Chapter 1

A boy ran down the hallways, frantically trying to find a place where he could hide. He stopped to gasp for air. All the doors he saw until now were only the classrooms'.

"ICHIGO!"

The orange haired boy's head snapped towards the origin of the voice. He could already faintly hear the sound of several footsteps running down the hallway he just got out of.

"Damn it!", Ichigo hissed before starting to run again.

He could hear his own heart thumping in his ears when something on the edge of his vision caught his attention. For the second time since the start of his escape he stopped.

Broom closet, the boy read.

"Perfect.", he thought and reached for the door, opening it with a simple turn of the hand.

"Yes!", he whispered, smiling at his find while sliding into the closet and closing it behind him.

Shortly after the discovery of the small room, Ichigo could hear his pursuers' footsteps. They stopped in front of the very room he was hiding in. Ichigo's body tensed. Brushing away his spikey hair, he pressed his ear to the door.

"Please go away", Ichigo prayed and held his breath.

"Did you see him?", a man's voice could be heard through the door.

"Where could he have gone to?", this time it was a woman's voice, "How are we supposed to –"

"It doesn't matter", a different man's voice cut her off, "We will use the broadcasting room to tell the students to find him and give out a reward as thanks."

"Did I just hear right? They're bringing in the students into this madness?! Are they being serious?!", Ichigo thought, annoyed at their stubbornness, "It's like they're setting up a bounty on my head!"

Ichigo heard laughter and then footsteps. He waited until the sound faded away. Finally Ichigo let go of his breath and then sighed, turned around and slumped against the door. He stretched his legs on the floor, relaxing his muscles. Leaning his head against the door, he closed his eyes.

"Ugh", he grunted, exasperation evident in his voice, "How the hell did this happen anyway?"

Ichigo paused then whispered:

"It must have been that day after all."

– One week ago –

"…up Ichi… Wake u…chigo"

"No… wait… I c-can't… breathe…"

"Wake… brot… Ichigo!"

"ICHIGO!"

Ichigo felt something slam against him.

"AAHHHHHH!", Ichigo screamed as he fell off his bed and landed on the floor with a loud thud, followed by an equally loud crash.

"Ugh… What the hell?", Ichigo's sight was still blurry but he could recognize his recently bought clock on the floor.

In pieces.

As he slowly looked up, the concerned face of a girl with light brown hair came into his view. For a short second he wondered who it was but as his sight cleared, he recognized his younger sister's face.

"Yuzu, what just happened?", Ichigo asked with a slightly irritated voice.

"Sorry brother. You wouldn't wake up so I called Dad and he just–"

"Dad?", Ichigo growled, effectively causing Yuzu to shut up and worry more since she knew what was coming.

Ichigo looked around just to find the person he was looking for. A man was in the corner, with the stance of someone ready to pounce. With a loud yell Isshin jumped and stretched out his foot to kick his son into the face. Ichigo saw that coming and dodged while he punched his father's stomach. Isshin only managed to grunt "Uff!" before collapsing on the floor.

"Big brother! Now we need to carry him downstairs again!", Yuzu whined.

"It's not my fault that our idiot of a Dad tries to kill me every time I wake up later than him!", Ichigo said through gritted teeth but sighed afterwards, "Now let's get this over with."

Together they dragged their father down the stairs into the living room and threw him on the couch. Immediately afterwards Isshin woke up and tried to tackle Ichigo who simply stepped aside so that his father crashed into the wall behind him.

"MISAKI, MY SON DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!", Isshin wailed and clung to the giant poster hanging in the living room.

"Why is my Dad such an idiot…", Ichigo muttered under his breath and rolled his eyes before asking, "Why did you wake me up Yuzu?"

His sister shouted from the kitchen: "Oh, I almost forgot! Because it was already 7:30!"

"What do you mean 7:30?", Ichigo mumbled before realization dawned on him, "Oh fuck! I'm late!"

Without wasting another second, Ichigo dashed upstairs and 15 minutes later he was back downstairs, ready to go.

"Brother! Don't forget to take your lunch and breakfast with you!", Yuzu reminded him from the kitchen, "Oh! And don't forget to come for Sis' soccer game later!"

"Yeah, I got it! Karin's game is at six, right?", Ichigo replied while packing lunch into his bag and grabbing the toast his sister had made for him.

"Yep! Have a safe trip to school!"

###

Ichigo collapsed onto the school ground, breathing heavily. Even though he had run like the devil was after him, he didn't manage to be on time, so as a punishment he had to run 5 laps around the school.

"That damn teacher!", Ichigo huffed under his breath, "He obviously knew how freaking big this school is and made me run five laps! Five laps! That crazy bastard!"

###

It was already well into the first period when Ichigo entered the classroom. With aching muscles and a tiredness that left him drained of energy, Ichigo gave his teacher the note that said that he had been punished already. His teacher only raised an eyebrow before telling him that he could take his seat. Normally Ichigo' classmates would have snickered and Ichigo would have to glare at them to shut them up, but because of his tiredness he failed to notice that difference today. It wasn't long into the lesson, when the school speakers suddenly sounded.

"Good morning Karakura Academy!", boomed a voice through the speakers, "All the teachers and students are to gather in the assembly hall within the next fifteen minutes. Oh, before I forget! My dear students! Don't forget to buy some candy at my shop later today and don't forget to advertise my shop's name to your parents and friends and don't forget to –" Whack! "Ahh! That hurt Yoruichi!" Whack! "That is all", a woman's voice said before the speakers turned off.

Silence filled the classroom before someone spoke up, breaking the muteness:

"Was that principal Urahara just now?"

###

A brown envelope lay open on the table. Shoulder-long black hair fell over her face as the girl stared at the paper in her hand. She gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"Stupid old men. Suddenly giving me another job with barely any time to prepare. Who do they think I am? Superwoman? And I've just finished the other job. Give me a break!", the girl grumbled but then thought, "Wait. Do those geezers even know the word 'break'? Well they should, since they are the ones lazing around the whole time. But wouldn't that mean that since they're on break the whole time, they've never experienced break? Ok... Now I'm just confusing myself. I've got to pack everything today, so that I can leave on time tomorrow."

The girl took the envelope and recklessly stuffed the papers back inside. Afterwards she stood up and went over to her bed, took out the cardboard boxes and suitcases underneath and began filling them with necessary things: Such as Chappy the rabbit cups, clothes, Chappy the rabbit pencils, shoes, Chappy the rabbit pillows, books, and anything else related to Chappy the rabbit. While packing, the girl thought about her introduction to her new class and her cover story while she stayed. Most of her background was already given in the envelope. She just needed to refine a few details, just in case.

###

The assembly hall was brimming with students. Ichigo thought it was unusual. Normally there would only be enough students to fill up two thirds of the hall. Then he noticed the division amongst the chairs which split the students into two groups. He didn't get a chance to continue his thoughts, because his teacher gave out instructions, guiding the class to their seats.

Ichigo went over to the free seat between two guys.

"Hey Chad, Uryuu!", Ichigo greeted them.

"Hello Ichigo", replied the dark-skinned giant.

"There you are Ichigo! You missed the teacher's announcement during homeroom", a boy with glasses said.

"Couldn't help it Uryuu. Mr. Kagine caught me and forced me to run five laps around the school!", Ichigo grumbled, "So… What did I miss?"

Uryuu was about to answer when he was distracted by the start of the assembly. A man with a white-green-striped hat and a cane came up to the podium and the students started to whisper. Only rumors were heard about him: The shady high school principal. You could recognize him by his dark green shirt and pants, his black coat and the most obvious, his white-green-striped hat. He rarely showed himself and if he did the upper half of his face would always be in shadowed because of his hat. His aloof and carefree personality always made him become the victim of Yoruichi Shihouin, his secretary.

"Good morning everyone!", Kisuke Urahara spoke into the microphone and the hall became still, "Most of you should know by now from your teachers' announcements that our school will be merging with another school today. For those who were late this morning, this will come as a surprise."

At this point Ichigo thought that the high school principal specifically looked him in the eye as he said the last part.

"No, it can't be. I must be imagining things", he convinced himself and continued to listen to the principal.

"Therefore please welcome the principal of the other school, principal Yamamoto of Soul Society Academy."

Everyone started clapping due to habit until the information sank in and loud gasps were heard. Immediately the whispering started again.

"Soul Society? Isn't that the elite school near us that trains its students to become full-fledged Shinigamis?"

"Why are we merging with S.S.A?"

"I hear they only focus on training their students to fight Hollows."

"Eh? Doesn't our school focus on academics?"

Ichigo didn't need to hear more in order for him to put the situation together, but before he could formulate his thoughts into spoken words, the scene at the front caught his attention. While everyone was still whispering, an old man stepped up to the podium.

"Good morning students and staff", his deep and powerful voice resounded through the hall, forcing everyone to immediately shut up. His sharp eyes held the look of a man with years of wisdom, power and authority.

"Starting from today, our two schools have become one school. The new name of our school is Seireitei Academy. The teachers have been already informed of the anything necessary during the week-end meeting. You will now return to class and await your teacher's instructions. I look forward to working with you all. You are dismissed."

Once principal Yamamoto stepped down, principal Urahara quickly went up to the microphone and reminded with a cheery voice:

"My dear students! Please do not forget to get along with your new classmates!"

Ichigo could have sworn he saw a mischievous glint in his principal's eyes, looking in his direction again. He shuddered at the thought but dismissed it anyway:

"It can't be. He's too far away to even properly see me anyway."

A/N: Well, how was it? A lot of it is still the same, but since I've added and deleted a few things, I hope that it's better now.
