Chapter Two
Yuuki's POV
"Katou-chan..." A far away voice called for me. "Katou-chan... Wake up..." It called again when I didn't respond.
It shook my shoulder a little bit but I still didn't respond.
"What?" I asked sleepily, hoping it will leave me alone.
"Do you want breakfast or not?" It asked annoyed. Food? Do I want food? When was the last time I ate? At lunch with Sakura right? I thought opening my eyes wearily.
"Ichigo-kun?" I asked sitting upright.
"When did you start calling me by my first name? We barely know each other." I didn't even catch that I had called him by his first name.
"Oh! Sorry!" I said apologetic. "I didn't mean to offend you or anything."
"No, it's okay. I don't care what you call me." Ichigo-kun said sitting down in the visitor's chair.
"Well then, Ichigo-kun, would you pass me breakfast?" I said playfully as Ichigo-kun handed me some eggs and bacon on a plate. "Yum!" I said digging in.
I felt Ichigo-kun's eyes on me as I ate.
"Um..." I started to say, swallowing a mouthful of food. "What's up?"
"Uh, nothing." He said getting out of his trance and standing up. "After you're down eating change back into your uniform and let's go to school. We're already late." Ichigo-kun said leaving the room.
Change back into my uniform? When did I get out of it? I blushed at the thought of someone undressing me...
Finishing my breakfast I got changed and walked out of the room. I had, of course, remade the bed and put the hospital gown neatly on it.
I looked around for someone when I saw Ichigo-kun randomly staring out the window.
"Ichigo-kun?" I said bringing him out of another weird trance state.
"Hmm? Oh hey, you ready?" I nodded. "Okay, let's go." He said opening the door.
Once I was outside I saw a ginormous hole in Ichigo-kun's house.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted staring at it. Where have I seen that before? ...That dream! That hole was in my dream! Why is it in the real world then? I thought confused.
"Oh, a guy crashed into our house or something. It was in the middle of the night." Ichigo-kun said walking towards school leaving me behind gawking at the hole.
"AH! Wait up!" I said, noticing he was leaving without me and running up to catch him.
Once caught up I said "Wanna know something weird?"
"What would that be?" Ichigo-kun said amused at my childish acting.
"I saw that hole in my dream last night!" I said and he stopped. "Huh? What's wrong?" I asked confused. Why is Ichigo-kun acting so weird?
"Uh nothing. What was your dream about?" He asked walking again.
"Well, in it, there was this ginormous monster! And you and this girl in a black kimono with a sword were fighting it!"
"Uh Katou-chan..." Ichigo-kun said sweat-drop-ishly.
"Just call me Yuuki-chan, I like it better than Katou." I said ignoring his strangeness.
"That dream you had, you wouldn't of happened go stabbed in it would you?" He asked.
"Yeah I did! Trying to protect you 'cause that girl was trying to stab you!" I said amazed that he could guess what had happened. Or maybe... it wasn't a dream... "Wait, it was a dream wasn't it?"
Ichigo-kun's POV
She did have a right to know what had happened... And if she could see the hollow and the shinigami, Kuchiki Rukia, then she could see ghosts too, right?
"Can you see ghosts?" I asked, ignoring her early question.
"Um... Maybe..." She said looking away embarrassed.
"Then I don't think it was a dream..." I said answering her early question before.
"Whhhhat! What do you mean it wasn't a dream! Shit like that doesn't happen in real life!" She hollored.
"Shush! Keep your voice down! People will think you're crazy if they hear us. Let's just keep this between us, okay?" I said covering her mouth with my hand before she could scream again.
She nodded yes and I removed my hand.
"But what about the girl?" She asked.
"She left back to that Soul Society place she came from."
"Er... 'Soul Society'? Mind explaining?"
"That girl, she was a shinigami. They're kind of like angels, and that monster was a hollow, it's like a demon. The Soul Society where the shinigami and souls of humans live is like heaven. That shinigami's name was Kuchiki Rukia, she came here to protect Karakura Town from hollows." I explained best I could from the shitty way the shinigami had explained it.
"Oh... that's a handful to take in at once." Yuuki-chan said confused.
"LINGALING! LINGALING!" Yuuki-chan's cell phone rang. She searched through her bag to find it and answered with a "Hello?" The person on the phone talked for a bit then Yuuki-chan kept apologizing explaining that she had gotten hurt and stayed overnight at the Kurosaki Clinic and that she was just headed now for school.
By the time the phone call had ended we were at school, entering the building.
"Well, I'll see you later Ichigo-kun." She said with a goodbye running up the stairs to her current class.
Yuuki's POV
I ran up the stairs to my English class. Opening the door I noticed the teacher wasn't there.
"Yuuki!" Sakura called over to me from the back of the class. I sneakily ran over to her and sat in my desk, beside hers.
"Where's Isatsuru-sensei?" I asked confused by the absent of the teacher.
"I dunno. But he hasn't shown up yet so you're safe!" She said giving me the thumbs up signal.
The door slammed open and everyone looked to see who had come in our classroom. It was Ichigokun. This can't be good... I thought as he made his way over to the back of the classroom, where I was.
He grabbed my arm saying "I gotta talk to you" and he pulled me out of my seat.
"Whaaat?" Sakura screamed grabbing my other arm. "You can't just come in here and take her like that? How do you even know her?" Sakura yelled confused... She didn't know that I had met Ichigo-kun last night and that we had sorta became friends.
"It's okay Sakura, I'll explain later." I said getting my wrist outta her grip and walking out of the classroom with Ichigo-kun. "What's wrong?" I asked Ichigo-kun after we had exited the classroom.
"She's back." Ichigo-kun said letting go of my arm.
"What?" I asked looking at Ichigo. He just pointed to the side and I looked. I gawked at the girl who was in the black kimono last night. Now she was in schoolgirl clothes, our schools clothes...
"What?" I yelled totally confused.
"Shush! Keep your voice down fool!" She said angrily at me. Wow, ouch. Someone's a little bratty... "We'll go outside to talk." She said starting to walk off, Ichigo-kun followed her and I followed closely behind him.
"You sure it's okay to trust her?" I whispered very lowly to Ichigo-kun. He nodded his head to respond. What did Ichigo-kun say her name was? Um... Oh! Kuchiki Rukia! I thought, thinking back early when Ichigo-kun and I were walking to school.
"Okay, we're outside. Now explain." Ichigo-kun said angrily to Kuchiki-san.
"How dare you speak to me in such a tone." She said.
Ichigo-kun gave her a 'whatever' look and was about to say something that would probably get them going out at each other when I cut him off. "Kuchiki-san?"
"Hmm? What is it?" She asked looking over to me.
"Um... Well... Why are you here?" I asked getting to the main topic of interest.
"Yeah, why aren't you at that Soul Society place?" Ichigo-kun questioned too.
"Only shinigami can go back there." She said looking over to a couple of trees.
"What?" Ichigo-kun and I said confused.
"I..." She paused for a moment and examined us. "I lost my shinigami powers." Shinigami powers? What? I'm totally confused. I thought trying to make sense of it all.
"Wait, what?" Ichigo-kun asked, confused, but not as much as I was. "Where did the 'shinigami power' go? I don't have it anymore, no more kimono." Ichigo-kun said pointing to his clothing.
Oh, so this shinigami power is that black kimono and those swords?
"My shinigami powers went inside both of you."
"What?" I asked shocked.
"When you were stupid enough to get caught up in-between my zanpakuto and Ichigo-kun my shinigami powers went inside both you and Ichigo-kun. Making your souls connected. It isn't that bad actually, you can't die unless both of you do. It is dangerous though, between shinigami, that is." She said speaking a bunch of mumbo jumbo. "And look what you did! Forcing me into this gigai!" She ranted.
"'Gigai'?" Ichigo-kun asked.
"It's an artificial body that weakened shinigami go into to wait for their powers to come back." She explained. "It helps from being attacked by hollows."
"So this has happened before?" I asked.
"Not this exacted situation, but weakened shinigami? Yes. Now, back to the reason why I came here to found you two. You see, because my shinigami powers are in you two, and I can't fight hollows, I want you two to do my job and protect-"
"NO!" Ichigo-kun said walking off.
"Wait!" Kuchiki-san yelled after him.
"Ichigo-kun..." I said as he walked away.
"What?" He asked looking back at both of us. "I don't want to do that stupid job. I'm not risking my life for no one."
"B-But last night!"
"Last night was different! My family was in danger! I had to do it!" He said defensive.
"Girl," Kuchiki-san said to me quietly, putting on a red glove. "Hide Ichigo-kun's body."
Had I not told her my name? I wondered before asking "What?" Before she could respond she went running off towards Ichigo-kun. She slapped him pulling his soul from his body.
I stood there gawking as she pulled his soul away from the school.
Oh, right! I thought remembering what Kuchiki-san had said. I gotta hide Ichigo-kun's body. I walked towards it and grabbed onto its arm. I looked around till I saw a couple of trees and bushes.
I dragged the body over there and careful hide it so no one could see it.
"Yuuki? What are you doing out here? Where's Ichigo-kun? Why did he drag you out like that?" A voice that sounded a hell of a lot like Sakura's yelled over to me.
I turned around to see her running up to me.
SHIT!
