Entering hell.
It was early morning in the town of Karakura. The city was starting to get busier on the streets, Magazines were opening for the daily rush and kids getting ready to go to school. At Ichigo's house, Yuzu was always the first one up in the morning, although she was just a child, she had a sense of responsibility as a house keeper, so, she was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast and lunch to her family. Karin was ready to go to school, only waiting for breakfast, and Rukia was ready too, only waiting for Ichigo, who was still sleeping like a baby boy.
– SUPER MEGATON ROCKET REVOLUTIONARY EXTRAORDINARY AND ELEGANT KICK! - This was the scream of Isshin, gently waking up his son.
Ichigo, already used to things like that, fells his instincts shivering his hair up and preparing him to dodge from his father's kick. He dodges and, for the 24th time, the window of his room breaks and Isshin flies out, all spiked with pieces of glass.
- AHHHH! Ichigo, hold daddy or he'll die!
Ichigo makes a super-voleiball player move, throwing his father safely in the backyard and screams:
- Then just die, you old freaking stupid man! - Ichigo screames. He scratches his head and looks at the door, seeing Rukia coming in.
- Ichigo? Your dad broke your window again?
- I can't take that old thing anymore! One day, I will give him a Getsuga Tenshou, that way maybe he will let wake up on my own! And with peace!
- Ichigo?
- What?
- You have terrible dark circles under your eyes!
Ichigo looks at the mirror and tries to remember if someone punched his two eyes, because it sure looked like it.
- I think I didn't sleep so well...
- Are you sure you want to go to school today, Ichigo? We don't have test, I could just bring your lessons and tell the teacher you're sick.
- No way, if I do that...
- NEEEEEEE-SSAAAAANNNN.
Kon jumps from the closet like a predator towards Rukia's breasts.
A punch.
- Borfgh...
A kick.
- Blerfght...
A tread.
- Huohoo...
Rukia crushes the face of Kon on the, for that also happened every day and she didn't need to look anymore to know what to do with that teddy bear plush.
- Ahhhh! The sweet smell of a silky and clean feet smashing my head... It makes me so happy! That's the Nee-san that always treats me with love and affection! I think I... I think I'm so happy that I'm gonna cry!
- What about crying of pain! - says Ichigo, smashing Kon's head.
- Ichifughho take dhose ukkkllyy ffheetts, stinggi fehhtts outch of my zexy head!
- Ugly and stinky is your mother! And since you said that, smell it!
- NooooOOOoooOOOOOooo!- screams Kon.
- Enough Ichigo! If you're going to school, take a quick bath and get your ass on gear or we'll be late!
- Ugh! All right, I'll take a quick bath. - says Ichigo walking towards the bathroom.
- Nee- san saved me from that barbarian again - says Kon rubbing his face on Rukia's leg like an amorous cat.
- Don't worry, Ichigo, I will take care of Kon for you.- says Rukia looking devilish at Kon.
- NooooOOOooOooO! – Screams Kon.
- You got to be kidding me! You really want me to use this, you pedophile demon! - Hisana says, with red eyes of anger pointing to the skirt of the uniform she was wearing, which was so small that she swore that when sitting, if she did not crossed her legs, someone would probably see her uterus.
- This is the standard uniform of the school, Hisa-chan, sorry, not my fault; everybody wears it at this time of the year. Just live with that, this uniform is part of your standard equipment for this mission. - says Urahara with malicious look and funny smile.
- Damn it Urahara, you're having fun, aren't you?
- Of course not, I'm in charge of this mission, I have to act with dignity like every good leader.
- Urahara?
- Yes?
- You know you're dead when I see you, right?
- I know. One more thing, Hisa-chan.
- What?
- This skirt makes your thighs look very good.
- Oh, you son of a ... !
The signal of communication is interrupted.
- IIICCHHIIIIIIGOOOOOOOOO!
A boy with brown short hair comes running like a gazelle through the corridors of the school towards Ichigo and Rukia. Ichigo stops the boy with his iron arm, the boy collides with it and falls to the ground, dizzy.
- Good morning, Keigo. - says Ichigo entering the classroom.
- GoOdm MoRNinG, IchiGo... - says Keigo, still fallen.
- Good morning Mizuiro.
- Good morning Ichigo, Rukia-san.
- Good morning - answers Rukia politely.
- Kurosaki-kun, Kuchiki-san, good morning!
- What's up, Inoue? Good morning. - says Ichigo siting on his chair.
- Good morning, Inoue. - says Rukia, also siting on her chair.
- Hey Ichigo.
- Tatsuki, what's up?
- Chado, Ishida, good morning to you too.
- Good morning - answers Ishida, putting his glasses into place - Kurosaki.
- Hmm. - was the answer of Ichigo, with a nod of the head.
Rukia smiles to both of them, whom smiles back.
- What happened, Ichigo? Why do you have black circles under your eyes? Troubles to sleep? - asks Mizuiro.
- Kind of, no big deal.
- He's just a delinquent, must have spent the night fighting. - says Ishida, provocative.
- What, you...!
Rukia finds the comment funny, Inoue gets worried and Sado smiles.
The bell anouncing the start of the class rings. After a while, the teacher comes in dragging Keigo with her feet, she drops him on the floor and the class starts.
- Great, looks like almost everybody is here today, so, this is the appropriate moment to show you the new student.
- New student? - the classroom replies.
- Yes. Come in, new student. - says the teacher.
She was shy, but with no intention to demonstrate it. With straight posture and long black hair, loose and smooth, Pretty face, brown eyes... With that japanese high school uniform, that young girl looked like a model.
- Wow, she's so beautiful! Looks like a model! - says a student.
- She looks like a TV actress! - says another student.
- Do you want to marry me? - screams a boy from the corner.
- Maybe she's the daughter of a politician. - says a student higher then she intended.
Even Ichigo is enchanted by the beauty of the girl. Sado didn't wanted to show it, but he was as admired as Ichigo was, so was Ishida. Rukia felt strange when looking at her and Inoue knew that person, but didn't mentioned it, she was just waiting an opportunity to make it.
The whispers continues, until the teacher orders it to stop.
- ENOUGH! Let the new student present herself before you say anything, you savages!
Silence.
- All right, darling, you may present yourself now.
Hisana looks at the teacher encouraging her, than she decides to start.
- Nice to meet you, my name is Matsuda Hisa, I have been transferred from a college in another city because of my father's work. I hope we can be great friends, for that I'm counting on you.
- Count on my arms, my legs and whatever you want from me! - says Keigo, seeing Hisa by angles envied by any man.
Hisana notices that Keigo wasn't looking at her face and, of course, she knew he was Keigo.
- Hisa-san, you can seat... behind Ichigo. - says the teacher pointing at the chair.
- OK, thank you teacher. - Hisana goes towards her seat, without forgetting to step on Keigo's stomach by "accident".
- Ouch, my stomach...!
- If you don't get up and go sit on your seat immediately, it won't be just your stomach that will be hurting! - says the teacher, making Keigo hurry to his seat.
Hisana greets everyone she passes by.
- Hello, uh... Ichigo-kun?
- 'llo, sit, make yourself comfortable.
- Thank you, excuse me.
- So, let's get this class officially started. Open your books on page 134 ...
Hisana couldn't believe it, but she had just infiltrated in the classroom with complete success! It was unbelievable to be there, surounded by the people who had seen her as a baby and even more unbelievable, she was right behind her...
- Father...
She had thought that a little higher than she expected.
- Hm? You called me, Matsuda-san?
She startled.
- Me? No, Ichigo-san, you must have heard something. - she says, covering her words - By the way, I not a big fan of formalities in the classroom, so, if we'll be friends, call me Hisa.- Hisana smiles while talking, trying to aliviate her own tension.
- Hmm... Well, call me Ichigo.
- I know she's beautiful and any young man with hormones on fire would fall in love with her, but I think it's time for the couple to settle down and pay more attention to the class, right, Ichigo?
Both of them blushed.
- No! I was just presenting myself to her! - says Ichigo, embarrassed.
- And I was just greeting Ichigo! - says Hisana, also embarrassed.
- That's cute, now look here! - says the teacher staring the two of them with a deadly look.
- Yes, ma'am! - answers Ichigo and Hisana at the same time.
That's great, Hisana! The class barely started and you're already drawing attention to yourself! - she tought, hoping she didn't draw the attention of the wrong person. She looks aside. Rukia was staring her and when she notices the look of Hisana, she looks away. - Oh, great, now my mother is jealous of me and my own father! I deserve this...- thinks Hisana, with her hands supporting her worried head and eyes looking ahead, pretending to listen to the teacher.
The bell announcing break rings and an army of students surrounds Hisana.
- Hisa-san, how old are you?
- Are you a model? And daughter of some politician?
- Do you have a boyfriend?
- Do you want to hang with us, Hisa-san?
- Kurosaki doesn't like women, be with me, Hisa-san!
Those were too many question, some of them were better to stay without an answer. She needed to escape from that situation, so she had a great idea.
- Inoue-san! It's you! I didn't see you!
Inoue looks at Hisana with a smile. - Hello, Hisa-san, I wasn't expecting you, 'cause you said...
Hisana hurries and grabs Inoue by her arm and leaves the classroom with her. - Wow! I missed you dear, feels like I only saw you yesterday!
- But Hisa-san, you did saw me yesterday...
- So you see how much I missed you!
- ?
The two exit the classroom, leaving everybody disappointed. Ichigo, Sado and Rukia supposes that she's and old friend of Inoue so they don't care much about the theater, but Ishida feels that there's something strange about the new girl and he decides to follow the two of them, along with Tatsuki.
Inoue and Hisana stop to have a talk in the most desert place of the school.
- Hisa-san? What happened? Why did you act like that, all of a suden?
- Inoue-san, I know that it was very impolite, and I'm deeply sorry, but it was the only way to get out of that questionnaire room and you are the only person I know in here... I'm truly sorry.
- No problem, but... Hisa-san, what are you doing in school?
Hisana had practiced the answer for that question the whole night, she knew it perfectly.
- Inoue-san, I will tell you one thing, but I need you to keep it a secret, okay?
- Okay, I guess...
- All right, look, actually, last night I was looking for Kurosaki-kun, but not because I'm his "fan", it's just because I'm in a mission to protect him. - this sentence was not a lie but it wasn't the truth either.
Inoue gets worried.
- Protect him? From what ?
- It may sound crazy, but you know that Kurosaki-kun is very powerful and he's the famous "shinigami substitute" that we all heard about. And some of my superior sources confirmed that there are a bunch of people hunting that power, that's why they sent me on a mission to watch him and, if it's necessary, protect him, until we can have sure that he is safe and finally conclude the mission.
- But you're alone, Hisa-san?
- Yes, that's why it's very important to keep it all a secret.
- I get it, but what can I do to help? Kurosaki-kun is my friend!
- For now, I need you to help me with my disguise, so that I can complete the mission without much complications, but if I need something else, I'll be counting on you Inoue-san.
- You can trust me Hisa-san!
- Stop calling me 'Hisa-san'. It'd embarrassing to be called by a friend like that.- says Hisana, looking at Inoue.
- Oh, but 'Hisa-san' combines more with you. - says Inoue, smiling.
Hisana smiles back. - Okay, then.
Hisana thanked heavens for Inoue believing everything she said and, because it was all about Ichigo, Hisana was sure that Inoue would do everything just the way she told her to. While she was thinking about that, a voice surprises them both:
- Inoue-san, is everything all right? - Ishida says.
- Ishida-kun! Tatsuki-chan!- says Inoue, surprised.
- Maybe now you're ready to present your new friend to us, right, Oirihime? - says Tatsuki, with a tone of jealousy.
- Tatsuki-chan, Ishida-kun, this is Matsuda Hisa-chan, we have been friends for a while...
- And why did you never told me about her, Orihime?
- Because... Well, because... Ahn...
- Because as I said when I introduced myself to the classroom, my father travels a lot and, because of that, I often lose contacts with lots of friends. However, when I came back here, I was very glad to find my dearest friend Inoue-san. - says Hisana, who was becoming a very good liar.
Tatsuki thinks for a while.
- I see. Welcome aboard then, Hisa. - Tatsuki reaches out her hand to greet Hisana.
- Thank you, Tatsuki-san. - says Hisana, shaking hands with Tatsuki.
Ishida watches the situation, still bothered with the new student, but he shakes her hand anyway.
Tatsuki invites Hisana for lunch and all of Inoue's friends are too invited, including Rukia, as always; all of them wanting to know the new student. Hisana was getting better and better at lying, she was mastering at lying, she could do it even when Rukia was around - and she did it pretty good.
A throat opens at the skies above the town of Karakura and, from the darkness, Fisus and Granus appeared.
The throat closes.
- So, that's how Karakura looks like? Disgusting. - says Granus.
- Don't waste your time with insignificant details, search for her immediately. - Orders Fisus.
- Yes, sir!
They use the "research" ability to try to find Hisana, but she was not on the map.
- What do we do, now? - asks Granus.
- The obvious: we call her. – answers Fisus with a diabolic smile.
- So you mean I'll be the first to play?
- Exactly, kill those worms and Hisana will show up.
- It will be just like a playground!
- C'mon, they are over that direction.
The two flied towards Karakura school.
Ichigo, Sado, Ishida, Rukia, Inoue and Hisana feel the spiritual presence far from there.
Ishida, Ichigo and Sado, who were together, when they felt the enourmous reiatsu, they started running towards it.
- What reiatsus are those?!- Screams Ichigo running and picking a pill from his pocket.
- Kurosaki, we must be careful, those reiatsus are not normal! - says Ishida, also running at full speed.
Sado was accompanying them with a serious look on his face.
Ichigo uses Kon to take over his body.
- Kon, take care of my body for me!
- Roger! - as Kon was feeling the reiatsu too, he did not think it would be appropriated to make a joke.
Rukia and Inoue also feel the reiatsu, and as she had Chappy to take over her body, Rukia warned Inoue as a shinigami that she would go together with Ichigo.
- Inoue, I'll go ahead, you try to keep up with us soon. - Rukia says, flying away.
- Uhmmm, I think I drank a lot of juice. Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom. - says Inoue, standing up.
- I'll take this chance to go with you, Inoue-san, after all, I don't know the whole school yet. - Hisana says.
Both left their friends waiting and ran towards the reiatsu force.
- Are those the reiatsus that want to harm Kurosaki-kun?
- Yes, we must hurry Inoue-san!
- Right!
"Beep, beep, beep." Hisana's communicator rings.
- Hisa-san, they're here. - says the communicator.
- I've noticed, and I'm on my way with Inoue!
Inoue looks at Hisana, who was talking to someone Inoue could not hear, and could not understand what she was talking about.
- You should not go now, Hisa-chan. - warns Urahara.
- Have you gone out of your mind? Of course I SHOULD go!
- No! That's what they want, Hisa-san! If you show yourself to them, they will send their most powerfull comandads!
Hisana stoped running and Inoue stopped too, wondering if everything was all right.
- But they will not make it!
- The enemies are class five! Of course they can make it.
- And what is the logic of staying here doing nothing? Class five or not, it won't change the fact that someday he will send all his comandads after me! The fact that there are two comandads here means that they already know I'm somewhere near this place!
- Kurosaki Hisana! I order you to not interfere in this battle, or I'll bring you back!
Hisana knows that Urahara was rarely angry and, when she hears her full name pronounced by him, she knows it would be better not to discuss with him. So, she stays quiet.
- Hisa-san, please ,try to understand... We can't put our last chance to fix things in the bravery balance. - says Urahara gloomily.
That sentence hurts Urahar's heart, because he knows what the young Hisana had been trough.
He sighs.
- Fine Hisa-san, 30 minutes. That's all the time I need to create what's need to erase your spiritual trace and create a dimensional damn. That shall make you free to do what you have to, but until then, don't you dare to interfere in that battle! It was not a joke what I said before, AND YOU KNOW IT!
Hisana smiles.
- All right, I'll wait it out, but do it quickly!
Communication ends.
- Inoue-san, I need your help. I need 30 minutes to make something very important, until then, try to help Ichigo!
- Yes, Hisa-san, but be careful. We'll be waiting for you.
- Don't say anything that would denounce my presence, don't forget what we talked about.
- I won't. - says Inoue running again. - Good luck Hisa-san!
- Same to you! - screams Hisana.
Hisana watches Inoue leaving. She looks at the watch on her pulse and marks a countdown of 30 minutes. She feels the reiatsu of everyone going towards the enemy.
- Please, don't die! - said Hisana to the wind.
To be continued...
