I had found myself in front of a lot of weird classmen. One was tall, with dark skin, and hair in cornrows. He was wearing boxing shorts, and a black shirt. He wore glasses and had four piercings, one on his left eyebrow, two on his left ear, and one on his right ear lobe.
Another one of the students had long spikey blue hair tied in a ponytail. He wore the standard men's uniform, and had this sorta bored look in his eye.
Then there were the only girls. One had her entire face in bandages, with only a couple of hairs sticking out, and her one red eye visible. She also had a knife sticking out of her forehead, but other than that wore the female uniform. The other girl was strangely enough doing a hand stand on her head. She wore pink short shorts, a pink jacket with pink fur lining that showed off her bra and midriff. Her hair was brown and tied into two buns. She also wore a wool knit cap.
The last two in front of me was a midget with silver hair, a mask, the boy's uniform, and a scarf. Next to him was a tall spikey haired blonde guy. He wore a fixed version of boy's uniform that had a longer, flowing, ripped version of the boy's uniform. The strange thing was that he had a yellow glow around him.
"Everyone this is Ichigo" Chairman Shiranui said introducing me to everyone. "He will be the latest member of the Thirteen Party. He will be designated by the codename 'Shinigami.' I hope you all get along." The chairman proceeded to walk away after introducing me. That was short I thought to myself.
"Great to have you aboard Ichigo" the tall dark-skinned guy greeted extending his hand. "The names Shigusa Takachiho" he introduced.
"Uh, ya same here" I tried to shake his hand but he took it away from me before I could. I looked at him really confused, 'Why would he make it like he wants to shake my hand if he was just going to take it away. Ass.'
"Sorry that is my abnormality" he explained.
"Your abnormality makes you rude?" I continued.
He was a little taken back by this. "No, I just have automatic reflexes. Nobody can touch me."
"Oh, sorry" I apologized embarrassed. That was rude of me.
Trying to recover from that I tried to introduce myself to the blue haired guy. "Nice to meet you" I greeted, my arm extended for a hand shake. But without warning a sword appeared out of nowhere and he almost cut my head off. Thank god for my enhanced reflexes.
"What the hell man!" I yelled at him. "You almost killed me."
"You were introducing yourself to me, so I decided to kill you" he responded in a calm tone. It's like it wasn't a big deal to him! But then an idea came to me.
"Let me guess, that's your abnormality."
"Yes, how did you know?" he asked. I decided to just walk away before I would get killed.
"Hello, my name is Naze Youka, and this is my best friend Koga-chan" the bandaged girl introduced.
"It's nice to meet you Ichigo-kun, I'm Koga Itami" Koga continued. She then proceeded to do a back-flip off Youka-san's head.
"At least you two seem normal" I said to the two.
"What did you say?" Koga asked. The weird thing was that she seemed angry.
"I said you seemed normal" I responded, kinda nervous. Before I could do anything Koga threw me to the ground, and put me in some sort of painful lock.
"Take it back!" she demanded.
"I'M SORRY I TAKE IT BACK!" I yelled in desperation. She still kept at it. "I SAID I TOOK IT BACK!"
"Koga-chan he took it back, release him" Naze-san said. Well not really said but ordered. But Koga-san did release me in the end. "I'm sorry I should explain. Koga-chan hates being called normal."
"Well she isn't normal, she's freaking crazy!" I shouted at her.
"Aw, thank you Kurosaki-kun" she said blushing, holding her hands up to her cheeks.
"And that was a compliment to you?" I asked.
"Koga-chan's abnormality is that she desires to be abnormal, and will do anything to be abnormal" Naze-san explained.
"Well then, that's fitting I guess" I responded.
"Either way Ichigo I need you to come with me" Naze said.
"Really why? I haven't finished introducing myself to everyone" I replied pointing to the masked boy, and the blonde guy.
"They aren't really the type to socialize. Plus I need to prepare you for surgery."
"Wait, what surgery?" I asked. I did not hear anything about a needing surgery!
"It's so I can properly see the limitation and expectations you have" she said with a board face. It kind of made me mad.
"Can't you just make me go through a bunch of physical tests?" I asked desperately. I mean I didn't have problem with surgery in general, but this was too out of left field.
"I could, but that would take too long. And it's not fun for me" she replied with a devious smile. I couldn't believe the people I had gotten myself involved with. A boxer with auto reflexes, a homicidal maniac, a girl who puts people in judo locks for calling her normal, and a mad scientist. I was really starting to regret my decision.
(O)
I lied, irritated I might add, on the surgery table as Naze-san prepared her tools. I figured I might as well learn some more about the abnormals, so I decided to ask.
"Naze-san do you know a lot about the abnormals?" I asked.
"I know almost everything about them. Why do you ask?" she replied.
"I don't really know anything about the abnormals. I figured if I was one I should know what I am."
"Well in all honesty it's not much. We abnormals are a select few humans that have a certain ability that is beyond human capacity. The problem is that an abnormal's abnormality is so great that is it almost impossible to control that ability, so we subconsciously try to control and master it. Another problem is that regular normal, the people you see around you, are subconsciously afraid of that aspect, and push us away. Because of that most abnormals seek human interaction and companionship."
Thinking back on the entire explanation it didn't really relate to me that much, but at the same time it did. People have always avoided me, but I thought that was because of my hair. At the same time I didn't always want people around me, in fact I always pushed people away. I wondered if I was really an abnormal.
"I'm going to turn on the anesthesia now" Naze-san said. After a while I felt light head, and started to get drowsy. My eyes got heavier, and soon I fell asleep.
(O)
After a day I woke up in a hospital bed. The only problem was that I wasn't in a hospital. Everything was dark and grey, and I wasn't hooked up to anything. After a couple of seconds Naze-san entered my room.
"Well Kurosaki-san you are definitely an abnormal, and you have a lot of potential" Naze-explained. "By the way I need you dressed, today you have training with Munakata-san."
"Who is that?" I asked.
"The blue-haired guy who tried to kill you yesterday."
"Why am I training with that guy exactly, I just had surgery?" I asked.
"You're fine though" she replied. When I really thought about it I was fine. I looked down at my body, and I was fine. Most of the scares from the surgery were healed, and I felt fine.
I was a little annoyed to be training with that guy I mean he tried to kill me, and knowing better I bet he would try to kill me again.
"When you were a Shinigami you fought with a sword, and Munakata is the only one who uses weapons" Naze-san explained. "You don't have to worry about him killing you, if it seems close to happening your abnormality might awaken."
(O)
I found myself in an old fashion Japanese garden, and even though we were underground there was a clear blue sky with clouds, though it seems it was painted on. Munakata was in front of me, two swords in hand. He threw one of the swords to me.
"Now just fight" Naze said. "I will record information on Ichigo as you two fight."
"Wait, I thought you already got all my data?" I asked.
"I only got data on your limitations and expectations, I still need fighting capabilities and overall states" she stated. It kind of annoyed me how every time I found a lapse in logic she always had a logical counterargument. I want one of these days to leave her speechless.
"Okay let's do this!" I exclaimed. I unsheathed the sword and positioned myself. He did the same. I charged at him, he did the same. We clashed, we were locked. I shifted the sword so it pointed to him and thrust. He jumped back, parrying so the sword went up. I was thrown off balance. I tried to get my footing back, but before I could he cut me across the chest. I clenched the wound, but then Munakata stabbed me in the shoulder. I jumped back as far as I could. I was in a lot of pain, and then it hit me. I was in a human body, the pain was instant and I didn't have the soul form either. I was in real danger. Danger of bleeding out, of dying much easier than usual, and I was scared.
"What are you doing Kurosaki, if you just stand there I will kill you" Munakata taunted. Or was it a warning, his voice was too calm. I got a hold of myself, I could not die.
"You better unlock your abnormality soon or you will die Kurosaki" Naze shouted from afar.
At this point I was pissed off beyond all comprehension. I was bleeding to death and the only two people around were treating it like nothing! I firmed my grip on the sword and charged. I was going to beat this punk if it was the last thing I do. I charged again, this time swinging the sword to the right; he did the same but to the left. We clashed; I pulled the sword back and tried again, this time above. We did a pattern like this for a while, always ending with us in a lock. I was getting tired, my human body not being able to compete with my Shinigami body. My swings got slower, and my sword felt heavier.
My mind went black for a second, when I come to I have a sword in my chest. I can barely comprehend what was happening, would I die? Was it my time? But the more I thought about it, maybe dying isn't so bad. I would see Soul Society once again. I had seen the afterlife, it wasn't so bad. Hell, I would be able to see my mom again. I was no longer afraid of dying, I embraced it.
But that is when something weird happened. I suddenly felt lighter. I wasn't tired anymore, and I felt fine. I looked down; I was still impaled. I grab the blade; I felt no pain from the edge, and pushed it out of me. I feel a familiar sensation, something from when I was a Shinigami. Reiatsu, it was reiatsu. I had reiatsu again! Not only that, but I felt the reishi around me. It was like being a Shinigami, but in my human body.
"I see" Naze commented. "You seem to be channeling the energy from yourself, and the environment from around you. Show me what you can do with it." I grinned, I was back. I had power once again. I channeled as much reiatsu as I could into my feet, and sprinted. I was behind Munakata; I had just used shunpo again. I positioned my sword to point upward and I followed through; I had cut his back. I swing downwards and cut him again. He jumps forward, he seems relatively fine. He throws his sword down and pulls out two guns.
"How the hell did you get guns, we're in Japan. Also where did they come from?" I asked annoyed.
"We have ways. Also I keep them in my clothing" Munakata answered. That just made me even more annoyed. Where can you keep guns in your clothes?
He started firing a volley of bullets at me but I shunpoed away. I was able to avoid all the bullets, but when he ran out of them Munakata just pulled out more. How many guns does this guy have? I thought to myself. Either way I avoided all of them. He then pulled out a large razor sharp boomerang, from seemingly nowhere. How does he do that?! I thought again. He threw the boomerang but I jumped over it. He then pulled out a FREAKING bazooka. Does this guy have subspace?! He fired the bazooka while I was in the air, but I jumped again in the air. I dashed towards Munakata and cut him across the chest. Munakata fell over; I had won.
From behind Naze was clapping. "Well done, Ichigo you have unlocked your abnormality. From the looks of it, you seem to tap into your most basic instinct; that includes from when you were a Shinigami." That was great news for me, I had powers again, and even if I was in a human body I still had my powers. "Now all you have to do is name your abnormality."
I thought about it. I thought it was pointless to name it, but I might as well have. It had to be a name that fit with my Shinigami powers, but also me being an abnormal. Then it hit me. Getsuga, the technique I had always used when I was a Shinigami.
"My abnormality is Getsuga Instinct."
(A/N): Well that's another chapter, what do you think? Please leave any comments or reviews below. Also I have a challenge for y'all. Make a picture of Ichigo in the Hakoniwa Academy uniform for the stories' cover art. If you do I'll take one request that is within my ability for my story. Stay tune for next time when Ichigo and Munakata make friends, and Ichigo discovers another aspect of Getsuga Instinct.
