"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
