I walked into the classroom, trailing behind Usaka. She seemed very excited for some reason, but when I asked about it, she shook it off. I wonder what on earth- She entered the room and I did too. My eyes went immediately to the boy with bright orange hair. So that's what has Usaka so up?

"Hi there I'm Usaka Daidouchi. Who might you be?"

"Yahoo! Ichigo! Good morning! It's my main man! My main man Ichigo!"

"Shut up Keigo, you're making my ears bleed."

He wasn't wrong.

"And you pretty lady, who might you be?"

"Not interested."

"I've never heard such a quick response."

I watched all of them scream. My eyes drifted toward the window where I watched the rain. I remember once when it rained in the spirit world and the world looked like the sea. I wonder what everyone is doing right now?

"Excuse me, you're in my way."

I looked behind me to see a thin boy with glasses and a scowl.

"I'm sorry."

I moved away, but as I did so the boy bumped into me and this strange electric shock shot through my arm. He noticed it as well, just a normal shock right? I went to Usaka and her new companions. I looked around the room some more and focused on the faces. There were so many people here. It was then I went to my seat far away from Usaka, but by the window in the front. The orange boy sat in the row next to me, and he spoke to a beautiful girl with black hair and an overly present smile.

RoAR!

My head twitched and my eyes went to the world outside. That sound again. What is it? Why can't anyone else hear it? I turned back around and saw that orange and beautiful were looking out the window as well. Orange looked over to beautiful and nodded. Then he raised his hand.

"Yes Ichigo?"

"I'm not feeling well, can I run to the nurse?"

"Again? Alright."

He got up and left the room. Beautiful was staring out the window, so my eyes went with hers. Then I saw it, a man in a black robe. Just like the kind Baron had been running from for some time. That man had orange hair. Could it be that they're the same person? The door opened again and there he was, orange boy.

"Well I feel better!"

He happily took his seat next to me. Then I guess they can't be the same person, but how many people in Japan have orange hair? And this orange had a different expression all together. I could see it in his eyes, that this wasn't the same boy.

I don't know what possessed me, but my hand raised all on it's own.

"Yes Chihiro?"

"May I go to the nurse?"

"What? I mean, sure?"

I got up and left the room. Once out of sight I ran down the halls. I must be crazy but I have to know what's going on. I better make sure not to be caught. I went to my locker and grabbed my umbrella and ran outside. Where is the orange boy?

ROaR!

That sound again, I forgot it. What was waiting out here for me? I heard that roar again and ran to it. Then I heard a deep and frightening voice.

Ah Yes, a SoUL rEApeR. MY My, yOu LoOK VErY TaSteY.

That voice, I know that voice. It's a little distorted but I've heard that voice. The Baron! Why does he sound like that? I ran into the bushes and there I saw it. I fell backwards. Words couldn't describe what I saw. Large scaled purple legs, big-clawed hands, and a frightening large white mask instead of a face; All of that and the voice of the Baron. No Face ate a person once and took his voice, could it be that Baron was eaten?

"Look I'm in a hurry, so I need to take you out now."

Another voice? I peered through the leaves and there he was, orange. He had a black robe on and wielded a giant sword wrapped in gauss. How was he carrying something so heavy looking?

Oh? I dOn't THinK wE'RE AlOnE SoUL rEAper!

The meaty hand extended and wrapped around me, crushing me, and picked me up. I screamed, I don't know why. Screaming never makes the problem go away. The monster moved me to its mouth. This was it; I was going to die without ever seeing my spirit again. Then something happened. I was suddenly falling, but I was still in the clutches of this demon. The fingers loosened and I was in the arms of someone else now. Then my feet were back on damp soil. The arm was on the ground and the creature was howling in pain. Who was holding me steady? I looked up to see-

"Orange?"

"What? Wow that's nice, I mean I'm kinda saving your life right now."

"Well it's not like you ever told me your name?"

"Hey, you're right. Hey Hallow!"

The monster is called a Hallow.

"Remember the name Ichigo Kurosaki!"

The hallow howled in pain and Ichigo ran closer to it with his large weapon in the air. Was he going to kill it? But Baron is still inside there, what if he dies too? Ichigo jumped into the air and crashed his sword into the mask.

"NO! STOP!" I called.

The sword didn't go all the way through and Ichigo was sent flying by the free hand of the hallow. The sword landed in the dirt. I looked up at the monster screaming in pain. Then I saw it, behind the mask was a face.

"Baron! Baron what happened to you!?"

I ran to him but he only screamed. Ichigo stood up and screamed for me to back away. Baron was a harmless ghost who only wanted to help a cat.

"Baron!"

He died to protect that cat. He gave it a name and let it eat at his house. It never stayed for long but it always came back. Muta, the fat stray cat, was about to get hit by a car when he leapt out and caught the cat, getting hit in the process.

"No stop! You'll hurt yourself!"

I ran and ran until a white clay spewed from Baron's mouth and the mask reappeared. The remaining hand scooped me up.

HoW kInd oF yOU BuT tHe BaROn isN't hERe aNymOrE! NoW! LeT mE DeVouR yOUr sOuL!

Ichigo got up again and began to try and get his sword out of the dirt. The hollow moved me to its mouth again. When I could smell its horrible breath and could no longer feel the rain pelting at my face a light struck the monster. It dropped me again and the light caught me.

Standing beside me was a boy. I focused on his features. That face, I'd know it anywhere.

"Chihiro, call my name."

"Your name."

"You do remember it don't you?"

"Of course I do!"

He held his hand out and I took it.

"By the wind and water within, now scream! Kohaku!"

There was the sound of shattering glass and he turned into a dragon. Then he attacked the hollow that was Baron. Baron was dead now, and no one could save him.

Ichigo ran past me, "Keep him steady!"

"Kohaku!"

The dragon bit into the neck of the beast, holding him still. Then Ichigo's sword blast through the white face and the monster disappeared. I fell to my knees in awe of what I had just seen. Kohaku returned to normal and knealt down to me.

"You did very well Chihiro."

"Did that just happen?"

"I have to leave now, but I'll be back, don't worry."

"Wait!"

He disappeared with the rain and clouds. Ichigo stood beside me.

"So, Chihiro was it? We should probably get back to class."

"Oh no I completely forgot!"
