A year has now passed since Ichigo defeated the Fullbrings, and now it is his and his friends' last year of high school.
"Hey guys," said Ichigo as he walked into his class.
"Hey, Ichigo," said Chad.
"How was your summer, Ichigo?" asked Orihime as she sat at a desk while smiling at him.
"I spent the entire summer training and killing Hollows," said Ichigo.
"Sounds like you had fun then," said Uryū.
"You better believe I did, and I've gotten a lot stronger now," said Ichigo while grinning from ear to ear.
"At least you did," said Rukia as she walked into the class in a human suit that was wearing the school uniform.
"What are you doing here, Rukia?" asked Orihime.
"I've been put in charge of an investigation here on Earth, as well as babysitting Ichigo," said Rukia with an evil glare at him.
"I don't even know why you're babysitting me," said Ichigo.
"What investigation?" asked Chad, who was trying to change the subject.
"According to Genryūsai, a bunch of demons escaped from hell recently," said Ichigo who had been read in.
"Are you guys in charge of finding them?" asked Uryū.
"No, a detective from hell is on the case right now," said Rukia. Suddenly, the wall to their left with all the windows was blown away as a man came flying in.
"Drake the Hunter, you are hereby sent back to hell," said a teen boy who had black hair, red eyes, and was wearing a blood red version of a Shinigami outfit. He then took a sword from his waist that had a curved blade with razor sharp teeth, and with one swing it created a red and black spiral portal.
"Damn you, Death Walker!" said Drake the Hunter as he was absorbed into the portal.
"Thanks again, Jigoku Bureiku," said Death as he put away his Zanpakutō. His spiritual body then transformed into a normal human one, but kept the same outfit.
"I take it that you're the detective from hell," said Rukia as she walked up.
"And you're Rukia Kuchiki, I'm glad to meet you," said Death as he shook her hand. He then noticed Ichigo.
"Oh my god, you're Ichigo Kurosaki," said Death who was acting like a fan that just met a popstar.
"You know who I am?" asked Ichigo who was a little freaked by his reaction.
"Every Hell Walker knows who you are, you're the King of Hell after all," said Death.
"What?!" asked everyone with stunned expressions.
