-1Chapter 1.
Sliding the door open she kicked off her shoes ad padded inside. "Tala, come in here!" She heard her dad call. Sighing she headed into the living room.
"What is it?" she asked. She took in the difference in the room, everything had been pushed back to leave an empty space in the centre. Her dad was sitting cross-legged in the open space, he was dressed in black robes with a white trim and he had the largest sword she had ever seen lying on the floor beside him. She looked at the sofa and frowned, he was lying there as well, his eyes were closed and he was extremely still, "Death God," she breathed the two words.
He looked startled, "you know?" He knew she saw spirits and that she had an extremely large spirit force, he had figured that she had death god powers inside but he had thought that she was oblivious to the existence of death gods. He recovered himself and said, "come on, sit down. We have work to do." She noticed the serious look in his brown eyes so she sat down and tied her hair back, it was similar in colour to her fathers except hers was a little darker. Her blue eyes locked onto his as she waited for him to instruct her in what to do.
"Ok, focus your spirit energy, give it a shape."
She looked at him, "um...ok." She held her hands in front of her and a purple ball formed. "Like this?"
"Uh…" He looked stupefied, "yeah, exactly like that." He had expected it to take her a lot longer.
"Anything else?" Tala asked.
"Um," he was trying to think of something for her to do, he hadn't been expecting to move on to the next step so soon. "Well-"
"Ichigo!" He was cut off by a cry, they heard someone coming closer, footsteps pounded the ground, the doors slid open and Rukia appeared in the doorway breathing heavily. "Hollows…lot's of them."
