A strawberry's return (Open)

[tatsuki]

Tatsuki looked between Revie and Ichigo after she had broke the ice and then looked to Revie seeing she unsure look. ''Huh?'' Tatsuki uttered and then heard her very polite greeting towards Ichigo. Tatsuki's brows raised in surprisement as he mouth dropped a little. ''Eh?...Revie what are you doing?'' she said and then looked to Ichigo. ''Oi Ichigo smile or something your scaring her'' Tatsuki said to him with a wagging finger. ''Let me guess you've heard that Ichigo's a right nasty piece of work with no heart'' she smirked. ''Oh come on, its not like he's gonna beat ypu up after school for looking at him the wrong way...are you Ichigo'' she said nudging him in his side. But seriously she found it funny she was afraid of him she would of reassured her he was a big softie but well that wasnt entirly true!

She heard Ichigo ask her what class was next, she thought and then sigh. ''English studies you really forgot everything didnt you'' she said with a small laugh and then she could feel something a little uneasy all of a sudden. She frowned and then remebered Ichigo was in tune with all this spiritual awareness, maybe it was a hollow she had always wanted to sneak away with him when he needed to kill a hollow so she could observe and have a go at it herself. Tatsuki gave Ichigo a look as if to say 'is it hollow busting time?' but still it didnt feel the same like a hollow usually did. She watched Ichigo for any change in his facial expression she could read his face like no other it was the only thing that gave away what Ichigo was really thinking.

Then she heard it, a male voice who seemed to know Ichigo very well because he said they go way back. Why didnt that sound convincing? ''Ichigo..'' she said looking to him seeing if he agree that he knew this person and all was well.

[revie]

Reve glanced to Tatsuki seeing her and then looked away was she a little too polite just now? it probably sounded alien to Ichigo she should of used the 'hey' and given a firm look. ''Sorry...'' she muttered and looked at Ichigo seeing he didnt understand her she gave a sigh and gave up trying before she heard Tatsuki tellimg him to smile and stop scaring her but she didnt think that would happen and Tatsuki was making sense and hoped he would make threats to her for a wrong look. She smiled a little at Ichigo when he realized she too had rumours about her going round she just nodded in agreement when he said it was a pain.

Revie then felt something the same time as Tatsuki did really, she was spiritually aware but had told no one before she thought she was the only one really. But she tried to hide that she had sensed something unusual and then a male student came round the cornere of the corridor. He had dark hair and seemed a little out of place here who was he?
She noticed he seemed to know Ichigo and Revie started thinking that this was another punk ass bully who was looking for a fight but she had mistaken Ichigo for trouble well she still was unsure about that but she hoped she wouldnt witness a fight.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked from one to the other as Tatsuki questionned Revie on what she was doing, he guessed Tatsuki knew what Revie was really like and not as polite as she sounded was she scared of him? na he wasnt that scary maybe if he really wanted to scare someone off then he'd play up to that but he didnt think he was giving off anything to be scared about, ah Ichigo had a thought maybe she had heard something. Ichigo sighed and then heard Tatsuki tell him to smile ''No...'' was his blunt answer to that but Tatsuki was right there was no way he'd meanignlessly 'beat someone up' from just a look maybe if it was Orochimu then he would. ''Uh...im not gonna beat anyone up not today besides i cant afford to get in any trouble i got lots of catching up to do remeber'' he said and then noticed Tatsuki's look what was up with her now? but he came to think that Tatsuki may of sensed something like a hollow, great how would he deal with this one he still had no shinigami power left in him whichh was also why he hadnt sensed something when Tatsuki did. She was more spiritually aware than him right now which was strange because he was the one who could see ghosts and no one beleived him.

Ichigo looked at Tatsuki and knew she probably wanted to go with him and either watch or kick the hollow about a bit, thats right Ichigo may not have his power but he still had his body to make damage he did afterall go to a dojo the same as Tatsuki and he had used hand to hand combat before he'd have to do that how else could he kill a hollow, but then again he wasnt a shinigami and it wasnt his job anymore. But before anything else he heard a voice, where had he heard that sly voice before it definalty wasnt Shinji's. Ichigo looked over his shoulder seeing who he didnt think he ever see again neither did he want to see this guy! ''You'' Ichigo growled in anger hearing him acting like the long lost friend how they went back a long way. ''Im only 17 how far is a long time to you?'' Ichigo was quick to answer mainly because the excuse had holes in it if he went way back it made them sound like they were in their 30's and used to go to school together.

What was his stupid mind game now? how the hell did he know he was in this school and why was he dressed in their uniforms how did he find him, oh yeah he had a huge spirit energy that anyone could detect but he usually knew when someone was coming along by senseing their energy but he couldnt this time. ''Get out of here'' Ichigo said he didnt want him in this school or around any of his friends he had already caused some trouble for him and his friends and what more trouble was he trying to cause this time. He seemed to want a fight by the big talk he was flowing out but there was no way Ichigo would fight him not without any kind of power.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki grinned as Ichigo and his friends took on that he was here and left them to wonder what he wanted or why he was here. He smirked seeing Ichigo's reaction ''Now thats not a very nice greeting Kurosaki Ichigo'' he said and then looked to Tatsuki and Revie. ''Dont look so worried!'' he told them and then glanced back to Ichigo. ''You remeber me dont ya?'' he asked only for Ichigo to retort how he was 17 and not old enough for them to go way back. ''Oh...so youre right...i lied then'' he said. Itsuki frowned however as Ichigo told him to get out of here ''How rude...i was starting to like humans and their education'' he said and then looked around as if seeing what he could use for a sudden fight there was hardly any students around just him Ichigo Tatsuki and Revie so far because of the early time they were here. ''Alright then here's the deal...you fight me and i wont turn on your friends'' he smirked and waited for a response he loved a confrontation something up front and forced decisions to be made in an instance but he knew why Ichigo wouldnt comply with that offer, because he had no spiritual power just the standard power of a human and that was limited so it would be interesting seeing as both of them had unusual races of what they are.

''Were both Hybrids Ichigo so there's only a matter of time before we clash...both a confused mix of different species not pure asc they say'' he said maybe he needed to push a few buttons and he knew how to do it. ''If you wont comply with my offer then im sure brute force is the answer because thatsthe language you understand isnt it!!'' he snapped and then from nowhere his fist slammed into the steel lockers behind Ichigo making a loud crunching noise at the impact just beside Ichigo's ear was his fist that had torn through the locker door.

[tatsuki]

Tatsuki watched this guy like a hawk who was he? just bursting in here like he had unannounced that asshole! she didnt like the way he was toying with Ichigo one minuite his long term friend then next he said he was just lying. ''There is no way Ichigo would be a friend to you dumbass!'' she snapped but she knew he must be someone of not human and from somethng to do with Ichigo's shinigami business, she'd drag it out of him later but he was enticing Ichigo into a fight and it seemed he knew how to do it by just tormenting Ichigo and pushing his short temper. ''Shut up!!'' she said but then looked to Revie probably wondering what the heck was going on she had no clue she could sense any of this.

Tatsuki looked at Ichigo again after hear this Itsuki was of a similar race like they were both imperfect experimentations both not pure of the soul, which she knew what Itsuki was getting at. ''You asshole shut up about that!! you know nothing of him!! you think you do but you dont!'' she snapped but then shut herself up trying to not look like an idiot in front of Revie. Tatsuki knew that Ichigo had something burried beneath his soul what that wasnt she didnt really know but from what Orihime told her it wasnt plesant and not something he wanted to have, whatever it was she could guess it wasnt for the good so this guy must be the same perhaps? that was dangerous he wanted to fight Ichigo in the middle of his school just like that? was he crazy! they'd destroyl the place and Ichigo would go all out shinigami on him she could sense, wait no she couldnt, nothing. This happened before she swore it she could feel a high and dense energy from Itsuki maybe even 2 different ones but there was nothing from Ichigo again. maybe he was masking and hiding his energy, had he learned to do that to his huge spirit pressure?

Then she heard an almight crash the sound of metal being twisted and crushed she see Itsuki's fist planted in the locked right beside where Ichigo was standing, this was not good. She stepped back hoping to not allow Revie to witness anymore.

[revie]

Revie was mentally smacking herself for being so polite but she took it in her stride that things wuld be better next time. She smiled a little to Tatsuki and then see she had spotted this Itsuki guy too. Revie watched him too trying to read him but he had 2 different spirit energy's was that even possible?
But what did get her is Tatsuki defending Ichigo with a strong beleif that Itsuki knew nothing about him. Revie watched in awe shocked even at the events unfoldeing before her eyes. She couldnt understand much but it seemed Itsuki was pushing for a fight in the school which wasnt wise. Revie had just thought this was another one of the violent bullies of the school come to provoke a fight the usual boys thing. But it grew suspicious when Itsuki punched right through a steel locker door, how did he do that!

She was expecting a fight right here and now but she had heard Ichigo before hand say he couldnt get into a fight because of all the trouble he was already in.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo just glared right at Itsuki not saying anything but hearing what he had to say, so it was a fight he wanted, he had thought that but no way was he gonna just up and fight him in his school especially seeing as he had barely set foot in here and was already in trouble. Ichigo scowled more hearing how he 'lied' that bastard acting so stupidly like he was trying to mess with his mind. ''I decline'' Ichigo said bluntly once he offered to fight him. But Ichigo was waiting for it, what he guessed he wuld say next and he did say he would turn on his friends otherwise. ''Here come the threats then...'' he said wiht a small smirk he knew he could probably push him into a fight and convince him with threats thats just one the many weaknesses Ichigo had. ''I dont have time to fight you and i dont want to either...you wanna turn on my friends so be it'' he said trying to bluff his way out of fighting him he wouldnt be that stupid to actually make full on attacked in a small corridor like this he probably would another time when he wasnt around but not today he hoped.

Ichigo did not look inpressed when Itsuki brought up his unpure soul teasing at the fact he was no innocent or typical hero. ''I know that already...'' Ichigo stated as he suddenly heard an outburst from Tatsuki. Ichigo looked at her in surprise knowing she had discovered what Itsuki was talking about. Ichigo was quite surprised he was handling Itsuki with complete rashness but even he still had his anger there just under the surface, she he wanted to run right out and be aggressive but he was holding back and for good reason too. But he didnt expect it from Tatsuki he looked at her in confusion but frowned a little then looked back at Itsuki. ''You wanna fight thats fine i'll give you one anytime but now just say when and i'll be there'' he told him but he was still aware that Tatsuki was annoyed and probably wanted to keep Revie from getting suspicious so Ichigo tried to keep it looking like it ws just another school fight. It would of been convincing had Itsuki not punched through a steel locker, damn there was no way a usual punk kid in school could do that and things started to look worse. Ichigo clentched his teeth together as Itsuki's fist plunged into the locker right beside him. Damn he hadnt really thought what kind of danger just being human now had. He could get into a serious fight without having any power what so ever but his own two fists agasint whatever Itsuki was it was a clear mismatch and clear who would win. ''Tch...'' Ichigo gave a noise that sounded annoyed or bored even. He didnt say anything but just straightned up and started to walk away.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki looked at Ichigo narrowing his eyes as there was a silence sweeping across, Ichigo had declined his request and had all the answers as to why. Itsuki frowned he had thought Ichigo would instantly dive into a fight but he was on lock and keeps. Itsuki smirked at the rfealization of why ''So Shinji really has ordered you from using any power...i can see why you dont want to fight and that your surpressing your anger...you just really wanna hit me dont ya! come on whats the worse that can happen you get swallowed up by your...'' he began but he stopped hearijng Tatsuki defneding Ichigo's corner and his pride it sounded like. ''What is this shit Ichigo? your letting your friends fight for you'' he tormented some more. But Ichigo was still not going to fight him it seemed Shinji had informed him if he allowed his anger to increase then it obviously gave his hollow more chance of taking over. ''Your Kurosaki Ichigo your the kid with fire and a story in his eyes where's the passion you had to protect your friends? Shinji really dulled you down hasnt he...its just what he wants you know!''

Even after punching the locker right by him he only gave a sound that indicated his annoyance and he could see it in his eyes he wanted revenge but he just brushed it off like it was nothing, had he not seen the punch he delivered, rather he did and just kept his cool. Ichigo was then walking away from him! oh no one ever did that! ''Get back here Kurosaki!'' he said but was trying to think of some things to grab his attention ''That girl!!'' he suddenly shouted. ''Yeah her you know the cutie with the impressive chest'' he said then fell silent to see if it had caught Ichigo. ''You....havent forgot what i did to her did you?''

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo had been figured out as to why he wasnt in a fight with him already like usual it was because Ichigo had just lost some of his attitude through the years he got older but it was more because of all the warnings Shinji had told him, how his hollow is strenghtened whe he was angered how much easier it was to just take over his body in an instance when he was provoked which was why his hollow made it so difficult for him. Ichigo had so far dodged every fight that was made an opportunity to him since he had been back from the Vizards lair. He escaped fightng Itsuki when Ana was fighting him and now he was escaping it a second time.

Ichigo had his anger right there hearing how he was dulled down and lost his passion and drive for his friends because of Shinji, so what was this guy saying that he knew Shinji? Things got mroe and more suspicious so many questions popping up that needed to be answered. Ichigo had to bit his tongue desperatly not to snap back or just attack Itsuki the thins he said were the exsact things that got to him so easily abd he was proud he could keep from using violence and not cloud his vision and mind with anger irresponsibly.

Ichigo was walking away from Itsuki and the chance to fight him he had a class to get to and as much as that didnt sound like him he still hadnt shown himself to his teacher who still assumed he was missing. He didnt want to turn up and start new and then have his old reputation draged back up on how he was an aggressive punk kid. Ichigo breathed a sigh of relef once he reacher Tatsuki and Revie and was about to ask them to walk to class quickly to avoid Itsuki. But he had said something that got Ichigo's attention for sure. He had forgotten a bit about what he had done to Orihime that night and how he now had a tracker on her that wasnt as easy to remove when it was in her blood stream. Ichigo stopped in his tracks and looked up and to the side but not turning around he just listened to him say if he'd forgotten what he did to her. Ichigo turned rounds quickly ''Inoue...'' he began knowing she was probably in school some place he didnt know he could sense her still.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki grinned seeing Ichigo turned round and had stopped walking away he grinned even more upon hearing him say her name. ''Ah...oh yes...Inoue...that was her name, Inoue-San'' he said slyly with arms out gesturing. ''Did you guys discover what i planted then?....by the looks of it you did'' he smirked. Itsuki had placed a tracking inside Orihihme's bloodstream when he cut her that night. It was a microscpic set of trakers that just spread through the body once the heart has pumped it all around her. ''There's nothing you can really do to stop it or get rid of it...unless she had her hairpin to reject those events'' he said. Good he had got him who'd have thought it would be a girl's name being used to grab his attention.

''You avoided fighting me that night didnt you and left poor Ana-San to deal with me...are you sure i havent done anything to her aswell? because lets face it you guys still have no clue who or what i am...i havent even fully introduced myself yet have i? I am Itsuki Katamashima an unknow specie to you but im hope you will figure it out'' he said with a small bow of the head as he folded his arms afterwards.

''What's say we compare out strengths, a human agasint...well me'' he said challenging Ichigo once more. ''No? still got cold feet about it? maybe if i go find Inoue-San its not difficult to find you with the tracker inside of her and all...'' he said. ''Come on Ichigo that stupid bitch really gonna be your downfall or what!!?'' he yelled.
