Sorry for the wait you guys, I've been having a really hard time trying to write and do my school work and I've been sick for the entire week AND I just got a new puppy and she has yet to be potty trained, AND to top it all off my grandfather was taken off of his respirator on Tuesday and he is no longer with us (R.I.P. pawpaw ) so it's just been hard to find the time but I promise I will do better with no only this story but all my others as well. I should have then all updated by the weekend.

Chapter 7

Ichigo walked though her front door and didn't even bother taking off her shoes. She went straight to her room without even thinking twice. She opened the door and turned on the light…

"Dad!" she screamed. Her entire family came tumbling into her room like someone was trying to break into their house.

"What's the matter with my dearest daughter!" Isshin asked.

"What the hell happened to my room!?" she screamed.

"You're not a boy anymore Ichigo, we figured that you need a girl's room since you were a girl." Karin said.

"Yeah alright, but did you have to make it pink, your guys' room isn't even pink." Ichigo whined.

Karin frowned. "We spent a lot of time remaking your room for you and you don't even appreciate it!"

"Nobody asked you to change anything!" Ichigo fumed.

"You're such a jerk!" Karin screamed. She stomped over to the door. "It's nice to see that some things never change!" she yelled before headed down the hallway to her own room. Ichigo stared at the opened doorway with narrowed eyes before turning his death gaze to his father and other sister.

"I think we should go now." Yuzu said. She quickly grabbed her father's arm and hurried out of the room. Ichigo closed to door behind them and took a second to take in the full extent of the makeover that his room had endured while he was away. All of his walls were no painted a light cream color that complemented the light peach color of his new best sheets and blankets. His bed now held twice as many pillows as it normally did and his closet was stuffed to the brim with cloths. His desk was moved across the room against the opposite awl to make room for the large vanity mirror and chair set.

"This is actually kind nice." She said as she headed over to her bed and threw herself down onto the mountain of pillows on top of it.

'You may have over reacted don't you think?' asked a voice from way in the back of his mind.

"No I didn't over react." Ichigo answered with a roll of her eyes. "They had no right to change my things around like that." She said.

"You know you really didn't have to yell at your sister the way you did. The entire scenario was rather uncalled for." Replied the smooth voice of her zanpakuto spirit, Ichigo rolled her eyes again, Zangetsu never really said much but he was first in line to tell her that she was in the wrong.

"She yelled at me first." Ichigo retorted.

'That still doesn't make you right.' Zangetsu said sternly. Ichigo rolled her eyes again but didn't reply.

'I think that you should apologize to her." he pressed.

"Ugh, fine!" she said with a sigh as she got up from the bed and stomped over to the door. She stomped all the way down the hallway and into Karin and Yuzu's room.

"I'm sorry." She blurted out sharply.

"For what," Karin challenged.

"For yelled at you, I was just shocked, by how pink and girly everything was." she said. "I was wrong."

"I was wrong too." Karin replied in a small voice. She climbed off of her bed and went over to the door. "Now get out of my room." she said with a wicked smiled before she slammed the door right in Ichigo's face. Ichigo just smiled and nodded before he walked away from the door and back to his own room. She didn't even have time to get comfortable in his room before his father was barging in with a handful of papers.

"Ichigo my wonderful daughter, I had to reregister you for school since you technically aren't the same student anymore. He's all your class information." Isshin said as he laid the stack of papers on Ichigo's desk for him to read later. Ichigo's eyes widened with terror, he hadn't even thought about what was going to happen when she returned to school. What was she going to tell all of her friends?

"And don't worry; I've already explained the entire situation to all of your friends and classmates." He added with a wide smile.

Ichigo cringed at the thought. "What did you tell them?" she asked.

"That you were hiking and you fell off the side of a cliff, and when they got you to the hospital they mixed you up with a woman who was going into surgery for extensive cosmetic reconstruction, and that's why you're a woman now."

Ichigo stared at her father with wide eyes. "Couldn't you have thought of something a little more believable?"

"Come on Ichigo, any reason why you suddenly changed genders over the weekend will be certainly be unbelievable. No matter what it is." He said Ichigo nodded.

"You right." She replied.

"Now get some rest, you're going to need you beauty sleep for school tomorrow." He said before he exited the room and slammed the door behind him.

Beauty sleep was right, by the time she woke up in the morning Ichigo wasn't even recognizable.

"Karin!" she screamed from the bathroom. Karin rounded the corner and leaned against the door frame.

"You called?" she asked.

"I need your help." Ichigo whined.

"Move aside." She said as she pushed her way into the bathroom. She sat Ichigo down on the toilet and started with the task of fixing the bush on top of her head. It took some work and a little bit of elbow grease but Karin finally managed to pull the unruly mane back into a neat ponytail. She left Ichigo's bangs to fall over her face and add a more feminine look to the otherwise very masculine girl.

"Why are you wearing pants?" Karin asked.

"Because it's my uniform," she replied.

"Not anymore, you're a girl so you have to dress like one." She said.

After a goof amount of arguing and some pushing and shoving she finally got Ichigo into her uniform skirt. Karin took a step back and admired her handiwork.

"I have to hand it to you Ichigo, you're a lot cuter as I girl than you ever were as a boy." She said with a smile.

"Shut up." Ichigo replied bitterly.

"Well, if you leave now then you only be about ten minutes later to class." Karin said with another smile. Ichigo looked over at the clock on her wall then back over to Karin.

"Dammit, see you later!" she yelled as she grabbed her book bag from the floor and raced out of the house.

Ichigo ran as fast as she could while holding her skirt down at the same time. Karin was right she was already more the 15 minutes late by the time she arrived because she forced herself to stop running every time she passed a group of boy. She didn't want to risk her skirt flying up and them possibly seeing her butt of something.

She knocked on the closed door of her classroom and waited for someone to answer.

"Hmmm, your father was right. You're a lot easier to look at now." she said bluntly. Ichigo frowned. She stepped aside to give her room to walk in through the door.

"Come on in Kurosaki, better late than never." She said. Ichigo walked into the room and immediately felt chills running down her spine. Everyone in the entire class was looking at them.

"Is that…."

"Kurosaki-Ku…I mean chan….Kurosaki-chan." Said a familiar voice from the back of the classroom, Ichigo turned to see all of his friends sitting in a little group in the back of the classroom.

"Hello Orihime." She said politely.

"So he really is a girl now" Ishida said.

"Your hair is so pretty!" Orihime said cheerfully. She sprang from her seat and galloped to the front of the classroom to meet Ichigo.

"Uh, thanks Inoue." She said with a smile.

"Come on, we saved you your regular seat. You have to tell us all about your accident." She said. She and the rest of his friends gave Ichigo a knowing glance before they walked headed back to their seats.
