As I am now I am now I'm confused. On one hand I'm glad to be rid of Aizen, the Arrancar, even the red tape of Soul Society, but on the other hand I hate losing my powers. I hate being powerless, and I hate being normal me. I have no future, no dreams, no ambition, I never thought about any of it. So right now I'm stuck, and it sucks.

But for the second time in my life, everything changed in one day. It happened when I got home in the most usual manner.

"IIIIIIICCCCCCHHHHHHHHHIIIIIGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" And as usual I kicked my overactive father in the face.

"I'm home" I said nonchalantly.

"Onii-san we're so proud of you" Yuzu said rushing over to hug me.

"What happened?" I asked confused.

"You got accepted into some school Ichi-nii" Karin explained.

"Oh not just any school my dear daughter" my idiot of a father said getting up from the floor. "Our dear Ichigo has been accepted to Hakoniwa Academy.

"What Academy?" I asked yet again.

"Hakoniwa Academy is one of the most prestigious schools in all of Japan. Most of Japan's greatest come from Hakoniwa" my former-captain dad explained.

"Wait why would they want me?" I asked confused. Sure I was a god student, but there was nothing special about me, well not anymore at least. I immediately thought something was wrong.

"Who cares Ichigo, it's a full ride scholarship to one of the best schools in Japan" my dad exclaimed.

"But I got school here!" I exclaimed. I honestly didn't want to leave Karakura High, I liked it there. I would miss everyone, Chad, Orihime, Mizuiro, Tatsuki, even Ishida and Keigo. "I don't want to go."

"Don't worry, you don't have to go until the next school year in spring" my idiot father retorted. But then the weirdest thing happened and he got very serious. "Ichigo I ask very little of you, and I want you to go to Hakoniwa Academy."

I wanted to fight further, but I knew from the serious look on his face he meant business. I was very cautious now. Why was he so insistent on me going to this school? "Okay I'll go."

(O)

"So in the spring I will be going to Hakoniwa Academy. I'm leaving after school today for an interview, then I'm going to get set up in an apartment near the school" I told my group of friends. Their reactions were unique for each of them.

"WWHHHYYY?! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING US ICHIGO?!" Keigo cried lunging at me. I responded with an appropriate punch to the face. I really did find him irritating, and even though I question why I do appreciate his hyperactive antics, no matter how annoying. But he really is annoying to the point where I might ignore him every time he calls.

"I told you I don't want to go" I repeated.

"I think it's a good thing" Mizuiro added. "Hakoniwa is a great school, plus with everything Ichigo has been through he deserves something good."

"Good to know you'll miss me Mizuiro" I responded.

"I will miss you Ichigo. But I don't want to make it harder on you, like Mr. Asano is." Mizuiro might be cold at times, but he really is a good friend. I just feel bad that no one will walk with him to school every day. I now he likes it when we walk together even if doesn't admit it.

Tatsuki came up to me next. Her face was down so I couldn't see it. Then she slapped me in the face. "How dare you just tell us you are leaving, in a week no less, and expect us to be okay with it!" she yelled.

"I don't want to leave for the millionth time. I am being forced to leave because my idiot dad thinks it's better for me" I said calmly. I knew that yelling would make it worse, but I understood how she felt.

"Promise me that you will keep in contact" she said shaking.

"Of course" I replied. "I have all of your Line accounts, and I can visit on long weekends." I turned to Orihime, Chad, and Isshida, really scared of how they would react.

"Well it's not ideal, but I understand the situation. You gotta do what you gotta do" Chad answered. I really was happy to have such a good friend. Though sometimes it was annoying how monotone his voice was.

"I really don't care, I don't like you" Isshida added. I really hate him…a lot. But in all honesty he wasn't that bad, I just won't miss him.

Then the reaction I was least excited for. Orihime, I was scared about what she would say. She was very emotional, and we were closer than a lot of people think. I was worried she would cry and yell. But what happened next was even worse. She put on the fakest smile, looked at me and said "I'm happy for you Kurosaki-kun. I hope you have a great time at your new school. Please keep in contact with us." Then she turned around and ran away, and I felt terrible. I knew I need to talk to her, but I also knew she needed to calm down, so I decided to do it after school.

As the bell rung I was able to catch Orihime before she could run away. "Orihime, I need to talk to you right now."

She was really caught off guard by this, but none the less agreed. I took a hold of her hand and dragged her along with me. I looked back at her, and her face was all red. I wonder why though? Maybe she had a fever or something. I lead her to a tree behind the school, which seemed to make her face even redder.

"Okay, out with it" I demanded.

"What do you mean Kurosaki-kun?" she asked in response.

"Out with how you feel. I'm not stupid Orihime, I know me moving is bothering you, and I would feel better if you talked to me about it like the others did" I answered with a mildly annoyed voice.

"I don't have anything wrong with you going, I mean to say I will miss you, but I know you need to go, and, and-" she kept on talking faster and faster, so I put my hand on her mouth.

"Orihime, listen to me. I know this is hard; I really don't want to go. Ever since I found out, I've been depressed. Knowing I have to leave all of you, even Isshida, has been the hardest thing for me. I don't want to go, knowing there was unfinished business" I scolded.

But what happened next was something that I thought would never happen. Orihime Inoue kissed me. I pushed her, surprised at what happened. But then I kissed her. I don't know why, but I just did. We mutually pushed each other apart, and just stared at each other.

"I love you" Inoue whispered. "I've always loved you, and you going is the worst thing to happen to me!" she yelled. I couldn't believe it. "And the worst part is that none of that matters anymore, because you'll be gone." I didn't know what to say, it hit me so fast. I didn't know what to do, so I ran away.

(O)

After running I felt horrible. I just ran away from Inoue, after she confessed. I felt worse than I have ever before. I decided I would talk to her over Line and talk to her. After my tearful farewell with my family, which involved a lot of clinging and punching I left for the train station.

I boarded the train and started to think. Orihime loves me. Why? I don't have any redeeming qualities. But I can't believe I just ran away. I've fought hallows, arrancars, and Aizen, but I run away from a friend who confessed to me. I don't really know how I feel. She's pretty, smart, caring, and is just amazing. But I never thought about her, or anyone, that way before. Rgh, this is confusing. Deciding I had have enough I went to sleep.

(O)

I woke up a good fifteen minutes before I arrived at Tokyo. When I got out I took a taxi to Hakoniwa. When I finally got to Hakoniwa I was astounded. It was the biggest school I have ever seen. I would have guessed the place is bigger than ten acres. The buildings were huge, and the track was beyond words. I may have seen Soul Society, but this place is a close second for most amazing places I've ever been. The most amazing feature of the school was the huge clock tower.

After I paid the taxi driver I entered the Academy. To be honest I was lost the minute I entered. I was looking for the chairman of Hakoniwa Academy, so I could have an interview with him. As I was walking around lost I spotted a student. It was a guy; he had strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, and was wearing the white uniform of Hakoniwa.

"Oi!" I called out. He turned my way.

"What is it?" he asked. "Wait, are you a new student?"

"Ya" I responded. "I'm looking for the chairman's office."

"Just take a left here, and look for the building that says 'Main Office'" he instructed.

"Thanks, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo."

"I'm Hitoyoshi Zenkichi."

"What are you doing here Hitoyoshi-san?"

"I had to stay late to help with cleanup."

"Well, see ya around" I said.

"You to."

I waved goodbye to Hitoyoshi and went to the Main Office.

(O)

I sat in the office of Hakama Shiranui, the chairman of Hakoniwa Academy. He was an old who wore, ironically enough, wore a purple hakama with a gold vest. He also had an ahoge, which was weird.

"So Kurosaki-kun you are probably wondering why you are here, and why we want you as a student at our academy" he said in his old voice.

"Actually I am" I replied. "I have good grades and all, but I don't really have any special talents or anything. Why do you want to give me a scholarship and everything?"

He smiled. "Kurosaki-kun, we know about you being a Shinigami." That scared me stiff. How did they know? How could they know? They were just humans. "We know because we are very interested with the prospects of Shinigami and such. But that is not why you are here."

"Then why?" I growled. I was scared and angry at the same time. This may be dangerous, they knew about my Shinigami identity and probably more about Soul Society.

"You see Kurosaki-kun, we at Hakoniwa are in the middle of a project. It is called the Flask Plan, a plan which goal is to make the perfect human. We researched the Shinigami thinking we could have found something in Shinigami to help us, but we came up empty handed. None of us had the requirements for the powers, so we abandoned it. But you have the data we could use. If you join the Hakoniwa Academy's Thirteen Parties, we can create the perfect human."

"OK, I find what you are doing is crazy and don't want anything to do with it. If you knew so much about, why ask me?"

"Two simple reasons. For one I don't think you truly understand what me mean by a perfect human being. And more importantly, we can give you power again" he said with a smirk.

I went wide eyed again. "What do you mean you can give me power?"

"Do you know what an abnormal is Kurosaki-kun?" he asked. I shook my head in response. "Well an abnormal is a special type of people. One in a million abnormals are born, each with a thing called 'skills'. Skills are special abilities that change the body to extraordinary rates. Some have automatic reflexes, some can rebuild entire bodies. Abnormals are the cornerstone of the Flask Plan."

I could see where he was going, but I wanted to make sure. "Are you saying you can make me an abnormal."

"Yes" he replied.

Now I was tempted. I would have powers again, I wouldn't useless and I could do things again. But at the same time I worked hard to be normal. I had paid my does. Would I really like having powers again if it meant I would get into even more trouble than before?

"You can still be a student at Hakoniwa if you refuse" the old man added. "Plus being an abnormal would mean being able to see spirits and Hallows again."

Again I was tempted even further. I had been stuck since I lost my powers. I guess I really did miss them, and I wanted power again. "Okay, I'll join this Thirteen Party thing."

(O)

The school year had started at Hakoniwa. I attended the entrance ceremony out of pure etiquette. I didn't need to, I was part of Class 13 I didn't even attend class, but I thought it would be nice. After the Principle made the big speech the student council president came to the podium. It was a girl, a first year, she was around 160 cm tall, had long dark purple hair, red eyes, and a bust that made Orihime look small. And that was saying something.

"Do you find the world merely average?" she declared in a sort of 'I am superior to you' tone. "Does the future bore you? Are you just getting by? And to that end, as of today I am your student council president. School work, love life, family situation, and even personal issues, you should submit your woes to the suggestion box without hesitation. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, I will take on any issue from anyone."

By her presence alone I felt she would cause whoever is close to her trouble. I don't know why though.

(A/N): And thus comes to a end my latest story. My first try at a crossover but I had this idea for a while. I love both series (Bleach my number 1 Medaka Box my number 2) and thought they would mesh well. I will skip most of the early ark stuff in Medaka box and focus on Ichigo as a member of the Thirteen Party. After that though it's Ichigo inserted in Medaka Box. Please support the series, read and review, and message me if you have a suggestion.
