Hoshi's journey to the human world was quick and painless. Not so much could be said for her landing. This was her first time back since she had died and when she got through she was a good five feet above the ground, out front of one of her 'targets'- as she had chosen to call them- houses to be precise, out front of Ichigo Kurosaki's house to be more precise. She landed with a thud and a slew of cursing.

"Damnit." She swore for the umpteenth time straightening out her uniform. She took her assignment papers out of her bag and looked back up at the house. "At least I know where the strawberry lives."

Fortunately for her it was the middle of the night and everyone was dead asleep. Except for Ichigo and Rukia, who were off somewhere cracking the mask of a random hollow open. Hoshi stretched her legs and walked off to her assigned apartment complex. They seemed to have everything planed out for her.

It does make sense. She thought as she crossed an intersection. If this had been up to me, I would just stalk the kiddies instead of wearin' this ridiculous get-up.

In a matter of minutes Hoshi had arrived at the apartment complex, which she noticed to be very close to both Ichigo Kurosaki and Orihime Inoue's homes and right next to the train tracks. She glared at them, knowing the damn train would either keep her up or make her get up during the night. She knew she wouldn't be able to get out of this so with a defeated sigh she reached into the envelope her assignment papers were kept in and dug out the key.

The next morning Hoshi woke, stretched, got herself some breakfast, and practiced her 'innocent school girl' routine. As she brushed her new long hair she stuck her tongue out at her reflection.

"Kami I hate usin' the stupid sugary sweet voice." She grumbled. To prove her point she giggled in the most adorable innocent, reminiscent of Yachiru, voice she could muster. "Yamaji is gonna pay for this. Ehehe."

She chucked the brush somewhere now that her new long hair had been somewhat tamed and put the red framed glasses she had been given. "Better get the first day over with."

Hoshi, or Hikari Honda rather, walked out of her apartment and started down the street. Only to be practically run over by a tall orange haired teen and a shorter raven haired 'teen'. The former collided with 'Hikari' breaking her glasses.

Now, being that it was early and 'Hikari' wasn't very fond of early, she snapped. Just as soon as they hit the ground she had the orange haired teen in a strong painful leg lock. "Watch where your goin' numb nuts!" she yelled.

The smaller raven haired girl was more fortunate and was standing near them yelling. "Ichigo! Let him go it was an accident!"

Upon hearing the name 'Hikari' backed off a little bit, but only a little. Ichigo was wincing and trying to free himself. "GAah! Rukia help! I'm sorry! Let go!"

"Oh fine ya wimp." Hoshi said, still forgetting the act she was supposed to put on. She let him go and stood. She picked up her broken glasses and suddenly chucked them up on someone's roof. "Good riddance."

"Ichigo," Rukia said, helping the substitute shinigami up. "are you alright."

"Y-yeah I'm fine Rukia." He said a little shakily. "Hey you," he pointed at Hoshi accusingly. "Just who do you think you are?!"

"Ho-" she coughed. "Hikari Honda." That was close, I almost said my real name. "I just moved here, and from the looks of your uniform we're gonn- going to be in the same class."

I really have to work on not talking like I normally do… alright, gotta amp up the sweet stuff… think like Yachiru. "Ehehe," she giggled in a sugary sweet voice, reminiscent of Yachiru. "I'm real sorry about that. I'm not really a morning person, and you just ran right into me."

Rukia and Ichigo gave her a bewildered look. Was this girl for real? One second she was about to rip Ichigo's head off, and now she was all smiles. Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothes.

"Well," Hoshi smiled brightly. "I'll see you there."

And she was off like a bat out of hell.

Ichigo and Rukia exchanged a confused look.

"Uh.. Rukia I'm still not the greatest with sensing spiritual pressure but-"

"Yes," Rukia nodded. "that girl was defiantly a shinigami… a very strange one at that."

Hoshi bolted all the rest of the way to Karakura 1st High School. That had been a little too close for comfort. It was only the first day and she had nearly blown her cover already. Well there was no use in worrying about it now, the damage was done.

She would just have to deal with it later. When Hoshi arrived at Karakura 1st High School she immediately went to the office. The principal greeted her warmly, and she had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing at his ridiculous hair cut and mustache.

I wonder if everyone here is just as… amusing. She thought as he lead her down to class 1-A.

"Here we are Honda-san." He said opening the door for her before walking back to his office.

When she walked in, fake smile on her face, Ichigo stood up and pointed an accusing finger at her.

"You!" he yelled, making the whole class turn to stare at him. Rukia whacked him in the back of his head and pulled him back into his seat.

Hoshi held back her smirk and walked to the teacher, and handed her a file.

"Class," she said (if someone knows her name please tell me). "This is our new student Hikari Honda. Please make her feel welcome."

Hoshi bowed and smiled at the class. "It's a pleasure to be here."

"Why don't you tell the class a few things about yourself?" the teacher asked.

"Alright," Hoshi put a finger to her chin, pretending to think. "Well.. I like art, music… oh and martial arts."

There was a murrmer threw the room. Most of them couldn't believe such 'a cute and innocent looking girl' could even throw a punch. Hoshi grit her teeth but kept calm as she took a seat at the back of the class.

Hoshi kept a close eye on all of her targets, which was extremely easy seeing as they all had the same class and from the back she could see them all. It wasn't until lunch time that Hoshi had to decide on who to follow. Fortunately that decision was made for her.

"Hirakri!" Orihime waved with a big smile. "Come and have lunch with us!"

"Alright," Hoshi smiled back. She took a look at the others Orihime was with.

One tall, long black hair, two were shorter with brown hair, another with red hair and red glasses, and a tough looking girl with black hair. Hoshi recognized the last as Tatsuki. She had been mentioned in her mission file, but she also recognized her from a martial arts tournament. It had been Hoshi's last one in high school and would have most likely been Tatsuki's first. She hoped Tatsuki didn't recognize her.

DUN DUN DUUUNNN!!!!
