Chapter 1

Dreams are the minds way to relax. The subconscious takes over and flashes appear. Sometimes more vivid ones play like a movie inside the mind. Though rare, there are ones that are glimpses of the future and that's where I belong. My name is Katarina Misora and as long as I can remember, my dreams have been glimpses of the future.

My parents finally had had enough of my dreams, so they are sending me off to a family in Japan that my father knew while in the military. They hoped that some time away from America would be the best thing for me; but it was their way of saying they hoped my crazy dreams would stop.

The plane was cramped and the person next to me bumped into my arm several times. All I could think of was that I was grateful that I had an aisle seat. The flight attendant walked down the walkway servicing the passengers as she moved. My mouth felt dry and I was really warm due to the tight environment.

"Miss" I called raising my hand to catch her attention.

"Yes, is there something you need?" she asked.

"A drink of water please"

Her smile was sweet; but very fake. I supposed her job required her to be civil and nice to everyone. The gentleman next to me sighed heavily and I turned my head to look at him; but he was fast asleep.

When she did return, the bottle of water was frost covered. I was thrilled to know that it was cold and not lukewarm. Twisting the cap, I took a long drink. The cold water slid down my throat, chilling it to be a painful level.

"Attention passengers, we will be arriving in Karakura Town in fifteen minutes. Please fasten your safety belts and prepare for landing" the Captain announced.

Nervous butterflies started to flutter in the middle of my stomach. I was almost to the place that would be my new home until my parents decided to bring me back to America. I was furious with them for making the decision without my input. Sixteen years old and I was on my own. I honestly didn't understand their logic.

The landing was bumpy to say the least and the airport was crowded. Trying to get to my luggage was a freaking core. I think I got stepped on five times, shoved ten times, and hit at least six times. I officially hated airports.

Once I was in line for my suitcase, I started to scan the area for a sign with my name on it. My eyes rolled when I saw the sign. Lime green with hearts, it looked like a little girl designed it. The man that held the sign had spiky black hair and from what I could see, brown eyes. There were two young girls at his side. They couldn't have been any more than ten or eleven years old.

My dark green suitcase appeared on the baggage carousel and I quickly snatched it up. Walking to the family was the hardest thing I had to do. They seemed nice enough; but I simply didn't know them.

"You must be Katarina" he said in an upbeat voice.

"I am and you must be Isshin Kurosaki" I replied wiping the sweat from my palms on the side of my jeans.

"Yes and this is Yuzu and Karin, my twin daughters"

I looked at them closely. Yuzu had light brown hair that framed her tiny childish face and brown eyes. Karin, on the other hand, was more tomboyish. She had short black hair that touched her chin and dark grey eyes. Both waved and gave a small smile in greeting.

"I do have another child. He's around your age. He'll be the one to show you around the town and school"

"I see, what's his name?" I asked curiously.

Neither one of my parents told me that there was going to be someone my age living there. Isshin got a sly smirk upon his face and I suddenly regretted asking for his name. "I'll let him introduce himself when we get home" he stated and I didn't object.

We took a taxi back to their residence. I learned that Isshin was a single father. His wife passed away six years ago. Yuzu was sweet and I instantly liked her motherly nature. He opened the door and I stepped inside.

The warm feeling of home washed over me. Yuzu began to take things out of the cabinets to make dinner. Karin grabbed a soccer ball and rushed outside. I felt out of place; but I took a step forward, sitting my suitcase on the floor next to my discarded shoes.

"Katarina, you'll be sharing a room with the girls. There is a bed for you and you can share their closet" Isshin addressed.

"Thank you and please call me Kat"

He raised an eyebrow at me and then smiled, realizing that I trusted him to take care of me. "You look a lot like your father" he commented and I gave him a satisfied smile. Kat was the nickname I usually went by at him; so there was no reason not to use it here to. I looked over at Yuzu, who was cutting fresh vegetables, and walked closer to her.

"Can I help?" I asked.

"Sure, can you rinse those off" she asked.

"Okay"

I was happy to help. I actually liked to cook, unlike my mother. All she ever did was complain about it. Dinner was finished right as the door opened. I looked up from the counter and saw a young man walk in. He had short spiky orange hair and brown eyes. He was quite tall for his age and I felt something was different about him.

He looked at me and took in every detail of my shoulder length black hair and cerulean blue eyes. My eyes were always called fake back home; but I knew they were real. I was average height for a teenage girl, probably 5'5'' or so. "Uh…" he started; but was interrupted by Isshin kicking him in the stomach.

The young teenage man rolled into the wall next to the door. I was completely stunned by what I was seeing.

"You're late; dinner is a seven in this house"

"I was a freaking minute late, sue me"

I blinked several times, registering what had transpired between them. "You're late to meet the newest member of the family" Isshin stated. The young man turned to look at me once more.

"Katarina Misora, nice to meet you" I said cheerfully.

"Ichigo…"

I shook his extended hand. A spark of electricity shot up through my arm and I quickly retracted my hand. "What the hell was that?" I mentally asked myself. Yuzu put plates on the table and we quickly sat down to eat. The meal was spent listening to the twins talk about school. To be honest, I couldn't wait to start school in the morning.

After dinner, I carried my suitcase upstairs and into the room I would be sharing with the twins. The bed was big enough for me and the comforter was dark green with black flowers. I smiled at the sweet gesture. They had attempted to learn what they could about me from my parents.

"Katarina…" Ichigo's voice came from the doorway.

"Call me Kat please" I replied.

"Okay then. Kat, here is your school uniform for tomorrow. Dad picked it up before he picked you up at the airport today"

I took the small pile of clothing from him, careful as to not to touch him. "Thank you" I said softly. He took a step back; but never looked away from me. "Could he tell that I was different?" I asked myself.

"School starts at eight; I leave here around 7:30 to make it on time"

"Okay, I'll see you in the morning"

"Yeah…"

He turned away and walked across the hall to his room. Opening my bag, I pulled out a nightgown. Sleep easily took over and I found myself at ease within my dreams.

Ahead of me was a tall building from the town and on top of it was a man. I squinted my eyes, trying to get clear view of him; but all I could see was a black shihakushō and crimson red hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail.

The cool breeze blew through my hair and I felt like I knew him somehow. A screeching growl sounded above me and my eyes shot open wide. A large creature appeared out of the sky and headed right in my direction. Saliva dripped from its open mouth and I could feel its hot breath on my skin.

"Wha…what are you?" I asked the fear soaking into my brain.

My body wouldn't move no matter how many times I demanded it to. The beast closed in and I shielded my face with my hands, preparing for the painful death of being eaten alive; but the pain never came. Opening my eyes, I saw the man from the top of the building holding off the creatures attack with a katana blade.

"Stand back" he ordered.

I didn't object and I quickly moved further away; but close enough to watch him. I watched him leap into the air and slash down through the center of the creatures head. It began to dust away immediately into nothing. The man turned to look at me and I got a good look at him.

His crimson red hair fell into his brown eyes and I saw the tribal tattoos he hid behind the white headband. I also noticed they were also on his chest, though I couldn't really seem them.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Uh…yeah…" I replied unable to find my words.

He took a step closer to me, examining me closely. Maybe a little too close; but his masculine scent waved under my nose causing butterflies to flutter in my stomach. "Who…are you?" I asked.

I shot up in bed, sweat dripping from my face. Looking around the room, I saw the girls were still asleep. At least I didn't wake them up. Running a hand through my damp sweat filled hair; I tossed the covers off and tiptoed out of the room. The clock in the hall read 4 am. "Great, I'm going to have bags under my eyes for my first day of school" I mentally complained.

I looked out the window in the hallway. The moon was full and the light from it shined right through, slightly blinding me. The dream I had started to crawl its way into my mind. Was it a regular dream or was it a glimpse of the future? How could I tell the difference? Do those types of creatures' exist and who was that man? There were so many questions about the dream that bothered me and I hated the fact that I was cursed with this ability.

"Kat…" a sleepy voice said from behind me.

I turned around swiftly and I saw Ichigo standing there with a small glass of water in his hand. His hair was messy and he only wore a white muscle shirt and a pair of shorts. I could see that he was built in a muscular sense. "Ichigo…" I replied almost in a whisper.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I…I had a dream…" I replied telling the truth without telling the full truth.

"I see…well try not to think about it. We have to get up in a couple hours and there is a lot to do in the morning"

He reached behind his head to scratch it, nervously. Was he nervous around me? I decided to ignore the gesture and just listen to what he said. "Goodnight Ichigo" I said walking back into his sister's room. I lay back down and I let sleep take me again, hoping that the dreams would leave me alone for the rest of the night.

The next morning, I awoke a 630 and I showered before everyone else. The water felt great against my skin and it felt good to wash out the sweat from my hair. I dressed in the uniform that I was given and I sighed when I looked in the mirror. It wasn't me at all. The white blouse hugged my breasts too tightly to my liking; but I knew if I went a size larger I'd be swimming in it. The skirt seemed a little too short for me; but I wasn't about to complain about it.

Yuzu had breakfast on the table already. I was impressed by her ethics. She would be an awesome mother when the day came. Ichigo came into the kitchen dressed in his uniform and Isshin tried to blindside him with a kick to the face. Ichigo caught his leg and swiftly kicked him instead. "Oh come on you two, just sit an eat breakfast" Yuzu protested.

She was an amazing cook and I couldn't help but eat everything, even though I was so full. Ichigo stood up and grabbed his bag from the floor. I got up to follow him outside, waving a goodbye before walking out the door. He walked in front of me, not saying a word to me at all since last night.

"Are you sure you want to show me around school; because if you don't want you, I can do it myself" I said.

"I don't mind, Kat, really. I'm just tired today"

"Oh I see…okay then"

The school was pretty big and bigger than my last school. I followed close behind him as we walked through the front doors. "I…CHI…GO" a young man yelled from down the hall. Ichigo held his arm out and knocked him down to the floor. I blinked confused about the display. "Morning Keigo" he said softly.

"Who is the girl with ya?" he asked.

"This the girl my father took in, her name is Katarina Misora"

"It's nice to meet you, my name is Keigo Asano"

"Likewise"

I had a feeling he was kind of flirt or a class clown. I couldn't decide which one. I waved and continued on after Ichigo. The classroom was nice sized and there were so many students talking around the desks. I reached into my bag and took out the piece of paper with the proof that I was a new student.

When the teacher walked into the room, everyone sat down in their seats. I walked up to her and handed her the blue piece of paper. She smiled at me and it was sincere. "Class, it looked like we have a new student. Her name is Katarina Misora and I hope you all will welcome her. Take a seat behind Ichigo" she announced.

I walked down the long aisle and sat down in the chair behind Ichigo. He slightly turned his head to see me. Our eyes locked for a brief moment; before a loud siren like noise alerted me. No one seemed to notice except Ichigo and a couple others in the room.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom" Ichigo announced.

"Alright"

He rushed out of the room like a bat out of hell. I wondered what the hell he was up to and I also wanted to know why no one seemed to notice that loud siren noise. There were so many questions and it was pretty clear that Ichigo had them.
