Kurosaki Ichigo's first friends were what others perceived as her imaginary friends. It wasn't until her mother was about to die that it becomes evident they weren't just imaginary friends. And although Zangetsu truly cares for Ichigo, sometimes she was just a bit too much for them to handle. Her friends agree (but they would never change her for the world).
