A New World I Never Noticed Ch.35 (Extra Chapter 3)
Note: As I stated before these are short stories are what happened before the story (BS), in-between events (BE), during the week without fighting (WF), and some just made up for comedic purposes (CP).
Story (BE) #1: Ichigo's first day at Fuka Academy
Ichigo looks around the infirmary
Ichigo: (This place is quite fancy. They told me this is an academy.)
Ichigo stands up and looks out the window
Ichigo notices students wearing different types of uniforms
Ichigo: (Some of the uniforms are different too. This must be one of those academies that combine different grade levels.)
Natsuki walks into the room
Ichigo notices her
Natsuki: So you're Ichigo Kurosaki?
Ichigo: Yes. How are you? Are you with the other who sees me like this as well?
Natsuki: Mai told me you not normal.
Ichigo: (Not normal? What's so "not normal" about me?)
Natsuki: Anyway, I would like to ask you something.
Ichigo: Yes?
Natsuki: Have you ever heard of the Searrs Foundation?
Ichigo: Never heard of them. Are you looking for them?
Natsuki: It's not important if you don't know. Sorry to have bother you.
Natsuki leaves the room
Ichigo: (What was that all about? What exactly is this "Searrs Foundation"?)
An hour later
Ichigo walks slowly around the room
Ichigo: (Damn I'm so bored. Why did they tell me to stay in here? It's not like this entire academy is filled with people who can see, might as well look around.)
Ichigo puts his Shinigami uniform on and leaves the room
Saki watches Ichigo from afar
Ichigo walks around
Ichigo: (This place is a lot bigger than I thought. I can't even remember where the infirmary is.)
Ichigo notices Yuichi Tate talking with Masashi Takeda
Tate: I keep telling you that I'm not coming back!
Masashi: Come on, man! We need you more than ever, the finals are coming!
Tate: Then ask someone else to do it! I'm tired of Kendo!
Masashi: Who else can fight like you!
Ichigo: (I better leave.)
Tate: Hey, you!
Ichigo: Huh? Me?
Tate: Yes, you. Do you know Kendo?
Ichigo: What? Wait a second, you can see me?
Masashi: Telling by his voice, I can tell he doesn't know a thing about Kendo.
Ichigo: What was that? Just so you know I can fight pretty well with or without a sword.
Tate: Then you don't mind sparring with him?
Ichigo: Wait. I didn't say…
Masashi: Alright, then! It's a challenge!
Ichigo: (I should've stayed inside the infirmary.)
Inside the academy dojo
Ichigo: (How did I get into this?)
Ichigo puts on a Bogu
Tate: Alright, now that you're equipped… um…
Ichigo: Ichigo Kurosaki.
Tate: Right, now that you're equipped Ichigo, we can begin the challenge.
Ichigo: Can I ask you something?
Tate: Huh?
Ichigo: Why don't you want to join the Kendo club again? You seemed pretty mad when that other guy asked you.
Tate: It's nothing worth mentioning. I'm just bored with it.
Ichigo: Never mind I asked, but I'm not going to join the Kendo club once I win this thing though.
Tate: Why is that?
Ichigo: I don't go to this school and, like you, not very interested in joining the club anyway.
Tate: Wait if you don't go here, then why are you here?
Ichigo: Um… It's kind of my job to… go around places… and um… I can't really explain.
Tate: Anyway, we should begin. Masashi, are you ready?
Scene changes to the changing room
Saki knocks Masashi out
Saki: Sorry, I need to borrow you're equipment for awhile.
Saki walks out of the changing room in a Bogu
Ichigo and Tate stare at him confused
Saki puts his hand over his mouth and imitates Masashi's voice
Saki: Well, aren't we going to start?
Ichigo: Is it me or has he gotten shorter?
Tate: Why is he putting his hand over his mouth?
A minute later
Ichigo prepares himself
Ichigo: (I need to go easy on him. I'm still in my Shinigami form.)
Saki grabs to two wooden swords
Tate: Huh? Since when have you used two swords, Masashi?
Saki: I'm going easy on this guy, so I'm trying something new.
Tate: I guess that makes sense.
Saki prepares himself
Tate: Begin!
Ichigo and Saki circle around each other
Saki strikes
Ichigo blocks the strike and prepares to counterattack
Saki steps back quickly
Ichigo: (He's fast. I better not underestimate him.)
Saki moves left and right swaying
Ichigo: (What is he planning?)
Tate realizes something
Tate: (I know that move!)
Saki prepares to strike
Ichigo prepares to block the strike
Saki sways to the other side quickly
Ichigo steps back
Saki continues to charge at Ichigo
Ichigo: (He's movements are unclear! I can't be sure if he going to attack with his left or right!)
Saki moves Ichigo
Ichigo: (Damn!)
Ichigo strikes
Saki dodges the strike and strikes Ichigo's head
Tate: 1 point!
Ichigo is shocked
Ichigo: (He's a lot more skillful than I thought. He's going to be a tough one.)
Saki smiles and prepares to strike
Ichigo and Tate are shocked
Ichigo is shocked
Ichigo: What the hell? We're supposed to go back in position!
Saki: Sorry, but I'm quite bored with the entire rules thing. It's too easy for me, so how about we break those rules?
Saki charges at Ichigo
Ichigo blocks Saki's strikes
Saki jumps around the field and continues to attack Ichigo
Ichigo: (What the hell? He not normal at all! He's moving too quickly!)
Saki prepares to strike
Ichigo jumps up in the air and prepares to strike downwards
Saki prepares to strike upwards
Reito Kanzaki appears and blocks both strikes with a wooden sword
Ichigo, Tate, and Saki are shocked
Reito: What's going on here? I'm sure you're not Masashi, so who are you?
Saki: Um…
Saki disappears
Ichigo: He's gone?
Tate: Who was that guy?
Masashi walks into the room
Masashi: What's going on here?
Tate: Masashi! What happened to you?
Masashi: I don't know. One moment I was changing, the next minute I woke up and my head was ringing.
Reito: I suggest someone knocked you unconscious and challenge this guy to fight.
Masashi: Seriously?
Ichigo: But who was he?
Reito: That I do not know. I have just arrived here. But, who are you?
Ichigo: Ichigo Kurosaki, I'm from Kurakura High School.
Reito: Kurakura? I heard of that place before, it's not that far from here. Anyway, I'm Reito Kanzaki, Vice President of the Student Council.
Tate: Reito, should we search for the guy?
Reito: No, I don't think he'll show himself for a while, although this isn't the first time I have felt his presence.
Ichigo: You can sense spirits?
Tate, Masashi, and Reito stare at Ichigo
Ichigo: I mean… oh look at the time! I have to go!
Ichigo runs off
Reito: He seems quite energetic.
Tate: There's something about him I can't understand.
Masashi: I don't understand anything.
Scene changes to the Infirmary
Ichigo walks in and lies in the bed
Ichigo: (It's better if I just sit here. I don't know what's going on, but it's better if I don't get involved.)
Ichigo notices Midori staring at him
Ichigo is shocked and falls out of the bed
Midori: Are you alright?
Ichigo rises from the ground
Ichigo: How are you? You scared me half to death!
Midori: But, how can a Shinigami die?
Ichigo: Huh? How do you know who I am?
Midori: Natsuki told me about you. I never thought I meet a Shinigami so easily.
Ichigo: What?
Midori grabs Ichigo
Midori: You have to tell me everything about the Shinigami! The history, the study, the reason, everything!
Ichigo: What?
Midori: I have done my research and found out that you Shinigami are related to the Grim Reaper, if not him in another form! I must find out more information! This is a scientific breakthrough! An absolutely wonderful discovery of a lifetime!
Ichigo: Wait a minute! I don't really know if I can…
Midori summons her element and stabs the ground
Midori: Oh, you're going to tell me. If you don't, I'll just beat it out of you!
Ichigo: How did get into the mess!
Natsuki smiles to herself from outside
Saki smiles to himself from a farther location
Natsuki and Saki: Just as planned.
End of story
Story (BE) #2: Ichigo's second day at Fuka Academy
Ichigo slowly wakes up
Ichigo notices Mikoto staring at him
Ichigo returns to sleep
Mikoto: Hey, big guy!
Ichigo: What do you what? It's still early in the morning!
Mikoto: Mai said she wanted to show you around and said you'll buy me something to eat!
Ichigo: What? Since when did say that?
Mikoto: You have 30 minutes to get ready. Bye!
Mikoto runs away
Ichigo is dumbfounded
Scene changes to Mai walking outside carrying a box
Ichigo walks up to her
Mai: Oh, good morning, Ichigo.
Ichigo: Morning. You wanted to see me?
Mai: Huh? I did?
Ichigo: Yeah. Mikoto said something about you wanting to show around the city or something.
Mai: I don't remember ever saying that, but I think she was trying to trick you into buying her food.
Ichigo: What? Why that little…
Mai: Don't worry about it. Anyway, you should return to the infirmary. You're still hurt, right?
Ichigo: The wound is healing quickly, but it only stings a bit, so I should be fine.
Mai: Ok. Catch you later.
Ichigo: Here, let me carry that for you.
Mai: It's not that heavy…
Ichigo takes the box
Ichigo: So where are we going?
Mai: (So forceful.) The library, the librarian asked me to take these books over there.
Ichigo: Alright! I think I know where that is.
Mai: Since when did you have time to look around?
Ichigo is silent
Mai hits Ichigo
Ichigo: Ow! What was that for?
Mai: Idiot! You shouldn't be walking around when you're wounded! And you used Mikoto as an excuse just so you wouldn't get caught! You terrible, Ichigo! Now lets go, you have to carry the boxes by yourself!
Ichigo: Boxes? So this isn't the only one? How dare you trick me!
An hour later
Ichigo: (My back…)
Mai stares at Ichigo
Ichigo: What?
Mai: Nothing!
Mai walks away
Ichigo: (What a weird girl…)
Scene changes to the Searrs Foundation Headquarters
Alexander walks into a room
Saki notices him
Saki: Hey, brother!
Saki walks up to Alexander
Alexander: Oh, hey, Saki. What are you doing?
Saki: I'm making a robotic arrancar.
Alexander notices a large arrancar with messy black hair with symbols resembling questions marks around its entire body
Alexander: What the hell? You made this?
Saki: Creepy isn't it? I'm making it to test Ichigo Kurosaki and Mai Tokiha.
Alexander: Couldn't you just ask me to do it? I don't mind picking a fight.
Saki: Nah, if you show up then our cover would be blown. This way Ichigo might think Aizen is up something and stay in Fuka Academy.
Alexander: Damn, that's a good plan. You really think things through.
Saki: Now, U-990, awaken!
The robotic arrancar activates and stands up
U-990: Yes, master.
Saki: I want you to go to Fuka Academy and fight Ichigo Kurosaki and Mai Tokiha, only those two, nobody else.
U-990: Yes, master.
U-990 disappears
Alexander: Why don't you just tell it to wreak havoc around the school? That will surely drive them to fight it more seriously.
Saki: No. I don't want anybody else involve in this. The Soul Society will notice it if it does.
Alexander stares at Saki
Saki: (I don't want anybody to get hurt. I have to force Ichigo to stay in Fuka at a little bit longer. Please, don't do anything reckless U-990.)
Scene changes back to Fuka Academy
U-990 walks around
U-990: Ichigo Kurosaki… Mai Tokiha… Must find them…
Natsuki tends to her motorcycle
Natsuki: I can't believe my motorcycle broken down. I'm going to give that guy a beating for lying to me…
Natsuki senses something
Natsuki: What is that…?
Mai walks around
Mai: (That idiot. How can he be so arrogant and still lie about his injury?)
Mai remembers the incident
Mai: (Then again… he seemed pretty normal about. I wonder if he does this sort of thing all the time.)
Mai thinks about Ichigo and blushes
Mai: (What I'm I thinking about? I shouldn't care what he does! I don't care! I just have to ignore him that's all…)
Mai knocks into U-990
Mai: Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going…
U-990 looks down
Mai is shocked
U-990: HiME…
Mai: (What the hell is this thing? This looks nothing like an Orphan.)
U-990 examines Mai
U-990: Mai Tokiha… I have found the target…
Mai steps back and summons her element
U-990 looks at Mai
Mai: (What is it doing? It's not attacking, is it about to do something?)
U-990 stares at Mai's chest
U-990: C… D…
Mai: Huh?
U-990 smirks perversely
U-990 charges at Mai
Mai runs away
U-990: Boobs!
Mai: Someone help me!
Alexander and Saki watch from a camera inside U-990
Alexander: What on earth is it doing?
Saki: I do not know.
Katherine walks in
Katherine: What are you two doing?
Katherine looks at the screen
Katherine: Are you two watching a dirty movie?
Alexander and Saki: Don't be ridiculous!
Nero walks in and looks at the screen
Nero is shocked and falls to his knees
Nero's nose bleeds
Nero: Please… give me a copy…
Saki: No way, you sick bastard!
Alexander: This is getting out of control.
Scene changes to Ichigo
Ichigo: (I should go back to the infirmary. Those heavy boxes really did a number on my back.)
Ichigo notices Mai running away from U-990
Ichigo: What the hell?
U-990: I got you!
Ichigo kicks U-990
Mai: Ichigo!
Ichigo: You alright?
U-990: Ichigo Kurosaki? I have found both targets.
Ichigo: This guy must be an arrancar. Mai, you should go I'll handle him.
Mai: What are you talking about?
Ichigo: I know you've been in plenty of fights before, but this guy…
Mai: You don't have your sword.
Ichigo: Huh?
Ichigo remembers
Ichigo: Ah, crap! I left it in the infirmary!
U-990: Unable to fight? Not my problem. I fight either way.
U-990 charges at them

U-990 screams in pain
Natsuki rides to Ichigo and Mai
Natsuki: Need some help, Mai?
Mai: Natsuki, there you are!
Ichigo: You're that girl I saw yesterday.
Natsuki: Oh, you're that moocher who's staying her right?
Ichigo: What did you just say?
U-990: You are an intruder. Leave now or be annihilated.
Natsuki: What the hell is that thing?
Mai: Natsuki, take Ichigo to the infirmary so he can grab his weapon.
Natsuki: Weapon? Who are you anyway?
Ichigo: It doesn't matter right now! Just take me to the infirmary!
Mikoto: Hey!
Ichigo, Mai, and Natsuki notice Mikoto on the roof
Mikoto: Don't worry Mai, Natsuki, and big guy! I'm coming!
Ichigo: (She's talking to me, right?)
Mikoto jumps down from the roof and lands on U-990's head
U-990: What?

Natsuki: (This thing isn't playing around. I have to end this.)
Natsuki summons Duran

U-990 is unaffected by it
Natsuki: (What the…)
U-990 jumps up in the air and prepares to attack
Ichigo stops the attack
U-990 throws Ichigo to the ground and charges at him

Ichigo: Thanks for taking care of me, but I have to return home.
Ichigo bows and walks away
Mai: Wait! Ichigo…
Ichigo faints and falls to the ground
A few minutes later
Ichigo wakes up in the infirmary
Mashiro: You're awake once again, Ichigo Kurosaki.
Ichigo: I fainted again?
Mashiro: Yes, luckily Mai and the others brought you back.
Ichigo: Really? I should thank them later.
Mai: I'm right here.
Ichigo: Oh, there you are. Thanks.
Mai: Just be quiet and heal.
Ichigo: Huh? What's wrong with you now?
Mai: You idiot. Why do you keep pushing yourself so hard?
Ichigo: What do you mean why? It's called fighting. I'm supposed to give it my all.
Mai: But, why? Why are you risking yourself for us?
Ichigo: I don't really know myself. Guess I'm just grateful for what you done for me.
Mai: Have I really done something that's worth your life!
Ichigo stares at Mai
Ichigo: Sorry, I don't know how to answer that. But I do know I can't protect everyone. But I will protect as many people as I can no matter what. That's the reason why I decided to become a Shinigami.
Mai stares at Ichigo
Ichigo: I'm still leaving though. I have to protect my family and my friends back in Kurakura Town.
Fumi: At least stay for tomorrow. You have to heal both your new and old wounds.
Ichigo: Right, I'll do that.
Mai: Sorry, I didn't know.
Ichigo: It's alright. Just forget about it. I already did.
Mai smiles
Scene changes to the Searrs Foundation Headquarters
Alexander: Well that was exciting. But I hope we can analyze the data from the footage we took.
Saki: It's impossible. Ichigo destroyed the tape along with U-990.
Katherine: That means you have to collect data from him in person.
Saki: Let's not do that yet until it's time.
Katherine: But…
Saki: Katherine. This is my project, so I decided when we strike. Don't interfere.
Katherine glares at Saki
Katherine: You better get this done, boy.
Katherine walks away
Alexander: Saki, why did you…
Saki: I'm going to Fuka Academy. Don't except me to return for a while.
Saki opens a void and leaves
Alexander: Saki…
Saki: (I have to act soon. I have to stop Katherine's plans and save them!)
