Response to reviews~!

Ok now the first chappie~! :3 After this, i'm gonna work on my christmas one shot this year.

Chapter 1

The alarm clock rang loudly in the background, the lump under the sheets groaning and a hand shot out to smack the blasted thing. "Damnit...I don't wanna-"

"Ichigo! You gotta go to school!" He groaned as a voice called from downstairs. "Everyone else is here! It's 9:00 already!"

"Leave me alone Hisana..." He grumbled, burying his head under the covers again.

"Ok...Rukia?"

"Gotcha Mom!" The next thing he knew, he was forcefully kicked from the bed...on the side of the room with the window. "Get up Ichigo~!"

"The hell Rukia? !" Ichigo snapped, his bare chest rising and falling with his angry breathing. "You want me to push you out that damned window? !"

"Maybe I wouldn't havre to resort to such drastic measures if you'd get the hell up on time every once in awhi-" They were both interrupted by a pillow being flung in their faces, Rukia falling out of the window, just barely landing on her feet. "Mom!"

"Enough, both of you." Hisana sighed, her violet eyes shining with amusement. "Ichigo, head on to school, and I'll make sure a big dinner is ready for everyone when you all get home."

"Mmm...food is so tempting." Ichigo smiled and quickly shuffled his way into his uniform and rushed out the door.

"Ichigo, some times you sleep so well, the zombie apocolypse could be happening and they wouldn't try to eat you because they'd think you're dead!" Renji laughed as Ichigo panted, catching up with his friends. He glared at the red head and sighed. "You know I'm joking right?"

"Of course. I'm just...tired is all." He looked to his lewft and felt himself choke as bit as he saw the large, dim sign. 'Kurosaki Clinic'. On the door was a sign that said 'For Sale'. Guys...He sighed and looked away. "Let's go ok?" He started walking at a brisker pace, Rukia and Renji staring at him with worry. As he walked down the road, he turned to see someone he'd never seen in town before.

The man was his height, yet was pale like fresh, virgin snow, his hair the same color in a ponytail. the man wore a black hoodie and tight black jeans. But even in the shadows of the hood, Ichigo could see haunting golden eyes...watching him with interest. Who...who the hell?

"Ichigo, you ok?" He turned to see Renji and Rukia run up to him, and when he turned to look at the pale stranger, he was gone.

"Y-yeah..." He muttered. "I'm...still trying to cope is all." Rukia grabbed his arm reassuringly and smiled.

"We know it's tough...but you'll be just fine Ichigo." She smiled. "C'mon, we're already late." Ichigo turned to look at where the stranger had been earlier, but still no sign that he'd even been there.

Who was that man? He wondered as he raced after his friends to school. Said man watched from the shadows, a sigh escaping pale lips.

"I smell Death close to him..." He whispered to himself. "Best keep an eye on him."

"Man, classes are so booooooring~!" Renji yawned and streatched. Ichigo, Rukia and Renji, joined with three other friends, walked together down the street. Ichigo stared off into space as they walked, ignoring the chatter in favor of thinking about the pale stranger.

I've never seen him before. Is he forgein? New in town? Is he-

"Hey Ichigo!" Ichigo blinked and looked at Rukia. "Home's this way." She pointed. Ichigo looked at the other end of the street, and sighed. "Visiting them then?"

"Y-yeah...I'll catch up later ok?" He smiled lightly and waved his friends goodbye as he headed for the cemetary. As he walked down the street, he saw a small boy playing nearby with a younger girl and smiled. But when the girl tumbled into the path of a speeding car, Ichigo didn't hesitate to rush in, shielding the girl with himself. He closed his eyes and waited for the impact, but for some reason, it didn't come. He opened his eyes and once again saw the pale stranger across the street, and for a few seconds, he swore he saw black wings melt from the shadows before his world goes dark.

"...urosaki..."

Mgh...wha'?

"Mister...saki..."

Ugh...five more minutes...

"Mister Kurosaki Ichigo!" Ichigo's eyes snapped open at the rather impatient voice calling his name. "About time, my human friend. I was afraid that you'd died fully already. It'd be such a shame." He blinked away the sleep from his eyes to see aman sitting across a table covered in a grey cloth. The man's smile was wide, his eyes closed and fingers folded in front of him. "My my, you seem to be half asleep still. that won't do. You need to be more aware, or you'll end up trapped here for eternity."

"E...eternity?" Ichigo looked around him to see a small room filled with patched up dolls, their eyes seemingly watching him.

"Why yes. After all you are...how shall I say it? In a coma in the real world?" The man shrugged. Ichigo's eyes widened as he remembered the car and the little girl. His head snapped back to the odd man. He then noticed the fox shaped ears on his head, twitching in irritation. "It's quite rude to stare you know, Kurosaki Ichigo."

"H-how do you know my name? ! Who are you? ! Where am I? !"

"Slow down 'lest ya give yourself a heart attack...if that's even possible in your current state." The 'man's grin widened, revealing rows of sharp teeth. "I know pleanty about you, Kurosaki Ichigo. My 'human name' is Ichimaru Gin...and welcome to Limbo. You are currently on the brink of Death."
