Track 2: People are Strange
A couple of hours passed since Ichigo arrived at the school, and he swore he was dozing off a number of times. Luckily, this was after the orange head had finished his final exam, so at least sleep didn't have many consequences, that is until...
"IT'S FINALLY OVER AND I'M SO DEAD!" Another student with short reddish brown hair cried in an over the top and overly dramatic way.
Another student with black hair, who appeared meek, quietly laughed. "It looks like complete crap, Keigo, though I did no better."
Ichigo, sighs in annoyance being awakened from his third attempt of a nap. "It's not the end of the world, these exams don't dictate your life."
"HELL YEAH! That's right Ichigo, we can all share the pain of being morons!" Keigo cheered in delight before their shared friend with black hair quietly answered.
"You really should say that after seeing the results."
"What do you mean Mizuro?" The red head questioned Mizuro before pulling a sheet of paper.
"These are the results..."
"Hey, they only show the top fifty on this list, so it's not like any of us would make it the top ten or twenty, especially Ichigo."
"And now I'm not going to feel sorry about this..." The tallest of the three thought while feeling his blood pressure rise.
Outside at the school's gate...
"So, you are a new student and this guy here has been transferred from another school?" A tall male teacher with short black hair and matching mustache, holding a wooden sword, frowned as C.C. told him the obvious lie.
"Yes, and we would like to settle in our classroom right away." The girl answered much to Lelouch's dismay.
"There's no way this is going to work, she should have thought of this before grabbing the uniform...Wait, where did she get it from anyway?"
A couple minutes before this, the two were scouting their new surroundings when the teacher noticed them and began questioning the duo, pegging Lelouch as a punk who's skipping class with to be alone with his fellow Offworlder.
"I should've commanded him to let us be but then that would have caused another problem..." The black haired teen scowled as the principal, with Gray hair styled as spikes on both sides of his head and oddly the same facial hair, was outside at the time, though he didn't really seem actually to be bothered about this.
"Now, Now, Kagine, you really shouldn't get in a frenzy if a couple plays hooky once in a blue moon."
'SIR! I have never seen their faces before in this school, so why are you defending them!?" Kagine cried in dismay. "Besides, I doubt these two know any of the staff here, so why would they..."
However ... .Keigo's scream of doom could be heard all the way from the classroom!
"HOW ARE YOU IN THE EIGHTEEN SPOT, YOU TRAITOR!?"
This caught the physical teacher off guard, just enough for Lelouch to drag C.C. into the school building.
The green haired witch, being clever, told the Principal. "We're in the same class as that screaming person!"
"Ah, that would be Ochi-Sensei's class, fair enough for me..."
"S-SIR!?" The teacher cried out in defeat.
Upon entering the building, the exiled Britannian had to catch his breath. "I really need to exercise more..." He thought while gasping for air, before his fellow offworlder walked towards a certain classroom.
"This door has the teacher's name.."
"Huh?" Lelouch looked up to see it's at least nearby, though they both heard some more screaming from Keigo.
"YOU DAMN NERD! I INVITED YOU TO HANG OUT AND ALL THAT TIME YOU WERE STUDYING?!'
This made him think of one of the few Britannian classmates at Ashford that he was actually friends with. "...Kind of reminding me of Rivalz." Lelouch chuckled quietly before sensing a sinister presence from someone else.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." The boy froze, not too sure if he should opened the door.
"Are you going in?" The green haired girl asked.
"I really don't have a choice here, do I?" He sighs as he continued to reach door handle but if he was going to be completely honest, it was out of morbid curiosity than anything els
Opening the door, they were greeted by the strange sight of Keigo wearing some cartoony glasses inches away from the orange haired youth.
"I'll give you these nerdy glasses as a peace offering!" Before being punched in the face by the Orange haired teen.
"Not Interested!"
With that, The red haired teen was rolling in pain a few inches from their feet, Moaning in pain...
"They were a present!"
"And I thought Reiichi was going to do the oddest thing I witnessed here..."
C.C. seemed to think the same but just hopped over the rolling Keigo with the teen not noticing either of the new students, Ichigo and Mizuro continued their talk with their friend joining in for another joke, switching the broken glasses for a nerdy headband, only for the orange head to cut it with scissors, slightly cutting him before Keigo again rolled on the ground acting very over dramatic.
However, a minute later another student, a small girl with black hair wearing the school uniform ran in and dragged Ichigo with her. "KUROSAKI-KUN! COME WITH ME FOR A SECOND!" The girl demanded while the boy protested.
Neither of them notice Lelouch was watching. "Something about this feels..." The dark haired teen turned his attention back to C.C., who was speaking with the teacher, a woman with rounded glasses and brown hair tied to a ponytail. "...Familiar.."
"Yeah, She's going to be the death of me..."
However, since he was close to the windows, he noticed Ichigo and the girl running off, with the orange head wearing black robes and wielding a massive blade on his back. "Wait, how did he change outfits so fast?
Around 5:30 PM
"Hhmm?" A younger girl around fourteen with long and curly light brown hair and wearing a pink school uniform yawned as her eyes opened, noticing a tan ceiling.
"Where am ... .WAIT, did I open my eyes?!" She panicked in her mind before rising out from the floor causing another realization shook her to the girl's core.
"I just stood up..." She gasped
Normally, this would make the girl cheer but the youth couldn't shake the feeling that something isn't right. Checking her surroundings, the small girl noticed the room wasn't anything she could recognize from the last time she had sight. Gone were the European influences of their home country of Britannia but of a culture that she was only told about by a friend.
"Suzaku and Lelouch told me how a Japanese room looked but to see one..."The room itself wasn't fancy or anything special but wasn't in bad shape either, however, she snapped back to her current situation, approaching the sliding door.
"Well...here we go.." The girl thought in concern before sliding it open to reveal a giant of a man with cornrowed dark hair and matching large handlebar mustache with his eyes covered by a simple pair of glasses, his clothing consisting of a white muscle shirt and regular pants covered by a blue apron.
To say the least, the girl was taken back by this man's sudden appearance.
"HE'S A GIANT!" She thought in her mind while keeping herself from screaming the very same words.
"Ah, you're awake!"
"U-Ummm, yes." The girl was scared out of her mind until another man's voice echoed out from behind.
"Yikes, Tessai, I think you gave the poor girl a heart attack."
The voice had a relaxed tone as Tessai moved away. Behind the giant, was a man with short blonde shaggy hair underneath a green and white hat, wearing an olive colored over shirt with matching robes and on his feet were clog
"Anyway, glad you woke up, kiddo."
"...Thanks..I'm sorry, I hate to be rude but..." The girl was interrupted.
"Hey, it's not a big deal, anyway, you're in my shop of random goods located in Karakura Town."
The man cheerfully laughed, much to the youth's concern.
"Karakura town? Did I awaken in the Ghettos? No, I don't think so, these two don't seem to have any ill will towards me..."
"...Anyway...I actually need a favor, just a simple delivery for a friend of mine...They should be at this location, and then I'll answer any questions you have..." The man explained.
"I guess it would be alright..." She answered quickly, mostly for her own curiosity and so she can see how far she can walk before giving out.
"That's good to hear!" The blonde cheered before handing the girl a small box.
"Oh right, what's your name, young lady?"
"I am Nunnally Lamperouge." She answered.
"Hmm, a foreigner? Anyway, just look for a guy with orange spiky hair and a girl with black hair and tell them that Urahara sent you." The relaxed man answered as he sent Nunnally on her way.
As she was leaving, Tessai asked his old friend. "Are you sure she'll be alright..."
"I wouldn't worry too much, besides, when she first fell into our shop...I could sense that she has Spiritual Pressure."
5:40 PM
It was ten minutes since Nunnally left the store, looking for the two Urahara told her about. A part of her was becoming tired but still had some childlike wonder as being able to walk and see once again was what kept her to continue. "...I can't believe I am able to walk again...and to see everything in the world after being blind for so long, it's amazing!"
However, she noticed the sky starting to change to dusk and thought aloud.
"I need to focus...If I keep aimlessly walking, I won't ever find..."
"There's no hollow again?!" A male's voice echoed out.
Upon hearing the voice, Nunnally found the duo she was searching for up ahead.
"Those must be the two...Wait, am I seeing double of the same person?" She thought to herself before approaching the arguing Rukia and Ichigo, with the orange head in his Shinigami uniform.
"Shut Up, Hurry up and get back to your body.." The dark haired girl begins to command with Ichigo's spirit returning back to its empty vessel.
To say the least, this was awkward for everyone involved...
"W-What did I just see?" The girl from Britannia was shaken up a bit but then there was Ichigo, who was freaking out the most.
"YOU SAW NOTHING! IT WAS JUST A MAGIC ACT, OKAY?!"
However, Rukia noticed the small box that Nunnally was carrying. "Well that explains much..." The dark haired girl sighs before taking the box, much to the male's aggravation.
"DON'T JUST TAKE RANDOM THINGS FROM STRANGERS, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?
"Calm yourself Kurosaki-Kun, she's from Urahara's...she knows our situation..."
"...Situation?" Nunnally questioned much to the duo's confusion.
Before diving into any more details, another male's voice echoed through the street, in a serious tone. "Fighting among yourselves and getting others involved, this is typical of the Shinigami."
The trio turned their attention up ahead to see a black hair boy wearing glasses, wearing a robe and pants colored white with blue accents approaching them. "Good evening, Kurosaki-Kun, Kuchiki-san."
"Who are you, those are some weird clothes..." Ichigo questioned
"..Is he a priest?" Nunnally thought to herself before the mysterious newcomer continued.
"and how do you know our names?" Rukia demanded before being ignored by the mysterious teen as he had a question for Ichigo.
"Kurosaki-Kun, you can see spirits, correct?"
"Spirits?" The brown haired girl was even more confused though Ichigo tried to play dumb before the priest spoke aloud with Nunnally sensing a kind of Pressure from somewhere close by.
"A new Hollow is here."
After this was said, the cell phone and the device in the delivery box cried out an alarm. "An order! It's really here!" Rukia cried out.
"Which way?!" Ichigo asked before Nunnally pointed at the location.
"I can feel something coming from over there."
"Huh?" The orange head asked much to the annoyance of the glasses-wearing teen before the youngest of the four realized she was pointing at a flying beast with a white skull mask just floating at the next street.
"W-What is that...?!" She cried out.
"Even though she has no idea what Hollows are, The foreigner has a higher level of understanding than you...and you call yourself a Shinigami?" The teen mocked in disgust before pointing his right hand at the location with Ichigo noticing a bracelet with a cross on his arm.
With a second, blue energy manifested from the bracelet to form a bow and arrow as the teen took aim at the beast with the monster not even noticing the four.
"SHII!" The energy arrow was shot out and The Hollow was vanquished with both Rukia's phone and the replacement phone stopping their in sync ringings.
To say the trio were shocked but for different reasons would be an understatement.
For Rukia, the male was from a race she was told were vanquished as well as Urahara's new help.
For Nunnally, it was being in a world with spirits and of untold dangers.
However, Ichigo spoke out in his own confusion.
"What the hell are you?"
The other male answered. "Ishida Uryuu, a Quincy who despises Shinigami..."
"What...Did you say?"
Uryuu coldly explained.
"Don't you get it? For being a Shinigami, I hate you."
After this was said, the archer began to walk away.
"You just can't..."
"Ichigo, we have another problem..." Rukia interrupted. Looking back, the orange haired Shinigami saw Nunnally shaking from the stress, almost becoming sick.
"Hey, are you going be okay?" The male cried out.
"Y-yes, I-I just need to rest..." Her attempts to stay awake began to fade before completely falling over.
"You should get her to your dad's clinic, I believe it's just stress but it's better to have a second opinion."
"Yeah..." Ichigo sighs as he lifts her onto his back, though he knows he will be catching hell from his Father's attics and Karin's mockery, it's a thousand times better than just leaving her here for anything to find her...Especially the Hollows.
As he carried the poor girl through the street, he heard her whimpering. "...Older...Brother...Lelouch.."
To be continue!
