"Going crazy for a week, the girlfriend's gonna freak, because I know that I'd be freakin too 'cause that's those thing that girlfriends do!"

"Flame! Could you turn down the singing?!"

WHOA! Hold up. You're probably kind of in the dark right now, right? Yeah, so, lets rewind.

Glass shattered as a car was thrown into the air out of nowhere and landed against a light post. There was a bright orange light and a girl screamed, "Mom! Dad!"

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA! Too, too far back!

There was a knock at Ichigo's door. When he opened the door, "What the hell?"

Perfect.

Karin walked up behind Ichigo. "Hey you finally came back." Then came Yuzu and Isshin. Yuzu's face lit up with excitement. Then Isshin walked over to the doorway. There, stood a girl with short brown-orange hair, amber eyes, and light olive skin. She was holding two suitcases and had a red, orange, and yellow backpack. "I thought you were half way around the world. When did you get back?" Yuzu asked.

The girl looked down and didn't answer. Then Isshin walked over to her, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"There was an accident." he simply said, "You see, Kasuo here, will be living with us from now on." Ichigo, Karin, and Yuzu were all confused right now. "But why can't she stay with Aunt Akane and Uncle Daichi?" Yuzu asked confused. Kasuo bit her bottom lip, "They... Well... Uh..." Isshin looked at his three children and continued, "They died in a car accident last Friday." he lowered his head and then looked at his niece. Kasuo was still biting her lip and her eyes were shut.

She was obviously trying to hold back tears.

Yuzu broke into hysterical tears, Ichigo was still too shocked to do anything, and Karin started to cry a little bit.

Yuzu ran to Kasuo and hugged her tightly. Karin hugged her older cousin as well. After it sunk in a little bit, Ichigo hugged her too.

After a while, Isshin broke the silence, "Ichigo, Karin, Yuzu, why don't you help her get settled in the extra room."

Ichigo grabbed one of her suitcases, and then lead Kasuo to her room.

Ichigo put her bag down and heard Isshin call him down stairs.

When Ichigo got to the bottom of the stairs, he was tackled by the crazy, seems like he's always hyped up on caffeine, Keigo Asano. "Ichigo! Chad, Mizuiro and me are heading to the movies to see if we could find hot dates there! You wanna come?!" He asked elbowing him and winking.

"I believe its Chad, Mizuiro and I." a voice from behind Ichigo spoke. Ichigo turned around, and his other three friends poked their heads behind him, and saw Kasuo.

"Oh. Hey." Ichigo simply said.

Isshin walked up to the girl on the staircase and said, "Kasuo, why don't you go wit them? It will give you a chance to meet your class mates."

Kasuo looked at him and said, "Sorry, no can do... I'm hungry." Kasuo got off the stairs and walked towards the kitchen.

Keigo watched her walk away, then turned to Ichigo, "Hey, who was that?"

Ichigo rolled his eyes and said, "That was my cousin, Kasuo."

"Your dad said she was coming into our class."

"Yeah."

"Cool."

Ichigo looked at his friend and then caught on, "Don't even think about it Keigo! She's only fourteen and the only reason she's in our class is because she skipped a grade which makes her smarter than you!"

Keigo looked disappointed, but not defeated. "I just wanted to teacher what our grade and school is like. A pretty girl like her will get it a lot!"

That response was met with a swift smack across the face.

Ichigo left with his friends after double-checking with Kasuo that she didn't want to go with them. Kasuo simply answered "No," each time.

Then right before Ichigo left, he told her to go walk around and see what Karakura town has to offer her.

Outside she could hear one of his friends say, "I don't need to find a hot date anymore. I need to save myself for Kasuo."

Ichigo hit him again.

"Joking simply joking my fine fellow friend."

"Keigo."

"Yes Mizuiro?"

"That made absolutely no sense what so ever."

"Yes-m."

"What?"

"Exactly."

Kasuo opened up the refrigerator and looked around. She found... Nothing with a nice heaping side of... Squat. She was about to close the door when a little black head of hair popped up next to her. "Hey Kasu." Karin spoke. Kasuo looked at her little cousin, trying to hide her pain. "Hey Karin. You hungry too?"

"Not really."

Kasuo shut the refrigerator door and looked around the semi-unfamiliar kitchen, then at Karin, "Sooo...." she started, "Ichigo wants me to go around town to, well, look around, I guess... You wanna come?"

Karin shrugged, and Kasuo went to go back upstairs. "I am a little hungry." Karin spoke. "Uncle Isshin, Karin and I are gonna go around town!" Kasuo called as she grabbed her stuff and Karin and walked out the door. Well more like ran out the door but whatever.
