His day would have been hollow free if not for his hollow badge to go off during class. He was grateful other people couldn't hear it, but it made him look like a fool whenever he reacted to it.

Ichigo held up his hand, "Can I go to the bathroom?"

"Mr. Kurosaki, do you have a balder problem? This is the third time this month."

"Y-Yes..."

People snickered around him as the teacher quieted them down. "Well just tell me next time. Make it a quick one."

Ichigo nodded and dashed out of the room. One he was outside he exited out his body and set it aside where hopefully no one would find it. The hollow was just there, but suddenly disappeared. Ichigo growled in annoyance.

Every time his hollow badge would go off he would barely exit out of his body and suddenly the hollow is just gone. "Who the hell keeps killing these hollows before I can even cut them?"

A slight spiritual pressure entered into his range, it was powerful but not too powerful to be a threat. Ichigo locked onto it and flash-step from house to house, keeping up with the spirit. When it came into rang the first thing he saw was... ears?

"Huh?" Ichigo said a bit too loud, "what the hell are cat ears doing on that person?!"

Your ears twitched to Ichigo's voice as you turned around. Ichigo had to admit, you were really cute to him and he just wanted to pet those ears... feel how soft they were. You smiled and flash-stepped over to him. "Hia!"

Ichigo took a step back in surprise. "What the hell are you?"

"Haven't you heard about us? I'm a neko, half human and half cat."

He blinked, so confused and lost for words. "I didn't things like that really existed"

"Well I'm living proof! So deal with it!" You flipped your hair back, letting your ear twitch more. "Aren't I awesome?"

"Ummm sure I guess... wait do you... have a tail?"

You nodded. "Yup! But I hide it inside my kimono so enemies don't grab it when I'm off guard."

"Makes sense. Are you the one who is cutting up all the hollows?"

"Of course I am! I just don't have this sword for a reason! I transform into a cat and slash at my enemies."

"Cool. Do you go to my high school? You look familiar."

"I'm in your class, just in the way back. I didn't think you were a soul reaper too. The world is big enough for possibility!"

Ichigo sweat dropped at your behavior. "Right... well do you look like a human when you enter into your body...?"

"How dumb can you get?! Of course I look like I human! It's only when I exit out of my body the true form of me is released! Are all soul reapers like are this dumb?"

A irk mark grew onto his forehead. "Why you-"

You giggled and started flash-stepping back towards the school. Ichigo called after you and went after you. You suddenly disappeared, but he went back inside his body, ran up into class. The teacher gave him a glare when he entered into the classroom. "Ten minutes is not quick, Mr. Kurosaki."

Ichigo sighed and bowed. "I'm sorry sensei, I promise not to take long like that ever again."

"Just sit down and talk with me after school."

Ichigo groaned inside his head just nodded towards his teacher. When he looked at the back of the class you simply gave him a small smile, a sparkling in your eyes to say you had won. Ichigo scoffed and sat back down in his seat, knowing he had just made another new friend.
