return trip

The setting sun coated the city with a thin layer of warm afterglow. After school, several girls went home together, chirping along the way.

"Ichigo, you have to hurry up," the girl walking in the front turned her head and said to the girl who stopped by the electric pole thoughtfully, "I heard from my mother that there are hooligans near here recently, so let's go back early Better."

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was called by his name, pinned the hair on the side of his face behind his ears, only to realize that the distance between himself and his companion was not small.She strode forward two steps to keep up with the girl, always feeling the girl's soft cry from time to time.

"Didn't you hear the crying?" Ichigo asked.

"There's no sound," the girl asked suspiciously, and looked around a few more times, the street was extremely quiet in the evening, "Ichigo, did you hear a strange sound again?"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked around, and shouted to the girls in front: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to finish, you go first." Bao ran into the side street, only to see the shadow disappearing in it.

"Hey! Ichigo!" Seeing her running away, the leading girl wanted to stop her, but she didn't expect the other party to stay for a while.

"What a strange person." She muttered, and finally pulled the classmates around her away.

Kurosaki Ichigo ran wildly along the street, and met Inoue Orihime and Arisawa Tatsuki who were coming home from school at the corner.

"Hey, Ichigo, do you want to go back together?" Arisawa Ryuki asked her.

Orihime Inoue greeted her with reddened cheeks, "Hello Kurosaki-san."

"Hello, I don't have anything to do..." Kurosaki Ichigo saw three bruised men kicking down the sacrifices placed under the poles at the corner, and could only look at the little girl who was doing their evil deeds Knelt on the ground and wept.

Such a scene ignited her anger, she snorted coldly and walked towards the culprit.

Inoue Orihime looked at her worriedly, and asked Arisawa Tatsuki beside him, "Did Kurosaki-san have any trouble with these people?"

"I can't care so much, let's go and help her!"

"You three, do you know what you have done?" Kurosaki Ichigo said coldly.

The leader, the boss, folded his hands, raised his chin, and wrote the words "I'm not easy to mess with" on his fierce face: "I advise you not to worry about it too much, isn't it just kicking the sacrifice?"

Kurosaki Ichigo swung his fist neatly, and the other party didn't see her movement clearly before being knocked down to the ground. The two younger brothers behind him saw their elder brother in such a distressed state, and raised their fists to attack Ichigo. rushed over.

Kurosaki Ichigo was naturally fearless. Before he could make a move, he saw these two hooligans being hit on the head by a schoolbag. They thought that Ichigo had foreign aid, so they held their heads and turned around to see that there were two girls in the same uniform as Ichigo.

"Do you three know who we are? Today I will teach you a lesson."

10 minute later.

"Do you dare to do it next time?" Arisawa Ryuki scolded sharply.

The three fell to their knees, their faces swollen and disfigured. When they heard this, they took a few steps back and clasped their hands together: "Don't dare, don't dare, let's go now!!"

Kurosaki Ichigo bent down and grabbed the collar of the gangster leader, her brown eyes were amazingly bright, and she paused word by word: "Apologize."

"Did you hear that, hurry up, hurry up." The hooligan gave a hand to the two younger brothers beside him.

"Yes, sorry."

The three of them scrambled away after saying this.

Kurosaki Ichigo walked in front of the little girl's spirit body, her voice slowed down: "It's okay, I will bring you a sacrifice tomorrow."

The little girl smiled: "Thank you, big sister."

Standing next to her, Orihime Inoue heard Ichigo's words.When Ichigo was about to leave, she said: "Kurosaki-san, although they all say you are weird, I think you are a very interesting person, um, and, and..."

Kurosaki Ichigo showed a puzzled look.

"Your hair color is beautiful."

Hearing this, Kurosaki Ichigo rubbed her neglected long hair. Since she was a child, her orange hair was too conspicuous in the crowd. Most of her classmates thought it was strange, and some even asked her why she didn’t put It's the first time I've dyed my hair black.

Arisawa Ryuki knocked Inoue Orihime on the head, and shouted: "Your thinking is really different from ordinary people."

Orihime Inoue touched her head aggrievedly, and said sincerely: "But, it's really pretty."

"Okay, okay, you say yes."

"It's getting late, Ichigo, let's go back together."

"Oops, what time is it?"

"Exactly seven o'clock."

"..."

Sure enough, Ichigo was read by his father when he got home, and Kurosaki looked at his wife's photo with all his heart and made a cry: "Fucking child, our lovely daughter is not home at seven o'clock today, she Sure enough, I don’t need my dad anymore when I grow up, woo woo woo.”

Kurosaki Ichigo's face was full of black lines, and he didn't want to pay attention to his father who was a showman.She asked a few words to Xia Li and Youzi who were eating, and then lay on the bed thinking about what happened today when she entered the room.

He could vaguely hear the voice of his sister talking to his father outside the door.

"Do you think my sister is as relaxed as you think? Stupid dad."

"Anyway, let my sister have a good rest."

Kurosaki rested his hand behind his head, with one foot raised slightly, looking at the empty ceiling, he saw a black phoenix butterfly flapping its wings and flying in from the window, followed by a petite girl, She had a long knife pinned to her waist, and stopped in front of her bed along the place where the phoenix butterfly disappeared.

The girl searched around vigilantly, Kurosaki Ichigo tightened the quilt, stared at her for a while, and couldn't help asking: "How did you get in?"

The girl showed panic and confusion, she pointed to herself: "You can actually see me?"

"I should be the one who said that."

Kurosaki Ichigo stood up and took a closer look and found that she was a strange girl she met at the accident scene during the day. She was a little uncertain and said, "Are you the one I met today?"

The girl tilted her head to look at her when she heard the words, and suddenly realized: "It's you, no wonder you can see me. If that's the case, it's necessary to tell you something."

Kurosaki Ichigo sat on the floor and watched her take out the drawing book and start explaining about Shinigami. At the end, she said coldly: "I don't believe it at all, so you are really a liar."

"you!"

Kurosaki Ichigo's complexion suddenly changed, she slowly stood up and asked the girl in front of her, "Did you hear anything?"

"What?" The girl's eyes were wide open, and she quickly stepped back and leaned against the closet. She pulled out the Zanpakutō and pointed it in the direction of the window, but she couldn't see anything.

"It's right in front of you!"

The girl saw that the bed was trampled down out of thin air, and only then did she vaguely hear Xu's cry. She swung the Zanpakuto, but missed Xu, and that Xu quickly escaped in the chaos.

"what--"

Kurosaki Ichigo was startled by Xia Li's scream downstairs, she opened the door anxiously, Yuko lay weakly on the ground, stretched out his hand to her, crying: "Sister, Xia Li...she was taken away , go and save her..."

"Damn it, Youzi, you stay here first, I will definitely rescue Xia Li!"

Kurosaki Ichigo strode downstairs, and under the dim light of the street lamp, he saw the distorted figure holding Xia Li, but Xia Li could only scream helplessly, unable to move.

Kurosaki Ichigo picked up the chair beside him and threw it at Xu, who was attracted by her and let out a low laugh: "I see, there is a more delicious soul here, so I will eat you first." gone."

Just when Kurosaki Ichigo thought he would die here, the girl stood in front of her with a knife. She was bitten bloody, but she still didn't take a step back.Ichigo was slightly startled by her behavior, but quickly reacted and kicked Xu's head away.

Kurosaki Ichigo supported the girl, his eyes locked on her tightly: "Why do you want to save a stranger?"

The girl coughed up blood, and there was a slight smile on her pale paper face: "I saw the urgent look in your eyes when you saved her, and I saved you, this is probably the responsibility of being a god of death, I will not just watch you Send to death."

Kurosaki Ichigo felt the Hollow approaching them, and she knew it was her last chance.The girl leaning against the telephone pole calmly drew out the Zanpakuto, holding the handle tightly with both hands, the cold blade gleaming under the moonlight.

She quickly shared her thoughts with Kurosaki Ichigo, and the other party agreed to her without hesitation.

"My name is Kuchiki Rukia."

"I'm Kurosaki Ichigo."

The blade pierced Kurosaki Ichigo's heart, and the power of the god of death entered her body continuously along the handle. Rukia wanted to pull out the blade, but found that she couldn't do it, and could only watch her power fill up In this girl's body.

What an incredible girl with such powerful spiritual power.Although they had no experience in fighting Xu, they were not timid when facing Xu, and quickly reversed their embarrassing situation.

Rukia saw her loose hair flying in the air as she took off. The profile of her side face was different from the softness of ordinary girls, with attractive heroism and decisiveness, as well as the delicate qualities of girls. The combination of the two should be Say like... like someone, like an orange light.

She was confused about her cognition, but she couldn't move her eyes away until the battle was over.

The next day.

Kurosaki Ichigo thought that he would never meet Rukia again, but the transfer student in front of him, wearing a school uniform and speaking exaggeratedly like coming out of a Shakespeare play, was exactly her.

"Long time no see Ichigo." Rukia greeted on the spot with her hands covering her mouth.

Kojima Mizuiro next to her was surprised and said, "Does Kurosaki-san and the transfer student know each other? That's right, both of them are beauties, and it's normal to know each other."

Kurosaki Ichigo patted Kojima Mizuiro's head, who was talking nonsense, with a stiff face, and glared at him: "I know each other, so don't talk nonsense in the future."

Kojima Mizuro looks pure and good-natured. She touched her head in embarrassment, and laughed: "I can't help but praise Ichigo, you are one of the most beautiful girls in our class, but your hair is too dazzling. If you dye it black, I will be your number one pursuit oh."

"unnecessary."

Rukia lifted her skirt to Kojima Mizuiro, exaggerating: "Ichigo and I haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss her so much, and now I want to chat with her." Pull out of the classroom to a place where no one is there.

Kojima Mizuiro sighed behind him: "Girls' friendship is really beautiful."

Training Course.

Rukia briefly said that she now has no power of death and needs help from Ichigo, and Ichigo naturally did not agree to her so easily.

"Are you kidding me? I'm just an ordinary high school student."

"I know it is difficult for a woman to make such a decision, because it means unknown dangers, but I hope you can help me during this time when I regain my strength."

"If left alone, like this kid."

Kurosaki Ichigo saw that Xu was chasing the child, the child could only scream and hide, and had no ability to fight back against Xu.

At the moment the child ran towards her, Kurosaki Ichigo drew out his Zanpakuto and slashed towards Xu, Xu's body disappeared the moment it touched the blade.Ichigo calmed down and looked back at Rukia.

"From the moment you pull out the Zanpakuto, you have made a decision."

Ichigo stopped and touched the child's head. The boy was trembling and crying in her arms. Rukia taught her how to perform soul burial. one of the jobs.

"Stay here all the time, and you will be chased like this in the future, so you should be obedient."

The boy nodded ignorantly, the hilt of the knife landed on his forehead, his body shone with light, and gradually sank into the ground.

Rukia smiled: "There is really a way."

"From now on, we must perform our job of acting as the agent of Death."

Kurosaki Ichigo: "Why do I feel like I was cheated by you."

"It's too late to regret now, Ichigo."

……

After school.

Kurosaki Ichigo and Rukia went home together, Inoue Orihime felt incredible about their combination: "The relationship between Kurosaki-san and Kuchiki-san looks very good."

Rukia took Ichigo's hand and said very naturally: "Hello, Inoue-san, Ichigo and I have been close friends for many years."

Kurosaki Ichigo: ...forcibly my best friend.

Orihime Inoue's eyes were full of envy, she clenched her fists and said, "To be good friends with Kurosaki-san, Kuchiki-san must also be amazing."

Fortunately, Long Gui had to go back today, otherwise Rukia's identity would definitely be exposed.After Inoue Orihime left, Kurosaki Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered a question: "Rukia, where do you live now?"

"secret."

Kurosaki Ichigo paused, and continued: "If you don't mind, you can come to live at my house. In this case, Shinigami's work will be more convenient."

Rukia moved into Kurosaki Ichigo's house so logically. Youzi and Kurosaki Isshin had the biggest reactions, and Xia Li was as calm as ever.

In short, Ichigo's career as an agent of death has officially kicked off.
