Not just any Hollow

Memories

Ichigo Pov.

I sighed as I walked down the corridor of the school to my classroom. Rukia is back along with Renji, Toshiro, Rangiku, Ikkaku and Yumichika. Right now Ikkaku and Yumichika were  arguing while Rangiku was irritating Toshiro and Rukia and Renji were talking.

I closed my eyes for a second, all of this just because of Aizen. We need to get stronger and defeat him, I can’t be defeated. Not after those last ones were here and then just left. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, I will defeat you.

“Oi Ichigo, don’t space out!” My eyes snapped open and I glared at Renji.

“I’m not, I’m just thinking.” I said and we were beck on our way to class. I turned to the door and gripped the handle, but stopped when I saw orange flow in the corner of eye.

As I slowly turned everything went in slow motion, the long orange flowing hair on a small girl. I stopped in my track and quickly turned to the other side of the hall and saw nothing. I stared at the corridor.

This is so… familiar.

“Oi! Ichigo!” I snapped my eyes to Rukia who was watching me.

“You have been gripping the hands for a few seconds, won’t you go inside?” she asked me and I blinked and nodded with a small smile.

“Y-yeah, let’s go.” I said and turned to the door and opened it. Ignoring Renji’s irritated look. Orihime and Rangiku shared a look and shook it off. They walked into the classroom and went to Ichigo’s seat to talk.

It’s been a week and they got used to everything and the others got used to them as well.

“Orihime!” I looked up and saw Tatsuki running over to Orihime and they began to talk.

“Ichigooooooo!” My eye twitched when I heard Keigo run into the class and straight to me. I held my arm up and he smashed into my arm and then onto the ground.

“G-good on-one.” He whimpered and I glared at him irritated.

“Kaigo-san why do you keep doing this to yourself?” Mizuiro asked and Keigo got up.

“Why so formal?!” he shouted and whined as they began to talk amongst each other, Keigo cried from time to time.

As I looked at everyone I couldn’t stop the small smile from emerging. I’m happy, I have good friends and I’m going to protect them. My smile faltered when I remembered  a small orange haired girl with a big smile. The same warm brown eyes and the biggest smile in the world.

I looked at the ground unaware of a pair of eyes that was watching me.

“Ichigo-kun….” I looked up and saw a sad looking Orihime. I smiled at her.

“It’s nothing, I’m fine.” I said and she didn’t seem to believe me but dropped it.
