Chapter three: the exchange student

The following day, Danny told Sam and Tucker all about the other world and the strange words he heard. Tucker pulled out his PDA looking up the words that Danny told him.
"According to this Shinigami is the Japanese term for death god or soul reaper. Hollows, are ghosts or spirits who lost their core and consume others with high spiritual powers in order to quell their hunger. Hollows are ghosts with a huge hole in their chest and white masks that cover their face. Unfortunately I can't find the meaning of Seireitei." stated Tucker.
"Sounds to me like those Shinigami are the good guys as they battle hollows much like you do Danny." added Sam.
"Yeah... I guess that is why they need those swords they carry. But if they are causing problems in that world and the more dad keeps that portal open, I fear that they will come to this world as well. I don't know if I will be able to fight them." Danny stated with a soft sigh.
"Come on Danny! Your abilities have only grown stronger since the world was in danger. The ghosts here besides possibly Vlad and Pariah Dark are the only ones who are worth fighting. The others are just to weak to fight." Tucker exclaimed.
"If I didn't know any better Tucker, I would think that you are the one who is more hyped up about my powers than I am." Danny stated.
"Hey at least your parents aren't trying to hunt you down. You are the hero of Amity Park, not that anyone knows that Danny Phantom and Danny Fenton are the same person." stated Sam.
"Yeah... there is that. I haven't seen Clockwork since he had fixed it so no one knows that I am Phantom. I haven't even been in the Ghost Zone in a long time." Danny stated as the three of them had made it to Casper High School. The three friends went to their lockers as Danny tried his best to avoid being Dash's personal punching bag. He never understood how the jock could hate his very existence but worship the ground that Phantom walked on. Danny just sighed to himself as he carried on with his normal routine.

Meanwhile, Ichigo had returned to the Seireitei and informed the head captain about what he learned.
"While I was there I ran into several hollows. There was a name on the building that the portal was housed in called Fenton Works. I think they maybe some kind of scientists." stated Ichigo.
"Well if their work is crappy at best. Perhaps you should send me instead head captain. I will make quite certain that these so called scientist don't tamper with the law of physics." stated Mayuri.
"No!" bellowed Yamamoto. "Knowing you Captain Kurotsutchi you would get carried away and take their research and turn it into your own twisted works. This is why I am sending substitute Kurosaki. He is the least bound to go and stir up trouble. Besides his knowledge of the human world is the best to dealing with this crisis." commanded Yamamoto as it caused Mayuri to step back where the other squad captains stood. "Substitute Kurosaki, have you told your father about the mission that I am sending you on?" asked Yamamoto.
"Yeah... As I am ready to go meet up with Kisuke." answered Ichigo as he ran his hands through his orange locks. Yamamoto said nothing more as he smashed his cane down onto the ground ending the meeting. Ichigo had to go back home to reenter his gigai before making his way to Kisuke's shop. Kisuke had set up a special senakimon that would transport Ichigo from Karakura to where Kisuke was at.
*Come on King... This is going to be fun. Who knows you may save another world yet again!* Shiro stated in the back of the teens mind.
*Why am I not surprised that you would feel this way? I guess it can't be helped as I am kind of living up to my name sake.* Ichigo replied.
*Yeah... Strawberry!* Shiro laughed.
*Shiro... Don't ever call me that again!* growled Ichigo as he set out on his new journey. 'I don't like the feeling of this. Why do I feel that this portal is going to be more trouble than its worth?' Ichigo thought to himself.

The bell rang for Danny's first period. He watched as all the students flooded in and took their seats, some still rough housing in the back. His teacher, Mr. Lancer walks in, and quickly hushes the students. Following him was a boy Danny had never seen before. He was tall and muscular, and had orange, spiked hair. His expression stayed very stone-like, not changing much.
"Now class, this is a new exchange student from Japan," Mr. Lancer introduced. He looked down at the name written in his attendance sheet, and made a confused face. "I'll let you take it from here."
The boy nodded to the teacher and faced the class. "My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. It's nice to meet you all," he greeted. A few snickers came from some of the jocks in the back of the room, but Ichigo seemed to just ignore it. Mr. Lancer pointed him to his assigned seat. He thanked him and sat behind Danny.

'So far so good,' Ichigo thought to himself as class ended for lunch. He was assigned a locker not too far down from the men's restroom early in the morning. He turned the dial and entered the combination to open it. Once it was opened, he was able to put one book away before it was slammed in his face. He turned to see a blonde haired boy with a Letterman's jacket on. He was about the same height as Ichigo.
"So you're that new student everyone's been talking about? Welcome to Casper High, carrot-top!" He greeted, grabbing Ichigo in a head-lock and rubbing the top of his head with his knuckles.
Ichigo pushed him away, the boy only laughed and gave his friends around him a high-five and began to walk away.
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Not Carrot-top." Ichigo growled.
The boy stopped, and turned back towards Ichigo. He grit his teeth as he turned back to face Ichigo. "What was that? Did you just back talk me?" He grabbed a fist full of Ichigo's shirt, and slammed him into the lockers behind him. "Listen, Strawberry. You'll regret messing with Dash Baxter. I'll let you off with a warning now, but next time you think you want to mouth off to me, expect a beating!" Dash growled.
Ichigo wanted to punch him right then and there, and it took every ounce of strength to restrain himself. He wouldn't want to blow his cover on his first day of being on the other side of the portal without gathering any evidence. He nodded slowly at Dash, and was let go.
*You should have let him have it, King!* Shiro said.
*Not yet. I'll teach him a lesson later, but right now I need to find a way back into that house without having to sneak in,* Ichigo said.
His pocket began to vibrate, taking out a small flip phone. He opened it up, and saw two red dots on the screen. Hollows were somewhere around here. Ichigo threw back a large gulp.

'The hollows have figured out where the portal is on the other side." Ichigo thought.
