Chapter 2: Getting Around Town

Karakura Town Train Station

Saturday, 2:55 am

As the crew got off from the arriving train with their luggage, the group paused for a moment to stretch after the long flight and ride. The group especially the younger ones was tired not from traveling as much but it did account towards it but from jet-lag. The Xavier's crew walked down the walkway from the platform coming from Tokyo International Airport then Christian asked the Professor, "Uh- professor...? Do we know what kind of powers do these new mutants have?"

Charles answer was about to her when Logan answered tiredly, "No, Ghost- You know that *Yawn!* Cerebro only detects mutants who used their powers or recently discovered their powers."

"Sorry, I was just-" Christian replied.

"It's alright Chris, I asked that same question too when I came here," Katherine or Kitty interjected.

The group walked in an awkward silence with either headphones blaring various music or looking around as they walked to the hotel.

By the time they got there, which was give or take about forty-five minutes later excluding checking into the hotel about five minutes later. By the time they got to to their rooms they were deadbeat tired and their internal clocks* were all out of whack even for Christian and Kurt, the Institute's resident night owls.

The Next Day

Saturday, 10:30 am

Charles Xavier and Logan where the first ones up among the group and they got dressed. Logan called up room service. A few minutes later, Christian and Kitty got up and finally Kurt did- with loud yawn and a good stretch. After the group got dressed, they came out of their hotel rooms and locked the doors behind them.

"Ok! So do we know where they live?" asked Kitty.

Christian replied, "Kitty, You know its something called asking for directions-"

"Or using a GPS," replied Kitty who cut her off and took out her phone as used it as a GPS.

"Or that too" said Christian agreeing with her.

On route to the Kurosaki residence, with music blaring through her headphones- Christian was not entirely paying attention to where she's going to and not to mention she was a little bit ahead of the group- she collided with a teenager with long orange hair. With her ipod on the ground and headphones now down on her shoulders. Upon getting up the young girl with hair like the sun quickly exclaimed in Japanese," Oh! I am so so sorry! I did not mean to bump into you like that!"

She pause for a quick breather then asked," Are you okay?"

Christian got up and said in English, "No... No. It's okay. I really wasn't paying attention either."

"Once again, I'm sooo sorry! I'm Inoue Orihime!" The young curvaceous woman introduced herself in English.

Christian looked at her in a small disbelief that she actually bumped into Orihime- quite literally- was one of the two mutants that they were going to help out with their own powers. Orihime was about to leave when Christian asked, "Um. Excuse me but I was wondering to you know how to get to-"She paused to think on how to pronounce the other guy's last name first and then first name second properly (Since they are in Japan). Then she continued, "Kurosaki Ichigo...?" Hoping that she got it right.

"Kurosaki-kun...? Yep! I know where he lives! Follow me!"

"Thank you, Orihime," replied Kitty as they walked to the Kurosaki residence.

Kurt asked, "We're sorry if your going out of your way to show us where he lives."

"Nope. It's okay! I was heading to Kurosaki-kun house anyways," Orihime replied shyly with a very small smile on her face as she let the group.

Kurosaki's Residence

11:54 pm

Ding-Dong.

The doorbell rang.

As Ichigo Kurosaki was cleaning up the dishes that he and Rukia used, the door bell rang several times. Stopping from what he was doing he wiped his hands off and headed to the door. Upon getting there he tripping over something he spilled earlier (water most likely) to get to the door. Rukia came down the stairs at the same moment as he fell to get the door.

She opened the door to find that the guests were not only Orihime, who looked like she was glowing, but also five others at the door weren't any of her or Ichigo's friends. Two of them were adults and one of which was in wheelchair. The other three around the same age as Ichigo- two which had dark brown hair and the third had black hair. Orihime said to Rukia in her usual overly cheerful self, "Hi! Rukia! Um... Can I come in? I brought over my notes from class."

Rukia nodded her head to Orihime and then let her pass. She turned back her attention to the group in front of her.

Charles Xavier spoke up and said, "Excuse me. I'm Charles Xavier. I'm looking for Ichigo. Is he here at the moment?"

Logan translated what the professor said in Japanese to her. Rukia asked skeptically in english, "Ichigo? Why are you looking for him."

A wave of relief washed over everyone, specially Logan who would had to translated everything that she would say and vice-versa to the group. And frankly, that would grate on his nerves sooner or later (after doing it for hours)- if she and or the boy that they came for didn't speak english all that well. Plus, it was a good thing that Orihime Inoue spoke english or that would also get a bit tiring eventually.

Then Charles answered, "Yes. We left a message yesterday that we wanted to see him."

"We didn't get a chance to check the messages on the machine," Rukia replied back and she turned around to head back in when she mentioned to come in. She spoke as she headed to the Kitchen, "Do want anything to drink or eat?"

For the most part, most of Xavier's group politely said no while Xavier and Kitty said yes that they would like a glass of cold water.

In the kitchen, Rukia approached Ichigo and told him who was at the door. As Ichigo finally finished mopping up the water that was on the floor from earlier and went to company that was waiting the living room for him. Upon entering the room, Ichigo greeted Orihime first and then turned his full attention to the other five guests.

Sage_Notes:

For those of you, who do not know what is an internal clock it's basically your body sleep-wake cycle and is related to the cycle of the sun or your biological clock.

-Also, some of the other mutants that will be appearing in this story. Some characters will be assuming their comic book personality.

-I had to rewrite this chapter a couple of times because I changed the timeline of what's gonna happen in the next chapter(s).

-Also, in this story all mutants have a higher spiritual awareness than most humans like for example White Queen/Emma Frost but not as high as Ichigo or Orihime's spiritual power. And some mutants' spiritual awareness are natural higher than others.
