Chapter 1
The Counting Song
" Good Morning students; get out your history text and turn to page 604 Wah Wah Wah.."
She reminded him of Charley Browns teacher; already 15 minuites into the class and Ichigo's mind started to wonder. " Who is she…" He closed his eyes and began to relive the events of yesturday .
- Sunday 11: 45 a.m.-
"My God the park is crowed today." Ichigo thought, while looking around the pulsing lakeside park. " I didn't think it wouldn't be this packed tell after lunch." He groaned annoyingly; while trying to make to make room for people pushing past him. Today, was the opening of the Music Festival in the Park; It was to honor Japan's diverse music history and tonight was Pop in turn; every squealing fan-girl and J-pop junky shows up to buy from vinders and squeal about the latest musical sinsation. The question that was burning in Ichigo's brain at that point was what the fuck was he doing here?
"Hey ichigo!" He turned to see Rukia waving him over to the steps of an ancient monk's temple where her and a very stimulated Renji munched on candy apples .Thats why he was here; because of Rukia nagging and excessive whinning about " This is probably going to be the only free day you are going to probably have! Enjoy it!" After, bulldosing his way threw the crowd he finally reached his companions. "Whoa!Did you see that man's hair! It was bald on the sides and he had HAIR DOWN THE MIDDEL! AND IT STUCK UP! COULD U PICTURE IKKAKU LIKE THAT! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Rukia rolled her eyes as Renji laughed at his own joke. " He has been like this all day." Ichigo couldn't begin to imagen what that would have been like; a hyper- active Renji bouncing off the walls and talking like those 3 chimpmunks that his sister liked watching on tv. " What took you so long?" Renji final looking at Ichigo. " Well, I have been looking everywhere for you guys! You guys took off as soon we got here and left ME STANDING!" Renji; still munching on his candy apple lazily responed "If you weren't so slow you could keep up."
"IM NOT YOUR BABY SITTER!"
"BABYSITTER? LOOK WHO IS WHINNIN LIKE A CHILD!"
"Would you two shut up!" Rukia yelled at the two red-heads who were now standing nose to nose. " Do you hear that?"
"I think it's the hot air whistleing out of his ears…" Ichigo snapped. Renji growled threatingly. "No!" Rukia closed her eyes; hoping to cancel out the noise. " Listen…..its on the wind now." Ichigo turned his head toward the direction of the wind, inhauling the brisk summer breeze; It ran threw his ears a faint humming noise. " A women sining? Rukia; we are at a music festival. Everyone is singing." He turned back to see Renji and Rukia talking softly and quickly as if someone was going to catch them cheating on a test. " She can't be here….She was banished; plus, we would have sents her along time ago if she was here." Renji whispered his eyes intense. " We have no idea what she could be capable of tho, when we did it….I have to report this." She closed her eyes to hide the fury that was beginning to radiate off her ." Report in if there is any futher activity." Renji nodded. Rukia looked at ichigo with all seriousiness and ran passed him. "What! Wait…..What?" Renji ran off in the opposite direction; leaving Ichigo alone,again. " GOD!NOT AGAIN!"
Then the song came again;Stronger and louder this time, It was a sweet female voice, it rang in his ears.
" 1, It's a love in 1 generation…."
" 2,2 of us go to hell…."
"3,even thought we kill everbody…."
*********************************Sunday 12:00 a.m.*************************************
" The city is well guarded Toshiro,everyone is at the ready." The busty Rangiku reported to the boy captain.
"Are you positiveyou heard her?" he looked up at Renji out of the couner of his eye. Slightly offended by the question, he snorted " I know what I heard alright."
Hearing the edge in the red-heads voice, Rangiku whispered into Toshiro ear resuring him that renji wouldn't make up something like this. She gazed up at Renji he didn't return the look. He knew what he heard; only one person could send shivers like that down any Shinigami's spine; no matter how firce.
" I want to know what is going on!"
The 3 Shinigami's turned to face Ichigo who was clothed in his Shinigami robs with his sword drawn and at the readyt to take down names if he didn't get what he needed. "Well?" He looked from face to facetrying to find the answear. Rangiku put her hands on her hips and turned to look at the men next to her. " No one told him?" Renji shifted hhis weight trying not to meet the blonde's icy blue eyes. Toshiro sighed " It's not his place Rangiku, drop it."She bit her tonge trying hard not to question her captains actions she turned away and crossed her arms. Irritated now; by the boy captains comment shouted " Not my place? I herd a voice to today that sounded no way normal! I Want fucking answears!"
" 1, It's a love in 1 generation; 2,2 of us go to hell; 3 even though we kill everybody…" Renji repeated in a monotone voice as is someone died ; ichigo had never seen him look and act so grave in his life; it was like a shadow was casted over Renji face. Ichigo tried to find his voice. " Yes." He tripped over his words; "that's what I herd…Who was" He was cut short by I high pitch note; that could have shattered glass. A freak wind came blasting toward them like a hurrcaine. They all clutched there ears. " Hang on everyone!" Toshiro grunted the air being taken from his lungs; he crossed his arms across his body ,but it was useless the wind slowly was pushing him back. Rangiku held fast to Reji's arm who was trying to reach his sword with his free hand. " I'M TO PRETTY TO DIE, RENJI!"Renji growled " She's here" he finally reached his sword and he unshelted it. Ichigo's eyes were beginning to water from the wind; he felt his legs give from under him putting him on his knees; he plungged his sword into the ground in hopes of grounding him. He looked forward threw his glazed eyes; He saw a slinder figure walking toward him,slowly the wind not affecting the figure. He shut his eyes tightly in the hopes that what he was seeing was playing tricks on him; he tried to muster the streagth to get on his feet .
"3 even though everyone is killed…"
Ichigo's eyes shot open; his face was inches away from a slinder waist, a waist baring a very short black skirt slit on both sides like a lowing cloth. A hand with long silver nails reached down to his chin and jerked it up. Ichigo's chocolate brown eyes met a pair of lovely sea green, cat shaped eyes, with long eyelashes. Her skin was the color of Ivory with a hint of color in her cheekes, her lips were pale like her skin and glossy; she looked a model on the cover of a high fashion magazine. "Is she…" His mind went blank when the girl drew closer to him. "Ichigo..." his named oozed from her lips like honey; He wanted her to say it again; his mind swam his eyelids were heavy , he didn't even feel the wind whipping his body anymore. She drew closer to him; he could now feel her breath on his face and his lips; "God that smell…" she was intoxicating; he wanted her for himself.
"NO!" Rangiku came out of no where between the both of them; severing the dreamstate Ichigo was in. Ichigo snapped back to reality to find Rangiku back to him sword drawn facing the beautiful stranger; she was smiling revealing a pair of sharp k-9 teeth. " Back off! Your not welcome here!" Her voice strained from the still rapidedly blowing wind; her eyes said it all though. "Heh. You will need me in time." A gust of wind bigger then the 1st kicked up and knocked Blonde off her feet throwing her to the side like a rag doll. The girl winked mockingly at Ichigo and jumped up into the air taking the freak wind with her. Rangiku stood up quickly looking up at the night sky hoping the stanger would fall back to earth; she growled and mummlbed something about next time while trying to run her fingers threw her bird nest of blonde hair. Ichigo stumbled to his feet inhauling air that had escaped his lungs " Who…was… that?" he managed to stay. Rangiku took her eyes off the sky and looked at him with a minacing look of pure anger. "Geshia." The words were like a bitter-taste in her mouth.
"She got away; didn't she,"Toshiro and Renji rejoined them with the sporting the messy look that Rangiku had; Renji rejusting his ponytail and Toshiro dusting off his robes. " it seems that our little Geshia has gotten stronger, we are lucky she didn't show her true colors."
"She was a little busy showing her "true colors" to someone to really try'em." Ranguki snorted, her arms crossed looking down at Ichigo who still remanded on his knees gasping for air. Renji's eyes narrowed his gripping his sword, Toshiro glanced at Ichigo" What did she do?"
"S...She…" He felt face get hot; her face was burned into his brain with that smile, God those eyes….
"Spit it out man!" Renji yelled he grabbed Ichigo by his robs;shaking him.
"She tried to kiss me!" Ichiigo yelled back finally; pissed at the fact he was being shakened. Ichigo face turned hot, was he blushing? Renji stopped shaking him as soon her heard this statement. Rangiku snorted with her nose in the air. Toshiro looked at him fully amazed ,but Renji face said it all; He blink a few times and his lip twitched. "eh…" Ichigo blinked cocking an eyebrow at Renji "What?". Ranguki grabbed Renji by the collar of his rob and drug him away ; " Come on killer we are going to check the guard." Renji could just do nothing but twitch.
"EHUM"
Ichigo snappe back and looked at Toshiro" We will brife you tomarrow over this issue; tell then keep your ears opened." Ichigo nodded.
-Bell Rings-

His eyes opened; yah you never know when something will pop up.
