AN: Basically another,shorter version of chapter 1. In the next one,the 'real' story will ,R/R!^^

He yawned as he slowly walked down the street. The first day of the last year of high school. It's almost funny how quickly time passes by. He allowed himself to smile a little bit as he tightened the grip on his lunchbox,. No one was there to see him anyways. Ichigo Kurosaki never smiles. At least not in public. Yuzu was a lot more excited about this day than he was. She got up almost an hour earlier than he did. She was putting so much effort into cooking that rice and fish,only for her brother to be proud. And he was. He loved his sisters so much,and never missed the chance to express his feelings to them. In his on way,of course. Even Karin got up,alhough she had a few more hours to sleep. Karin,having the similar personality as Ichigo,couldn't admit it,not even to herself that she was up only to see her brother leave.
"You are so noisy you woke the whole house up!"she scratched her head pretending to be annoyed.
His dad already left. He kinda missed his kicks and screams,and the morning just wasn't the same without him. Of course,Ichigo would never say that out loud.
He enjoyed the nice warm weather as much as he could. He knew that in a few weeks,the rain,clouds and the cold will replace this spring-like breeze. He shrugged as he thought about it.
"Damn September!"he thought. As he was getting closer to his not so beloved school,he saw a long-haired brunette almost jumping in front of him.
"Inoue!"he yelled,and started walking a little faster. Ichigo Kurosaki would never run just to greet a friend. She turned around surprised,and a bit shocked as she recognized the owner of the voice she just heard.
"Ah,good morning Kurosaki-kun!"she said nervously,a sad smile on her face. They walked without saying a word for a while,when he got tired of the awkward silence between them.
"Um,so how are you?"
"I'm fine…"she answered with a fake smile.
"Liar!"he mentally stated.
"How are you Kurosaki-kun?"
"The same. "he sighed. After another few moments of the weird silence,she realized it was her turn to restart the conversation.
"Don't do it Orihime. Don't!Everything just not that!Think!Think of something else!"her inner self was warning her. "How's everything with Senna-chan?"Shit. She lost. Why would she ask that,out of all the questions in the world?!He looked at her,a surprised look in his eyes.
"You don't have to ask me that,you know. "he smiled sadly.
"I know!But we're friends…. aren't we,Kurosaki-kun?"Inoue whispered,looking at her own feet,unable to face the guy she just lied to. Friends. He wasn't a "friend" to her. He never will be. And she knew that,no matter how much she denied it.
"Do you really want me to answer that question?"He raised an eyebrow. Her act never fooled him. He knew. And she knew that he knew. It seemed like he was looking through her,into her mind. Into her soul. Into her heart.
"Ah,look at the time Kurosaki-kun!I need to pick up the new students!How could I forget that?!Silly Orihime!Eheh,I'm sorry,I really need to…. hurry up!"she said as she stopped walking,turning her back to him. Her voice sounded happy an excited,but her face would ruin the act. She couldn't allow that to happen. And she sure couldn't bare to stay with him much longer. She wouldn't be able to stop her tears from falling. She hated how easily things made her cry. She ran off,as fast as she could,right hand on her mouth. Why is she so stupid?!Why couldn't she just shut up,or pretend not to hear him when he called her name?This wasn't the right way to start this year. She practiced her speech so many times during the summer,yet she forgot everything when it was time for her to actually do it. Why is she so stupid?!Why couldn't she just shut up?!

"Have you heard about them?The new it couple!"
"They really did break up last year,huh?"
"You owe me 10 dollars!See?I knew the rumors were true!"
"So was she the reason?"
"Is she alright though?"
"So let's vote!Which one is prettier?"
"I can't believe it!The fairy-tale couple is done!"

"Ichigoo!You're officially in the heartbreaker club now!Kyaaa,I'm so proud!"
"Shut up Keigo!"he punched the guy who was trying to hug him,all excited an' shit.
"Yo…Ichigo. "
"Ah hey Chad!How was summer?"He awkwardly scratched his head,looking at Chad,or his chest to be more exact. He was so damn tall!
"We know how you're summer was,Kurosaki!"commented Ishida mocking the orange-haired,fixing his glasses with a barely noticeable smile.
"Fuck off Ishida!"He glared at his friend. Was it really such a big deal?
"Hey Kurosaki. You and Senna?"raised an eyebrow Hitsugaya Toshiro,the small heartthrob,appearing out of nowhere.
"Really,you're the one to talk?"Ichigo looked back at him in the same manner. After a glare war,Toshiro sighed,obviously annoyed by the remark. He didn't want to get busted.
"Whatever. "
"What?Toshiro?!"yelled Keigo,dragging the white-haired guy away from the group,trying to make him speak up.
"Ichigo!Senna huh?"He heard Ikkaku yell almost across the whole damn hallway,with a goofy I-know-it-all grin across his ridiculous face.
"Can everybody just fuckin' let it go?!"He screamed,throwing his arms in the air.
BANG!
"No cursing,gaki!"Yoruichi-sensei punched his head while passing by with a playful smile.
"Ah…sorry senseri. "
" Oh and congratulations!"She waved before she slammed a class-room door closed.
This year is going to be hell.

"Ah you must be Kuchiki-san and Abarai-san!Class,these are your new classmates!Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai!Please,be nice to them,I know how you guys are!"
Ichigo looked up for a second,boredom written all over his face.
"The new classmates,huh?They're weird. "he mentally stated,and turned back to the window. Everything was green and seemed full of life. He smirked,as he remembered how everything will turn gray and sad in a few weeks.
"Why does the rain always have to come?"He sighed,and buried his head into the bag on his desk.

He barely managed to escape from his friends who wouldn't stop teasing him all day long. He really needed to cool off,and just forget about everything for a few minutes. It was lunch break,and he wouldn't be able to put up with the questions his classmates wouldn't stop throwing at him. He wanted peace and silence. And he knew just where to find it. His friends were too lazy and too popular to walk all the way to the park. Whenever they appeared,everybody would move away until they decide where to sit. They pretty much ruled the school. Ichigo never really liked the attention though. He just wanted to be…normal. Not noticed. Not talked about. When things were too tough,he'd just sit behind the huge tree near the fence marking the end of the school park. It was "his spot. "The place where he could hide. Become invisible. Nobody ever really came there. A few girls maybe,who froze when they saw him sitting there,and then ran away. Since then,nobody really came. Except for Senna. She never ran away. She wasn't afraid.

"Wow!If it isn't Ichigo Kurosaki!The prince of Tokyo High!"
"Huh?"
"Nothing hehe. "
"What do you want?"
"To get away from people. "
"And you are?"
"Senna. I'm Senna. "

He finally found the Shakespeare book he was looking for. He slowly opened up his lunch box,and took a bite of the fish his sister made him. He enjoyed every next bite he took,knowing how much effort Yuzu put into preparing it. He smiled. It was delicious!Yuzu's cooking became really good in the last few months. Nearly perfect…Almost like…. He shrugged,trying to erase the sadness he suddenly felt in his heart. It was still painful to think about her. Unbearable.
"Aeeeraghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuh!"he suddenly heard and jumped up a bit. What on earth is making this awful sound,something like a cat struggling in her last moments before dying a terribly painful death?!He was so annoyed. Can't he have a few minutes of peace?He took his glasses down,and shut his eyes to calm himself down. This was his place. His spot.
"Aeeeeh…"
What the hell?!He got up,and his glasses fell on the grass. He raised an eyebrow as he saw the owner of the terrible…barking. So she was the one who felt like scaring the living shit out of him.
" Keep that weird noise down,midget!"he yelled,hand on his hips.
After a few seconds,everything turned black.
Did she just punch him?!
