Bonus Chapter: Revival of the Mysterious Psychic

One week after the 'master psychic' incident, Ichigo woke up with a yell, startling Rukia who'd been just about to knock on his door. She rushed through it and watched as the orange haired teenager twitched on his bed covers like he was in pain.

'What's going on?' her tone was sceptical and she put her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer, 'Don't just go yelling out like that this early in the morning,'

'Rukia,' Ichigo rolled over to face her, face twisted in agony, 'My leg's broken, I'm sure of it,'

'Your leg's broken?' Rukia couldn't believe her ears, 'What, did you jump out the window and then climb back up while you were sleeping? I don't think so,'

'No, really,' giving up, he flopped onto his back and lay there, trying not to move, 'I can tell that it's broken,'

Now Rukia wasn't so sure he was lying, 'You're seriously serious?' when he nodded, biting back a comment about her wording just in case she abandoned him, the short girl continued quickly, 'I should get your father, he does run a medical clinic after all,'

'Right,' hoping that Isshin wasn't going to go spastic and try to beat him up, Ichigo just nodded, trying to ignore the agonising pain in his leg.

As Rukia left the room, he suddenly remembered the psychic Yuzu day and what she'd said about him yelling and then waking up with a broken leg. Recalling the night before, he'd been shouting at his father constantly as they fought. Ichigo's face went pale as he realised that Yuzu's previously strange and seemingly impossible prediction had come true. He only hoped that it wouldn't be the same for her other one as he really didn't want to fail any exams.

'Kurosaki! You've failed this exam!' the teacher glared at him from behind her glasses, 'What do you have to say for yourself? Usually you're a good student,'

Ichigo stared at her dumbstruck. He was at the doorway of the classroom in the process of leaving as school had just finished and now . . . this?

It had only been a few days since his leg had been fixed up, and he still had the cast, crutches and mental trauma from the whole incident.

Why did I refuse to play soccer with Karin this morning? It was mean, Ichigo realised that, once again, psychic Yuzu's prediction had happened.

'It's a long story, teacher,' he felt the fury building up inside his body, 'You really don't want to know it,'

'No I don't! I want you to redo this test tomorrow,' turning around, she went back to her filing.

As Ichigo hurried from the classroom, moving along with his crutches as fast as he could, he suddenly lost it.

'Aaaargh! Yuzu how could you?' screaming his lungs out, he threw one of the crutches out a nearby window, then, unthinkingly, the other one too, 'Urahara! You'll pay for this!'

'You shouldn't have lost your temper like that,' Rukia sat on the couch opposite Ichigo and stared at him over the rim of her hot drink, 'You look pretty foolish now,'

Ichigo didn't need her to tell him. His father had had to come and pick him up from the corridor he'd been in when he said farewell to his crutches. Unfortunately they hadn't survived the multi-floor drop to the ground once they'd passed through the window and were rendered unusable. Now he'd been given a wheelchair as his father had reasoned that, with a broken leg, it would be harder to throw out another window.

'Shut up,' he still felt annoyed and embarrassed, not to mention furious.

'Ichi-nii! I heard what happened. Are you alright?' Yuzu hurried into the room, ignorant of the twitch starting above her brother's eye.

'Yuzu,' Ichigo breathed in deeply, trying to hold back his burning anger, 'Please . . . just make a nice dinner and try not to talk to me too much until I've recovered,'

'Oh, okay,' with a sad and confused expression, Yuzu turned and walked out of the room.

'If you start ignoring Yuzu, then a Hollow will come and draw bunny ears and a moustache on your face,' Rukia's tone was dark as she lowered her cup, violet eyes wide and blank.

'Noooooo!' Ichigo couldn't cope with another 'mysterious psychic' and he couldn't escape either, 'Yuzu! Yuzu come back here! I'm sorry!'

When his younger sister didn't return, Ichigo put his face in his hands and tried to stay sane. Consequently, he missed seeing Rukia's smirk as she returned her cup to her lips.

And then Ichigo heard a light laugh that could only belong to one Kurosaki Yuzu.
