CHAPTER 2 - NEVER THE RIGHT TIME

Ichigo woke up with a scream. It started out as a harmless dream and ended as the most horrible nightmare he had in years. It was still dark out. His alarm clock said 5:47 a.m. Well, he wasn't going to get any sleep anyhow, so he thought he should get out of was quiet in the house, Ichigo's dad and little sisters were gone. They won tickets to hawaii. Karin and Izu needed supervision and Ichigo was old enough to stay home. Con wasn't around too, he was on one if his you're-gonna-miss-me-when-im-gone trips,....again. Ichigo did miss the little guy, but only because he was by himself. It's hard to get used to the quiet when you are usually surrounded by loud people that seem to always want to statte their opinion. The blonde turned on his most favourite CD and listen. He was thinking that it should be like this all the time nice and quiet. Someetimes He just hates to admit he's shinigumi went downstairs to get some breakfast. He poured the cereal into the bowl and reached for the milk when, BRRRR BRRRR

" Hello?"

" Kurosaki it's me."

"Ishida?"

"Ya I'll come in ....5 minutes"

" What ? Why so early?"

" You know soul society, they never have the right timing ... the experement is here"

" What? "

" Get ready! I'll bring it over soon"

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Ichigo put the phone back on the reciver. Went upstairs to get dressed. However, Ichigo never made it upstairs, because the door bell rang. He looked around the room for anything he could wear. There was a pair of pants on the couch. Thanks to the fact that Ichigo wasn't a very tidy person he didn't have to meet Ishida, Nemu and the nameless, mysterious expirement in his boxers. He opened the door. Suprise all around. Ichigo never thought he would see Ishida's suprised face.

" Oh for the love of god Kurosaki, put something on!"

" Oh shut up! It was your fault I didn't even have time to get upstairs 'I'll be there in 5 minutes' remember?"

" Haha sorry about that, anyways can we come in?"

" Oh right"

Ichigo moved out of the way. The three figures stepped into the room only to be amazed at the sight that was waiting for them.

" Holy! Don't you ever clean up Kurosaki! This place is a pigstry!"

" Hey ! I don't remember going to your house and saying that!"

" Like hell you don't! My house is clean!"

" Oh, right. Where is it ? I want to meet the little guy,.......... or girl "

" In the truck.. there is a crate"

" A what?"

" Are you hard of hearing ? I said a crate"

" crate? IN A CRATE ?!?!?!?"

" YES IN A CRATE!!!"

By this point the started to argue about human rights, however they immidiatly stopped when Nemu cleared her throat.

" Ichigo - san the experement is in the crate for safety purposes. It is very dangerous and when you know who it is you will know why. So please don't waste time arguing about it."

"uhh ...alright.."
