Discovery chapter one

A bus moving at seemingly impossible speeds drives off into a whirling tunnel of darkness. But that is not what is important because the cargo as the driver would like call him has just awakened.

"Am I on a bus?" A lone figure shrouded in black had just begun to take in his surroundings.

"Why yes, yes you are where else would you be ?" The bus driver answered in voice that was close to mockery.

"Yah I guess I must have forgotten." For some reason he felt a pang of guilt." So where are we headed?"

"Where do think a school bus would take you?" The driver asked in a sarcastic voice.

The figure had begun to work through his mind trying to piece together who he was then it hit him what was his name? How could he forget something so important and so easily to remember as his name?

"Do-o you know my name?" The figure asked as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, though the driver could care less.

"Why yes I do your majesty Strawberry" the driving answered in a mocking tone. The driver must have had an amused smirk but one could not tell do to the fact his facial features were hidden by his hat. Though you could see his for had an unnatural glow that seemed like a pure white to a reflective yellow.

"my names Ichigo not strawberry" the being now known as Ichigo angrily retorted. His name was Ichigo kurosaki he could remember now; well sort of he knew his name but not his past.

Ichigo eventually decided he would rest until the bus arrived at its destination or at least until the other student had awaken. Then like a ton of bricks realization dawned on him the bus driver called him "your majesty" but then again it could be nothing.

After a ten minute ride the bus came to a halt in a dark forest.

Ichigo grabbed his cane and slowly tested out which leg needed the support once he found out it which one it was he turned to leave. Now that Ichigo stood up and was no longer obscured by his veil of darkness he was a tall 5,11 with bright orange hair that came down to his shoulders , his attire was simple black suit with a white button up shirt.

"Good luck my friend that school is nothing if not scary well then off you go" The driver never once let up his demonic smile as he waved Ichigo off the bus.

"Yes well thanks for the drive"

something must have clicked in the drivers head because his foreboding voice rang out" Oh your belongings will be brought to your room"

Embarrassed that he forgot about his belongings he just waved his hand impassively at the driver as he left.

While Ichigo walked through the forest along a very sketchy path he decided to inspect his cane. The cane had silver wrap around it like vines but the odd thing about them was one could not tell where the silver began and the black wood ended, the cane was 4,5 the handle though was like the hilt of a sword with a stylized Zangetsu written down the hilt but the weirdest thing about the cane was a skull on fire on the butt of said cane.

While lost in thought of his cane he failed to see a cyclist come up the path. " ah look out coming through!" The bike slammed into him while the person or more correctly girl fell on him .after the initial shock he attempted to regain his speech " Um hello?" he knew that should have hurt but he barely felt it and that worried him if he barley felt that how much did his leg really hurt or how badly damaged could it be?

"Oh Im so sorry I tried to stop but..." She seemed to be lost in a small daze when she saw a small trickle of blood "Oh let me help you up" as she jumped up and brushed the dirt off herself.

As they stood up she noticed his cane and felt very guilt for not only hitting him but he just happened to need a cane. Naturally she tried to pick it up but yelped in pain from the silver around it.

"Ouch!" She held her hand but realized most silver did not affect her so why did it ?Most silver was only meant to seal her ability not burn her flesh.

"What happened? Are you ok ...um what your name is?" Ichigo tried to smile as an apology but it came out as a semi frown while picking up said cane. "Hm why do I frown so much it's just a bit weird" he thought to himself.

"oh it's nothing I'm ok and it's Moka, Moka Akashiya and you are?" She asked happily seemingly forgetting she just ran him over.

"yes sorry where are my manners I am Ichigo Kurosaki" He noticed her pink hair and almost gothic dress but it seemed to accentuate her ...curves. "What the hell am I thinking? Though on another not I just might have a normal colour hair" but something in the back of his mind telling him it was not normal.

They made small talk until she left on her bike he placed his hand in his pocket and waved with the other. " oh wait what classes do I have?" almost as if we're planed he found a paper in his pocket with classes and room numbers. He realized he hated the idea of fate in that very moment.

By the time he had arrived the class had already started " damn who would place a school here of all places ? Class 193 huh odd but here goes nothing" he knocked on the door.

"Yes yes coming just wait I'll get it!" He heard someone scream at the top of their lungs, he recognized the sound to be female in origin.

"Sorry I'm late"

She noticed his cane"oh it's all right I just started you can take a seat over " Ichigo quickly crossed the classroom well as fast as he could which was not very.

"Hey cripple hurry up!" Some student in the back of the classroom yelled.

Ichigo remained quiet but seethed at his own quickly reigned in his emotions.

"As I was saying this school was built for helping monster to integrate into human society so we can co-exist!" The teacher seemed quite the cheerful person

"would it be better if we killed the men and rape the women he he he" the same student who had jabbed at Ichigo was now be applauded by the male side of the classroom. However the teacher did not seem to acknowledge his remark.

"The school does not have humans it is a crime to hurt a Human on earth it is there because we must hide our existence from them" Ichigo perked up at this because this would mean he too was a monster so now a new question, was what was he?

"This brings us to our two most important rules first" she became somber" humans are to never know we exist if a human discovers us or if a human comes hear the punishment is death ... Or something." She ended happily" the other is not to tell others what kind of monster you -"

"Sorry I'm late I got lost on my way here" Moka burst through the door, Ichigo's sweat dropped at this "she must have got here ten minutes before me how does one stay lost for that long"

"Oh it's ok just taking a seat over there" she pointed in Ichigo's direction.

As Moka walked up to her seat the men in the class started to get out of control until Ichigo slammed his cane into the ground. This simple action shut up the entire class and Moka just now realized she was sitting next to Ichigo.

"Ichigooooo!" She jumped at Ichigo performing a death hug on him." Hey ...ice t.. See..uo... again... Can't breathe" she noticed Ichigo turning a light blue.

"Oh no I'm hurting him again" she thought to herself While Ichigo's thought were more on the track of breath to see another day.

Jealous murmurs could be heard through the class room but other than that the class was uneventful

As the pair left the class room the vocal student from earlier decided he would like to "have" Moka for himself" hey Moka why don't you dump the cripple and have a real man" he remarked snidely.

Ichigo stoped walking with Moka who enjoyed rambling on but he didn't like the new company, Ichigo slowly turned to face the student and Moka's talking died down.

"See the weakling can't even speak he is so scared now ditch this trash and come with me Saizo Komiya a real man" Ichigo started laughing at this much to the shock of Moka who thinks with his leg like his he has to be weak at least a disadvantage,

"You think you can intimidate me? You foolish whelping." His voice was cold and dark. Saizo released a staggering amount of energy as he transformed into a monster a hulking beast with small tusks in his mouth.

Ichigo remembered how a few students commented on how he is being forced to come to this school because of misbehaviour and that he is an Ogre.

Ichigo's eyes turn a vibrant azure blue that almost glow and with a quick jump the Ogre and Ichigo were eye level and as Ichigo brought his cane down with a loud crack on the ogre's arm it the bones shattered. When people regain their senses Ichigo is standing behind the ogre with his cane held like a sword and eyes turning back to their natural chestnut brown.

"Filth should never insult their betters" Ichigo spat at the falling form of Saizo. People did not know what kind of monster he was, however he could be a vampire but their eyes were red were they not?.

Hey Ichigo I know it's against the rules but ...um" she twiddled jittery thumbs as she stuttered "what kind of a monster are you!" She all but yelled because he had scared her , also the fact she did not understand what kind of monster he was " is he a vampire but ... Our eyes are red not blue also he was as strong as my inner self without realsing but his cane is silver so he shouldn't be able to hold it" she was driving herself insane trying to figure it out.

"I really don't know ... Mabey I'm something new or old doesn't matter" he began to ponder his "fight" with Saizo and realized he cared for humans for both their strength and weakness " the weak do not rule the strong" where did that come from?

"How can you not know?" Now she was just confused

"For now it does not matter but what do think of humans?" He needed to know if he could trust her if she hated them he knew they could not be friends. He would not judge them for a reason beyond his understanding he just knew they needed to be protected.

"I hate them... I HATE them they treated me like a freak when I was a child they made me feel like I didn't belong" she almost teard up but regained her joyful almost childish personality. " But you feel the same right... I mean you're a monster like us-" she had begun to worry, could he like humans more than monsters?

"My ... Mother was human so if you hate them than you hate me" his voice became cold and he turned to leave" so my mother was human huh mabey I will regain my memory better in a human school?" His mind became a jumble of images of beautiful woman with hair as bright as his own.

"You can't be ... your strong please just wait Ichigo! " she couldn't believe that she finally found someone who would be her friend and she just pushed him away. "You think that I would hurt you ? Every living creature is unque everything is not to be judged on the base on the few or many ... There is always a choice "his mind began to pound just as his dorm came into view.

Moka was shocked into silence; she had just angered the first friend she has had in since ever. She had just wanted to have a friend and her own bias drove him away, she just watched as he walked away into the dorm rooms.

A half hour later

Ichigo had just finished a letter that would see him transferred to a human school. As he gathered his belongings he noticed that there were ten boxes of varying sizes with the same flaming skull on them as was on the end of his cane.

"I'll just check up on the bus driver and see if he would help me with this" as Ichigo left his dorm he felt like something was off like ... Moka was in trouble!

-mean while

"What am I going to do? I should say sorry " she had been moping around trying to find a way to -

"you should not be hear alone little girl you should have a man protect you" The voice came from the vile Saizo who started to show his true form which is worse then when Ichigo had fought him, he was radiating twice as much energy and his tongue had elongated which proceeded to lick her with slime that smelled of rotting flesh, his eyes were also now glowing yellow. As his transformation continued his bones started shatter and protrude from his shoulders.

Moka screamed and tried to make a run from it but she triped before making any real distance.

"What the hell are you doing RUN!" A voice rang out from her Rosario.

"Trash should learn its place "a cold voice made Moka aware of Ichigo presence which seemed to radiate a calm and protective aura in stark contrast to Saizo's dark disgusting aura.

"Ahhhhhhgggg last time was nothing but a fluke you damn cripple!" Saizo charged at Ichigo who was standing in a relaxed manner with his cane held like a sword.

Saizo charged at Ichigo in a almost insane rage which was easily side stepped by Ichigo who brought his cane down on Saizos back with a resounding thud, Saizo roared like a maimed animal and started swiping with his fists.

"What the hell's up with this how can someone who is injured be besting me and he's not even in his released form!" The longer the fight continued the bigger the difference in their strength become more apparent.

"Let's end this farce of a fight" Ichigo was still as calm as ever he wasn't even breaking a sweat but in his mind ... "my leg is in excruciating pain I need to end this now!" Ichigo blocked or parried each fist thrown at him

"Ichigo forced his strength into his cane and it charged into a bright azure coloured aura and with one last charge they sliced into each other .Ichigo's cane was now red but Saizo only had black cloth in his claws. Saizo fell down with broken ribs and a deep wound but though it was small it bled enough for Saizo to become unconscious.

"Moka are you alright?" She was speechless at what she just witnessed Ichigo overpowered an ogre in his sealed form ... How strong could he be?

"Thank you Ichigo! But are you still angry at me?" She asked and appeared to be making puppy eyes which seemed to have an effect on Ichigo.

"Of course I'm still mad at you, I was just getting ready to leave this school "He said in cold tone and at this Moka lowered her head. " However it would appear I have friend who needs a helping hand so how could I possibly leave you her here by herself?" his voice became soft and turned to her showing a warm smile.

Moka's heart leaped at hearing this and was happy to find a friend willing to her wellbeing before his own. In split second she was hugging him again while Ichigo just flicked his cane and the blood came as if it were never there.

In the proximity she lost controls and bit down on Ichigo's neck and was quickly overwhelmed with bliss, his blood was akin to a drug. "I guess she must be a vampire but I should stop her before she drains me of all my blood" Ichigo's only reaction to this was to raise an eyebrow.

"Hey do mind I kind of need that stuff to live" he said half joking half serious she quickly let go

"Um you're not freaked out or anything?" She was dreading his answer would he leave her for drinking his blood without her permission?

" it's alright but just ask ok I would gladly help you out when you need a "snack" but remember this ,I am more than just a blood bag ok" his voice started out kind but turned cold near the end scarring her.

"Thanks ichigo but we should get Saizo to the infirmary before he bleeds out or something" Moka said a bit embarrassed trying to divert attention from her. Though she like how it felt to be examined but at the same time it unnerved her. They proceeded to unceremoniously drag Saizo to the school infirmary

They said their goodbyes for the day and when't back to their respective dorms and dreamt of the future and their first friend they have made.

In an unknown location in dark room are group of four people observe a recording of Ichigo release his power.

A tall figure spoke up " he is not ready to return, his mind is still scared regardless to the fact he has forgotten who he is , stubborn bastard" the figure fixed his glasses and smirked as he finished talking.

A girl who was the second shortest in the room decided to voice her opinion" He has a duty that can't be ignored, his disappearance is affecting morality among the citizens" she tipped her hat down as she finished giving her opinion to their current leader.

The projection ended as their leader came out from the shadows in a relaxed motion, perhaps to relaxed he began in his normal monotone voice "We will leave him in the school until he recovers, until then I will retain all authority"

The girl who was not only the shortest but also one the oldest in the room spoke up in her childish voice "I am unsure of how much time we can buy him but we must be strong for him"

That wraps up the first chapter review any suggestions but there is much to happen and revealed .

This was a rewrite hence my long long long absence. Sorry about that just that I wanted to change up this story and there were bothersome plot hole littering the place.

And big thanks to friakto for being the first reviewer the rest of you shall be rewarded if you can name all the mystery people. Hint the shadows would pale in comparison to this dimension.
