An Unnerving Chain of Events

Chapter one

His nightmare

Every night it's the same… I see a girl, she's crying, but I cannot see her face. She speaks, but it seems like she doesn't seem to see me and she is always sadden by that. I can never remember why or how… but I know her from somewhere.

I opened my eyes and was greeted by the usual sunlight. As I got ready for the day, I couldn't help but wonder, who is that girl, how do I know her, and why is she so sad? I was unable to linger on these thoughts long. A hell butterfly came and informed that there was a tiacho and fuku-tiacho meeting in first squad's barracks. Motsumoto and I arrived just in time.

As the so-tiacho commenced the meeting he said, "As I'm sure you all know, there has been another rise in the appearance of Hollows in Karakura Town over the past few weeks. They have been on the rise. We do not yet know if it is related to Aizen or not, that is why I am sending several tiachos and fuku-tiachos."

As usual several of us got immediately alert. 5th squad's Kurosaki Ichigo was tense, after all his family lived there. Myself included in the group interested, because my girlfriend Kurosaki Karin was there. If we were sent to the real world then it may be for the best, as I could better protect her, which was all I cared about.

"That is why I am sending 5th squad, 8th squad, 10th squad, and 13th squad's tiacho and fuku-tiachos, as well as the 6th squad's tiacho along to assist the current fuku-tiacho there that is 6th squad's, Abari Renji."

As he said it, everyone who was called out was eager to go and help with the current situation. Once we were all dismissed Motsumoto started to talk about shopping, fortunately it didn't take much to get her away. I went to my quarters and thought about the mission. The so-tiacho told us that we were to be there as long as it took, which was not a god thing.

Once we were all through the senkai gate all of us had to get our gigias from Kiskue. We all found places to sleep for the night, our search began tomorrow. But for now we will all rest, and gather our reatsiu. No telling what would happen tomorrow. I just knew I wasn't going to like it. And something told me it would be an awfully weird day. Yet I was okay with that, maybe spending time with Karin would make it okay… I don't know, it might have been the strange peaceful and yet familiar reatsiue that I felt over the entire city. Like someone was watching over the whole city…
