Hope you like it so far. I'm still trying to get used to the site so sorry for any mistakes!

Reviews would be awesome if ya have the time!

I slowly followed everyone out of the plane. I noticed that there was another compartment of seats in front mine. It seemed like everyone who was sitting there had cleared out though.

"Hey go already!" Ichigo yelled at me while I was standing in the middle of the isle.

"Oh sorry." I was snapped out of my daze and slowly walked towards the exit.

I had one foot out the door when I looked up. My jaw dropped. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

We were on a beach. The plane landed on a beach! I looked out over the ocean, dumbstruck. I had never seen an ocean more beautiful than that. The beautiful blue waves lapped at the sand looking like they were trying to grab something. The crisp white foam bubbled with excitement.

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in my back. Next thing I know I'm tumbling down the steps and landing on my face in the sand.

"Damn!" I look back at Ichigo who had his foot sticking out while trying not to laugh at me. "You dumbass! What the hell was that for!"

"Well you were just s-standing there." He said while trying to hold back laughter. "I figured I'd help you out!" He bursts out laughing and walks down the steps. He offers me a hand but I smack it away and stand up with a scowl on my face.

I had no time to deal with him. I had sand in certain places and was not in the mood. I walked around to the other side of the plane wondering where everybody went. My jaw dropped again, even wider this time.

About 100 meters away was the biggest, most extraordinary building I have every seen. It looks kinda like a hotel. It was right off the beach. I saw everyone walking indoors. I better follow them.

I finally caught up to everyone in the lobby after I had passed through two huge grand doors. I look all around me. This place is amazing! The ceiling was really tall and everything was so elegant. I thought for a moment that I was someplace royal.

Ichigo came up behind me, "This place is amazing."

"I know." I said still in awe.

"Found everybody." Ichigo said while walking over to the huge crowd of people standing in the middle of the lobby.

I follow him and notice that someone is trying to get everybody's attention.

He finally gives up and stands up on the front desk. "SHUT UP!" The girls working there had appalled looks on their faces. I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Ok everyone here?" The man says. He was wearing a green and white stripped hat and had short blonde hair. He was wearing a green t-shirt and ratty jeans and large flip-flops. He looked like some surfer dude who just woke up. "Now we have reservations but I need to count everybody so we know how many people per room." He starts pointing and counting everyone. Then I see him look straight at me and count.

Am I supposed to be included in the count? "Okay…" He tries to work out the math in his head. "Umm…So four per room. Okay everybody get in groups of four. Oh and girls with girls and boys with boys!" I heard a few complaints when that was said.

Oh no! I better find a group. Where's that Rukia girl from earlier? I spot her raven black hair through the crowd and walk over to her. I saw that she was with two other people. "Hey Rukia."

She turned around to face me. "Oh hey Mai! Do you want to join our group? We still need another person."

"Sure, thanks Rukia"

"No problem! Oh this is Momo and Orihime. They are rooming with us!" She says while pointing to the two girls. One was small and had her black hair in a small blue bun. She wore a light blue sundress with dark blue flowers on it. The other one looked kinda ditzy with her bright sunset hair. She wore a v-neck pink shirt and a small grey skirt.

"Nice to meet you." I said while shaking their hands. They were both very pretty.

Orihime gave me a big hug, "This is gonna be so much fun!"

"Hey Rukia, I was wondering, how old are you?" I ask her.

"Oh I'm 420." she replied

"Ha-ha very funny. Now really how old are you?"

"I told you, I'm 420 years old."

"I'm 236 if that helps." Momo cuts in.

"What?" I say with a very confused look on my face.

"I'm only 16." Orihime says like it's a bad thing.

"Guys that's not funny." I say.

"But it's true! They really are that old!" Orihime said.

How can you be that old?" I said still not believing them.

"We're dead. We are Soul Reapers." Rukia says with a serious look on her face.

"A soul what?"

"A Soul Reaper! I thought you were one!

"I don't even know what that is…"

"A Soul Reaper is someone who's dead and we protect dead spirits from evil monsters called Hollows." she explains while drawing some weird pictures on a notepad.

She turns it around to show me. There were little drawings that looked like they were done by a five year old. "Uh… Is this supposed to help me?"

"Hmph! You're just like Ichigo!"

"Sorry but are these so called "hollows" big and ugly?"

"Well yeah. Have you seen one?"

"I think so…"

FLASHBACK

5 years ago. Karakura Town

Just keep running! Wait why am I running?

I turn around to face the monster. I'm 12 I can handle this guy! I knew it was only some sick bastard who gets enjoyment from scaring people. I hate people like that!

The monster man came up to me and roared loudly. That's a weird noise. That was when I realized that it was not human because I saw that it had a person hanging out of its mouth. There was blood dripping in front of my feet.

"What the-?" I was suddenly smacked into a tree. I was knocked unconscious instantly and my right arm was cut badly.

When I wake up I saw that I was in a small clinic and my arm was bandaged. My mom was standing over me. There were two little girls there, giving me strange looks.

"Wha-what happened?" I said before I passed out again.

"You live in Karakura Town!" Orihime asks with her face radiating joy.

"I used to, with my mom."

"What happened to your dad?"

"Well to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure."

"What? How do you not know what happened to him." Momo cut in.

"Well he left for work one morning and then never came back. He didn't leave us but we don't know what happened to him…It was that day that he didn't come back. The day I saw the hollow. I think that maybe he was eaten by it…" I shuddered with the thought.

"Aww you poor thing! Don't worry my brother was eaten by a hollow to so I know how you feel" Orihime said looking sad. "But that's so cool how you lived in Karakura Town!"

"I'm sorry… but how do you know about Karakura Town? It's a pretty small town."

"I've lived there my whole life silly! Hey how old are you?"

"I'm 17."

"Well why didn't I see you in school!" I don't remember you!"

"You probably never saw me. I was homeschooled by my mom and then we moved into the country a few months after the incident."

"Oh…hey you said something about a small clinic! Do you know the name of the doctor there?" Orihime said wondering if it was who she thought it was.

"Umm… I think so… something beginning with an I… maybe an M…hmmm…Oh I remember now! His name was Isshin! He was really nice to me. I stayed there for a few days while my arm was healing."

Orihime was getting excited. "Do you know is last name!" she said almost yelling at me.

"No sorry…I don't remember. It might have started with a K I think… I don't really know."

"Was it Kurosaki!"

I remembered someone on the plane calling Ichigo that. "Yeah…That sounds familiar."

"Well that's Ichigo's dad!"

I stood with a look of shock on my face. No way in hell that this could all connect! "No way!"

"Yes way!"

I am done with learning about soul reapers! This is frickin crazy! Now I'm sharing a room with some girl who acts like she's high all the time and two old ladies that look like they should be in elementary school! This is one hell of a dream!
