Ichigo Kurosaki had graduated from Karakura High about a year ago and tomorrow was going to be his first day of college. The teen was a little excited about the whole new experience but disappointed all the same since all his friends were going somewhere else. Uryuu had been accepted to a higher college, Rukia and Orihime had a college in mind in a different town, Chad well he didn't know where he went, and Renji had been accepted into some Soul Society thing; so that left Ichigo by himself.

He let out a sigh while placing some of his clothes into a duffel bag, the orange haired 19 year old, was finally moving out.

Ichigo gave one last look around his room before slinging his bag over his shoulder and grabbing a box that he had put some of his junk in, "Well looks like this is it." He turned to find his younger sister, Yuzu, standing in his doorway crying. She might be older but she still has the same personality that she did when she was younger.

The girl looked at her older brother with tears streaking down her cheeks, "I-I-Ichigo," she managed to get out between sniffs. Ichigo put down his things and walked over to his sister with a warm smile and gave her a reassuring hug. "It's okay. I'll make sure to stop by during winter break." Yuzu gripped onto her brother and continued crying, "I'm going to miss you!"

Ichigo ran a hand through her hair calming the crying girl down slightly.

A couple of sniffs later, Yuzu, looked up at her brother with a smile, "Dad and Karin are downstairs waiting." Ichigo nodded still giving her his warm smile and picked his things back up.

Downstairs the father, Isshin, went through the air aiming to tackle his son, but failed when he got a foot slammed in his face. "Aww, my son, why can't father have a hug when you're going to be gone for so long?" his father wailed. The teen just rolled his eyes. Ichigo's other sister, Karin, walked over to him, and gave him a quick hug. "We're all going to miss you, you know. So you better stop by." Ichigo gave a small laugh, "I'll make sure of it." "You better," she said releasing her brother and giving him a soft punch on the arm.

Ichigo was now out of the house and was walking in a slow pace to the bus station, since he didn't own a car.

"Took ya long enough at sayin goodbye," a white figure appeared beside the orange haired teen, "Thought I was neva gonna be able at come out." Ichigo ignored his hollow half and kept walking. Maybe if he walked, without saying anything, that damn hollow would just go back into his head without any trouble…he was sadly mistaken.
