"Ichigo, who did you say gave you that letter?" Rukia asked. They were on there way to the destination described in the letter Ichigo received this morning.
"I told you. I don't know. I just found it on my desk this morning." Ichigo said lifting his book bag onto his shoulder.
"So why are we going?" Rukia asked plainly.
"Because I want to find out who left the note." Ichigo stated.
Ichigo, Rukia, hi!" They both looked up to see Orihime waving at them. She was with Chad and Uryuu.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ichigo asked.
"apparently we all got letters saying that someone wanted to meet us here." Uryuu said.
"So you guys got the same letter?" Rukia asked.
"Yeah." Chad said.
"So you actually showed up." a voice said. It was a girl's voice. Everyone looked around but saw nothing. "I didn't think you all would come."
"Who the hell are you!?" Ichigo yelled.
"My name is Shima, but that doesn't matter right now. Your going to be leaving."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ichigo yelled.
Uryuu tapped Ichigo on the shoulder. "Ichigo, look over there." He whispered. Ichigo looked to where Uryuu was pointing. It was the girl. She was sitting on top of a building waving at them. Then a black hole appeared under them, and they all got sucked in.
"What's for lunch, I'm starving." Yahiko groaned.
Kaoru thought for a minute. "How about we all go out to eat this time."
"That sounds good." Kenshin smiled.
"Well I'm not going to turn down a free meal." Sanosuke agreed.
"Alright then, were going to the Akabeko!" Kaoru smiled.
The four of them left the house and headed into town. They walked through the busy streets making there way to the Akabeko. Kenshin stopped.
"Kenshin, what's wrong?" Kaoru asked turning around.
"Something is coming." Kenshin said quietly.
Just then a black hole appeared in the sky and five people fell to the ground. "Damn that hurt." The orange haired boy groaned.
"Where are we?" A short dark haired girl asked.
The five of them looked around. Everyone was staring at them. "Who are they?" "Look at there strange clothes." "Where do you think they came from?"
"We must have gone back to the past." Uryuu said. "That girl must have opened a time portal sending us here.
"So how far back do you think we are?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm not sure." Uryuu told him.
"Excuse me?" Kaoru asked. They looked at her. "Who are you?"
Ichigo looked at the girl who was speaking, then looked at the people standing behind her. There was a brown haired guy who was probably taller than Chad, and then there was a guy with his red hair in a ponytail, and a sword at his waist, lastly there was a kid with a wooden sword.
"I'm Orihime!" She said smiling, then pointed to each of her friends. "This is Ichigo, Rukia, Uryuu, and Chad."
"I'm Kaoru, and these are my friends. Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko.
"It's nice to meet you." Orihime said cheerfully. Kaoru nodded in agreement.
While everyone was talking Ichigo felt something moving around in his book bag. He took it off and opened it. Kon popped out. "Wow it's stuffy in there." he said. Ichigo quickly shoved him back in and closed the bag. Kon tried to get out but Ichigo held the bag tight. No one seemed to notice. At least he hoped no one did.
Forgetting about their lunch plans everyone went back to Kaoru's house. Ichigo went behind the house and opened the bag. "Why did you shove me back in that cramped book bag!?" Kon yelled.
Ichigo covered the annoying stuffed animal's mouth with his hand. "Will you just shut up already?" Ichigo whispered. "What the hell are you doing in my school bag any way?"
"I fell asleep in here and before I could get out you locked me in there!" Kon said upset. Then he looked around. "Hay where are we?" Kon asked.
"According to Uryuu, we got sent back in time." Ichigo said.
"Ichigo." Rukia called.
Ichigo turned around and Kon jumped out from the book bag. "Rukia!"
Rukia Stomped on the small mod soul.
"Hay what's that?"
Ichigo and Rukia both turned to find the little kid, Yahiko looking at the stuffed animal being squashed into the ground. Kaoru, Kenshin, Sanosuke, Uryuu, Orihime, and Chad appeared behind him.
"Oh, it's Kon!" Orihime said smiling.
"What?" Kaoru asked.
"Kon is a stuffed toy animal that hangs around with Ichigo." Orihime explained.
Yahiko grabbed the toy from the ground and looked at it. "This is a pretty ugly toy." Yahiko said.
"I am not ugly!" Kon yelled. Then realizing what he did covered his mouth.
"It talks!" Kaoru said amazed.
"Is it magic or something?" Sanosuke asked taking the toy from Yahiko.
"Hay, put me down!" Kon yelled and managed to get away.
"It's very strange. To see a toy move and talk." Kenshin said leaning down to look at the toy.
"Hay, I just remembered something." Yahiko said. "We never got our lunch."
"Oh yeah. I guess we forgot about it when these guys showed up." Sanosuke said.
Orihime smiled. "I could make lunch for everyone."
Ichigo, Rukia, and Uryuu shook their heads. "No, that's alright Orihime. You don't have to do that." Rukia said nervously.
"Really I don't mind." Orihime persisted. "After all it's our fault they didn't eat their lunch. Kaoru is it alright with you?"
"Sure, I'll help you." Kaoru smiled. Then both went into the house to prepare lunch. Everyone else sighed in despair. With Orihime's strange food and Kaoru's lack of cooking, who knows what those two would make.
Ichigo, Chad, Uryuu, Rukia, Kon, Sanosuke, Kenshin, and Yahiko all sat outside the house waiting for lunch. "So you guys are from the future?" Yahiko asked.
"Yup." Rukia said.
"And some girl with some weird power sent you here?" Sanosuke said.
"Yup." Rukia nodded.
"And now you don't know how to get back?" Kenshin asked.
"That's right." Rukia said.
"Alright, So now why don't you tell us the truth?" Sanosuke said.
"You call us a liar?" Ichigo said. His voice increasing.
"So what if I am?" Sanosuke asked.
"Now, now, there's no need to fight." Kenshin said, trying to calm them both down.
Then you can just…" Ichigo stood up not even listening to Kenshin.
"Lunch is ready!" Kaoru an Orihime interrupted.
"All right, lunch!" Yahiko said happily. "Hay wait, What is this?" He asked confused.
"It's lunch. What else?" Kaoru said. What was on the plate, did not look very good. In fact The others couldn't really tell what it was.
"This is my special recipe." Orihime said smiling. "Try it."
Ichigo, Uryuu, Rukia, and Chad all backed away. "No thank you Orihime. Were not that hungry." Ichigo said nervously. Sanosuke, Kenshin, and Yahiko looked at them confused.
"Just try it." Kaoru said walking towards Ichigo.
"That's alright, I'm not really hungry." Ichigo told her.
"Try It!" Kaoru yelled.
"Yes ma'am." Ichigo said quickly. He took the plate from Kaoru and took a small bite. His face immediately turned blue and he fell over onto the ground.
"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled panicked.
An hour later Ichigo woke up in a bed. He looked at the ceiling trying to remember what happened. All he knew right now, was that his stomach felt like crap.
"So, your finally awake." A voice asked. Ichigo looked over to find a girl with long dark hair sitting on the floor next to him. "I knew Kaoru's cooking was bad but I didn't think anyone would get sick from it." She laughed.
"Wait, who are you?" Ichigo asked sitting up.
"Sorry. My name is Megumi. Sir Ken called me and said that someone need medical attention." She said looking through her medical bag. "Here." She held out a small bottle.
"What's this" Ichigo asked.
"Medicine. Take it twice a day, and you should be fine." Megumi said.
Ichigo took the medicine and thanked her. Then both of them left to find the others. Ichigo found them all outside sitting on the deck. "Ichigo, are you alright." Orihime asked.
"Yea, I'm fine." Ichigo said sitting down.
"Ichigo." Orihime said. "Kaoru is allowing us to stay here for a while."
"Really?" He asked.
Kaoru nodded. "Yup. You and your friends can stay here."
"Thanks." Ichigo said. "But we don't…"
Kaoru glared at him. "I'm trying to do something nice."
"Ichigo just say you'll stay." Rukia whispered harshly.
"Thank you." Ichigo told Kaoru.
She smiled. "Your welcome."
Everyone laughed.
In a tree watching them Shima sighed. "This is boring. I need to think of something." a small smile appeared on her face. "I have a plan to make this more interesting." Then Shima disappeared into a black hole.
A/N: Kono-kun here! Alright, that's the first chapter, and yes, Shima is in it. If you read my profile Shima is there too. Your going to see her a few more times. Well she is pretty much the main antagonist in this story. So you'll see her often.
Review, but please no flames. or Shima will teleport you to the deepest regions of cyber space.
