It was Monday morning and Ichigo was late for school. "Damn Yoruichi for letting me oversleep" Ichigo said to himself he had been running for over half an hour. He ran to his house to change his clothes, luckily Rukia had already left. Ichigo wasn't gonna be late he was making good time too until he was simultaneously thrown into the side of an office building, before he could look up he hard his voice it was Irin.

"I told ya to stay out of that tree."

"You little twerp I'm going to kill you" Ichigo said to himself as he began to run towards Irin.

"No no no." Irin said to Ichigo running the opposite way from Ichigo's school. "Somebody's gonna be late." Ichigo stopped and turned around running back towards kurakara high.

"I'll get you for that Irin."

"Whatever it's 2 for me and 0 for you I'm winning."

"So this is a game now huh?"

"Yup" Irin said as he disappeared around a corner. Ichigo didn't look back he knew Irin was gone but what he failed to realize was his right jaw right underneath his eye and right arm were bleeding, he had been cut when he crashed into the wall. If he knew this he wouldn't have been grinning at the fact that Irin was just like him, he had his odd hair color, scowl and fight. Ichigo liked Irin too bad he'd have to kill him if he keeps this game up. Meanwhile at school Rukia was getting pretty pissed off at the fact that Ichigo wasn't there because whether they were mad at each other or not or he was on his death bed Ichigo always came to school….

"Rukia kun" Orihime yelled softly

"Huh oh hi Orihime"

"Do you know where Ichigo Kun is this morning?"

"Ichigo is, well I don't know Orihime"

"It isn't like him to be late for school"

"Yeah"

"Did something happen between" She was cut off. Ichigo came running into class taking his seat quickly not caring that everyone was staring at him. He was grinning. "Had he really had that much fun" Rukia said to herself. Ichigo just headed to his seat he knew he was late but he didn't know Rukia was there and he didn't care…

"Nice of you to join us Mr. Kurosaki" Mrs. Sasaki said to Ichigo who didn't reply. "Why were you so late Kurosaki kun?" Mrs. Sasaki said.

"Well ya see" Ichigo said lying. " I was showing a new student around the school."

"Well if that's so then why are you bleeding?"

"Huh I'm what?" Ichigo said lost

"Bleeding on your right jaw and right arm" Ichigo touched his jaw and saw blood then his arm to see even more blood. "Damn that Irin for making me bleed" Ichigo said to himself " He'll pay for making me bleed" Ichigo almost entered deep thought until he realized he needed to give Mrs. Sasaki an answer…

"Oh on my way back to class I fell down some steps."

"Well I guess you better go to the nurse" Mrs.Sasaki sighed

"That's okay I have bandages in my bag my brother Irin always gets hurt" an all to familiar voice said moving to the front of the room greeting Ichigo. He was struck he felt as though he new this girl.

"Oh" Mrs. Sasaki said " let me introduce you to our new student."

"Don't I know you?" Ichigo said

"Maybe, I for some reason am having a problem getting past that silly orange hair and scowl"

"No you couldn't be"

"Could you be?" She said

"Nah" they both said at the same time. Everyone in the room was watching now, "Ichigo knew girls out side of the school" someone in the back of the room said " and here I always thought he was kind of gay the way he never reacted to Orihime hitting on him" Rukia wasn't really bothered by this until rumors started to spread the room "maybe they used to go together" one person said" no seems more like a one night stand type of thing to me" someone else blurted out until Tatsuki said "quiet will ya." Holding up her fist quieting the room.

"There's only one way that you're her" he yelled

"There's only one way that you're him," she repeated, "What was our promise before I left?"

"Promise?" Ichigo asked as she began to walk away.

"See" Tatsuki said "They don't even know each other" to the crowd until…

"We made no promise. We said promises were too over rated." Ichigo paused. " Riya."

"Ichigo kurosaki, I never thought I'd see you again you know after" he cut her off

"Whatever" Ichigo said entering a deep scowl, she could tell he didn't want to talk about it.

"So how is Karin and Yuzu?"

"Good"

"What about Old Goat beard?" she said letting out a smile

"Crazy as ever." He said smirking "Wait did you say Irin's your brother?"

"Yes, you remember him?"

"He kicked me out of an tree on Friday"

"Oh so you're the good for nothing carrot top he came home yapping about?"

"He said what" Ichigo said becoming infuriated.

"My, my, my Ichigo you've grown but I don't recall you being this much of a mess."

"Well you can blame Irin for that."

"Awww you're still a big baby."

"Stop" he whispered, "You're ruining my reputation"

"Really"

"Yes"

"Remember" she said loudly so the whole class could hear " we were supposed to get married when we turned 10."

"No" Ichigo said looking at the class.

"Remember we used to kiss each other's boo boo's to make them feel better"

"No I did no such thing". Every girl in the room giggled except for Rukia. "You believe me right Tatsuki?" he said seriously but she just laughed..

"Sounds convincing to me" she giggled

"Forget it" Ichigo said taking his seat

"Well" Mrs. Sasaki said" since you were late showing a new student around school why don't you show Riya Kun around.

"That's okay I rather not"

"But Ichigo"

"Noooooooo"

"Okay if you don't I'll tell everyone who your first kiss was"

"Can we atleast wait until class is over?"

"I guess but"… The bell rang.

"That was quick" Ichigo said as Riya pulled him out of the room to tour her new school. As they walked down the heading toward the office, Ichigo eye's met Rukia's who just happened to be coming from that way. He saw sadness and pain but it was nothing compared to what she saw his eye's were just like the day she met him loneliness, fear, weakness, power, pain, hurt, depression and any other unhappy feeling you could think off it was there. The day had ended quickly him and Riya caught up on what they missed she had moved, he even walked her home which was way far from where he lived but he didn't mind the walk home he needed time to think but he wasn't prepared for what happened next…………………………………………………….
