Hey everybody! Hope you enjoy this chapter, sorry for the wait. Until next time.

3rd POV

Morning come like the usual for Akane as she woke up. She slept well last night, no nightmare and not that tired as perusal. Could be her visiting a certain strawberry and soul reaper cease the case. And by the god was she about to throw shuriken at Ichigo when he look like he's about to attack.

Her nightmare, or memory, she didn't know if it was real. But it still there, lingering around her mind ever so to remind her of being something that she wish not to be. The image, the scream and blood, the people… She didn't even know if she truely did kill them or was it just a vision of what she would become. Enough of the nightmare, school is waiting for her and so is her is her new "friend".

Akane prepared and washed herself in the bathroom and changed into her school uniform. She walked out of her room to see Urahara, Tessai, and the two little kids, Jinta and Ururu, all ready with breakfast at the table.

Waving at the them and greeted with a smile. "Morning."

Ururu, the ever so adorable little girl smile shyly at Akane and greeted in her small quiet voice. "Morning Kuran-san."

Urahara waved at the Akane. "Morning, you ready for school?"

"Yep," Akane replied as she sat down at the table, next to Jinta and Tessai.

Jinta, the ever so irate kid he is has to opened his god damn mouth and ruined her mood. "Try not to cause a trouble, since you're already is one."

Akane was irate by his rude remark and ignored it, eating her meal. Urahara and everyone here is so nice and supportive to her. Yoruichi is strange mystery. Why not reveal her true self when it just them here? Or she prefer to be secretive. So she never bug about it.

Akane arrived later, Rukia was long gone before she even know it. Casually walking through school ground and heading into the building. Her thoughts were all blank, her body moved to the classroom.

She opened the door to only shook in surprised at the sudden appearance of the of Orihime and her friends, hands cross to their chest and yelled, "Bwahahaha!" What was even sad that Akane's hand was pulled back to punch the intruder to realised it was just Orihime and her friends. What the hell! She hated that she so jumpy and reflex kicked in to defend or punch the person.

Akane put her hand to her chest to calm her rapid heartbeat. "Don't do that!" She yelled at the group, including poor Orihime that was caught in it.

Akane let out a sigh and apologised to everyone and resuming back to her seat. Sitting their quietly until Keigo walked up to her, follow by Mizuru and did the exact same thing.

"Bwahahaha!"

Akane had the most agitated look on her face and smile. It wasn't a ordinary smile, it was terrifying smile that showed a psychopath is in this room. Her smile stretched further into a cheshire grin, eyes twitching and eyes locked on to the two boys.

The two backed away from the black haired girl. They never imagine the new girl could be so terrifying with a smile.

The heck is going on with everyone do those weird gesture. Akane wondered if it was a mistake being here. Everyone is insane.

Luckily Rukia arrived. Akane was so relief that she was here, another sane person. Just as she was about to greet her she did the same, exact, THING AS EVERYONE.

Just play it cool, just play it cool. From the inside she is cringing so bad. She felt dead inside from seeing this. What has this generation had come to?!

And then the poor orange head, strawberry fell victim to the faze. At least she not suffering alone.

The whole morning was alright to Akane. When the bell rung for recess, she waited and follow Ichigo out of the class. Walking up to him and asked in a bored voice lance with agitation. "What the heck was everyone doing? That weird thingy?"

Ichigo could only sighed and feel the pain he feel. "It that TV show with a man name Don Kanonji, claimed to see spirits and cleanse them. And that thing you saw everyone do? That his Trademark," Ichigo explained to the ninja.

"What?" Was Akane respond. Don Kanonji, what have you done!? You created a paramedic of madness! What has this generation come to?! She doesn't want to live in this world anymore.

Ichigo fave her a look. "You're not going to kill him or you?"

"Who said I was?"

Ichigo had to restrained the ninja from committing act of murder, even though she said she wasn't serious. But he did not listen to her word and restrained her by putting her in a head lock. Then again, she is a ninja and got out. Damn her!

Akane POV

Okay, it wasn't like I have actual intention to kill some guy from a TV show. However, everyone has been annoying with that constant weird thingy that Don Kanonji do! It annoyed me to no end that want to just go back to Urahara's shop. I was so damn close on threatening and telling them to shut up.

I sat across Ichigo, eating my lunch. It was a very awkward silent between us. I had to be the one to break the silent. I started talking, about things of interest. And our conversation start. We talk about likes and dislike, opinions, though argument and disagreement occur at some point. But, it all good and fine. It kinda funny that we have very similar likes and dislike, like coincidentally I was like, "Are you my long lost brother?" I got hit in the head for that comment, doesn't mean I didn't get to kick him in the shin back.

It not like I'm looking for a fight or trouble. Oh, and we avoided everyone like a plague because of that thingymagicgy Don Kanonji.

So went well as perusal for the day. I was now in a good mood after spending time with strawberry. I think we getting close to being good friend. Now, I just need to get to know Rukia and the others better, also I heard that someone is name Chad and is a different nationality, cool.

Studying in class was alright but boring, I blank out a couple of time of how bored I felt being in class. I was never interested in studies back then. But Kuro is like, "You need to have intellect if you want to be tactical." I tried to like concentrate and listen as best as I can.

I didn't know it would be that bad. Everyone is talking about him, Don Kanonji. It suck! It happening everywhere! Get me out of here! I kinda was close on begging Urahara to let me stay back in the shop, but nope, my sheer kindness and will have to go to school won over me.

Ichigo and I, are the only sane people in this school.

Everywhere we go they are there, our even friends even!

What has the world come to?!

When I headed back to Urahara's shop, the blonde man announced. "Tonight we are going to go to the Don Kanonji show." Urahara wasn't done. "Akane, why don't you come with us. I don't want you all coup in this place all alone," he said with that same burgh smile he always wore.

Surprised hit me hard, I could't gasp around. I don't know what to say. I didn't think he would include me to join them when I'm just a stranger or a guest in their home. It gave me a warm feeling, it really nice. I thought I would be even more alone when I only have Ichigo and Rukia, now I have Urahara and the others. I supposed I can give it a go.

I prayed to Kami this is not a mistake.
