Here goes…. I know the name is totally bad…

Ichigo's Soul Center

PROLOGUE

"Good morning class!" The teacher greeted everybody cheerfully, "I see we have everyone in attendance, except for Ichigo again, and what's this? Rukia too! Ah well, let's begin today's lesson..."

"I wonder where Ichigo and Rukia have been to lately, they've been gone from school for almost a week!" Orihime whispered to Tatsuke.

"I really could care less" She replied back in a bored tone.


Meanwhile in downtown Karakura a battle was going on.

"Ichigo, look out!" Rukia screamed from behind Ichigo as a sharpened claw smacked down where he had been standing only seconds before. Ichigo whirled around in mid-leap and hacked Zangetsu into the arm of the hollow.

"!" the hollow bellowed furiously.

"Ha, that'll teach him!" Ichigo yelled as he swung the final blow on the hollows head and watched it disappear, he then turned to the young spirit it had been chasing and performed a beautiful Konso.

"Wow, you're getting better at this every day." Rukia complimented Ichigo.

"Yea, thanks I guess." Ichigo looked down at the ground, in truth he felt like he could sleep for the rest of his life he was so worn out. They had been running around town fighting off all of the hollows they could for the past ten days. He didn't know how much longer he could keep it up without a break. Especially since Kon had gone missing. He was never going to let Rukia know how tired he was and how much he wished Kon was here to go to school for him.

"Hey, you know Ichigo, I think you need a rest, why don't you go to school tomorrow and let those bruises heal some." Ichigo felt like Rukia had read his mind.

"No, I could never let you go and chase hollows alone! What if an Arrancar shows up!" Ichigo rebuked, annoyed that Rukia thought of him as weak.

"You need your rest, and so do I, so we are both going back to school tomorrow and leave the hollows to the soul reaper in the area." Rukia was relieved to see that Ichigo was looking a little bit more accepting to this than before. "Now come on and let's get some sleep."

Ichigo was asleep before his head even hit the pillow. His dreams were mixed images of hollows and Arrancars trying to kill him, he woke up to a cold sweat having seen a vivid image of Aizen coming at him yelling "I'm almost their!" in a hollow's voice.

"Ichigo! Come down and get some breakfast or you'll be late for school!" Yuzu's sweet voice drifted up the hall to him.

"Alright, alright! I'm coming!" Came the irritated reply. He would think about this more after breakfast.
