Chapter 2 –Aneko-

Today was the special day, walking around school, zoning out it class. She didn't have to really do anything; she'd only be in the real world for a couple days at the most. Thanks god too, every thing was so much worse then back at the Soul Society. Food, disgusting, things actually had a weird taste and smell. Not to mention the fact where she actually had to keep an eye on her sister. She couldn't let her wonder off, or Nori would crack and kill someone. At least everything was easier by the time the actually got to school. They found the person who they were supposed to kill within an hour and they had gotten on the good side of him…well hopefully. Lunch had passed and Aneko had told Nori to go off to find the stripped hatted man, while she stayed in class with Ichigo.

She stood near her seat, standing beside Ichigo again, in the small metal chairs that were barely made for one person to be comfortable in. She looked at him, seeing him still looking out the window. She leaned close to him looking out the same window in the same direction as he was.

"What's so interesting out there…?" She asked politely. Ichigo turned to face her, stopping half way, seeing how close she actually was to his face. "Well, what are you looking at..?" she asked again backing away a little.

"Nothing that concerns you." He said looking back out the window.

"Well, I'm thinking you're waiting for something to happen or someone to appear out there…Am I right..?" She wondered, leaning her back on his desk and her feet propping her up on the back of her heels. Her back facing him, head tilted to the side looking down at him.

"Not even close…" he mumbled.

"Well okay…" She said looking away for a second then looking back at him straight in the eyes. "Did someone close to you die..?" She said. She knew his answer but that feeling she got from just looking into his eyes made feeling of her past come back. The way he was searching out in space for the person to come back, pained her.

"Not exactly." He responded looking back towards Aneko. "But someone left and no one seems to remember her."

"How can no one remember someone…?" she asked. "If a person is important to you, you don't have to worry if other people remember them or not as long as you do." Ichigo nodded weirded out a little that a new girl he had just met would give him advice on some thing totally out of the ordinary and it made her seem like she actually knew what happened the night before, with Rukia leaving and him getting beaten to a pulp. "I mean, I can relate to it." She said letting some of her memories come back to her head for this discussion. "My older brother died, I barely knew him, but I knew someone that loved him very much. And when he died, I could tell that the girl that loved him was searching to find a way to bring him back. Any way possible, in any means and she stills is looking for some way to remember him with out seeing his death every time. It's even painful for me to see her cry every time his name is brought up, but for some reason, my sister doesn't even know he existed, I sure wish she did though, she'd probably be ten times nicer." She smiled, taking away those thoughts of her brother now, even with the short discussion of it, only letting herself remember those things, made her heart ache.

"Yeah it's something like that..." He said standing up pushing the chair away from him. Taking his jacket over his shoulder with his bag and stepping away from Aneko. "You going out for lunch or are you staying here…?" he asked turning around just before exiting the class room.

"Staying here." Aneko said fully sitting on the desk swinging her legs. Ichigo just nodded and walked of into the hallway. Aneko laid down on the desk, her head propped up by her arms, legs up on the desk next to Ichigo's.

She didn't need lunch, no human food, nothing all that much. She could just eat a small lunch and last for a week. Her gigai was ten times more efficient then what Rukia had. It wasn't made by some guy that lived in the human world for sometime. He looked up at the ceiling.

Those memories she had brought back, still in her head. Blood from her brother covering a spot of land, a hollow's dead body slowly decaying on top of her brothers' body, the girl that loved him draining tears from her eyes. Aneko never has cried though, not even when seeing people die…and cry in front of her. Never had let out one tear, with remembering these things just made her head hurt. She sat up, remembering what Shigekuni Yamamoto-sensei told her when her brother had died.

"Feelings of others just get in the way of the job. Shinigami's are just supposed to get their job done, and done with out any failing. If you let your feelings out you will loose your strength, but some of your feelings may power your strength. That's why you wanted to seal your memories of this incident and those of your sister." She repeated his exact words softly to her self. Staring into the blank wall of the boring classroom, not really caring if others heard her, she'd erase their memories of her when her job was competed.
