The idea was to get Medaka Kurokami to join the Flask Plan's Front Six as peacefully as possible, but then Oudo only made things worse. He had pretty much challenged the Student Council to a fight. So with the Medaka Kurokami as their enemy the Front Six prepared for the worst. They still made Medaka becoming their ally a top priority, they would not hesitate to fight.

At this point Ichigo was in a state of unease. The girl they were going up against was a monster. A monster worse than any Hollow he had faced before. It was a combination of Shinigami sensing and Hollow instincts that made him feel this way. Medaka Kurokami was not human, not in the least. So naturally Ichigo was concerned about his new friends.

'I really need to learn to not worry so much' Ichigo thought to himself. 'Even if she is only wearing the skin of a human, it's still a human body, and she is still just a regular Abnormal. Plus everyone can take care of themselves. I have to learn that everyone is a capable fighter, and they can fight for themselves.'

"Ichigo, is everything alright" said a monotone voice Ichigo recognized. It was Munakata.

"Oh, yeah just fine" Ichigo replied leaping of the infirmary bed he was lying down on. In Ichigo's time in the Flask Plan, whenever he had spare time he would just lay down and think in one of Naze's hospital beds. "I just have a bad feeling about Kurokami."

"What about the other one?" Munakata asked.

"What 'other one'" Ichigo replied.

"Zenkichi Hitoyoshi, the General Affairs Manager for the Student Council is confirmed to accompanying Medaka Kurokami" Munakata answered.

'Zenkichi Hitoyoshi that sounds familiar' Ichigo thought to himself. 'Aw no use forcing it.'

(O)

As the Student Council descended into the Clock Tower, Takachiho waited for their arrival. He would be the first one to face the Student Council. As he waited he contemplated the words Ichigo had left him with.

"Don't let your guard down for a second, I may not know about anyone one else but Medaka Kurokami is a monster."

'Che, don't worry about me' Takachiho thought to himself. 'The only one who can hit me is you Ichigo.' As Takachiho thought to himself, he heard it. A huge 'la' sound. It was one of the Student Council members. Apparently the whole Council had come, not just Kurokami and Hitoyoshi. 'Now this will be interesting' Takachiho thought to himself.

"Tres bien! Since this is the first floor, a lot of guys pass through here" Takachiho stated, making his presence known to the Student Council. "But you're the first to use that method to get through." The Student Council turned their heads to meet Takachiho. Their eyes filled with surprise and fear. "Don't be so cold saying you're going to the closest staircase. Oh yeah I'm 13 Party's Takachiho."

Zenkichi Hitoyoshi and Kouki Akune had dashed towards him, but using his reflexes Takachiho had dodged them. With his speed it had seemed as if Takachiho had just teleported away from them. Zenkichi and Akune were dumbfounded by this.

"Since you came here for the express purpose of checking things out, take your time to look it all over. We were told by the chairman to welcome you all" Takachiho continued.

Zenkichi was astonished by this. "Wha…what was that?" he questioned. He easily dodged the Destroyer mode Akune-senpai and the powered up me! 'No, it's more like we were the ones who avoided him' Zenkichi thought to himself.

"Welcome? You mean to test us right? I remember seeing your face. You were the one in the Chairman's room trying to provoke me" Medaka stated.

"Provoke? You mean this" Takachiho taunted, holding her hair band, and glasses. It was a sign of force, a classic tactic to scare the enemy. The thing was though Medaka was genuinely surprised. "Let me properly introduce myself, Kurokami Medaka, I'm 13 Party's Hard Wrapping, Takachiho Shigusa. I'm the man when it comes to battling. If you want to pass, you're going to have to beat me first."

"That's fine with me, Takachiho-senpai. I'll help you out in your little test. I also wanted to test out how much I powered up!"

Chapter 29-32 later

After the bloody confrontation with Takachiho the student council continued down. They faced another large door. Beyond this door though was the deadliest of the 13 Party, watering flowers strangely enough. Munakata was thinking back to what Ichigo had told him before.

"Munakata, I need to tell you something" Ichigo said.

"What is it" Munakata naturally replied.

"Be careful, I have a bad feeling" Ichigo answered.

For the first time in his life, someone had shown concern for Munakata. He had always driven people away in order to keep them safe, but now there was someone who was looking out for his safety. It was a warm sensation he had never felt before.

"Do not worry, I will not die" Munakata replied.

"Then give it all you got. Good luck man." Another thing no one had said to him, words of encouragement. Truly having a friend was a great thing. As Munakata thinks the doors open, and he readies himself.

Chapter 33-37 later

After the fight with Munakata the student council continued onward. Waiting for the perfect opportunity was Naze and Koga. They were in the zoo coming up with their plan. While Naze was perfectly fine and cool, Koga was thinking about what Ichigo had said to them.

"Naze, Koga, I need to talk for a bit" Ichigo had said.

"What do you need" Naze had replied bluntly.

"When I first encountered Kurokami, I sensed something. She had a very similar spiritual pressure to you Naze-san" Ichigo had answered.

"Hmm, strange" Naze replied nonchalantly. To someone like Ichigo who didn't know Naze he took what she said at face value, but to Koga it was she was more perceptive. She not only knowing Naze since middle school, but also being in love with her, knew something deeper was happening.

"Well just thought I would warn you, 've been doing that with everyone, kind of seems repetitive when I think about it" Ichigo continued.

"Well whatever, I got things to do" Naze replied, leaving Ichigo with Koga. But as Koga was starting to leave Ichigo grabbed her hand.

"Wait" Ichigo had said. "I may not know Naze all that well, but I do know when people lie to me. You are her best friend, and I am her friend, so I want you to help keep an eye on whatever secret she may be hiding" Ichigo explained to Koga.

Koga was actually touched by this. He only knew Naze and her for so long, yet he was concerned. She knew Naze would hate it if she knew someone cared for her, but Koga was happy.

"Okay, I will keep that in mind" Koga replied with vigor. "Nothing bad will happen to Naze-chan as long as I am around!"

Chapter 37-55 later

"I'm sorry" Oudo Miyakonoujo said, bowing in front of Medaka. Everyone was shocked by this, but relieved the fight was over. But the thing was, it wasn't.

"Now our work here is done!" Medaka exclaimed.

"Actually it's not" a new voice had echoed. By instinct looking up, it was an orange-haired teenager walking on air.

"Kurosaki Ichigo" Oudo whispered.

"Who is that!?" Akune cried out.

"I feel like I've seen him before" Zenkichi had said.

"I don't know" Maguro replied. "He wasn't in the 13 Party when I was around."

"Right, that is the newest member of the 13 Party, 2nd year Ichigo Kurosaki, codename Shinigami" Naze explained.

"No matter, if he insist on fighting I will be more than happy to oblige" Medaka exclaimed.

After seeing everything she had done, Ichigo's blood was boiling. All of her actions, every word she spoke, al made him red with fury, though he didn't know why. He had drawn his sword, and shunpoed right behind Medaka. Everyone was wide-eyed by his speed. As he swung his sword Medaka had jumped in the air to avoid him. Ichigo followed by shunpoing up to her. He swung at her chest, but she had blocked with her arms. He recovered and made to stab her, but she had grabbed the blade with the palm of her hands. She threw the sword up, Ichigo still holding the handle, and punched him in the stomach. Luckily that strange blood, reiatsu trick kicked in.

"Naze-san what is Kurosaki's abnormality?" Akune had asked, Medaka and Ichigo still batteling.

"His skill is called Getsuga Instinct, a skill that allows him to accesses the skills that are normally instinctual" Naze answered.

"But no human can fly and teleport like that can they?" Kikajima asked.

"In normal cases no, if anyone else had that ability it wouldn't change them much. But Ichigo is different."

"How so?" Zenkichi asked.

"Ichigo is not a normal human. He was originally a substitute-shinigami" Naze explained.

"Substitute-shinigami?" Maguro replied, confused.

"Yes, in this world Shinigami exist. They purify corrupted souls, and bring lost souls to the afterlife. Ichigo is a human who gained the powers of a Shinigami" Naze continued to explain.

"How did that happen? That sounds like the plot to a total different story?" Zenkichi asked, whilst yelling.

"It would take too long to properly explain" Naze replied.

Ichigo was now striking Medaka with a flurry of slashes, Medaka countering with punches to the edge of the blade. She was bleeding, but recovering at an amazing rate. Ichigo knocked Medaka off her balancing with a feint, and kicked her to the ground.

"Medaka-chan!" Zenkichi cried in concern. Medaka was fine though. She starred at Ichigo, still floating in the air, standing on it as it seems.

"2nd year Kurosaki Ichigo, I must ask why you come at me with such malice" Medaka asked.

"You strut in her, trying to destroy everything we worked for, and hurt my friends, I cannot forgive you!" Ichigo yelled.

"No, tell me the real reason" Medaka replied. "I know hurting your friends has made you feel great rage, but your blade. Your blade tells me something deeper, you are mad at me for a much deeper reason!"

He couldn't take it anymore. "I hate you. I hate everything about you. The way you talk, the way you act, it makes me so damn mad!" he said dashing down to her. "The take everything on by yourself attitude, it reminds me too much of me!" He swung the sword down, but Medaka punched it, breaking it.

"2nd year Kurosaki Ichigo, I do not think I can do anything by myself. I am a beast who cannot do anything by itself. I depend on people so much it hurts. I depend on them to keep me human. Without them I am a monster. I do not know the way you acted before, I don't know who you were before, but now you are Ichigo Kurosaki, 2nd year student of Hakoniwa Academy's class 13-2. And no matter how you were in the past, you are who you are right now."

Ichigo was now on his knees. He had hated her so much. She was exactly like he was. Taking everything on herself because she could not trust the people supporting her to fight and defend themselves. He hated the way he treated everyone, not giving them a chance, not trusting them, not doing anything with them. He saw his former self, the self he was before the Flask Plan, in Medaka. But from what she said, he understood. He did rely on his friends, not in a physical sense, but in the sense that he needed them for emotional support. They kept me sane, they kept me human.

"I really hate you. You do the same thing I did, the whole 'tell someone the truth' thing" Ichigo looked up to Medaka. "But you are right. I just need to keep on with the now. I concede."

And thus the 13th party incident was over. But Ichigo's adventure at Hakoniwa was not over, because a true demon like no other awaits.
