"Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!" Ichigo's deputy badge clanged.

"Can't they make that quieter?" Ichigo said grabbing it. He left his body jumping in the direction of the hollow.

"Just live with it, Ichigo" Rukia said. Chappy was in her body dragging Ichigo's body into a corner.

"Yeah but it's irritating as hell" Ichigo said.

He looked up and saw the hollow. It was a standard your standard chasing after a little kid. A black blur passed by Ichigo and a soul reaper landed in front of the hollow.

"Who's that?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia shrugged her shoulders then went back to watching the soul reaper. He looked like any soul reaper accept he had a red scarf around his mouth. He drew his sword and held it at arms length.

"Show all those who face you death, Karite" he said.

The sword glowed turning into a scythe. The staff was a dark red. The blade was black. The spot that connected the blade to the staff looked like an eye. At the moment it was closed but you could feel suppressed power coming from it. He grabbed the base of the scythe spun and slashed up. The hollow groaned as it split in half. The soul reaper turned around and knelt to the child. They talked and then the scythe's eye opened. The soul began to glow green and then flowed into the eye.

"Hey what the hell are you doing?!" Ichigo yelled.

He tried to punch him but the stranger dodged it. He then faded away into a red mist flying away on the wind.

"Ichigo! What happened?" Rukia asked landing next to him.

"I don't know" Ichigo said. "But I think that guy just absorbed that kid's soul."

"What?" Rukia said shocked.

"Yeah. The scythe's eye thing opened and sucked the kid's soul into it." Ichigo told her. "I tried to stop him but he got away"

"I've never heard of a zanpactou that could do that." Rukia said holding her chin. "I'll call the soul society to see if they know anything. Right now we should be on the lookout for that guy."

Ichigo nodded as they both shun poed into the air. They made it back to Ichigo's school in time for the first bell. Ichigo grunted as he made back into his body. Rukia stretched her arms getting back into the feel of her gigai

"Come on Ichigo. We're gonna miss first period" Rukia said.

"I'm coming" Ichigo said walking after her.

"Alright class I'd like to introduce a new student." Their teacher said. "Takai Myou"

A kid walked in. He had black hair and piercing blue eyes. Ichigo's bored expression vanished turning to that of shock.

That's the guy from earlier!

"Takai would you like to say something?" their teacher asked.

Takai merely shook his head and took a seat in the back of the class. Ichigo glared at the guy.

"Ichigo why are you glaring at him like that?" Rukia whispered.

"That's the guy who stole the kid's soul this morning" Ichigo whispered back.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive"

Rukia was about to respond but Ichigo's deputy badge rang out.

"Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!" it clanged.

Uryu, Orihime, and Chad turned to him. Takai merely glanced in his direction.

"Sorry but I've got to go to the bathroom!" Ichigo shouted leaving the room.

"Man Ichigo sure uses the bathroom a lot" Rukia heard Keigo say as she swallowed her Chappy pill.

"Ichigo there are three hollows!" Rukia shouted.

"Got it" he shouted back seeing the hollows.

Ichigo drew Zangestu and cut the hollow's mask in half. He jumped into the air dodging the hollows claws. The third one howled at him and charged.

"Path of Destruction 4: Pale Lighting!" Rukia shouted. Her fingers glowed and lighting shot piercing the hollow's mask.

Ichigo jumped back swerving the hollow's claws cutting off it's arms. He lunged stabbing the hollow through its mask. The hollow gave one last groan before it faded away.

"Hmph. No souls here"

Ichigo and Rukia looked up. Takai stood above them his scythe zanpactou hanging over his shoulders his arms draped over it.

"You!" Ichigo shouted. He grabbed Zangestu and dashed at him. Takai eyed him coolly and spun his scythe around. The end knocked Ichigo's arm into the air. His body was wide open as the blade headed right for his chest.

"Bakudou 63: Six Bars of Light!" Rukia shouted.

Takai grunted as six bars restrained his body.

"Thanks Rukia" Ichigo said.

"Hmph you think this is enough to stop me?" Takai said.

The bars glowed the exploded as he broke free. He swung his scythe in the air.

"Wangestu Getsuei Dagekinami!" Takai shouted. A crescent shaped blasted of spirit energy shot at Ichigo.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo yelled. The blasts met head on canceling each other out.

"Well that's a surprise" Takai says coolly.

"Dance Sode no Shiraiyuki!" Rukia shouted. "Ichigo get back! First Dance White Moon!" she shouted.

Ichigo dashed back in time to dodge the column of ice that shot up from the ground. Takai was frozen solid as Ichigo landed next to Rukia.

"Wow, nice one Rukia" Ichigo said.

"Thanks Ichigo" she said panting. She had used up a lot of spirit energy against him. "We should call the soul society and-"

The ice cracked and shattered as Takai broke free. He swung his scythe again watching them. He suddenly looked up at the sound of ringing. His cell phone was ringing.

"Hello. Fine alright." He said closing the phone. "Well guys my superiors need me so I'm out. Catch you later" he said flashing a grin.

He spun his scythe in a slow circle. The sky opened up to show a small human sized hole. He stepped through it before Ichigo or Rukia could get to him.

He stepped out in a dark cave. Rocks strewn every ware he walked deeper.

"Hey Takai!"

He looked up to see Ekirei. She jumped down next to him throwing her arms around his neck. Takai smiled at her closeness. Her mask hung loosely at the waist of her skirt.

"You're late" A new voice said to them.

"Oh come on Ikusa" Ekirei said.

Ikusa jumped down from his rock plateau landing next to him. His hair was black and spiky. He tied it into a spiky ponytail his mask hanging beside his face.

"Just because you can take souls don't think you can do whatever you want" he said quietly.

"Hey hey don't fight you two"

Ekirei and Takai turned as Kikin descended. He landed lightly his bone wings folding behind his back.

"We can't afford to lose either of you" he said his eyes close his smile present.

"That's right." Said another voice. They all turned to the voice and bowed. "Welcome back Takai. Tell me how was your trip"
