Senna's Resurrection

Chapter 2: homework

Waking up was always a devious task for the young Kurosaki Ichigo. Every morning, Yuzu, the kinder sweeter half of his devil pair of twin sisters, would call him down to breakfast before his father made a attempt to tackle kick him as a sign of father-son bonding. After fifteen years of this, however, Ichigo had learned how to dodge.

"Yes! You truly are my son; there is nothing more I can teach you"

"Leave Ichi-Nii alone old man, he'll be late for school!" Karin the darker slightly boyish sister was almost like a projection of Ichigo's thoughts towards his father (he constantly watched her beat him half to death).

"Right, well I'm off then." picking up a piece of toast Ichigo left the house and began to walk to school. "I hope we don't get any hollows today… that would really su-"

"ICHI-CHAN!" Senna came running from her house next door and through her arms around him before bestowing a long kiss on his cheek. When she let go she put her arms behind her back and looked sweetly up at him. Ichigo sighed.

"Come on let's go…" they started to walk together when another voice called out to him.

"Hey Kurosaki" Ishida Uryū was a class mate, rival of killing hollows with Ichigo, and a Quincy.

"Kurosaki-Kun" …and then there was Inoue Orihime, another fellow class mate, with special powers of her own.

"Ishida, Inoue, what's up?" Ishida looked concerned.

"Tōshirō-Kun is here!" Inoue had a happy attitude as it was most likely he was staying at hers, but she too looked like something big was up.

"…but I can't… we've got school!"

"Don't worry Ichi-Chan! I'll tell them you're sick." Senna gave him another kiss on the cheek, then sped of towards the school. Ichigo turned around to find a bemused Inoue "no change there" he thought…

…and Ishida was trying to suppress a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

As they entered Inoue's apartment Ichigo noted the three people sitting on her sofa: Hitsugaya Tōshirō, captain of the tenth division, Matsumoto Rangiku his lieutenant and Kuchiki Byakuya the captain of the sixth division.

"Byakuya, why are you here?"

"Captain Hitsugaya was originally given this mission, but we thought it might be better to bring someone who could help if things got out of hand."

"Kurosaki Ichigo, Soul society has a special mission for you; you may or may not know the new girl in your class named Senna…"

"We met."

"She has very high spiritual power and along with you could fill in a space for captaincy; your mission is to help her revive her memories of being a shinigami. If you are successful, you and Senna will receive the rank of Captain." Ichigo nodded "Byakuya will be working under cover as a teacher at school, I will be under cover as your cousin, we have altered the memories of your family making them believe Matsumoto is your aunt." he paused and looked at the other two "We will be supervising you on helping her regain her memories so we need to do this quickly. Byakuya will be reporting our efforts to the soul society."

"And what about the Hollows?"

"Rukia-Chan and your friends can handle them, Ichigo-Kun." Matsumoto winked at him then fell silent again when Hitsugaya continued talking.

"We will begin this Saturday when the summer break starts." he got up, Matsumoto followed suit. Byakuya ,however, remained seated.

"Captain Hitsugaya may I ask to talk with Kurosaki alone?"

"Sure. I'll go tell soul society that we made contact with Kurosaki and made the offer." he and his lieutenant walked out the room leaving Ichigo and the sixth division captain alone.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, I have a special mission for you"

"A special mission?" Byakuya handed him a large envelope "what's this?"

"Instructions on the proper use and teachings of Kidoh, if you are to become a Captain you will need to know this"

"Kenpachi never learned it…"

"Captain Kenpachi is an idiot and a barbarian." he almost smiled "You, I hope, are not." he stood up "Think of this as Homework Kurosaki Ichigo." he then left a very bemused Ichigo alone in Inoue's apartment.

"ICHI-CHAN!" Senna came bounding into his room, her school uniform still on. Throwing her bag onto the floor by his bed, she jumped onto his bed. "School was so boring with out you… and Keigo-Kun was being all weird at me…" she placed her two fore fingers together and looked at the floor, Ichigo laughed at this.

"Keigo is always like that, he considers himself a ladie's man." Senna looked confused.

"Well Ichi-Chan, you're this ladies man." she winked at him and did that giggle that made Ichigo weak at the knees. "…well I'd best be off… see you tomorrow, Ichi-Chan!" she kissed him on the cheek and left. Ichigo fell into bed shortly after and drifted into a deep sleep.
