I stared at the letter in shock. My father is dead, right? I should be happy if this is true, but why do I feel terrified? I opened the letter and read it.

Everything is okay now, please comeback.

What did the letter mean? In addition, why is it so short? I have not seen my father since I lost my memories, why is he now just contacting me? This does not seem right. Why do I have a bad feeling about the whole thing? I placed the note back on my bed as another thought quickly entered my mind; how did the note get onto my bed? Was my father actually in my house? I felt scared at the thought, but why? Does it have to do with that silly dream about him killing mother? That cannot be true, it was just a dream.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

I jumped out the sound and quickly remembered where I was and ran to the door. Nobody was there. I looked around and saw nothing. I sighed, was this some kind of prank?


The break soon ended and I spent the whole time trying to search for my father to no conclusion. It is as if he does not exist or something. Then again, I do not even know my parents names. I sighed as I walked into the school to see the usual scene of Keigo attacking Ichigo, and the latter easily took the former down. I could not help but smile as I walked by.

When I arrived in the room, I was slightly surprised to see Ichigo talking to Chad, Orhime, and Ishida talking. When did the four of them become friends? I was tempted to walk up to them and ask about the other problem that has been weighing on my mind for the break; what happened to Rukia. I walked over to my seat, sat down and pulled out the book I had planned on reading, but never got to.

I stared at the cover of the book as Tatsuki yelled, "hey Kana did you do the assignment?"

"Assignment?" I repeated confused.

"At least I'm not the only one who did not know" Ichigo muttered.

Tatsuki stated, "you would have known if you would stop falling asleep in class" and I felt my cheeks redden.

"Either way, I had a busy summer" I responded, "I barely had time to even sleep." I actually went three days without sleeping and not realizing until Tatsuki send me a message about school today.

"What did you do over the break?" Orihime asked curiously.

"Ummm" I began, "studying." Everyone looked at me confused as a silence fell in the classroom. Well it was not a lie.

"What is that?" Tatsuki asked pointing at something on Ichigo's shirt.

"Huh? Oh this" Ichigo asked gesturing toward the red little tag on the bottom of his shirt, "it's a lucky charm." After a pause he added, "my dad did it, he sowed it on my uniform."

"I could figure that out without even asking" Tatsuki responded.

"How the hell did you already know that?" Ichigo asked.

"It's a simple case of logic. Who else but your dad would give you something goofy as that thing?" Tatsuki explained, "anyway that does not matter. What I really wanted to ask you about was that skull there." Ichigo pulled out a skull charm out of his pocket.

I straightened in my chair to get a better look and stated, "that looks cool."

"It's interesting you would say that; I got it from this gu- I mean I found it" Ichigo began and stopped, "wait a second you both could see this?"

"What's the big deal?" Tatsuki asked.

I stated, "yes so I guess my eye sight is not as bad as I thought." Before Ichigo could say anything else, the teacher walked in.


Nothing seemed out of the ordinary as the school day continued. The only thing that seemed strange was Chad, Ichigo, and Orihime running out in the middle of class and the new student disappearing before he even went to class. The kid did not arrive until the middle of the day and his name was Shinji Hirako.

I sighed as I walked home alone. I could not help but feel nervous as I walked home. I have a feeling that something bad was going to happen. Actually, I felt like I was being watched. I began to look around and realized I was completely alone. I began to hurry up and feel a little nervous. I did not stop until an eerie feeling washed over me. I turned around again and realized I was not alone.

I yelled, "who is there?"

No response. I turned around and saw someone… something standing a few feet in front of me. The thing looked like a monster ripped out of some fantasy story. The creature was about 4 meters tall and looked like a lion on two legs. The creature's skin was dark purple and it had a skull mask covering its face. Bright red eyes glowed from beneath the mask and looked at me hungrily.

"Hungry" the thing muttered as it took a step toward me, "delicious." I took a step back; this just made the thing laugh. Without thinking I turned around and ran from it. I heard the creature laugh and yell "hide and seek!" The thing came running after me faster than I was running. My mind went to the dreams I was having before the break and realized what the creature was: a hollow. Wait, wasn't it just a dream? It cannot be real.

"Tag you're it!" the hollow said as it hit me on my left side throwing me against the wall. The hollow stood over me and I saw its red eyes shine. Am I about to die? I stared at the hollow terrified and could not help but notice the hole where its heart should be. I am probably going to die and I am thinking about that? The hollow reached its hand down toward me and before it could touch me, the creature disintegrated. What the hell? Am I going crazy?

Standing a meter away from where the hollow just stood was the new student, Shinji.
