Ichigo was a fun out going kid he had a lot of friends until one fateful day whilst walking with his mum she was killed. Ichigo blamed himself because he ran across the street to look into a shop window and when his mother ran after him she was hit by a car and died he blamed himself and after that pulled away from everyone.

Years went by but he continued to blame himself. To help deal with his pain he took his anger out on anyone who annoyed him mainly the local thugs of Karakura. He'd spend more time in detention then any student what was worse he started more fights then anyone he was just so angry someone mentioned his hair they'd get beaten up. Over the first few years he was suspended from school six times it was a miracle they allowed him to keep coming back.

His dad sent him to a shrink but it didn't work he shut down refusing to speak with them so there wasn't anything they could do they couldn't exactly force him to speak to them. At school a lot of the kids were scared of him but he couldn't care less they had no idea what he had done he'd killed his mum by his stupidity and getting over excited.

There is one girl in the school who likes him though her names Soifon like him she's a bit of a loaner and like him she has problems with anger she's not the tallest girl and at first she gained a lot of stick from girls until she beat them up in a way there a perfect match both full of pent up anger. The only problem is Ichigo doesn't talk to anyone probably doesn't even know she exists.

Ichigo's sat at his desk surprisingly over the last few days he's not had a detention in a way he kind of misses the rush. He's bored at the moment as the teacher is late so he's just drawing he likes to draw when he's bored he hears arguing outside the room "Soifon why are you such a bitch you always act so high and mighty your just as bad as that arsehole Ichigo Kurosaki."

Soifon laughs "I should take that as a compliment Lilinette we both hate pathetic arseholes who think they can do what they want. You just have a big mouth it's about time some shuts it for good or are you going to attack me with your cronies again what were they called Menoly, Loly, Hiyori and Yoshi you remember what happened the last time you ganged up on me it didn't end well for any of you."

Ichigo smirks "Seems this Soifon likes to fight" Ichigo then notices a guy staring at him "What you staring at you want to take a trip to the morgue" He smirks as the guy who looks away "Thought so arsehole" Just then he sees Soifon come in he smirks and she sees it and smirks back. Just then the teacher comes in and the class starts. The class is boring and Ichigo hardly pays any attention to it.

After class it's break time so Ichigo leaves he goes over to the drinks machine and grabs a soda as he turns around he sees Soifon behind him she nods "Kurosaki right" He raises an eyebrow it's obvious by what she said earlier that she knows exactly who he is. He raises an eyebrow "You already know who I am Soifon" She smirks "I guess everyone knows who psycho Ichigo is" He chuckles "See I know you knew who I was."

She grins "Can I ask you something" He grins "Didn't you just ask me something" She grins "Your a bit of a wise ass ain't ya" He shrugs "Well go on then what did you want to ask me."

She seems confused then she smiles "Oh yea so you fight all the time are you just a brawler" He shrugs "I guess I used to do karate but stopped years ago" She nods "How come" He sighs "None of your business" She nods "OK" He nods "Is that all" She nods "Yea."He walks past her and she watches him go and sighs she wants to get to know him better but he's so cold."

Behind her he hears a cough she turns around and sees Tatsuki, Soifon looks at her "Do you want something" Tatsuki sighs "Why do you want to know about Ichigo" Soifon sighs "What is it to you" Tatsuki sighs "He's my friend" Soifon scoffs "He has no friends."

Tatsuki sighs "He gave up Karate when his mum died" Soifon looks stunned "What happened" Tatsuki sighs "He was nine he was with his mum he ran across the road and new toy he wanted was in the window his mum went after him but she saw the car to late" Soifon's aye's look sad "Is that why he's angry" Tatsuki sighs then nods "He blames himself he always has for years."

Later on in the day he's walking home he's walking down near the lake when he hears some laughing "Well Well Well if it isn't the angry boy, we owe you a beating I've brought some of my friends with me" Ichigo drops his bag "20 on 1 I'm honoured but you still ain't good enough" He pulls out his phone and dials a number "Yea I'd like to ask for an ambulance wait might need about five, yea I'm down at the lake in Karakura."

He then hangs up without giving his name "So you ready" They nod the leader smiles "Get this punk" Five of them run at Ichigo he charges at them also catching the first with a gut shot, then spins around catching the next with a roundhouse kick to the face, The next gets kneed in the gut then receives an uppercut. The last one receives a three hit combo to his chest and face the last one just gets headbutted. Ichigo grins "Five down 15 to go."

The boss groan "Get in there" 10 more run in Ichigo's ready for them but before they get close out of nowhere Soifon arrives and in the next two minutes leaves them all in the dirt with some nice karate moves. Ichigo at first was annoyed until he saw it was Soifon and he was interested to see what she could do. He's actually impressed he looks at the boss who's shitting himself.

Soifon then jogs up to Ichigo "That was fun" He smirks "You do know this was my fight" She grins "Yea but I was bored watching you" He grins "Well the last five are mine" She nods "Go for it" He nods and steps forward this time he rushes the last five catching the first one with a dropkick.

He then flips up and punches the next in the face knocking him out cold with one punch, The next is caught by an elbow in the gut then then the face. Ichigo then grabs the next one and gives him a Karate flip then kicks him in the back the last one tries to run but only ends up getting closelined in the back of the head.

Ichigo then turns to the boss "You want some" The boss looks at Ichigo and gulps then runs off. Soifon approaches him "Is this a regular thing" He nods "Yea they never learn they just keep coming back for more beatings" She grins "You got some good moves you really laid into them" He nods "Why go easy on them they piss me off." She nods "Well if it happens often I'm not surprised."

He nods and picks up his bag and starts to walk off. Soifon calls to him "Ichigo wait up" He looks over his shoulder "Why" She grabs her bag and runs up to him "You hungry" He looks at her "Why" She grins "There's a new noodle bar opened you wanna go" He shrugs "OK" They both walk off. He smirks "Your fast they didn't know what hit them."

She grins "It was kind of the point" He nods "So I heard Lilinette earlier you don't seem to like each other" She nods "She's a bitch she winds me up she thinks because I'm small I'm weak" He nods "Size isn't everything look at Bruce Lee he was small but try and take him on and you might as well check yourself into the hospital."

She nods "That's true so the reason I asked you earlier was because I go to this dojo and wondered if we could be sparing partners" He nods "Oh I see" She smirks "You don't have to if you don't want to" He sighs "Why do you want that I'm not really a nice guy" She grins "Me either but I like you your strong and I want to get to know you better" He looks at her "But why" She grins "Me and you are alike no offence but we both have anger issues I think we can help each other."

He nods "OK" She looks at him "OK what" He smiles "You wanted to be training partners right it's not that I don't have a lot of spare time" She nods "Cool so after we eat I'll take you to the Dojo" He nods "OK" She nods and they walk in silence. When they get to the new restaurant they eat.

After the food they go to the Dojo for Ichigo to sign up. After the dojo Ichigo splits up with Soifon and they go off in different directions. Ichigo gets home Yuzu greats him "Ichi-Nii you've missed dinner" Ichigo nods "It's OK I've already eaten" Karin nods "You don't usually eat out" Ichigo nods "Yea but I went to that new noodle bar" Yuzu raises an eyebrow "By yourself" Ichigo shrugs "Nope" He then walks away and to his room.

The next day he walks to school when he gets there he sees that girl Lilinette he smirks she's with her friends Loly, Hiyori, Menoly and Yoshi he smirks "You waiting for Soifon" Lilinette looks at him "What do you want Kurosaki" Loly smiles "Hey Kurosaki-Kun" Menoly smiles "Morning Kurosaki-Kun" Lilinette looks at them "What the hell" Loly grins "What Ichigo's hot just because he rejected you doesn't mean we all have to hate him."

Ichigo's still there smirking, Lilinette looks at him "So what do you want" He smirks "Just to give you some advice yesterday I was fighting thugs I took out 10 of them and so did she two minutes and they were all out cold so I'd advice you to give up on attacking her you'd only end up getting beaten up" He then walks off. Loly and Menoly look at each other then Loly speaks "I'm not getting beaten up again lets go Menoly" Menoly nods "Enjoy ya beating" Loly and Menoly then walk off. Lilinette looks pissed "What the hell."

Ichigo gets into his class he's walking to his desk Tatsuki looks up she nods at Ichigo and he nods back she smiles and thinks to herself he seems happy. Soifon then comes into the room she sees Ichigo "Hey Ichigo" He nods "Hey Soifon" Everyone's shocked that there both interacting. Tatsuki smiles.

Soifon sits on the next desk to Ichigo. She grins "I saw half of Lilinette's posse were missing" Ichigo nods "Yea I saw them earlier gave them a chance to avoid a beating Loly and Menoly left I think it's a personal between you and Lilinette the others seem to just follow her lead" She nods "Yea I figured as much" He nods "She doesn't like me either" She nods "Why does she hate you" He shrugs "She asked me out I rejected her she's got a big mouth she's been like that for years" She nods "I see."

He nods "So how often do you go to the Dojo" She grins "A few times a week today is one of those days" He nods "I see" She grins "So you up for a Spar after school then" He nods "Bring it on" She grins "Oh I will and don't think because I'm a girl that I'm weak."

He smirks "From what I saw last night your far from weak but I won't go easy on you" She grins "Good because I'd hate to put you in hospital" He grins" Same here" She grins. Tatsuki watches this and smirks seems the angry twins are friends not that there twins or anything there just similar.

Later on in the day Tatsuki approaches Ichigo "Hey Ichigo" He turns around "Tatsuki" She grins "You and Soifon seem to be getting on" He shrugs "She's a good fighter and very fast" She nods "You still fighting thugs" He nods "Yea we both kicked ass yesterday not that I noticed she was there took out 10 thugs in less then two minutes she was like a ninja" She grins "I'm glad you have a friend then" He nods "Your still my friend you always will be but I'm not a nice person."

She sighs "Ichigo you are a nice guy you just have a anger management issues" He smirks "So does she" She nods "OK" He nods "I have to go me and her and going to spar she thinks she's gonna put me in hospital" She laughs "Well as a girl I hope she does it" He punches her arm "Whatever." She smirks "Have fun then" He smirks "When do I not when fighting in concerned" She just smirks.

Ichigo then walks off it doesn't take long for him to get home to change and grab his new Karate clothes he bought when he joined the Dojo the Sensei Yoruichi said she's decide what belt he was after she saw him spar to gauge his skills luckily he never forgot what he learned even though it's been years since he last stepped foot in a dojo well other then yesterday evening.

He arrives at the dojo at 5pm and Soifon's outside what is a surprise is she's talking to Tatsuki he smirks "No surprise she is a fighter herself but how did she know he had joined this dojo hers is the other side of town. As he arrives Soifon and Tatsuki look at him Soifon smirks "You ready" He nods "Ready and waiting."

He turns to Tatsuki "What are you doing here this isn't your dojo" She grins "Well actually it is see the one we went to years ago went down hill a lot of lowlifes joined our Sensei moved away and the new guy was a joke acted like he didn't want to be there" He nods "So you joined here."

She nods "Yea after I left I just trained in a field or wherever I could find then when Soifon joined the school and I saw her fight I followed her and she arrived here Yoruichi-Sama is a great teacher even better then our old Sensei" He nods "OK didn't know you two were friends."

Soifon shrugs "Well we wasn't really we just pretty much nodded to each other going to the same Dojo and school so well we decided to befriend each other after we spoke yesterday besides she's a fighter like us we've fought each other and now she can hold her own against me."

Tatsuki just smirks as does Ichigo "I'm well aware of Tatsuki we used to fight often" Soifon nods although she's kind of jealous in a way Ichigo and Tatsuki know each other her and Tatsuki have spoken often and Tatsuki did mention her old Sparing partner but she had no clue it was Ichigo."

Soifon wants to get her away from Ichigo she likes him and doesn't want someone else making a move even if they are friends. She nods "We better go in I want to see what you got" Ichigo nods "OK catch you later Tats" She smiles "Good luck Strawberry" At hearing that Soifon is even more jealous they seem to have nicknames for each other she doesn't want to risk anything.

Tatsuki smiles "Good luck Soifon" Soifon just nods kind of confused but she enters the Dojo followed by Ichigo. He goes straight to the locker room to get changed it's been so long since he's actually had a spar years even within a week of his mum dying he quit the Dojo, The school football team and the basketball team he wanted to be alone but now years later he's back in a dojo.

Soifon is a strange girl really most girls minus Tatsuki give him a wide berth as do half the guys in the school but like Tatsuki, Soifon openly talks to him not that Tatsuki has spoken to him much an occasional nod that's it until today.

He comes out of the Dojo he sees Soifon ready for him as well as Tatsuki leaning against the wall and then there's the Sensei here Yoruichi Shihoin the moment he laid eyes on her he was shocked she's beautiful and as a Sensei probably strong and fast also.

Then he sees Soifon she is attractive also until now he's never really noticed but now with her waiting for him he can finally see for himself. In his head his subconscious is saying ignore her looks it will only distract you your here to spar love is a weakness that will only end in disaster. He closed his eyes and sighed then he got into a fighting stance.

Soifon saw him staring and inside she was glad but then his facial expression changed like his mind was telling him to ignore her to not get attached then he closes his eyes and sighed then when he opened his eyes it was like she was looking at a completely different person he got into a fighting stance and now the look he's giving her is one of determination she sighs.

Tatsuki saw everything also she suspected that Soifon might have a crush on Ichigo but will anything come of it he's a different person now then he was years ago he's angry, resentful, bitter is there a place for love within Ichigo she saw the look he gave Soifon when he first came out she was surprised it actually looked like he was checking her out as well as the Sensei but then all of a sudden everything changed and he became bitter again like his subconscious was shouting at him to ignore her and she sighed Ichigo is so angry with himself.

He needs someone to help him move on maybe Soifon is that girl but it will be a hard job he's been alone for years but he has opened up to Soifon and her so maybe there is a hope. They will have to work on him for Tatsuki to help her oldest friend and her new friend and for Soifon to show him that he's not alone that together they can overcome anything.
