it may I suggest not saying anything to my mother about this."

"Why not! He's a damn Shinigami!"

"I doubt she would be pleased with the wanton destruction caused by her ward. Masaki was bad enough at rankling her, and she was blood related. I wouldn't want to guess what would happen to someone who isn't related to us by blood."

"She wouldn't because..." The girl suddenly stopped talking.

Kaien stepped over and released the bond on her. He turned to see Ryuken raising an eyebrow. "Are you sure you wish to do that?"

"I hold no malice towards her. I need to get back to my class. I should also call Urahara to make sure this mess gets cleaned up."

"No need. I'll take care of things. She'll be reintroducing herself to the class properly tomorrow as none of them and the staff remember her entering today."

"You said she wasn't to hear of this! If I have to..."

"I'll personally take care of reinstating you in school tomorrow. Today you're to skip school, and you're not to ever attack this man again."

The girl stood up and proceeded to stomp out of the room. Kaien rubbed the back of his head. "She's going to be a problem. Might be best I take up that offer of working at the other school next year."

Ryuken's sharp voice pierced the air. "I can clean up the mess here. I can not though handle the fact Isshin likely has felt your rieatsu."

The younger Shiba twin let out a curse. "I hope he has enough sense not to barge in at this point."

"I called him letting him know I would take care of the situation this time as I was in the area. He won't be bothering you about it until after he figures out I'm not going to bother telling him the details of what happened."

"That..." Kaien blinked a couple of times. "Wait? Have you been following me?"

"It's for your own good."
