Okay after a few days of thought, this chapter will not be taking place during the Kokabiel incident or the holy sword.

So with that, enjoy.

Kuoh Town - Kuoh Academy

It has been a few days since Ichigo joined this school, and already he was a part of the student council, orders from the principal of the school. He was named secretary and was the messenger, and he didn't mind it. He was fitting into the council, even though he was a late joiner.

And that is why Ichigo found himself in the old school building holding some files, again. Sona asked him to deliver this to Rias Gremory. But when he entered the room, the crimson beauty wasn't there, instead, she must've been in the shower, for he heard it running. But who he did find was Koneko Toujou, a short, white-haired girl, sitting on the couch.

She looked towards him, and immediately Ichigo reached into his pocket and pulled out a sucker, and tossed it to her, and watched as she caught it. The girl opened it and put it into her mouth, and he watched as a cat-like look appeared on her face.

"You do know that you're spoiling her?" He heard the voice of the crimson-haired beauty.

He looked towards Rias and saw she was wearing nothing but a towel, which was doing a poor job at hiding her bosom. He shrugged and looked into her eyes. "Yes. But I sadly can't avoid it. But I also carry around a chocolate bar, so that I can snack on it." He finished.

The beauty sighed and sat down in her chair. "Well, what do you have for me, Ichigo?" Ichigo stepped towards her desk and held out the files. She took them and looked them over. "Thank you, Ichigo. You may go if that is all."

He nodded, and turned to leave, but instead he found Koneko in front of him. He noticed that she didn't have the lollipop anymore, Ichigo sighed and reached into his pocket and took out a handful of them, and held it out to her.

He noticed the slight widening of her eyes, she then spoke in a quiet voice. "Are you sure?" Ichigo nodded smiling at the white-haired teen. The girl then took five of the lollipops and went back to her spot on the couch. She then whispered. "Thank you."

Ichigo nodded, patting her on the head as he went past her. "Not a problem, Koneko. Well see ya later, Rias, Koneko, and Akeno." The black-haired beauty stepped out of her hiding spot. He then went on his way, leaving the room, and then the building.

When Rias knew he was gone she looked to her sole rook and asked with a smile. "That isn't like you, Koneko? Interacting with someone who isn't part of my peerage, or speaking to someone at all." She saw the blush on Koneko's face, and Rias grinned. "Oh, so you did find yourself a crush, my sweet nekomata."

Koneko remained quiet as she enjoyed the suckers the orange-haired teen gave her. Rias laughed, and let the towel around her lose, allowing it to fall to the floor. She then grabbed her uniform, and slowly put it on.

As she put on her blouse she walked towards the window, and she watched as the orange hair slowly got further away, thinking. 'What are you Ichigo Kurosaki?' But then she watched as he vanished, after looking around.

With Sona who was in the student council office, with her peerage. She was trying her best to focus on her work, but a transfer student was claiming her mind. Since the day he arrived, Ichigo Kurosaki has been on her mind twenty-four a day.

He Intrigued her, he made her mind scream power, but she couldn't feel anything flowing off him. But not only that but the way he made her feel when she thought of him.

Sona was taken from her inner thoughts by the door opening. She looked up to see the teen who was claiming her thoughts. He was standing there, with his hair hiding one eye, and the other glowed brown, with his uniform jacket opened, and in his hand was a half-eaten chocolate bar.

The sight made something in her swirl, and she watched as he made his way towards her desk, putting the chocolate bar away as he did. She shook her head mentally, looked up at the teen, and spoke. "Did she get the documents?" He nodded. "Good. Well if you could get us some drinks, we could continue."

Ichigo nodded and smiled. "Of course Sauna. Is there any suspect drink you'd like?"

Sona answered immediately. "Tea." He nodded and turned to leave, asking everyone else what they would like, and soon he left to get everyone their drinks.

After a few minutes, the teen returned with a cart, which had all of their drinks on it. When he reached Sona's drink he placed a teacup onto her desk, with honey, and sugar, and then poured the tea into the cup. When he finished he went to his desk and went to work on his paperwork.

Time then went by quickly, and when everyone was done their paperwork they got up and went to leave. But before they could leave Sona spoke. "Ichigo." Said orange-haired teen looked back to her. "Have you ever played chess?"

A smile grew onto his face. "I just started." He turned around. "Why do you ask, Souna?"

The beauty looked at her queen and nodded, and Tsubaki left her side and grabbed a chessboard on the shelf. "Well, I want to have a match and to test you on something." She answered.

By the time she finished the chessboard was set up. Sona motioned with her hand at the chair in front of her desk, and Ichigo sat in it. "Before we start, is it okay if we use our chess pieces?"

That made everyone raise a brow. Sona then asked. "Why?"

He shrugged. "I don't know why. But you can use yours if you want." He said scratching the back of his head.

The student council president looked at him confused but nodded. "Well, I'll use this set." Ichigo nodded and smiled. He then took out a box and opened it and brought out a set of orange and black chess pieces. "Those are some interesting pieces Ichigo. Where did you get them?"

Ichigo set the pieces up, and when he was done, he answered. "My mother gave them to me. So who is going to move first!" He finished with a question.

Sons grabbed a pawn and moved it up two squares. "I will. After all, I have more experience than you do." Sona watched as they played the game. The room remained quiet as the two played, and Sona was surprised.

Ichigo was doing amazing for a starter. He showed that even though he is new, he also found chess being a passion of his. But the game didn't last much longer, with Sona getting the teen into checkmate in 47 moves. The orange-haired teen held out his hand, with a smile and said. "Good Game, Souna."

She nodded and took the hand. "Good Game, Ichigo. And you can call me surprised, for a newbie, you did quite well against me. Most of the people here weren't even able to get around twenty moves, you did double them." She smiled, and she then felt the warmth of his hand engulfed hers.

Ichigo broke the hand lock, and grabbed his pieces and put them into the box he took them out of. Then it brought a thought to Sona's mind. 'If he has his own set then he should have a board.' She opened her mouth but Yura spoke first.

"Yo, Ichigo." The teen looked back at the blue-haired female. "If you have your own set, do you also carry your board?" She asked placing a hand on her hip. Sona looked to Ichigo and watched him nod. "Can we see it?" The blue-haired beauty asked.

Ichigo scratched the back of his head. "Sadly no. I have somewhere to be. But another day maybe?" He placed the box that held his chess pieces into his bag.

Yura shrugged. "Fine but you better play basketball with me later as well."

Ichigo nodded, and stood to his full height, tossing his bookbag over his shoulder, and left the room waving as he did so. "Well, I will see you all tomorrow."

When he was gone, Sona was finally able to breathe calmly again. She didn't know she was breathing the way she was, but she did now. "That guy isn't human at all. Being able to go against Sona like that." Saji said, looking at the door the older male left.

"Saji that isn't a way to speak about someone behind their back. But also that doesn't mean he isn't human, it means he's had a good teacher and instructor." Momo said as she hit him, getting an 'ouch' from the sole boy in the room. The white-haired girl then looked towards the peerage king. "But Ichigo is not human. What do we know of him, Sona?"

The king stood up grabbing her bag, and made her way out of the room, and was followed by everyone else. "Well, nothing. All we know is that he is either extremely powerful, or extremely weak, which Rias, and I doubt."

They remained quiet as they left the building, and it was broken by Yura. "Well, we will find out when he shows it. But until then I'd still like to play basketball with him. Well, I'll see you all tomorrow." She finished well turning in the direction of her home, and everyone slowly left.

Elsewhere

Ichigo entered the house that he got that feeling from. It was the same as the day Hyoudou was turned into a demon. He was sure it was the white-haired man, but during that day he threw a smoke boom that concealed his presence, Ichigo could feel him run but left it be.

But now he was here, in a house that stank of blood, and gave Ichigo the feeling of dread. He then entered the room that gave off the feelings. As he did he regretted it immediately, for everywhere he looked blood, and body parts could be seen. Father, mother, and daughter, all of them dead, and all that remained of them was the blood, and body parts.

Ichigo then felt his sense tingle, and he brought his arm up, and a reishi bow appeared on his fingers, Ichigo then shot an arrow at where he felt it. When he looked in the direction he shot, found a small creator in its place.

He then heard a voice from behind him. "What are you?" Ichigo didn't even look towards the voice, but he brought his arm up and shot another reishi arrow. He looked towards it and no one was there but a creator, but then he felt it again but this time it was behind him, and he felt evil to attend coming from it.

Ichigo didn't bat an eye when he felt the steel reflect off his skin. He then turned around quickly, and he felt his hand hit the man's face, sending him flying into a wall. Ichigo then looked at the man who was stuck in the wall.

It was Freed, the man he saw that day, and he seems to reckoned him as well. "Y-your the per-person who was on the building that day." Ichigo stepped towards the man, who tried to move but he couldn't, he then asked with a shivering voice. "Wha-what are you?"

Ichigo stopped in front of the encreatored man and brought out his wings, and he watched as the man's grin left, and as the man started to sweat. Ichigo leaned down until he was beside the man's ear, and whispered. "Your nightmare."

Ichigo stood straight up and summon his larger Zangetsu, and went to kill the insane man, but then he felt it, a demon circle. One that he was familiar with because of how often he was around her, and her peerage. He made his wings vanished, and whispered. "Your lucky, Freed. You better wish you never cross my path again." Ichigo then vanished from the room, just as the door was opened to show a bored and confused Issei Hyoudou.
