I awakened in an unfamiliar bed. Where am I? Where is Watari? I need sweets. Some cake would be great right about now. "Oh, you're awake. Finally." I opened up my eyes completely."Who are you?" I asked. "Isn't it more polite to say your name before asking another's?" The man asked. I thought for a moment. "I'm Ryuzaki."

"I'm Ichigo. Ichigo Kurosaki." He said to me. "Strawberry?" That reminds me, I'm starving. Ichigo sighed. "Yes, it means strawberry." I love strawberry's…which once again reminds me that I'm hungry.

"Do you want something to eat?" Ichigo asked. "Yes, please." I said. "Well come downstairs. You also need to meet my family. And watch out for my dad." I tilt my head to the side. "Never mind." He said. I followed him down the steps.

The next thing I knew, there was a foot flying right at me. I instinctively dodged to the left, and stood on my hands to kick whoever it was. Ichigo stared. "Whoa!" I heard a young girl, most likely around 11 or 12. I sighed. Well that's going to get me kicked out. Just great. And I'm still hungry.

"N-nice job. This kid's strong." The man said, getting up from the floor. "I'm sorry." I said. Ichigo laughed. "I told you to be careful around my dad." He said. This is his dad? "Be careful when you walk down the steps." Huh? He sounded like I'd be staying here for awhile.

"So do you want something to eat?" A girl with short, dark hair asked me. "Of course he does. Look how skinny he is! He has to be starved!" Another girl, with light blonde hair, said. "Don't talk about a guest like that!" Ichigo said. "No, it's alright. I am hungry. Do you have any cake?" The blonde girl looked at me like I was infected with some strange disease. "Cake?" She asked. "Shouldn't you eat real food?"

"No, I'll be fine with cake." The little blonde girl ran into the kitchen. "Oh, and this is Karin Kurosaki, my younger sister." Ichigo said. "And the other one?"

"That's Yuzu. My other little sister. And this is my dad, Isshin Kurosaki." He told me. "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Kurosaki." I said. "No need for formalities." He said. "Just call me 'Isshin'."

Yuzu came back with a plate. It had a large piece of cake, and a fork. "Here you go!" She placed it on the table. "Thank you." I said, crouching on the chair. "Um, aren't you gonna sit? Like, normally?" Karin asked. I sighed. "I don't sit like this because I want to. If I don't sit like this, my deductive reasoning drops by 40%." They all eyed me. "Are you serious?" She asked. "Yes, very." I replied simply. Ichigo put his palm to his face. "Man, this kid's a weirdo." Kid? How old did he think I was? "Oh, by the way." Ichigo said. "You're gonna be starting your first day of High school tomorrow. High school? I'm an adult! Oh, why not?

"Okay." I said. "You'll have to wear a uniform. I have an extra one upstairs." Joy. I hate uniforms. "Okay." I replied instead. Once I finished my cake, I walked upstairs. Ichigo followed. "So what do you think f my family?" He asked. "They are quiet interesting." I told him. "Like you're one to talk." He said. "You have dark circles under your eyes, like you haven't slept in a week. You slouch, sit funny. And you say we're interesting?"

"Yes. Your family is certainly not normal." I replied. He sighed and entered his room. I followed him. He pointed to his closet. "You're gonna have to sleep in here, alright? "Okay." I said. It's not like I would sleep anyway. It was going to be a long night.

"Ryuzaki? Hey!" I had gotten lost in my own thoughts again. "Yes?" He sighed. "I asked you if you needed some blankets for in there." I nodded. "Yes, please." He handed me two. "Thank you." I put them in the closet. "It's almost 10, I'm going to bed. Night, Ryuzaki-kun."

"Good night." I stepped onto the bed in the closet. It was cold in there. I wrapped a blanket around me. "That's better." I sighed. The warmth made me drowsy. I soon fell asleep.

I yawned. Morning already? Ichigo was knocking on the door. "Wake up, Ryuzaki!" He yelled. "I'm awake." I said drowsily. He opened the door. "Good morning." I said. "Yeah." He said. "Now hurry up and get changed." He said, handing me a uniform. I took it and closed the door.

After changing, Ichigo and I walked down stairs to the already energetic living room. "Good morning Ichi-ni! And good morning Ryuzaki-kun!" "Morning Yuzu, Karin." I nodded. "Good morning." I said. "Where's Dad?" Ichigo asked. "He's working."

"Breakfast's ready!" Yuzu called. They all walked over to the table. "Aren't you gonna eat Ryuzaki-kun?" Karin asked. "No thank you. I'm not hungry." I lied. I'd go buy a cupcake later. "It's time to go." Ichigo stood. "Let's go, Ryuzaki."

We walked down the street. "Oh, before we get to school, I need to visit someone. He pulled a vase with a flower in it out of his bag. We walked towards a pole. I saw some sort a figure. A girl. She was crying. Was it a spirit? She certainly wasn't human.

Ichigo knelt down and placed the bottle below her. She looked at him. "You can see me?" She asked. "Of course I can. I've always been able to see ghosts." So it was a ghost. This was getting weird. "Who is this?" I asked. He stared at me. "You can see her?" I nodded. "Plain as day." The girl smiled. "Yay! Does this mean you guys are my friends?" Ichigo smiled. "Of course we are. Now I have to go. Bye bye."

"I'm surprised, Ryuzaki-kun. I didn't know you could see spirits." I didn't look at him. "I didn't know either."

We soon arrived at the school. I walked in. Of course, I got quite a few stares. Ichigo walked with me, and two kids ran up to him. "Who's this?" The short one with black hair asked. "This is Ryuzaki." The boy smiled. "I'm Mizuiro Kojima. Nice to meet you." He bowed. I bowed. "You as well." The boy with brown hair spoke up. "I'm Keigo Asano!" I nodded. "Nice to meet you." I said.

The teacher walked in. "Okay, class is starting!" She yelled.

After class was over, me and Ichigo immediately walked home. When we reached the house, we heard a loud scream. "Yuzu!" Ichigo yelled. What I saw next, I will never forget. A large…thing was standing at Ichigo's house. It was holding Yuzu in its giant hand. "What's going on?" I was amazed. What was this thing? "C'mon Ryuzaki, we gotta save them!" Ichigo yelled. "What are we supposed to do? We don't have weapons, or anything!" I yelled back. He ignored me, and ran at it anyway.

"You idiot." I said. I ran after him. "Karin! Yuzu!" He yelled. The…thing laughed. Just then, something happened. A girl appeared and began fighting the monster. "Whats going on?" I asked, bewildered. "I don't know." Ichigo said. The girl was thrown back, near me. I ran to her. "Are you okay?" I asked.

Her eyes widened. "You can see me?" She asked. "Is that a problem?" Ichigo said, walking behind me. "Yes! I'm a soul reaper! Humans can't see us!" I sighed. "Well, Soul Reaper, we can see you." I said. "Is there anything we can do to help you? You're hurt." She nodded. "I can…turn you both into soul reapers."

"Us?" Ichigo said. "How are you supposed to do that?" I nodded. "I'll stab you." She said. "Stab us? How would that help?" I asked. "Just trust me." "Fine." Ichigo said. "You trust her?" I asked. "Not really." He said. "But I need to save my family." I sighed. "Alright. Go ahead." Ichigo went first. I watched as the sword went through him. Literally. "You're next." "Okay. Go ahead, Soul Reaper." She smirked. "I hope you remember. My name is Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki." I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I was wearing something else. I had a sword in my hand. It wasn't large, but enough to do damage. Besides, I fought with my feet.

I sheathed the sword. Ichigo was standing next to me, with a giant sword in his hand. "Let's go, Ryuzaki." We ran towards the hollow.
