"Katsumi, no! No, no, no, no! A princess should not have to get out of bed so early to go to school!" Tsukiko shrieked as she clung to her bed post. "Let. Go." Her sister grunted as she pulled her feet off the bed. "Never! Let me go! I don't want to go to school! I don't wanna I don't wanna!" Tsukiko whined. "Ugh, you spoiled brat! I give up!" Katsumi released Tsukiko's legs and lied on the ground. "Thank you. I don't understand why we have to go to school." Tsukiko huffed as she crossed her legs on her bed. Katsumi moved her fingers and used the wind to push her sister off the bed, "KATSUMI!"

"Glad to see you out of bed little sister. Now hurry up. The uniform is on the bed." Katsumi giggled. "Can't I just stay with Kisuke?" Tsukiko pouted as she stood up. "Depends, what do I get in return?" Katsumi smirked. "Oh! Oh you! You would take advantage of a blind girl like me?!" Tsukiko replied. "Blind or not, yes I would take advantage of you."

"FINE, have it your way… I'll ummm do your homework for the year." Tsukiko bribed. "Hmmm, fair enough. Even though I was already going to send you to Kisuke."

"Ka… KATSUMI, YOU BITCH!" Tsukiko screamed angrily. "Oh, that's not very Princess like of you." Katsumi teased. Before Tsukiko could reply a knock interrupted her, "Excuse me Princess Katsumi, but if you don't eat now you are going to be late." Kai bowed. "Oh shit that's right. Kai, make sure Kiki gets to Kisuke's safely." Katsumi ran out of her sister's room, sprinted to the table, ate quickly, and dashed out before the others could say another word.

"Well then… Len, could you prepare my bath." Tsukiko cheerfully asked. "Yes, of course." Len replied as he walked past his mistress. "That girl. She's such a handful." Kai sighed. "Don't worry, this is good for her. For us. She just wants to forget the past and move on." Tsukiko smiled softly as she patted Kai's back and walked to the bathroom. "Forget the past? I don't think anyone could forget such a dreadful past like that…" Kai whispered. "Oh well, time to do laundry." Kai straightened up and whistled away.

"Hello, I'm Katsumi Takahashi. Pleasure to meet you all! I hope we can be friends" Katsumi bowed as she greeted her new classmates. "Whoa! She's cute! What do you think she'll say if I ask her out?"

"She'll think you are a creep." Two boys whispered. Katsumi smiled lightly as she took her seat next to an orange headed boy, "Hello, nice to meet you." Katsumi greeted. "Yo, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." He replied. "Ichigo hmm?" He nodded. "Yea, so did you just move here?"

"Yes, I moved here about a week ago. This place has changed so much since the last time I lived here. I get lost way too easily." Katsumi sighed as she placed her head on her hand. "I can show you around if you like." Ichigo offered. She shook her head, "Not today. I have to get home before the movers do. Can we postpone for tomorrow?" Katsumi lied. Of course she had to lie. It wasn't like she could say she lived her 100 years ago before she traveled around the world before she stayed in America. "That's no problem. Just meet me outside the school tomorrow."

"Who do you think you are, bitch?" Minion one growled as Katsumi dropped his leader in a heap on the ground. "I'm the girl who doesn't take shit from guys like you. You ruined a mourning site! You need to fix it!" The group of guys advanced towards her, "Yo." Katsumi turned and saw Ichigo standing a little distance away. "And… Who the hell are you?" One of the minions asked. Ichigo scolded for a moment before responded, "Now listen up you pond scum. Do you see that?" He asked pointing to vase. "First question, what do you think it is? You, the one in the middle. Answer!"

"Wait… You talking to me?" The middle guy asked dumbfounded. "I guess somebody left those flowers for a kid that died here." After he answered Ichigo kicked him. "Correct! Next question." Katsumi took this chance to walk to the scared ghost girl, "Hey, are you alright?"

The ghost girl smiled, "I'm great! Thanks for your concern, but you could have gotten hurt if they attacked you." Katsumi smiled, "It will take a lot more than a few boys to bring me down." She replied confidently. "Plus, I knew someone would have saved me." Katsumi swirled around to see Ichigo standing in front of her. "Thank you for saving me." She bowed. "Don't mention it, but won't the movers beat you home if you stay here."

"Oh shit! I forgot! Bye Ichigo see you tomorrow." Katsumi waved as she ran home. "Strange girl, huh?" Ichigo chuckled. The ghost girl giggled, "I think she is really pretty." Ichigo smiled at the ghost girl before he left for his own home.

"I'm home." Katsumi sighed. "Where HAVE you been?" Kai screeched as he looked at the front door. "I had a little dilemma getting home." Katsumi truthfully said. "Are you ok? You aren't hurt, are you?" Kai worried. "No, no, I'm fine. I'm going to skip dinner, so don't wait for me. Good night." Katsumi announced as she left for her room. "She's avoiding me again." Kai fretted. "No, not you. She must have a lot on her mind. Tea?" Tsukiko asked as she sipped hers. Kai slumped in his chair, "Yes please." Tsukiko reached to pour Kai's tea as she sipped on her own.

"Why are all teens so rebellious?" Kai complained. "Aw, we aren't that bad, are we?" Tsukiko whined. "No, of course not." Kai blushed in embarrassment. "We don't mean to cause you more problems than necessary. I guess that is partially my fault for wanting to be a spy." Tsukiko mumbled. Kai looked bewildered at his mistress, "You can't blame yourself for this."

"If I don't blame myself… Katsumi will continue to resent herself." Tsukiko whispered. "What do you mean?" Tsukiko shook her head. "Oh nothing. Drink up. Your tea will get cold and maybe it's just me, but herbal tea cold is rather gross." Tsukiko smiled lightly. "I have a question, Princess." Kai spoke. "What's up?"

"Do you miss seeing?" Tsukiko stopped and directed her attention to Kai. "Honestly, I miss it more than anything, but if I had the option of my parents and little brother living over my eyesight… I'd rather have them back even if I'm blind." Tsukiko muttered.

Katsumi lied in her bed and curled up, "Rather lose your eyesight than your family dying… Hmmm, I would rather give up my powers if I could see Shinji one last time…" She whispered before she fell asleep.

"Shinji? The Captain of 5th division?" Len murmured as he looked at his mistress and Kai sipping tea. "Mm, we switched places quite frequently, so she could see him." Tsukiko smiled at the memory.

"Kisuke said, Shinji and you are pretty serious." Tsukiko nudged her big sister. Katsumi blushed, "We aren't that serious…" Tsukiko gasped, "You liar. You've been seeing him for more than a year. That guy better purpose to you soon or I'll kill him." Tsukiko threatened. "Shhh! Everyone will hear you!" Katsumi blushed as she hushed her sister.

"A year? Wow… Why am I just now learning this?" Kai whined. "We knew mom and dad wouldn't approve since he wasn't royal, and we knew you would blab to them."

"Oh cruel world, why am I left out in so many things." Kai dramatically cried as he fell to his knees. "Does the world hate me?" Tsukiko shook her head. "Drama Queen." She murmured in her tea. "I agree." Len nodded.

"Hey, did you hear about Ichigo's house?" Classmates gossiped. "I heard a truck crashed into their house. I hope no one was hurt." Some girls whispered. "Ichigo…" Katsumi murmured as she stared outside. She heard a commotion aside her and as she listened she felt an odd spiritual pressure in the room. "Hmm… Odd. Hey Ichigo. I heard about what happened. Are you okay?" She asked as she stared at the girl beside him. "Yea, I'm fine."

"You look familiar?" The girl acknowledged. "Hmm, really? I'm the new girl. I'm Katsumi Takahashi." Katsumi introduced. "Takahashi…" The girl thought as she closed her eyes to remember. "Hmmm, I'm Rukia Kuchiki." She greeted after her failed attempt to remember. A new spiritual pressure began to approach us from a distance, "What's that?" Katsumi whispered as she stared outside. She looked below her and saw Rukia and Ichigo in a Soul Reaper outfit run off. "Ichigo… No way…"

"Hey, Katsumi, am I still showing you around today?" Ichigo asked Katsumi as she exited the school. "Hmm, oh yea! I totally spaced out. Sure that would be great." Katsumi smiled. "But Ichigo, we had that thing to do today. You forgot, didn't you?" Rukia interrupted. "What are you- Whoa! Hey wait a second! Sorry Katsumi, something came up!" Ichigo called out as he was pulled away by Rukia. "Wow a lot of strength in such a little body." Katsumi blinked as she processed what just happened. "Oh, Katsumi, you are still here?"

"Orihime. Oh yea! I had plans with Ichigo, but he ended up cancelling. Where are you going?" Katsumi smiled as she walked with Orihime. "I'm off to get some groceries for dinner. Want to come with me?" Orihime invited. "Sure! I'd be more than happy to."

"Wow! So you've been everywhere?" Orihime gasped. "Well, not Africa. I never had a chance to go." Katsumi bragged. "Wow, so how were you able to afford such travels? Your parents must be rich!" Orihime giggled. "Well they were…" Katsumi stopped walking. "Hmm, something wrong Katsumi?"

"Oh no, it's nothing. Come on we need to cross the street." Katsumi hurried along as Orihime and she walked across. A car sped towards them and Katsumi was the first one to notice, "Move out of the way!" She pushed Orihime out of the way and she jumped over the passing car and gracefully down on her feet. "Are you ok?" She asked as she ran to Orihime. "Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for saving me."

"Orihime!"

"Oh Ichigo! Hey." Orihime smiled. Rukia stared at Katsumi, "Are you okay, Orihime?" Ichigo asked. "Oh, I'm fine. Katsumi saved me." Orihime smiled. "Mm, well I need to go home now. See you at school." Katsumi waved. "Wait, Katsumi." Rukia called. "Yes, Rukia?"

"No, it's nothing never mind." Rukia wavered. "Well then see you later." Katsumi responded before she jogged off.
