Chapter 5: That thing

"Suguru...What is that thing besides you?"

"Excuse you?

Hearing Gojo call him a thing Ichigo couldn't help but look at him as if he had grown a third head 

"What kind of greeting is that? Do you usually speak like that to people who you meet for the first time? Now I get why Riko calls you a rude bastard"

"Right!"

"Satoru, that is you, right?"

Geto got near his friend but didn't address the matter of him calling Ichigo a thing because the moment he saw his face he got worried, he had an expressionless face a contrast to his previous one

"Yes, but geto answer me, what is that.....oh never mind I see now"

When Gojo saw Ichigo he was still in a euphoria-like state too excited for the sudden surge of power and his six eyes were working like crazy what he saw when he looked at Ichigo was just a mass of..curse energy or something similar to curse energy but it was weird he never seen anything like that

"My bad, I am Gojo Satoru and you?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo"

"Satoru Kuroi-san is"

"I know, I am just glad that you and Riko are okay"

"I see, I am also glad you are okay too, let's get back"

------------------------------------------------

Jujutsu High

"So Ichigo, you are saying you are lost"

"Yes, I suddenly appeared at the same place as Geto and Riko"

While they were on their way to jujutsu high Ichigo started speaking about his problem 

"And to be honest I don't know what city is this"

"Tokyo"

"I see, do you guys know Karakura town?"

"Never hear of it"

"Me neither"

"Sorry"

"It's okay, can one of you lend me your cellphone, I want to call my friends"

Ichigo was a little disappointed that none of the three heard of Karakura town but he didn't panic after all it was not like his town was a famous place

'but even if is not a famous place it's kind of weird Karakura is one of Tokyo suburb's'

"Sure, here you go Ichigo-san"

Riko gave Ichigo her phone but he was a bit surprised by what he saw

"You have a nice phone, seems pretty new"

"It's actually kind of old, from 2005 I remember correctly"

"?"

"Ichigo-san? What wrong why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you just said something weird"

"Eh? What did I say?"

"That this phone is from 2005"

"It is"

"How would that even be possible?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean how can you have a phone from 2005 when we are in the year 2003"

"?"

"?"

"?"

"Hey Ichigo, what are you talking about, did you hit your head on the way here or something?"

"Ah!? you want to fight or something?"

"Ichigo, you know that is 2005, right?"

"The hell are you guys on about? how could it possibly be 2005 are you making fun of me because-"

[Ichigo As punishment for this sin you too shall depart from this world

Ichigo recalled Yhwach's final words and started getting a bad feeling

"It can't be, please don't fuck with me like"

Ichigo took the phone and started calling his friends 

{the number you call doesn't exist}

Chad's number didn't work

{The number you call doesn't exist}

Ishida's number didn't work either 

"Please work"

He called Orihime's number but this time someone actually answered 

"Orihime!!! it's me Ichigo, where are you guys?"

"Sorry but you got the wrong number, I don't know anyone named Orihime"

but it wasn't Orihime's voice on the other side of the phone but a different woman 

"I see sorry"

Ichigo hung up and stood in silence with an unreadable expression on his face

"Ichigo-san are you okay?"

"Yes, sorry but can you get me a map?"

"Map? Sure there should be one in the school we can ask one of the teachers for one"

"Thank you"

The group of four went inside the building looking for a teacher and soon they run into one

"Ah! Teacher Yaga!"

Seein the teacher Masamichi Yaga, Gojo with his carefree attitude waved his hand at him but Yaga just stared at him with his eyes peeled

"Satoru!! what happened to you? why are you covered in blood!?"

"Oh, this? Someone stabbed me"

Gojo answered as if it was normal for someone to be stab

"Stab? Who? How? Damn it, you can tell me later you should hurry and go to Shoko to get hea-"

"There is no need I am already healed, look"

To affirm his words Gojo opened his shirt and showed Yaga his healed wounds 

"But forget about that right now we have more urgent matters at hand"

"Okay tell me what is going on is someone attacking Jujutsu high?"

"Well, you see we need a map"

"A map?"

"yes"

"What for?"

"For our friend here"

using his thumb Gojo pointed at Ichigo behind him and Yaga finally realized there was a stranger with his students

'I didn't notice him because I was too concerned about Satoru and is that Amanai Riko? what is she doing here?'

"Nice to meet you, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo, sorry for being too sudden but I really need a map, can you lend me one"

"...sure follow me"

'I would like to know more but I know better than asking too much when it comes to this kid's business, when I try to get involved in their shenanigans my head only feels pain'

Yaga led the teens to a classroom they went inside and waited for Yaga to take the map out

"Let's see it should be around here, found it, here you go"

"Thank you"

Ichigo took the map and started looking for the location of Karakura town

'Thank god they made us study maps in school, okay Karakura town should be around here'

Already familiar with the general location of his town Ichigo looked at where it was supposed to be but he didn't see the name of his town just the landscape of a forest

"Sorry I have to go and confirm something"

Moving at incredible speeds Ichigo disappeared from the view of the people present 

"Eeeeh! Ichigo-san vanished!"

"Calm down squeak he simply went somewhere else"

"Did you see him move Satoru"

"Yes"

"That is incredible, I could even react"

"I am that amazing"

'Well I was able to see him but I don't think the current me can keep up with that speed'

Instead of feeling down, Satoru had a smile on his face one of excitement 

'So interesting'

"Anyway let us just wait for him, he probably went to check the location he was looking for"

---------------------------------------------

Ichigo stood about Karakura town or at least what is supposed to be Karakura town but unfortunately for Ichigo what he found was

"Nothing"

Instead of the lively and bright town, he was used to seeing, in its place was a huge forest filled with wild life and no people to be seen 


Chapter 6: Knowledge

"This is truly not my world anymore."

Kurosako Ichigo, contemplating the facts before him, just decided to accept the new reality.

"It is not impossible; I already have experience with weird situations. For now, I should go back with Geto and the others. They seem connected with the supernatural so that they may know something."

With a plan in mind, Ichigo returned to Jujutsu High to speak with his new friends about his predicament.

--------------------------------------

"Ichigo-san, you are back. Did you find what you were looking for?"

"About that, I wondered if you could hear me out."

"You save Riko and me; of course, we can help you."

"You didn't save me, but I can use some entertainment, hahaha."

"Thank you."

"So, what is troubling you?"

"Well, you see."

---------------------------------------

"So you are from another world?"

"Yes"

"And you got here because a train hit you?"

"Is more complicated than that, but yes."

"And you are a reaper."

"A substitute one"

".....You know I may act. Like a clown sometimes."

"So you are aware."

"Shut it, dwarf."

"Like I said, I may act like a clown, but I am not one, so forgive me if I have a hard time believing you."

"Didn't you come back from a death like with wounds that for sure would kill you in the same day?"

"You got a point."

"So, any idea of how I may return to my world?"

"None. What about you, Suguru?"

"I can't think of anything."

"We can ask Yaga"

------------------------------------

"Sorry, I have no experience with people from another world."

"And you call yourself a teacher?"

"How are those two related?"

"No idea, it just means you failed as a teacher."

"Satoru, enough fooling around, Ichigo needs our help."

"But are you kid serious about his?"

"Does it look like we are playing around with you?"

"You always are, but forget about that. If what you are telling us is true then your best bet may be Tengen-sama. You told me that you were teleported to the Tengen-sama star corridor."

"Who is Tengen-sama?"

"An immortal jujutsu sorcerer who keeps the barrier of Jujutsu High"

"How do I speak with him?"

"Normally you will need to speak with the higher up first but considering your situation, I am sure you can just go back to the star corridor."

"I see, I remember the way back so if you excuse me."

swoosh

The substitute shinigami didn't waste time and left for the star corridor immediately, leaving the four people alone.

"How unusual of you, Yaga"

"What do you mean?"

"Usually, when it comes to stuff like this, you are very strict about following the proper steps."

"...sigh, Satoru, I have lived and experienced many things, and with those experiences, I gained the wisdom to know what is dangerous. That man you brought with you, I can feel the danger he emanates as if death itself was in front of me. He is powerful."

"I know, isn't that exciting?"

-------------------------------------

In the infinite star corridor 

Ichigo was already in the place he first appeared, looking around for anyone but his eyes didn't see a single soul.

"Hello!! Is someone named Tengen-sama here?"

After shouting for someone, Ichigo's surroundings change to a completely white space.

"Now where I am?"

"My apologies for making you come here, Kurosaki Ichigo"

"Are you Tengen?"

"Yes, it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Same. Sorry for being rude but I am in a hurry you see"

"I am aware of your issue at hand, Kurosaki-san but I am sorry to be the one to say this to you but I cannot help you."

"I understand, thank you for hearing me out, and no need to apologize it's not your fault."

"...What a surprise"

"What?"

"Usually people with your strength tend to be more volatile"

"talking from experience?"

"You could say so. Kurosaki-san while I am not able to help you let me give you a warning"

"About what?"

"You see I have lived for a long time thanks to my curse technique but in exchange for that ability my body evolves and little by little I become less human, and the less human I become the more I can feel my connection with the world trying to influence my will."

" How does that relate to me?"

"Kurosaki-san I don't know if it's a good thing or not but I can feel the world's will on you as if trying to engulf your body but it fails as if it was unable to touch you."

"The will of the world on me. Is that bad or good?"

"I don't know"

Thinking about Tengen words Ichigo was in deep thought, whether to be worried or not.

'Is not use thinking too hard about it, I will deal with it later if it becomes a problem'

"Thank you for telling me, can you send me back? I want to speak with my friends"

"Hmmm it was a pleasure meeting you Kurosaki Ichigo"

--------------------------------

Back with Gojo and the others.

Ichigo told them about his conversation with Tengen

"I see so Tengen-sama said that sorry we don't have a way to help you Ichigo"

"it is not your fault and I shouldn't expect someone else to solve my problems, that being said I need your help with something."

"Sure, what do you need?"

"I am planning to investigate how to return to my world but I don't know how long it is going to take and well that would be kind of hard when I don't even have a proper identity in this world."

" So you want us to help you with that, okay, but you will also need a place to stay and money, so why not attend Jujutsu High?"

"Is that possible?"

"Why don't we ask the future principal, what do you think Yaga?"

"It is teacher Yaga and yes, it is possible. It is not weird for someone with an obscure past to enroll Jujutsu High, after all, people have their circumstances."

"That would help me a lot but there is another issue"

"What"

"I don't have a body right now"

"What do you mean?"

"I think I know what he means"

"You know something Satoru?"

"When I look at you it's almost as if you weren't there, when we first met I thought you were just a mass of weird curse energy"

"That is probably because my physical body is in another world, and while you guys can see me, people without spiritual energy or curse energy can't see me."

"Can you possess a human body?"

"No, and I don't want to."

"There goes my idea"

"I have one."

Yaga who remained silent through the teens' conversation had a proposal

"What if I make a vessel for you?"

"A vessel?"

"A puppet to be more clear."

Ichigo was unsure if that could work but he remembered something about his world. 

"Like a gijai(Faux body), yes that could work but how long will that take?"

"I need to gather the materials and get your sizes to make the vessel more realistic but it shouldn't take over a month."
