[ARC 1; RETURN]

Episode 1, Konso, A demon princess, names and … A bull? Part 1

It's been three days since I became a Shinigami and I'd spent some time in the town library searching for a way to turn back into a human.

Sure you got powers and everything but being able to see the souls of the dead isn't such a nice experience. If it weren't for the chains in their chests I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and the living. They're not always transparent, and when they are, it's just barely.

Toushiro told me all that he knew and mostly taught me how to defend myself, but lately he's been thinking of teaching me how to do a Konso; the technique of how to send of the dead.

But currently I was playing my role as a high school student. In other words, attending school.

There I was, eating lunch with Toushiro and Rukia, by far my only friends in class, under a tree in the courtyard.

(Well what did you expect? I have ORANGE hair, a name that means 'strawberry' and a glowing neon label above my head that read 'DELINQUENT'. Not exactly friend material.)

Rukia isn't that bad for a rich girl. The only thing she boast on is her drawing skills, which in reality sucked. All she ever drew was a bunch if misshapen bunnies, though you needed to have a long, good look to tell that it was bunnies. On first sight it could be alien creatures.

Not that anyone had the guts to tell her the truth. The first and last person who told her that spent the rest of the day in the infirmary.

I'd only seen two girls who had the strength to pull that off, Rukia and a childhood friend of mine. Speaking of that, I wonder if…

"Hey do you two know a girl by the name Arisawa Tatsuki?"

Well she was definitely here, and judging by their reactions, she's still as demonic as ever.

Rukia spat out her strawberry milk all over the grass and her sleeve. I would laughed at her if I wasn't busy trying to save Toushiro from choking on his lunch.

After a few pats on his back he managed to swallow his lunch down and take a breath.

"Why are you looking for the demon princess?!"

"Demon princess? She still has that name?"

"Whoa, I need a flashback here. You know the demon princess?"

Rukia was wiping away most of the milk she spat out on herself whilst pointing her chopsticks at me with raised eyebrows.

"Tatsuki's an old friend of mine. We were on the same elementary school."

"Can't imagine how you managed to survive, since your a delinquent."

"Tatsuki was my parter in crime, what happened to her now?"

"Are you joking? She's a prefect, a very serious one at that. Break the rules and you can kiss your ass goodbye. Well, you haven't been here for a few years, people change."

I winced at that. Of course. Who could I fool? I hadn't seen Chad, Ishida, Orihime or Tatsuki for years. None of them were probably as I remember. Heck, I probably wouldn't recognise them.

"1.2."

I blinked at Toushiro.

"That's her class."

I grinned at him.

"Thanks."

"You've got 10 minutes till the bell rings so you might want to run."

I got up and shot towards the stairs, throwing my trash in the dustbin beside me.

Okay, before I continue, I should explain my schools system.

There are four grades; Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. In each grade there are ten classes. The has seven floors. The first and second floors are for all the special places. As in the library, club rooms, staff rooms etc. the third to sixth floor are all the classes. The third floor is for the freshman, fourth for sophomore, fifth for juniors and sixth for seniors. The last floor is the roof.

When I reached her class, she was walking towards her class.

"Hey, Demon Princess!"

She turned around and I saw the red armband on her sleeve, the word 'PREFECT' written in white.

"The great Demon Princess became a prefect?! Did hell freeze over when I was gone?"

I lightly joked to her and dodged the fist aimed at my face. She pulled back and grinned.

"So the great Deathberry is back. I wonder if your skills are still as good as before, dear student."

"Hey, remember the deal. You cut the student jokes and I cut the teacher jokes, Sensei. "

"After school, by the river. Be there by three."

That was it. No sappy moment or anything. Our relationship was like that.

The bell rang, it's sound echoing throughout the school.

"See you later Tatsuki."

"Glad you're back, Ichigo."

If only I knew that the day was not going to go as I expected.

But at that time, all I knew was that I was going to have good fight after school.

I turned around and made a dash towards my class, hoping I reach class in time to avoid detention.

I didn't notice, that right outside the window beside me, a girl wearing a white dress and a boy in a blue t-shirt staring at the school.

I didn't notice the fact that they were floating two inches of the ground, or the metal chains on their chest.

If I had, I wouldn't have had to deal with all the shit that came after.
