"GO AWAY!" Renji continuously yelled as he, Ichigo and Riruka walked down the sidewalk. Every time he yelled, the people they passed gave him strange and dirty looks. He began frantically waving his hands at the air around him.

Ichigo and Riruka ducked and backed away as he swung his hands, "Renji, I know you see ghosts and shit, but you look pretty stupid yelling at thin air in public." Ichigo complained.

"Alright, alright, I'll try to ignore him." Renji responded and put his hands in his pockets, walking casually, though Ichigo could still notice his eye twitching annoyedly, which Riruka giggled at.

"So... I never asked, but" Riruka said, "are you and Nozomi, you know, going out?" she finished. Ichigo looked over to her and pointed to himself. Riruka nodded her head in reponse.

"Yeah. Sorry to disappoint you." he said cockily, to which Riruka smacked him in the arm, "Anyway, what's on the list of things to do on this fine Saturday?" he asked.

"Hmm... I don't know. I never got a proper tour of your little Sanctuary." Riruka responded as she watched Renji's face begin to turn red.

"Oh, you want to see the rest of the Sanctuary, huh? Might as well, I don't have anything else to to do today. Hmm... Sanctuary. I like that name." he responded. He looked down the street and back and walked into a nearby alleyway. Riruka and Renji followed as he opened a portal into the Sanctuary. He walked in and waited for them before he closed the portal. Riruka walked over to the door on the other side of the room and opened it. The room on the other side didn't match the smaller room at all. It was nicely painted the color white and had beautiful wood furniture, and leather couches and recliners. She looked up to see a beautiful glass chandelier.

Riruka looked back at Ichigo in surprise, "How did you get all of this stuff?" she asked slowly.

"My Sixth Sense can turn normal things into other things. For example," he stated, "that table used to be made of rotting old wood, and the recliners used to be old, torn up chairs." he finished as the chairs and tables suddenly began turning old and broken, "But it only lasts so long before it turns back to normal. I can't keep it up for long."

Riruka rested her hand on a recliner as it rotted and fell apart. She looked around the room, but the walls and chandelier remained the same, "Why isn't the rest of the room falling apart?" she asked as the recliner returned to its normal old wooden chair form.

"What? Just because we're on our own means we can't do some renovations?" Ichigo stated.

Riruka rolled her eyes as Renji suddenly burst in a fit of anger, "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T CARE IF YOU DIED OF CANCER, ITS YOUR FAULT FOR SMOKING SO DAMN MUCH!" he shouted, causing the walls to shudder and and his voice to echo through the house.

Ichigo and Riruka were wide-eyed and began laughing as they heard Tatsuki yell from the top floor, "RENJI! SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

Riruka turned to Ichigo and asked, "Does she know its 3:00 in the afternoon?"

"I doubt it, She's a cleptomaniac." Ichigo responded.

Riruka simply stared at him in confusion, "Come on, your smarter than this, what does that mean? Uh... uh... Damn."

"I'll go ahead wipe the dumbass look on your face, it means she randomly falls alseep throughout the day. She's been getting better about it and working out when she sleeps so she has a schedule." Ichigo said.

"Dammit, I was trying to figure it out myself." she said as she and Ichigo looked over to see Renji struggling to push thin air out the door.

"Ha, looks like Renji finally decided to kick the ghost out." he said as he walked up the stairs to the far side of the room. Riruka followed closely behind and ran her hand along the railing and walls.

"Wow. Its so well done and painted." she thought to herself. She looked up at Ichigo as he opened a door that led to a hallway, "You could be a carpenter, you know, Ichigo." she said as they walked down the hall.

"Thanks." he said plainly as he opened the first door they walked up to, revealing two bunk beds, "This is Orihime's, Nozomi's, and Tatsuki's

room." he said, suddenly ducking and forcing Riruka to follow as a bullet of blue energy flew overhead.

"GO AWAY! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!" Tatsuki yelled pointing a pistol at them.

"Did she really just shoot at us?!" Riruka said panicking.

"Don't worry, their more stun bullets then lethal bullets, unless she's really pissed off. Yup, the day of the month you gotta run for cover, and replacing the furniture might have to be added to the to do list." he reassured her. At least now she knew to keep and eye out for a pissed Tatsuki. They stood and closed the door, they walked over to the room directly across the hall.

Ichigo reached for the handle, but Riruka caught his wrist, "Are there any projectiles I should be worried about?" she asked sarcastically.

"Ha... maybe." he said suddenly serious, scaring Riruka. He opened the door to reveal Nanao hanging off the top bunk of the bunk bed reading a novel. there was one normal bed to the left of the bunkbed, "This is Me, Renji's and Nanao's room." he said waving at Nanao.

"Why does she sleep in here? There's another bunk in the other room." Riruka pointed out.

"Because she doesn't like to deal with the other girls, and she's the only one of them that doesn't find sleeping in here to be perverted." he explained.

"Oh. I wanna ask, or this is going to bother me all day, is she a lesbian?" she asked in a whisper.

Ichigo was slightly surprised, but he had heard the question before, "I don't know, nor do I really want to know."

"That's a really good question though." Nanao said in a loud whisper from across the room.

Ichigo and Riruka jumped and shut the door running down the hall and stopping at the end. They were down on their hands and knees trying to catch their breath, "Did she hear everything we just said?" Riruka asked in a panicked voice.

"Probably, I forgot that once she's used her hypnosis on you, she's pretty much in your head." Ichigo replied.

"I gotta keep my eye out for her now, I don't wanna know what she'll do to me for questioning her sexuality, she creeps the shit out of me." she screamed.

"Speak for yourself, I sleep in the same room as her, she might kill me. She might hypnotize me in my sleep and make me jump off the roof." Ichigo whined in reply.

"Oh, calm down you damn pussies, I'm not gonna kill you over a question. And I'm straight." Nanao yelled from the doorway.

"SHUT UP!" Tatsuki yelled from her bed.

"That's a lie!" Ichigo yelled at Nanao.

Tatsuki appeared from the doorway of her room with a picture frame and Nanao pulled out her book. They threw the objects at Ichigo yelling, "SHUT UP!" simaltaneously.

Ichigo lie on the ground with a bloody forehead a second later, Riruka nervously laughing in fear. He forced himself to sit up, "Can we please continue without any more interruptions now?" he asked

-2 hours later-

"So where are we going again?" Nanao asked as she, Ichigo and Riruka walked down the sidewalk.

Ichigo and Riruka looked over to her annoyedly, "You just don't care half the time do you? We're going to the mall. I'm buying a tv, its boring as hell since the old one broke."

"How'd it break?" Riruka asked.

"It was my cover from Tatsuki last month." he responded. Ichigo suddenly stopped mid-step and looked at a man on the other side of the road. He was short and had white spiky hair and turquoise eyes, "Looky, looky, looky, what do we have here? A Cryptid?" he said as he carefully studied the man's actions and movements. They were normal, but his hair and eyes weren't, they were unnatural. Ichigo took the opportunity to cross the street while the man was distracted by his phone. He leaned over to the others, "Follow my lead." he whispered as he walked toward the man as he walked toward them.

Ichigo picked up the pace slightly while the man kept his eyes on his phone. Ichigo and the man collided and knocked each other on their asses. The man's phone landed on his lap, and he looked up to Ichigo worriedly, "Uh, uh, sorry!" the man said nervously, "I was... distracted." he said as he stood up and wiped the dirt of himself and then Ichigo's shirt.

"No, its my fault, I wasn't paying attention." Ichigo responded. The two laughed nervously for a minute until Ichigo put his hand out, "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." he said as the man shook his hand.

"Toshiro Hitsuguya." he responded. Ichigo noticed that Toshiro's hand was cold to the touch.

"Nice to meet you, Cryptid." the two suddenly said simaltaneously, causing the two to jump and take steps back, "How'd you know? Your hair." they said, again, simaltaneously.

"This is getting freaky." Riruka whispered to Nanao who nodded in agreement. She looked back to the two to see that they were laughing from the scare they shared.

"Riruka, Nanao." he said signaling them to come over. They obeyed and walked over to the two, "Toshiro, Riruka, Riruka, Toshiro, Nanao, Toshiro, Toshiro, Nanao." Ichigo said introducing them all.

They all shook hands, exchanging greetings, "Ichigo, you took a risk accusing him of being a Cryptid without being certain, and revealing that you're a Cryptid yourself without even denying it one bit." Nanao pointed out.

"I can tell with a glance, I don't need to be certain. Come to think of it, Toshiro here has a blood temperature of 30 degrees F, plus his skin is cold as hell, I'm gonna guess you can control ice?" he said.

Toshiro's eyes were wide, "Actually, that's pretty close. Ice pumps through my heart and flows in my veins. My embodiement itself is the source my power." he stated, "I have to sacrifice my body to create the ice I command." he said as he grabbed his wrist, turning it to ice, detatching it and throwing it to the ground. It turned to an ice puddle and shifted into a humanoid form. Toshiro raised his remaining hand and high-fived the ice man. It walked around and looked at Ichigo and the others before Toshiro placed his handless arm against it, reverting it back to his hand.

He moved his wrist to make sure it had complete feeling in it, "Cool. Ha, cool." Ichigo said.

Toshiro looked up to Ichigo, "I showed you my Sixth Sense, now you show me yours." Toshiro requested. Ichigo shrugged and moved his hands around, creating a sword. He reached over to the wall of the building and swiped his finger across it and opening a miniature portal to the Sanctuary. He poked his head through it and found Nozomi on the other side.

"Hi, Nozomi." he said pulling back out and letting her poke her head through. She appeared to be talking to them through a window.

"Hi, Ichigo. Who's your friend?" she asked as she peered at Toshiro.

"He's Toshiro, he's our new Cryptid friend." Ichigo said in response.

"He's short." she said, causing Toshiro to turn red.

"I'm not short, shut up!" he shouted angrily.

"Alright, see you in a bit." Ichigo said as she backed out, letting him close the portal.

Toshiro turned to Riruka, "How about y..." he stopped mid-sentence once he saw that his phone was floating in mid-air. Toshiro snatched his phone and put it in his pocket and turned to Nanao, "Now you." he said as she removed the make up and lense. She stared into his eye, causing him to slowly fall under her trance. He stumbled and swayed slightly before she looked away and released him from the spell. He shook his head to regain focus, "Well, aren't we a pack of surprises? Anyway, I need to go, its getting late. See you later." Toshiro said as he ran past them and waved goodbye.

The trio watched him as he ran, "Its nice to meet another Cryptid, you never know when you'll come to care for them." he said glancing at Riruka without her noticing, "He's right though, we should go, it is getting late."

Riruka noticed that Nanao looked away from the sky and covered her right eye. Ichigo ripped over a portal to the Sanctuary. Suddenly a black figure appeared from around a corner form the far side of the building. Riruka got a better look and realized that it was a raven-haired woman wearing a black over coat and matching short leather boots. She raised a pistol and aimed it at Ichigo, "Freeze, Kurosaki!" she yelled as she fired a round at the wall next to them.

"Shit." he said as he slammed the portal shut and turned to the woman, "Hello to you too, ." he said cockily.

"Just shut up, you either come with me, or I shoot." the woman said pulling back the trigger slightly and taking dead aim at Ichigo's chest.

What do you think she's ready to kill them for? Also, who do you think it is(it should be easy)? Anyway, answer in a review please.
