Laura tried to open her eyes but her eyelids felt like lead. Eventually she opened her eyes to see a dark skinned and dark haired man laying on top of her, before he could say anything she hit the man as hard as she could. "What the hell were you doing laying on me you old pervert!" Laura yelled as a pain shot through her abdomen. "I suggest that you don't move so much you will reopen your wounds." A voice calmly said. Laura turned to find the voice had come from a man who had his face covered by a mess of blonde hair and his green and white hat. Laura saw the man who she had punched crawl over to the blonde man. Now that she had some what calmed down she gotten a better look at the man. He had a clean cut mustache that was the same color as his hair, he also had a pair of broken glasses Laura assumed that was because of her. " Mister Kisuke, I'm sorry, I know you told me to get you when she woke up but she punched me before I could yell for you." The mustache man stated with some sadness in his voice, the blonde haired man referred to as Kisuke just smiled down at him. "It's fine Tessai, just next time we have an unconscious guest I don't recommend you lay on top of them." Kisuke said as he whipped out a fan to cover the large grin plastered on his face. As the mustache man referred to as Tessai got off the ground Laura noticed that the man was actually quite tall and muscular. "Tessai why don't you go make some tea for our guest?" Kisuke asked only getting a acknowledging grunt from Tessai as he left. "so your a soul?" Kisuke said as he sat next to Laura, Laura looked at the man questioningly. She wasn't sure if she could trust him, noticing that she was hesitating to talk Kisuke continued "I assume you have seen the monsters and the people that fight them?". Laura looked up quickly and Kisuke acknowledged the action. "can you tell me every thing that happened before you passed out?" he asked in a soft tone, " first things first where the hell am I" Laura questioned. with a sigh Kisuke responded " if i tell you will you tell me what happened to you?". she thought for a moment, that seemed fair. "alright, that seems fair but only if you tell me where i am first." Laura argued, "fine, your in one of my guest rooms in a shop i own called Urahara's shop. Now you" he informed. alright fair was fair, she began to explain about her death and every thing leading up to meeting the strange orange haired Ichigo, only stopping when Tessai had come back to the room with tea. the thought about Ichigo caused her to go wide eyed,"shit, Ichigo he could be hurt or dead. I got to go find him! " She said as she ran for the door but Tessai stepped in front of her. "no need to worry Miss Thompson." Kisuke stated as he patted the ground next to him. "but Ichigo is out there with those monsters he could be hurt or dead!" Laura argued, Kisuke only smiled and stated "there are some things that I need to explain you."

After dropping off the girl at Urahara's place, Blackberry (A/N this is what i want to call Ichigo's hollow) decided to flash step to the park. he then heard the sound of a hollow with a slight groan of annoyance he when to depose of it, until his hand reached up to pull his mask off. "Nooo, why can't you just die!" Blackberry cried as the mask as Ichigo finally regained control of his body. breathing heavily Ichigo stopped in his tracks after hearing the sound of a hollow, he sighed and continued to run in the hollow's direction.

After he defeated the hollow and when back to his school to find his body in the school infirmary. when he returned to his body actually startling some of the school nurses as he suddenly got up, the nurses wanted to keep him over night but all Ichigo wanted to do was go to his house and go to bed. after an argument the nurses giving up in the end and at lest checking his vitals they allowed him to go home. as he walked through the door Ichigo was welcomed home by his dad with a kick to the face which Ichigo had dodged causing his dad to slam smack dab into the front door. as Ichigo began to clime the stairs he could hear his sister Yuzu tell him welcome home. he turned and gave her a small smile, "thanks, Yuzu" he said in a some what happy tone. He then continued to clime the stairs to his room.
