A/N: Plot Bunnies and Nostalgia inspired me for this. My other stories will be updated but this was on my mind.

Ichigo was on a plane going to Reefside, California. He just wanted to finish the last year of high school and be done. No more supernatural being, no more wars, no more being a shinigami.

He had done just what he said he wouldn't, he gave up his powers once again just to fight Juha Bach. He had used the Saigo no Getsuga Tensho to end his ancestor and save the balance of the world. He watched as the remaining reiatsu he had dissipated from his body.

He stayed out of school the rest of the year and decided maybe a change in scenery would do nicely. He told his father and used the money he had saved to buy a ticket and rent an apartment in town. He would be attending Reefside High School. He had enrolled and now had to wait until Monday to start.

Ichigo looked out the window of his area and imagined what he would be doing if he still had his powers. Most likely fighting hollows, He thought to himself. He sighed and leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes to get some much deserved rest.

Ichigo had his bag over his shoulder and looked at his new school. He took in a deep breath and walked in. The first thing he notice were the students wandering the halls talking to their friends and getting to class, the second were the teachers waiting at the doors, or at least a few, for students to come in. One stood out he was a man with short dark hair and a small go-tee on his chin. What made him stand out was the way he looked at the students, not in some perverted way, but analytical, watching their actions and reactions. Ichigo took note of this and went to the principal's office to get his schedule for the year.

Ichigo reached the office and talked to the secretary, telling her who he was. She spoke with him for a moment before sending him back, mainly telling him good luck and what not. He knocked on the door and waited for a response. When he heard a female voice say, "Come in," he entered.

"Ah, Mr. Kurosaki, I've been expecting you." The woman who was his principal stated. He nodded to he and shifted the weight of his bag on his right should into a more comfortable position. The principal gathered some paperwork and handed them to him. "This is your schedule and the student rulebook. I hope that you have a pleasant time in Reefside Mr. Kurosaki." Ichigo nodded and left.

Ichigo looked at his schedule and saw his homeroom teacher was named Dr. Thomas Oliver; he took another deep breath and walked in the direction of his class. It took him no more than two minutes to reach the room he knocked and heard the teacher tell him to come in. He walked in and saw the teacher from before, the one that studied the other students. Dr. Oliver gave him the same look and told him to take a seat and introduce himself.

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, I'm from Karakura Town, Japan." Ichigo told the class and the teacher. Dr. Oliver nodded and Ichigo sat down, but not before he saw several of the female student give him a quick, appreciative glance.

Tommy watch as the new kid walked in with a certain confidence in his walk. He could see the kid was disciplined. He told him to take a seat and introduce himself, which he did. He could see he was of Asian descent, but mostly they were just book smart, this one looked like he was street smart and knew what to do if in trouble.

"My name is Dr. Thomas Oliver, but you guys can call me Dr. O." He informed the students in which only a couple of them were actually paying attention, yet the rest could have cared less. Tommy sighed and looked at his watch and began to think, Is this how Mrs .Applebee felt?

At that time the bell rang for first period to start. "Okay, have a good day guys! It was great to meet you." He went and gathered his things for first period, but as he did so he noticed the new kid hadn't moved. "Ichigo?"

He saw the teen look at him. "It's Ichigo, right?" Ichigo nodded at the question.

He smirked, Yes I got one right! He cheered inwardly. "Is this your first period?" Ichigo again nodded. Tommy was a bit surprised and nodded as well. "Oh, ok then. Just stay in your seat then and wait for the others." Ichigo took out a note book and began to doodle, from what Tommy saw.

"So you moved from Japan, huh?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, I kinda miss it, since that's where my dad and younger sisters are, but I needed to get away. Too many bad memories, ya know." Tommy knew the feeling.

"Unfortunately."

Right as he said that students began to pour in. Tommy began to look at his first period and began to group them by social status. Jocks, the nerds, cheerleaders, the preps, and the outcasts. He wondered what category Ichigo fit into. He had the right build for a jock, but he had the feeling that he did well in classes. He saw that Ichigo glanced at his classmates with an analytic view.

This kid had been in fights, he could tell. That was something his years as a ranger taught him.

Just who are you Ichigo?

Lunch time rolled around and Ichigo had a tray of food in one hand and his bag in the other. He was currently looking for a place to sit, but couldn't find one. He had planned to eat then see about the soccer team and sign up for try outs, but Life seemed to have other plans. Just as Ichigo had found a place to sit down, someone got in front of him a guy with a tight tee shirt with a few others surrounding him. The guy smirked at Ichigo as if he were easy prey, it would soon be his mistake.

"Hey fresh meat." He said to Ichigo. Ichigo looked at the guy in the eyes and tried to go on buy, but was blocked by the jerk.

"Look I don't want any problems. I just want to get my day over with get some rest and maybe see about my family half a world away." The guy seemed to not even care and proceeded to flip Ichigo's tray of food into Ichigo's chest.

Ichigo pursed his lips and held in his anger. He was going to let it go, and walk by him, go see about getting cleaned up and a new shirt. "Look I really don't want to embarrass your ass, so please take a hint, leave me alone." The jerk and his posse laughed at Ichigo.

"And what you going to do tell on me, ginger kid." The jackass mocked. Ichigo let a sadistic grin grace his lips.

"No, I'm gonna put your ass on the ground." Ichigo told him darkly. The jock then smirked and threw a punch at Ichigo, who lazily caught it. "Rule one: never underestimate your opponent." He said to the boy. He then twist the boys arm and brought it behind the kid's back lifting up slightly. "Rule two: there is always someone better than you." Ichigo then put the kid in a sleeper hold. "And rule three: don't get let your opponent get behind you." The kid was out in a matter of seconds.

Ichigo may not be a shinigami anymore, but he still could fight like a boss. Teachers ran towards them and told Ichigo to go the the principal's office. He rolled his eyes and left. What he didn't see was four set of eyes watching him, one of them was a certain science teacher, who was grinning and holding in a laugh.

A/N: Read and Review tell me what I should do for Ichigo, should he replace Trent or should he be a new ranger all together.
