The girls arrive at their hidden classroom as they told Kiriya what happened yesterday at the shopping district.
"What?" Kiriya said, looking a bit surprised.
"It's true, Kiriya-sensei. We were attacked by an enemy at the shopping district." Ikaruga said with a serious expression on her face.
"Yeah, plus we couldn't even sense them when we are there. Not to mention see their attack." Katsuragi said, causing Kiriya to be even more shocked.
"This is the most troublesome... To think that there is someone like that among their rank. Regardless, we must prepare ourselves so it won't happen again.: Kiriya said with a serious expression on his face.
"Hai, Kiriya-sensei!" The girls shouted as Kiriya look at Asuka.
"Is there something on your mind, Asuka?" Kiriya asked, causing her to look at him.
"Huh? It's nothing, Kiriya-sensei." Asuka said, trying to avoid the topic.
"Asuka." Kiriya stares at her, causing Asuka to let out a sigh, knowing she can't lie her way out.
"It just that... I felt someone touch me when that attack happened yesterday."
"Someone touches you?"
"Hai, I don't know how to put it. But I felt an arm wrap around me and drag me to the ground when that attack happens. The strange part is that I couldn't see the person when they save me."
"Is that so..." Kiriya said as this information is completely new to him.
"Is something the matter, Kiriya-sensei?" Ikaruga asked.
"It's nothing. But we need to double our training in case the invisible enemy plan to attack again. So, prepare yourselves." Kiriya said.
"Hai, sensei."
As the six discuss what they should do next, the girls are dismissed as they leave the hidden room. Kiriya is all by himself, taking the new information the girls have told him.
'The invisible enemy... Could it be a Yoma? No, even if it is. They usually show their appearance rather than being invisible. Still, I should inform Hanzo-sama about this.' Kiriya thought.
-with Ichigo-
Ichigo walking down the hall as he heads to his classroom. He let out a yawn of he was patrolling the street in the middle of the night while hunting down Hollows and helping lost souls passed on to the Soul Society. It's nothing new to him as it's pretty much just his daily routine. He found his classroom as he knocks on the door, revealing Kiriya, who looks at Ichigo.
"Ah, Kurosaki Ichigo. I have been expecting you. Please come on in." Kiriya said as they walk into the room. "Can I have your attention, please!" The students quiet down as they look forward, including Asuka, who is sitting by the window. She is quite surprised to see Ichigo in the same class as her. "We have a new student to join us today. Can you introduce yourself?"
-Play Bleach oh so tired-
Ichigo turn around to the chalkboard and write his name on it before facing his class to introduce himself, placing his hand in his pocket, and his usual scowl looks on his face. "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo. I'm not much for formalities, so Ichigo is fine. It's nice to meet you all." Ichigo introduced himself. While he already didn't really care for any of his classmates, he REALLY didn't care for unnecessary problems. It's why he might as well make a first impression.
This causes the students to murmur to his introduction.
"He looks like a delinquent."
"Why did he enter this school?"
"He seems nice, though."
"He looks hot."
"I wonder if he's single."
"I don't want to be anywhere near that guy."
"Settle down, everyone. Anyway, you will be sitting next to Asuka." Kiriya said, causing Ichigo to nod as he already knows about this person. "Asuka, can you raise your hand, please."
Ichigo was sent to his desk and sat on his seat to place his bag on the side. "Nice to see you again, Asuka," Ichigo said to her.
"Yeah, you too," Asuka said with a smile.
"Alright, let's start our lesson," Kiriya said, beginning the lesson. Ichigo is paying attention to Kiriya's lesson, writing down notes as he heard a couple of students talking about them.
"Did you see them talking to each other?" One of the students whispered toward the two behind him.
"Since when did they know each other?"
"Damn it! I'm so jealous!"
"How can a delinquent like him get so close to a cute girl like her? It's so not far..."
Ichigo let out an irritated sigh as he heard the three talking about them, causing Asuka to slightly chuckle.
-End play Bleach Oh, so tired. After school-
Ichigo zipped up his bag as the final day of the bell rang. Students quickly filled out of the classroom in small groups, discussing. The entire class makes sure to steer clear of him, either completely ignoring him or try to stay out of his way. Either way, he really doesn't care what others think about him. He slung his bag over his shoulder and head to the door.
"Bye, Ichigo-kun." Asuka said.
"See you later, Asuka," Ichigo said as he watches her leave the room.
Asuka makes her way to the old school building and enters the hidden classroom when she sees all her friends ready for training.
"Morning, guys," Asuka said, greeting them with a smile.
"Morning Asuka," Hibari said with a smile.
"Where is Kiriya-sensei?" Asuka asked, looking around for their teacher.
"He is setting up for our training when we are facing against the invisible enemy again," Ikaruga answered.
"I see..." Asuka said as they remember when they were attacked at the shopping district, and she was saved. Since then, she was wondering who attack them and who saves her.
"The next time we're attacked by them again. We'll be ready." Katsuragi said, cracking her knuckles.
"I hope so. That attack really takes us by surprise." Asuka said, not wanting to make the same mistake again. 'I won't let this happen again. I'm still walking on the path of a true Shinobi.' Then her thought was cut off when a smoke puff appears in the room catching the girls by surprise as it reveals Kiriya with a serious expression on his face.
"Is everyone here?" Kiriya asked, causing the rest of the girls to nod. "Good, now we can begin your training since you girls were attacked yesterday. We will be working on your scenes so you girls won't get attack gain. Do I make myself clear?"
"Hai, Kiriya-sensei."
"Good, now everyone gets change. I'll meet you in the training room." Kiriya said as he disappears in a puff of smoke, causing the girls to cough.
-later-
"Man, I wish Kiriya-sensei would stop doing that," Katsuragi said, taking off her uniform.
"It can't be helped. Apparently, it's his obsession with being a shinobi." Ikaruga said.
While they discuss Kiriya's disappearing act, Asuka thinks about what happened at the shopping district yesterday. Since yesterday, she has been thinking about it as she and her friends have no idea what happened during that attack? They have been looking around for anyone with suspicious behavior when they were suddenly attacked.
For a split second, she felt someone push her down when that attack going to happen. She doesn't know who had saved her, but she is grateful for whoever that person that saves her.
'I wonder who save me from that attack.' Asuka thought when she was suddenly groped behind by Katsuragi.
"What are you spacing out for, Asuka?" Katsuragi said with a perverted smile.
"Stop it, Kat-nee!" Asuka cried.
-with Ichigo-
Ichigo walking down the street as he is eating a yakisoba pan. He has been looking around town, searching for clues on where the anomalies are and why the Hollows are attracted to Asakusa. From the report that the Soul Society have given him.
First is the sudden appearance of the strange Reiryoku that appear in Asakusa about a few months ago. Second is the sudden disappearance and reappearance of the strange Reiryoku as if some sort of barrier blocks them. And finally, is the large number of Hollows that seem to be coming here.
He has no idea why the Hollows are so interested in this place, but that doesn't stop him of doing his job as a Shinigami. Ichigo finishes his yakisoba pan when someone bumps right into him. He looks down and saw a girl with pink hair landed on her butt.
"Ow, ow, ow..." Hibari said patted her butt.
"Sorry about that. I should watch where I was going." Ichigo said.
"No, it's my fault... I'm sorry, I'm such a dunce..." She said as tears start coming out of her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry! Look, is there something I can do to help you? Feel free to ask."
"Really...?"
"Of course, I never back down on a promise." This got her to stop crying as Ichigo extended his hand at her. She grabbed it and got back on her free when Ichigo pulls her up. "By the way. I haven't got your name."
"It's Hibari," Hibari replied with a smile.
"Kurosaki Ichigo." Hibari let out a giggle causing Ichigo to be confused. "What's so funny?"
"It's nothing. It's just that you have such a cute name, Ichigo-kun." This cause a tick mark to appear on his forehead.
"My name isn't cute! Ichigo stands for he who protect!" Hibari then let out a small laugh as Ichigo made such a comical expression on his face. "Well, that one way to cheer you up. By the way, what are you doing here all by yourself?"
"Umm..."
-flashback. Play Bleach Head in the clouds-
"Before you all leave. Does everyone remember the lesson of the Secret Ninja Arts?" Kiriya asked.
Secret Ninja Arts, also known as summoning ninja arts. A secret shinobi technique exhibits a paranormal power by embodying a creature imagined within the mind.
"Let's see... 'In order to surpass one's own limit, one must call upon the power of nature itself. That's what it means to be a shinobi.'" Asuka replied with a smile.
"Correct, as you all know. Nature empowers your Secret Ninja Arts. To use these abilities, your Ninja Arts Scroll must be at hand. Keep it on your person at all times." Kiriya said.
"I keep mine under my skirt!" Katsuragi said with a smile.
"Mine's in my cleavage!" Asuka said with a smile, causing Katsuragi to look at her.
"Huh? Cleavage? You've got my attention. Lemme see how well it's hidden!" Katsuragi said with a perverted grin as she went into her groping position.
"Katsu-nee... C-cut it out!" Asuka panicked as she covers her breast.
"Heh heh heh... It's fine! Don't worry! It won't take a minute!" Katsuragi said with a smile.
"Katsuragi, please refrain from inappropriate touching in class." Kiriya scolds, causing Katsuragi to frown. "Continue, Asuka."
"Yes, sir. 'The Super-Secret Ninja Art. As the name implies, it's a stronger form of Ninja Art.' That all it's said when I read it." Asuka said, titled her head.
"And why would that be all it's said? There's a reason for that. It's because the Super-Secret Ninja Art Scroll is the pride and joy of our school, and its contents must be kept an absolute secret."
"Huh... I wonder what it said. I hope I get to read it someday." Asuka said with interest.
"That is all for today. Dismissed." Kiriya said as he leaves the room.
"Shall we get going? I'm sure we all have something to do." Ikaruga said.
"Alright," Asuka said as they leave the room one by one. Yagyu stops at the door and turn her head around to see Hibari standing there.
"Is there something wrong, Hibari?" Yagyu asked.
"Oh uh... It's nothing, Yagyu-chan." Hibari said with a smile.
"Okay, if you said so." Yagyu left the room, leaving Hibari to herself as she fell onto her hands and knees with a dark aura around her and a light shining on top of her.
'I dropped my Ninja scroll somewhere...' Hibari thought in despair.
-flashback end. End Bleach Head in the clouds-
"I lost something very important. If I don't find it soon, my sensei is going to kill me." Hibari said.
"Do you remember where it is?"
"I remember dropping somewhere in the shopping district."
"Do you remember what it looks like?" This cause Hibari to be a little hesitant to tell Ichigo, as a rule, to not involve civilians in the shinobi world. Ichigo says she was a little hesitant as he gave her a gentle smile, telling her that she can trust him. "I can't help you if you don't tell me what it looks like."
Ichigo's gentle smile was enough to convince her as she knows that he is a good person. But thought long and hard as she didn't say anything related to the shinobi world, she'll be fine. "It's a pinkish scroll, Ichigo-kun."
"A scroll? Are you trying to become a Miko or something?" This cause Hibari to let out a cute giggle as she looks at him with a smile.
"Something like that," Hibari said as they are walking down the street, looking around the place for her scroll. They talk for a bit as she laughed a bit when Ichigo told her about the time he did back in Karakura town before coming here. At first, she was quite scared of him due to his delinquent-like appearance. But after getting to know him a bit, he's actually a nice guy.
They stop when they saw a group of delinquents talking. "Hey, boss. Look what we found!" One of the delinquents said, holding something in his hand, causing Hibari to widen her eyes.
"Ah! That's...!"
"That's your scroll, right?" Ichigo asked, causing her to nod.
"It is. I recognized my scroll anywhere." Hibari confirmed.
"Alright, Hibari. Stay here. I'll go get your scroll back."
"Eh? Wait, Ichigo-kun! You don't need to go alone!"
"Trust me, Hibari. I can deal with a couple of punks." Ichigo said, leaving a concerned Hibari to herself.
"Ichigo-kun..." Hibari whispered in concern.
"So, what you want us to do with this, boss?" His lackey asked.
"We should sell it." Their boss said with a greedy grin.
"Hey!" Ichigo called, causing them to turn their head toward him. "That scroll doesn't belong to you guys. It's belonged to someone else."
"Oh yeah? Well, too bad! Finder keeper, pal!"
"I wasn't asking you," Ichigo said, cracking his knuckles. "You either hand over that scroll, or I'll take it back by force."
"Oh yeah? Say who, asshole! We have you outnumbered three to one!" One of the delinquents shouted.
"I can deal with a couple of idiots like yourselves," Ichigo said with a smirk.
-play Bleach pleasure of combat-
"Ok, that's it!" One of the delinquents have enough as he is about to punch Ichigo in the face. But Ichigo dodges it and punches him right in the guts causing him to fall to the ground.
"You son of a bitch!" When one of them is about to attack him. Ichigo kicks him in the chin, and then side kicks him, sending him to a pile of trash. A guy got behind him and was about to punch Ichigo behind his head. But he ducks underneath his punch grabs his arm, and judo throws him to the ground.
Ichigo saw one of the guys tried to kick him in the head, but he dodges it and punches the guy in the face, knocking a few of his teeth out and sending him to the ground. One of them rushes in a while, holding a metal bat as he tried to hit Ichigo in the head, but he dodges it and grabs his wrist as Ichigo then uppercuts him in the chin.
Two guys came rushing toward Ichigo as they tried to overwhelm them. But Ichigo have experience with these kinds type of fightback in Karakura. This is nothing new to him. They attack him all at once as Ichigo dodge all of their attacks. When Ichigo parries one of their attacks and hits him in the chin as he falls to the ground. He then ducks when one of them is about to kick him in the head as Ichigo sweep kick his leg, causing him to fell on the ground and kick him in the stomach.
The group leader is starting to sweat as his entire group is taken out by one guy. 'Just what the hell is he?' He thought as he took a step back when Ichigo shot him an intimidating glare.
"Last chance... Give me that scroll or else." Ichigo said.
He is shaking in fear as he doesn't want to get beat up by this guy. But his pride won't allow him as he pulls out a knife and charges at Ichigo. But he was prepared for this as he kicks the knife out of his hand and punches him in the face as he slid on the ground. He walks over to them and picks up the pink scroll before given them one last glare. "Next time, don't steal someone else stuff," Ichigo said.
-End Bleach Pleasure of combat-
"Who the hell are you...?" The boss asked in pain.
"Hey, want of minute...? That guy is Kurosaki Ichigo...!" One of his lackeys shouted in shock and fear.
"You know him?" This cause his lackey to nod as he shaking in fear.
"One of my friends living in Karakura Town sends me a text that he and his gang got beat up by a tall guy named Chad and an orange spiky hair name Kurosaki Ichigo. This guy is him!" He shouted pointed his finger in fear.
"Nani?!" They shouted as they look at Ichigo in fear.
"I'm guessing that my reputation reaches to Asakusa now," Ichigo said, turning his head toward them. He sends them one last glare causing a shiver down their spine. "If I caught you guys stealing again, I'll make sure to break every bone in your body!" This cause them to let out a scream as they got up on their feet and screaming sorry over and over again. Ichigo let out a sigh and walk over toward Hibari, who looks surprised at Ichigo's combat skill. "Here your scroll back, Hibari."
"Thank you, Ichigo-kun," Hibari said, taking her scroll and look at him with a glee look in her eyes. "That was amazing! Where did you learn how to fight like that?"
"I have gotten a lot of fights back in Karakura town," Ichigo replied, rubbing the back of his head. "Make sure you don't lose it next time. You don't know what kind of people would do something."
"Ok, Ichigo-kun! I won't lose it next time!" Hibari said with a smile as Ichigo let out a small chuckle. Seeing her act like this reminds Ichigo of his sister, Yuzu, when she was younger. It was then Ichigo's Shinigami badge starting to activate, alerting him about a Hollow nearby.
'A Hollow!' Ichigo thought, which cause Hibari to look at him.
"What's wrong, Ichigo-kun?" Hibari asked, confused why Ichigo look so alarmed.
"It's nothing. See ya at school, Hibari." Ichigo said, leaving her.
"Bye, Ichigo-kun!" Hibari said, waving her hand toward him. "I wonder what's going on with him? Ah! I need to get back with the other before they get too suspicious!" She left in a hurry as she tried to get back home as soon as possible.
-with Ichigo-
As Ichigo was far away from Hibari, he found himself in a secluded spot to exit his body. Ichigo pulls out a dispenser with a rabbit on it. It was a Chappy the mod souls that she likes so much, and she figured it would help him in case of emergency. One of the few advantages he could think of was he didn't need to leave his body where it could get injured or let alone killed...that would prove very complicated if it happens. Another advantage he could think of was it served as an alternative option other than his Shinigami badge to do his job. The only problem is how the Chappy mod souls talk when entering the body, speaking in a weird and childish tone. But at least he wouldn't need that pervert stuff lion, Kon with him. Seriously, that little pervert bastard had done enough damage to his reputation already when he was in his body, and he didn't need to add more when he is in Asakusa!
He popped a green pill in his mouth, and his soul exits his body. "I want you to get out of here and wait for me in the dorm at Hanzo Academy, understand?"
"I understand, Ichigo-dono! Hop!" Ichigo felt his eyebrow twitch as he resists the urge to facepalm his forehead. He better not ruin his reputation just like Kon did! He watches his body leave as he is heading toward Hanzo Academy, causing him to let out a sigh.
"He better not cause any trouble for me at school..." Ichigo sigh.
Ichigo left as he heading toward where the Hollow is located. He arrives to see a Hollow chasing after a little boy. "Help me!" The boy scream causing Ichigo to rush in to save him.
When the Hollow was about to grab him, Ichigo slice off its arm, causing it to scream and disappear. He turn his attention toward the boy as he places his hand on top of his head. "Are you alright?" Ichigo asked, causing the boy to nod when they heard a roar as the Hollow returned with some reinforcement. "Find somewhere to hide, kid." The boy nod as he runs away, causing the Hollow to charge toward the orange hair Shinigami. As one of the Hollow is about to attack him, Ichigo dodge and cuts its arm, causing it to scream as he finishes it off with a slash to the head, killing it. Ichigo jumps away when two of the Hollow flying above him are shooting at him as he sends out a blue beam of energy at them, vaporizing them.
He turn around to see a Hollow charging at him as it is about to hit him with its fist. But Ichigo dodges its attack and charge at him as he cut it down with his Zanpakuto. He heard a scream as he turn around to see the Hollow about to devour the boy as Ichigo appear in front of the boy by Shunpo and stab the Hollow in the head. He pulls out Zangetsu causing the Hollow to fall onto the ground and disintegrate into reishi. Ichigo turns around to see the boy crying on the ground as he was almost devoured by a Hollow. "Hey, kid. You're alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine..." The ghost boy replied as Ichigo kneels to his level.
"Kid, if you don't want to go through like that again. You better hurried up and passed on." Ichigo said as he taps the pommel of his sword onto the boy's forehead, performing a Konso on him, causing the boy to glows and sink into the ground as a Hell Butterfly takes his place. It flies in the air causing Ichigo to let out a smile. "Now to go on a partol to see if there is any more Hollow."
-with Hibari-
Hibari made it back to the Hanzo Shinobi's resident as she opens the door to reveal Asuka. "There you are, Hibari-chan. You've been gone for quite a while. Where have you been?" Asuka asked, causing Hibari to be nervous.
"I was getting some sweet." Hibari lied, causing Asuka to cross her arms under her breast.
"Hibari-chan." Hibari looks down as she knew she can't lie to her friend.
"You won't get mad, will you?"
"Why would I be mad at one of my friends?"
"But..."
"Come on. Out with it." Asuka let out a smile, knowing that she can trust her.
"Weeell, I lost my Ninja Art scroll." This cause her to widen her eyes as Asuka was shocked.
"What?! When?!"
"Since training... I have to find it soon, or else Kiriya-sensei going to kill me."
"...I don't know, I'd be expecting worse than death if I were you."
"Y-yeah, you're probably right..."
"Did you find it?"
"I did. I have some help from a really nice guy."
"You didn't leak anything about the Shinobi world, right?" Hibari nodded, causing Asuka to let out a sigh of relief.
"I didn't. When I told him about the scroll. He asked me if I'm planning to become a Miko." This cause Asuka to giggle at a guy mistaking her of becoming a Miko.
"So, who was the guy that helps you?"
"Ichigo-kun," Hibari replied, causing Asuka's eyes to widen in surprise.
"Ichigo-kun? You mean Kurosaki Ichigo?!" Hibari nodded as she tilted her head in confusion.
"You know him, Asuka-chan?"
"I do. I met him on the street when I got back from my mission. He was a transfer student from Karakura Town as he enters our school."
"I see. He did mention it when I was talking to him."
"But more importantly, Hibari-chan. Make sure you keep your Ninja Art Scroll in your cleavage, so you don't drop it again."
"I will, Asuka-chan," Hibari said as they go to sleep to prepare for whatever danger was coming toward them.
