Ch. 2

Ichigo sighed as she woke up the next day and remembered the night before; she headed downstairs to find her family only remembered a truck crashing into the house. She just accepted their story and then headed to school as she wondered if it had all been a dream…

She was sitting in her classroom when the midget shingami was shown into the room by the teacher, Ichigo nodded to her as she passed by and dropped a note in her lap that told Ichigo to meet the girl on the roof at lunch…

Lunch time soon came and Rukia if Ichigo remembered correctly, told her that Ichigo had to do her job as she was powerless at the moment until her powers came back. Ichigo argued right back and told her that she had too much on her plate to deal with at the moment and couldn't do the job. Suddenly the girl's phone went off and she used a glove to push Ichigo out of her body, Ichigo then yelled at her only to be interrupted and told that Hollows will go after humans in their hunts. Ichigo cursed and they quickly followed the roars but arrived too late to stop the hollow from escaping.

The next day…

Ichigo saw one of her best friends crossing the street when a drunk driver suddenly came out of nowhere and nearly hit Orihime but it almost looked like someone had pushed her out of the way. Rukia got a closer look at Orihime's leg and told Ichigo that the bruises were caused by a hollow…

Later that night…

Ichigo attacked the hollow that was attacking Orihime and learned the truth about what hollows really were before they got through to Sora and Sora stabbed himself with Ichigo's sword. Orihime and Tatsuki were then made to remember nothing about what happened that night, Ichigo though found their conflicting stories hilarious the next day even if she didn't show it. She then turned her thoughts to what she had learned about hollows and shingami when a thought struck her and after school, she pulled her "Roommate" to the side and then asked "Rukia…I have what may seem like a strange question…"

Rukia looked surprised at the small glimmer of hope in Ichigo's eyes and asked what the question was; Ichigo sighed and asked Rukia to walk with her while she explained the story behind what she need to know but wouldn't ask the question until the end of her story. Rukia looked confused but followed Ichigo as Ichigo said "Rukia, what I tell you MUST stay between us."

Rukia could see she was serious and nodded as Ichigo sighed in relief as she said "I have never told anyone this part of my life before…not even Chad knows this."

Rukia looked confused until Ichigo started her story about Akuma and told her what happened to her beloved pet a year before her mother died, Rukia listened in sadness as she now knew what Ichigo wanted to know and said "Ichigo…I don't know what happens to animals when they die. I wish I could tell you but I honestly don't know…"

The light died in Ichigo's eyes as she said "that's fine…Rukia, thank you for being honest about that…"

Meanwhile…

Dumbledore cursed as he tried to find Rose Potter once again so he could turn her into his weapon to defeat Voldemort, the only thing he had to go on was that the Dursleys had abandoned her on a Japanese orphanage's doorstep. He began to think about what he hadn't tried when slowly an idea began to form…

Meanwhile, one week later, back with Ichigo….

Chad brought in a Parakeet and Rukia looked at the bird in shock as she whispered to Ichigo that the bird had a human soul, Ichigo looked at her in shock as the bird began to talk…

That night

Ichigo slammed the door to her room after she had dealt with the hollow that had been after the little boy inside the bird, she laid face down on her bed as tears welled up in her eyes. It was just too much…her normal schooling, magic schooling and now the duty of a Shingami, she was drowning under the pressure and it felt like she was utterly alone since Akuma and her mother had died. She tried to suppress the tears but couldn't stop them as she began to quietly sob into her pillow; she finally managed to stop crying about ten minutes later when she heard Yuzu calling her for supper, she told Yuzu that she would be right down and then quickly went into her bathroom and scrubbed her face.

She came down the stairs as her father made to attack her when he noticed that Ichigo looked stressed and stopped his attack, he asked if something was wrong and Ichigo just told him that is was just stress from the loads of home work she had been getting lately. Isshin watched as Ichigo headed into the kitchen and sighed with a slightly worried look on his face.

Few weeks later…

Ichigo sighed as she slid into the tub after getting home from her magic lessons; she smiled as she remembered what her teacher had told her, apparently she was almost done her lessons and her final test was to summon, find or create a familiar. She sighed and dunked her head under the warm bath water as she then surfaced and scrubbed her body.

Meanwhile…

Gin was on a mission to try and destroy Grand fisher who had been seen in the area he was in, Gin sniffed the air as he cursed the mist for disguising the hollow's scent while he was blindsided suddenly by a hollow! The disguised Silver Nekomata hissed and managed to kill the hollow but his whole left side burned in pain from where he had been clawed and he had a nasty bite mark on his shoulder. Gin knew he was losing a lot of blood and he would revert to his true form before he could get help, he then headed away from the battle site and towards the area where Ichigo lived.

A good ten minutes later, he collapsed just underneath Ichigo's window with a pained mewl as his body turned into his true form. He never noticed the young girl sticking her head out the window and looking down, he never even heard her gasp in shock as he focused on trying to keep conscious…

Ichigo hurried outside to the large, horse sized Nekomata's side and quickly assessed the damage; she hissed sadly at seeing the tell-tale marks of a hollow and gently reached out to stroke the moonbeam silver fur with pure white markings. Gin snarled weakly as the hand brushed a sore rib and felt the wonderfully cool hand remove itself, he raised his head weakly and looked at the girl through blurry eyes as she asked him to take on his small form so she could get him inside for treatment of his wounds. Gin then slowly did as the teen had asked and felt himself being picked up and taken inside, the girl then called for her father who came in and stared at the cat in her arms.

Isshin looked shocked at seeing a handsome silver Nekomata in his daughter's arms as she quickly explained where she found him, Isshin then told her to head into the kitchen and he would see what he could do while she washed the blood off her body. Ichigo nodded and gently placed the cat down on the towels her father had placed down then headed up stairs to change…

The next day…

Gin groaned as he woke up in an unfamiliar room and looked around, he then remembered what happened and quickly made to stand only to meow in pain. He then noticed the girl that had helped him sleeping next to him with her hand lying gently across his back; he wiggled out from under her hand carefully so he didn't injure himself further and took a good look at his savior. He stepped closer as she then opened her eyes causing him to meow in surprise and scramble backwards; she giggled and gently reached out to stroke his ears causing a loud, rumbling purr to come out of him. Gin didn't even notice as he was gently scooped up, all he wanted was more ear rubbings as he nuzzled the girl's neck and gave her big puppy eyes.

Ichigo laughed softly at the Nekomata and complied with his demands as she then gently grabbed a small cat collar and put it around the Nekomata's small neck. Gin looked at her in surprise as she then told him that she would like to do a familiar bond with him but he would be able to come and go as he pleased when his wounds healed. Gin thought about that then purred as he licked at her hand, he had to admit that all the mages he had ever met in his true form had tried to force him but this child was asking him and it certainly sounded interesting. He looked up at her and nodded causing a pretty smile across her face, she then gently hugged him and placed him down on the pillow as she told him he had school but she would be back at 2:30 pm.

Two hours later…

Gin yawned as he woke from going back to sleep after his new mistress left for school, he looked around and saw a bowl of water with tuna in a dish next to it. He purred happily as he walked down the steps that Ichigo had placed by the bed for him and over to the food, he dug in happily to his meal when Isshin came in with a smile to check on the Nekomata. Gin looked up at Isshin as the man's hands felt his ribs and shoulder gently; he then undid the bandages and smiled at seeing the wounds almost healed. Isshin then retied the bandages as he patted Gin's head and walked out of the room, Gin made to follow but was trapped in the room as Isshin shut the door and locked it…

Two days later…

Ichigo sighed as she got ready to go to the graveyard where her mother was buried, Gin watched from the bed as he was now healed and bonded to Ichigo as her familiar. He knew he had to leave for soul society today as he had to be back by three; Ichigo then scooped him up and placed him on her shoulder as she headed out the door to meet the rest of her family…

Gin waited until they reached the gate of the graveyard then hopped down off Ichigo's shoulder and raced off, he soon reached a good spot to turn back into his human form and gently removed his collar Ichigo had given him. He placed the collar in a secret pocket that he buttoned up then opened the gate to soul society…

Meanwhile…

Ichigo was dealing with Grand fisher with Rukia's help and managed to get the creep severely injured to the point he would have died if he stayed…Ichigo then asked Rukia to leave her alone as she need some time to herself. Rukia nodded as she understood and headed back to the house while Ichigo went over to her mother's grave to pay her respects and just talk to her mom about all the shit going on in her life…

She never noticed the young man watching her from a distance when she stood and left the graveyard with a "See you next year mom…"

Two days later…

Ichigo sighed as she checked her scores on the board and found out she was in the 23rd spot in the whole school, she then turned and came face to face with a boy in her class who was looking at her like she was lower than dirt. She told him to get a life and quit staring at her as she headed back to the class room. After school, she was walking home since she had the week off from Magic lessons when the same boy appeared in front of her. He then told her his name was Uryu Ishida and he knew she was a shingami, Ichigo then asked what he wanted and Uryu told her about his clan and what the shingami had done to his clan and him.

She sighed and pushed past him as she said "I don't have time to deal with your pity party so fuck off and leave me alone!"

Unfortunately that was not to be the case as Uryu grabbed her arm and crushed something he called Hollow bait….

Ichigo was exhausted as she tried to get her spirit energy under control with Uryu's help, she had just beaten the Menos Grande and as soon as she got her reiatsu under control… she passed out. She woke later to find herself at home and her Nekomata familiar lounging beside her in his large form, Ichigo smiled as she looked at the Nekomata she had named Yue for the color of his fur and gave him a good ear rub. Little did she know that her world was about to be turned upside down even more within the week…
