Chapter 1

" Finally!" said Ichigo as he put away his sword.

He just finished off his third hollow that day. He walked over to his body, which was being occupied by Kon, a spirit that came from defective soul candy. Once Ichigo was back inside his body he picked up the small soul candy and put it into a stuffed bear.

"OOHH! Here comes Rukia!" cried Kon.

He ran up to Rukia and hugged her leg. She looked down at Kon and shook him off her leg.

"Finally done?" asked Rukia walking over to Ichigo.

"Yeah, it seems like the hollows are getting stronger." said Ichigo rubbing his sore arm.

"Well I think that last one was pretty strong for a hollow." said Rukia, "Come on it's starting to rain."

Rukia shoved Kon into her backpack and ran after Ichigo. Ichigo sneezed as he walked through the door of his house.

"You better not be sick." said Rukia, "You always need to be healthy so you can deal with any hollow that come."

"I'm not sick." sniffed Ichigo, "Now go up stairs before my dad gets home."

Rukia glanced Ichigo, then ran upstairs.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"Ichigo!" yelled the teacher.

Ichigo had fallen asleep in class. He shot up, "What?"

"What is you answer for problem thirty?" said the teacher impatiently.

"Um..." Ichigo flipped through the packet of last nights homework, "125."

"Correct. Please no sleeping in my class." said the teacher, "Are you feeling okay? You have never slept in my class before."

Rukia looked over at Ichigo.

"Yeah... I'm just didn't get a lot of sleep last night."

"Oh alright. For homework I want you to do pages 294-304 only 1-35." The bell rang, "Well I hope you all have great weekend see you all Monday."

The students hurried out of the classroom.

"Perfect timing I just got an order." said Rukia running up to Ichigo.

Rukia led Ichigo to a field. They saw a large hollow in the distance. Rukia heard snickering from the bushed that surrounded the fields.

"I have a weird feeling about this." said Rukia. She reached into her bag and pulled out her glove, "Kon must have fell out of my bag this morning. Please be careful."

Ichigo leaped out of his body and drew his sword. He looked at Rukia then ran off to the awaiting hollow.
