(Author's Note: The Bold Italic stuff is Ichigo's Narrative parts)
A crowd of students fill the area, cheering and booing coming from all sides. In the middle of it all, a young teen with fiery orange hair. He stares down as he slowly picks up his head and looks at the man he is fighting. His face is scraped and bruised, his shirt slightly ripped around the shoulder and arms, his brown piercing eyes glaring. The orange haired kid wears the school uniform of a all white buttoned shirt with blue slacks.
"Is that all you got?" The boy says to his opponent. "You don't belong here...now leave while your still able to." The man replies. The boy gets up from his knees and stares the man down. The man also wears the school uniform, for he is a senior. His shirt however, is torn down the middle exposing his chest and well toned abs. The man has locks of black hair, and a Stern look on his face. "I'll show you who belongs and who doesn't." the boy yells as he then charges at the man. He balls his left hand into a fist and begins his assault. He swings with straight punches with both lefts and rights, but the man dodges them quite easily.
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and I'm a high school student, age 15. As you can tell I have bright orange hair, and it usually gets me into situations I try to avoid. I bet your wondering how I got myself into this situation." As Ichigo narrates through thought, the man blocks a fist, catching it then smiles. Ichigo's face then shoots a expression of shock. The man begins to counter attack after pushing Ichigo's fist back, with punches of his own. He hits Ichigo a few times in the gut and face, while Ichigo is barely able to block what punches he can follow with his eyes.
"I can't believe it...I can't believe this is happening..."Ichigo manages to parry one of the attacks, then uses a fierce left hook which connects with the man's face. The man stumbles, on impact, and begins bleeding from his mouth. He wipes his mouth with his wrist as he adjust himself. Ichigo breathes heavily, panting, still leaning from the punch. "not bad Kurosaki but now its over." The man says as he rushes at Ichigo. Tired, Ichigo is barely able to put his hands up to defend.
The man then barrages Ichigo with quick, upward punches into the sternum. The impact of the punches knocks Ichigo off his feet a few inches in every punch. "This is the end Kurosaki..." The man said as he then uses a round house kick that sends Ichigo flying to the floor to the side of him. Ichigo hits the floor hard, coughing harshly as he gasp for air. "Ugh..ack...ack!" Ichigo manages to utter. "I told you this is how it would end...with me standing and you on the floor Graveling."
The man then looks away with a smug, confident look on his face. He looks down, and begins walking away, but not before muttering "You aren't fit to be in my presence, let alone my sister's". The crowd then goes silent as they step aside and open a path to leave. The man walks away slowly as Ichigo grips the dirt between his fingers. "Thats right...This all started when I met her..."He looks up and notices a young girl, her short hair with a bang between her eyes. Her big eyes, now sorrowful, looking down on him. Ichigo begins to lose consciousness, as his sight begins to fade to black. "I'm ..so sorry Ichigo." She gently speaks as his sight goes dark. "My life changed, the day I met Rukia Kuchiki. I remember as if it just happened..."Ichigo thinks back to that day.
-2 months ago-
Its a hot day in karakura town, as the end of summer vacation is days away. Ichigo is seen walking with his sister Karin from soccer practice. He has his hands behind his head, and looks down at karin. "So is it true karin?" he asks, his face getting shifty.
"Is what true?" Karin replies
"Did you really kick the ball at that kid's crotch?" Ichigo said.
"Well no...kinda..." She answers, looking up at Ichigo with a aggrivation. "He said that I shouldn't be on the team because I was girl. Not to mention he said he was a better soccer player than me. It just so happen that coach chose him to be the goalie for today's practice. I went for a goal, he went for the block and well things happen." She said while giving Ichigo a fake smile. she then turns her head and gives a menacing smirk. "Besides, he had it coming sooner or later" she thinks to herself.
Ichigo sighs and then smiles at his little sister. he could always tell when she was lying "Well next time be more careful Karin. Your coach might bench you for the last game of summer".
"Yeah yeah ...I know Ichigo" karin answers smiling back at him. "Oh yeah, did you read that school letter you got yet?" She asks him.
"Well not yet, I don't even know why I got it in the first place. I don't even go to that school. Hell I never even heard of it at all. I did however hear about the rich organization, behind the funding of the school. What was it called again?..." As Ichigo ponders, karin and Ichigo soon turn their attention to infront of them as they hear a man suddenly yelling.
"Hey get back here! You didn't pay for that!" The store clerk yells as he shakes his fist at the girl in black robes running away. The young woman soon runs between them. "Its at that moment that our eyes met." Ichigo looks at her and she looks at him. Their eyes lock on to each other before she turns her head and keeps running and says Excuse me. Ichigo stops and watches as she runs away. The store clerk then runs up to Ichigo and karin.
"Why didn't you try to stop her! You were right there!" The clerk asks shouting at Ichigo.
"Wait what? What the hell would make you think that I would stop some pety thief? For all I know she could had a weapon. Besides isn't it your job to catch thieves from your store." Ichigo yells back.
The store clerk growls at him. "I'm just gonna call the police, thanks for nothin kid"
"Yeah...and thanks for being a pain in my ass..." Ichigo thinks to himself with a look of aggrivation of his own.
Karin chuckles to herself as everything cools down. "Well, well...who would have thought, my big, tough, big brother Ichigo is a coward." She comments.
Ichigo then glares directly at Karin. "Shut up Karin. Its not like that."
"So what is it like then? Either your a coward or you just useless when it comes to girls with cute faces." Karin replies.
Ichigo stays quiet and simply continues to glare at her. Blushing just a of embarassment."Whatever! Lets just go home twerp" He said slightly mad that he is getting teased. "Whatever you say Ichigo" Karin says laughing at her brother. They then begin to walk home again. Karin begins running and Ichigo follows after. They both begin to smile and laugh as the sun slowly sets on their day."Who knew that after a chance encounter, that I would end up seeing her again, just a few days later. To top it off, of all places my "new" school."
